There is anotner Bide to tne situation, however, and that is that the whole drop in securities was a carefully planned coup on the part of the big manipulators who know that they could . buy back at an immense profit the stocks whose paper r values they so ruthlessly slaughtered. Of course the situation was rep resented to the White House as serious the first day of the flur ry. But the Tresident denomina ted it as a gambler's panic and took no more interest in it. Still there was an urgent demand for more money from New Yorlj and to to save a good many innocent o.e r s o n s. Secretary Cortelyou opened the Treasury Department and "relieved the situation as has been done so many times be fore bv buving bonds and releas Imr banks from their obligations to retire so much currency month iy. ; . V Nowthecreis is over there is considerable speculation as to what the railroads are going to do. Especially is it' wondered whether the . railroad presidents who were to have come to the White House to see the President will persist in that intention. Al ready one of . them, Mr. McCrea, ot the 1'ennsylvania, nas announ ced that he will not come with out a special invitation, and as he, of course will not get that, it- looks as tboughtthewholescheme os the visit would fall through. Whether t h'e .officials come to Washington or whether .they do not, there is certain to fee K con siderable additional railroad leg islation at the nextsession of Congress, and before the mag. nates get through, t hey probably will wish they had taken counsel with the President when they had a good chance. One of the m o 8 1 important moves on the part of the govern ment recently was that of the consular examination held here this week. There were fifteen or twenty men, mostly young men who took the examination. Hie decisions have not been publish ed and will not be for some time, but it marks, the beginning of real reform in the consular service when the best man will get the job. And the possibilities of foreign trade for this country are so immense and heretofore have been so neglected, that anything looking to improvement in this line is to be welcomed. .... i - The applicants were appointed to take the examination Very much as the cadets are appointed for examination at West foint or Annapolis. One, of the first qualifications of a caudidate was a good working knowledge of Fren c ly German, Spanish ,or Russian. A section of the exami nation was devoted to language, and beside this were a series of examinations on commercial re sources of the United , States, trade and bankinglaws of foreign countries, international law and political , economy, and a f e w similar things. One can imagine an examination pi that sgrt be lng put to many of the political henchmen,' retired school leoeueta and ministers and other derelicts with whom the service ha-been delivered in Washington this week. It was on the same line of foreign trade and contained a good many trusts that were so old and so patent that it woulcj seem needless to impress them on wide awake American manfac turers except for the fact that they have been hammered at m government reports for years past and seem to made abso lntelv no imrjressiort. Mr. Austin pointed out that the possibilities of trade between this country ana Far East were almost limitless. Of the clothing and household utensils that were imported in to the Oriental countries, he said that 90 per cent., came from Europe, and only one per cent., from the Uxiited States. In ex planation, he said that the trouble was that too many A- merican manufacturers relied on foreign agents who would rather push the goods of their own coun try than of the United States. But he said that art equally serious error on the part of A merican manufacturers was that they tried to educate foreigners especially Orientals, up to using stock goods of Americon man ufacturer rather than to cater to the trade as they fouud it. For instance, if a certain pattern of cotton or cloth, goods made a hit with the people of the Malay Archipelago,, the agents of the French, English' and tierman firms on the ground would hurry saniDleshometo their own houses and immediately goods would be . . ... - A manufactured to suit tne market and would be forthcomming in quantities. But with the Ameri can houses it was different. They wanted the natives -to accept the latest New York styles whether it was dress goods or rat traps, and they lost trade wnme iney weretrving to educate the na tives into using something they did not want. Tins is an old story with government officials who have had to deal witn a- Lmerican foreign trade relations.. But it is a lesson that American manufacturers seem woefully slow to learn, and until they do learn it the foreign trade of the country is bound to lag' far be hind that of other nations. Representative elect Hobson made a speech to the Navy League here this week that gives a very e-ood idea of one of the forms of legislation The will try to push when he gets into the House oi Renresentatives. He said t hat he was first, of all a man of peace and was the last one to wisn tins country to indulge in a foreign brawl. But he pointed out the immense commerce and foreign interest of this country and said the safest mid cheapest peace, m surance we could have was a navv that could meet any two navies likely to be sent against us. lie said frankly he was ' in favor of a big naval program, and that he looked on it .an in vestment and one of the best in vestments that could possibly be made in tne interests of interna tional peace. (job. The contemplation of any in quiry regarding Qod and Christ, we must ansume with tlwpreatcst reverence and regard. We are too prone to familiarize with God and His providential Heir. There is too readily a flippancy in the assumption of a quahnance with God and Christ. The name should inspire awlul reverence, and should he treated with re Euluy Lite. Don't be melancholy! Melan cholia is the mother of dyspepsia and the grandmother of failure! No man can hate himself and en joy life, The man who goes a- bout with a grouch on his face and a desire in his heart to trike his mother-ih-law, has missed the philosophy of lif ing. Melancholy is responsible for more mediocre, work than lack of ability. Do spf-clful silence ottcn when . we your work cheerfully, if you don't assume to use it liiihtlv.

We are puftpd up that He should have created us and think oniwlves stupendous that He should have spnt His Only Bpgotten Sou to die to rt4- deeni'ns. The writer ronHsses to a leeling of indescribable and in eXpressiblp rpverentinl prntitude at the mention ol God's name, and a shirking introspection of his own littleness in the knowl edge -ol Almighty Christ.

Another fine road, 1,500 miles in length, ex tends from Calcutta to 1'eshawur at the frontier of Alghanistafl These roads are kept in perfect repair, and were built originally fof military purposes before the advent of railroads Many of the native prince's give particular care to their roads.
