1t Is now several years since the

gan operating special tourist train
between Now York, Charleston and

though tho high wator mark must

Is woll nigh impossible to plan. Tho
train is composed entirely Of Pull
man cars, mado for this particular
service and vcstibuled, SO that
passengers pass freely from
one car to another, regardless
Of tho speed at which thoy arc travol-
ling and unaffected by wind or

kind, one dining car, whore tho
traveller partakcs Of his meals at
hours which suit his convenience and
whcro dcft walters servo the most

flying along tho stool roadway by q
competent chief. Tho end of tho
train is always occupied by the cob
scrvation car" 80 uniquely arranged
as to give u Wow almost unobstructed
Of tho scenery along tho limo Of tho
road. A drawing room car and a
library and smoking room are among
the advantages Of this movable hotol,
for it is moro like n first class hotol,
with every convonlonco and COM
fort, than anything else. But tho
number Of guests is limited strictly
TO tho number Of berth nccommo-
dations in tho magniticontly ap-
pointed "sleopcr," and there is no
fear of finding n fuvorite window

THE QUESTION OF CONSCIENCE.

EXMayor Hewitt deserves the highest COM
mendation for his statement about the ethics Of
corporate management. To him it seems not
merely a question of business shrewdness
whether a company should adjust its prices
as TO keep its works in operation If possible
but also a question of conscience Companies
controlled by him had for years continued work
al some present loss, he takes obvious pride in
saying, because il seemed duty to the thou
sands of men employed and to the families de-
pendent them. When the company knew
that it could recover some profit on the business
in the end, it felt under obligation not to stop
work, thereby involving needless loss to the
men and suffering TO their families There are
few who will not admit the obligation which
Mr.. Hewitt recognizes in his terse remark about
the question of conscience" involved, though
there are, unfortunately, more than few who
do not always let conscience vote in meetings
of directors.
The public does not yet know and perhaps
may never know. precisely where TO place re-
sponShty for the two contradictory orders
given by the Steel and Wire mana cement Mr.
Hewitt does not speak of the matter as if to
cpnsCre any individual. But the order to re-
dUce prices far enough To clear off an accumu-
lated surplus resulting from overproduction had
distinct meaning in morals. The order 10 stop

had different and contrary meaning 1t must
he assumed, all trade reports for some time
have admitted, that the distribution of nails to
consumers had been much diminished in conse-
quenre of the high prices demanded The mar

pany was evidently able to make n fair profit
with much lower prices To do this rather than
to close works and throw thousands out of en-

either Of the rider or driver or of any one whom
he may meet. \ more brilliant light, such as
will brightly illuminate the road for some dis
tance ahead, prevents the man behind it from
seeing anything in the comparative gloom at
the side. and is binding and bcwildering to
those who meet it. Indeed. not few bad acct
dents have occurred from the use of over
brilliant lamps on bicycles and carriages 1t is
question whether IT may not become neces-
sary TO require the use of bells upon some horse
vehicles. What with rubber tires and rubber
shoes. these now move almost as noiSelessly ms

in all other cases the rules of the road must be
such as are required by the safety of all who
use the road. And at present that safety Is

obligation with respect TO the men employed
Neither has a right without necessity to de-
prive them of the employment upon which their
livelihood depends The individual Is bound TO
consider, it is true. how far he can venture pos
sibe loss of private means upon which the EN-
ployment of all at last depends, and the corpora
ton is not less bound to consider its resources
and credits and its obligation to shareholders.
But when increased business can be secured
by reducing prices and without loss to the In
dividual or the corporation. there can hardly be
Il question as to the duty of either.
The decision to clear away the accumulated
surplus by reducing prices is of considerable
importance because of its influence upon the
whole iron and steel industry and upon the
fortunes of many other corporations which will
have to meet similar problems. II is the most
dangerous feature of concentrated management
with power over markets that ii always tempts
men to hold prices much above the minimum
that yields profit. Hundreds of corporations
have been wrecked by yielding to that tempta-
ton and holding prices high as to build up
fatal competition. The decision OF the Steel and
Wire company will render il more difficult for
other companies to pursue the course which it
has too tardily abandoned. and in all respects it
may prove n benefit to the new industrial de

