One OF the most extraordinary tales

foreigners was the "spIashing house"

writer in the paper gravely informed
his readers that in the suburbs of Lon

houses men were accustomed to resort

These curious establishments are
provided with muds of different coun-
ties, but principally of those counties
where the hunting is best. The sale OF
the mud is conducted in the most Sc
rious manner imaginable: the attend
ant inquiries, From what county, sir,
to you wish it to he supposed you have
just returned" From the county of
Kent The pretended sportsman there
upon takes seat on a wooden horse
whose legs throw up the selected mud;
after having been well splashed the
customer pays his bin q shillingsl,
casts an eye of appreciation toward the
mirror, takes whip in his hand and
goes to exhibit his muddy clothes in
Piccadilly. Bond street or Pail Mall,
in order that it may be supposed that
he has just returned from grand

In addition to the chance of marry
ing an heiress which this remarkable
display of dirty clothes confers on
their wearer, says the French news
paper man, the patron of the splash

date advantage. The mud with
which he is splashed affords, if not
proof, strong presumptive evidence
that he is landed proprietor in the
county whose mud bespatters him"
And landed propriet0rs being held in
vast esteem as solvent and desirable
creditors, the man can obtain anything
he likes at any shop on credit.

RELIGION AND PROSPERITY.

The question. rs Prosperity Bad for
Rellgion?" IS discussed in the Chicago
Tribune and, we are glad to note, is
answered in the negative. 1t would
be trying situation if every step in
national progress were equivalent to
backward step in religion If such
were the case, the prayers of the
pious would be for a decrease rather
than an increase in the nations
wealth. And if these supplications
were favorably considered, the reli-
gious elements, when Thanksgiving
Day arrived, would assemble in their
respective places of worship and de-
voutly thank the Ruler of the Universe
that he had been graciously pleased
to stop the accumulation of filthy lucre
and give us plenteous outpourings of
poverty.
1t happened recently that the New
York Tribune stated, and the Financial
Review approvingly repeated, the
statement that "the old saying that
prosperity is bad for religions seems
to be borne out in the year just
closed" The Chicago Tribune COM
bats the pessimistic conclusion with a
robust array of figures of the kind
that are warranted not to lie. For ex-
ample, our Chicago contemporary
asserts that since July /, on which date
the largest edition of Bibles ON record
was printed by Chicago Bible pub

able to fill its orders, and is today over

Army OFFICERS.

There is a popular fallacy that the
graduates of the military academy at
West Point dominate the army, and
that officers who entered the service
from the volunteers or won promotion
from the ranks are subjected to perse-
cution and compelled to take a back
seat by the ''West Point clique"
General Miles was not graduated at
West Point nor at any other college.
In fact his irritability is often attrib
uted to his ''shortness'' in education
He came up step by step, rising from
second lieutenant of volunteers in the
civil war to the lieutenant generalship
of the army. His successor is to be,
according to semi-official report,
General Young, who entered the volun-
teer service as a private in 1861 He
became the colonel of his regiment
from Pennsylvania-durin the civil
war, and he was mustered out of the
volunteer service as a brevet brigadier
general and commissioned a captain in
the regular service. In the war with
Spain he was made brigadier general
and soon afterwards was sent to the
Philippines. where he commanded the
cavalry, and conducted a daring and
successful campaign. When he came
back from the Philippines he was
made major general, and president
of the army war college.
Adjutant General Corbin is not a
graduate of West Point; neither is any

Ihe ANTS Toilet.

A naturalist has been making OBJ
scrvations on the toilets of certain ants,
and has discovered that each insect
goes through most elaborate ablutions.
They are not only performed by her
self, but by another, who acts for the
time as lady's maid. The assistant
starts by washing the face of her COM
panion, and then goes over the whole
body. The attitude of the ant that is
being washed is one of intense salts
faction She lies down with all her
limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls
over on her side, even her back, a per-
feet picture of ease. The pleasure the
little insect evinces in being thus
combed and sponged is really enjoya-

