Again, my subject teaches that when
we cross over at the last we shall be
met at the landing. When David and
his family went over in the ferryboat
spoken of in the text, they landed amid
a nation that had come out to greet
them. AS they stepped from the deck
of the boat to the shore there were
thousands Of people who gathered
around them to express a satisfaction
that was beyond description. And so
you and 1 will be met at the landing.
Our arrival will not be like stepping
ashore at Antwerp or Constantinople
among a crowd of strangers. 1t will be
among friends, good friends, those who
are warm hearted frieIsAs, and all their
friends. We know people whom we
have never seen by hearing somebody
talk about them very much. We know
them almost as well as if we had seen
them. And do you not suppose that
our parents and brothers and sisters
and children in heaven have been talk
Ing about us all these years and talk
ing to their friends? So that, l sup
pose, when we cross the river at the
last we shall not only be met by all
those Christian friends whom we knew
on earth, but by all their friends. They
will come down to the landing to meet
us. Your departed friends love you
now more than they ever did. You will
be surprised at the last to find how
they know about all the affairs of your
life. Why. they are only across the
ferry. and the boat is coming this way,
and the boat is going that way. | do

Remarkable CLERGYMAN.

The Rev. DR.. Robert Rainy, now "A
years old, has been principal of New
college, Edinburgh, for SO years. HE
u.s." says The CongregatiOnalist, "the
most remarkable parsonage in Scottish
ecclesiastical councils. No man has so
strong a hold as he upon the Free
church or is so often made a presiding
officer in it's public gatherings. He is
unaffected and unassuming, always
courteous in speech, with an instinct
for divining and guiding the feeling of
assemblies. In the religious history Of
Scotland no event probably will stand
out with greater significance than the
union into one church of two long di-
vided branches, consummated in Edin-
burgh on Oct. 81, 1900. And no name
will be so prominently associated with
that event as the name of Principal
Rainy"

What Became of a Career.

It will be remembered that year
ago the power was given to Governor
Stanley to appoint some girl who would
be given her tuition free in a New
York art school. Every section pointed
to some girl with a career, but no mon
ey to achieve it; every section begged
the governor to make no mistake and
lose to the world q famous artist by
appointing the wrong girl. After
number of prayerful nights he made
Miss Lillian Dyer of Abilene the fortu-
nate girl with a career. She was en-
gagged in the study of art in New York
just three months when she became en-
gagged, and she was married Thursday.
It seems that any man with a marriage
license can bust up a career.-Atchison

SENATOR DANIEL PROPHETIC.

Senator Daniel is a genuine orator
mirable rhetorical and sometimes elo-
quent passages. He represented the
south in the recent Washington centen-
NAL. We a always read him with
pleasure even When the satisfaction is
not complete. Some times limoges and
the hurrah "optimists," as they delight
to believe themselves. seize upon his
1orid and earnest periods upon which
to build their wild hopes and expansive
theories, but the distinguished Virgin
ian cannot be held responsible for their
vagaries or Misrepresentation or mis-
applications. We take a few extracts
from his eloquent effort:
"Our development has been the epic
of human progress. 1t has maze poetry
of statistics and glorious omanc of
history. 1t has left the dreams of OPP
timiSts as faded specterS in n rear of
achievement. Our longevity projects
itself to the farthest reach of human
speculation, and the future is gorgeous
with every sign of hope and courage.
We are the most thoroughly uni
fled of the great nations. In this build
ing the differences of forty-five COM
m~onwealthS- and Seventy-SiX millions
of people come to the mill to be ground
out. The whirl of the grinding is great,
and might make the impression that
our differences were also great. But
be not deceived. Our states are as
much alike in their forms of govern
ment as the leaves of a tree. Our peo-
pie are alike in the language, their
laws, their usages and their aspira-
tons. We are the foremost nation
of the world. We are the light and hope
of the world. 1t is our freedom that
has made us great. We have
been a world GIVE ever since we tied
taxation and representation together
and identified in one community the
taxlayer and aXpayer 1t was out of
that germ that arose our free conSti-
tuition. Wherever it is found a free
constitution would grow out of it. 1t
has quickened the republic movement
around the globe"
That reads we'll. 1t is pretty and af-
fluent and full of Young America"
But it would % be a difficult task to
indite a column or two in comment and
replication. And yet, we would fain
believe. there is no little truth in what
is said with so much of fervid zeal ard
kindling expression. Senator Daniel
is a democrat, a man of the south, a
loyal citizen of the American Union,
and yet there is more or less said in the
above that might invite protest. But
he is an orator and an ornament to the
south and an honor to Virginia

sharp and numerous criticisms made
upon him by independent democrats.

