THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

then they would grudge you tear from the faded eyes of the widow you had be- friended in hour of want and sorrow. Upon such as these you might lavish all your love and all the fruits of your struggling, and their need would be a sheer and a islander. If 1t would promote their pleas ure, they would steal from the heart of the childless mother the comfort of prayer. Yet the fools say there is no God. No God to punish the crime of selfishness? It is 8 lie!
 If you have thought of doing for your own good of loving for specific reward, don't do it You shall fail-fail misera- bly and hopelessly you shall vainly beat against the gates of hell closed upon you. In the world, my beloved there cannot come of selishness any worthiness, any re- ligion, any happiness, any secure place amongst good men and women! Selfish ness builds palaces; but they are abiding places of sin, uncleanliness, devils care, and all the jewels that flash there are but ruby lights leading to vice and destruc- tion.
 Those who set forth to do good with hope of reward apart from the conscious ness of duty done go upon fools errands which must end in bitterness and despair
 For honest goodheartedness and good deeds done without hope of pay there is abundant reward upon the earth. Some strong man, some good woman recognize the truth of it all, and they give their hands, maybe their hearts and good cheer, good comradeship, good helpfulness, and brighten the sequestered way of the good hearted They know and feel you; and, oh, transcendant joy of joys! they know and feel the guiding hand of God There are men and women who are not unpraying, and therefore not unloving in the higher and truer sense of love. Their hail is not their farewell, and their goodness is some thing more than cheap flowers grudingly given in the churchyards gloom.
 And young children believe and know and love and laugh-laugh for you as laugh the angels when the empyrean rings with the acclaim of good deeds done and good love loved in the world. Though one shall toll through heart-breaking trials, outrages and wrongs and expressions, there comes in the trust and greeting of little children greater glory than all the pomp and pride of triumphant emperors may show forth to mankind in the circumstance of power.
 The rippling laughter of a little child is of more worth than salute of a hundrel thousand guns to the great!

Robson on Sampson.

Lieutenant Hobson's defense of Samp- son, or rather his protest agains the treat ment accorded him by the public, is vari- ously viewed by the pressThe Selma ad- dress has been widely discussed, and scarcely any two papers look at it alike. All however Commend Hobson's courage, whether they admire his wisdom or not in reopening an old issue that cannot be deh- nitely settled.
 It is plain that Lieutenant Hobson has when he discusses in public the acts of two living officers, both of whom are on the active list of the navy. If such discus sions are to be permitted on the part of cliques will be multiplied in the navy, and discipline will be correspondingly lessened. In this respect Lieutenant Hobson has cer- tainly erred.
 He has probably made a mistake in not leaving to history an issue that contem- poraries canot agree upon. The reopening of the case by Lieutenant Hobson will not promote its solution. Only time and his- tory can solve it and do full justice to 1t. The naval battle off Santiago was in- tensely dramatic and historic. It was a map-maker, for the war with Spain col lapsed at once, and the colonies of that country were as good as transferred when the battle was finished. They were wrested from her on that far-away beach. History will say who did it, and one at this early day can say what history will say. It Is better, all things considered, to hand the entire subject over to history. Admiral Sampson may be III. but there are no frac- lures in his heart, as the romantic and sem timental hero of the Merrimac would have us believe. The hearts of sea dogs are not readily broken.

Elder OOwie's Faith Cure Concern.

Elder Dowie is in London, where he is becoming an international figure, and his history becomes therefore matter of inter- est He lives when at home at place which he calls Earthly zion," about forty miles from Chicago. He is "overseer' of Earthly Zion. He owns it. From membership of about 50000 zionists he has accumulated in his name a property worth at least $2,0O0OO0. It is his property. Real and per sonal, it stands in his name, and this gay deceiver may claim the entire outfit.
 The sect he has organized is faith cure concern. and he is the boss curer. He claims to have cured numerous cancers and like all one has to do according to Dowie, is to have faith-in Dowie, and he or she will be cured. If he or she be not cured, there has been of course a lack of faith-in Dowie.
 While Dowie is gathering in ten per cent of all property held by his followers, he tells them they must not eat swine meat" nor go to theatre, nor dance, nor drink corn juice, nor look on a horse race, nor roll quid of tobacco. All they have to do is to hand over ten per cent, and believe in Dowie in order to be cured in this world and saved in the next. But the weak point of the new faith Is, if they are to be eter- rally cured by Dowie in this world how are they to get to the next world in order to be 7 saved.
 Dowie is an imposter bred from the faith cure fad that has been current in the land several years. He Is practical and fnan- cial development of it. He has overseered millions into his own pocket Some esti- mate his holdings at $5,OOOOOO. He is a willy Seotchman by birth and it is to Amercas credit that he has remained a Scotchman. He has never become an American, and il is to be hoped he never will.

