The more one hears of Harry Orchard
he harder it becomes to classify him;
but more for the -want of a class, than
for the elementary', reason! that might
give specific assignment. "
It develops, at last, that the man
really has feelings, " emotions, nerve;
that they may be aroused to the point
of expressionj that he possesses tear
ducts that are actually useable; that
he is amenable to the same pressure and
effects of reproachful speech other peo
ple are, and exhibits the same sort of
reaction thereto other normal mortals
do. Up to the moment be allowed bis
eves to fill with tears at the mention of
hia Cripple Creek wife, it was common
conclusion that ha was a veritable
monster, 'minus all feeling and the
niesns of significant manifestation of
the eame. Before he is off the witness
stand it is barely possible that we shall
find him giving further and more re
markable testimony of the possession of
human emotions and impulses; in which
event he will lapse back to the ordinary.

TOTE BIT OF FAME.
There is a rare bit of fame being
stored np for Ezra Meeker, the hale old
pioneer who hag retraced the trail he
followed to Oregon and the Northwest
in 1852, in the same old "prairie
schooner" he used then, to the New
York of today. He is somewhere to the
eastward of Buffalo today and plodding
along at 20 miles a day, en route to
the home of the President of the coun
try, at Oyster Bay, L. L He is accom
panied by a journalist, a photographer,
Idleness the Deadliest Sin.

HE sin of doing nothing is tho doiulliest of the seven doiufly
sins. Wo are her to save men. Mou cannot be saved alone.
THE SAVED MAX 'MUST SAVE MEN. The city
must be saved. Tho stato must be saved. The nation must
be saved. We are here to claim tho world of polities as Christ'
world, to cleanse political life of its self seeking, iu FRACTICAL'
ATHEISM and corruption and ehango pur human society iuto A

To this ministry NO LIMITS CAN BE SET. Its parish Is
the whole wide world of anon, but there is ouo precise and specific
application to it to which no American who loves his country can
afford to be indifferent. ' ' ,

i It is not forme to lecture about American conditions, It is tot
me to learn nat they are. But the most thoughtless onlooker from the
old world who has ever read a page of history knows that in the rush
to these shores of millions upon millions of tho European peoples
Americans are confronted by a problem such as no nation has yet
had to solve SINCE HISTORY BEGAN. I read the figures which
set this problem visibly before the eyes of men, and I am lost in
amazement j-
The quickest way, the most economical AND THE MOST
PERMANENT WAY of making these people good Americans and
good patriots is to make them good Christians. To u. who know and
to men snd women like us are intrusted this solemn responsibility
and the SPLENDID privilege.

of the man who most happily thought
out the scheme and who will make the
most of it remarkable features, ami
the chronicle of which will make rich
and Taluable reading for everyone. The
real' compensation to this wonderfully
energetie old man, however, will be the
granting of his heart's desire, the crea
tion of a national highway of the old
road from the Missouri to the Pacific,
by the Government, in commemoration
of the great pioneer throng that fol
lowed that trail to the west and con
tributed to the nprearing of an empire
out here. If this generrous and grate
ful wish is granted him, be will have
done his own most prideful task, and
rendered the people of the past, and the
future, an Immense service.
"HE WAS A MAN."
' Not alone the State of Alabama, the
South, but the whole country, loses
heavily in the death of such a man as
United States Senator John T. Morgan.
He was not only a leader in the Demo
cratic party and its sponsor and cham
pion in the great national house, but
he was a thinker and doer along the
broadest lines of human endeavor, and
clean to his last fibre. In the half cen
tury of public life that lies to his credit,
not one small nor questionable circum
stance rises against him; and it is one
of the real pleasures of a public writ
er's work to chronicle such a fact. He
was always to the front with some big
and useful thing and commanded whole
some respect for everything he stood
for; some of these presentations were
not what the country wanted; but hi
espousal of them was not the least of
the merits that recommended them, and
so far as he was concerned they were
most considerately, when adversely, dia-

excessive politeness of Governor Hughes,
