DRTALMAGE TALKS Of the Aohievementa of Hand and Brain During the Year Tfcis disoourno of Dr. Talm .go is a national congratulation over the achievements of brain and hand during the paBt twolvo months. Tho texts are: I Corinthians ix, 10, "IIo that plowoth should plow in hope;" i-air.h xli, 7, "Ho that sinootheth with the hammer;" Judges v. 14. "They that handle the pi n cf the writer." Welocme, JL'banksgiviny day! Whit ever we may think of Now England theology, wo all like Now England Thauks giving day. What means the steidy rush to tho depots and tho long rail trains darting their lanterns along too tracks ot tho lioston and Lowell, the Georgia Central, tho Chicago Great Western, the St. Paul and Duluth and thr Southern railwav ? Ask the happy group in tho New Ejgi&cd farmhouse. Ask the villagers whose song of praise in tho morning will come over tho Berk shiro hills. Ask all tho plantations of j the routh which havo adopted tho Now j England custom of setting apart a dry , of thanksgiving. Oh. it is a great d?v of national festivity! Clap your nance, yo people, and shout aloud for joy! Through tho organ pipes lot there come dowu the thunder of a nation's rejoicing! Blow the cornet! Wave tho palm branches! "Oh that men weald praieo the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to tho ohiidrou of men!" For two years and a ha'f this nation has been oelobratirg tno triumph of sword and gun and battory. Wo bavo sung martial airs and cheered returning heroes and soendod tho requiem for tho slain in battle. M-'thinks it wi!l bo a boslthful ehango if on this year's Thanksgiving in ohuroh and homestead we oolebrate the victories of the plow, the hammer and tho pen, for nothing was done at Santiago or Manila that was of moro importance than that which / ' in tho last year has been done in farmor'B field and mechanic's shop and author's study by thore who nevev were an cpaulot or shot a Spaniard or wont a hundred miles from their own dcorsill.

In all our tooapatioup and professions wo foel tho effect of a crippled or onlargcd mechanical enterprise.

SELF fcUSTAINING. That I< What la Said of the Postal Department. A self sustaining service, brought by iho yetrly iooroaso of the postal revenues resulting from general extension of rural freu delivery is tho oonolubion reaehod by First Assistant Postmaster General Win. Johnson in his annual report. Oi the gross postal revenues of tho UQi?e<i ctatett lor tho past fiscal T<??r $74,295 394 otrno from 866 delivery cities. Tim remaining 3 BOO prssid ntial pcBtiffiws violded $16 003,252, while the $72 479 fourth olas.s poatcfii'ca irjducod $18,913 519. Mr. Johnson nays tbo fait that tbe poetal icrvioo in the largest cities is praoiio&lly poifeot is the explanation of why tbo annual pcroen.ago cf inorcaso in tno rovenao of tbe free uc livtry postoffiecs should bo throo limes greater than in the imallor ouics and five times is large as tnat of th? fourth olass cflijes. As rural froo dolivory reaches out into tho oountry jiving equal facilities without regard to lootli ty, ho nays it inoreascs tho rovenuos at a rato at least equal to that maintained in the frco delivery cities, where, during tho past tivo years, it has avoragod 8 por oent. At the end of the present fiscal year 8 600 rural routes will bo in cuooesbfui operation, 6,000 boing in effeot by Doocmbor 2 Tho latter figuro rcprosouts just 50 years ago. Tho inextblo policy is announoed of avoiding horcaftor maintenance of unnecessary postoffiocs and pnpcrflaous star routes contemporaneously with rural free dolivery routes. On .July 1 last tho foroo of 4,301 rural carriers wsb serving 2,840,6 4 4 poople at a fraction over 75 ocms por capita, and on Deoombor nex*. 4,000,000 of the rural population will oo orj )>ing frco delivery. Kvory establishment of a route, the report says, is followed promptly by a steady increase in tho volumo cf mail, both delivered aDd collected. Tho oi'.y froe delivery now embracoa 866 oilicH and towns, including four in the now insular possesions, all those employing an army of 16,389 uni formed who colieot ar.d carry tho mails two or moro timea each work ing day to 3*2,000,000 patrons. Tho total cost por annum to tho dopartmont fcr this scrvioe i? 50 cen?s par oepita Fighting the MachinePrcsidont RoobcvcU, according to the belief cf many politicians in Washing ton, is Booking by appointments to build up a Resscvck machine in tbo ou-un'ry, which will bo powerful to nomiaato him for president in the next Republican national convention. R M. Moorman in the Atlanta .Jouruai Bays tbe president realizes that the real machine of the party is against him, that Senator llacna is not his political frioud, that Senator Piatt forced him upon tho tiokct ar tho vico presidential candidate in order to got him out of New York politic*, where ho was a disturbing factor for tho Rspublio.n 1 organization. Thcroforc, in tho mailer of appointments it would not bo in the uaturo <f Roosevelt to turn to Lis one 1 micB, and ho iB breaking away from tho ' machine with a rapidity tbr.t is at ccee 1 startling and unn.nul Th? i four nrtional Republican comittoomon in aa many southern Btates havo Iroady been turuod down. It is genoraWy the : case that a national committc"bm>a re- 1 ooives groat consideration at the , house but under the Koosr velt adnyinii tration thui far this has not be jfa tho rulo. Too president is headstrong and is going to havo his own way about things, ilis appointments havo b',jon in the nature of surprises for nojutpof the older party leaders and the only way they can figure out tho actions cf the jiow president is that ho is lr?ing to build up a maohino of his owa ia order to so cure a nomination fer tho presidency. Thero is now ponding a Litter fight bo twoen S 'cretary llitchoA and National Committeeman Kerens, of Missouri,ftr the political mastery in that stato. It is staged in tho best informed circles that Kerens will bo givon the worst end of tho proposition tad if this bo true, H josovclt will have slapped five national committeemen in tho face already. Pusidont Rooseve't has his own-way about doing things and ho doce not hesitate to carry out what ho thinks should bo done, oven though it be against tho advice of tho wKct politicians in the Republican party. FiRhting Gorman. Ex-Senator Gorman, of Maryland, is generally bolicved to bo harborng an ambition to be president of tho United States. In fan, it seems to be lakon for grantod that ho is an aotivo eandi da'e for the Democratic nomination in 1904 ilis assured re-election to the serato by tho legis'aturo that was cho sen in Maryland this month has given great hope to those who aro boosting him for that honor. It has also had tho effect of drawing the IPc of those who do not consider Mr Gorman the nost desirable leader tho Democracy oould put forward in its next national eontost. Tho Conservative, a weekly newspaper, edited by J. Sterling Mor ton ami published at Nebraska City, says: "Tho ro incarnation of Arthur Phew! Gorman recalls the persistency of his adherence to tho Republican dootiiDe of a protective ta'itf, whon in tho sonato of tho United States ho led four oth r alleged Democrats iu tho barbaric mutilation of tho revenue bill of tho i?*o \V.