Striking as these figures are, they do not give
any idea of the Indirect beneficent influence of
Christian missions as the forerunners of civil
iZatiOn. In no country is that more true than
in the continent of Africa, where to-day history
OF so large a scale is being made. The story of
what Christianity is doing in Africa has been
told in a most fascinating way by Frederic
Perry Noble in two comprehensive volumes re-
Gently published by the Fleming II. Revell Com
papy. His chronicle is really what he calls it,
"a story of civilization" and not even the most
hostile critic of missions will be able to read it
without being impressed by it. The Church of
Rome has nearly fifty dioceses in Africa and
more than thirty missionary societies. including
Capuchins, Domincans, FranciScans, Jesuits
Lazarists Marists white Fathers" and white
Sisters" The late Cardinal Lavgerie the
apostle of Roman Catholicism In Africa. and the
inspiration of his name is still potent factor
In the work.
But while giving full credit to the zeal and
devotion of the Roman missionaries, Mr.. Noble
does not think their principles and methods
wise. He critcises their practice of buying
Pagan children in order to Chrstianize them.
while admitting It's good intent, and he declares
that the Moslem is repealed by the ritualism of
the Church, while the Pagan is repeed by its
ceremonies and saints. Between 1854 and 1896
the Catholic population of Africa was increased
by 100000 and the Protestant by 100000
Professionalism makes a greater use of native
agency and the fact that its missionaries are
married is helpful TO it. Great stress is laid on
Industrial education in African missions and the
work of the missionaries in developing native
languages and literatures is of inestma BILE
value to civilization. The moral value of mis-
sions in Africa. aside from their purely eccle-
siastical results, is great. THE London Times
'lages in Central Africa that compare favorably
lin conduct with many English hamlets" The
Spectator says:
There genuine converts complete and
sincere as any made by the Apostles. Have
hostile critics ever known native church in
which there were not or two whom they
excepted from doubts or censures?
And in 1896 Mr.. Bryce confirmed Livingstone's
views in the following words:
Notwithstanding the slowness of progress the
extinction OF heathenism may be deemed certain
at distant date. There is nothing to dscour-
age the hope that Christian teaching NAV pre-
vail. The Gospel and the mission school are the
most truly ctvilizing influences which work upon
the natives Upon these influences more than
on any other agency depends the progress OF the
Coored race.
Viewed in the light of such achievements the

The Ecumenc:l Conference on Foreign Mis-
Sions, which so impressively opened in this
city yesterday, is in many respects one of the
most important religious gatherings of the pres
cnt generation. Foreign missions are sometimes
criticised, and. as in the case OF every other
great work, there is occasionally room for criti-
cSm as 10 the methods employed or the wisdom
and competency of individual missionaries sent
out to the foreign field. But true friend of
missions can object to such criticism as that
Indeed. it is largely to discover and discuss the
defects in the work that this great gathering
has been called from the four corners of the
world. The collective conscience of Christen-
dom is profoundly impressed with the need of
missions. not only to enlarge the area Of the
Christian faith, but to extend to heathen lands
the priceless benefits of the civilization that has
grown out Of the Christian faith. 1t sees that
great as have been the trlumphs of foreign mis-
sons they might ne and ought to he still
greater: and it has therefore assembled cOun-
ell of its representative leaders and its most
famous missionaries to talk the situation over
and out of a personal conference gain a larger
outlook and fresher inspiration for the prose
cution of the work in the future. That such
conference in the dawn of the new century
should be held in the metropolis of the New
World is happy augury Of the spirit that will
animate the delegates. With eyes turned hope
fully to the future. they will strive. so far as
possible to bring the missionary enterprises of
the churches into harmony with the needs and
ideas of present day Christianity without un-
necessarily Overturning the traditions of the
past
