PREAcHER AND POLITICS.

What is the place of the preacher in
 politics? Out of it, would perhaps be
 the answer of most of those who know preachers and politics. The Rev. Her. bert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati wouldn't answer this way, although he is just getting out after three years of active
 political work. He has made a public
 statement to the effect that he under
 took active political work solely for the
 purpose of aiding Mayor Johnson in
 organizing movement in favor of tax
 reform within the Democratic party,
 because no one else was ready to take
 up the task. He goes out because the conditions have so changed that the
 work is likely to go on as well without his longer service as with it, and he has
 no aspiration for political office. His three years of work has, he says, been
 worth everything to him. T have had
 a shocking revelation of the weakness |of human nature. have also come to know men whose character and patriot
 ism outweigh all the discouragements, and leave a balance on the side of
 faith in man and hope for the repub- |lic" He says further that ''the only man who can afford to be active in politics is he who does not want office and is indifferent to political honors." He holds that it is the business of the preacher to inspire such men to take an active interest in public affairs men who, If they live to hear the glad lvoices of the reapers, will find reward enough in the knowledge that they helped to break the ground and SOW ithe seed
 Brother Bigelow prudently says If. :" The glad voices of the reapers would Indeed be pleasant to hear, but the in dications are that the bad voices of the ward-workers will be heard for some time yet

 ture, but for decades it has been out of use as hostlery. It does not appear in the list of hotels given in the City Directory of 1850. The name Of tavern" has adhered to it, though an effort was made to change it to 'The Broad Street Hotel" In this it showed an unchangeablenes unlike the Wash ington tavern, which changed to the Central hotel, then to the Monument, then to the Captol, and then to the St. Claire. Indeed, it may have had many other titles, but we believe that through nearly all its history it was used as a place of public entertainment. During a part of the war the confeder- lacy quartered one of it's bureaus there.

building in the case of newcomers was only granted after a secret ballot among existing members. The possible gravity of the situation was recognized by the Wesleyan Conference recently held at Durban, when a resolution was passed deprecating the activity shown by the leaders of the Ethiopian move ment. These men. however, have not ceased to preach their doctrines. Other reasons are given for unusual agitation among Zulus. Swazis and other tribes. As matter of fact, it is said. the na- tives have not yet recovered from the demoralization caused by the war. and the large sums of money which came into their possession. If they could be organized for concerted action serious situation might arise; but nothing of the kind seems to be expected by per- sons best qualified to express an opin- ion on the subject.
 Of course little, and even big, kicks against the domination of the all-con- quering white race are occasionally to be expected, but it's mission, which is to possess, civilize and Christianize the world, will not be seriously stayed by them.

KANSAS AGAIN oALIs FoR HELP.

Again the call for help comes from
 Kansas. Last year the Kansas wheat
 grew so fast and so much that it got
 away ahead Of the farmers and when
 harvest time came there were queer scenes in the queer State. Help was
 so scarce and in so much demand that
 tramps who could be made to work were respected and almost worshipped.
 Trains were stopped and people kidnap- ped and set at work in the wheat fields And so forth and so on. Now the wheat fields are ripening and the call for help is swelling. T. B. Gerew, of the free employment bureau, says that 2O,- 945 hands are wanted. D. W. Blaine, of Pratt, is figuring out the apportionment |sas City is arranging the railroad schedules, and the call for volunteers Twill soon be published throughout the Hand. The payis good and the food and are the best. Inexper- fenced hands are sure of S1.50 a day. ICapable stackers can get $2.5O, while teams will be given $3 to $3.5O day, land food and lodging for beast and man are free.
 Great is Kansas. So great that she 
 finds difficulty in living up to her great mess. All aboard for the Kansas wheat fields!

uNR EST IN SOUTH AFRICA.

