Many persons who take the time to
recall the troubles from which the stock
market suffered last year are wondering
If there will not be similar disturbances
in the cotton market.
No one is looking for a boom in the
iron trade at present, and the fact that
the activity that marked the industry a
year ago is not a feature of the present
market for iron and steel products
ought not to cause disappointment
Business cannot boom at all times. and
healthful reaction will not plunge the
couhtry into bankruptcy.
The criticism is variously heard that
the Western contingent made a serious
mistake in Identifying itself so oromi-
nently with the operations for the adj
vance. IL was unable TO command the
confidence either of the professional
Wall Street element or the semi-Drofes-
siOnal outside public. Even in the West
where its following is supposed to be
largest, there has been general skepti-
cism as TO the good faith of its demon,

Spangler's Latest Bulletin.

Lee Spangier, a retired merchant of York
Pa, who styles himself the last Of the proehets.
has issued a bulletin setting forth what ht
calls revelations which were sent 20 him ia the
deep forests.
ala my last bulletin, issued last July. - says
Spangler, Il predicted the election OF Theo.
dore Roosevelt as President of the United
States. This has come to pass. | also pre-
dicted that great drought would be visited
upon the country. This has come to pass.
This drought will become more general. Ii
will visit Pennsylvania, and the earth Of Eu,
rope will be parched There will be great
famine.
81 would prefer to be an humble laboring
man. working at 81 week, and without pros
poets, than to be in the boots of President
Roosevelt.
'But he is just the man for the place he is
in. He loves the strenuous life. HIS life in
the White House will be more than strenuous.
II will be tumultuous. He will be beset with
trials and tribulations such as no President OF
the United States has ever experienced.
'Great riots will shake this land in the next
two years and workingmen will parade the
streets. This great struggle between oppres-
sors and the oppressed will result in the for
nation of new political party of which the
President will be the indirect founder. The
working classes, under the leadership of
Roosevelt, will triumph over the trusts.
There is to be an epidemic of dissensions
in the families of the land There will be hell
in the kitchen. The greatest hell will be in
the preachers kitchen. There will be a re-
newa of hostlities in South Africa in 1905. =

The Presidents Message.

The second session of the 18th Congress.
opened on Monday last, and on Tuesday moor
the President sent in his annual message tc
that body. 1t is of unusual length, occupying
from fourteen to sixteen columns in the daily
press. and not of much interest. 1t will moi
be read by any considerable number of the
general public, and those who rely upon the
synopses given by the press will not gain much
information concerning it.
Much of the message has heretofore been
published from the Department reports, with
which the people are familiar, and some oft
is of no special interest to the public. Fol-
instance who cares about more play grounds
for the children of Washington aud better
houses for the poor Of that city. These are
mere local matters, in which the District
Commissioners are partly in control. Who,
living this side of the Mississippi, has much
interest in irrigation and forestry cultivation.
Who cares for what the President says about
bribery in elections, when he knows that it
was money that sent him to the Vice, Presi.
dency and recently bought for him four year
term. What force has his words in enlarging
the powers of the Inter State Commerce Com
mittee, Civil Service Reform and restraining
trusts Under four aud half years of Nc
Kinley and three and a half of Roosevelt,
nothing has been done along these lines, and
nothing will be done. Words count for little.
1t is the character, stability and sincerity of
the man behind them The only confidence
that can be placed upon any part of the Presi-
dents message is when he talks of bis big stick
policy, but on this he but reiterates what he
has been saying for some lime past. He pro
poses to make the South American States pay
their debts, aud maintain peace and order
within their borders, aud he is determined to
have hand in European and Asiaiic politics
and policies. His remarks on foreign affairs
are liable 10 encourage the restless people in
all continental Europe to riot and revolution,
believing that the United States may get
involved in some way to their advantage
The President has been uagging the Russian
government about seizures of ships and
passports Of Jews, in our opinion very
cowardly act when that nation has war
on hand. None OF those matters are Of press
ing necessity for determination.
The President wants 10 continue TO increase
the navy aud army, aud ne has a purpose for
SO doing. That purpose can be nothing less
than vigorous policy in European and AsiAlic
affairs, With possible war.
We believe nov As we believed during the
late eampaign-Roosevelt is a dangerous man
io he in the Presidential Office. He lacks
good Judgment, political sanity
and everything thar President shou ID possess,
and We believe the people OF the country will
all be Of one mind on this matter before his
term OF four years sud.

With deficiency in receipts of the govern

the President advocates an increase of the
navy and army. The War Department last
year spent $1l5,O35, 4l0.5s and the Navy
$1O2, $50, 10l.55. No single nation in the
world will ever attack the United States. II

During the latter part OF this year the Chris

living an example OF purity, love and charity,

has special feature, such as good Attendance.
good singing, ieryeut prayer, good speaking,
or a good system Of order IA lis services.
These features represent the strength of the
society, aud If they are combined they will
surely form good order OF service, and ia
this way one society is helping to strengthen a
neighbor society by its special feature, aud
