"The wing. of the seraphim.. {.

(Selected for The AdVertiSer.)
 Above 1t stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings; with twain he GOV cred his face, and with twain he GOV cred his feet, and with twain he did tly."-Isaiah VI. 2.
 In this majestic vision of Isaiah the Lord Jehovah sits upon His throne. and around Him stand these mighty fig ures. They are not angels; they are rather the expression of the forces of the universe waiting beside1the throne whom are embodied everything of strength and obedience, ready and waiting to do His will. whatever that may be.
 Since man is the noblest type of obedient power, these majestic sera- phim appear to be human in their shape. but there Is added to each three pairs of wings, whose use Is particu- larly described. They are types, or specimens rather, of strength. offering highest attitude is to stand waiting for the use God will make of him.
 How shall man stand in a world. where God sits in the centre on Ills throne? We find some answer to that question in this statement about these mighty creatures. We gather so many Impressions of humanity from poor. stunted human ,beings-poor, winglesE creatures. who strut or gE9vel In their insignificance-that 1t wiM surely do us good If we can turn for once and see the noblest image of consecrated power, and say to ourselves, This is what man is meant to be-"
 With the first pair of wings we are told that this living creature stand ing before God "covered his face" There was a glory which 1t was not for him to see. There was a splendor and exuberance of life. radiance from the Great Central Source of all exist ence which. although to keep close to 1t and to bathe his being in its abunr

PLAIN TALK FROM THE WEST.


 The tariff question bids fair to be as dangerous to the Republican Party as the silver question was to the Demo- cratic. The serried columns are scat- tered. the splendid party discipline has been broken, ths house is divided against itself.
 The latest menace is more piafiii ta K from a Western Republican. Senator Ciapp of Minnesota. The Senator is from a State in which Governor John A. Johnson has three times trouneed the Republicans. The Republican Par ty there. chastened by defeat and ad- versity. are not the arrogant adjuster of all governmental matters, answer able to nobody. as 1t is in the Eastern states. It knows of the dissatisfac- ton and discontent of the people with the course of the party. which has con- tinualIy and consistently lined up with the manufacturer against the consum- CTS, and it fears the retribution it sees and sees the retribution that 1t fears.
 Senator Clapp. out of a knowledge of these conditions in the West, dealt the Aldrich bill a heavy blow in the Senate. And what is more, he declared that if the protected interests refused to grant fair concessions to, the people. that the tariff would in the next Con- gress be revised by the consumer. who would give as little consideration to the manufacturer as the manufacturer is now giving to the consumer.
 Which would mean tarin revision by the Democratic Party.

THE sEcuLAR PRESS.

The Charleston News and Courier < finds in a paragraph published by a Presbyterian school in a religious paper of the school, a patent fact to point moral or adorIi an argument. i. This paper declares that after cars- ful examination of both the religious and the secular papers, 1t was found that The Charleston News and Courier and The Columbia Daily State. each in one issue, had published eight columns of news relating to the Presbyterian Church of South Carolina. For the week fin those two papers there were twenty-one items. or extended news notices, together with great many personals. The paper at the same time regretted to admit that in the religious journals of the Presbyterian Church of the State for that week there were only twenty lines of church news.
 The News and Courier. observing and commenting on the figures, says that it 1t not surprised, and that the moral of the matter is--read the secular pa pers if you want to get the church news The News and Courier wisely qualifies this declaration by pointing out that there Is a special field for the religious paper. on which the secular press can not expect to venture. Each religious paper is. in a measure. the voice of its church, and 1t carries an authority which is never assumed by a secular paper, n,
 The News and Courier has discovered in South Carolina condition which has existed for some time In Alabama. and which has been frequently com mented upon by active newspaper workers. The development in import ance of religious news. in the estima- ton of the men who make the Alabama papers, has been remarkable. It might be said that no other interest is now given thea space and attention of churches and their auxiliary organiza- tions
 This Is not only true of the Alabama dailies; 1t is true of the weeklies as well. The weeklies have generally q preponderance of religious news. There Are reports of sermons. notices of the movements of all the ministers, ac- counts of church socials. Sunday school conventions and many of the weeklies are publishing numerous letters on re- ligious topics No man who has watched the trend of newspapers in Alabama can fail to be impressed with the increased attention paid to church and religious organizations.
 There are two causes underlying this, first, the growth of the church in im- portance in the social,life of the States. and. second. the purpose of the news papers to represent the moral senti- ment of their communities.

"Bury Not Your Talent... /,

s'nuEy ENON 19uE AaAEAts.~~. (By w Anderson, Supervisor of Art in
 the City Public ASchooTs.)
 The parable of the talents. although 1t was spoken a,900 years ago, Is of as strong importance today as then. The man or woman. who buries his or her talents Is, in this strenuous age, very likely to retrograde in material wealth and mental value. Cultivate that tai ent you possess, a talent which at the present time Is perhaps lying dormant 1t Is of absolutely no value to you in it's present condition, but only needs development to fit you for well-pay- and enable you to realize the dream of every ambitious man or woman inde- pendent of thefrowns or smiles of For tune. sse2i ssej tl-s *- Aa- s,sf
 There are many gifted men and wo- men who, in many cases are not aware of 1t. are richly endowed with artistic faculties. These people have an unde. veioped gold mine in their talent.i and vaulable almost beyond price when commercialized.
 The crude, undeveloped talent IS re- fined and separated from useless in- cumbrances. and the result is the de- velopment of ''the highest good that, is " As for myself, I love Art for Arts part with the ability which have to do these things. Where is the man or woman who knows nature as we'll as the artist-who can sit with pencil. 4O manent form beautiful sunset, land scape, waterscape. meadow scene, a beautiful flower. or a portrait.
 Where is the individual who can see and enjoy nature in all her grandeur. as can an artist7 What must be the feelings, in after years, of the person who. having the natural ability to be- come an artist, neglects using the gift which nature has bestowed?

