On the Mississippi

From the Chicago News.
 In announcing the arrival at New Or leans, from St. Louis of the Quincy. the first boat of the first regular line of river steamers to ply the Mississippi sines the old Anchor line went out of business in 1sss," the New Orleans Item declares it a "hopeful augury of the restoration of the river traffic which both St. Louis and New Orleans found so profitable in times past" The Item says further:
 We have not forgotten that it was tho steamboat which built both cities. We have not forgotten the days when our wharves were piled and damned with delightful trip by river from New Or leans to St. Louis, and thence on to St. Paul. still remember the comforts and luxuries of the roomy old vessels which made the cramped quarters of the most luxurious sleeping coach seem like the hudde of a cattle car.
 The railroads killed the steamboat. We do not want the steamboat to come back" and kill the railroads But we do want the river utilized as an equaller of freight rates, as means of cheap trans- portation for slower cargoes, and as a comfortable means of travel for people who are not in a hurry, but want to enjoy creatu comforts and leisurely survey of the passing panorama on shore.
 We have never believed that the raii- road could entirely supercede the steam- boat and the barge. and the re-establish- ment of regular river communication be- tween New Orleans and St. Louis will be. we believe. the beginning of new era of mutual prosperity.
 Tt is inevitable that the great river Will be restored to it's proper place as high way of traffic. Further. numerous rivers flowing into the Mississippi will in tina be canaled so that they may become eeec-s CTS of the stream of traffic borne on the Missssippis waters as they are feeders of the river itself
 New tides of prosperity will flow across this nation with the steady and rational growth of it's facilities for cheap water borne internal transportation of the oro1- ucts of farm and forest, mine and factory.

THE SMOKER-By Dr. w. E. Evans

smoke was thick and foul. There was no Pullman attached. In the midst of the men there was a poor fellow making fool of himself He was very drunk and was still drinking, for he had a quart of cheap whisky which he would ';on- stantly offer to the other travellers and then partake himself. As I entered the smoker he took a notion that I was professor of something, and addressing me, said: Here, professor, have drink" The professor declined. He then wanted to tell me of his distinguished family connections and proceeded so to do. interrupting himself frequently by Here, professor, take a drink,' which honor the professor always declined. I knew many of the people whose names he mentioned, and knew that he was honorably connected. He was pathetic sight. and yet. he was ndescribably fun n.y. He would talk about politics, edu- cation and religion, punctuating each subject with a draught from the quart bottle whose contents were getting very low. His tongue got thicker and more twisted as we journeyed on, and as the whisky in the bottle got less and less. He finally grew less talllative, slnnk into his seat and was soon asleep. His last utterance being, "D--n professor who won't take a drink"

Two ladies and a man came and worked at the door. 1 shouted to them in my best Italian that the compartment was a smoker This did not daunt them. They entered.

him, as the golden haze of evening ob- scures the setting sun. We have become so profoundly aware of the debt of The community to its own less fortunate ele- ments that we can barely believe that 50 or 60 years ago in England there was no sense of such debt except in the minds of few who were reckoned fanatics. It would be well for sceptics to read the story of Shaftesbury's life. Summarizing the results of it in 1885. the Duke of Ar gyll said in the house of lords, "the social reforms of the last century have not been mainly due to the liberal party. They have been due mainly to the influence, character and perseverance of one man. Lord Shaftesbury" It is added that Lord Salisbury echoed the statement as "a very true representation of the facts.'
 Shaftesbury was we may say, cradlcd in the arms of prayer. pious nurse shaped and guided the earliest tendrils of his young soul. Life began early to ap- pear as serious call to serve the wretched. He was the seventh earl with at least two famous ancestors He might have been among the greatest of party leaders, or he might have taken any of the prizes that reserved for the heirs of great houses and high privilege.

Gods poor. We see him first espouslng
 the cause of the insane, whose dumb or wailing agones had assailed an appar- ently pitiless heaven for many centuries in Europe. It is an old story how the in- sane were treated as a species of demon- possessed, de-humanzed being, whose iun- acies, manias, idiocies were plainly the vengeance of the gods and a justification for the cruelty of men. Even yet in some places I understand that the insane are committed to the tender mefcies of ignor- ant jailers and noisome cells in lieu of nurses and remedial hospitals. But in those earlier years of the last century there were few attempts at scientific, not to say humane treatment of these Vic- tims of degenerate ancestry. Indeed there can be little doubt that in many instances the sufferers were thrust into durance vile on hollow pretexts by the connivance Of authority with greed. and forced into an insane despair for the sake of the proper ty to which they were the unhappy heirs. As to the vileness of the durance there need be no question. Beaten, stripped naked and chained to wall or post, starved, killed by prolonged and hideous tortures, which were none the more bear able because they were more stupid than
 intentionally wicked, the lunatic made his appeal to this young arstocrat who rad

But he who would do things for men must brace himself to receive more kicks than ha' pence"; and the future earl was no shrinking, self-pitying coward He was the heir of that first Ashley Cooper, who had held the Stuart kings in awe, had borne the shadows of imprisonment and the gallows without fear and had died in exile without repentance.

Shaftesbury went carefully and personally into the problems of the Lancashire toiler's life. Tn debate he was ready with facts to an- swer the contemptuous generalities of his opponents.

ORD SHAFTESBURY beloved by
 costermongers and emancipated A chimney sweeps, died exactly 26 years ago. He was a great philanthropisT, perhaps the greatest of all philanthro- pists. He was great saint perhaps the greatest modern evangelical saint, the story of whose activities has probably gone further than any other single force in shaping the betterment work of tll sorts that so eminently distinguishes these days. Without Lord Shaftesbury doubt whether there would have ',een a Jane Addams. Without Lord Shaftes- bury there could hardly have been an od-age pension scheme at work in Ger many or England a child-conservation movement anywhere, an associated chari- ties organization hardly anywhere, an awakened Christian conscience in the deep and busy heart of this industrial and commercial age, an anti-tuberculosis fight aided by the trustees of public funds in Alabama.
 These are great claims. But the obser- yer of what is called the "age-spirit' and movements" of the time must always observe how important to these facts is the fact of some single life. The chosen instrument is ready, and himself creates the sentiment which afterwards obscures
