YOUTH AND FRESHNESS.

The minister who declared before one
of the sessions of the Minnesota Con-
gregational association which con-
Vened this week in st. Paul that a
minister must keep always fresh and
young probably did not intend to i'm
ply the same necessity that is implied
in the worlds insistent demand for
youth. The subject of his address,
which was also the sum of his advice,
always Keep Fresh and Young" was
doubtless intended as a kindly admo-
milton to his fellow laborers in the
Masters vineyard to keep their toll
from becoming mechanical. But over
looking the spiritual intent of his urg-
ing, it fits in with the call of civiliza-
ton today, the call for young blood,
that Is for quick-moving blood.
Voiced first by the business -institu-
tons, educational institutions quickly
took it up, and today the church echoes
the call.
If youth were matter of years
merely, the call would sound the death
knen Of those whose hands have not
yet grown weary of helping to perform
the worlds work. But, fortunately;
youth as the world regards it today is
freshness. It is constantly being as
serted that this is the age of the young
man. 1t is not that. It is the age Of
the man who has not grown old. Alex=
ander conquered the world when a
mere STRIPPING, and his contemporaries
saw no reason for exclaiming over his
extreme youth. Today the budding
statesman of forty, or even more, finds
himself handicapped by his lack of
years. But when finally his years al
low him to be admitted to councils.
there must be no hint Of senilfty in his
utterance; for today the world, de
mands what once represented an impes-
sible combination, wisdom and youth.
And to furnish it youth has appropri-
ated middle age and is pushing old age
far beyond the three score and ten
mark.
Formerly septugenarians exchanged
"reminiscences. Today they exchange
wedding cards. Instead of dwelling on
the past they anticipate the future.
And not even the sentimentalist would
change the new order of things for
the old. Even if he would, he could
not. For the young man, the man who
does not grow old, has come to stay
and his kind is bound to increase
rather than diminish.

UP IN A BALLOON.

Four F'renchmen, well-known in sci
entif1c circles, are endeavoring to raise
100000 for the purpose of taking
trip across the Atlantic in a balloon.
They claim that the observations pos
sible during the trip will be of the
greatest interest to the meteorological
world. They also claim that if their
theories are borne out there will be no
reason why such trips cannot be made
regularly at favorable seasons of the
year. Their first claim is just enough.
The survivors of trip made across
the Atlantic in a balloon would surely
have some interesting announcements
to make to the scientific world. But so
far as their second claim is concerned,
that. should they be successful. the
method of travelling and the route will
become popular, the world will chuckle
in it's sleeve over it. -

TELL THE TRUTH.

Some light is thrown upon theena7e
ture of the Northern Securities COM
pany and its relations to the twoS raff-s
roads, by the recent action on the oc-
casion of the annual elections or Dr.
rectors of the companies. When that
of the Northern Pacific was held no
action was taken because the Secpr1z~
ties company held four ffths Of the
capital stock and the injunction re-
strained voting on that stock. YeSter-
day the Great Northern annual meet
ting was held and directors chosen be-
cause a majority of the stock was held
outside the Northern Securities COM
pany, and hence the injunction did not
operate. 1t was understood that@thes
primal purpose of that organization
was to hold the controlling stock OF the
Great Northern, to prevent raids ana
to make permanent it's control 1t IS
not an unreasonable inference to be
drawn from these facts that its sole
purpose was to accomplish the ADJ
sorption of the Northern Pacific by the
Great Northern, heretofore prevented
by the ceurts.-St. Paul Dispatch.
This is a fair sample of the methods
employed by the Dispatch in discus
sing public questions. It's argument,
worthless In any event, happens to-
rest upon what the writer knew, or
ought to have known before he as
sumed to write on the subject, to be "a.
square, downright falsehood. v4s@z@ss
The very great majority of the stock
of both the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern companies is held by
the Northern Securities. The primal
purpose of it's organization was@sex=4
actly as stated, to prevent raids on the
stocks of the constituent companies in
the hope Of obtaining control. And In
that holding the stocks of the Great
Northern and the Northern Securities
fare the same.
The difference between the two lies
in the fact that both the charter and
the bylaws of the Northern Pacific
contain a provision requiring ma
jority of it's total stock to be repre-
scented and entitled to vote at a stock
holders meeting before business can
be done. AS majority of the stock
was restrained from voting by an in
junction of the federal courts, no bust
ness could be transacted. The Great
Northern company has no such pro-
vision. A minority of the stock can
hold a meeting and take action. This
accounts for the difference in the two
meetings. If the Dispatch is as igrior-
ant as it's statements indicate, why does
it expose that ignorance? If it knows
better why lie about it?

ready enough, to back up daredevil
Ieats' they are not ready enough to
participate zin% them. One successful
balloon trip across the Atlantic would
not convince the world that this is
safe method of$traveling from one con-
llnent TO another; and unless it were
convinced, the. world would accept
neltner the method nor the route Hap
ply for the wsrld, but unhappily per-
haps for science, there are only a few
people in each generation who have the
courage of their scientific convictions:
ana these few have shown no great
aplllty IN the matter of making con-
verts. The world is especially apt to
look askance at any form of aerial
navigation. Life is always uncertain,
but it seems to be particularly uncer-
tain in a balloon.
And even if the element OF danger
were eliminated, the balloon would
hardly be popular means of transit.

pace or the coast of Norway is dis
concerning even if nothing more. Most
people have prejudice In favor of
knowing their destination in this world,
at least, and this is exactly what bal
loon journeying denies them. Progress
has undoubtedly been made in aerial
navigation, but not sufficient to assure
those people who are here today where
they'll be- tomorrow if they travel by
way of balloon.
But the world wouldn't be anywhere

We're willing to take risks to prove their

to the present age when newspaper

Of those who stand looking backward,
wherefrom we, may trace our decline. =
Now the world, according to our re-
ceived opinions, was not very evil half
century ago. Great ideas were
rampant. The excuses of the revolu-
tionary spirit with which the former
century closed had subsidized into a
larger love of liberty and gentler but
more real humanity. In this country
the molding influence of a great moral
issue, and the republic was about to
cast its treasure, its life and its whole
future into a tremendous struggle for
human freedom. In Great Britain
parliamentary reform had already re-
newed the very fabric of the constitu-
ton, as the abolition Of tariffs had
stimulated industry. Men, in truth,
saw fortune waiting at their chariot
wheels; but never, as the struggles of
the Crimea and the brilliant incidents
of India's dramatic history proved,
were the English people less wrapped
in Grass n1aterialism or less insensible
to the call of patriotism, sacrifice and
courage. Yet the despairing note
sounded by Trollope, least sentimental
or pessimistic of them all, was his es-
innate of the dominant characteristic
Of the day.
Little journeys into the real past,
like this, are our salvation from the
dogma of the doleful philosopher. The
subtlest failure of our time is its in
ability to apply the historic test. 1t
lacks moral perspective. When the
critic or the politician or the philos-
opher whose turn it suits or whose
mind is so bent prophesfes evil be-
cause of the unparalleled materialism
OF our country and our age, we sit in
profound encouragement before the
not that he is false prophet because
of our yesterday. Thus our judgments
lose edge and accuracy, and what
should be the sonorous voice of the
spirit and interpreter of the time be-
comes the tumult of rabble or the
clamor of children shouting in the
street.
