UP At AUCTION.

TITS an unpoetic and an unfeeling-a age,
this of ours Traditions however sacred,
memories however inspiring, are with us
but fleeing and intangible things, bear
ing no relation whatever to the aims to
which human endeavor is directed.
All things of value have their price,
and, relatively and absolutely their value
is attested by the money price they
represent. The crown jewels are. valuable
not because of the history. or tradition
attending them, but because put up at
auction they would demonstrate that
their commercial value is still greater. The
beauties of nature are every day and
everywhere being laid low by the despoi1-
ing hand of the pioneer of material civil
ization Whether here or elsewhere, land
IS worth it's productive value, no matter
what deeds of heroism center around it or
what a long vista of valor or devotion
the lives of those identified with it may
present to the mind.
But a few months ago that one beauty
spot of creation, the Lakes of Killarney,
were under the auctioneer's hammer. 1t
mattered not that here the warrior
O'Donoghues maintained their fortress
impregnable to the attacks of. all enemies
save time alone, or that here it was that
Moore found the Inspiration for his beau
tiful invocation to Sweet Innisfail or
that for ages and generations unnumnerea
man has stood and called across its beau
tiful waters only to hear his voice re-
turn to him with almost superhuman dis
tinctness through the wonderful echo
of the Eagles Nest. The auctioneer's
hammer fell in vain, and KfIlarney's hills
and dells went begging for buyer.
And now the cable flashes to us the news
that Tara's Hill and Tara's Halls, that
home of Irish royalty, that glorious theme
of the patriots period and of the poets
song is numbered with Killarney among
the unavailable assets of the Green Isle.
A beggarly $4,000 was all that was offer
ed for its ownership. It's glories have,
indeed, long departed. Well might Moore
have sung his sad lament over the de-
serted home of Irish music and valor:

heavy charges as those which have pre-
vailed. 1t was a discreet and conserva-
tive statement, and one which is entitled
to much weight coming from such a
source
While we may accept it as true that
the prevailing cable rates are indispen-
sable to the realization of a reasonable
profit on the capital and labor 1nvolv-
ed it must be said that the penefi-

But the. new electrical genius who has

that all this is about to be changed. He
has established electrical communication
between the two continents without the
aid Of wires or other material substance.
He believes that his invention has al

that the invention, so far as his knowl-
edge enables him to judge, will realize
the expressed expectations of its author.
So that. as Mr.. Marconi suggests. the
use of the long distance telegraph over
land and water alike, is about to be
brought within the reach of society, and
will no longer be confined to the use
of those who can pay enormous sums

ply.
The mind stops short in the effort to
realize the vast consequence which may
follow from such an invention brought
into general and inexpensive use, in the
direction of annihilating time and space
and in destroying the artificial barriers
which now divide the several divisions

CHRISTMiS.

MAN shall not live by bread alone"
Midst the plenty of life, beneath the jew
eed crown, wrapped in purple robes,
surrounded by pomp and splendor, the
soul may starve and the heart may shriv-
ell: within the hovel of honest poverty,
condemned to a life of toil-a constant
strife for physical existence-the heart
may swell with human sympathy and
the soul may feast. It is love and char
ity, not power and safety that brings
happiness. Christmas not only comment
grated the birth of Christ but also the
Inauguration of a new ethical code. The
earth shall be governed not by force,
but by love, not by greed but by char
ity; the brotherhood of man shall be
established; caste shall disappear, the
honest poor. shall partake of the good
of the earth and the widow and the
fatherless shall not weep: hatred and
strife shall disappear and the clouds of
war shall no longer obscure. the sun.
For advocating this system of ethics
the Goldman was crucifed, but the race
was almost ready for the code of peace.
Although his purpose has been perverted,
although force and crime have fiourished
in his name, although the principles Of
peace and liberty for which he died have
been twisted into engines of war and OPP

have forgot their feuds; enemies have
become reconciled; charity has walked
forth open-handed from the palaces of

TIE PARrr,s OPPORTUNITY

When President Roosevelt announced
that the policy of his deceased prede-
cessor would be followed by him, and
asked the then members of the cabinet
to remain in Office the country under
stood that the line of action was pursued
in great measure as an express
sion of tie favor with which
that policy was regarded by the
business interests of the country, and
of the horror with which its authors
murder was regarded by the entire conn
| try. Apart from all other considerations
the announcement was an excellent
stroke of politics for the present execu-
tive, and removed any doubt which might
be entertained by the business COM
munity of the stability Of existing condi-
lions under his control
No one then seriously thought that the
existing cabinet would long remain intact;
and the signs of disintegration which
have been presented to view for some
time past, and which are being verified
by the probable successive withdrawals
OF the several cabinet officers were an
Inevitable outcome of the progress of
time and events.
It is quite plain that President Roose-
welt will not seek to recommend himself
to the country by following in the exact
footsteps of his predecessor. He is a
man of too much force of character to
be expected to occupy such a position.
He will proceed along strictly party lines
without doubt, and there is no reason to
believe that there will be any essential
departure from the party programme
But in the details of administration of
national affairs, in the influences con-
trolling his appointments and in the per-
sonality of his appointees, he is certain
to establish a wide departure from the
| recognized rules of conduct of Mckinley
Not only the cabinet, but also the kitchen
cabinet, of the Republican president, is
certain TO be radically reorganized.
We are seeing the beginning of the
| end. What the end will be no man may
safely essay a prophecy. The Hanna

dent, the Fairbanks Beveridge incident,
are all straws upon the currents of Re-
| publican national politics They show,
however, only the general direction of
