Why There was No Race.

James ]. HILL the railroad president
began his connection with the trans
portation business through steamboat
ing, but he soon deserted it for rail-
reading. The road which he has since
made so widely known was at that
time considered the slowest in the
country. Mr.. Hill listened good nat
uredly to the fun that was naturally
poked at his road, and worked the
harder to improve it.
Meeting Mr.. Hill one day in the
street in st. Paul, Diamond Joe"
Reynolds of upper river steamboat
fame, said:
Jim, I'll match one of my steam
boats against one of your trains in
fair race for $500 a side"
well, I don't know" hesitated Mr..
Hill; some of your boats are pretty
fast"
Come, I'll race you upstream"
urged Reynolds.
''Oh, thunder" returned Mr.. Hill in
a disguised tone; "if you're going to
stick to the river then you might as
we'll drop the notion of race.
thought you meant you'd bring your
boat out on the prairie alongside the
track and give me some show"

Hearst to get it. He stated some time
ago that he was not a candidate, and
there isn't any reason why he should
support Mr. Hearst for it. He couldn't
get it if he wanted it and it is certain
that he hasn't influence enough to have
Mr.. Hearst nominated.
The time may come when the DEM
ocratic party may be willing to nomi-
nate Mr. Bryan again, and it may
nominate Mr. Hearst when he is much
older than he is at present. The evil
dence that there is no sentiment for
either of them that is worth consider
ing is the fact that none of the lead
ers of the party is urging the noml-
nation Of either.
The Democratic party hopes to win
the next presidential election. To do
that it must have harmony. 1t couldn't
have harmony if either Mr.. Bryan or
Mr.. Hearst were nominated and the
Kansas City platform reafirmed and
neither of them could very well stand
upon any other.
The minds of the leaders of the par
ty are pretty well made up to one
thing, and that is that in order to have
a chance of success the party must
have a nominee and a platform that
will suit the Democrats of New York,
Connecticut, New jersey and Mary
land. Neither Mr.. Hearst nor Mr..
Bryan would suit them. Neither would
a platform that would be in harmony
with the views of either of them. There
are Democrats in the West with whom
they are very popular, but the West
will contribute very little to Demo-
cratic success in 1904. The East is de-
pended upon for a Democratic victory.
The East therefore will name the cam
didate and make the platform. Neither
Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Hearst will be CIV
en- serious consideration.

THAT ASBESTOS CURTAIN.

In the dispatches relative to the ter
rible disaster at the Iroquois Theater
in Chicago, much has been said of the
placed on it to protect the audience
if fire should occur on the stage or in
the scenery. 1t has been stated in the
dispatches many times that if some
thing had not occurred to prevent the
lowering of the asbestos curtain there
would have been no disaster, because
the fire could not have reached the
auditorium, and hence the audience,
feeling secure from danger. wouldn't
have become panic stricken. A Chicago
dispatch in one of the New York
papers states that the curtain
wasn't properly hung, that it was put
up in such a way that it was liable
to get out of order just at the time
when there was the greatest need for
It; that. in fact, it was a cheap at
fair and after the fire. when search
was made for it, only scraps Of it were
found.
If this dispatch states the truth, the
proprietors of the theater were not so
careful about making the house safe
for their patrons as they were to save
their property in case of fire. If the
asbestos curtain was a good one it
could not have been practically de-
stroyed by the fire to which it was
subjected. II it was only a make-be-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem) says:
"Mr. Morgan is reported as saying
in an interview that the wealth of
this country is less punched than at
any time in its history Neverthe-
less there are three or four men, of
whom Mr.. Morgan is one, who have
punched quite respectable part of
that wealth"
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says
eff Roosevelt believes Perry Heath
he will have to do some back-step-
ping. When he assumed the duties
of the office he announced that he
would carry out the wishes and poll
lies of Mckinley as far as he could
learn them. Heath says Mckinley
wanted Hanna to succeed him, but
there is no evidence to show that
Roosevelt will try. to carry out that
WISH
The New York Tribune says; 'Tur-
cimans and Persians are said to be
shedding blood upon the border of the
kingdom of the Shah, and stories of
quarrels between France and Siam
come from the Orient. But there were
before dark clouds enough upon the
Asiatic skies, and neither the Musco-
vite nor the Gaul is hunting for adj
ditional trouble while the shadows
lowering over Japan, Corea and Man
churia are so portentious. Little
sparks may cause great fires and
earth-shaking explosions, and the air
is overcharged with electricity at this
period"
The Washington Post says:
Whether missionary work is more
needed in Asia, Africa and other
heather lands than here at home
among the forlorn and neglected in
out own slums Is a question which
the individual must decide for him
self. Apparently good people with
money to give to such enterprises are
disposed to prefer the foreign to the
domestic crusade. One hears of thous-
ands of dollars contributed to mis-
sions in China, Japan, etc, as COM
pared with hundreds, even tens, for
use at home. It is entirely clear to
our mind. apart from all other con-
siderations, chat the unhappy, degrad-
ed and miserable millions who swarm
in the slums and purlieus of Ameri-
can cities constitute a much more i'm
peratiVe appeal to American solicit
tude than the alleged pagans of At
RIGA and Asia"

RELIGION AS A DIVERSION.

