, What Reward.
He was a boy most delicately bred.
A town boy and his mother’s only one;
Her fair hands stroked his shapely, curly
head.
She feared, for Ills sake, storm, cold,
and sun.
What liad he, then, to do with suffering?
Hut all brave men she’d taught him to
admire;
So whth he hoard the country's war-cry
ring.
What could she say 7 His eyes were
hers on fire.
A common soldier to the front ho went,
Youth, health, life, love, hope, fame, all
in a breath.
Into one patriotic offering blent.
He flung a gage into the face of Death!
And he redeemed his gage where bullets
hissed
Tipping the charging column’s riving
wedge;
Or, prison penned, with white Ups hunger
Pain’s kissed.
brimming cup he drank, his coun
try's pledge.
Death he defied until death passed him by.
Taking as surety only scars and youth;
Then he came home, nor heaved one
backward sigh
O'er all he’d given up for land and truth.
A common soldier as he went be came.
And yet a hero! Who gives more than
all?
lie who gives all, nor asks for even fame.
W’hat is there, more than a hero, such
to call?
What was he? There were thousands
such as he—
Men every Inch, from crown to tip
toe!
For such, O country, what reward shall
be?
The gods take not; 'tls theirs but to
bestow.
And Godlike men— 1 ’twas manhood that
they threw
Into the scale when treason kicked
beam;
And manhood Is not purchased! Buy
crew
To whom high honor Is a foolish dream!
This boy and all hl8 noble fellows gave
W’hat money buys not, pays not
when given.
This market talk dishonors every grave.
Like simony that e'en would purchase
Heaven.
O-country, cherish lovingly all those In
need,
But do net offer Insult to brave men!
Leave the base scramble to the
greed
That gauges manhood by the cattle pen.
Lift high each hero on a pedestal
Where honor’s sun upon his brows
shine;
8o up the future shall their shadows fall,
To teach our children manhood Is divine.

Spain and Civil Service Reform.
The “dying” of a nation is a tragic
sight. The dying of Spain, the dis
coverer and once the owner of the
greater part of the western hemisphere,
her death throes upon the very spot
where Columbus landed and where he
lies buried, is a tragedy which this na
tion could not watch unmoved, even
were it not the instrument used to give
the death blow. But Spain presents
not merely a tragic spectacle to the
people of the United States, it furnishes
also a lesson and a warning.
This country is called upon to end
the long agony, but Spain has been
wounded unto death by her own sons.
She is a dying nation because of in
ternal corruption and dishonesty, and
the description of the causes of her
ruin has an ominously familiar sound
to American ears. We have in Spain
the spectacle of a nation which con
ducts its government upon the prin
ciples which control Tammany Hall
and the republican machines. Not only
its civil service, but its army and its
navy have for generations been treated
as “spoils,” and the result is before us.
We know well what incompetency,
what weak inefficiency are the neces
sary outcome of such principles, and
it is not to he wondered at that Spain
has failed in every direction. The
whole sad story is summed up in the
words spoken by Don Carlos, at Brus
sels, on the 9th of May:
“The incidents in Cuba and Manila
have revealed neglected defenses, venal
administration, a prevalent substitu
tion of personal for national interests,
corruption fostered by party govern
ment, generously voted millions di
verted from the fulfillment of their pa
triotic purpose to the pockets of fraud
ulent contractors and dishonest state
employee, and disorder, peculation and
mendacity in every department of the
public service.”
But the corruption of Spain is not a
new growth. Mr. Charles Bonaparte
told only the fa.cts when he said at a
civil service reform meeting in New
York, on May 4:
“No experience could be more in
structive as to the evils of the ‘spoils
system’ than our enemy’s. For the
past four hundred years Spain has sys
tematically treated appointments in
her colonial civil service as ‘spoils’—
that is to say, as rewards for success
in palace Intrigues or polUical strug
gles—bestowed upon the proteges of
court favorites and party leaders, with
little, if any, regard for the appointees’

