FAITHFUL MISSIONARIES.

There was once a time when the man or
who elected to go into heather
lands as a missionary was thought to have
entered upon life of the greatest self
denial and sacrifice. and because the de-
termination thus to serve the Lord and
their fellow beings was held to involve so
much that was beyond the ordinary ca
pacity to undertake they were looked upon
with an admiration and respect that ap-
preached reverence. In more recent years
this attitude toward this class of workers
has changed somewhat. The facilities of
travel are now such that they make
occasional visits to their old homes. and
the same facilities have made it possible
for innumerable globe-trotters TO visit even
remote missionary fields They find the
exiles living in comfortable houses and
enjoying certain Injuries which would not
be possible to them in their own country,
for instance. in India. a retinue of serv-
ants. The observers do not know that
caste or local regulations require that each
man shall keep to his accustomed calling,
that the cook shall not sweep the floor. the
laundress shall not cook nor wait upon the
table, that the children's nurse shall per-
form that service only and so on. Nor do
they understand that half dozen of these
servants are not equal to one capable Eng
lish or American ''maid-of-all-work." Con-
sequentiy, they go on their careless way.
feeling that a missionary is rather to be
envied than otherwise and that he and his
family live very much at their ease. But.
though it is doubtless true that mission

Representative Bingham. of Pennsyl-
vania- was one of those who spoke in the
House in favor Of promoting General Miles
to the rank of lieutenant general. Mr..
Bingham served on General Hancock's staff
during the civil war. and close friendship
existed between them. Miles. then a young
officer. was in Hancock's command and
was already attracting attention. Mr..
Mitchell said that General Hancock mot
once. during the war, but many. many
times, declared that had General Miles en-
joyed the opportunities and received the
benefits of a West Point education he
would have developed into one of the ablest
and most brilliant commanders, as he was
one of the bravest officers, of the civil
war;" No West Point graduate could have
done better than Miles did in the civil war
Entering the army as a lieutenant he rose
by successive promotions to the rank of
major general of volunteers, and at the
age of twenty-five commanded an army
corps. Perhaps it was natural that Gen.
Hancock, being himself graduate of
West Point and fine soldier, should have
regarded a technical military education as
essential to the making of great COM
-nander. but history and experience have
shown this is not always correct.

a NEW GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

At last the movement for new govern
ment building in this city has reached a
point where the people may congratulate
themselves on the assured and early real
ization of long-cherished desire. The
need of a new federal building began TO be
felt nearly twelve years ago. and in 1898 a
bill to that effect was introduced by Mr.
Bynum in the House and by Mr.. Turpie in
the Senate. An appropriation for the pur-
pose passed the Senate once or twice, but
for various public and private reasons
favorable action could not be obtained IN
the House. The appropriation originally
proposed and passed by the Senate was not
been made. From the beginning of the
movement the Commercial Club of this
city rendered valuable assistance in pro
noting 1t by collecting facts regarding the
growth of business, the needs of the city.
etc. For several years, however, IT made
Of its success dates from the revival of
prosperity following the election of Re
publican President and the election of
Republican representative from this dis
trict and two Republican senators from the
State. This fortunate combination of cir
cumstances gave the movement new life
and the popularity of Mr.. Overstreet in the
House and the skiIlful management of Mr..
Fairbanks in the Senate. aided latterly by
Senator Beveridge. have brought II to a
successful conclusion. or, at least, to q