Last Days of the Campaign.

The bluff bet is this year supplemented by the bluff contract conditioned on the election of the Republican candidate for President The Hanna campaign bureau is working both lines at high pressure. It is working both simultaneously in these closing days of the campaign. While it piles up alleged odds in favor of Mckinley in bluff bets, it sends out news of gigantic alleged contracts based on McKineys elec- tion.
 And the trusts are lending themselves to this work. They are permitting their names to be used. They are giving out reports of tremendous contracts of this nature, add ing enough detail to make the reports and earth to re-elect MT. Mckinley and retain MT. Griggs of New Jersey in the Attorney Generals office, and mere stories of bogus contracts are the lesser incidents of their scandalous efforts for retaining control of the government.
 No one need be deceived by either bluff bets or bluff contracts, all of which come from the trusts via Hanna's bureau which is supported by the trusts for the trusts The Carnegie corcern which wants a $l5- 100000 armor plate contract, is taking a hand in announcing bogus contracts, and the rest will of course follow suit. Con- tracts for manufactured products are not based on election events. No such con tract was ever made by 6 business man or ever will be- A crank or two might en- ter into such a contract, but as a rule it can safely be set down that such alleged contracts exist in the desires of the trusts and the pressing necessities of the Hanna bureau only. They and the current bluff bets are erring brothers in an expiring and mendacious campaign.

Devoted att tachments, all-yielding loves. men and women who will fight your fights and make your cause their own; who will rejoice with you in your joy and abide with you when sorrow falls; who will call you broth CT, friend, lover, hero, and who shall ac- claim your virtues before the world who will give unto you the riches of their souls and by sheer force of devotion exalt you unto the seventh heaven of earthly happi- ness-none of these shall you know
 You may once in a while sit at the festal board when the wine brims and there is joy, and when love looks to love over you, behind you, before, all around you; but you shall owe your presence there to quail ties of your own which please, entertain, amuse or instruct not to real desire on the part of the merrymakers to increase your self-created store of pleasure. You who give most abundantly of your own love must look to yourselves for your own pleasure or happiness.
 You may be left shivering at the cross- ing of the ways whilst the pampered pets of pleasure go sweeping by in splendid train of riotous joy whose gliding is of your heart-wrought handiwork my be- loved; you may stand out in the cold and uncheerful night, and in hunger and in loneliness listen to the merry jest go round the burdened board of the banquet, and realize with some swelling emotion of grief that you with all your wealth of love and sunshine and charity for others are poor indeed in all but your own soul-riches. But you have ever within you something which neither train of pleasure nor the red wine and joy of the feast can steal from you, and that is the consciousness of having put away from you the devil of self!

to. extort this year from American rail- roads.
 The railroads must have rails, but the railroads possess monopolistie privileges also. and they refuse to pay from their own pockets to the plutocrats of seven mills s14,OOO0OO. They at once assess the sum upon the cotton farmer who has mace two or three bales in order to keep body and soul together, upon anybody and everybody who uses in any way foot of rails. be they old or new. The railroads are not suffering. They are not built that way. It is the consumer that is suffering. It is he who is on a crutch. The tariff, that sum of all villainies, levies upon him in a sly indirect manner thousand taxes, keeping him on crutehes in order that few may become plutocrats That is the idol that Mr. Bowron is endeavoring to set up in Alabama expecting all to fall down and worship it.
 He very carefully avoids any discussion of the cost of making rails in this coun- try, but the Age-Herald proposes to hold him to his self-fmposed missionary task. He shall not be permitted to stray to Sweden or to ferro-manganese. Rails, American rails, is the text, and this MT. Bowron must hereafter discuss.
 The villainy of the rail duty does not alone consist in its robbery of the weak and poor for the benefit of the strong and rich, but it consists also in a debauehery of the Republic, making it in very truth an oligarchy. Carnegie and his associates dictated the rail duty They put it in the Dingley bill. They proceed to collect mil lions upon millions under it from the masses who do not see what they are do- ing, and they pay portion of these mill lions into the slush fund of the period ln order to keep the party that made the tariff in power. The tariff rate, pool prices and campaign subscriptions complete the most astounding and villainous circuit that the world has ever witnessed. It and it's thousands of impish companions are filling the land with hopeless poor at one end of the line and with domineering plutocrats at the other end of it.

