DISASTER ? POOH ! POOH !
'L3USINESS MEN CONFIDENT THAT
1 1. THEIR INTERESTS ARE SECURE ,
1' I Immediately after the election of
r President Cleveland , on Nov. 11 , 1892 ,
it - , the above headlines appeared in a
democratic paper , the New York Sun ,
, r But , was it so ?
We know only too well how business
'
men fared during 1893 and 1894. For
1895 , Dun's Review , Jan. 4 , gave the aggregate -
' gregate liabilities of trade failures at
$173,196,060 , against $172,992,556 in 1894 ,
I , J and the average per failure at $13,124 ,
! : against $12,458 in 1894. This does not
f 't look as if the time had yet arrived to

$1,100,000 , and 3lichlgan $1,400,000. A
few other states show a small increase ,
but the rest a decrease. In these seven
states the Increase is no less than $18-
57C86 , or 62.6 iier cent over last year. "
Pooh pooh the disdster ? Not yet.
Dun's Review says :
"The progress toward better things ,
which seemed assured during part of
the year , has not been sustained.
"Rarely has there been a situation so
complicated , and the near future is difficult -
ficult to forecast , "
It Is getting worse. There was an increase -
crease of $7,785,000 in the liabilities of
the manufacturing failures during the
last half of 1595 over and above the
amount of liabilities in the last half of
1594. Judging by the records of failures
published from day to day there are
stili more of the strong concerns going
under. Dun's Review stated the reason
very clearly :
"Men actually believed that the country -
try , with part of its working force unemployed -
employed , and with wages considerably -
ably below those paid before the panic ,
was going to consume more largely
than it ever had in the most prosperous
years. The consequence was a marked
increase in the number of manufacturing -
ing failures as soon as the excess of production -
duction began to appear. "
And what about all that talk of
"higher wages , " "returning prosperity -
ity , " "greater activity in the factories , ' :
"increased demand for goods , " "good
times , " that every democratic paper in
the country was falsely reporting during -
ing 1895 ? Ananias and Sapphira must
hang their heads with shame and blush
from very modesty at having had the
effrontery to pose as masters in the art
of falsifying. But democratic editors

t- - recollect that the democrats wiped out
ail the weak concerns in 1893 , imluedi-
ately after they assumed control of the
administration. That was their first
job and they did it to the queen's taste.
Now they are going for the larger and
e r more solid concerns. This is all that is
left for them to work upon.
It is the big republican states that
' . they are after now. "In seven states
the increase in manufacturing failures
far.the year was $18,570,556 , or 62.6 per

Less Money in Sight.
According to Secretary Carlisle' :

money outside the treasury was $24.27
on November 1,1S94 , and $22.72 a year
later , a decrease of $1.55 per capita during -

