Second Day's Proceedings, Indianapolis, April 27.—The most largely attended as well as the most enthusiastic state convention in the history of the Republican party came to a close at Tomlinson Hall last night at 10:36 o'clock. As on the first day of the convention the weather conditions were perfect, and the convention hall was graced throughout the long session by the attendance of a large number of ladies whose presence lent a tone to the notable assemblage which was noted with much pleasure on the part of the delegates. Permanent Chairman Hanly called the convention to order promptly at 9 o'clock, at which hour the great hall was filled to its utmost capacity. The invocation was pronounced by the venerable Bishop McCabe, who offered an eloquent and feeling prayer for the divine guidance in the deliberations of the convention. Following this the following telegram from the Hon. A. J. Reveridge, junior senator from Indiana, was read: SANATORIUM, DANSVILLE, N. Y. Hon. J. Frank Hanly, Chairman Republic State Convention: Give to the Republicans of Indiana in convention assembled my fraternal greet- The Recorder. ang, and say to them now, more recently continued serious illness of Mrs. Beveridge could keep me from meeting them face to face, and on forth on a campaign of certain victory, led by Mrs. Beveridge, William McKinley, the last president of the 19th and the first president of the 20th century. We fight to perpetuate the prosperity his life brought to the country, to hold the domination of their blood has won for the nation, and to make the republic the greatest of all the powers on earth. No nobler purposes ever existed. We fight the judgment of patriotic citizens. Say to the publicans of Indiana that when the conflict is on I will be with them, battling at home for the honor and welfare of the nation and the onward march of the American people. ALBERT J. BEVERidge. The keynote of the campaign having been uttered the afternoon before in Chairman Hanly's notable address and the platform upon which the Republicans will fight during the campaign having been adopted there remained for the second day's session nothing but to transact the matters in hand by placing in nomination the men who will bear the banners of the party through the campaign, and the convention speedily settled down to this order of business. The gubernatorial contest proved, as had been predicted, one of the most interesting and closely contested ever known in the state. There were six candidates for this nomination, James S. Dodge of Elkhart, Winfield T. Durban of Anderson, William S. Haggard of Lafayette, Frank B. Posey of Evansville, Enoch G. Hogate of Danville and John L. Griffiths of Indianapolis. These names being placed before the convention balloting began. The first ballot resulted: Griffiths, 313%; Durbin, 325%; Posey, 254%; Hogate, 175; Dodge, 207%, and Haggard, 158. Second ballot-Griffiths, 337%; Durbin, 357%; Posey, 252%; Hogate, 157; Dodge, 101%, and Haggard, 138. Third ballot-Griffiths, 357%; Durbin, 401; Posey, 230%; Hogate, 148; Dodge, 189%, and Haggard, 107. Fourth ballot-Griffiths, 416%; Durbin, 454%; Posey, 213; Hogate, 136; Dodge, 178, and Haggard, 36. Fifth ballot—Griffiths, 454; Durbin, 539; Posey, 104½; Hogate, 80; Dodge, 163½, and Haggard, 3. Sixth ballot—Griffiths, 517½; Durbin, 700; Posey, 152½; Hogate, —; Dodge, 64, and Haggard, —. Seventh and last ballot—Durbin, 977; Griffith, 457. Mr. Griffith then moved to make the nomination unanimous and Col. Durbin was greeted by a storm of cheers, as he was escorted to the platform where he responded WINFIELD T. DURBIN. briefly and fittingly to the honor which had been conferred upon him. Interest then rapidly shifted to the contest in the matter of the nomination of lieutenant governor. The names L. P. Newby, John W. Baker, L. W. Embree, Frank B. Stutts, Newton W. Gilbock and J. N. Babcock were placed before the convention and the balloting began. It required four ballots to conclude this interesting contest, which narrowed down in the last ballot to Gilbock, Newby and Baker. Senator Gilbert receiving the nomination by a vote of 818, Newby G13 and Babcock 14. There being no contests for the office of secretary of state, auditor of state, treasurer of state and attorney general, superintendent of public instruction and judge of supreme court for the Fourth district, the present incumbents in these offices were declared the nominees of the convention by acclamation. For the office of reporter of supreme court there was an interesting contest on. Charles F. Remy, present incumbent, was opposed by Jesse Welk of Greencastle and L. B. Nash. It required three ballots to determine this contest which narrowed down at the conclusion of the second by the withdrawal of Mr. Nash from the race and Mr. Remy was nominated by a vote of 942 to 492, which was made unanimous upon the motion of Mr. Welk. The baloting for reporter of the supreme court was delayed somewhat by a contention which arose in the Marlon county delegation regarding the alleged irregularity of contests W. H. proxies which had been voted, and the vote of the county was challenged, making it necessary to delay the proceedings while the roll of this county's 116 delegates was being called. For the office of state statistician there were three candidates, Benjamin F. Johnson, John B. Connor and T. J. Hudgin, this contest being terminated on the third ballot as follows: Johnson, 896; Hudgin, 308; Connor, 230. national convention Senator Charles W.tor Albert J. B.

