THE MORGAN OFFER.

At different times attention has been sailed to the way in which our diplo- matte representatives are forced to hus- le about for quarters in the capitals of other nations in contrast to the provis- lon that is made by other nations for their ambassadors and ministers. In stead of purchasing residences for the diplomats or owning our own legation buildings they are invariably leased and therefore subject 10 changing condi- tona Other countries invariably buy and are thus quite independent in this respect
 Interest Is therefore attached to the ofeT made by J. ?. Morgan and just transmitted by the president to congress. ny which the Morgan residence in Lon- don is offered to this government as the residence of the United States ambas- sador- This is a valuable piece of prop- erty which has for years been in the Morgan family and 1t is certainly a most generous offer when Mir Morgan ipdi- cat-s his desire to give it to this country for such use
 For a country of its size the United States follows peculiar ideas reeardine the selection. payment and housing of iis diplomats It's action is in marked contrast to other nations. It Is realized that a tremendous amount of none, could be sunk in such investments s, residences and legation buildings in for eign countries. but it is a question if I would not be cheaper in the end. pro ridinE it is done at the proper time. ii such Investments were made.

MOMENTARY ELYSIUM

TWO IMPORTANT MERGERS.

Significant is the action that has been taken by two great church conventions in this country in behalf of unity. It is not an effort to bring two denomina- tons together but the continuation of years of effort to unite two branches of the same church Gradually with the passing of those who were directly con- cerned in the breaks has there been change in sentiment In fact the issue was decided with the Civil war, but nev- ertheless have the factions held tena- ciously to their position until now
 Previous to the early '4o's the Metho- dists were under one organization. For long period before that they had been committed to oppose slaveholding, but it was at that time that a controversy arose over a southern bishop who sanc- ticned slaves in his household. Brought up in the national conference it resulted in the passage of a resolution requesting him to give up his office while such con ditions existed. The result was that the southern Methodsts went by themselves and have since remained so.
 With the Presbyterians the break came at the opening of the war when oppo- sition arose over the pledging of loyal ty of the Union at the national conven- tion. The resolution was passed and the southern churchmen organized a new assembly and took the name of the Southern Presbyterian church, and dur ing the interceding years there have been Southern Presbyterians and Northern Presbyterians. and Southern Methodists | and Northern Methodists, yet the only difference between them as denomina- tions was the stand in regard to slav. cry.
 Whatever ground there may have beer for the division on the part of those who withdrew it long ago disappeared Ii has nevertheless been impossible to brins about an understanding between the separate organizations until now but the action in the two national conventions
 indicates move in the right direction
 and the taking of step which should make much more effective organizations They are cases where time has healed
 the wounds of the past

LXV-AN ERA OF REFORM

LXv-AN ERA OF REFORM
 1s3s-Jan. 16, Arthur signed the
 Civil Service law.
 1S84-Defeated for the Republican
 nomination by Blaine.
 1Ss6-Nov. IS, Died in New York,
 aged 56.
 It is one of the pranks of fate that Chester A. Arthur, whom President Hayes put out of the New York Custom House as a spoilsman and a political bass, should find himself in the White House seven months after Hayes left it conducting a reform administration. It was the mandate, and lesson of Garheld's assassination that we must get rid of factions and spells or the government it. self might be struck down as its chief had been. Arthur saw that this was the logic of the tragedy which had thrust him into the presidency and he did his best to clean house.
 The new president ventured only once to play his favorite game of poli- tics and he received such a corrective rap on the knuckles that he kept his hand out of it thenceforth. The next year after coming to the presidency, he interefered with the republican nomina- i tion for governor of New York and die 1 tated the choice of candidate. He d i were in such state of sensitiveness that they buried the administration nominee under an unprecedented majority for the democratic candidate GroverCleve- ] land.
 | At the same time a national tidal wave submerged the republicans and swept them out of the control of the ] house. They were sadder and wiser when the old congress reassembled for 1 it's closing short session. With breath i less haste they rushed through the Civil | Service Law, which Grant, Hayes and i Arthur in turn had been vainly recom- | mending in their messages.
 i The evils of the spells system, which 1 Jackson had inaugurated fifty years be- fore and which had been fostered by all | parties, had grown with the growth of | the Civil Service. Our politics had de- generated into a scramble for offices and the. distribution of patronage had become | the principal bushes of presidents, sena- 1 tors and representatives.
 l The parceling out of jibs weighed as | heavily on his successors as it weighed on Lincoln, when his troubled look one dfy | led an anxious person to ask him if some disasA,r had befallen our army.
 ''No,'' the president explained "it is not the war that is bothering me; it is the appointment of postmaster for Brown 1 town, Ind"
 The race for preferment excited an unnatural appetite for public office, and the getting of a job was regarded as exhiIarating sport From policemen, fire men and letter carrier to chiefship and consulship, every place on the payroll of ] city, state or nation went by favor. Two endless processions forever moving, one made up of those who had been turned out or turned down and the other of those who were struggling to get in.
 Senators and representatives in Wash ington regularly made the morning