Concentration of Industries.
Interesting statistics showing the
concentration of industry in the Unit
ed States are given by Mr. W. F. Wil
loughby in the Yale Review. Taking
the various figures he shows the
change since 1870 to be:
Establish- Av. No. of Average
Year. ments. employers, products.
1870 252,148 8.15 $13,428
1880 ... 253,502 10.66 21,101
1890 322,638 13.88 28,071
Thus while the number of establish
ments increased hardly at all dhring
the decade from 1870 to 1880, the num
ber of employes increased 31.49 per
cent, and the value of the produce
57.79 per cent, and that while the num
ber of establishments increased from
1880 to 1890 but 27.27 per cent, the
number of employes and value of the
product increased twice as fast, or
65.77 and 69.31 per cent respectively.
In textile manufactures of all kinds
from 1850 to 1890 the number of estab
lishments increased but 36 per cent,
while the number of employes increas
ed 248 per cent and the value of the
product 465 per cent. The average
number of employes per establishment
has thus steadily risen from 48.5 in
1850 to 64.1 in 18e0; 67.4 in 1870; 95.1
in 1880, and 124.4 in 1890. Striking are
the statistics for flour and grist mills.
In 1840 there were 26,661 grist mills
and in 1890 but 18,470. In 1840 there
were 31,650 sawmills and in lSOO^there
were only 21,011. Yet the product and
number of people employed has in
creased. The sawmills of 1880 had an
average of six employes and those of
1890 fourteen employes and the aver
age product was $3,889 in 1880 and
$8,192 in 1890. From 1880 to 1890 the
number of establishments fell from
1,943 to 910, yet the product increased
from $37,109,316 to $49,668,386, and em
ployes from 39,580 to 42,544. The aver
age number of employes has increased
from five in 1850 to forty-seven in
1890. It would be tedious to follow the
Inquiry through all the industries, hut
these shows unmistakably the trend to
ward concentration.
Pertinent Questions.
The Rev. Frank Bristol, pastor of the
First M. E. church of Washington, D.
C., said in a recent sermon that, com
paring the twelve per cent illiteracy of
the United States with the seventy-five
per cent illiteracy of Spain, we may
boldly declare that the victories of the
war just closed were won by the school
master. And this does not mean that
God is to be counted out. “The more
science the more God In the world’s
history,” he truly says. And apropos
of modern history he asks: “Is this a
less providential age than the age of
Moses? Is the electric light less provi
dential than the pillar of fire? Is a Da
kota wheat harvest less providential
than a shower of manna? Is a South
Carolina cotton crop less providential
than the quails in the wilderness? Was
the discovery of America less provi
dential than the finding of Canaan?
Was the Declaration of Independence
less providential than the Decalogue of
Sinai? Were the guns of Dewey and
Sampson less providential than the
rams’ horns of Joshua, the lamps and
pitchers of Gideon or the rod of Moses?
Were Manila and Santiago less provi
dential in the history of human free
dom than Jericho and Ai? Is Christian
civilization less providential than was
barbarism?” Pertinent ques
these and suggestive of the future
of this nation.
Labor Notes.
The labor press all over the country
that work in every Industry is
up.
Eight thousand coal miners of Ten
nessee have secured a seven per cent
increase in wages without a strike.
Denver department stores have dis
all children under 14 years of
aa the result of agitation by Den
labor unions.
Judging from the accounts of elabo
preparations for Labor Day cele
this year, as given in the dif
labor papers, they indicate that
will be a memorable day in the an
of labor affairs in this country.
The movement which was begun
a month ago at Fall River, Mass.,
for its object the closing down milis
25 or 30 of the principal cloth
four weeks, has failed, and ail the
will continue in operation.
THE ARTFUL COYOTE.

color is indescribable. He is
white nor black nor yellow,
any other well-defined color; but
a sort of blendiug of all producing a
hue that can best bo described as
coyote. He is not beautiful either in
appearance or character. There is
nothing attractive about him. He is
not troubled with conscientious sam
ples; neither is he brave, and he won’t
fight unless he is compelled to. He
is a scrub wolf in every sense of the
word.
His physical beauty is about He on a
par with his moral aspect. has a
little, peaked-shaped head, in the front
of which, very close together, is a pair
of the brightest, blackest, wickedest
little eyes that ever shone in the moon
light. He does not appear to possess
any great amount of brains; but
there is more unadulterated cunning
wrapped up in his hide than can be
found in the same amount of space
anywhere else in oreation. The man
who imagines that a coyote does not
understand his business just because
he has not a high forehead will soon
learn that the principles of phrenology
do not apply to this epitome of every
thing that is smart, rascally, tricky
and impudent.
In regard to his ability to get over

He is seldom seen in the daytime.
The glare of the sun does not seem to
be suited to his make-up; he prefers to
waltz around among the sagebrush in
the soft light of the moon. During
the day he is of a retiring disposition
and reouperates his exhausted vitality