Correspondence Solicited Special Inducements to Agents Sample Copies on Application NEGRO MELODY This is a time when the folk song of America is being lost. The tremulous old-time melodies, the croons and chants, too despised and too elusive to the ear of the cultured musician to be put into permanent form, are being forgotten—and, even more, the fad of explosive, ragtime coon songs is destined to surfeit the mind to disgust with everything claiming the atmosphere of Negro melody. Only the oldest generation of colored folks in the South can remember the weird airs and preposterous jumble of words that characterized those quaint plantation songs, and the memory of those aged people often fails to rescue from oblivion many of those songs now recalled merely by title. Occasionally some family of colored people with tuneful ears, has passed down, from generation to generation, a favorite song, and to hear one of these is a rare privilege. Not long ago in Laurel County, Ky., the writer heard a Negro whom his companions graced with the name of Jellico, sing a remarkable repertory of old-time melodies, songs he had learned from his father, who in turn had been taught them by his father Much of the verse was so ridiculous the other Negroes roared and shouted and not be outdone the entertainer would drop the thread of his song and laugh with them. On questioning him afterwards I found that his people had lived in the backwoods of North Carolina, just beyond the Cumberland range. He nothing of the history of the songs he sang, and when asked to repeat them slowly I found that he did not understand half the words he sang. It was a tedious task to get from him a few verses, since it took considerable rumination of the sentences to be able to digest their meaning, but he tenaciously insisted that his version was perfect, just as his father had handed it down to him. One song, a hymn, particularly interested me because I had heard it occasionally before, once at a colored camp meeting in Mississippi, and again among the steamboat roustabouts on moonlight nights when the landing had been cleared and there was no more labor till miles ahead. This hymn is of comparatively recent origin, evidently, as the first two lines are almost, identical with a well-known Moody and Sankey hymn, the one beginning: The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide, a shelter in time or storm, Secure whatever ill betide, a shelter in the time of storm, O Jesus is rock in a weary land, a weary land, a weary land; O Jesus is rock in weary land, a shelter in the time of storm. But Jellico's family had a different version of the hymn, and these are the words he used, the chant accompanying it being impossible of reproduction even, I doubt, by one versed in musical arrangement: Was fed by de Hebunly budhs An' by his tempah and by his fee-ahs He's shiv'rin at the gates of hell Rock on Jesus in de weary lan' Jesus Christ rocked me in a weary lan' Sheltered in a mighty stohm: De sun gone down in de West'n hills, de moon refuse to shine. Eval little stah do shad a tear, Mastah Jesus shall be mine.

(declaimed) Where he come from? From' do fountain (declaimed) How did yo' know dis? Jesus told me, Got de witness in my bres'— Rock on Jesus in de weary lan' A sheltah in de mighty stohm. The fantastic setting given these words by Jellico included an occasional bit of declamation to vary the weired chant. He sang one hymn consisting of thirty-two verses and a chorus, and it seemed to me each verse had a different air. It was a version of Jonah's tribulations different from any I had ever heard. "Gowd," said Jonah, "how aht Thon? O Lawd, heah our vow." Gawd sen' Jonah to Ninevah lan' Jonah disobeyed, Gawd command.