There are so many movements" in the world that it is not surprising that there is a native movement in South Africa. It is said that at the bottom of it is the doctrine of Ethiopianisim, an importation from the United States, which, under the guise of religious teaching, breaches the doctrine of Afri- ca for the native races. Owing to the indifference of former Cape ministries, the movement established a firm foot ing in that colony and thence spread over the whole of South Africa. Recent ly efforts have been made to restrict it's progress, the Natal government having gone so far as to remove some negro agents coming from America. The character Of the movement is indicated by, the fact that in one of the churches established in Natal admission to the

 Of course every boy born in this coun- try has a chance to be President, or, at least, a chance to be inspired by the notion that he has. And boys who are not born in this country but are caught young and brought here occa- sionally stumble on to something pretty good. Tor instance. the Kansas City Journal tells that something like twenty years ago there lived in Topeka a young man named Louis C. Paniz- zardi. In the beginning he was en- pIoyed by an American Ca Kansas law yer). who brought him from Italy, his native country. Very soon the Kansas lawyer lost his money and turned the lad ont to hustle for himself. He hus- tied. At first he did any kind of work that was obtainabie. Then he secured a clerical position with Mir. ". I. Way who was assistant to the general man ager of the Santa Fe company. Pretty soon Panizzardi was holding a steno- graphic position with Mir. Way. Then he took a like position with MT. W. F. White. who was then at the head Of the passenger department of the Santa Fe. After awhile the work on which he was engaged was transferred to Chi cago. While with the Santa Fe in Chi cago the Standard Oil people made his acquaintance and induced him to go to Europe for the Standard OH companies abroad Now MT. Panizzardi is presi- dent of the Standard Oil companies in Europe, has an office in each of the great cities, owns an old convent for a home overlooking Lake Como. and of course has the wolf ''bucked and gagged. Before Mir. Panizzardi left Kansas he had won the hearts of all booklovers ana artists who knew him by his wide reading and knowledge of books and by his unusual artistic at- tainments. He is now able to enjoy all that the world offers in this line.
 There is a great deal of encourage ment for boys in this country. More. we sometimes think, than for the par ents who know the boys, or think they do.

TOO eooD AND roo MUCH.

This is a hard winter. So hard that even the ice feels it. We read that the Iicemen on the Maine rivers are com plaining because the ice is so thick that it is hard to handle. They are depress- ed also by the abundant crop in other parts of the country, and will not store up. this winter. much more than is needed for home consumption.
 The young and innocent would be apt to think that much and thick ice would please icemen. but it doesn't. It sad dens them because they are always looking ahead to the next summer when they will want it understood that ice is ice. And as there is so much and such thick ice this winter they want it understood now that it costs money to get it in, and that they can't afford to get in enough of it to make it cheap next summer. Let's humor them, es- pecially as it wont make any difference whether we do or not. Let's be sorry for their winter woe, even if we pay for their summer blow about the necessity of getting fair price for ice. What pity that the ice crop this winter is too good. While the icemen are fixing things so that the bumper crop wont be too cheap let us wait patiently for the ruin of the peach crop.

NOT VERY DANG FRO US.

Under the familiar headline Another American Danger the Agrarian and Conservative press in Germany is com menting on the unprecedented influx of American apples this season and the extent to which they have filled and dominated all the more important mar kets in that country. There is not a fruit store or hardly market fruit stall or retail grocery shop in Berlin or it's suburbs that does not display as a prime attraction one or more barrels of Baldwins, pippins, or other standard varieties, surmounted by a placard bearing the legend, Echte Ameri- kaner." Not only this, but wagons piled with the same attractive merchan- disc patrol the outlying streets and lpeddle the American fruit at the un- commonly low price of twenty pfennigs l Give cents) per pound. This, at time when ordinary cooking apples grown
 
 six to seven cents per pound, has fur lnished an object lesson of comparative cost, quality, and flavor as between the American and European fruit which can Inot be misunderstood or ignored. The dimensions to which this special import has grown will be indicated by the fact that only few days ago the jsteamship Main of the North German Lloyd Line landed at Bremen 22, ,929 barrels and 1,54O boxes of American ap- ples, which is said to be the largest fruit cargo ever carried across the At lantic in a single vessel.
 The scared Germans may call our good apples a danger, but they will find them blessing in disguise, and not lmuch disguised either. They will like them either raw or cooked.
