The WATCH NIGHT.
Copyright. 1900

Twas like an old-time lovefeast-that
watch night for it seemed
That heaven was just SO near to US It's
l.ght around US streamed:
Jerusalem. the golden, flung all its por-
tails wide,
And we felt the shining presence Of the
crowned ana crucified.
We saw. as 'twere beneath a bright and
al-revca,ing sky,
That far-on land. Ger Jordan's strand.
where our possessions lie.
And heard. while all our songs Of JOY
were thrilled and waited Ger
4 softer. sweeter music from the bright
celestial shore.
The dear old songs Of Zion-the old and
ever new
From praying lips md hearts that night
were answered from the blue;
We listened for the answer. with perfect
faith. and then
When one cried "Haueluiah" soft echoes
said. "Amen"
"Aronr' each face upnfted seemed all
a-Shiue with light
The radiance Of the realms that know no
sorrow-neither night;
w 1t re never any bitSSlia ~ Ills N''i'''' -
lie denies
When the Lord Himself shall wipe away
the teardrops from their eyes
Twas like an old-time Lovefeast: Old
time Lovcfeast: Old scenes were
brought TO view
We had the old-tlme singing. and the
"old religion too!
We told how lie had walked with us
through valleys OF Despair.
Until at last. the dangers past. His love
had led US there!
And all sang "Hallelujah" in sight Of
heavenly lands:
Twas n glad shaking M of hearts. as
well as shaking hands!
And the Old Year died in music. and the
New Year dawned in light,
And we passed 10 Gods good morning
from the glory of His Night!

TIE "TRLST" OUESTLON-

American fitness for self government so far
as it exists means that the people are both
willing and able TO form correct and just opin-
ions on questions affecting the public welfare.
A good many voters, all know, are not fit for
self-goyernment but the number is much
smaller than most persons imagine. Even the
unlettered and plain people, in Mr.. Lincolns
phrase, have been judging between the CON
ficting representations OF the two great parties
for forty years, and the result proves that they
have judged on the whole with astonishing cor
rectness. Their task this year in Judging be-
tween Democratic and Republican proposals re-
garding trusts and mOnopolies and industrial
combinations will not be Oh the whole more
difficult than many others which they have met
with complete success. They We're not fooled
by the greenback craze in the years 1S6S-7G.
They were not fooled by the tricks OF free trad
ers In 1880 or 1855, nor by the cutlery for free
silver In 1896. The mistakes they have made
have been sufficiently costly 10 help them in
judging between the opposing parties hereafter.
Once more this year they will be asked to put
out of power those whose conduct of govern
ment has resulted in the highest prosperity ever
known, and TO put in those whose management
resulted in the worst prostration for half a CEN
fury.
In particular, they will be asked TO smash up
abuses have appeared-to burn down the house
in order 10 get rid of the rats. That is essen
TALLY the nature of all Democratic proposals
respecting industrial combinations. For all
know that the consolidation of many works and
corporations has gone SO far aud brought about
so great a change Ia the conditions Of manu-
facfure and trade that a sweeping attack upon
all the combinations, good and bad alike would
smash up business after7the fashion of 1893
One has only 10 look with care at the declara-
tons of leading Democrats, at the laws enacted
IN Democratic States and at proposals by Dem
ocrats in Congress see that they entirely lack
discrimination between corporations that bless
the country and those that curse it. One pro-
posal by the Democratic leader in the House
would entirely stop the movement from any
State into any other of the products of any con-
Germ realizing more than a bare interest on
money loaned. The plainesf of plain people can
see that thousands Of workmen would have TO

be discharged and millions Of capital withdrawn
for lending In other countries If any law or
such purport should be enacted.
That is extravagant folly, it may be granted,
but no Democrat offers anything but extrava-
CANT folly fraudulent evasion. The Democrat
who spends so much time in denouncing mo-
nopolies and trusts never states what precise
thing he would attack. If 1t is monopoly, or
complete and arbitrary control of prices. abso-
lutely not exists. If 1t is the advance or
prices by agreement of producers, exactly as
farmers agree TO get better prices for cotton or
wheat and workingmen to get better wages
for labor, no law can strike down one and not
the other. If 1t Is an unreasonable and eXtor-
Tomato advance resulting from circumstances
which manufacturer combination can con-
troll examples like that of the Steel and Wire
company show how swiftly the circumstances
may so change even while legal authority for
action is being sought, as to alter prices and
conditions far more than any law could have
altered them Any legal interference would
force the closing of works employing many
thousand hands for an indefinite time until the
question could be brought to trial, and that
would only force prices still higher, while cut
ting off the living of multitudes
Let any man look with care at the proposals
made by any leading Democrat or any conven-
ton Of that party in respect to the industrial
combinations. and he will find that they pros
trate business and industries the first step,
even by fear of interference. before thing
could be done to frame new law or to enforce
one. He will find such vagueness of statement,
such incapacity TO define the thing assaied, that
the most worthy and beneficial corporation
would be threatened and imperilled not less
than the most grasping and harmful. 1t will
then be in order TO reflect that the same party
which has promoted and guarded the prosperity
of the country for forty years is quite capable
as it ever has been to deal with such problems
and quite to seek by any policy it may
adopt the advancement Of prosperity first and
all the time, instead of blind, laundering and
vindictive warfare against all corporations, good
and bad.

several reasons why such occurrences rare.
First, there not many women who adopt the

Second there are fewer who, having put to

still fewer VINO have money enough TO spare hav-
ing the hardihoOd to give public with

ceptiOnal Qualifications and is little afraid OF
consequences that she was willing last night be-
sides TO beat time 10 the music. Wherefore, and
for reasons of gallantry and a proper respect for