t
Y childhood clays
with light I
crown ,
Those days when
father vent teAl
Al town ,
While we down by
the little gate
With longing eyes
would watch
and wait ,
Looking oft tile
lane adown
For father coming home from town.
A king to us he seemed , astride
Of ohi Black Bet that he used to ride-
His pockets all stuffed with ginger
cake
1
That dear old grandmother used to
make ,
A king , indeed , with love's rich crown ,
Was father , returning home from town.
The locust trees in the old front yard ,
Like sentinels there , were standing
guard ,
Their boughs above us softly spread
To shade each little one's curly head ,
As we stood there as the sun went down
Waiting for father to come from town.
We knew he would bring us ginger
bread ,
For grandmother to us oft had said ,
"I'll fix you little ones sweet a cake
And put it on the stove to bake ,
And place on it a sugar crown ,
Whenever your father comes to town. "
So out in the yard we used to wait ,
Playing around the little gate ,
Out in the shade of the locust trees
Where sung the birds and hummed the
bees-
Watching with eyes of blue and brown ,
Watching for father to come from
town.
How softly did fall the evening shade ,
How sweetly the twilight did come and
fade ;
But we were not watching the soft blue
skies-
Adown the lane we kept our eyes ,
And watched through the twilight
gathering down-
Watching for father to come from town.
Across the past I turn and gaze ,
Across the past through the gathering
haze , '
Through years of sorrow and years of
strife
That hang like clouds around' my life ;
But through the shadows I go to crown
Those days when father came home
from town.
A Praying Engineer.
In an account of a ride en a railway
locomotive , a writer in the Arena
describes the man who held the throt-
tle. If there were more of his kind
there would be even fewer railway accidents -
cidents than there are. He said :
"Some weeks ago it was my privilege
to ride from New York to Albany on
the engine of the Empire State Express.
The engineer was a little , bronzed ,
weather-beaten man of near fifty. I
showed my permit , and without a word
he motioned me to the fireman's seat
in the cab. He ran around his engine
with oil can in hand , then climbed to
his place and waited for the conductor's
signal to start. I was watching , too , and
back in the crowd I saw a hand swung
aloft ; and the engineer turned and
made a quick motion , seized the lever ,
and we were off ,
"For' exactly three hours the telegraph -
graph poles sped past and we rolled and
thundered' onward through towns , villages -
lages , cities , over switches , crossings ,
bridges , culverts , and through tunnels
and vfadttcts at that terrific rate of a
mile a minute. The little man at the
throttle looked straight out ahead at
the two lines of glistening steel ; one
hand on the throttle , the other ready
to grasp the air brake. I was not
afraid , for I saw he was not. He spoke
not a word , nor looked at me nor at the
fireman who worked like a Titan. But
I saw that his lips kept moving as he
forced the flying monster forward.
"At last we reached Albany. What
a relief it was ! My nerves were un-
strung. I had enough for a life-time.
The little engineer had left the cab and
was tenderly feeling the bearings. I
turned to the fireman :
" 'Bill , why does he keep moving his
lips when there at the lever ? '
" 'Who-th' old man ? Why , don't
you know ? He allus prays on a fast
run. Twenty years he's run on this
accident-the pluckiest -
oad with never an
iest man that ever kicked a guage cock
he is. '
Result of a Word.
Aother incident illustrating the tremendous -
mendous results that may follow a few
words uttered in a moment of time is
related by the Classmate :
He had done several little errands for
the gentleman in the Pullman car , and
as the man got off he slipped a dollar
into his hand.
"I like your looks , Jimmy , " he said ,
kindly. "Now , remember that you can
make yourself whatever you wish. I
don't mean by that that you may become -
come a Vanderbilt if you desire , or the
president of the United States ; but I
do mean that you can be something
better yet-a Christian man. Don't forget -
get that. "
It was ten years later before the two
net again. Then Jimmyy had just been
made conductor' on an important road ,
and in one of the passengers he recognized -
nized his old-time friend. The gentleman -
man had changed but little in the ten
e
i
f
R
y cars just passed , but it was hard to
persuade him that the fine-looking
young conductor was the ragged train
boy of whom he still retained a faint
remembrance.
But I certainly am he , " Jimmy asserted -
serted energetically , "and I've always
wanted to tell you how much your
words and your kindness did for me.
I'd been getting into low company and
growing sort o' wild and reckless , but
your words just haunted me , and I got
to wondering if that kind of thing paid.
I concluded that I'd rather grow up a
Christian man , as you said , than a
drunken loafer , so I just stopped short
and commenced over in dead earnest. "
"And all that was the result of a few
sentences , forgotten as soon as uttered , "
said the gentleman , thoughtfully. "It
just shows what a mighty power for
weal or woe our chance words may be ,
and how we ought to guard them. "
His 1'rayor was Answered.
Eli Perkins tells the following anecdote -
dote which was related to him by Bishop -
op Vincent :
"The sweetest death I ever saw , " said
Dr. Vincent , "was that of a little boy. "
"How was it ? " I asked.
"Well , part of the wall of a burnt
house , " said the doctor , "had fallen on
a little seven-year-old boy and terribly
mangled him. Living in the neighbor-
] rood I was called to see the stricken
household. The little sufferer was in
intense agony. Most of his ribs were
broken , his breastbone crushed , and one
of his limbs fractured in two places.
His breathing was short and difficult.
He was evidently dying. I spoke a few
words to him of Christ , the ever-present
and precious friend of children , and
then , with his mother and older sister ,
knelt before his bed. Short and simple
was our prayer. Holding the child's
hand in mine , I repeated the children's
gospel , 'Suffer little children to come
uuto me and forbid them not , for of
such is the kingdom of heaven. ' He
disengaged his hand from mine and
folded his. We rose from our knees.
His mind began to wander. He called
his mother. 'I'm sleepy , mamma , and
want to say my prayers. '
" 'Do so , my darling , ' replied the sobbing -
bing mother.
" 'Now I lay me-down-to sleep ,
I pray thee , Lord , my soul-to keep-
If-I-should-d-t-e- '
- - - -
"And then he was beyond the river
of death. "
Revive the Singln ; School.
Mr. A. J. Showaiter makes a strong
plea in "The Music Teacher" for the
singing-school as a means of bringing
the young men into closer relations to
the church. He says : i
The singing in ourr churches , Sunday
schools , and the weekly meetings , especially -
cially the weekly meetings , is in a deployable -
ployable state. Go to the prayer meet-
iIlg of the average city church and you
will realize the truth of our statement.
1The young men if they are there are
oicupying ; seats in the back part of the
room. They listen to what is said , take
little or no part in the singing , and then
go home ! How cold ! How formal ! How
spiritually dead , and yet bearing the
outward appearances of life !
A singing school sustained by the
church and under the instruction of a
competent teacher is a powerful instrumentality -
mentality to change all this and put
new life in a whole congregation , .
Above all other agencies it is the best
to start the young people along the
avenue of spiritual activity. Let a
singing school be organized and sustained -
tained by the church herself in every
city , town , and hamlet church ; let more
than the usual attention be given to
the young men and soon there will ,
arise from the courts of Zion an anthem -
them of praise that will be a sure token
of a new spiritual era.
The Value of tlio Soul.
The National Temperance Advocate
tells of a publican and his wife who attended -
tended a .religious meeting , when the
preacher's text was , "What shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole world
and lose his soul ? " and were convinced
of sin and their need of a Savior. The
wife made no secret of her desire to
be at peace with God , but the man tried
to hide his strivings of conscience. At
night in bed he tossed restlessly about ,
and sighed and groaned , but his wife' '
knew what was the matter. It was the
public house. "Jim , " said she after a
while , "how much do you reckon you
make a year by the house ? " "Three i
hundred pounds , " he replied. "How '
long is it to run ? " "Twenty years or
so. " "Then that means 6,000 , eh ?
How much do you reckon your 'soul ! s
worth , Jim ? Is it worth 6,000 ? " Jim
was quiet for a few minutes , then he
paid , "I shall put up the shutters tomorrow -
morrow , " and went to sleep , and the
nett day took measures to abandon his ,
trade as a publican. ! ,
Dlscc uragIng a Boy.
A boy eight or nine years old stood at !
the corner of 'Brush and Elizabeth
streets the other day with head up and
arms folded. He had. three lien's feathers -
ers stuck in his cap. He had a bow
slung to his back , and in a quiver made
of buffalo hide he had three or four ar-
l
IOWS. In his belt was the family bread ,
knife , and in his right hand was a war
club. As he thus stood , casting his
eagle eye about him , a telegraph boy
came along and stopped and looked him
over. The inspection lasted a full min'
ute and then he asked :
"Playing Injun ? "
"Yes. "
"Got a name ? "
"Red Cloud. "
"Humph ! No go. "
"What's the matter ? "
"You have been eating bread and but-
toy with sugar on it and forgot to wipe.
off your mouth ! Better stay in the back
yard and scare the baby ! You're no big
Injun ! "
A lump of sugar saturated with vinegar - .
gar is highly recommended as a remedy.

