Mr. Morgan tells uc that Noah organ ized the first trust. And he watered his stock, too. Late dispatches from London bring the news that Editor W. T. Stead’s grouch is still on. Royalties on Wagner's operas last year paid $115,000. Yet some Euro pean royalties never pay. Spain has no other statesman the size of Don Praxades Mateo Sagastte. now, unhappily, deceased. The king of Portugal is an expert cook. It may be therefore that he is a hero even to the hired girl. Even with his record of $20,000,000 in gifts in 1902, we fear Mr. Carnegie is richer than he was a year ago. In solte of all the praise it has taken in, the new cable to Hawaii is working as industriously as a vet eran.

Bret Hartc left an estate valued at $1,800—almost as much as a captain of industry can earn in twenty min utes when conditions are ordinarily favorable. It seems to be generally allowed that the gorgeous scene on the plains at Delhi has never been surpassed by any spectacular performance on any modern stage. A New York boy found a gold brick in Wall street the other day. Let us hope, however, that this will not result in a general hunt for Wall street gold bricks. A New York girl asked seven young men to take her to the theater, just as a joke. But as she took the entire seven and paid the freight we fail to see the laughinr point. Max Nordau inclines to the view that the American people are also de generates, this opinion fitting In ex actly with his theory that degeneracy has overtaken everybody except him self. Peru and Bolivia have decided to arbitrate their boundary dispute. Both countries probably have so many revolutions going on that they can’t afford to bother with an ordi nary war.

It appears that one of the life in surance companies has bejm paying taxes on some of Hetty Green’s prop erty by mistake. Let us hasten to ex plain that Hetty made no complaint on account of the error. Some comment has been excited by the action of the Chicago gentleman who shot his prospective son-in-law. The truth probably is that the pater nal one deemed it moro advisable to shoot the youth than to support him. A man who amassed a fortune of $100,000 as a result of twenty years ol’ industrious begging, has just died In Canada. The chances are that ho'll have to beg a lot more before St. Peter lets him through the pearly gates. Nine small Doys have died in one eastern town from lockjaw as the result of playing with toy pistols at Christmas. But what do you think of the sanity of any parent who put a toy pistol into the stocking of his booeful son? MUST BE NATIONAL GENUINE PROTECTION IS THAT OR IT IS NOTHING The Doctrine Is One of Broad and General Application and Must Not Be Made an Instrument of Favorit ism to Special Sections or Interests. The article, “Protection a National Doctrine,” in "Gunton’s Magazine” for December, is worthy of thoughtful perusal by all who are in search of information and argument relative to protection, its aims, its scope and its effects upon the material prosperity of the people of this country. In this presentment of the subject Prof. Gun ton has completely succeeded In dem onstrating alike the fallacy and the folly of considering protection as an instrument of favoritism to special sections or interests. The doctrine, he urges, must be one of broad and general application to the nation as a whole, to all industries, all inter ests. It is either that or it is nothing. It will fall and deserves to fail. Ex actly in point is the extract from a recent address by Gen. William F. Draper, the head of the great textile machinery plant at Hopedale, Mass., a distinguished business man, a cap tain of industry, a clear thinker and forceful writer on economic subjects. Well and truly Gen. Draper declares: “When the Republican party ceases to be a Protectionist party, it will be beaten, and deserves to be, as, if the people wish to try another free trade experiment the Democratic party is the proper ono to conduct It.” And It will be so. Just as surely as the Republican party deserts the bed rock of its economic faith, Just as surely as it proceeds to undermine protection, either through special tariff legislation at th,e behest of cer tain sectional interests which clamor for free raw materials, or through a system of swapping trade privileges whereby one industry is arrayed against another industry and a large degree of foreign competition is bar gained for, Just so surely will the Re publican party ride to a fall. No political party can retain public con fidence for any length of time after it has begun to exhibit the worst of all party weaknesses—that of distrust in the soundness of its own cardinal faith. Against the folly and the fallacy of free raw materials and special treat ies Prof. Gunton’s guns are double shotted and accurately trained. New England “small talk” and selfishness come in for some effective broadsides, and so does the shortsighted and short witted policy of forcing our products upon other countries by means of special trade privileges in stead of on the sound and lasting basis of superior excellence or great er cheapness, while at the same time showing gross favoritism and unfair ness toward certain industries select ed for slaughter in order that certain other industries may have an unjust advantage. 