satisfied by his study of tho problem with every motlvo for reaching a sound conclusion that the ono solution for the financial difficulties of tho south was branch banking Tho branches could circulate tho notes of tho parent bank and if tho issues could bo mado on general assets the capital of the bank would be loaned to the farmers and merchants of tho locality instead of to tho government an advantage difficult to overestimate The branch would not be dependent upon the local depositors or a capital proportioned to its local business for tho means of making loans The parent bank receiving deposits through branches from many local ities would bo able instantly and at al most no expense to transfer funds from localities where there vero largo deposits and therefore small demand for loans to localities where tho conditions were reversed Advantageous as tho branch bank system tonld probably prove to com mercial men it would bo vastly moro so to farmers Merchants are depositing and borrowing all the time There are every day deposits from ono dealer which can bo loaned to another but tho farmers who have a deal of money to deposit at ono season and occasion to borrow a great deal at another would be vastly aided by such an equalization of tho demand for loans and tho means of gratifying them aswould bo afforded by central banks with widespread branches The political significance of this is that the south has no interest in silver coinage jt4 such but took tho free coinage Issue the impression that it would afford more currency for which tho section had an undoubted neda banking system that would afford more currency and especially moreahd cheaper credit would fully satisfy the hand the cheap money cry would at oabe cease toffee formida ble 1 Gum

camo not to minister but to bo ministered unto Christ was thogrcat cst of all yet Ho became tho servant of nIl His mission in life was to minister Ho lived to minister Ills act in wash ing the feet of His disciple was only au illustration of tho whole spirit nnd substance of Ills lifo Ho died not for Himself but for others In all this Ho gavo an example to His disciples Tho servant is not greater lena his lord If Christ lived to servo Christians should livo to servo Tuna mid thus only con they exemplify Christs spirit boforo tho world 2 In ministering Instead of being ministered unto wo accomplish tho pur poso for which God brought us into tho world God created inah to glorify Him Wo best glorify Him when wo givo our lives for thoso who are about us in life God in Christ gavo Himself for tho world and as Christ fulfilled His mis aba in lifo by giving His lifo for others so wo can best fulfill our mission in tho world Tho most important aim of lifo should be to do Gods will to accom push tho end and aim of our existence and if to do so wo must livo for others wo should not hesitate or falter 8 In ministering instead of being ministered unto wo benefit ourselves Christ did not say that there was no path of ambition to tread in the Chris tian life Ho simply declared that it wasjiot tho annie as tho worldly path Greatness in Christianity is achieved by humility Exaltation comes by hu miliation Trno Christian greatness lies in forgetting self and in thinking of others Tho ono who exalts himself shall bo abased Tho ono who abases himself shall bo exalted Let ns imitate

ono who under stood all possiblo variations of tones and the relations between them And he pointed out to theso humble monks tho imperfections in their musical service and ho mado them ashamed and they asked him to sing for them and ho sang and it seemed to them that they hind never heard anything so grand But that night a voice asked tho abbot why they had forgotten their evening song The old

own State and district than perhaps any other man and when you get an aggregation of members from all parts of the COIIt try you get an excellent view of conditions in tins great country of ours They tiring aDO News And they come with very fisorCable reports Whether from North or the South the Atlantic Seaboard the Mississippi Valley or the Pacific Slope there art re ports of improved conditions Increased earnings among farmers increased earnings by railroads and railroad men increased earnings among mine operators and mine workers increased earnings among manufactures these arc the reports which members living from every part of the coifhtry From Kansas alone comes an official re port placing the value of farm pro ducts in that State this year at over 66oooooo an increase of more than 30 percent as compared with last year while the reports of mort gages cancelled in that and all of the farming States arc C gratifying From the mannlacturing- and mining sections the reports are quite as favorable Members Iron the manufacturing sections of Ijew England and the Qhio Vajley report large increases in the number of people employed and that an beinihadfirst effect of a protective tariff is to increase the number of people employed and it is not until the second stage of its work has been reached that the effect is felt in the increase in wages This is now making itself apparent for reports of increased wages come not alone from the manufa turing centers but from the great iron mines of Pennsylvania Michigan and else where- As to the New Tariff The good reports which mem improvelne tariff are met with equally favora able news as to the work of that law since Congress placed it upon the statute books and left it to be gin its career in the face of adverse conditions With a hundred mil lion dollars worth of surplus for cign importations upon the mar- I ets of the country the conditions under which it entered upon its workwere of course extremely unfavorable In the face of that fact however its earnings have steadily increased beginning with a little over 19000000 in its first month and now reaching marc than 25000000 in November In each month since the tariff bill was placed upon the statute books the earnings have ipeasedand the Treasury official who iave been studying the fltV law carefully arc- S i l Jrr 1 ta + 1 I i throughly satisfied with its pros pects as a revenue producer Prob ably no man in the Treasury De partment is better capable to udgc of these matters than Assistant Secretary Howell who has grownup in the custom service from a subordinate position to the position which he now holdsAssist Treasurylie1the earnings of the new law wit be sufficient after the opening month of the coming year to meet running expensesliThe enormous stock of sugar wooland other articles which had been brought into the country beforeJ the new Jaw went into effect said Mr Howell talking to your corI respondent will have been pretty theIpresent year importations will be resumed When this is tlonp I think the earnings oi the new law will be very satisfactory Vn arc now getting 25000000 a month and the revenue from sugar alone will be about S oooooo- while the increase from sources will also be very consider able So it seems to me that Congress when it looks over Ihe field and sees what the new law liaR done and what it is likely to do in the near future will have no occasion to regret is action or to enter upon any further revenue legislation at present at least Those Sliver Mliilontlrlci There is a disposition to lookS with a somewhat quizzical toward those silver missionairies Senators Pettigrew Mantle and Dubois who it will be remembered hurried away from Wash ington at the close of the special session to visit Japan It was an nounced that their object in making this trip was to examine into the causes which led Japan to abandon the silver standard and fall in line With the progressive goldstandard natipns te it wijl be renipirjhered was a shining prosperitydpring np single incident since tho defeat of 1896 so much disturbed the sil Japanfromcountries It was because of this fact that the silver advocates scur ried away to interview these Yankees of the Orient and find out just how they had been taken in EuropeThese agohavetheir coming to Washington is looked forward to with much in terest as there will be a disposition on the part of members of both parties to insist upon either a de- v finite report or an explanation- S their silence The fact that they have had nothing to say since they returned is considered to say the least suggestive of failure to find in Japan any sufficient argu ment in support of their silver theory The Cuban Situation Members of Congtess learn on their return here that all American prisoners in Cuba have now been set at liberty It will be remem bered that this administration when it came into office nine months ago found that a very large number of
