You can have wealth, it seems,
without Christianity, but you can't
have sound article of Christianity
without eventually having wealth.
Is that it?''
II suspect there's truth in that A
sound article of Christianity makes
for liberty and order; industry and
education follow, and then, inevitably,
wealth. And wealth balloons the
standard Of living and the pinch of
comfort makes hogs of all of us, and
drives SO hard that we haven't tine
to say our prayers. Perhaps you are
going on to compute that the vast i'm
crease of wealth will stimulate greed
and choke OF religion, and then"
"Why, then, Of course, liberty will
droop, envy will increase, the secur-
ity of property will become i'm
paired"
"Ha The sscking of Newport
comes in sight, and 1 shall have
catalogue !"
but it isn't imminent. 1t won't
come so long as opportunity still in
vites the mass Of US, and you and
continue to respond as we do to the
pinch of comfort. AS long as there
are chances enough ahead to keep us
moving, 1 shall not look to see seri-
GUS proportion of the population re.
vert to the hobo condition. When you
take to the woods and let your chill
dren go barefoot, shall be around for

DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.

The New York Times claims that
the Republicans, start in the Presiden'
tial campaign with the loss of West
Virginia. It asserts that the nomina-
tion of Henry G. Davis, of that State,
has insured that State to the Demo-
Gratis again after it has been Repub-
lican for eight years. Its six electoral
votes went to Cleveland three times
and also to Hancock and to Tilden, so
it would not be surprising if the State
should be overturned, though it may
not be that Mr.. Davis's nomination
will have much to do about it. The
Democrats claim Maryland out of the
doubtful list on account of Senator
German and the powers behind him.
There can be no question that this
campaign starts in with much more of
the element of doubt in it than did
the last. From the beginning, Nc
Kiley was believed by political proph-
cts to be the winner four years ago,
and so he was. Today there are plenty
of indications of coming Republican
success, but, owing to the fact that
the action of the Democrats is still
much in doubt, the whole political
battlefield is more or less in doubt.
The Democrats are not SO badly handi-
capped as they have been in the past
two fights, but they now have enough
to drag them down.
Dissension is still rife in the
party in large number of the States.
while in only one State is there
trouble of any consequence in the Re-
publican ranks. Wisconsin is badly
torn up over State issues, but it ap-
pears that both the stalwart' Re-
publicans and the LaFollette forces are
for Roosevelt so it is not expected the
division will seriously affect the vote
The Democrats must make great gains,
they must carry New York, Connecti-
cut and some other large doubtful
State. besides Maryland and West Vir-
ginia and several smaller States that
now stand as Republican in order to
get ma ority. The indications are
that they cannot do this.

the poor Kaffir under Dutch rule have
been rewarded for their weeping sym
pathy by permission to employ Chinese
coolie labor in their mines on terms
that amount to definite slavery.
And now the foremost figure in
this comedy of fraud and tragedy of
freedom has followed his great enemy.
Cecil Rhodes, into peace.
Few men have been more generous
ly praised or more brutality abused
than this taciturn Oalvinist burgher,
with the muscles of steel, the heart of
oak, the courage of lion and the
faith of martyr, who threw down
the gage of battle to the mightiest
empire the sun has ever shone upon.
The very key to Kruger's unbend-
ing character was revealed in that
message to The World in which he
declared: The republics are deter
mined that if they must belong to
England, price will be paid which
will stagger humanity"
And he kept his word. The price
did stagger humanity, and Great
Britain has not yet recovered the mil
itary prestige that withered under the
fire of the Boer rifles. Her army was
suddenly stripped of it's trappings and
exhibited to all her enemies as lath
painted to look like iron, while the
war resulted in economic and fiscal
disturbances which will remain to
harrass British craftsmanship for many
year. The mischievous Chamber
lain propaganda is part of the price
that England is still paying for the
privilege of sitting the republics.
The bills are likely to keep coming in
for a generation, while the importa-
tion of Chinese coolies into South
Africa promises to make new race
problem more potent for mischief than
any that has gone before.
The law of compensation is inexor-
able, and had the broken old exile
fully appreciated all the evil, actual
and potential, that has come to Great
Britain with that war Of extermina-
ton, the SCARED and stiffening finger
in the final moments of life must
have marked the twelfth chapter of
Romans in his we'll beloved Bible
Vengeance is mine: / will repay,

News comes from Chicago that the
Democratic campaign managers do not
want to have Bryan take the stump,
They seem to want to keep him as
still as possible, inasmuch as every
time he says anything in a political
way he rubs it into Judge Parker and
his hackers in no gentle terms. Bryan
says he will vote for Parker, but in
stating why he shall do it he manages
to make the reasons why he shouldn' t
more prominent than those which he
says decide him to do 80. Probably
the campaign managers wish the
shroud of silence was about Bryan in
stead Of Parker.

Dom Paul Kruger has gone across
the great river. No more picturesque
character has been in the worlds eye
for long time than was he. Honest,
courageous, obstinate, bigoted, plain
spoken, simple of dress and manner,
with face which made him an easy
target for the cartoonist, he will ]oug
be remembered for the part he played
in the little South African republic.
If the world had no better men it
would not be badly off but if it had
no worse there would be change in
deed. He fought and lost. Perhaps
he was right and perhaps wrong. In
either case Dom Paul will be remem
bered.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
says: 1t is perhaps somewhat
ungrateful Office to criticise such a
sacred thing as an inscription to the
memory of a martyr. But it does not
seem right that on the slab of Yer
mont marble to Horace Tracy Pitkin,
killed at Paotingfu by the Boxers,
this should be given place: Whose
ever shall lose his life for my sake
and the gospels, the same shall find

said the same shall find it. This

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD WORLD
PEACE.

The visit OF King Edward to the

hension through England, where the
Venezuelan mess and the Bagdad Rail
way ENHANCEMENT were recalled as
the fruit of previous royal meetings.
Permanent freedom from the Ger
man yoke,' exclsims the National
Review in it's latest issue, can only
be secured at the price of eternal
vigilance. Therefore, whenever Ger
many visits England or England visits
Germany, it must be proclaimed by pen
and tongue that it is the unsuitable
determination of the British people to
have no political dealings with Ger
many"
The announcement that Lord Lans-
downe has concluded an arbitration
treaty with Germany on the lines OF
the Anglo French agreement has been
received by such critics as the confir-
nation of their worst fears. They say
that England has been trapped again.
But the prejudice expressed in such
criticisms is overdone. An srbitra-
tion treaty is not political arrange
ment. 1t does not bind the contract
ing powers to any common policy. II
is merely guarantee of peace. and