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mans Way and Gods Way.

MT. Editor Men, all men. non-Chris- tians as well as Christians have long looked forward to a golden age. Hope springs eternal in the human breast man never is, but always to be blest; But for this the natural man has no better foundation than his own desires. The Christian hope is built, however, not on human desires, but on the immu- table promise of God. The popular view of the millennium las no such founda- tion. It is altogether "of the earth earthly" God has told us how it will be, but man tries to have it come in some other way Thousands of men and wo- men throughout the world today are at work It is the dream of many a church. man. It has been expressed again and again by resolutions in church assem- blles The executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, in "A Message to Chris tians" declared: The time has come to org<ize the world for truth and right it is rather not a mere political yexpres- sion of the Kingdom of God on earth. Federated Protestantism stands commit ted to this ideal of religious information alism It is their fond belief that the Kingdom of God, the rule of Christ, the reign of righteousness, will be ushered in through the gateway of politics" As expressed by Dr. Cutlery, The world governed in liberty shall be the King dom of the Son of Cod Church union or such a work can be effected only in Christ's way by submitting in obedience to his word, by yielding to the guidance of His spirit It will never come about by religio-political methods.
 Little do the men and women who are working for this objective realize what zeal In seeking thus to save the world, zeal Intseeking this to save the world, they will work it's ruin. We are livirtg in thrilling times. History is making fast We must be on our guard watching closely every development that we may understand the issues which confront us and be able to take oue stand for Christ and the truth.

ranted. How far this may go will de- pend on the negotiations but it is real ized of course that Canada is dependent upon this country for coal, sulphur and dyes and that if it insists upon impos- ing hardships upon business activities in this country for it's own advantage it will be possible for this country to be equally stubborn. It ought not to be necessary to go to such extremes but what is fair for one is fair for the other and Canada seems to have set the pace.

THE DAWN OF A NEW HOPE

The government has made the
final appropriation for the inter
coastal canal, especially THAI p0r-
ton to connect Bayou Tech3 with
Cote B!lnaHe ray The routa
through the Hanson canal has
long been selected by the govern,
Rent and surveyed several times.
Mrs. Lawless the present owner
refuses to make a deed to the
property, and the government has
filed a condemnation suit, which
has been set for trial on the 18th.
The opening of this waterway
will put Franklin in direct com
munication with the rich gulf is
lands, and the hundreds of miles
of trapping grounds, sources Of
untold wealth to this community,
and it will be opened very soon.
The Hanson canal was open to
the public for many years, but
some rnscrupulous people abused
the privilege afforded, and des-
troyed the property Of the Han
son Lumber Co., when it was
closed and none allowed to go
through.
Several years ago, the govern
ment obtained an option upon the
property and $4,000 was the
amount estimated to be its value.
This was done when the lamented
Edward A. Hanson was at the
head Of the concern and its own
crship, after his death, reverted
to his sisters, Mrs. Lawless and
Mrs. Connolly. who still hold it.
The canal is used exclusively
for the transporting Of timber to
the mill. but it is hoped that some
arrangement will be made pro-
tecting the rights of the Hanson
in transporting their
logs through the stream, which
viii cause the transfer to the gov
without the necessity of
a suit.
Its Improvement will mean
great development in a forward
of all kinds, especial
". benefit to Franklin.--Frank-
lin Waterman.
