MORAL ADVANCE.

One OF the questions that occupy the
minds OF the thoughtful at the turn
Ing point OF the centuries is this Is
the moral progress proportlonate TO the
advancement On other directions? This
Is a most important question, The in
crease OF wealth the diffusion OF cul-
ture, the nouHshlng Of arts, are not by
themselves a sufficient guarantee for
the future. Civilizations have persisted
in past centuries and lie monuments
been buried under the dust Of ages, not
because the arts and sciences were
neglected but because the very life and
marrow OF the nations that were the
standard bearers. had become 80 af-
fectod by moral disease that they We're

ruEorEAS SUGAR BOUSrrEs.
Philadelphia Record.

Notwithstanding the Importance Of
this question to the tropical colonies
Of Great Britain, the British govern
ment did not take a very warm interest
In the Brussels sugar conference in 1895
This was probably because OF the small
prospect that the conferees would be
successful In their undertaking 20 bring
about the adjustment of the bounty
system The sugar bounties reduce. as
a matter OF course. the cost Of sugar
to the consumers IN importing countries
by the amount of the premium and the
British have the greatest per capita
consumption of sugar In the world. On
this account the planters OF Jamaica
have pleaded with the British govern
ment 10 impose a discriminating duty
upon the raw beet sugar Of bounty
paying countries, and at the same time
the yehners in London and Liverpool
have urged the government to save
them from the ruin Of this competition.
These are hard cases but the English
people have steadfastly refused 70 bend
their free-trade policy 10 meet them.

Dr. Prlnzng, a German writer, is
authority for the statement that the
experience Of insurance companies
proves that marriage has the tendency
Of prolonglng human life. One Of the
facts from which this conclusion is
drawn is that among the evangelical
clergy only IS per cent Of the expected
deaths occur. while the percentage
among the Catholic clergy is 112, The
latter are more free from care, yet
they are more generally subject to
diseases Of the organs OF circulation,
and this, 1t is said, is due TO the pc
culiar habits Of life for which celibacy
IS responsible.