WEDNESDAY'S SESsion. ‘The Republican State ‘convention con- vened at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, ‘Wednesday, April 25, at 2 p. m. Chair- man Hernly called the session to order and Rev. W. A. Quayle delivered the in- vocation. Chairman Hernly called for the report of the committee on perma- nent organization and it*was read. It ree- ‘ommended J. Frank Hanly, of Latayette, for permanent chairman and H. H, Kee- gan, of Ft. Wayne, for secretary. Also rules for balloting and conduct of the business of the convention. Committees’ report was agopted and Mr. Hanly was introduced. On taking the chair Mr. Hanly said in part: MR. HANLY’s ADDRESS. “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention—I am not Insensible to the Gistinetion you have conferred'on me by selecting me to preside over the delibera- tions of this convention. “Tt is an honor I have not sought, but I obey your wish 4n this, as in all other things, and accept the ‘responsibility. We are met gn the closing hours of the world’s greatest cen- tury to write another page of Hoosier history. For in what we do here we must needs make history. I recognize in the Gelegates before me the bone. and’ sinew of Republicanism in Indiana. For the purposes of this day-you are the Repub- Yiean. party. “When we assembled in convention: In 1896 the Democratic party was intrenched in power In the State and in the nation. Gold was being exported at the rate of more than $0,000.00 a year In excess of Importations, Want, disaster and gloom, the ever-attending and. triple concomi- tants of Democracy, were everywhere. Industries were paralyzed, commerce was at a stanagtill, cars designed for the transportation of freight were rotting on sidetracks, thrift was maimed, enterprise strangled. “These conditions still obtained on. the 4th of Mareh, 1897, when the Republican party was restored’ to power. Through the efforts of. President McKinley and the work of a Republican Congress, we are ling to-day under a new dispensation. ‘The horrid .nightmare of a Democratic administration has passed away, and we stand again in the broad sunlight of a better day. “Phree years haye gone by and the dire- ful prophesies off the wordy itinerant of the Platte remain unfulfilled. His erles of Impending disdster are as loud as ever, but they are drowned amid the glad shouts of contented women and children and the joyful laughter of his well-fed countrymen. His theories have been erushed, one by one, by the stern, un- yielding facts of actual experience, till he is left without ah affirmative issue for the approaching campaign. The cherished dogma of ‘I6 to 1" abandoned, Le sinks to on lai ot bicariy, (9 Pecans 49 aoe tle of negation—a destroyer of othey men’s policies, and a builder of none for himself. ‘ “Prudence, honesty and economy have characterized every fiscal act of the ‘State government, and under the laws enacted by the late General Assembly. the same wire principles have been. extended to the several county and township governments of the State. “Since the inauguration of Governor Mount,-the State debt ha# been reduced $1,716,000, and we dre given ine gratifying assurance that before the expiration of his term of office, there will be a further reduction of at least $00,00, making an aggregate reduction of the principal of the State debt In four years, of $2,116.00, thereby saving to the taxpayers of the State an annual Interest charge of $62,000, Mb en no ee Performance has not lagged behind, but on the contrary, has swiftly followed, the heels of promise, “In 1888, the Dingley law was rapidly replenishing the depleted treasury left to us by a Democratic administration. ‘The Tevenue created by its provisions would have been adequate to the needs of the government but for the unexpected and ‘extraordinary expenditures incident to the conduct of @ foreign war. ‘This new con- aition was promptly met-by a revenue ‘measure framed and passed in the face of Ditter and partisan epposition waged by the minority in Congress, Under it the revenues of the government have been more than sufficient to defray the ex- penses of the war with Spain and in the Philippines. Other measures are still pending and are receiving the best thought of the President, his constitution- al advisers and of the Congress. All the work could not be done in a day. “By war and by tfeaty we have ac- quired, territory in the islands of the sea. It Is now too late to discuss the propriety of expansion. We have already expanded. ‘Phe opportunity of the anti-expansionist fs past. He has had his day in court and can not now be heard. It will be useless for the Kansas City convention to ask the American people for an injunction. ‘They will not undertake to enjoin an act that is already consummated, “There still remains, however, the ques- tion as to how we are to govern the ter- Htory which weshave acquired. ‘This pre- sents one of those far-reachini, world- wide, history-making problems that come to a nation but once or twice in a cen- tury. In It is wrapped something of the destiny of all nations