is a partisan, the number OF men IN
the country who have any real faltn
in parties is comparatively small.
For it is the issue that makes the
party, and it is entirely impossible 10
grow an issue every four years. When
the Issues does mature, however just
as the trust issue is maturing now,
men quickly forsake party for prln-
ciple. While they are waiting for an
issue they vote for men.
Prof. Smiths difficulty appears 10
have been in devOting too much Sc
robustness to the detail. This coun-
try started small and has grown
large faster than its system has de-
veloped. Consequently the system is
strained at the joints and a little out
of breath trying to keep up. But the
spirit of the country as a whole is
right. and while that remains firm
and true, the country's danger is far
more superficial than real.

Old-fashioned in Milwaukee, and, in
deed, this up-to-date pastor is quite
right in regarding that quiet way OF
doing good as entirely out OF line
with modern business methods.
But what does one give money to a
church for. anyhow-to get something
out or it for himself alone, or to ad-
vance a cause in which he thorough
ly believes? Verify, those who give
for the purposes of advertisement
may get their reward, even as the
Pharisee who prayed in public got
his. But it was the other fellow, it
will be remembered, who received the

OF humility, meekness, and honest

A PeSSimiStiC Critic.

Goodwin Smith, of Toronto. who
used to be professor of modern his
tory at oxford, and VINO was also a
good friend Of this country during
the civil war, wakes exceedingly
pessimistic over our future in an
article in the Monthly Review"
He differs from the average outside
critic in drawing his conclusions, not
from the impotence of the Federal
Government to stop strike disturb
ances, lynchings, and disfranchise-
ment, the growing power of an dig
archical and plutocratic Senate and
the perils OF imperialism-thou he
mentions all of them-but to party
rule and party strife.
In providing a method~for the cleo
ton Of a President. Prof. Smith be-
lieves that the fathers signalIy and
unhappily failed. Their intention, he
says, was that the President should
be elected by chosen bodies Of select
and responsible citizens. But he
adds, since the Jacksonian era norai-
nation and election have been per
formed by q process of national agita-
ton and conflict which sets at work
all the forces of political intrigue and
corruption. The qualification for the
nomination is no longer cminence.
but availability"
According to the professor, a ma
ton which deliberately gives itself
/ up TO government by faction signs its
own doom The party organizations,
he declares, have overlaid the Ameri-
can Constitution. Washington, he
says. abhorred party. The Republi-
can and Democratic parties are two
standing machines, waging everIast-
/ ing war for the Presidency and
/ patronage. Lincoln, with his pure
patriotism and his humantarianism,
would have found himself strangely
out Of place. The grand aim of each
party is to prevent the country from
being successfully governed by its
rival The war with Spain was no
philanthropic war. but was made to
] keep a party in power.
There is sufficient truth In Prof
/ Smiths snappy utterances to make
one pause long enough to listen to
them, but hardly truth enough to
warrant his conclusions that the
country is utterly doomed. Perhaps
It would be if we took our political
campaigns as seriously as Mr. Smith
takes them. But we don't When
there is a real threat, such as the
Bryan threat of 1896, one finds a gen,
eral awakening and decided evidence
OF public conscience. The presen
campaign. however. bears no sucl
threat, and the average American
: acknowledges it by listening com
placently TO the politicians.

The Prosperous Farmer.

Reports from various sections of
the country reveal favorable drop con-
ditions as practically universal. The
spring wheat crop of the Northwest
is the single exception to the rule.
This has been damaged somewhat by
rust, and estimaters place it below
6OO,000,0O0 bushels. The corn crop is
not expected TO fall much below the
highwater mark of 100000, 900 bush
els. Reports from the cotton belt are
encouraging. Hay and oats hold up
well.
Whatever may have happened to
the stock market of the effete East
as the result of putting d multitude
Of choice securities through the
wringer of public opinion and squeez-
ing therefrom a superfuity of water,
the farmer of the glorious West is
no longer a calamity bowler.

Advertising the GiVeTS.

Ever since theater managers first
borrowed stage curtains from France
or Italy, or wherever they did come
from, II hes been the custom Of the
more enterprising, when the hard
times came, to let out the space on
their curtains to equally enterprising
advertisers. Thus business became
the handmade of art
Evidently the Milwaukee minister,
who proposes to increase his plate
collections by displaying the names OF
the givers in the chancel on Sunday
mornings, has been taking lessons of
the stage TO heart. He shrewdly fig
ures that this method will prove at
tractive 10 the merchants Of the city.
and that consequently the church will
greatly benefit financially.
He also argues that many persons
who require an extraordinary incen-

be attracted thither by curiosity 10

POPULAR DANCES IN LONDON.

Great dancers view with dlsmay the
change which has gradually crept over
T.ondon dancing during the past rev
ssasons American cakewalks and rag
time are said to have produced a de-
,,,,,r.,IiziDg effect. At the same time one
American novation-nameiy, the TWO
stan-vbich has taken root IN the coun-
tr,- il hailed as a blessing In this
dance the man and his partner are
practically side by side. and even IN
yvaItzinE there is a growing tendency
to face ones partner as little as pos
sibIe ConsequeL there are no kicks
and fewer torn gowns.
Herr Kandt director OF the famous
Austrian blue band. is OF opinion that
tbe rag-time craze is altogether detri-
mental TO dancing.
1T requires "a very unmuSlc3i person
to dance against the time" Herr Kandt
said. and l have seen couples dancing
q sort of two-step TO a Strauss waltz. l
have also seen dancers perform a cake
walk under these conditions before
roomful of people. The steps OF the
cakewaIk are often unlike any unknown
dance. and the effect is frequently
ridiculous.
But there are many btdulii,H u'ii~V9
stin. and / find that the very best style
is to be seen at hunt or at country balls.
During The past few seasons the time
for waItzes increased so greatly 1t be-
came quite as fast as the continental
race. This season, however. there is a
tendency to slow down a little.
Square dances have gone out to a
large extent. and l am often called on
