Mr.. Bryan would be compelled to say:

to destroy the national repute for
honesty by legalizing dishonest dol
lar; announce this murderous intent
in my platform in the precise words
employed by me in 1896. when this
design was declared paramount.
"But to assassinate national credit
is not my main purpose to-day; I

and to strike down the republics

4 to 4 Was Dead.

When no elections are pending such
astute politicians as Richard Croker,
the Tammany leader. will sometimes
give expression to their real views on
public questions. Mr.. Croker. under
date of January 6. 1899. contributed a
signed Communication to the New

organ, which. by the way, Is saying

A RECORD mol BE PROUD OF.
cubu Ha. Been Rapidly Getting Into
shape for the Promised Self
Government.

The work of American occupation in
Cuba may be briefly summed up as fol-
lows: Good order prevails all over the
island. The country is self-supporting,
with much lower taxation than i'm
posed by Spain, and at the close of the
last fiscal year there was an available
balance of 100000. Thirty-one hun
dred schools have been opened. $500
teachers employed md 10000 children
are inschool. Seven courts having trial
by Jury have been established in the
larger towns. The elections for may
ors passed off quietly and no arrests
were made. Preparations are now go
ing forward for elccting delegates to a
convention whose duty will be to pre-
pare constitution and form of govern
ment for the island. The troops are be-
ing gradually withdrawn and the way
to complete Cuban independence is
being rapidly prepared. This record,
unparalleled in the history Of the deal
ings Of one nation with another, Is evil
dence Of the fact that the republican
party is a builder and supporter Of re-
publics. and not the friend of inn
periaiism. 1t does its duty, unterriAed
by the shoutings Of all the organs.
Baileys and Blackburns, who would
shirk responsibility, minimize patriot
ism and refuse to guide the weaker ma
lions into the noble, self-denying path
of liberty.

A Room That Is Original.

The brown earthenware jugs that
certain brands of whiskies and cor
dials are put up in have been made
into very effective mantel and side
board ornaments by young woman
with artistic instincts. The labels
have been washed off and the
jugs splashed with yellow oil paint.
They tone in with the oak woodwork
of the dining room. There is no com
bination prettier than blue and yellow.
and as the walls are blue there is
dash of this shade in some of the jugs.
At any department store or china shop
the flower shoppers can be found. That
is a Dresden china flower on a large
cork, which is to be utilized when the
cork of a bottle is drawn. 1t is very
rare that the cork that comes in the
bottle can be used after it is pierced
with the corkscrew In the yellow jugs
the shoppers are yellow chrysanthe
NUNS and blue morning glories They
give to the room that touch of origin
ality and individuality that every wo-
man strives for. The curtains are
white net appliqued with lace bow
knots and are Topped back with rib
bOns, upon which are embroidered in
chenille chrysanthemums and morn
ing glories. In one corner of the room
hangs gilt canary cage occupied by
sweet voiced bit of yellow fluff. To
protect the walls from being splashed
when Mr.. Canary takes his morning
dip the lower part OF the cage is drap-
ed by a gathered curtain of the net,
which is drawn under the cage and
tied with ribbon that matches that on
the curtains.

Our PRAYERS.

All sincere seeking after God, under
whatever form, is prayer-the effort
OF the soul to find its rest and peace
The very act of praying is an asser-
ton and expression of our kinship
with God. So far as we neglect or re-
fuse to pray we deny that kinship and
cast the crown of glory from our
brows. Very few ever think of deny
ing 1T. Many are exceedingly careless
about their prayers. Many know very
little about the real meaning and bless
edness OF prayer. But those who never
pray, who never lift their hearts to
COD, and never aspire after truth and
holiness, are very rare. Even the
skeptic and the unbeiever pray in
spite OF themselves. A man must be
utterly depraved and brutalized before
the spirit OF prayer will forsake him
or his sense of dependence and need is
lost. So hard is it for any one to get
away from the living God. In some
great extremity Of life in the midst of
danger, when no earthly power can
avail TO help, or under deep convic-
ton of sin, when the outraged con-
science asserts itself, the hungry heart
cries out for the bread of life. the spir-
il utters its immortal protest, the pent-
up waters break loose, and nature has
her way. Then the man who was never
known to pray falls to his knees and
stretches out lame hands for that help
which he has SO long neglected or de-
spised. And how lame he is, how pitt
able in his blindness, how pathetic are
his appeals to heaven, In the last an
alysis the life of the spirit means sim
ply life of prayer, seeking and re-
ceiving the life of God, and the secret
of that life is disclosed nowhere but
in the closet and on ones knees. The
way to the heights is across the val
ley. He who will not humble himself
cannot be exalted. A prayerless man
may perhaps be moral, but he cannot
be spiritual. He may keep a statute,
but he cannot keep the law of love.
However kind and good and respect
able such person may be, he can
not be Christian-F. W. Baldwin,
ID. d.