who believe they know who is respon-
sible for this condition W. copy a
paragraph from The Journals defence

HE did not say that the party
should adopt his views: he did not
utter word that indicates a desire
on his part to dictate. or even suggest,

party which all coolheaded and clear
minded democrats must realize as a
condition precedent TO its success.
And yet We hear from various quar-
tiers a clamor against MI. Cleveland

he did say, we have this only-that If

and the rank and file who in two
great and disastrous campaigns stood
by their guns without shrinking or de-
sertion, and delivered battle for prin-
ciples they held and hold to be funda-
mental, Jeffersonian imperative. They
fought a good fight, were defeated in
battling for the right, have no apollo
gies to make, are very sorry for the
country that they did not succeed, and
are ready and resolute to meet the en-
emies they nave so often fought in de-
fence of h most sacred rights of the
constitution and the people, and to die
in the last ditch for the maintenance of
a free governments government of
the people and for the people and by

REPUBLICAN, OPINION On THE
SUBSIDY BILL

The republican party is by no means
an unit on the subsidy steal scheme.
There are prominent politicians and
many newspapers of that party who
are fighting it. Ex-Representative
Thomas W. Phillips, of Pennsylvania,
is strong in his opposition to the gross
.niquity of the vile Hanna bill. His
views are published in the New York
Evening Post. We notice that a large
Philadelphia shipping firm is protest
ing vigorously against the bill. They
show that the bill discriminates against
a large class of shippers. and declares
that such an act would be a species of
special legislation of the most obnox-
ious type, comforting exclusive privi-
leges Upon a favored few. The firm

operating established lines Of ranSat-
lantic steamers, and have for some

a measure like the present senate sub
sidy bill would put US under such a
burdensome handicap with respect to
competitors, whom this bill especially
favors, that we may be entirely barred
from the ccnSummation Of our plans
in this respect"

Kipling made the British soldier with
his character Tommy Atkins. But
Tommy has not behaved we'll and does
not seem to have really sat for the
1attering picture of the artist. Ter
rible tales come from South Africa,
concerning the celebrated English
"gallantry." The fact is Tommy has
disgraced himself and he treats the
poor women of the Beers most shame
fully, most shockingly. Madame Har-
dus, of Kimberly, reports:
To-day arrived eight women and
twenty-four children from Potchef
stroom by the train. They had a ter
rible tale to tell of how they were
dragged away by Kaffirs. thrust into
Jail, after being kept some time with
out food, taken by soldiers to Kim
berly. 81
When they arrived there their
clothes were in rags having been torn
by soldiers. W of them had been
subjected to indignities. Some Of them
were widows; two had husbands in the
army. 1 was glad to be able to get
them some food. which they badly
needed"
Another correspondent describes the
arrival of six poor women from the
same district in miserable plight. Two
women who had suffered from the vio-
lence of soldiers were taken to the
hospital for treatment.

friends, when in the house of represen-
tatives he spoke "of defects of the So
called Gold Standard Act" We have

of that gold paper, the New York Even
ing Post Mr.. Hill commended that the
act was imperfect, insufficient, made
quate. 1t did not meet the necessities
in finance by not providing "for keep
ing our silver money on a par with
gold.' We quote from the Evening
Posts comments:
He pointed out the clause which re-
quires the Secretaryof the treasury to
maintain such parity. but showed that
not only was no new W lodged in
his and to execute the law in an
emergency, but hat the former pow
ers, those exercised by Secretary Car
Isle, had been nullified by the Gold
Standard Act, so that we. are in a more
helpless condition now han W. were
before that act was passed. The
new law, says Mr.. Hill, provides that
the secretary must exhaust the green
backs and the gold and h current
funds of the treasury before he a is
sue a bond; and when he issues bonds,
the proceeds can only be applied to the
redemption of greenbacks, n not to
with gold = The upshot of the whole
