THE APOSTLE OF CANT.

Would It be gliding refined gold and
painting the lily to say that President
Mckinley is the Apostle Of Cant
meaning by that cam in its most Of
fensive term, the Shiny, sliddery cant
that disgusts honest men? In none
Of the nantes Of cant does Mr.. Nc
Kinley appear to worse advantage than
when posing at missionary meetings,
q at ocean Grove during the past
summer, and as he will appear at Car
negie hall. April 20. before represent
atives Of missionary societies at work
in all countries, from Greenland's icy
mountains to midas burning strand.
AS the vast congregation stands up to
sing Bishop Heber's immortal mission
airy hymn, which long ago burst
through ~sectarian lines and became
the possession Of all Christian people,
we wonder what burning thoughts will
flash through Mr.. McKinley's mind at
the words
Shall we whose souls are lighted,
With wisdom from on high,
Shall We to men benighted.
The lamp of life deny?"
viii the Apostle of Cant think at
that moment of the blotches Of blood
and the foul stains of crime which
he has draggled over the annals of
the republic founded by our fathers,
a light to enlighten the world with
liberty, and the glory of godly people?
We think not. On the contrary, we
feel assured, that after the singing of
the hymn is over, President Mckinley
will arise and shuttle off a choice col
lection of truisms from his book Of
canting phrases, ending with a phon-
Ographical selection of elevated senti-
ments like those he voices before
every one of his mean and shutting
acts.-Newark IN. j. Ledger.

Senator Hoar's great speech in the
Senate Tuesday will be widely read
and discussed, but it is doubtful if it
will arrest the Senator's party in its
progress toward avowed Imperialism.
Said the senator:
Perseverance in the present policy
will be the abandonment of the prin-
ciples upon which our government is
founded; it will change III republic
into an empire; our methods of legis-
lation, of diplomacy, of administration
must hereafter be those which belong
to empires and not those which be-
long to republics"
Why does the Massachusetts, states
men continue to support a party which
is bent on running the country? He
declares that nothing can be accom-
plished save through the Republican
party, the policy of which he de-
nounces as that of Aaron Burr.
1t is a curious example OF the power
Of tradition and a party name. George
F. Hoar, in point Of learning, charac-
ter and public service, stands at the
very head of American public men.
But, in spite Of his convictions, party
spirit controls him. Washington's
warning can have little weight with
ordinary politicians when men like
Hoar disregard it.-St. Louis Post

saved from Dashine Against q Ra,a
in p storm.
Capt. Henriksen Of the Norwegian
steamer Penan, on reaching Philadel-
phia after a recent voyage, told a re-
porter Of a Philadelphia exchange the
following remarkable story: we
loaded coal at Cape Breton, one Of the
widest and most lnhospitable spots IN
North America, and on Jan. "a weighed
anchor and steamed slowly out TO sea
IN the face Of weather conditions
which, to say the least. we're alarming.
That night the gale Increased until It
blew at the rate Of sixty miles an hour.
It's direction changed also, to make
matters worse. and blew on shore.
This part Of the Atlantic coast has
been but %lmperfectly surveyed, ana al
most as soon as night closed in we
were In doubt as to our exact location.
The lead was cast for several hours
and varying depths were recorded. To-
ward eight bells we we're in seventy
fathoms with ample room under the
keel, and as we seemed to be on the
shoals, the speed was increased. While
moving along at an eight-knot speed
on a purse west by southwest, and
with the assurance that the land was
no o to oppose us, the man on the
lookout forward suddenly heard a con
fusion of sounds resembling the hum-
ming Of millions Of bees. The Roadway
of the vessel was at once checked, and
then the noise resolved itself into the
voices Of birds. 1t was an immense
volume Of chipping and rustling wings,
which could be distinctly heard above
the roar of the storm. In the SUCCEED
ing moments of fear and doubt the
Panan was allowed to drift, while we
sought anxiously to pierce the intense
gloom Of the night. Then the motion
became easier and the anchor was
dropped. When morning broke an as
tonishing spectacle greeted us. Scarce
ly a quarter of a mile away was an i'm
mense towering rock, which, had tho
vessel struck it, would have dashed her
to fragments In an instant. Stranger
tina all, the vast granite pile was in
habited by myriads of white birds,
which reposed on it's pinnacles and
huttered about the lonely apex. It was
their warning cries, resounding
through the night, which had saved the
steamer" One of the sailors would
tried a shot at them, but the
captain would not permit it, simply as
a matter Of sentiment. He recognized
the birds as a species which frequent

PoIson-TIppea Arrow Hesas.

