With every sil- ver thread in the bright locks we may gather a new virtue that shall make the setting of our sun brighter than its noonday glory! The soul has an eternal youth, and ifrightly cultivat- ed it will shine through the furrows of age undermined by the many in- firmities of moral life. We loved the aged. From our earliest chidhood our heart has warmed and leaped toward them. We would rather talk witha good old man or woman— their hoary heads a crown of glory— than with the gayest of earth’s gay children. How mnch experience the aged have gathered! Every word that falls rom their lips is a pearl to be treas- ured forever. Earthis growing dark- er to them and the beautiful visions of an eternal world fall upon their almost beautiful spirits, making their possessor seem more than mortal. Then why should we dread to lose our youth when age brings so much to love? But let us rather strive to train these immortal guest that tarry within our earthly temples so carefully that they shall impart beauty to, the faded lineament and wrinkled brow when we too grow old. —Emily &. Cross. Prayer for Bishop Potter. New York, March 5.—Bishop Hen- ry C. Potter will be the subject of special prayers to-morrow by the Women’s Christian Temerance Union of Newark, N.J. The occasien will be the monthly all-day prayer meeting and the rea- son for his being singled out by the organization for prayer is the recent expression of his views on the Sun- day saloon closing question, in a speech at Monteciair, N. J. That Bishop Potter may see the temperance and Sunday saloon ques- tion in a different light will be the burden of supplication in his behalf. The announcement of the meeting says: “Bishop Potter’s opinion of the|sumers of American products at the temperance cause and the drunkard | sore cost of the American consuming will be discussed and the bishop | public.—St. Louis Republic. | prayed for most earnestly.” Because They Were Rejected. New Orleans, March 5.—Georgia Maretto and Angelo Auzeleamo, young Italians, rejected suitors of a 17-year-old girl named Annie Claccio, went to the Claccio home last night and tried to kill the family. The father and mother were stabbed and Joe Saragusa, a visitor, was wound- The girl escaped from herroom and hid under the house all night. Ma- retto and Auzeleamo have not been arrested. _ NEARLY ONE BILLION. Great Britain’s Expenses in Boer War Mounting Up. London, March 5.—The statement j}made by Mr. Broderick, secretary of} | state for war, in the House of Com- | mons, last night in connection with ithe army estimates, together with numerous articles in the March re- views, illustrates how deeply the Boer war has affected the financies, military policy and general political philosophy of the empire. The minister of war's figures show that the cost of the struggle now ap- proaches $1,000,000,000, Unotticial authorities estimate that twice that sum will be required to finish thecon- quest of the republics, The outbreak bas driven a number of the greatest intellects in the coun- try to prescribe free trade and de- mand an imperial zollverein as the only possible means of raising sufti- cient money for meeting foreign com- petition and holding the empire to- gether. The war has led the government to undertake the largest scheme for army expansion in the history of the country, besides increasing the pay of the private soldiers by an aggre- gate of nearly $10,000,000 a year. If that expedient fails to get 50,000 recruits annually, Mr, Broderick re- news the hint that conscription will be the next move. The strain of the war has made the cabinet and part of the country nerv- ous. Their vision is vexed with diplomatic specters. Every new phase of continental policy is con- struedintoathreat against England, Politicians and journalists shout for alliances and urge the mostexclusive measures of political and economic imperialism. The Truth About the Tariff. Congressman DeArmond in his ad dress on tariff reform before the Cres- cent Democratic Club of Baltimore made a powerful and timely argu- mentagainst the theory and practice of protection, which has cost the American people so heavily for the enrichment of the American trusts. Peculiarly effective at the presemt moment was Mr. DeArmond’s pres- entation of the additional truth that under existing conditions the Ameri- can high tariff is taxing the Ameri- can consumer for the benefit of the foreign consumer of American proa- ucts. This truth is at last admitted even by certain Republican leaders, A notable sentiment for tariff redue- tion has beeu created in the minds of many thousands of thoughtful Re- publican voters. “When it comes to dealing with our_own_people,”’says—Mr.—DeAr- mond, we, eny, them the benefit of the competition which in many in- stances we extend to all others, and frequently, by law, compel the Amer- ican citizen to pay more for the arti- cles produced in his own land than the foreigner has to pay for them af- ter they have been transported across thousands of miles of ocean. This is both unwise and unjust. Tariff re- form applied to this evil would re- move the duty entirely, se that there would no longer be, by law, a dis- crimination against the American citizen for the benefit of the Ameri- can millionaire manufacturer.” The people of this country will in- dorse the blunt statement of truth thus made by the Missouri Congress- man. They have at last awakened to full realization of the fact that a high tariff is a bunko game played on them for the exclusive benefit of the trusts and the European consum- er. They will not longer be patient undera burden laid upon them as up- on a pack-train of feolish asses. The results of the congressional elections of this year and of the presidential election of 1904 will put an end to the Republican injustice of “protec- tion” which protects some 200 Ameri- can millionaires and all foreign con- Homeseekers’ Excursion. | Tickets onsale March 4th and 18th, | April lst and 15th, May 6 and 20, 11902, going limit of fifteen days final {return limit of 21 days from date of jsale.