1902, RECORD BREAKER. Extraordinary Showing of Prosperity for the Year Just Closed. With this, our last number of the year 1902, we w'ould briefly call at tention to the year’s record of un paralleled progress and prosperity. In spite of the great coal strike, the result of which is still serious, we have passed through a year of busi ness activity, of commercial expan sion, of trade movements and both individual and national success In production and earnings and conse quent enjoyment of the necessaries and comfortB and luxuries of life, such as was never before known. Our almost record breaking crops will all be marketed at good prices. Our iron and steel production has been the largest In our history, our pig iron output reaching 18,000,000 tons, almost three times that of 1894. Our railway earnings have surpass ed all previous years. Our bank clearings have again broken the rec ord. Our postal, insurance, telegraph and telephone business have been larger than ever before. Our Imports for the first time In our history will approximate $1,000,00©, 000, while our exports, though not quite equal to one or two preceding years, owing to the failure of last year’s corn crop and the extraordi nary home demand for manufactures, are yet most satisfactory. We have earned more, lived bet ter and saved more than ever before in our history. It has been the merriest Christmas and will be the happiest New Year that was ever enjoyed by any people on earth. Not all are quite happy, for the mil lennium has not yet come. The hand ful of antis are discouraged and dis heartened, while the tariff smashers* see no hopes of a materialization of their “ideas.” And yet even these mal contents and pessimists know that they are better off In every material way than they ever were before. it is the fifth full successive year that we have enjoyed this constantly Increasing prosperity. It dates from the going into operation ot tne Ding ley tariff law.' With every laborer employed full timo at larger and larger wages, has eomc Increased de mands for our varied products, even greater than can be supplied or trans ported. What a tariff lesson it is, to oe sure! No need to read Adam Smltn or John Stuart Mill. No need of tar iff commissions or hearings before the i WftJ B and Means committee, or com ^ mcrcla! *.* mwentlosc or lengthy es says. Each man's bank book tells the whole story, and there never before were so many bank books with such large balances as now. Never before were .so many millions sent home to the old countries by those who have come to make their home here in this land of work and wages. This very fact alone disproves the statements that cost of living has increased more than wages. Millions upon millions of increased wages have been granted during the last two months, added to the many increases of recent years. And happily for all, we have decided to let well enough alone for two or three years at the least.—American Economist. THE COAL DUTY. Good Reasons Why the Tariff on An thracite Should Not Be Removed. In connection with President Roose velt’s recommendation that the duty on anthracite coal be summarily abolished the following communica tion from Capt. William W. Bates, an eminent authority on all matters per taining to the American merchant marine, should be found both perti nent and instructive: “Editor The American Economist: It has been stated that one reason for putting the duty on coal, such as shipped from England to California, was that it was carried by returning ships in the grain trade at ballast rates, and unfairly competed with the coal produced by our Pacific states. But we should add to this that the British coal from its first ex portation has been monopolized in carriage by British ships through the discrimination policy of british under writers. Insurance on this coal to be carried by American ships would cact greatly in excess of the rate by British ships, if such insurance could bo obtained at all at Lloyds. The object of this discrimination was pro tection of the British ship. To take off the duty of sixty-seven cents per ton would add somewhat to this pro tection by raising the freight. Now that the British ship needs protection more than ever, and we have none in this coal trade, and we are great friends of the British, shall we not help them? “William W. Bates.’