kruSer The ESSue.

The world will watch with great in
terest to see what Great Britain will
do in case, as now appears not impos-
sible, it receives the surrender OF
President Kruger. The rumor that the
president is meditating a surrender,
but wishes to know first what England
proposes to do with him, may be pre-
mature. but it is certain that if he is
taken the question of his ultimate
disposition will have to be met. The
ground upon which Napoleon was sent
to st. Helena was that he was a pub.
lie enemy and menace to the peace
of nations. In order to keep him In
restraint in Europe it would have beer
necessary to imprison him and so h,
was placed in tolerable comfort on tn,
remote island. The same plea can
hardly be urged in the case OF Kruger
who has waged war with but one
foe.

often doing nothing with them save to
hold them for future speculation. The
European nations forget sometimes
that jurisdiction and ownership are
two different things. Jurisdiction is
costly, and unless it is in full accord
with the will and the customs of the
people over whom it is exercised it is
ineffective and Improbable.

TALMAGE'S SERMON.
HE TALKS OF THE GOOD DONE
BY CITIES.
They Are the Birthplace OF Civilization
and Are Not Necessarily Evil -
The Farmer as Dishonest rs the
Merchant.

Copyright, 1900. by Louis Klopsch)
From St. Petersburg. the Russian
capital, where he was cordially re-
ceived by the emperor and empress and
the empress dowager. DR.. Talmage
sends this discourse, in which he shows
the mighty good that may be done by
the cities, and also the vast evil they
may do by their allurements to the I'M
suspecting and the unguarded. The
text is Zechariah /. II, My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread
abroad"
The city is no worse than the coun-
try. The vices of the metropolis are
more evident than the vices Of the
rural districts because there are more
to be bad If they wish to be. The
merchant is as good as the farmer
There is no more cheating in town
than out of town-no worse cheating;
1t Is only on larger scale. The coun-
tryman sometimes prevaricates about
the age Of the horse that he sells, about
the size of the bushel with which he
measures the grain. about the peaches
at the pottom OF the basket as being
as large as those at the top, about the
quarter of beef as being tender when
1t is tough, and to as bad an extent
as the citizen. the merchant, prevari-
Gates about calieoes or silks or hard
ware.
And as to villages, l think that in
some respects they are worse than
the cities because they copy the vices
Of the cities in the meanest shape, and
as to gossip its heaven is a country
village. Everybody knows everybody's
business better than he knows 1t him
self. The grocery store or the black
smith shop by day and night is the
grand depot for masculine title tattle,
and there are always in the village
q half dozen women who have their
the first item Of derogatory news they
can fly out and cackle it all over the
town. Countrymen must not be too
hard in their criticism of the citizen,
nor Erst the pillow run too sharply
against the yardstick.
Cain was the founder of the first
city, and | suppose 1t took after him
In morals. 1t takes a city long while
prisons are the shadow of those foun-
der. Where the founders of a city are
criminal eXiles. the filth, the vice. the
prisons are the shadow Of their foun-
ders. 1t will take centuries for New
York to get over the good influence of
the pious founders of that city-the
founders whose prayers went up in the
streets where now banks discount and
brokers bargain and companies de-
clare dividends and smugglers swear
custom house lies. and above the roar
of the wheels and the crack of the auc-
tioneer's mallet ascends the ascrip-
ton, I'VE worship thee, o thou al
mighty dollar" The old church that
used to stand on Wall street is to this
day throwing its blessing on the scene
OF traffic, and on all the ships folding
their white wings in the harbor. In
other days people gathered in cities
for defense-none but the poor, who
had nothing to be stolen, lived in the
country, but in these times, when
through civilization and Christianity it
Is safe to live anywhere. people gather
In the cities for purposes OF rapid
gain.

Highway of Prosperity.