and_of all peoples, Yet Iam not afraid. “Some of the members of the Indiana ‘delegation differed on the Porto Rican ‘measure. They said so bravely and elo- quently. Feeling as they did, they were right in saying so. ‘Thy could have done no less, Out of the discussion occasioned by their differences on the Porto Rican ‘measure, there-finally came the calm, ‘conservative, patriotic and just judgment of the majority, which is now the law. ‘The moment it became the law, our dif- ferences, and theirs, ended, and the Dem- ‘ocrat who consoles himself with the thought that this act of the administra- tion will not have the Indorsement of In- ‘Aiana Republicans, dogs not know us. Let him stand still and watch until the ides of November come, and he shall see the salvation of the Lord. “A few:months and the nineteenth cen- tury will have passed Inte the eternity of ‘the cycles that are gone. We sit already ‘In the twilight of its last hours. As its ‘shadows deepen the nations of the earth ‘are writing the last pages of its history. ‘What the republic shall write in these last pages may depend upon the Repub- Means of Indiana. It may be for us to determine. ‘The responsibility is ours. Shall we accept it and fill the bond? For ‘one I am hppeful and confident .of the ‘issue, - /; “Whe the last line shall have -b¥en ‘written; when the great volume shall have been made up, and the word ‘Ants’ [inscribed upon {ts seals, it will contain no ‘chronicle of thrift maimed, of enterprise ‘strangled, of industries paralyzed, ot ‘teed Unconfined, nor of avarice uncon trolled. Between its lids there will be lege es Gis cacereg beton ‘eredit Tuned, or of labor robbed by dts- ber colt.” (Great applause.)

The Republican State convention adjourned Thursday night after nominating an exceptionally strong ticket, thus bringing to a close one of the most spirited and interesting contests in the history of the party in Idaho. The remainder of the ticket having been practically decided upon before the convention convened all interest centered in the nominations for governor and lieutenant-governor with six candidates for the position at the head of the ticket, and the possibility of the numerous combinations that could have been effected it was impossible to forecast the result. The fight, however, was at no time bitter, and notwithstanding the intense interest display on every hand, the convention was particularly harmonious. There are no knives to sharpen, no sores to heal and the spirit of good fellowship precedes the Republican ranks. Col. Durbin, the choice of the convention for governor, is a Hoosier by birth and a stalwart Republican. He is veteran of the Civil war, and in the Spanish-American war, commanded the One hundred-and-sixty-first Regiment, the only body of Indiana troops to touch Spanish soil during the war. THE white people are eccentric. In Toledo, O., they threaten to place a Chinaman in the city council just out of "sheer devilry;" down in Georgia they will lynch a Negro under the same impulse. THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, in a reflective mood, commenting on the political conditions, takes time to remark: Politics makes strange companionships indeed. When you find men of national reputation associated with negro dive keepers in the same delegation it rather gives you that queer feeling We do not see why The News should go out of the way to cast this slur. Neither were we aware of the presence of any "negro dive keepers" in the recent convention, to which, no doubt, the lines quoted referred. The News is perfectly aware of the conditions which makes it expedient to send men of questionable character—both white and colored—to conventions. We can not see why association with disreputable colored men should grate any more harshly upon the fine sensibilities of "men of national reputation" than association with disreputable white men. However, politics is what the white man made it, and though beset --- with embarrassing situations, he must "grin and bear it." THE colored people of Chicago are one the alert. Through the efforts of a local council they are introducing colored labor in the large packing establishments of that city. Over three hundred colored men have already been employed and there is no indication of resentment on the part of the white workman. THE Washington correspondent to The Chicago Record terms as "drastic" a recent marriage law enacted in Germany which operates against Americans' Come to think of it, Indiana has a somewhat "drastic" marriage law, but as it operates only against the colored people it doesn't count. ONE Dr. Boyd, pastor of a little church over in Illinois is laboring under a strange hallucination caused by fear of Negro domination. Speaking on this subject, he says: "When these people have increased from 10,000,000 to 60,000,000 the question is not, 'What are we going to do with the Negro?' but 'What is the Negro going to do us?'" If these wind-jammers would just stop their jabbering and give the Negro a fair chance and then let him alone he will take care of himself.