* It would appear that In urging the removal of the duty on anthracite coal the President acted without due consideration of two important facts: First, that the duty of sixty-seven cents per ton on Welsh anthracite arriving at Pacific coast ports as bal last was at the time the Dingley tar iff was passed regarded as necessary for the proper protection of the coal producing interests of the Pacific coast. That protection is as neces sary now as it was five and a half years ago, and iti removal would un doubtedly be injurious to the coal mining industry of the Pacific coast states. Being brought over as ballast the delivery of Welsh coal involved practically r.o cost of transportation. It could therefore be sold at so low a price as to compete injuriously with domestic coal. Hence the imposition of the duty. Even more than it was five and a half years ago that duty is to-day justifiable and necessary, for under its protection coal mining operations have greatly increased on the Pacific coast, until at this time the industry employs many millions of capital and pays wages to many thou sands of men. Second, as so clearly shown by Capt. Bates, the removal of the duty would amount to a direct gift or sub sidy to the British ship owner, who would be thereby enabled to add at least a part of the sixty-seven cents a ton to his freight charges and still sell tlie coal at a lower price than is at present possible. We have done much by unwise navigation laws and regulations to crush out our shipping and promote the shipping interests of other countries, but it would seem to be straining matters a little too far to put up still another bar against domestic shipping and then to ask the coal producers of the Pacific coast to pay the cost. The two reasons cited, to say noth ing of the unwisdom of using the tariff as a factor in labor disputes, would seem to be sufficient to dis suade Congress from concurring in the recommendation of the repeal of the duty on anthracite coal. Declined With Thanks. f l !__ Democratic Approval. The Dubuque Telegraph, Democrat ic, thanks Mr. Cummins for his inter pretation of the “idea,” for the reason tli at there will now be no further ex cuse "for any high protection Iowa newspapers which may hereafter af firm that it does not imply that the tariff now affords shelter to monopoly." —Sioux City Journal. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. t-ESSON V.. FEB. 1; ACTS 17: 22-34 —PAUL AT ATHENS. Golden Text—“He Preached Unto Them Jesus and the Resurrection” —Acts 17: 18—Paul's Address to the Athenian Leaders. Scene I. Paul on the Way to Athens.— Vs. 13-15. In Lesson III. we left Paul In Berea of Macedonia, where his preach ing of the gospel was having considerable success. But after some weeks the Jews of Thessalonica heard of what was go ing on in Berea, only fifty miles away, and they immediately Incited a persecu tion there as they had in their own city. Paul's friends hastened him away, se cretly. Scene II. What Paul Saw in Athens.— V. 16. Athens w'as one of the three most influential cities the world has ever known. As Paul walked around the city he found it full of idols. It was tilled with the statues of the gods. Scene III. Paul Discussing with ths Jews and Philosophers of Athens.—Vs 17, 18. As usual, Paul began to preach the gospel In the synagogues on the Sab bath. discussing and arguing with the Jews and the devout proselytes. Then he went Into the market-place and talked with any one willing to listen. Scene IV. Paul Brought before the Areopagus.—Vs. 19-21. After a time Paul was invited to speak more formally be fore the philosophers and the authorities of the city. Scene V. Paul’s Address before the Athenian Leaders.—V's. 22-31. 22. "Then Paul stood in the midst of" (the Council or Court of) "Mars' hill" (the Areo pagus). Subject: The True God, and Our Rela tions to Him. I. The T rue God, the Creator.—\ s. 23 25. 23. "As I passed by,” or “along." In his wanderings around the city. "And beheld your devotions." Not acts of wor ship, but objects of worship, such ns temples, altars, Images. "I found an altar ... to the Unknown God,” or "an unknown god." As In heathen coun tries now, they then sacrificed to gods to propitiate them, and keep them from sending trouble upon them. "Whom" (or what) "therefore ye ignorantly wor ship." Rather, whom ye worship, not knowing his name and attributes and na ture. "Him declare l unto you." or better, "this set I forth unto you.” 24. "God that made the world." Science, by its discoveries, has proved beyond a doubt the unity of God. "Lord of heaven and earth." In this sentence shines wisdom, power, omnipresence, goodness, authority. Great duties and great privileges grow out of this truth. "Dwelleth not In temples made with hands." though as beautiful as those they saw around them. In the temple of man's heart he dwelleth by his Holy Spirit. 25. "Neither in worshiped with men's hands," as idols were worshiped. God can be worshiped only in spirit and In truth, by the service of the heart. He wants not help, but love. U. The True God; the God of All Na tions.—V. 20. “And hath made of one blood.” God has made of one ancestor, or one source, or one family, “all na tions of men." All men, therefore, are brethren. HI. The True God; the Father and Friend of All.—Vs. 27. 28 . 