 Since taking up art as my life voca. tion. have always found more than I could possibly do, awaiting me, at the best of prices. There is no reason why any one who possesses talent cannot accomplish all that I have accom- plished. in this ennobling profession.

TO KEEP UP HIS FIGHT FOR
14-FOOT DEEP CHANNEL FROM
CHICAGO SOUTH.
By John SNURE.

The question Of a deep waterway
from the lakes IL the Gulf will be one
Of the burning issues before the Senate
and House next winter 1t begins to
look as II for some time to con0e the
question Of river and harbor improve
ments in the United States on a great
scale would hinge on the disposition Of
this deep waterway proposition.
Far from being a merely local ques-
ton, II is looked On as a certainty that
the proposed deep waterway viii become
Of national importance and that the ad-
vOcates Of the deep waterway will be
able to hold hack river and hArbor leg
islation and Canalization unless they
succeed in getting what they want from
the Government.
The army engineers have Just report
ed in opposition to the proposed deep
waterway. That -. they have taken
the position that the proposed water
way is feasible, but that Is a CONNER
ciaI proposition it would De a bad in
vestnent.

THE NEW YORK POILSMAN
SUDDENLY SEES THE LIGHT!

So the reformation of the New York
customs house requires a civil pension
list? Few of US expected it would
come that way. Yet there is some jus
tice in having the very type of Con-
gresham who has inveighed oratoricaI-
ly against increasing the burdens of
the Government" take the center of
the stage in behalf of 'these poor fell
lows who have given the best yearu
of their lives in the Government"
The collector of the port of New
York is appointed to collect customs.
He is not appointed to superintend an
old mems home. That he has been
made to serve as an intendant instead
of an executive explains in part the
ease with which the American Sugar
Refining Company has stolen the duty
on thirty pounds of raw sugar out of
every 1000 pounds weighed It ex-
plains also why figs and cheese have
been largely brought into this country
without payment of duty. and how it
has been possible to convey through
out the force so easily an impression
that "a, wouldn't do to press the Sugar
trust too hard"
Now comes Mr.. Loeb. Among other
ornaments" he finds seventv-three
pensioners. There is no authority of
law for keeping them at work without
keeping them working. Yet IS were
day inspectors at 81, s25; 80 were night
inspectors at SI,460, Is were assistant
weiShers at So a day. Many of these
men were veterans of the civil war.
Many of them had done efficient serv-
ice in the customs house. What was
new collector resolute to enforce the
law to do with them?
The answer made by the President.
the Secretary of the Treasury. and
the collector is a reduction in wage.
This does not net the Government any
increase in efficiency. It merely les
sons the Governments outlay for
services that are not performed.
No non governmental business would
have treated the problem in this way.
The Pennsylvania railroad has, indeed,
set fine example in way directly
opposed. It has created pension fund
and used it as an incentive to better
service during the years of the EN-
ploye's greatest activity. But this Is,
perhaps, the best that can be done. IF
anything better is to be had it must
come from Congressman like those
now setting up the howl in New York
because their constituents are no long
er to clog the heels of efficient admins

The attitude OF the deep waterway
advocates is that the army engineers
know engineering and what is a feas-
ible engineering proposition but that
when it comes TO commercial and BUSH
ness calculations they are lost in the
fog of theory.
The man who now looms up as the
foremost advocate Of the deep water
way is the new Senator from Illinois
Billy LOrimer, of Chicago. Mr. Lori
mer has reached Washington fun of
enthusiasm for the deep waterway. He
has not yet been sworn in as Senator
ana for the present is member Of the
House.
Will Enter the Senate.
But as soon as the tariff has reached
the stage that will permit him to do
it, he will enter the Senate. 1t may be
expected that as a member of that
body Mr.. Lorimer will advocate the
deep waterway in season and out of
season.
He has back Of him the sentiment of
his State. the sentiment of the great
city Of Chicago, and the ambition to
accomplish something that as he sees
II would rebound to the immense ad-
vantage of the Mississippi valley. Mr..
Lorlmer has a way Of getting what he
goes after and his quest of the pro
posed deep waterway is going to be one
OF the interesting phases of affairs at

FORESIGHT FOR OUR SCHOOL
BUILDINGS AT LAST

Order may yet come out of the chaos
which has surrounded the building of
school houses for the District of Co
lumbia- The Engineer Commissioner
has provided that the new municipal
architect shall submit his plans to the
Health Officer. the Board of Education,
the Electrical Engineer, and all other
officers directly interested. That the
plan is excellent is obvious. 1t is also
obvious that the arrangement hitherto
in force was as unbusinesslike as try
ing to put an automobile together by
telegraph.
