An Appeal From a mission.

Dear Christian Friend: Almost every
day some poor fellow. almost naked,
half-starved and nearly bare-fo footed
Through the Kindness of a few Chris
tian merchants We are able to stay
starvation from few of those apply

spare for these needy ones. You have
in your home some cast off garments
that are of no service to you. Can we
have them? We need any clothing,
shoes, and we beg in Jesus name to
let us have them.
Drop us postal card and we viii
send for them and you will receive the
thanks of those in need. and the smile
and approval of our Saviour. when he
shall say: "Inasmuch as you done
unto the least of these, you did unto
Me-" Yours. in His name.

NEWPORT IN THE NEWS.

What an exciting thing it would be for the country and the newspapers and their readers and for the people, good, bad and indifferent, who live in Newport, if this grateful haze of priva- cy which veils the Regis lakes could cover Newport also. The Newport tat tie is so thin and some of it is so vul- gar. Why should the world read on the front page of the New York pa pers that Mrs. Blink has sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Mrs Blank $ son for hiding Aristarchus Blink's bi- cycle? It is fairly good police news item. but it makes poor reading for a front page. Undoubtedly Mrs. Blank thinks so though Mrs. Blink may like 1t. There is a noticeable tide of crit ictsm just now on Newport's morals and manners. The main trouble is not that Newport is especially proflgate or foolish. It is that the local history of the place is written up every night from June till October and published the following morning, and that natu- rally enough, the more foolish people. being under less restraint of sense and manners than their betters, furnish most of the lively items. If we could SulY bring ourselves to look upon New port as a sanitarium. arranged on the popular cottage system, for the recep- ton and treatment of persons suffer ing from plethora of income and lei sure, we would be able to take it easy, as it deserves to be taken, and the newspapers, as they come to appreci- ate the reasonableness of our attitude, would print their Newport items in small type on the back pages, so peace would increase in the land, and our minds would be easier and Newport would be a pleasanter and more whole some place for the innocuously solvent than it can possibly be as it is.-Har- pers' Weekly.

A GEM FROM THE SARATOGA
 PLATFORM.

This sparkling passage redeems and renders memorable the New York state democratic platform of 1900:
 We maintain that the constitution follows the flag over every integral part of the United States
 If the makers of the Saratoga plat form had maintained that the consti- tuition follows the flag every every part and possession of the United States. they would have said something that meant something, even though their proposition was unsound.
 But in declaring that the constitu- tion, with it's requirement of uniform taxation, follows the flag over every ''integrar part of the United States, they simply affirm a truth which mo- kody denies, and which it is unneces- sary to state.
 An integral part of the United States is state of the Union.
 Alaska is not an integral part of the United States. although it is a terri tory of the United States.
 Perhaps the Saratoga platform, how ever, is merely muddled in it's language and intends to maintain that Alaska Is an integral part of the United States, over which the constitution, with it's requirement of uniform taxation, fol- lows the flag.
 How. then 60 the statesmen and jur- isconsults at Saratoga explain the cir cumstance that when the Alaska bill passed the house on the fSth of last May, imposing excise duties in Alaska which are as far from being uniform throughout the United States as Is the Porto Rico tariff, not a single demo- cratic congressman from New York re- corded his vote against it?-New York Sun.

The bridegroom had got farm with his wife. and if he wanted to squeeze her hand or feed her With sweets, whose business was it? A little old man sat opposite the couple, and looked at them so often that final iy the young husband explained:

 And we can't help 1t. you know"
 No, you can't; I'll be blowed if you can!"

WELCOMED WHERE?

The New York Press. speaking of col cred Congressman Whites purpose to emigrate from North Carolina with 50,- 900 of his people, says: "He would be welcomed elsewhere, we know"
 Will the Press kindly indicate where Certainly not in New York, where it requires a platoon of 800 police to guard twenty-two colored men walking home.
 Not in Jersey City. where "man- hunts" have been the order of the day during the past week.
 Not in Chicago. which has had the rope out twice for unoffending colored men within the month.
 Not in Pana or Virden, where colored men were shot dead by platoons for asking for work
 Not in Ohio, where Washington, Ur- bana and Akron displayed the hang mans moose.
 Not in Boston. where there is no work for a negro to do.
 Where, then. must the negro go to find this proffered lcome?-Atlanta Constitution.

He is fresh from three weeks outing spent in the Moosehead lake region of Nadine. His camp was only a stones throw from that of U. IS. Senator w. P. Fry, acting vice-pres- ldent of the United States. He de- clares that one morning last week he was up early and overheard an an,mat- ed discussion between his own guide and him of the next camp as to the proper manner in which to address Senator Fry. They finally agreed to let the senator settle it himself.

WHAT A NAME CAN DO.