Cities are not evil necessarily, as
some have argued. They have been
the birthplace of civilization. In them
popular liberty has. lifted its voice
Witness Genoa and Pisa and Venice
After the death of Alexander the Great
among his papers were found extensive
rians Of cities, some to be built in Eu-
rope, some to be built in Asia. The
cities in Europe were to be occupied
by Asiatics; the cities in Asia were to
be occupied. according to his plan. by
Europeans, and so there should be a
commingling and a fraternity and a
kindness and good will between the
continents and between the cities. So
there always ought to be. The strang-
est thing in my comprehension is that
there should be chickering's and rival
ries among our American cities. New
York must stop caricaturing Philadel-
phia, and Philadelphia must stop pick
ing at New York. and certainly the
continent is large enough for st. Paul
and Minneapolis. What is good for
one city is good fJr all the cities. Here
is the great highway of our national
prosperity. Oh that highway of ma
tional prosperity walk the cities.
A city with large forehead and great
brain-that is Boston; a city with de-
liberate step and calm manner-that
is Philadelphia; city with its pocket
full OF change-that is New York; two
cities going with rush that astounds
the continent-they are ST. Louis and
Chicago; a city that takes it's wife and
children along with it-that is Brook
Ign. Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburg,
all the cities of the north and all the
cities OF the south. some distinguished
for one thing. some for another, one
for professional ability. another for
aftiuence. another for fashion. but not
one to be spared. What advantages one
advantages all. What damages Boston
Common damages Washington square.
Laurel Hill, Mount Auburn, Greenwood,
weep over the same grief. The statue
of Benjamin Franklin in New York
greeting the bronze statue OF Edward
Everett in Boston. All the cities a
confraternity. cannot understand
how there should go on chickering's and
rivalries. l plead for a higher style
Of brotherhood or sisterhood among
the cities.
Important Lessons.
But while there are great differences
in some respects have to tell you that
all cities impress upon me and ought
to impress upon you three or four very
important lessons, all OF them agree
ing in the same thing. II does not
make any difference In what part OF
the country We walk the streets OF a
great city there is one lesson think
which ought to strike every intelligent
Christian man. and that is that the
world is a scene OF toll and struggle.

Again. in all these cities / am i'm
pressed with the fact that life is full
of pretension and sham. What sub
terfuge, what double dealing, what
two facedness! Do all people who wish
you good morning really hope for you
happy day? Do all the people who
shake hands love each other? Are all
those anxious about your health who
inquire concerning It? Do all want to
see you who ask you to call? Does
all the world know half as much as 1t
pretends to know? Is there not many
a wretched stock Of goods with a bril-
liant store window? Passing up and
down the streets to your business and
your work. are you not impressed with
the fact that society is hollow and that
there are subterfuges and pretensions?
oh. how many there are who swagger
and strut and how few people who
are natural and walk? While fops
shipper and fools smoker and simple
tons giggle. how few people are nat
ural and laugh! / say these things

anthrophy. nor do forget there are

THE CUSTOM HOUSE ROW.
Special Agent Macntee has Concluded his
Investigation and Ssnt his Report
to Washington.
News and Courier, 8th.)

kNc"S ana Courier, 9th.
Mr.. G. A. Macatcc, special agent of
treasury department, concluded his in
vcstigation yesterday into the conduct
OF affairs at the Custom House. His
report will reach the hands OF the Sec
rctary OF the Treasury Monday morn
ing, but when action will be taken il
not known. Mr.. Macatec has made u
thorough investigation, which lasted
exactly one week. When he first ar
rived he was inclined to give little Gre
dcncc that liquor was stored in tho Gus
tom House. Reports were strong
enough to lead him to believe that it
had been stored there, but he was not
inclined to believe that he would find
any there. Last Sunday morning,
when tho empty kegs were found, in
vestigation began Alright.
OBricn's confession was not accept

very strong nature. The main point OF
evidence is tho barrel Of rum. Mr..
Ostcndortf claims it to have been his
personal property, but Mr.. Macatee, it
Is snid, has reason to doubt this. The
internal revenue department can trace
every gallon Of liquor that makes To-
gitimato start from the distillery. This
particular kcg-or, rather, barrel-of
thlrty.onc gallons of rum has passed
through the required regulations Of
the department, except the storing of
1t in the Custom House. Evidence OF q
gravcr nature has been found against
certain parties in the Custom House.
but for reasons it is withheld.
The last witness called up was O man
named Scott, former employee about
the building. His evidence or tcsti-
mony was used to corroborate certain
information gained mostly by Mr.. Mac
atcc on the outside. On Friday Mr..
Macatec devoted great deal of his
time to outside work and secured yalu-
aGlc evidence in the case.
1t cannot be stated authoritativcly
what his recommendation is, but it. is
rumored very lively shaking up of
the collectors Office.
