Religious Redemption of the City.
The Political redemption of the city atths
recent election, when a surprisingly heavy
vote for good government was cast in the very
districts where it was least expected, has
inspired the Federation of Churches to hold
a conference for the purpose of bringing about
a union of religious forces that shall effect
the religious redemption of the city. This
conference is on this week in the Broadway
Tabernacle The subject is discussed in
scientific manner, with addresses. on every
aspect of the problem, and its solution by
eminent representatives of the different de-
nominations The program includes elaborate
statistics, giving the conditions of the work.

ton, and J. F. Jackson, of the Charity Or
ganization Society. from the standpoint of
charities. This evening 'The City as an OPP
portunity" was discussed by Rev. J. H. Deni
son, Professor Truman ]. Backus and Robert
E. Speer. 1t is needless to say that this
conference is one OF large interest, and of
possible large benefit to the CITY, DR.. Cad
man complained that the press would give
more attention to a convention Of brewers
than to this conference, but that is hardly
fair Let it be demonstrated that the con-
ference means something more than talk, and
the press will give it all the. support that
could be desired DR.. Schauffler said that OF
the six leading Protestant denominations on
Manhattan island, the only one that had made
an advance in the last ten years was the
Episcopal church, and it's advance is due to
the fact that it early woke UP to the nature OF
the problem that confronts the churches in
the cities, and had worked accordingly. It's
expenditures were four times as large as
those Of the Presbyterians Dr. Cadman,@ in
an eloquent address, pleaded for closer union
among the churches, and higher note OF
authority in the pulpit. In the course Of his
remarks, he suggested that Andrew Carnegie,
having given five millions for libraries, should
now give like amount to endow the work OF
the churches.

THE SPELLING SCHOOL
BY C. B. Leuis

Copyright, 1862, by tho s. s. Mcclure Co.
When the school board of district No. 5,
which melted the hamlet Of Bebee's Cor
ners announced that they had engaged a
schoolma'am for the winter term instead Of
schoolmaster, there was much wondering
among the farmhouses as to how she would
manage things, For three successive win
ters the schoolmaster had been thrashed by
a gang Of boys. led by hulking Joe Whitman,
and folks predicted that the new teacher
would be picked up, carried out and dropped
into snOWdrift the first day.
Seth Thomas, young farmer, drove over
to- the railroad station to meet Miss Baker
when her school was ready to open, and his
surprise was reflected on all Sides She was
slip Of girl, less than 20 years old aud
shy, and this was her first school. She had
taken it because her mother was an invalid
and her father had failed in business, but that
came out afterward. That good looking,
refined young woman like Miss Baker should
take a country school at $25 month in
stead of getting married was mystery no
one could solve.
Seth Thomas was 90 years old, and he also
was shy. During the three-mile drive the
pair did not exchange hundred words. Seth

ever a cheerful newsgiyer, plunged into the
subject and talked at length, looking into
books and making notes as he chatted. The
minutes flew and the dusk creDt on. There
was a pipe to be lighted, and finally the gas.
After a while, when the conversation lulled,
a clock chimed outs! The reverend doctor
reached for his watch. In an instant he
tossed his dressing gown aside, grasped a coat
and hat and was away, leaving the reporter
speechless. Then a feminine. voice spoke:
"Mr Mann should have been in church ten

Paris, who have appealed in vain to him for

acter during the last thirty years.

has been something more than mere empty
title. For he has certainly been treated in
the official and diplomatic world at Paris as
the representative OF great power rather

