NATIoNls IDEALS

Recent events in connection with
the Panama affair tend to empha-
size the passing character Of our
national ideals
Til the events Of the past few
years. American craftsmanship and
diplomacy stood out as unique in
the history Of the world. 1t diff
fered from that Of all other nations
past and present in that it recog-
nized that the rules Of honorable
conduct governing a nation were
the same as those governing an iu-
dividual. The nations conduct
must be as consistent. as upright as
honest and fair as that Of a private
citizen. 1t was never held that a
nation might do what it was strong
enough to do. or that the weakness
Of q nation was any reason why it
should be trampled upon
Though not embodied "a a
written declaration, the broad
principle Of the equality Of individ-
uais before the law was recognized
as equally applicable in the rela-
hons ot nations one 70 another The
rights i The smallest nation, as
those q the weakest citizen were
As sacred as those Of tie strongest.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
A Strong Sermon, and "A Good
Collection for the
Poor.

The union Thanksgiving services
at the Methodist churce yesterday
morning were attended by a good
congregation of people.
The program was carried cut in
the main as formerly announced. 1t
was entirely appropriate to the oc-
aasion and those who attended felt
amply repaid
Rev. G. II. Ray conducted the
services. Rev. L. B. Grogan offer
ed prayer, Rev. Mr..Phelps Of Ok
lahoala City, read the Scripture
lesson and Rev. Hacker preached
the sermon. The music consisted
Of hymns by the congregation and
an anthem by the quartet.
The text of the sermon was:
Show me your faith without your
works and I will show you my
faith by my works. In his intro
duclion the speaker said, that while
these words were written with a
purpose in view entirely distinct
from that for which he purposed to
use them, at the same time they
contained a thought that he re-
garded as appropriate to a thanks
giving sermon.
Mr.. Hacker asked his hearers
to forget for the time the blessings
of the year for which they had rea-
son to sbe thankful, to forget the
turkey and other good things of the
Thanksgiving dinner, and to turn
their minds to the question Of how
gratitude might the most appropri-
ately be expressed.
In discussing the question the
speaker declared first, that his
hearers should show their real gra
titude by the recognition of their
position as "world-citizens. " Man
is no longer a mere member of
certain community, but he has re-
lations to the whole world and must
feel world sympathy. Distant
lands have need of the help of
christian lands; there are dark
places in the earth to which we can
send the light of our civiliza-
ton.
Secondly, we can show gratitude
bya more faithful performance of
the duties Of citizenship in our own
nation. As nation we are awake
ing to a larger life-a life undream-
ed of by our fathers of an earlier
day. We must be fully alive to inc
dangers which threaten our govern
ment and our citizens must be will
ing to devote themselves with earn
.estness to preservation of a strong
and pure national life.
Third, gratitude will be express
ed by better service as a citizens of
the community. We are pioneers
in this new country and the future
history Of the new country will re-
'ceive the impress of our character,
The speaker placed great stress up
on public sentiment as the ruling
factor in the life of the community.
He enumerated the corruption in
official life in the territory and the
Temperance movement as among
those demanding the earnest at
tention of our citizens.
The sermon was very practi-
cal one, the central thought being
that thanks should be expressed in
deeds rather than in words.
At the Close of the sermon a col
lection was taken for the poor of
the city, to be distributed by the
Union Benevolent Association. It
amounted in cash and subscriptions
to S6s.7s.
The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. Leonard.

WHO'LL INHERIT CLEVELAND vOrEa
Speculation Upon Consequence of Ex,
Presidents Statement Never was any
Likelihood Of His Candidacy.