Two chemists Of the University of
Edinburgh have analysed the stuff
used in Africa as a poison for arrow
heads and which never yet has been
examined chemically. This poison is
extracted by boiling the roots and
stems of a plant called asocanthora
shimperi, and the poison is named aso-
e%antherin. The plant belongs to a fam
lily of poison plants called apocynum,
to which belong the oleander. stro-
phantes, dog cabbage and many other
varieties, The action Of the arrow
head poison is powerful to an extra
ordinary degree, and Immediately az
fects the heart, which in strong doses
1t quickly paralyzes. The chemists
experimental in inoeulating animals
with the juice, and noticed that even
when the heart became paralyzed the
action Of the lungs continued a little
while longer. The poison, therefore.
affects the muscles, but not the nerves.

The reclamation of the Democratic
party by the people, and it's new bap-
tism in the faith of the fathers drove
the money kings and corporations, to-
gether with their agents and attor-
neys, into the Hannaite camp. They
carried with them a large number of
voters, mostly residents of cities who
were influenced by the rawlings of the
subsidized commercial press. But
Notwithstanding this Democratic can
didates polled a million more votes
than were ever cast for any candidate
at a preceding election.
-Four years have passed during
which time the scenes have been var
led and shifting, presenting new and
%alluring temptations. But the regen-
Grated Democracy has stood ~steadfast
through all and today the people are
in absolute control of the party with
their sentinels upon its outer battle
ments challenging the foes of popular
government and successfully main
tanning the integrity of their organi-
cation against the assaults of open
and concealed foes. They stand stead
fast for all that they represented in
1896 and without a break in their
ranks interpret with one voice the new
issues that have been presented by
the application to them of the funda-
mental principles upon which the gov
eminent is founded.-National Watch

A pair that is without precedent in
the memory Of this generation Of leg
islators was made on the vote for the
Porto. Rican bin in the senate. It
is a venerable joke that a constituent
once wrote to his member Of congress
that he was grieved to observe by the
Record that he had been pairing with
some n of the opposite party. IF
you must pair" wrote the constituent.
" and l suppose you cannot always
be present to vote, can't you do It with
some good nan in our W party ,"
That kind Of pair is cast in the shade
by the arrangement which Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, and Senator
MeEnery Of Louisiana made. One is
a Republican, the other is a gold Dem
oerat. Each left his party on this
issue Republicans generaGiy &tsa ~.
and Democrats against the bill. Hoar
was paired against the iii with Nc
Emery, who would, otherwise. have
voted for the bill. Each was paired
against his party.

Il Is all a part Of the administra-

A FAMOUS ARTIST.

The death in New York on the 7th
inst. of Frederic r. Church removed
one of the most famous of American
artists. Mr.. Church was "A years old.
He was born in Hartford, Conn, and
early evinced a talent for drawing.
When a young man he became a pupil
Of Thomas Cole at Catskill, N. Y,
where he painted his first pictures.
He later removed to New York and in
1S49 was elected a member of the Ma
tional Academy. In 1853 and 1857 he
was in South Africa and there he gath
cred much material for later paintings.
He was also a member of an expedi-
tim to the coast of Labrador. where
he obtained the idea for his great
painting, "Icebergs." This painting
was exhibited throughout the United
Ststes and Europe and It's marvellous
colorings everywhere attracted atten-
ton and favorable comment. Nj.

movement is known as the Finnish In

is to be built in Ashtabula and as soon
as ministers are graduated several
churches will be erected. Rev. viii
