The speaker in conclusion advocated
the practice OF temperance and the
use OF moral suasion to induce men
TO give up over-indulgence in drink.
He urged that the people of Delaware
should not have thrust upon measure
that is obnoxious to them.
Address by New York Pastor.
Sheriff Pennell was followed by Mr.
Schoenfelt, who declared that the
principal point he desired to speak on
was the assertion that the liquor traf-
fic was wrong in itself because it was
against the law of God. He said
that It was the man that must make
the man good and no law can make
a man better than himself. That
which is against brotherly love is an
evil in itself, and if q man does no
harm to his brother then he comes
within the bounds Of the law in every
respect "rhere is just as little wrong
in my drinking a glass of beer as
there is i'm my drinking a cup of cof-
fee" said the minister Whom do I
wrong by drinking moderately, not my
neighbor surely" The real trouble. he
declared. was the lack of brotherlv
love that we should have for one an
other. The greatest good that can be
done along the line of temperance is to
retain the license law and put restric-
tions on it. In our church we dis
cipline men for wrong-doing, and if
all the churches were to discipline
them there might be a different story
to be told" DR. Schoenfelt declared
that if the sale OF liquor was wrong
in one district in delaware it was
wrong in another. If LIQUOR is wrong
at all it is wrong in toto and it should
be swept away "A license law is
right" declared Mr.. Schoenfelt in con-
clusion, but law that restricts per-
sonal liberty is all wrong. say

There is homing instinct among
men as there is among birds, says the
Chicago Chronicle. 1t is pretty fact
III what may be termed innate psychol-
ogy that men as they grow old and see
the end approaching have 1; disposition
to return to the places where they were
born to await the summons. They do
not always obey this prompting: in
deed, it is disregartted in more cases
than it is needed. But the instinct is
there. It is declared by students Of hi.
ology that the love of ones birthplace is
congenital and that man who was
born near the sea, for instance, will al
ways have yearning to return to the
ocean, even though he dwells far inland
from infancy to old age. Another phase
of this homing instinct is the desire
that men experience to be buried among
their kindred. 1t is this instinct which
accounts for the transportation of dead
bodies over thousands OF miles of land
and sea that they may lie in some
country graveyard, perhaps, within
sight of a farmhouse deserted half a
century ago. The author Of "Waverly''
compared the course of man through
the world to that of a hare, which Is
started from her form and after long

point has been reached where invest
ors no longer are willing to place their
money in railroad stocks, it must be
admitted that a serious crisis has
been reached. The figures given by the
president of the Great Northern show
conclusively that the railroad business
has increased at a much faster rate
than the railroad companies have been
able to prepare for. According to Mr..
Hill, the trackage of the country is
now entirely inadequate to handle the
traffic. This is particularly true in re-
lation to terminal facilities at the great
centers. Mr.. Hill complains that it is
almost impossible now to acquire ade-
hibitive prices placed on land at such
centers. The question is serious one
that calls for deep study. Groundless
agitation will never solve the problem.
Mr.. Hill knows more about the real
facts of transportation than all the pol
iticians in the country combined. A
frank statement from him should re-
ceive careful and deep consideration.

by returning to the nest from which
she started Like the wounded deer,
man yearns to reach home to die. Any
east -bound overland train contains evil
dence Of it in the poor consumptive
who, having vainly sought the climate
Of Arizona or California in the hope
Of prolonging life, turns his face home-
ward when all hope is at an end. Co
ing home to die" is one Of the saddest
sights in life. Collateral to this in
stinct and akin to it in origin is the
desire which city men Of country birth
experience for rural life as they grow
older. This ycarning for the country
is, indeed, not confined to the country
bred. Nearly all men experience it
and this is the result Of atavism-in-
herited love FOR tho soil persisting
through many generations Of city
dwellers. AS man grows old he de-
sires to so back to nature. So that
in these things, as III many others, we
are really not free agents, but the
creatures Of heredity, governed liter
ally by the instincts and tendencies
Of ancestors dead for centuries. Our
forefathers live in us and it is a pic

The number and extent of the vacant
farms in Ireland startles the econo-
mist, says the N. Y. Irish-American.
Official agricultural statistics recently
issued give no information as to the
size of some of the colossal ranches in
ireland beyond a record of the num-
Der of tcnancics exceeding 500 acres
each. or these ATS arc in Connaught,
425 in Leinster, 352 in Munster, and
only ga in Ulster. The greatest num-
Der, it will be observed, are in the
poorest province. There arc now only
one-fifth of the number Of holdings
under five acres that existed sixty
years ago, and Of those of between five
and Is acres about threc-fifths are left.
The number over Is and under so acres
nearly doubled between 1S41 and 1851,
but there has been some diminution
since. This is melancholy record.
Surely something could be done to
keep the people on the land!

Next week the election will be held
in Germany for members Of the
Reichstag The Emperor and his
Prime Minister, Won Bulow, have
raised the cry throughout the Empire,
Down with the Catholics, Socialists
and Poles" 1t is a peculiar situation
which places two such opposite forces
as the Catholics and Socialists in one
camp. 1t is not the choosing of either
party that they are thus classed to-
gether by the supporters of the Em-
peror. The Centrum Or Catholic Par
ty has for years conservatively sup.
ported the Emperor and his govern
ments. The break came because that
party refused to vote for higher army
appropriations. Won Bulow wishes,
also, to be independent of the Cath.
Ollie Party. The Centrum in the last
Reichstag contained larger number
of representatives than any other single
party. If it retains its own in tho
coming election, Won Bulow will have
to do as I3ismark did-lnake peace
with the Catholics of the Empire. Bis
mark had more ability by far than
the present minister and yet he was
forced to enlist the aid OF the Gen.
trum Party TO fight the growing forces
Of Socialism. The elections will de-
terlnine whether or not the Emperot
can get along without the support of
either the Centrum or the Socialists.
AS was to be expected, an attempt has
been made to unite the Protestants OF
Germany into one political party. OF
course, if this could be done, they
would easily control the situation, as
they constitute about two-thirds of the
German Empire. The Emperor and his
advisors are finding it difficult to unite
the Professionals in opposition to the
Centrum Party in view of the fact that
the latter party is working to reduce
oppressive military taxes.