Pittsburg.-Rather than write his name 54,OOO times. A. NJ. Moreland secretary of the Carnegie steel compa- ny, resigned. This is the basis of the recent sensational story about MT. Moreland being forced out of the Car negie concerns and his retirement being followed by that of other officials.
 MT. Moreland is the secretary Of all the Carnegie interests, including the Carnegie company, the New Jersey cor poration, which is the operating com pany. The old Carnegie steel company. limited. organized under the laws of Pennsylvania, has to retain a separate organization.
 The work of issuing the 160 million dollars worth of bonds of the Carnegie company, which was part of the reor- ganization scheme, fell upon MT. More land. There are 54,OOO bonds, ranging in denomination from $1,OO0 to $25, 900 each. and MT Moreland had to affiX his signature as secretary of the Carnegie Steel company, limited, to all of them.
 As this was mere clerical labor, and as his time was needed for more inn portant matters. he resigned the office of secretary of the Steel company. He did not intend to quit the service of An drew Carnegie, and Is still a director in all the concerns.
 As the directors did not accept his resignation he had to begin the work of issuing the bonds. He has been writ ing his name on them for week now and is not half through yet.-Philadel- phai Times

AS BUSINESS MEN VIEW TT.

Under date Of September 8, the firm of HaTnbleton & Co.,, one of the lead ing banking houses of Baltimore, issued a bulletin containing the following:
 The news from China this week ap- pears to indicate a satisfactory agree ment among the powers and to promise a peaceful solution of the question.
 The pro-Bryan politicians are doing all they can to embarrass the govern ment and seem to be lost to all sense of shame at their unpatriotic conduct.
 We feel satisfied, however, that a very large majority of our people ap- preciate the efforts of the administra- tion. to secure for this country justice and for our people protection, and are proud of the splendid record the United States has made in China.
 The Bryan crowd have undertaken a big job when they stake their chances of success upon creating a sen, timent favorable to the Chinese and Filipinos and antagonistic 10 our sol. diers and sailors.
 It is well enough for the pOpulist newspapers to criticize the government for not withdraw wing our troops from China as soon as our legation was res CueQ, put, II we SUOulu uO SO, anu III consequence should have the door of trade shut in our face, these same newspapers would blame the adminis- tration for disregard of the welfare of cur people. Nothing that President Mckinley can do appears to suit these Bryan papers, but when il comes to a vote Of confidence 1t will bo shown whether the people of America prefer a continuation of prosperity or four years of doubt. distrust and uncertain V. if not active and absolute disaster.
 The New York market is rather dis posed to be firm and we do not sec any indication of any decided change in the rear future. As we have frequently remarked, we anticipate that some time before the election it will be demon strated that MT. Bryan is hopelessly beaten and that there will be an ad- vance in prices in anticipation of Presl' cent McKinley's reelection.
 At present the situation appears to be about as follows;
 The railroads continue to show sub stantial increases over the same period last year, general business is fairly good and money continues easy. On the other hand, the west and south are be- ginning to draw on New York foi' funds to move the crops and the hanks prom ise to show decreasing reserves.
 Our home market has been more active but irregular in tone.

MIR GLADSTONEs AsTUTENESs

One day MT. Gladstone, who had just then turned 20, was stopped in a street by a man minus a leg, who solicited aims and averred he had been injured st the battle of Waterloo. Inquiring the number of the fellows regiment, MT. Gladstone then submitted him to a smart cross examination concerning it's position in the great battle, and the would-be eX-warrior broke down entire ly. He admitted that he was a com plete fraud, and owned that he had lost his leg by being run over by a wagon. He further volunteered that he was in- toXicated at the time, but noticing that MT. Gladstone seemed more amused than otherwise the vagrant whined. Sir, if you had only a lost leg to get a living out of you'd be inclined, I fancy, to make as much of it as you could. I told the truth till l was starved, then got on the battle of Waterloo lay and it pays much better. Thank heaven, young gentleman, all people are not so mighty smart as you are, and most of em believes me-" The young Oxford undergraduate, as he was then, was so tickled with the candor of the impos- ter that he gave him a shilling.-House- hold words

sCHURMAN ON A SHAM ISSUE

President Schurman of Cornell Uni versity, who was a member of the first Philippines commission, and who will speak at the Cooper Union republican rally tonight. was at republican na- tonal headquarters yesterday. He un- derstands as thoroughly as any man in the country the administrations pol icy toward the Philippines, and he con- siders imperialism a fictitious issue
 If Washington or Jackson or Cleve- land" he said, had been in the White House instead of Mckinley, not one of them could have escaped the obliga- tions growing out of the war with Spain, or have solved them in man Ter substantially different from that adopted by the Mckinley administra- tion. You cannot turn the Philippine Islands over to the Filipino people be- cause there is no Filipino people. There is only a medley of four score different tribes and races who cannot understand one another'S speech and who occupy different places in the scale of civilization and barbarism. The Kansas City platform advocates. first Of all, establishing a stable govern ment in the Philippines. That is exact
 ly what the Mckinley administration has been doing, and when it is accom-
 plished the next step will be to train the Filipinos to govern themselves. Meanwhile they have all the liberty and home rule the separate communi- ties are capable of exercising. The is
 sue of imperialism. in my opinion, will prove as fruitless against Mckinley as l. was against Jefferson after his pur
 chase of Louisiana."-New York Sun.
