Rem embek that a noble life is more powerful in teaching and inspiring others than are many eloquent words. SOME men take so much time telling what they could do if they had an op­ portunity, that the opportunity passes by unobserved. . WISCONSIN people have already re­ ceived orders for more than 50,000 Christmas trees to be shipped east Old Santa Clans has evidently begun to fed the effects of the prosperity. THE "Whiteside Sentinel, published by Charles Bent, of Morrison, 111., was changed some six months ago to a semi- weekly. The advertising patronage haa been insufficient to guarantee a con­ tinuance, and the paper has been again changed to a weekly. This is to be re­ gretted as Mr. Bent is one of the ablest editors in Illinois and the Sentinel is one of the best oonntfei newspaper* pub­ lished. All persons who believe in resting one day in seven as an economic prin­ ciple in the industrial and physical world, as well as the grand host who regard theSabbath as sacred, will be interested to know that, out of 1,100, 000 persons engaged in gainful occupa­ tions in Massachusetts, 37,000 are em­ ployed on Sundays. This does not^in- clude those in domestic service, but it does include 18,000 employed in trans­ portation business. Of the remaining 19,000, hotels and restaurants claim the largest share. Except in the business of transportation, there has been practi­ cally little-increase in Sunday labor for many years, a fact that onght to please and encourage Sabbatarians. INCREASED POSTAL RECEIPTS. There is no mistaking the marked significance of the big increases in postal receipts reported continuously by the department These gains are con­ clusive proof of the constant improve­ ments in general business. In spite of the unprecedented [record 'made in all branches of trade last year, this year's business will show 'still larger totals. Business is improving all the time. The people are prosperous, and they are writing more letters and buying more money orders, as the records of the post- office department prove. «oi rate of •' <rtwa#r, • Vi n ntifMi --, . . V BQ8^0U|lpMJU WfcWa death rate or a lowerbirthrate former to the more probable, in viewof the^xaee&ngly rapid growth of artrtak population, while there is no rea­ son to sujypoHe a declining birth rate. In fact, to Judge by European countries, the birth rate of towns is usually higher than that of raral districts. It may be well here to observe that, according to the growth of population in the last five years, the census of 1900 ought to show 300,000 inhabitants." So far as the vast majority of the American people are concerned they will not regret any diminution of the population statist ics which is occasioned by the exclusion of European paupers. To whatever extent such undesirable Immigrants are kept out, the entire nation is benefited, and to a much greater degree than it conld be by showing a big increase in population in the next oensus. 3«A!«"Niws, J.

The substituting of the Articles of the Pretoria convention of 1881 for those of the London convention of 1884 re­ specting the Boer republic's relations with foreign powers. This substitution means the abolition of all right on the part of the republic to deal with foreign powers, and would imply the recall of Dr. Leydt as the Boer commissioner in Europe. 2. The abolition of all legislation re­ specting aliens adopted by the republic since 1861. This would remove all the disabilities placed on the successive Boer ordinances on the Outlanders. 3. The granting of municipal autonomy to the Rand. This would give control of all local affairs--such as polioe, sanitation, etc. to the district mainly inhabited by the Outlander population. It is a revival of the scheme of home rule for the Rand suggested by Mr. Chamberlain to President Kruger after the Jameson raid and contemptuously refused by Kruger. 4. The removal of all religious disa­ bilities. At present the Catholics and the He­ brews are disqualified from holding many offices, even of the most unimpor­ tant kind. 6. The republic Is called upon to re­ nounce its treaty of 1872 with Portugal, under which it is empowered to import arms and ammunition from Delagoa Bay through Portuguese territory. 7. Indemnity is demanded for Brit­ ain's outlay in sending out troops and other military preparations. So far as the outside world is able to form an opinion there is no just grounds for these harsh demands. The seventh is perfectly absurd. War oh the Boers will be the crime of the age.

This is the statement of Bank Com­ missioner Breidenthal, who figures ont today that the deposits in TTantum banks will reach $50,000,000. "The total re­ serve, " he said. ' 'is $12,000,000. It is a feather for Kansas, considering that our hanking capital, all told, is only $13,000- 000, and that last week in New York city, where the total banking capital is $80,000,000, the reserve above the gtat- aory minimum was only $75,000." "MORE MONEY FOE THE NAVY. * : Acting Secretary Allen has prepared the full statement of estimates which will be submitted to congress for the maintenance of the naval establishment for the next fiscal year. These amount to $73,045,183, which is an increase over the appropriations for the current year of $24,537,187. Included in the increase for the next year are appropriations of. $12,368,474 for public works and navy yards and stations. There is also an estimate of $2,021,000 for the new naval academy. v FEWER CATTLE. ; The following figure*, gathered from 4dfteial sources by the Drovers' Journal, threw light on the supplies of cattle at the great markets during the past eight years. The figures show the combined receipts of cattle at Chicago, Kansas CSty, Omaha and St Louis for the year mentioned: Number of , r . ^ Cattle Marketed. 'i-r 0,459.270 8,503,154 -n, 156,394 »»*»fit;?:*' 5,537,681 .... .5,697,880 5,985,817 5,846,71« The 1899 figures are not far different from the decreased marketing of 1898. Diminished supply is one leading factor of the situation, while an increased de­ mand, due to the fact that the masses of the people are able to buy meat more largely, is the other. IMMIGRATION AND THE CENSUS. In the October number of The North American Review them appeared a nota­ ble article by M. Gh Mulhall, the dis­ tinguished statistician who has studied for yean the development of the re­ sources of this county, upon the subject of "Five Years of American Progress."