At a time when the old discussion of creeds is being vigorously a n d somewhat bitterly revived this disc course of Dr. Talmage has a special interest. The text is John xi, 44, "Loose him and let him go." M. B. My Bible is, at the place of this text, written all over with lead pen-cil marks made at Bethany, on the ruins of the house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. We dismounted from our horses on the way up from Jordan to the dead sea. Bethany was the summer evening retreat of Jesus. After spending the day in the hot city of Jerusalem he would come out there almost every evening to the house of his friends. Lazarus, the brother, was now at the head of the household, and his sisters depended on him and were proud of him. But one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters were in consternation. Father gone and mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they lose their brother also. Disease did its quick work. From the characteristics otherwise developed I judge that Martha prepared the medicines and made tempting dishes of food for the poor appetite of the sufferer, but Mary prayed and sobbed. Worse and worse gets Lazarus until the doctor announces that he can do no more. The shriek that w went up from that household when the last breath had been drawn and the two sisters were being led by sympathizers into the adjoining room all of those of us can imagine who have had our own hearts broken. But why was not Jesus there, as he so often had been? Far away in the country districts, preachin, healing other sick, how unfortunate that this omnipotent Doctor had not been at that domestic crisis in Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had been buried four days, and dissolution had taken place. At the door of the sepulcher is a crowd of people, but the three most memorable are Jesus, who was the family friend, and the two bereft sisters. We went into, the traditional tomb one December day, and it is deep down and dark, and with torches we explored it. We found it all quiet that afternoon of our visit, but the day spoken of in the Bible there was present an excited multitude. I wonder what Jesus will do? He orders the door of the grave removed, and then he begins to descend the steps. Mary and Martha close after him and the crowd after them. Deep down into the shadows and deeper! The hot tears of Jesus roll over his cheeks and plush upon the backs of his hands. Were ever so many sorrows expressed into so small a space as in that group pressing on down after Christ, all the time bemoaning that he had not come before? Now after the whispering and all the crying and all the sounds of shuffling feet are stopped. It is the silence of expectancy. Death had conquered, but now the vanquiler of death confronted the scene. Amid the awful hush of the tomb, the familiar name which Christ had often had upon his lips in the hospitalities of the village home came back to his tongue, and with a pathos and an almightiness of which the resurrection of the last day shall only be an echo he cries, "Lazarus, come forth!" "Take off these cerements! Remove these hindrances! Unfasten these graveclothes! Loose him and let him go!" I am glad that Christ commanded his complete emancipation, saying, "Loose him and let him go." The unfortunate thing now is that so many Christians are only half liberated. They have been raised from the death and burial of sin into spiritual life, but they yet have the graveclothes on them. They are, like Lazarus, hobbling up the stairs of the tomb bound hand and foot, and the object of this sermon is to help free their body and free their soul, and I shall try to obey the Master's command that comes to me and comes to every minister of religion. "Loose him and let him go." Many are bound hand and foot by religious creeds. Let no man misinterpret me as antagonizing creeds. I have eight or ten of them—a creed about religion, a creed about art, a creed about social life, a creed about government, and so on. A creed is something that a man believes, whether it be written or unwritten. The Presbyterian church is now agitated about its creed. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an appropriate creed for our times. John Calvin was a great and good man, but he died 336 years ago. I could call the names of 20 living Presbyterian ministers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. "But," you say, "it is the same old Bible, and John Calvin had that as well as the present student of the scriptures." Yes; so it is the same old sun in the heavens, but in our time it has gone to making daguerreotypes and photographs. It is the same old water, but in our century it has gone to running steam engines. It is the same old electricity, but in our time it has become a lightning footed errand boy. So it is the old Bible, but new applications, new uses, new interpretations. What a time we have had with the dogmatics, the apologetics and the hermeneutics! The defeat in some of the creeds is that they try to tell us all about the creeds of God. Now, the only human being that was ever competent to handle that subject was Paul, and he would not have been competent and he not been inspired. I move for a creed for all our denominations made out of Scripture quotations pure and simple. That would take the earth for God; that would be impregnable against infidelity