busy haunts of men and remote from

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Blessed is the influence of one true,
lovinghuman soul on another.—George
Eliot.
He is but the counterfeit of a man
who has not the life of a man.—Shakes
peare.
One ungrateful man does an injury
to all who stand in need of aid.—Pub
lius Syrus.
The more we do the more we can do;
the more busy we are, the more leisure
we have.—Hazlitt.
A true and genuine impudence is
ever the effect of ignorance, without
the least sense of it.—Steele.
Good intentions are very mortal and
perishable things; like very mellow
and choice fruit they are difficult tc
keep.—Simmons.
There is certainly something of ex
quisite kindness and thoughtful be
nevolence in that rarest of gifts—fine
breeding.- -Bulwer.
.Kind words prevent a good deal oi
that perverseness which rough and
imperious usage often produces in gen
erous minds.—Locke.
None so little enjoy themselves and
are such burdens to themselves ae
those who have’nothing to do. Only
the active have the true relish of life.
—Jay.
It is only imperfection that com
plains of what is imperfect. The more
perfect we are, the more gentle and
quiet we become toward the defects of
others.—Fenelon.
x- ■ Meals In Forto Rico.
There are only two meals a day in
Porto Bico among the well-to-do;
breakfast, served at eleven, and din
ner, served at five. Of the two,
breakfast is the more pretentious, be
ing taken with great deliberation and
solemnity, introduced with soup and
accompanied by a beverage. To get a
real meal in San Juan at any but the
regular hours would be next to an im
posibility, and it would be out of the
question to do any business at feeding
time. That all the public officials
may breakfast at leisure, the public
offices are closed between eleven and
one, and the shops are deserted. Fuji
meals are never eaten at the cafes,
however, nor anything heavier than
light cakes, the visits to these resorts
being invariably either just before or
just after breakfast.
Flagp That Have Disappeared.
Of thirty-five flags shown in a flags
of all nations supplement to a Lon
don weekly in 1858, barely forty years
ago, eleven have disappeared, among
them those of the East India Com
pany, of the Ionion islands, of Tus
cany, Ohuroh, Naples and the States of the
of the Russia-American
Company and of Sardinia.
Clergymen Marrying Themselves.
“The law is very blank on the ques
which occasionally conies up, as
the legal right of a clergyman to
himself,” observed a well
lawyer. “Of course there are
many clergymen who have ever
that they had the legal as
as Hie ecclesiastical right to per
marriages, when they were per
parties to it, and there never
will he, from the peculiar eireum-,.
stances of the ease. As far as the
laws of this District are concerned,
however, a clergyman is just as com
petent to marry himself as he is to
marry others, for the reason that the
laws do not say anything to the con
rary, and the clergyman’s certificate
the marriage lias been performed
is all that is needed to make it lawful.
I am not up in ecclesiastical law to
any great extent, and 1 am not able
to explain the church ordinances, hut
as far as I can learn a clergyman of
any of the leading denominations has
all the church right to marry himself
that lie lias to marry others, The
court of queen’s bench in Dublin, on
November 10, 1855, had a case of this
kind under consideration, the only
point in issue being whether a clergy
man could marry himself. The case
was very fully argued, and is reported
in the reports of that court and quoted
by many English law writers. The de
cision was in lie affirmative, and that
is the law of England to-day. Some
of the state laws may have thought it
necessary to express an opinion in the
matter, hut I have never seen any.
The case that I refer to is cited in
the hooks as that of Beamish agt.
Beamish. It was a proceeding for a
divorce, in which the question wns
raised that there never had been a
marriage.”—Washington Star.
Russia Hoarding Gold.
Financiers want to know why Rus
sia is accumulating such an immense
store of gold, and certainly the ques
tion' is not without interest to the poli
tician. A huge gold reserve implies
that a great war will not lack the
necessary sinews. Why should Rus
sia, who already possesses a larger
stock of gblil than any other govern
ment, keep on adding to her store of
the precious coin. It is two years
since she began her -accumulations,
and apparently she lias no intention
of stopping them, for the latest arrival
of gold from the Cape lias been wholly
purchased for Russian account. Yet,
with a stock on hand already reckoned
at $600,000,000, the need for this pur
chase is not very apparent. A signifi
cant feature ol’ the case is that when
ever notice is called to those Russian
gold purchases they cease for a while,
only to be resumed as soon as public
attention is turned another way.—Not
tingham (England) Guardian.

The Price of Disobedience.
In one of his campaigns, Frederick
the Great of Prussia, to preveut his
whereabouts being betrayed to the
enemy, ordered all lights to be extin
guished at a certain hour. The king
occasionally passed through the camp
at night to ascertain whether his or
der was strictly attended to.
One night he observed a light in one
of the tents, and, entering it, found
nn officer sitting at a table closing a
letter. Asked how he dared thus dis
regard the king’s command, the offi
cer replied that he had been writing
a letter to his wife.
The king ordered him to open his let
ter, to take his pen and to add these
words: “Before this letter reaches your
hands I shall have been shot for dis
obeying an order of the king.”
The sentence was harsh, but the
crime was great,. risking as it did the
lives of thousands. Frederick’s or
ders were ever afterward strictly
obeyed.—Spare Moments.
Upward of 500 tons of gold, which is
about one twenty-fifth of all the gold
in the world, lie in the treasure vaults
of New York city. It would outweigh
ten locomotives. .
