Foreign Coal Helps.
Philadelphia Record.

IIIdUVIpIId INtCUTU.
During the eight months ended in Febru-
airy the imports of bituminous coal
amounted to 2,491,612 tons, or more than
double the i~mportations for the correspond
ing period of the preceding fiscal year. The
rebate Of duty OF coal was made by con-
gress In January and in February the i'm
portation Of bituminous coal amounted to
SIS, 721 tons, against 152. 92S tons in February,
1902. Most of this Increased importation
was from Nova Scotia. 1t is not much
compared with the domestic supply, but re-
bate of the tax on coal has Afforded some
substantial relief to consumers in New
England.

William Jennings Bryan is in favor Of

nominee Of i've parties for the presidency

the people prosperous. They are a part

Flags MT Catholic Funerals.
SAN Antonio (Tex.l Exnrega-

San Antonio CTex.) EXPIRES.
Monsignor F~olconio, the apostolic dele
gate. left san Antonio wednesday after
noon for Los Angeles, Cal. While in this
city Monsignor Folconio settled the much
vexed question respecting the use of ma
tional flags In the Catholic church in the
burial ceremony. The question has arisen
in this city in the past over the regulation
of the Grand Army Of the Republic and
confederate veterans respecting the draping
OF the casket of a comrade in the flag. This
Interpretation given this regulation by
church authorities has been that 1t was
part of a religious ceremony, and as such
1t could not be introduced into the church.
The apostolic delegate has ruled that not
only may the flag go into the church, but
into the Catholic cemetery IS we'll, and
that after the priest has ofhciated accor l.
ing to the Roman ritual, the civil organi-
cation may take charge and conclude its
ceremonies over the grave.

RESIGNATION.
Henry w. Longfellow.

Henry w, Longfellow.
There is no flock. however watch'd and
But one dead lamb Is there!
There is no hreside, howsoe,er defended
But has one vacant chair!
The air is full Of farewells to the dying,
And mourning for the dead;
The heart OF Rachel Tor her chiloren cry
VIII not be comforted!
Tet us he patientl These severe Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial b~enedicuons
Assume the dark disguise.
We see but dlmly through the mists and
Amid these earthly damps
What seem TO US but sad, funeral tapers
May be heavens distant lamps
There is no Death! What seems SO is transit
This lite of mortal breath
Is but a suburb OF the life elysfan
Whose portal we call Death.
She IL rot dead-the child OF our Affection
But gone into that School
Where she no longer needs our poor pro-
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stiffness and seclu-
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, sate from poluuon
She lives, whom we call dead.
DaV after day we THINK What she Is oolnB
IN those bright realms OF air;
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep un-
broken
The bono which Nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance though
May reach her where she lives. ,
Not as a child shall we again behold her
For when with rapture Wild
In our embraces we again enfold her,
She will not be a child;
Rut a fair maiden, in her Fathers mansion.
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though. at times, impetuous with emo
ton
And anguish long Suppressed.
The swelling heart heaves' moaning Ne
the ocean,
That cannot be at rest -
We will be patient. and assuage the feeling
We may not wholly stay;
BY silence sanctfying. not concealing,
The grief that must have way.

Some of the sons of their fathers who
were given commissions in the army
during the spHnish-American war are
getting into trouble through lack Of
moral stamina to Withstand the temp
tatlon that came in their way. Other
officers bearing illustrlous names, on the
other hand. are making creditable re-
cords for themselves and laying the
foundations for promotion and future
usefulness. In a word, the success Of
an officer In the American army, more
perhaps than in the army OF any other
nation, depends rot on his father, bur
on himself. II he has the elements

NOT A sTEApYIA0 INFIuENos

1t is contended by some that the In
dustrial combinations have a steadylng
effect and tend to mitigate, If not pre-
vent, those disastrous reactions which
have hitherto succeeded periods OF pros
perlty. This has not been the exper-
fence abroad. A prominent European
economist, referring to the claim made
In this country respecting the stendying
influence Of the Industrial combinations
and that they serve to regulate and d.
minish commercial crises, says that re-
cent experience In Germany proves
that this whole famous guaranty
against crises is a mere illusion. The
syndicates which in the great outburst
OF Industrial aud commercial activity

resources, who laid a heavy burden on
buyers, were a distinctly contributory
element In the economic reaction when

In celebrating by a special number
the twentieth anniversary of its publ
cation under the present management
the New York World can point back
with eminent satisfaction to a period
of effective activity in the front rank of
American journalism matched by few
other newspapers. Since Mr.. Pulitzer
took hold of 1t, the World has been a
standing contradiction of those who
would contend that the great news
paper OF today is welding gradually
less and less influence over public af-
fairs and yielding its place as the
moulder OF popular thought and leader
of public affairs. The important part
played by the fearless and enterprlsing
newspaper not only in promoting ma
tional prosperity but in safeguarding
individual rights and protecting free in
stitutIons is but family realized even by
thoughtful people, because we have
come to take It as a matter Of curse
that the honest newspaper should stand
forth constantly as the peoples cham
plon. The history of no American
pape more than the World in its
twenty years Of new life exemplihes
better the true field Of journalistic eff
| fort In the public arena, without in the
least neglecting the -news-gathering
| function, which it has simultaneously
developed into ov~ershadowlng proper