10000 copies behind it's sales. An
other edition of like number with the
first, now on the presses, will be con-
sumed by the trade by December 1.
The Tribune says that never before
has a Chicago publisher sold over
$4,000 copies of the Bible in year,
while the sales of this one house have
been three times that number in six
months. Our contemporary adds:
There is no reason to suppose that
what is true in one city as to Bible
sales is not true of all others, for
while Chicago is always a righteous
city, it is not any more so than the
other cities of the plain This does
not look as if prosperity were bad for
religion If prosperity is bad for
religion how comes it that the Meth
odist denomination during the last
twelve months in this country, Canada
and England has raised $23,850 900;
the Canadian Presbyterians $1,4300 900!
the English Congregationalists $3.312,-
O00 and the English Baptists $780,
900? There are several other denOm-
nations yet to be heard from. for at
the beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury various denominations resolved
to make vigorous effort to establish
what they called a Jubilee fund 1t
is now expected that by the close of
this year the aggregate fund will reach
$75 ,000,0 900 1t is to be remembered
also that the collection of this great
fund has not in any way interfered
with the regular church collections for
running expenses. This does not look
as if prosperity were bad for religion" !"
On the other hand. it looks as if it
were an excellent thing for religion.
Religion is not only good for adyersity,
but t11rives we'll in prosperity
That conclusion is true although
there are kinds of wickedness which
prosperity promotes. 1t is an indu-
bitable fact that in times of great in
dustrial activity the increased demand
for labor augments the number of
children in the factories and sweat
shops in the big cities. AS to individ-
ual morality. the effects of great wealth
and extreme poverty are about a
stand-off.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

Now that the election is practically
over. it is in order to ask, is Demo-
cratic majority in the next House OF
Representatives desirable from party
point of view?
Most Democrats unhesitatingly say
yes. Their reasoning is that contest
between the two parties is continuing
battle for supremacy. AS a vantage
ground from which to open the Presi-
Dental campaign, they urge that con-
troll of the next House is most desir-
able
There is something in this view,
though the policy of the party as to
trusts. tariff reform, etc., can as well
be defined in a caucus measure or in
speeches made or amendments offered
by a minority as in bill passed by a
minority only to be smothered in the
Senate which is hopelessly Republi-
can.
From the party point of view, failure
to carry the House would have this
compensation: 1t would leave the
sole responsibility for whatever may
be done or left undone next year and
in the winter and spring of 1904 wholly
upon the Republicans. If the next
House shall be Democratic, any record
of extravaganza, any failure to reduce
taxation or to curb the trusts, and any
other sins of omission or commission,
will be accompanied with a divided re-
sponsibility The Democrats would
have no chance to do anything, with a
Republican Senate and President, and
yet their control of legislative initiative
and Of the purse-strings would leave
them in the unfortunate position of a
party with partial responsibility but
with no power.
An incidental advantage to the Dem
ocrats in a very small Republican ma
iority in the House would come from
the almost certain rupture of that
party, on so close vote, upon the
tariff and trust questions. The re-
volt in Iowa and other western States
against a perpetual combined Dingley-
ism and Morganeering-high tariffs
and protected trusts-wOuld prove too
strong for party discipline with only
a bare majority. Republican division
would mean Democratic success in
1904.
So much for the partisan aspects.
On the higher and broader ground Of
the country's good. a Democratic ma,
jority in the next House could un-
doubtedly stop, If it were unitedly and
wisely led, many schemes for partisan
aggrandizement and public plunder,

OPEN THE DOORS.

Mr.. Hoar. Republican Senator from
Massachusetts, says that the great evil
in trusts is that they destroy compe-
tition. Just so.
The Democrats propose to cure that
evil by admitting, free of duty, the
articles manufactured by the trusts,
and thus open competition. To this
the Republicans say no! To meet
this proposition of the Democrats, the
Republicans raise their great "buga-
boo of free trade.
Yes, when American capital COM
bines to artifcially raise prices, COM
bines to break down any competition
in America, then the Democrats do
say: Meet the combination by re-
storing a competition the trusts can
not break down and destroy"
If that is free trade, we'll and good.
The Democrats speak for the people.
The Republicans speak for the trusts.
The people have a right to demand
competition, and if trusts shut out
competition in America then the Dem
ocrats say open the doors!"
