HEN the fields,
where on ce
waved the
ripened grain.
lie yellow and bare under the wan
in?' light of the year, it is fitting
that we would muse upon the past,
nd, remembering the promise of
spring,' the beauty of summer and the
fulfillment of autumn, should draw
therefrom hope and inspiration for the
future. Verily, the life of man is as
that of the "grass which perisheth,"
and the life of nations is the aggregate
of the existence of its individuals, and
all have within their death the germ of
the after-existing. . Not a root of en
deavor and longing sinks down into
eternity, drops its flower and seed and
is forgotten of earth, but has its res
urrection, and there is not a storm that
bows the head nor a lightning flash
that rends the soul with pain but carry
on their wings radiance for the flower
and vigor for the seed.
The year over which now the ashes
of reinemurance are scattered has been
to our nation a time of travail. From
the hearthstone of the artisan have gone
up the wail of huD.ry childhood and
the prayer of destitute mothers. The
hammer and the anvil have been cov
ered with rust. The heart-beats of
commerce have been so faint and feeble
that timid souls, gazing from afar upon
our afflicted nation, have cried that she
was upon the yerge of dissolution, that
her proud edifices of Fraternal Love
and Domestic Content were crumbling
to the dust. The seasons have frowned
upon the husbandman, and there has
been distress east and west, north
and south; fire and famine, flood
and insurrection have touched the
land, and yet the patriot people of our
country, though still thrilling with the
memory of recent grief, can look up to
Heaveb and thank God for what the
year has brought. It is not in the sun
light of prosperity that the soul real
ises to the full its blessings, but only
when it has just emerged from the
shadow of calamity is it able to com
prehend the chastening love that
"wounds to heal."
Again has that lesson of the immuta
bility of the law of progressive crea
tion the "survival of the fittest"
been read by those who see in the
events of each passing day the details
of the scheme by which the world is to
be lifted to grander planes of thought
and action. The triumph vere barren
were its teachings unheeded. The
winds, sighing above the graves of
those who perished in their madness,
or fell victims to the inexplicable fren
y of wanton force, bear to us not only
the sound of weeping, they are fraught
with whispers of promise. Liberty,
our mother, our goddess, our best be
loved, smiles while the tear-drops are
yet wet upon her cheeks. Law, ob
scured for a moment by the gathering
elouds, still stands in untarnished
glory and dignity, her scepter touch
ing the eastern and western ; seas, her
garments brightening the whole land,
as the light from the sacred veil, behind
which was God. glorified the temple , in
days of old.
Bowing our faces to the dust we offer
np our thanks, and as we listen to the
sweet-toned bells ringing out the
familiar strains: "Praise the Lord, all
ye people, worship Him in the beauty
of holiness," our souls echo the sounds.
Our harvest may be scanty, the glean
ers may not have returned with siDg
ing, but the . breast of earth and of
fnturity will yield to us treasure all the
richer for the present hoarding; gladder
because ' we have learned our lessoD
aright; sweeter, for the fruit will have
been ripened by the storm as well as
the sun. We take our little ones by
the hand and leading them forth, point
to the barren fields and say: "Remem
ber, oh, my son. the chastening of the
Lord; be wise, oh, my daughter, with
the wisdom of sorrow, and forget not
the thank-offering that is more grate
ful to deity than the wealth laid on
golden altars. High resolves for the
future; repentance for the mistakes of
the past; loyalty to the teachings of
our fathers who sealed their faith in
our country's destiny with their blood;
the cherishing of the ideals that have
raised men from primordial chaos and
will elevate them to ideal excellence;
these, oh, my children, be thy offer
ings!" Gratitude which has within it no
renunciation of self, no striving after
reciprocal virtue as far as it lies within
human power, no soul dedication, is as
barren as the fallow fields, as unfruit
ful as the thorns and thistles.'

A Royal Family Squabble.
The removal of the Grand Duke
Vladimir from St. Petersburg to the
Caucasus is rc garde 1 as the result of a
family squabble. Th.s tlrand Duke's
wife, a Mecklenburg princess, never
embraced the orthodox (J reek faith,
and she 'reproached the Princess Alix
with protestant energy, for anainethiz
ing her religion. 1 he scene between
the two jarred the whole imperial cir
cle. There was a prospect of further
unpleasantness if the Grand Duchess
should remain at court, so the Czar ar
ranged to keep her and h jr. husband at
a distance.

Li:,cot,n, Neb., November 0. The
proceedings begun by the republican
state committee on behalf of Lieuten
ant Governor Majors against Judge
Holcombe, governor-elect, were drop
ped today, and there will be no contest.
Tomorrow was the limit of time for
filing the notice and today after a con
ference it was decided to abandon all
proceedings in that direction. A letter
from Mr. Majors himself -was present
ed to the republican managers, in
which he deprecated what he terras an
"unseemly scramble for an oHice. the
right to which is in doubt." Acting on
this, the committee declares the pro
ceedings closed, and the contest a 'thing
of the past. .

an4 omcial returns from fifty-six
of the ninety-six counties of the state.
Everything is quiet about the Capitol

mored that the face? of the returns as
reported to the state officials give
Evans a plurality of from 9-J5 to 975.
but some of the democratic managers
assert that they will be able to unearth
frauds in some counties There is au
impress'oa in some circles that the of

Secretary Morgan; that he will hold his
figures in absolute secrecy until the
legislature meets and let the president
of h senate take the responsibility of
announcing the result.