In the days of the prophets religious
worship was matter of most solemn
and impressive form. THE Lord is
in his holy temple; let all the earth
keep silence before him." was the spir-
it of those times. In the days of
the apostles, likewise, worship was at
tended with decorum. Let all things
be done decently and in order" wrote
Paul. But since then the times have
changed, and men have changed with
them. In ancient days people were
called to prayer by the sounding OF
the shofar now their attention is at
tracted by brass bands, and theatrical
devices. In some quarters, indeed, re-
ligion seems to have become more of
diversion. in the hands of some of
it's propagators, than a very serious
spiritual affair involving the eternal
welfare of immortal souls.
We have in mind the announcements
and performances of some Northern
and Western preachers and teachers
during the recent past. In Chicago
we believe it was, one good man advo-
Gated the shouting of the college yell
at prayer meetings. He advocated mill
tant religion, and said the college yell
interspersed between inVocations and
benedictions would, put ginger into
the services" 1t would, he declared,
terested; roofing has a moral eff
feet: why should it not be taken adj
vantage of in the chapel as we'll as
on the gridiron or the diamond?" An
other good man took a barkeeper's
outfit into his pulpit, black bottles and
all, for the purpose of illustrating a
temperance sermon. Still another at
tached lunch room to his church and
served coffee. cakes and sandwiches in
the intervals between prayers and
preaching. Several others have adopt
ed the stereopticon as an aid to their
eloquence, giving a good show and
at the same time a good lecture. In
some churches reading rooms, gym
nasiums and games have been proyid-
ed, with the purpose in view of pop
ularizing" the services. 1t seems that
we may look forward to the time when
some brother of the cloth will provide
a full vaudeville bill for the delecta-
ton of those who may thus be induc-
ed to come and see and hear.
The design to induce people to attend
divine services is. of course, highly
commendable. but does not religion
suffer as a consequence of some of
the queer devices that are employ
ed in it's name? Considered in itself,
it is so strong as to need no embel-
lishments. Whatever extraneous mat
ter is attached to it tends rather to
weaken than to strengthen it. Religion
is a matter of the mind. the soul: not
of the eye or ear. We have heard
it said that in some of the heather"
countries the natives have been, in
advertently, of course. led to believe
that our religion means nothing more
than food and clothes without work,
and that when the food and clothes
have ceased to be supplied to them
they have reverted to their original
state of heathenism. Is there not dan
ger, if the vaudeville features of some
of our services are continued. that
many of our own people win after a
while come to look on the service more
in the nature of an entertainment than
as solemn and holy religious rite?

BIG ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE
SOUTH

The high price of cotton is adver-
Using the South as she has never been
advertised before. The whole world is
talking about cotton, and that natural
ly draws attention to the South her
resources and the advantages she has
to offer to home-seekers and investors.
1t is being stated by men prominent
in Southern railroads that they are
getting more inquiries from the East
and West respecting the South than
at any previous time 1t is being talk
ed about among all classes of people
that the Souths leading crop this year
will bring her farmers fully 5000 900. 900.
And the farmers are getting that
amount of money. 1T will be recalled
that Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, in discussing
speculation in cotton futures some
time ago, intimated that the cotton
spectators managed to put up the
price after the cotton had passed out
of the possession of the farmers. This
year the farmers have received the
high price. The price was high from
the very beginning of the picking sea-
son, and it advanced to the highest
point it has reached while a large part
of the crop was in the hands of it's
producers. Indeed there is no doubt
that many of the farmers have big
percentage of their cotton yet.
We shall not be surprised If the
South receives more immigrants this
year than in any previous year in her
history. A percentage of the immi-
grants arriving at New York will seek
the South. They will have heard be-
fore leaving their native lands of her
prosperity, and will make inquiries
about it. The South has never made
efforts to get this class Of immigrants,
but we are sure that If she were to do
so this year she would be able to take
her pick OF it.
The indications are that the price
of cotton will never again drop to
what it was a few years ago--5 cents
pound. 1t may not remain as high
as it is now, but it win be high enough
to yield good profit. AS great as
the progress is which the South has
made in the last FIVE years It isn't
as great as it will be in the next five.

Moving Onward.

