OIIAUNCY I)KPKWS LOUP,
Staacor IK pew has for a numb.-r of
years addressed t"he four hundred mem
bers of the M on tank Club of Brooklyn
on th' anniversary cf his birthday.
Tiicsf? speeches have now been pub
lished in book form, and present the
Senator's characteristics as a business
man, a politician, a moralist, and a
man of the world. lie indulges in
these speeches in talks aboa himself
-without any display of egotism. He
sooms tin say to bis audience: "I h ive
knocked about the world more than
the most of you have, and I can give
you , a iew points. He is a most
patriotic American, without being one
of the bla1h.erski.te3 on the platform
whose- lov-e of country is best expressed
in 'w-tiirllng iiie eale above their head
and provoking it to scream. He be
lieves that the free silver men brought
cruel poverty to millions of homes, but
the resistless energy and sense of the
people will in the end correct political
vils.
In his views of social life he is most
instructive. A few of his words are
quoted.
"What kills people is worry worry
for that which they do not want and
do not need. I have seen hundreds
of men who (had passed middle life
and who were assured competence for
the rest of their days, launch into
speculation, lose their fortunes and die
of worry."
"Do not let deceptions destroy con
fidence in the real 'honest goodness,
generosity,- humanity and friendship
that exist in the world. They are over
whelmingly in the majority. I have
lost twen'ty-five per cent, of all I have
ever m'ade in leaning money and en
dorsing motes, and have incurred gen
erally the enmity of those I have help
ed because I did not keep it up. But
once in a while there was somebody
who did return in suc'h a full measure
the credit for the help that was render
ed, that faith was kept alive, and the
beauty and goodness of our human na
ture was made evident. I have ap
pointed about one thousand men to
office and employment which gave
them support and the chance .to climb
to positions of greater responsibility
and trust if they had the inclination
and ability. About nine out of ten of
them throw stones at me, because I
did not do better for them, and keep
pushing them, and yet there are a .hun
dred or so who by the exercise of
their own ability, their own grasp of
the situation, have gone on to the ac
complishment of such high ambitions
and successes, that again my faith 'in
human nature remains undiminished."
The Senator makes this remark in
one of his speeches:
"I have been impressed during a re
cent tour over eight thousand miles,
with the fact that we as Americans
.know less (about each other than Ave
do about foreign countries." -tle suggests-
that there should be a depart
ment cl government to teach congest
ed population where they can find air,
health, wealth and liberty.
Some of the thoughtful writers dur
ing the . last few years, tell us that
the American people put a higher va
lue upon the promoters of industrial
success than they, do upon the teachers
lit religion and morals; that the stain
of sin fades before the color of gold;
that the "jingle of the guinea" drowns
the ringing cf the church bells. Of
the founder of, a polygamous colony
in America, which s usually described
as a "blot on our civilization," Senator
Depew said:
"Strange as it may appear, the his
torian in looking over our century and
eating the benefactions of our country,
will fiVe a plae, and a good one, to
Iirighani Young. He saw that if he
brought water from the mountains and
distributed it on the plain, he could
produce an earthly paradise for his
vo-religionists. He also discovered
that the real secret of successful farm
ing is n. small farm which the farmer
and his family can look after personal
ly and attend to every detail. Utah is
the most prosperous of inter-montane
States and Salt Lake Ms the largest
eity." But Mormonism gave Young his
great opportunity. In Stockton's re
cent history of the "Buccaneers in
America," he mentions a bloodthirsty
"missionary" pirate, who plundered
ships and then founded churches with
the proceeds. Is this benevolent
pirate to be reckoned also among the
benefactors of mankind? Why cannot
wiicked men be compelled by law to be
.'either good or bad? Senator Depew
does not like to say that the sood
which Brigham Young did is owing to
a "mysterious Providence." He states
the fact that this polygamous founder
really did more good in the world than
millions of men who -were not poly
gamous. But he does not clear up the
matter.
These speeches will be referred to
again.
NICARAGUA CANAL.
Rear Admiral Francis J. Higginson
says, "It is astonishing, in view of the
s? i :;ris consequence: involved, with
what indifference and pro ra.s; ination
the
project oi ine .Nicaragua canal
seems to be enveloped."
The truth is that behind this ever-
lasting talk about the necessity for
the canal, there is a strong suspicion
that its construction may giva more
" ct,.-. .w ijinu LLiaii L-.j . iii'-i i j..
Uncle Sam does not like to be "taken
in." He cannot keep th? cana! to
himself, and he fears that Hritish com -
merce will have the best of it, it lie . bill makes it obligatory to cr:m;e jn

project. Senator Daniel saitl: ' Uuild The sooner we realize tli ' fa. t
up our marine service first, and then ' we lie at the cross ways of ihe Pa. il
open a canal. Why open it first and
let tho Dritish use it, until we have
created a marine ?2ivic??'

which are owned by Americans, and

thousands of armed Chinese peas-1
ants living near Kiaochou have unitetl I
'and tried to destroy the railway which
the Germans are building. The Ger
man infantry shot a number of the
rioters.
We despise these peasants because
they 'are ignorant, but we also forget
that there were riots in Germany many
years ago after the railways were con
structed. The potato rot anncared in
Prussia the year after one line was
constructed, and the peasants believed
that the railway Drought the rot.
Several attempts were made to tear up
the tracks. A good many of the New
England farmers protested against the
construction of railways because they
might, it was believed, decrease the
value of horses. Within twenty years.
a mob of farmers in Eastern Marv-
land tore up the tracks of a. railway
because they might increase the price
of negro labor in the eastern part of
the State. The civilized races are
only a generation in advance of the
Chinese in this respect. The racial
habit is weaker in the Anglo-Saxon
than in the Chinese. Twenty years
ago the Chinese bought from the En
glish owners the new railway betwe3n
Shanghai 'and Woosung. The rails and
locomotives were carried to an island
and made into a rubbish heap. To-day
new rails are laid, and there is a large
traffic in which the Chinese share. Mr.
Brice who has recently surveyed a
route through middle China says the
Chinese will approve of the railways
after they have once "smelt of them
like horses," and find that they do not
breed wicked spirits.
CREMATION IN EX 1 LAND.
The people of England are beginning
to take a serious view of the subject
of cremation. This method of dispos
ing cf the dead would relieve the poor
of a burden of expense, and sanitary '
conditions dem'and it.
A bill providing for it has been re
ported favorably to the House of Corn-