27. "That they should seek the Lord." Rather "God," which is the best reading. "Might feel after him. and ilnd him." Paul here de Ilnes the actual position not only of idolatry, but of the modern systems of religion, such as rationalism, spiritual ism, so far as it is a religion, and all' systems that leave out Christ and an inspired Bible. "Not far from every one of us." He is only waiting for us to open our eyes that we may see and know him. 28. "For In him we live, and move, and have our being." This is true both of our natural and of our spiritual life. He is the source of life; everything around us is the gift of God. IV. The True God; the Duties We Owe Him.—Vs. 29. 30. 29. "Forasmuch then." etc. Tile argument is that we being spiritual, personal beings, with wills and minds and moral natures. It is Impossible that the author of our being should be "like unto gold, or silver, or stone," formed by his own offspring. 30. "And" (r. v.. "therefore,” because we are his offspring) "the times of tills ignorance God winked at," shut his eyes to, did not punish with the severity idolatry deserved. Sins committed in ignorance are different from those com mitted against light and conscience. They do not so harden the soul against God and good. "But now.” Since Christ has come with new light, new motives, a new message from God. “Commandeth all men everywhere to repent." To tern from their sins, and live as children of a holy God should live. v. A Strong Motive for Performing These Duties.—V. 31. “Because he hath appointed a day.” One of the times God had before determined (v. 26). “Judge the world in righteousness." Every de cision will be absolutely right and cor rect. “By man whom he hath ordained." The man Jesus Christ, whom God had ordained as the Savior of all who will believe, and the judge of all the dis obedient. "Hath given assurance," or confirmation. “In that he hath raised him from the dead." The resurrection of Christ brought assurance of the Judg ment of the world by Christ, because (1) it proved Christ's claim that he was the Son of God. (2) It proved that his teach ing was true, a part of which was that lie should Judge the world. (3) It proved the resurrection of the dead and a life beyond the grave, without which there ;ould be no judgment in the world to pome. Scene VI. The Various Effects of Paul's Discourse.—Vs. 32-34. 1. 32. “Some mocked." Paul's teach ngs were contrary both to their philoso phy and their lives, and the easiest way to treat them was to sneer at them as ;he strange vagaries of a man out of his pilnd. 2. Some delayed a decision. “We will hear thee again," putting off thtir de cision. like Felix, to a more convenient sea son. 33. "So Paul departed from among them." 3. 34. "Certain men . .•. believed . . Dionysius the Areopaglte.” A member of the court of Mars’ Hill. and. hence, a prominent and learned man. “A woman named Damaris.” For what she was noted is unknown, but she must lu.ve been a woman of distinction and power. Put Away Discouragement. The sad, discouraged Christian who *eels his shortcomings and the de generacy of the times in which he 'Ives so overwhelmingly as to take away his peace and joy needs to get out into God's pure air ou some errar.e of mercy. The Church's Enemies. The greatest enemies of the church are not her living foes, but her dying friends—not the infidels who fight her. but the Christians who fail her. MYSTERY IN HIS RECEPTION. Diplomat Puzzled at the Greeting A*> corded to Him. Tbo Hon. Addison C. Harris of In dianapolis, ex-Minister to Austria, re lated an interesting experience from the campaign of 1900 a few evenings ago at the New Willard. He had been inivted to address a political meeting one afternoon at Fort Wayne. Alight ing from the train he found himself in the center of a galaxy of expectant ycung men and women, wearing badges marked “Reception Commit tee.” Appreciating the supposed com pliment. he advanced, extending his hand, and was' greeted enthusiastic ally and Invited to go right along to the “church.” He looked confused, and said he was not aware that he was to go to any church. “Why, aren’t you the minister?” in quired one of the young ladies, naive ly “Yes, I am a minister,” said Mr. Harris, recalling his diplomatic post, “but I hadn’t expected to go to any church,” he continued s'owly, looking puzzled, “Perhaps you would prefer to go to Sister Smith’s,” said another young lady. “I don’t know Sister Smith,” re plied Mr. Harris. “I was under, the impression that I would go directly to the rink, where I am to deliver a Republican speech this afternoon.” “Oh!” exclaimed a chorus of femi nine voices, and the mystery was then cleared up by the explanation that the reception committee was at the train to meet a Baptist minister who wbb expected to address an assembly of that uenominatlon.