tionalist, Malcolm by name, Is dissatis-
fed with the churches. They have
made ''large enrollments," be says,

the fact that war still exists, '%'enthrou-
ing a commercialism more destructive
to manhood and a more subtle and
dangerous foe to morals and spirituality

arenas Of pagan Rome.
BY recommendation" Mr.. Malcolm
probably mean the exercise Of that in
eradcable instinct 10 human nature
which stimulates man to get all he can
Of the necessaries aud Injuries Of life
for himself and those near and dear to

find satisfaction unless mar possesses
the power TO satisfy il, and that power
implies the nss Of eisbef pnysIcaI roroe,
In les. civilized communities, or mental
force and canning. So long as that
instinct remains 10 human nature there
must be war-the war Of lyddite shells
aud the war Of cut-throat competition.
"If," says a writer in the Chicago
Journal, "by the regeneration Of the
human heart Mr. Malcolm means the
eradication Of the instinct TO get food
and clothing and Injuries, he is un-
questionably right in bis assertion that
the churches have achieved small
success Though for almost 1900
years mankind has been instructed In
the gospel Of unsel6shness, 1t is q re-
gretable fact that mankind in general

rHE sEPARATE COACH LAW.

HE SEfAhAlb NUANH LAW
At least one bill has been introduced
IN the legislature that Il majority Of the
people Of Lafayette county, aud We be-
lieve Of Missouri, would be glad to see
become a law. 1t provides that the
rHilroAd companies shall provide sePA-
rate coaches on their passenger trains
for the whites and negroes.
Such 4 law 10 In force In several
southern states ard has proven very
Satisfactory. Though it may sPPssr
70 be = discrimination between the
races, and undoubtedly Is, We believe
II TO be 4 wise and just discrimination.

the negro a. for the white man. As n

ArmOur's Best Legaey.

From the Hsw York Journal.
The life and work Of the great pork
packer are ended. During his life
some things we're criticised and ought
to be criticised.
We think today only of that which
can be praised.
OF all that be left behind him, vast
stock yards, the great organization Of
industry, the ideas aud hopes, nothing
IN our opinion Is so impressive as a
sentence Of twenty-four words, ex-
pressing his views on the marriage
question. We hope every young man
will read them carefully and believe
them:
"Tbe young man who wants to
marry happily should pick out a good
mother and marry one Of her daugh-
ters-any one will do"
This piece Of advice from a hard
headed, self made man, IL properly
appreciated, will do more good to the
country than all his money, had he
left it to charity, could possibly have
done.

when you are in love with the daughter.
You can not possibly Judge the

ALFRED AUSTIN, England's poet
laureate, publishes a long memorial
poem entitled "Queen Victoria, in
which he traces her life and describes
her character. Here are some typical
verses:
Queen, empress, more than empress than
queen,
The lady of the world on high enthroned,
BY right divine of duties well fulfilled,
To be the pattern to all queens, all kings,
All women, and the conscience of men
Who look on duty as mans only right.
And long aed late this happy season wore
This mellow, gracious autumn of her days;
This sweet, grave Indian summer, till we grew
To deem it lmitlesS and half forgot
Mortality S decree, and now there falls
sudden sadness on ourliveS, and we
Can only bow discOnSolate heads and weep,
And look out from our lonely hearthS and see
The homeless drifting of the winter mist.
And hear the requiem OF the winter wind.
The reason of the worldwide feel
ing of personal esteem for the late
Queen Victoria, which was manifested
during her last sickness, was well
stated by Tennyson:
Her court was pure, her life serene:
God gave her peace, her land repoSed:
A thousand claims to reverence closed
In her as mother, wife and queen.

NOT rsE REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT

Springfield. Mass Republican.
Mr.. Hoar's proViso to the army bill
was laid on the table in the SEN
ate by the votes of those of his
own party. Only one democrat voted
with the republicans-Morgan, of
Alabama, who has trained with the
administration in this business from
the outset. The support OF the pro-
viso was confined to the democrats
and populists, with the exception of
Mr.. Hoar himself, Mr.. Hale, of Maine.
and Mr.. Wellington, of Maryland.
The administration senator's are
not merely opposed to comforting with
the leaders of the Instruction. They
want to hear nothing from the people
there who are not in arms when they
come with petitions, appealing in the
name of Washington and Lincoln, and
to the traditions of the American re-
public for a consfderatien of their case
in the light of all that we have said
and done and been up to in the time
of this criminal aggression.

old people made young.

j. G. Sherman. the veteran editor
of the Vermontville (Mich. Echo, has
discovered the remarkable secret of
keeping old people young. For years
he has avoided nervousness, sleep
lessness, Indigestion, heart trouble,
constipation and rheumatism, by
using Electric Bitters, and he writes:
"It can't be praised too highly. 1t
gently stimulates the kidneys, tones
the stomach, aids digestion, and gives
a splendid appetite. 1t has worked
wonders for my wife and me. It's a
marvellous remedy for old peoples
complaints. Only so cents at Hartz