CIVIL SERVICE DISCUSSED.
A Request From Secretary Carlisle
: PreeIpltares n DCbntc.
WASIIiNGTOx , Feb. 13.-A discussion !
of Secretary Carpsle's observance of
civil service methods came up to the j
Senate yesterday late in the session '
on a provision of the d'eficicncy bill
for the appointment of twenty-five c : i
pert money counters. 31 r. Chandler
sarcastically pointed out that the
Secretary's letter requesting the
twentyfive counters asked that ho be
given the selection , as the civil service
commission was not abic to furnish
the crass of counters required. It was
. thus discovered , said Mr. Chandler , I
that the civil seryico commission had
broken down and was so feeble and
dilapidated that it could not furnish
t mon ° v counters.
Mr. Lodge , Republiean , Massachusetts -
setts , said there was no decreptrtude
in the civil service commission. This
request of the Secretary was due to
his desire tocontrol the appointments. i
I Mr. Allen arraigned the civil service
system. It would in time turn over
our Government service to a lob of
"cigarette smoking dudes. " The Sea- '
ator said the two frauds of the public
service were the civil service commission -
sion and the inter-State commerce
commission.
Mr. Wolcott interjected a brief but
somewhat sensational speech. He
said the real menace to the country
was the power of patronage lodged
with the executive , and which had
! never before been used to such an cx-
i treme as under the present adminis-
I tration. A free coinage bill would
have passed through the last house of
Representatives had not the power of
patronage been brought to bear by
the administration. especially the patronage -
tronage controlled by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Colorado is today flooded -
ed with appointments , many of them i
unfit ones made by the Secretary of
the Treasury for Congressmen who had
"ratted" on the silver bill. Thus constituencies -
stituencies had been debauched. The
I best service that could be perform
, would be to deprive the I'resident an
his cabinet officers from the entire
power of patronage , so that no longer
Senators and Iepresentatives would
hang around the White house and cabinet -
inet offices begging for morsels of
! patronage.
At this point the Senate adjourned.
