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 its 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. TWO IMPORTANT MERGERS. Significant is the action that has been taken by two great church conventions in this country in behalf of unity. It fs not an effort to bring two denomina- tfons together but the culmination of vears of effort to unite two branches of the same church. Graduglly with the passing of those who were directly con- “Bvery time I pick up the paper,” said Miss Veronica Squigge, who was hurrying through her second cup of coffee in order not to miss the 8.08 car to her work in the loop, “all I can find is that the eleventh thousandth and tenth family has left for California to spend the winter! Gee—it makes me _tired !” “Oh, no,” supplemented her younger brother, who was hurrying in order to get to his business school, ‘“you mean they are leaving for Palm Beach! .Or Cuba—rafts of 'em!" “It's s0,” agreed Mrs. Squiggs, Who was hurrying so that she could get her dishes done and depart to the all-day aid so- ciety meeting. “I'll say that some people do have it easy. I wish I could go to Palm Beach when I wake up here and find it zero and no steam on!” ‘Well,” said Squiggs, the father of the | e was decided with the Civil war, but nev- | better lose any. sleep over it, because none to California!” gurgled Miss Veronica Squiggs, rapturously. “T've always been just dying to go there. One of the girls knows a’ girl who went out there and she married a man who owned just an im- mense ranch, or maybe it Was an orange grove. They have hundreds of employes and tons of money and all she does is sit on the veranda in fluffy dresses and ring for lemonade.” “I should ask for orangeade,” said young Johnny Squiggs, promptly. - “It has more class. And I'd have a car, one of those low roadsters that eat up the track. I'd burn a groove from one end of Cali- fornia to the other— a long period béfore that they had been committed to oppose slaveholding, but it was at that time that a controversy arose over a southern bishop who sanc- tioned slaves in his household. Brought up in the national copference it resuited in the passage of a résolution requesting him to give up his office While such con- ditions existed. The result was that the southern Methodists 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 loyval- assembly and took the name of the Southern Presbyterian church, and dur- ing the interceding years there have heen Southern Presbyterians and Northern Presbyterians, and Southern Methodists and Northern Methodists, vet the only difference between them as denomina- tions was the stand in regard to slav- ery. Whatever ground thers may have been for the division on the part of those who withdrew it long ago disappeared. It has nevertheless been impossible to bring about an understanding between the separate organizations until now but the action in the two national conventions indicates a move in the right direction and the taking of a step which should make much more effective organizations. They %hre cases where time has healed the wounds of the past. “And there are o many nice places on the way to stop off at,” pursued Veronica Squiggs. read a peachy story once about a girl who saved and saved and | went to Californja and stopped at the Grand Canyon and had the most wonder- fully romantic time!

Mr. 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 Christion hope is built, however, not on human desires, but on the immu- table promise of God. The popular view of the millenium Tas 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 they must get out and undertake to han-| work. It is the dream of many a church- dle the trucking proposition themselves|man.

Apparently it is a case in New York for the merchants to ocapitulate and meet the demands of the organized truckers, whether just or not, or else a which they needed and no compromise in sight it was a sorry situation which was faced and called for throwing up their hands and letting the strikers direct af- fairs or eliminating the conditions It is the latter proposition which the merchants have decided to follow. They will put a half million into the ory izing of thelr own system which willl mean the securing of trucks where neces-| sary and the getting of drivers. It ‘Sl apparent that it is going to be no easy job. Provided there is no agreement a} if the old truckmen do not want to work for what the merchants are willing to pay there is no reason why others should not take their places. But that does not nevertheless make the outlook | eny more assuring. It is to be realized that everyone in- volved, and the public must be included therein, is suffering from this situation The failure to move goods and the ina-| bility to get supplies means demorwhzed‘ business’' and no end of inconvenience and loss.

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 Garfield’s assassination that we must get rid of factions and spoils or the government it- self might be struck down as its chief %iad 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 Tepublican nomina- tion for governor of New York and die- tated the choice of a candidate. He made a good selection, but the people were in such a state of sensitiveness that they buried the administration nomines under an unprecedented majority for the democratic candidate GroverCleve- land. idea that Inasmuch as ¥t is bound to come the matter might as well be fought out now.

They were sadder and wiser when the old congress reassembled for its closing short session. With breath fless haste they rushed through the Civi Service Law, which Grant, Hayes and Arthur in turn had been vainly recom- mending in their messages. The evils of the spoils system, which Jackson had inaugurated fifty years be- fore and which had been fostered by all parties, had grown with the growth of the Civil Service. OQur politics had de- generated into a scramble for offices and the distribution of patronage had become, the principal busines of presidents, sena- tors and representatives.