Likelihood Of His Candidacy.
A dispatch from Washington says
that the only interest excited in
Congressional and political circles
there over Mr.. Cleveland's letter of
declination is as to the question, to
whom will the so-called Cleveland
strength be now thrown.
Politicians informed on the %itua
tion have long known that the talk
about Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy
was for one purpose alone-to
arouse the interest of the Eastern
Democrats, and the conservatives of
the West, in a Democratic candi-
date. Since 1896 many of these
Democrats have associated them
selves entirely with the Republ-
cans, until the contemplation of
Republican policies has become,
with them, a habit of mind, and
from that to the casting Of a vote
for Republican candidate was
logical transition.
So to get these men back into
train of thought, the objective of
which was Democratic candidate
tor President, the party managers
have been talking Cleveland. 1t is
not to be denied that the name has
been something with which to con-
jure. Mr.. Cleveland lent himself to
the plan until the passage Of time
brought him face to lace with a
Show down.
The question now is to whom
will the Cleveland strength go? st.
Clair McKelway would make Judge
Parker Of New York the legatee.
He may be able to divert the Cleve-
land sentiment in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania to Judge
Parker, but politicians say that he
can not SO easily swing the South,
and New Englanders say there is
Olney to be taken into account
Southern Democrats say that if
Judge Parker comes into the coll
vention under escort of the Cleve-
land sentiment and the old Cleve-
land crowd, it will be a distinct
drawback to him SO far as the CO.
operation of the Southern delegates
is concerned. And yet, these same
men, III the very next breath ad-
NIT that any candidate who is unan-
inously supported by New York,
and has chance of carrying the
Empire State, will be acceptable to
the South.
Of course, the plan which Mr..
McKelway suggests would require
the sanction Of Tammany Leader
Murphy, to make it effective. If
Tammany backs Judge Parker, and
there are no revolts Of other factions
of Democrats in the State, it is un-
deniable, politicians say, that Judge
Parker will be formidable candi-
date and the prestige of Tammany's
support might go far with the South
erners toward neutralizing the tinge
of Clevelandism which might cling
to him.
Now that the Cleveland boom
has served its purpose, and the
aroused Democratic sentiment, like
hive of swarming bees, is ready to
"light' there are several lively TOM
toms inviting the cluster. They
are Mr.. German of Maryland; ; Judge
Parker of New York; Judge Gray
of Delaware; Mr.. Olpey of Mas

THE PROPERTIES
OF SEA WATER

n EVERAL years ago the city council
Of Hastings, England, tried the ex-
- pertinent of employing sea, water
for watering the streets and flushing the
sewers, and their example was soon fol-
lowed by the local authorities Of a num-
Der OF other towns on the coast. The
wastefulness. not to say folly. of using
for such purposes water that had al
considerable labor and expense been nj
tered 10 the highest attainable degree OF
purity seemed obvious and though. Of
course. it involved the installation of a
separate system OF pumping station,
mains, and hydrants. the fact that the
supply was inexhaustible and itself cost
absolutely nothing was so evident that
it was strange that this source had been
neglected SO long.
The sanitary and economic results
seemed more than to Justify the limo
walton, for, TO say nothing of its slightly
antiseptic action. the microscopic prop
erty of the salt caused the effects of
each watering to last for a much lon
ger time. and the surface of the road
way was believed Ivy some TO be more
compact and cohesive, than when fresh
water was employed. Besides the re-
trenchments the new system presented
a direct source Of revenue in the de-
mand by many private househoiders for
a salt water service TO their bathrooms
so that they might enjoy the luxury OF
sea-bathing at home.
But a few wears experience has IN
fortunately brought about no small
disilIusionment; the owners OF carriages
complain of the destructive action of the
salt mud on the varnish and paint. and
the tradesmen complain of the injury in
hicted on goods Of all kinds by the salt
dust and its subsequent deliquescence.
Lastly. the users themselves, the local
authorities and their customers, have
discovered that the salt water exerts
such a corrosive and generally destruc-
tive action on metal pipes and fittings
that the number OF persons contracting
for a domestic supply has fallen from
200 to 2, and the leakage from the joints
of the street mains has caused the death
OF the trees planted in the best streets.
