BRYAN. MOSES, PROMISED LAND.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 In a speech at Birmingham, Ala, a few days ago MT. Bryan likened himself to Aaron who assisted Moses in leading the children out of the wilderness" Mir Bryan said he was perfectly willing to St some other person take the part of Moses" As the orator quotes Scripture often in his speeches and lectures, we called his attention to the need of ac- curacy. It was Joshua who led the chill dren into the promised land after the era of Moses and Aaron, neither of whom ever set foot upon 1t or led their brethren thither. We said Moses never saw the promised land" A correspondent refers to the last chapter of Deuteronomy in proof that Moses visually beheld the bliss ful region, but it was under circum- stances that emphasize the point made against MT. Bryan that he ought to be looking for a Joshua instead of a Moses. By turning to Deuteronomy chapter xxxiv 1t will be observed that Moses went to the top of the Pisgah where the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead unto Dan, with other lands, including Juhad unto the utmost sea, and the plain of the valley of Jericho unto Zoar. And the Lord said unto Moses, as recorded in the fourth verse: This is the land, which 1 sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give 1t unto thy seed; l have caused thee to see 1t with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither." In viewing this broad perspective of many lands Moses was admonished that he should never go to the promised region, though his seed should enjoy it. Moses died at the age of 120, remaining In the land of Moab to the last. Unless MT Bryan Is talking for posterity he wants party Joshua instead of a Moses; and if he puts it on this ground there will be a promised land but no Democratic party.

Archbishop Corrigan's Successor.

'I do not think that either of the bishops of the province of New York will be translated to the archsee made vacant by the death of Archbishop Corrigan," said Catholic layman. I would not be surprised If one of the western arch bishops, either Archbishop Kain of St. Louis or Archbishop J. J.

Important Congressional Elections

The election this fall for 386 mem. bers of the lower house and of per. haps 20 Senators will foreshadow the result in Io04. President Roosevelt evidently so regards these elections, for he is to take the stump early in the campaign. Such a course is not wholly without precedent. President Johnson did it, and other presidents have made occasional addresses in the course of a campaign, but no one of them swung around the circle" excep. President Andy Johnson.

 but, oh, so potent something that is found wherever French rule for any length of time prevails.
 Apart from the lavish natural beauty around the town, there are not many
 points of especial interest in St. Pierre or it's vinicity. Excursions up the noun

 scarcely rest in peace if the roads run

 rendered fairly safe for even children to traverse. Two objects attesting the re- ligious fervor of the people of St. Pierre never fail to impress themselves on all who visit the town. One of these is the
 gigantic figure of Christ sculptured from white marble, standing on the heights to the north of the harbor, and the other Is the colossal white image of the Virgin
 on the peak of Morne d'Orange to the
 south. .H Probably the most imposing building in
 St. Pierre is the large cathedral, vIth its twin towers standing out with all the ex- quiste beauty of a cameo against the
 dark green background of the immense mountain and the carmine hue of the
 towns roofs More interesting, however, are the huge market places at either end of the town. the places where nearly all of the food supplies used by the inhabi- tants are bought and sold, where there is
 such display of tropical fish, fruits and flowers as can seldom be found anywhere else, and where half the population of
 the city always seems to be disporting itself. Such a crowd, such a chattering happy crowd. Here the wife of the

THE statements Of Prof. Charles

literature in the Northwestern uni
versity a Methodist institution at

Of excitement among the clergy Of
that denomination. He SAYS that
it IS M belief that biblical inta,-
libiiity IS a surers.itious and hurt
ful tradition and the biblical stories
Of Christ bringing The dead to lie
and Of his waking on the water
and feeding the multitude with tn.
loaves and fishes were mere poetic
tancies, incredible and untrue.
Professor Pearson might as we'll
pack his 5r.P ard get out. His
ideas az. too ma;er;ali,tic to tit the
orthodoxy he IN, been representing.

Of scientific works, to be bound

PANAMA or NICARAGUA.

The offer of the Panama canal
company to sell It's rights to the
government for SO, COO, and
the recommendation OF its accept
ancc by the commissioners who
have examined both the Panama
and Nicaragua routes, has thrown
the whole proposition into chaos
th- Nicaraguln ILL has already
u,-sed the house an4 Is now before
the senate, where it is meeting with
much opposition. The claims OF
those tavo-ing each route make it
difficult, 10 determine which would
the better. Both have advant-
ages.
The Nicaragua route is IS5 miles
long, the time Of transit for 4 YES
sci is estimated at s. hours, with
eight locks and maximum e,.va-
tion of 10 feet above sea level.
The estimated cost OF building is
$3.50, S6+, SCI. The commission
claims that it will cost 81, 500, 900
more every year to maintain the
Nicaragua than il will the Panama
In the matter OF harboTs the Mica
ragua route IS altogether wanting,
since natural harbors do not exist;
but it has a great advantage in the
fresh water lake, which is - miles
across and will be OF much value in
cleaning the bottoms Of vessels.
The Panama route is ~ miles in
length, has four sets Of locks, with
an elevation Of 90 feet and has con
siderable work done, estimated BY
the commission to be worth $40, :
900, 600, and il is claimed it can be
completed for SI44,233,558 This
would oe S5,o5o,7O+ less than the
cost OF the other route. The time
Of transi, would BE II hours and
II minutes, quite an advantage in
these days Of rapid transit. It IS
claimed that the Panama har5ors
are good and will require no great
expense to keep them in proper
shape.
Either route IS undoubtedly prac-
teal and the question to be decided
Is, which is the most feasible, all
things considered. In this state OF
