The writer who characterizes this
disuse of the Bible, all apart from
any religious considerations, as zone
of the great calamities of the age, .
does not go too far. In former per-
iods even those who questioned the
religious authority of the Bible re-
cOgnized not only it's civilizing in
fluence but its great literary strength
and beauty. Thus Huxley wrote:
Consider that for three centuries
this book has been woven into the
life of all that is best and noblest
in English history; that it has become
the national epic of Britain, and is as
familiar and simple from John-o'-
GrOat'S house to Lands End as Dante
and TassO once were to Italians; that
it is written in the noblest and purest
English and abounds in exquisite
beauties of mere literary form, and,
finally, that it forbids the veriest hind
who never left his village to be
ignorant of the existence of other
countries and civilizations, and of a
great past stretching back back to
the farthest limits of the oldest ma
lions of the world"
The time seems to be near at hand
when the professors of literature in
the colleges will find it necessary to
inaugurate a regular course in the
systematic study of the Bible as the
greatest and most neglected of books

New York Losing Trade
New Orleans States

New Orleans States -.
The recent abandonment of the

White Star line in favor of Montreal
where grain can be loaded two cents

had the effect of opening the eyes
Of the self-centered New Yorker to
the unWelcome proof of the enter
prise and success of the Canadians in
commercial competition.
Although Montreal is a thousand
miles from the sea, the Canadian
government has for quite a long
period been spending millions of dol
lars each year making the st. Law
renee river available for steamships
Of heavy draft, and through the adop-
ton of liberal policies encouraging
the development of commerce with
the Interior of which Montreal is
now the port
The New Workers as a result are
confronted with the fact that unless
their enterprise proves to be more
than a match for the activity and
competition of the Canadians Mon
treal is sure to become the outlet not
only of the great British-American
northwest, but also of the northern
grain fields with the boundary of the
United States. Indeed the latter
are even sending their products to
the Canadian port, and the business
has grown SO large that the White
Star line found it more profitable to
withdraw and enter them in the Mon
treal trade

THE PASSING OF A GREAT AMERI-
can.

Twas said of a prince struck down,
Taller he seems in death
AS time passes and the proper pers-
pective comes greater will loom the
figure of Grover Cleveland on the
pages of American history.
The personal animosities that poll
tics engenders, the belittling Of vir-
tues that intense partisanship breeds,
the hatred that emanates from dis
appointed ambitions and foiled plans
these will be laid in the tomb of
time and future generation will
study the life of the ex-president, his
character and his deeds, unbiased by
vindictive spleen and the gangrene of
disappointment, and award to him a
place second to few, if any, of our
presidents and statesmen.
The few years that interviewed be-
tween his retirement from the White
House and his death had considerably
Modified the bitterness that his
sturdy manhood and determined adj
herence to duty as he saw it produc-
ed. But still the sting rankles in
many breasts that were filled with
hopes of personal preferment at his
hands, or the memory of defeated poll
cies rankles in the minds of those
who conceived and engineered them
in legislative halls. Death may stay
the flood of carping criticisms, the
fact that the vast public had come to
appreciate the man for what he was
may check the voice of political cal
jimmy, and the bitter minority that
has logged his career even in re-
tirement, with something akin to
malicious vindictiveness, may be still
ed, but their antipathy to the man
and to his policies will remain as a tri-
butte to his undaunted courage, to
the clarity of his vision to the saga
city that marked his career from his
entrance into the political arena to
the dying hour at Princeton.
In his death great men do him
honor But the monument of appre-
citation that coming generations will
build will far exceed any that his
own time will accord him His place
in history is secure and memorable.
