A Congress Of World Interest.

Whether we learn more from our Southern
ncighbors than they from u.s. or the reverse proves
to be the case, there must inevitably be great gain
for the peoples of the Western Hemisphere as the
result of the Pan-American Scientific Congress
which meets in Washington today for session of
two weeks. Brought into closer relationship by
realization of how much more dependent one upon
the other we have become since war became the
chief business Of Europe this remarkable gathering
of the men of most distinguished achievement of
the two American continents is event not
second in Importance even to the conferences of
the leaders in finance and commerce of the ma
tions of America, held in Washington less than a
year ago. the benefits of which already becom-
ing apparent. From every South American coun-
try and even from stricken Mexico delegates rep
resenting every field of endeavor in behalf of
human welfare and progress have come to ex-
change the discoveries they have made and the
Knowledge they have gained for whatever the
scientists of our own land. laboring for the same
ends have to offer them. Too much scarcely
be expected of such gathering, which marks
another great advance toward solidifying the IN
forests of the two continents, to the mcalculable
benefit of both. All that has thus rar been ac
complished toward the achievement of this pur-
pose is directly traceable to the work of the Pan
American Union and its director general, Mr..
John Barrett and his associates and supporters in
the two Americas. Neither the financial conference
nor the present scientific congress would have been
possible but for the preparatory and constructive
work of the an-American Union; and the recog-
milton that in recent years has been accorded its
service is i'll justice due it.
The whole world will be interested in this con-
gress at Washington, the layman scarcely less so
than the scientist.

Urgent Need Of Guns.

1t is somewhat rcassurng to be told by the
War Department that the deficiency in the coast
dcfenses is in and not in the defensive and
offensive works. 1t takes time to train the men,
but not nearly so much time it does to build
sixtccninch guns with their carriages and the en-
placements for them. But there should be no de-
lay in appropriating money Tor the sixteen-inch
that the works be armed in place of the eight, ten
and twclve-inch guns in place, and the army
should be enlarged at least enough to provide an
ample number OF thoroughly trained men to oc-
cupy the works and operate the big guns.-Phila-

The year 1890 had seen political and So

to be checked, upon the troubled Euro
pean stage.
England had managed, as always to be
beforehand with revolution. but only by
making many a radical change in her
laws
Between 1S2s and 1896 she repealed the
CORPORATION and Test Acts. removed
many Of the political disabilities of Ro-

colonies, bettered her system Of poor re-

A Biz and Paying Customer.

November short month, but it was never
thcess able to break all monthly records of the
countrys foreign trade. The total was half bill
lion dollars. Exports exceeded imports by nearly
S67 900, at the rate OF $1,000 900 900 year
against a record yearly balance before the OF
5000 100000. But stupcndous these excess
purchases of goods from the United States by the
outside world, the current rise OF exchange on
London indicates that the problem OF paying for
them is working out Gold imports above exports
in November above S57,ooo.ooo. Some $780,
600 900 worth of American securities must have

1t was in 1893 that the American Anti
Slavery Society was formed. at Phiiadel-
phia.
Not many connected themselves with
II. Slavery was rooted deep in the whole
economy OF the South: the constitution
of the Union itself was founded upon ar
rangements which took the permanence
of slavery for granted; and no man who
was not of hot crusading temper felt in
clined to give any countenance TO
movement which might. IL pushed far
enough. shake the very foundations of
the government.
But the few who gave themss Ives to
the agitation were of crusading temper.
Here and there throughout the country.
moreover, there were bodies of men. like
the Quakers. whose principles had time
out of mind been of this tenor. and who
became at Gnce their natural allies.
Petitions began TO pour into Congress
praying that il would abolish slavery in
the District OF Columbia. prohibit the
slave trade there. and break up the slave
trade between the States.
John Quincy Adams had entered the
House of Representatives in 1881. only
two years after he left the White House
as a representative Of the Anti-Masons
and Wings of his home. a sturdy and
striking figure he made. with all the dig
nifty and all the contentious strength Of
his sixty-four years upon him; and II
surprised no one. least OF all his constit-
ucmts at home that he championed what
he pleased, without respect Of parties
1t was he who presented the petitions
against slavery and stood mettlesome and
unalarmed amidst the wOrdy battles
they brought on.
II was a deeply hazardous and ominous
thing To join issue thus. though II were
only upon a petition here and there,
with regard TO this central matter OF tn"
whole South's life.

IN DISGUISE.

All, Snow-lakes, in your dress of white
You seek 10 fool ME in your flight,
But, gentle friends, have | not eyes
With which to fathom your disguise?
You're but last Summers rain-drops come
To solace earth, now stricken dumb
By Winters cold, to hold her warm
And safe against the Arctic storm.
The chilling Blast that brings you here
Rccks not the mission you hold dear,
But looks upon you host
To chain the Captive OF the Frost
But | know better, and | sec
Beneath your mask how Loyalty
You hold her free from Winters pain
Till Flowcrtimc shall come again.