and Apollyonic assault; that would be beyond human criticism. The denomination, whatever its name be, that can rise up to that will be the church of the millennium, will swallow up all other denominations and be the one that will be the bride when the bridegroom cometh. Let us make it simpler and planer for the people to get into the kingdom of God. But there are those who would add unto the tests rather than subtract from them. There are thousands who would not accept persons into church membership if they drink wine or if they smoke cigars or if they attend the theater or if they play cards or if they drive a fast horse. But do not substitute tests which the Bible does not establish. Again, there are Christians who are under sepulchral shadows and fears and hopped by doubts and fears and sins long ago repented of. What they need is to understand the liberty of the sons of God. They spend more time under the shadow of Stani than at the base of Calvary. What many of you Christians most need is to get your graveclothes off. I rejoice that you have been brought from the death of sin to the life of the gospel, but you need to get your hand loose, and your feet loose, and your tongue loose, and your soul loose. There is no sin that the Bible so arraigs and punctures and flagellates as the sin of unbelief, and that is what is the matter with you. Again, my text has good advice concerning any Christian hampered and bothered and bound by fear of his own dissolution. To such the book refers when it speaks of those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to the bondage. The most of us, even if we have the Christian hope, are cowards about death. If a plank fall from a scaffolding and just grazes our hat, how pale we look! If the Atlantic ocean plays with the steamship pitching it toward the heavens and letting it suddenly drop, how even the Christian passengers pester the steward or stewardess as to whether there is any danger. Backed up by the teachings of your Bible, just look through the telescope some bright night and see how many worlds there are and reflect that all you have seen, compared with the number of worlds in existence, are less than the fingers of your right hand as compared with all the fingers of the human race. How foolish, then, for us to think that ours is the only world fit for us to stay in. One of our first realizations in getting out of the world, I think, will be that in this world we were very much pent up and had cramped apartments and were kept on the limits. The most, even of our small world, is water, and the water says to the human race. "Don't come here or you will drown." A few thousand feet up the atmosphere is uninhabitable, and the atmosphere says to the human race, "Don't come up here or you cannot breathe." A few miles down the earth is a furnace of fire, and the fire says, "Don't come here or you will burn." The caverns of the mountains are full of poisonous gases, and the gases say, "Don't come here or you will be asphixated." And, crossing a track, you must look out or you will be crushed. And, standing by a steam boiler, you must look out or you will be blown up. And pneumonias and pleurisies and consumptions and apoplexies go across this earth in floocs, in droves, in herds, and it is a world of equinoxes and cylones and graves. Yet we are under the delusion that it is the only place fit to stay in. Heaven is 95 per cent, better than this world, a thousand per cent, better, a million per cent, better. Take the gladdest, brightest, most jubilant days you ever had on earth and compress them all into one hour, and that hour would be a requiem, a fast day, a gloom, a horror, as compared with the poorest hour they have had in heaven since its first tower was built or its first gates swung or its first song caroled. "Oh," you say, "that may be true, but I am so afraid of crossing over from this world to the next, and I fear the snapping of the cord between soul and body." Well, all the surgeons and physicians and scientists declare that there is no pang at the parting of the body and soul, and all the restlessness at the closing hour of life is involuntary and no distress at all. "But," you say, "I fear to go because the future is so full of mystery." Well, I will tell you how to treat the mysteries. The mysteries have ceased bothering me, for I do as the judges of your courts often do. They hear all the arguments in the case, and they say, "I will take these papers and give you my decision next week." So I have heard all the arguments in regard to the next world, and some things are uncertain and full of mystery, and so I fold up the papers and reserve until the next world my decision about them. I can there study all the mysteries. The only part of the journey I made years ago to Palestine that I really dreaded was the landing at Joppa. That is the port of entrance for the Holy Land, and there are many rocks, and in rough weather people cannot land at all. The boats taking the people from the steamer to the docks must run between reefs that looked to me to be about 50 feet apart, and one mistroke of an oarsman or an unexpected wave has sometimes been fatal, and hundreds have perished along those reefs. Besides that, as we left Port Said the evening before, an old traveler said; "The wind is just right to give you a rough landing at Joppa; indeed I think you will