and the lot on which it is built; but is will ing to sell the house alone for $350O, provided it be removed; and the removal and setting up of it elsewhere would cost S2000 or 5000. The price may be all right; assume it is fair and just; but the entire proposition of some few Daughters of the Confederacy to purchase the property in any manner or in any condition is too ridiculous for serious consideration. I hear that Jefferson Davis slept in the house. which he personally hired, not exceeding three months, possibly not more than six weeks; and it was purely a private arrangement of his own. The so-called provisional government of the Confederacy which then existed had noth- ing to do with the white house; and it more an executive building than Is Governor Johnstons present boarding house in "lontgomery."
 Wasn't Carrie Bridewel at the Jefferson Theatre last night glorious in song? Wasn't that woman divine? Didn't she look the majestic empress of song and of women? Didn't her wondrous melody roll in superla- tive splendor and thrill with incomparable grace and power? Wasn't she nobly splen- did and dreamfuly sweet and tender? Did ever voice so beautiful sway idolators of harmony and of woman? Was ever there nobler presence upon any platform since women began to sing men to heavenly joys? Oh wonderful woman-oh, indescribable power of woman's genius to charm!
 And Mrs. Sinnige? sssuredly she was in- finiteiy charming in her rich and divine gift of song! How wonderfully full and powerful was the enthusiasm which she aroused!

THE POOR CLERGYMAN

From the Boston Herald.
 Bishop Fallow of Chicago makes the sug- gestion to a young multi-millionaire that he devote portion of his great wealth to a fund for the relief of the thousands of clergymen in and out of his denomination who are striving to exist and to rear fam flies upon salaries little better than the wages of the day laborer. They are fre- quently finely educated men, with intel lectual and cultivated tastes, doomed to life of toll and anxiety to obtain a bare liv- ing. A vivid picture of the lile of one of these in England is afforded in Anthony Trollope's novels, Bromley Parsonage and 'The Last Chronicle of Barset." No one who has read these will forget Mir Crowley of Hosglestock, and he has his counterparts in this country.

have now combined and have been enabled to float sufficient securities to put the equipment of both on a splendid basis. The earnings fully warrant the issue of seeuri- ties, and those who have invested or will invest have perfectly sound and safe se- curities. The success of the electric light plant has been due to its excellent man. agement and to the business-like conces- sions made to consumers. The street car lines are also giving Birmingham a good service. A few improvements are needed, but many have already been made. The pople are still asking for conductors on one or two of the lines yet without them, and some are asking for transfers. These things are promised. They can't come too soon.
 Speaking of improvements, the lawyers and others who visit the courthouse daily are entitled to look upon better-kept lawn than that which surrounds the magnificent building on Third avenue. A small invest ment in lawn mower and needed exercise for some of the prisoners in the jail might make this lawn more attractive. The Board of Revenue might aid in the mattor by small appropriation.
 Apropos of lawns, I want to congratulate the pound-keeper upon his several recent catches on South Highlands He has cor raled much cattle in that neighborhood re- gently, and thereby, possibly, increased his revenue. The residents of that section are hopeful that he will continue his activity.
 
 Judging from the reports in the newspa- pers. the national political outlook for the Democratic party is not so hopeful as it appeared a week ago. MT. Bryan has made a splendid campaign in the east and through the middle states. He has been enthusiastically received everywhere, but the betting is now four to one against his election. Of course, the bettors on elections are often wrong, but the gambler is usu-