REVENUE REDUCTION AND TARIFF

The action of the house ways and means
committee yesterday, instructing Chair
man Payne to report a bill repeating all
the Spanish war revenue taxes except that
on mixed flour, excepted because 1t was
designed to be permanent in the interest
of pure food, is clearly designed to pre-
vent any concessions to Cuban products
and any reduction of the tariff in other
directions.
1t is not unjust to the committee to
| make this assertion, for the members
have talked in that direction for some
time. In taking such action they prob
ably are aware that as the proposed re-
ductiOn will amount to nearly $50, 100000,
there will be comparatively little left/of
the surplus for the purposes of the ship
canal, the ship subsidy, irrigation and
other large expenditures now in contem-
plation. The hearings before the ways
and means committee have not developed
an iota of proof of substantial character
that reducing rates on Cuban products
would effect serious injury, if any, to the
American sugar and tobacco Industries.
1t has been shown that such concessions
would not change the price Of refined
sugar and the profits therefore would be
the same. 1t was demonstrated that the
objection that American labor would be
brought into competition with cheap for
eign labor is grOundless, as the most Or
binary laborer in the Cuban cane fields
gets from 1923 to 25 month, quite as
much as the Louisiana sugar plantation
| laborer receives. No proof was given
| that the sugar trust had bought up i'm
| mense tracts of Cuban land and secured
all this years crop of sugar.
The objection that congress cannot pass
| special tariff act for Cuba without vio-
lating the most favored nation clause in
| the treaties with other countries, is met
by the fact that our government has al
ways construed such clause as permitting
! special commercial concessions to coun-
try which are not gratuitous but are CIV
| en- in return for equivalent concessions to
which no other country is entitled unless
a similar equivalent is rendered.
1t is to be regretted that the house ways
| and means committee shows such a strong
disposition to prevent the rehabilitation
| OF Cuba by opening our markets to her
| chief products by tariff concessions, and,
not only stimulating the insular prosper
| ity, but bringing the whole Cuban market
under our control for our food products,
agricultural macninery, railway supplies,
| textiles and other of our manufactured
products. American producers and manu-
facturers would, through preferential
duty given by Cuba, reap large advantage
! through the sale of more than one hun
dred articles OF American origin. And not
| an American industry would be ruined"

WE NEED CANADIAN WHEAT

Attention is called to the growth Of the
Canadian grain trade by the presence in
Minneapolis Of a Port Arthur gentleman
who is figuring with local elevator build
ers on an increased elevator capacity Of
5000 900 bushels at Port Arthur. That
city and the neighboring Fort William al
ready have a considerable elevator ca
pacity. They are now-with two railways
to the western Canad ian wheat fields-in
fair way to become the Canadian coun
terparts of Duluth and Superior
The Canadian west has just begun to
grow wheat. Within a few years it will
be the most extensive hard wheat pro-
,ducing region in the world. The mills Of
Minneapolis will need that wheat. If it
were not for the tariff the wheat would
now be coming here and to Duluth
Superior, and would be handled as a part
of the American wheat crop, instead of
being sent abroad to compete with it in
Europe. "a.
Well informed grain men think that if
this Canadian wheat were to be regarded
as a part of the whole American crop, it
would cause the average level of wheat
prices to- rule somewhat higher than at
present Being denied access to the
American market, and the consumption of
Canada being Insignificant compared with
the countrys Wheat-raising capacity, the
Canadian crop is practically altogether an
export crop. That is known in Liverpool
and gives the buyers there certain adj
vantages, over the Canadian sellers. They
jam the price down to the lowest notch,
and that process, of course, has it's effect
on the price paid for American grain of
fered in the same market.
II this be a correct view, the tariff in
stead Of being protection to the Ameri-
can wheat grower is really an injury He
should not overlook the fact that the price
Of wheat is determined in Liverpool, not
in Minneapolis; that 1T is the price for
the export surplus that determines the
price for the whole crop.
But from the view point Of the local
milling interest it strikes us that there
are very strong reasons why they should
wish the tariff on Canadian wheat re-
moved. Already in short crop years our
millers have had to go out of the hard
wheat region to get grain for their mills.
| Yet across that imaginary line to the
north are grown millions of bushels Of fine
| hard wheat and the output of those Cana
| dian plains will bound up marvelously in
| theanext few years.

The opponents of the new tax law tell
us that it is hard alike on rich and poor,
