A WONDERFUL RELIGIOUS
staoo DREVIVAL. sz5 49,.

One Of the wonderful events of the
passing year is the blazing mp OF reli-
gious Enthusiasm ri eht in the midst
of commercialism. Just at = time
when nations are preaching the right
of might and inexorably applying in
social and political practice the saw
age doctrine of the survival of the fit-
test comes = great altruistic awaken
ing. Curiously enough, it has started
in obscure little Wales, one Of the
corners Of the earth where "AnElo.
Saxon" Influences are not over-power-
ing. 1T promises to spread over
Great Britain and on across the seas.
Before this revival began the the CON-
mercial spirit had touched even the
churchs in Wales, and preachers talk
ed to- empty benches. "Ths gentle
heart OF Joseph jenkins, pastor Of the
Calvinistic Methodist Church at Csine-
wydd, Wales, was stirred to ito depths
by the religious apathy in his parish. :"
Like one of the church fathers of old,
he began to preach. "Soft bree yes
from Calvary began to blow upon the
parish From this centre young
men and women took up the work.

earnest preachers. a"' at.a' =. ~. Il @.
Lectures, temperance meetings,
even fairs, have been turned int pray
er meetings. Conversions up to the
6rst Of the year in little Wales num-
bered $4,000, and it is expected that
they will run to 100000. Many dram
shops and taverns have been closed.
Crime has decreased IS per cent.
Vice is disappearing from disreputa-
BILE districts. An era Of good will is
entering the churches. Yet there are
no Mysteries rs in some of the former
REVEALS. Little excitement is mani
tested 1t the meetings, but much en-
thusiasm. Excitement is discouraged.

connection with the tariff on wheat
For years the farmers have been too
that they were protected by the du'!
OF 25 cents bushel on wheat, although
the price has been fixed by the Liver
pool market and the duty has never
afforded the farmer cent ofincr~;.scd
profit This year, however. y :"o~t
age OF hard heat in the y l. nwes,
put up the price until the Am'ri' a.
farmers were receiving 90 cents more
a bushel than their brothers just over
the Canadian border OF course th.
millers did not want to pay the extra
price so they arp"ald to the Secretary
OF the Treasury to allow them 10 i'm
port the Canadian wheat, pay the out,
grind it into -four, expert it and Sc
cure, in the form of a drawback the
duty they had paid to the Govern
Eent. The Secretary ofthe Treasury
appealed to the Attorney General for
an opinion and the law officers of the
Government has decided in favor Of
the millers. Senator Hansbrough has
however, introduced bill in the
Senate which will prevent the draw
back provision Of the Dingley Act
from being applied to wheat The
fate of this bill, which is in the from
of an amendment the Sundry Civil
appropriation bill, will determine how
willing the Republican prot ctionists
are actully to pass legislation which
will protect the farmers while it some

The National Grange, Patrons OF
Husbandry, in an address to the Amer
lean people, urges all Of Uncle Sam's
sons on Washington's Birthday to
concentrate their thoughts upon the
betterment of the home, the farm and
the factory. Another reform which it
emphasizes is the following:
"Let Us stamp out graft-in bust
ness, in politics, in government. Let
US stand like rock for good old-fash-
toned honesty in all our acts and rela-
tions. Let US insist upon complete
devotion to the peoples welfare in ali
public cf1ieials, from the highest to
the lowest, that private pelf shall not
influence public acts" ....-.5 &
That is a sentiment which every
American should indorse, not only on
Washington's 9 Birthday, but every
day in the year. 1t is gratifying to
note that it is sentiment which is be-
coming more popular every year,
without respect to political divisions
Democrats and Republicans, Populists
and Patrons Of Husbandry, can all get
together on such platform. In the
early days Of the Republic grating
was unknown Not all public offic-
ials were opponents of "good old-fash,
Toned honesty" but those who prosti-
tutsd public office toprivate pelf were
few in number. "Grafting" is vice
of modern civilization. It had its
birth in the Civil War and it has -four
ished for! 40 years. There are evil
dences that the public conscience has
been aroused and that its end, 40 sys-
tenn at least, Is in sight. II the Pa
irons of-Husbandry can expedite the
end they will be entitled to the graft
tuds Of the ,public-the chief victim

The Almanac for 1905, issued by
the Baltimore "Sun," has been eceiv-

is OF great value, and ought to have q
welcome in every home in Maryland.
In view Of the stirring events Of last

in the affection of Marylanders.