New poem, by Alfred Austin, Poet
Laureate of England.
Years moving onward, onward. Whence,
and whittier, and why ?
Age after age in the self-same world,
with the self-same stars in the
sky;
The seIf-same glory of light in Heaven
and light that is still on the
way;
Outlooking gaze of the damsel dawn
and droop of declining day;
All things always the same, I'M
changed, Interchangeable, all save
Who come like clouds. like clouds
disappear, from and fall like wave
of the sea;
Message and meeting of several
friends, Yule carol, New Year
chime,
And Eternity moving on and on, on
the passionless weeks of Time;
Peace but a hungry duel for life
Gardening to menace of war,
And Muscovite legions tramping' on,
doing the will of the Gar
New philosophers, policies; new, new,
but like to the old
Fervent in faith at the birth, then
questioned, rallied at, obsolete
Mailed mastodons ploughing the main,
their backs bullying over the
foam,
Watching to vomit forth lethal fire
and drive desolation home;
Fretful heart of some dreading bay in
the crimsoning coverts of Spring,
Moving, mellowing slowly on to be-
come a poet and sing;
Or destined by Heaven to wake and
ArII xrrffk aser1,f ~
voice.
And make the knees of the tyrant
quail and the heart of the slave
rejoice,
To gather the tumult of every tide
and the fury of every blast,
And pile fresh thunders of thought
upon the freshening storms of the
past;
British sentinels standing mute at the
fortress gates of the world,
And the British flag on every sea with
it's splendid symbol unfurled
Carrying liberty, reverence, law, wher-
ever wave-pulses reach,
To bale-laden quay, to highway,
stream, and palm waited island
beach:
Lovers, husbands, like you, like me,
torn from their homes afar.
Marching, marching, onward and on,
doing the will Of the Gar;
Past sinking and snarling, white
tangled 10th, through limitless
leagues of snow,
Moon after noon of monotonous months
till the blue-eyed scilla's blow,
And the cold-sleeping rivers yawn and
wake and nightly flush and flow;
Peasant mother and maiden left at
their desolate doors ajar.
While their sons and lovers march
warward, deathward, doing the
will of the Car.
But still the glory OF light in Heaven
and light that is still on it's way;
Faint hearts that despond of to-mor-
row, look up, and be done with
despair or dismay.
For British sentinels stand erect at
the fortress gates of the world,
And the British flag is on every sea
with its splendid symbol unfurl-
ed,
And the Lord of Right still sits on
His throne, still Yields his Secptre
and rod,
And the winds and the waves and
the years move on doing the will
Of God.

PROMPT ACTION ON THE TREATY
WANTED.

1t is no secret that the President
wants the Senate to ratify the Pan
ANA treaty quickly. Delay may bring
complications that will prove costly
to this country. 1t is expected that
the President will send a message to
Congress tomorrow showing the i'm
portance of prompt action on the
treaty. In that message he may an
swer questions that have been raised
in the debate on the resolution of SEN
ator Hoar.
1t can be readily seen that the adj
ministration occupies a rather tick
lish position. 1t is now undertaking
to defend Panama against Colombia
under the treaty of 1916, which gives
this country authority to protect traf-
fic across the isthmus. That treaty
hardly gives the United States au-
thority to prevent Colombians from
landing on the isthmus for the pur-
pose Of regaining control of Panama.
They are undertaking to prevent them
from landing now, though circum-
stances might arise which would lead
them to reach the decision that they
were exercising greater authority than
was conferred upon them by that
treaty.
1t is Of the utmost Importance there
fore that the Panama treaty shall be
ratified as soon as possible. BY means
of that treaty the United States are
authorized to protect the new repub-
~
should be ratified the United States
would have ample authority to prevent
Colombia from landing an armed force
on the isthmus.
If there should be war between the
Colombians and the Panamaians while
the United States have no other author
ity for being on the isthmus than Is
furnished by the treaty of 1885, and they
should decide that their authority went
no further than to afford actual pro-
lection to traffic, they would have to
furnish large force to keep the way
open across the isthmus. The distance,
is forty-seven miles, and the climate
isn't healthy by any means The
cost of protecting the traffic might
therefore be very great in money and
life.
There doesn't seem to be much doubt
that the treaty will be ratified, but IL
may not be ratified for several weeks
There is probability that it will be
the subject Of a long debate. There
are Democrats and Republicans who
think the means that were employed
to secure the necessary canal con-
cessions were not creditable to this
country These means seem to point
to the conclusion that our govern
ment was instrumental in bringing
about the revolution on the isthmus.
1t is denied of course that it foment-
ed the revolution or encouraged it.
Probably the President will have
something to say on this point in his
message. If he satisfies the Senate
that our government didn't suggest
to Panama to declare her independ-
ence and did not encourage her in any
way the treaty may be promptly rati-
fed. If he doesn't do that, the chances
are there will be long debate, and
that while the debate is in progress
there will be troubles of a serious
character on the isthmus. With a
prompt ratification OF the treaty all
danger of war between Colombia and
Panama would be ended.