Trick.
Spokane, Wash., November 26. A
special from Rosalie, a small town in
thex-astern part of the county, says
that a daring but unsuccessful attempt
was made to rob the ban. at that place
Saturday. The robbers, two in num
ber, rode up on horseback, and while
one of them stool guard on the outside,
the other entered the bank and placed
a revolver at President Weils' "hea l,
commanding him to hand over the coin.
Mr. Wells, with a great piesence of
mind, informed the robber that he
would get the money out of the safe,
but instead 'of doing so he turned the
combination of the safe locking it. The
robber, seeing he was baliied, grabbed
up some loose coin on the counter
along with some private papers, joined
his companion and rode away. Mr
Wells gave the alarm and soon a posse
started in pursuit and are hot on the
trail of the robbers.

SlitcfaeU's Life.
St. Lons, November 20. The acci
dent insurance companies of the coun
try are investigating the death cf Al
bert G. Mitchell, a prominent ' business
man of Memphis. On the night of No-
vemner S Mr. Mitchell left St. Louis
for Memphis over the Chesapeake. Ohio
and Southwestern railway. He had a
berth in a sleeping car. When he arose
the following morninjr he walked out
on the platform. While standing there
the train. gave a lurch and Mr. Mitchell
was thrown from the train. The train
was stopped and Mr. Mitchell's lifeless
body was taken on board. Since his
death it is learned that he' had $52 OOi)
ace'dent insurance.
Of this amount
642,(500 was taken out on the evening of
November S, when he purchased his
railroad ticket. The insurance was
distributed among eight companies. .
GOFF NOT A'CANDIDATE.
i
lie AVill Not Seek the United States Scua
torsliip. Wheki.ing, XV. Va., November 2.1
In a private letter to a friend in the
city Judge Nathan Golf, of the United
States Court of appeals, state.i emphat
ically that he is not a candidate for
United States senator to succeed Mr.
Camden, and that he has no intention
of resigning his position on the bench.
This effectually disposes of the story
that Judge Goff will contest the claim
of ex-Secretary of War Elkins on the
senatorship. Interviews with a ma
jority of the republican membc-rs-clect
to the legislature indicate that Mr. El
kins will receive the caucus nomination
by a practically unanimous vote.
Souvenir Half I.'oUars.
Cixcixxatti, November 20. Another
consignment of Columbian souvenir
half dollars to the amount of $15,000,
was received at the sub-trea:-iury here
from Washington Saturday. These
were originally issued for the World's
Fair commissioners to be sold at ?!
apiece, but any person can get these at
50 cents apic'.-e now in exchange for
gold coin at the sub-treasury. Thev
are legal tender for 50 cents and the
government will always redeem them
for that amount. They can never be
worth le-;s than that, but 'will vi ry
likely increase in value, as the supply
is almost exhausted.

The Fighting Lasted fur eveu Days and
the Jajis Took Roth Guns and Rice.
The Chinese Emperor Says
the Story is Fal ;e.
London, November, 20. The Port
Arthur correspondent of the Central
News sends this dispatch regarding the
taking of Port Arthur by the Japanese:
'"Marshal Oyama" had' approached
Port Arthur steadily for two weeks
with his armies in two divisions. Pas
sage was slow and difficult, as the
roads, where there . were any, were
poor, and the artillery could be brought
forward only after the prisoners nad
prepared the way. The villages jivere
almost empty of supplies. Many oi
them had been plundered bare by the
Chinese.
'kii ini,hiiig began on November U.
Every fort had heavy artillery which
was used with effect. The large Krupp
guns at Hoklnsaa apparently were
served by skilled artuleryists, and were
especially destructive. On the evening
of the Ist, the Chinese still held eight
or nine redoubts on the coast, and had
twenty guns in working order. The
Japanese bivouticed on the.hills. Early
on the morning of the 22d they began
storming the redoubts Eighty guns
and an enormous quantity of rice were
taken. : It was wholly a land fight."
The t hinese Deny It.

Baltimore. November 26. The fu
neral of the famous art collector, Wil
liam T.-Walters took place at Green
mont cemetery yesterday. The proba
ble fate "of the magnificent art gallery
of Mr. 'Walters, the finest private col
lection in the' country, is a matter of
Jeep interest to nearly every person in
this and to very many1 in other cities.
Many rumors have spread concerning
the collection and its fate, among them
one to the effect that the treasures will
go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
in New ork, or to the Cosmopolitan
Museum there. President Henry Mar
quand. of the former, stated last night
he had received no notification -of a
bequest to that museum by Mr. Walters
of his t plendid collection. , Those near
to the late Mr. Walters during the later
years of his life say that nc
one knows what disposion he has
biade of his, gallery, and no one will
know until his will is read. Until such
information is gained all reports and
rumors must be speculative and based
on no accurate knowledge. Mr. Wal
ters was a most self-contained and reticent-man
concernirg his own affairs,
and. in all iirobabi'lty,- never spoke to
any one of his intentions concerning
the disposition of his art treasures
after his death.

The Earthquakes In Italy Have Done Ter
rible Damage.
Rome, November 26. Dispatches re
ceived here - from Beggio that there
are 50,000 persons in that district who
have been rendered homeless by the
earthquake. Many bodies were up
heaved in the cemetery of San Procopia
at the time it was disturbed by the
earthquakes, and a number of bodies
remain in sight and will have to be re
interred. Horrible scenes have been
witnessed in the stricken districts,
where numbers of 1 jople have been
wounded and in several cases horribly
maimed. Some the sufferers had limbs
torn off, which caused their death be
fore they could be removed from the
streets. Slight eartquakes and subter
raneous rumblings continue to be felt
at Milazzo, Sicily, where the inhabi
tants are still terror .-.trickeu..