—Washington Post. A COLD-HEARTED KING. Characteristic Remark Credited to Louis XV of France. In the old Court of France, gam bling at cards was fashionable, except wnen a particularly serious monarch was on the throne. Louis XIV played constantly; and there are plenty of pictures of him as he sat among the ladies who bestowed their favors upon him and his courtiers, chatting at one moment and hauling in his winnings at the next. There was fharm in Louis XIV even when he was gambling, but his despicable suc cessor seems to have carried to the gaming table all the cruel and selfish coldness which characterized him in other aspects of his life. While one evening he was playing, M. de Chau velin, one of the courtiers, was seized with a fit of apoplexy. Some one ex claimed, “M. de Chauveiin is ill.” "ill,” said the kind, coldly turning round and looking at him. “He is dead; take him away. Spades are trumps, gentlemen.” FLOWERS LOVE AND HATE. Claim That They Are Endowed With Passions Like Human Beings. According to a French scientist, flowers are endowed with passions like human beings, and there are few among them which cannot love and hate fervently, “They have their sympathies and antipathies,” he explains, “and if we study them closely we can easily find them out. Roses are passionately fond of some flowers, and flourish when near them. On the other hand, they speedily wither when placed near other flowers, and we must infer that it is because the latter are not con genial to them. Heliotropes and vio lets have a lively sympathy for each other, and in like manner there seems to be a warm friendship between pan sies and carnations.” “If it can be proved that flowers can love and hate,” says a German writer, commenting on this statement, ‘it ought not to be difficult to prove that they have souls.” A Girl of Discernment. Madge—You should see all the new things Tillie has. Marjorie—She told me she was making some purchases. Madge—That’s hardly a name for it. I never saw so many lovely things in my life. Why, she has a new watch, three stunning suits, a fur cloak, some Turkish rugs, one of those big revolving bookstands, and sets of all the popular authors. I wonder what it all means? Marjorie—Why, she’s going to be married at once, you little fool. Madge—I don’t know why I should have guessed that from seeing sa many lovely things in her house. Marjorie—You would have, my dear, if you had known as much about them as I do. She has bought them all on the installment plan, and it will bo up to her husband to make good near ly all the payments. A Remarkable City. One of the most remarkable cities m the world is Kelburg, near Cra cow, Poland, for, besides being situ ated underground, it is excavated en tirely in rock salt. The inhabitants, to the number of over 3,000, are of course workers in the famous sail mines, and ail the streets and houses are of the purest white imaginable. One of the most famous features of the city is the cathedral, carved in salt and lit with electric light, and when the late Czar Alexander visited it eleven years ago he was so fasci nated with the magnificent effect of1 the light upon the crystal walls that he presented the cathedral with a ' jeweled altar cross. Such a thing as infectious disease is unknown in Kel- I mrg—in fact, the majority of the iu j habitants die of old age. “What I Told My Wife” is the title f a new book. It is needless to say 1 ;hat it is fiction. ■ | There Is a woman in New Jersey I who needs disciplining at the hands of her outraged sex. When she found | a good servant maid determined to get married she gave up her handsome house to the bride for the wedding festivities, even to a brilliant recep tion. This encouragement of the shortage of an already slender crop of the servant girl supply by the blight ing influence of matrimony is a seri ous phase of the all-shadowing domes tic evil of the day. PREVENTS SMALLPOX. Alabastlne will not care smallpox and other contagious diseases, once they have fastened their deadly grip upon their victims. It will do much, however, toward preventing their spread. It is a well recognized fact that cer tain wall coatings do much to harbor disease germs and propagate same; that of all coverings wall paper Is tho most likely to hold the germa of disease for months and years. There are well authenticated cases where smallpox, scarlet fever and other germs have lain dormant for years, and have attacked persons afterward when the paper was removed. KalsomlneB stuck on the wall with decaying glue are not much better than wall paper with its vegetable paste. Alabastlne Is recommended gener ally by sanitarians, as a coating for walls in any style of work, as it la perfectly sanitary, Is In the nature of a disinfectant, presents a perfectly hard surface, is manufactured from a cement base, and does not furnish a lodgment ground for disease germs. Years ago these matters received but little attention, but modern sclen tista becoming appalled at the spread of the dread disease, smallpox, and the difficulty in stamping It out, have gone to Investigating causes, and un hesitatingly say that Improper wail coatings have very much to do with this. Alabastlne Is recommended to be used on all infected walls, to destroy germs and to get walls once more in a healthy condition. When a woman sues to recover for breach of promise and receives a ver dict of six cents she realizes the worth lessness of love.