not be able to land at all." The fact was that when our Mediterranean steamer dropped anchor near Joppa and we put out for shore in the small boat, the water was as still as though it had been sound asleep a hundred years, and we landed as easily as I entered this pulpit. Weil, your fears have pictured for you an appalling arrival at the end of your voyage of life, and they say that the seas will run high and that the breakers will swallow you up, or, that if you reach Canaan at all it will be a very rough landing. The very opposite will be true if you have the eternal God for your portion. Your disembarkment for the promised land will be as smooth as was ours at Palestine. Christ will meet you far out at sea and pilot you into complete safety, and you will land with a hosanna on one side of you and a halleluiah on the other. "Land ahead!" Its fruits are waving O'er the hills of fadeless green And the living waters laving Shores where heavenly forms are seen. Rocks and storms I'll fear no more When on that eternal shore. Drop the anchor, furl the sail! I am safe within the veil! CORRUPTION IN THE ORIENT. Bad Work. Slow Progress and Short- Sighted Economy on the Russo- Manchurian Railway. The construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway (the Russo-Manchurian line), would appear to be proceeding under many and seriously retarding difficulties. The Czar himself is said to be much displeased by its laggard progress. The chief engineer, M. Yugovitch, has been summarily dismissed by imperial order and replaced by the well known railway engineer expert, M. Ignatius. The constructive administration has, for the sake of shortsighted economy—and not improbably with a less worthy purpose—elected to employ Chinese in preference to Russian labor. The daily pay demanded by the Chinamen is from 30 to 40 kopecks, or from seventeen-halfpenny to ten pence, while the Russian workman declines to accept anything less than a ruble and 50 kopecks, or three shillings and threepecks per diem. The Chiamen make up for their scant remuneration by a wholesale and well organized system of petty lurcey, and, what is more serious, by a disgraceful scamping of their work. Long stretches of embankments have been so imperfectly built that, quite unnecessarily, they will occupy more than six months' extra labor before the sleepers and rails can be permanently laid. The Russian official supervisors are of course, equally culpable in this matter. On the Charbin-Ornski section the rails are not yet laid, and between the former place and the frontier station it is only as yet possible, and that with difficulty, to run light ballast trains carrying wagons, locomotives and other mechanical appliances is alike belated and dislocated. The telegraphists at twenty consecutive stations recently abandoned their posts and struck for higher salaries; they were previously receiving only 40 rubles per mensem. By special imperial command all these drawbacks are to be remedied forthwith, and it is hoped that the new line will be completed by the end of 1901, but the remaining bridges to be erected will consume at least another twelve months. The Russo-Chinese Eastern Railway will not, therefore, be opened for through traffic before 1902, or about fifteen months later than the time originally reckoned upon for the completion of the Manchurian system, to which Russia attaches so much political, strategical and commercial importance—Odessa correspondence of the London Standard. Strawberries on Trees At last M. Baltet the great French specialist, has been enabled to grow strawberries on plants of a decidedly treelike nature. The method is simplicity itself. The runners are trained up vertically and tied to a stake, in the same way that a pot tomato plant is, and then the lateral buds are pinched out. Result—a strawberry tree on a small scale. The system, as regards the strawberry plant, has been utilized in the production of tree heliotropes, or "cherry pie," as the fragrant flowers are usually called, on account of the strong cherrylike perfume they give out. The finest specimens of these are to be seen in the season in the lovely gardens of Walmer Castle, the late Marchioness of Sallisbury having been very partial to them. It is predicted by several eminent members of the Royal Horticultural Society that the tree strawberry will be a prominent feature of the coming fruit shows in England during the present year.—London Leader. Her Gentle Retort Judge Taft, of Ohio, who will be associated with General White in the Philippine Commission, tells this story of how his wife turned the tables on him when he attempted a bit of sarcasm at her expense: The Judge and Mrs. Taft attended church one Sunday morning, and after service Mrs. Taft was the center of a group of women who stood in the aisle and held a long and animated discussion on some topic of feminine interest, as women will. The judge grew impatient at the delay, and was very grum on the way home. At last he said: "Do you know you chattering women reminded me of Balaam's ass blocking the way?" "Oh, no," replied Mrs. Taft severely. "You are mistaken. It was the angel that blocked the way of the ass!"—Memphis Schmitar. Diplomacy in the Pu'rit. "Jes' one word," said Uncle Remus from the pulpit, as the collection was about to be taken, "dar's been a mighty sight ob chicken stealing 'bout here lately.
