THE L DEW.

Down through the darkness of the night
Tne gentle dews of heaven descend,
CntA the new moon flashes bright,
And arkness fees and shadow end.
so IN lies dark and gloomy hours,
sorrows night enshrouds the soul.
The dews of grace, like spirit showers
Descend to strengthen and console.
The Christians life is not all day.
1t has its nights of deepest gloom,
When clouds and darkness wrap his way
A arkness that no stars iIlume.
Like the parched grass beneath his feet,
whose life is trampled into dust.
And withered meath the furnace heat.
He reels beneath zach fiery thrust.
But through the dark and starless night,
In His good time, the dews of grace
come down with healing and respite.
And verdure fresh now fills each place.
lis in the dark our eager hands
Reach out and feel and search for God;
We wait in silence His commands.
Through all the gloom our souls en-
Shroud.
As dew upon the dry, parched grass
Clothes with new life and sheen the fields,
SO Ger the heart, though hard as brass,
The Spirit strength and quickening
Yields.
The dropping, fainting soul r~evives,
As OF it falls the dew of grace;
AS faith grows strong all graces thrive,
And all things wear a smiling face.
Were there no night we ne'er should see
The stars that shine above our head,
No dew on parched earth or tree
Would its refreshing virtue shed.
Had We no seasons of distress,
Nor hours OF darkness, grief or pain.
We ne'er should know how He can bless,
&or how much from those things we
gain.

A SIGN OF q TIMES.
The Failures In May the Largest
Ever Recorded for That Month
Unequal Conditions.

The failures in May, according to
Dun's review, were not only the
largest ever known in that month since
a regular record of failures has been
kept, Dut only six previous months
have shown as great 4 total of liabili-
ties. Last months failures were 947 in
number. with liabilities amounting to
$23, I'll ISL, while a year ago the total
number was 5S1 and the liabilities
but So, S20,6S6. This is a decidedly un-
healthy showing, of which the review
fails to give any plausible explanation.
Failures to such an extent do not COM
port with the assertion of general pros
perity shouted from the housetops by
the political prophets, and while the
people are asked to accept their as
of universal prosperity, the
stubborn fact of 947 commercial fail
ures in the short space of one month
works decidedly against their accept
ance. And in addition to the number of
failures the amount involved is more
than six times as large as that of the
same period last yea
The truth is simply this, that the eff
fects of the present economic condi-
lions cannot be changed. The indus
trial combinations are making them
selves felt everywhere. One mercantile
firm after another is forced t. the wall.
Some of them have been hanging on
and straining their credit to the very
limit and beyond in the vain expecta-
ton of a change for the better. No
improvement of conditions came. how
ever, and finally they have been forced
to give up the struggle. 1t would have
been better for them had they done so
in the beginning when they found the
combinations allied against them.
: The passing of the small manufac-
turer and business man is an ire
parable loss to the country. His going
is simply a mark of the trend of the
times. Ultimately, unless conditions
change, the great middle class of mod
crate means-nurtured and cherished
in mnnarchia1 England-will be swept
away in republican America. to be sue
ceeded by the extremely rich and the
extremely poor.-Denver Post.

Getting Over the DimcuIty.

A lady had issued invitations for a
dinner of f2. and. on the morning of the
appointed day, when comforting with
her footman, she discoveredthat one of
the ~ silver shells in which scaIloped
oysters were to be served had been
misplaced. Rigid search for the miss
ing article having proved unavailing,
the lady decided that, sooner than give
up that course. she would simply de-
cline oysters when they were handed to
her, and so the II shells would be suf-
fcient. 1t happened that when the
oysters were served at dinner the hos:-
ess was engaged in a very animated
conversation with some of her neigh
bors, and, forgetting her determine
ton. she took one of the shells of oy-
sters and set it before herself. If the
servants heart fell in CONSERVATION at
this, he gave no external sign of it, but,
speaking in tones distinct though low,
said, respectfully: Excuse me, madam,
but you said I was to remind you that
the doctor forbade you eating OYSTERS"

Young Henry Tbaw.

The man who is creating the great
est furore in Paris at the exposition
is a young man named Henry Thaw,
of Pittsburgh. He has All interest in
the infant industry known as the
steel trust. He gave a dinner while
he was in Berlin at which he had
Scusa's band to play for the guests.
This cost him alone $500, while the
whole cost of the dinner was $4,000.
In Paris he gave another extraor-
binary entertainment for Mrs. Arthur
Paget. 1t is barely possible that
young Thaw ought - ave some Of
his money and make a contribution to
the republican campaign fund. or he
may find that the bottom has been
knocked ont of the industry whose
profits allow him to astonish the ma
tises. Illinois State Register.

the Carnegie company is taking an
important place in The meeting.

business arrangement than this.-Bal.
timore Sun.
Under the fair promises of this plat.
form is disguised the worst spirit OF
Imperialism. The people of this coun-
try would need to have an amazing de-
gree of confidence in the authors OF
these specious generalities to take the
platform builders at their word in pres
ence of the Porto Rican act-the first
measure in which they have defined
their unconstitutional and dangerous
pohcy.-Philadelphia Record.

has a sinister significance. 1t means
that there is 90 be no independence for
the Filipinos at any time in the future
under republican administrations;

Washington, and to be given only such
self-government as their imperial mas.

They are to be ruled by American poll
ticians, backed by the United States
troops.-Baltimore Sun.
1t looks very much like what it prob
ably is-the product of McKinley's
mind-dribbling through Postmaster
General Smiths pen, and then ripped
up the back by Foraker; 'chewed on
by Rosewater, Quigg, Gallinger and
others, and finally patched together by
Fairbanks and Davis. 1t is the one awk-
ward, clumsy product of a convention
organized with great system and car
ried out according to hat system with
a great deal of skill. Mr.. Mckinley
ought to have made the platform him

The president of the United
States to-day, inspired by men whose
greed for gold outweighs all consider
atoms of national or individual rights
seldom mentions the name of the
great emancipation and ignores all
men who have ever dared to asses
that the republican party does not
rule by divine right. We have had
some small men in the presidential
chair, and William Mckinley is not
to be classed among those who have
filed it.-Omaha World-Herad.

The Monroe Doctrine,

The declaration in the republican plat

party "steadfastly adheres to the policy
announced in the Monroe doctrine" is
manifeStly inSidiOuS and deceptive. This

and hold sovereignty over large areas OF
territory and large numbers OF people in
the eastern hemisphere.
