Divine Bleettnge Showered Upon
the American Peop'e.
OUR COUNTRY AND OTHERS.
Dr. Tiilmage D'?wi Comparison!
Between Them Our Duty to
ExtendThese Blettingt
to the World.
Dr. Talmage preaches a discourse of
Christian patriotism and shows tho ro ourocs
of our country and prodieta the
time when all tho world will havo tho
ame blessings. His two texts are
KeTelation xxi, 13, "On tho south
lVir/>n l'oilm orlvii "Iln
not dealt bo with any nation "
Among tho greatest needs of our
oountry is more gratitude to God for
tho unparalcd prosperity bestowed upon
ui. Ono of my texts oalls us to international
comparison What nation on
all tho planet has of late had such en
largcment of commercial opportunity a?
is now opening beforo this nation?
Cuba and Porto Rico and tho Philippine
Islands brought into oloso oontaot
with us, and through steamship subsidy
and Nicaragua canal, which will surely
be afforded by oongrcss, all tho ropub
lies of South America will bo brought
into most rctivo trado with tho United
States. ' On tho south three gates."
While our next door neighbors, the
southern ropublios and neighboring
colonies, imported from Kuropcan ooun
tries 3,000 miles away $675 000 000
worth of goods in a jear, only $120,000,000
worth went from tho United
States- $126,000,000 out of $676,000.000,
only one-fifth of tho tr<do ours,
European nations taking tho four
fingers and leaving us the -poor thumb
Now all this is to bo ohanged. There
la noiDiog Dut a comparatively Terry bo
tween (ho islands which havo reoontly
come under our protootion, and only a
ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru,
Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Salva
dor, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa lUoa,
Kquador, Bi&zil, whilo there aro raging
aeas and long voyage between them aud
Europe. By the mandato of tho United
States all that will be changed through
new facilities of transportation. Tho
Hispano American oongress j rat closed
at Madrid will fail in its attempt to
divert all tho trado of Sruth Amorioi
from us to Europe. What enoouraging
symptoms that our trade withCaba and
Porto Kico has been quadrupled! But
that is only a prophecy. 4 On tho south
throe gatos"?yea, a hundrod gatos!
In anticipation of what is sure to
como, I nail on tho front door of this
nation an advertisement:
Wanted.?One hundred thousand
men to build railroads through South
Amerioa and the ia'ands of tho act
under our protection.
v> antou. ? a thoucan<l telegraph opor
ators.
Wanted. ?One hundred million dollars'
worth of dry goods from tho groat
oitieB of tho United Statos.
Wanted. ?All tho cloaks you oan
mako at Now Haven and all tho brains
you oan sparo from Boston and all tho
bells you can mold at Troy and all tho
MoCormio rrapors you oan fashion at
Chioago and all tho hams you oan turn
out at Cincinnati -and all tho railroad
iron you oan send from Pittsburg and
all tho statesmen that you can spare
from WashiDg'on.
Wanted.?ltight away, wanted by
new and swifter steamers, wanted by
railtrain, lawyers to plead our causes
Wanted.?Doctors to ourd our siok
Wanted ?Ministers to evangelize
out population.
Wantod ? Professors to establish our
universitos.
' On the soulh thrco gates," yea, a
thousand gates, South America and all
tho islandi of tho sea approximate are
rightfully our commercial domain, and
the congro-s of tho United Statoa will
see to it that we get what bolong* to ua.
And then tides of travel will bo somewhat
divortcd from Eiropo to our is
lands at tho south and to tho land of
the Arucs. Much of tho $1*25 000,000
yearly expended by Americans in
Europe will bo expended in southern
exploration, in looking at somo of tho
ruins of tho 47 citios which Stephens
found only a little way apart and in
walking through the great doorways and
over tho miracles of inobaio and along
by the monumental glories of aDotber
civilization, and anoient America will
with oold lips of stono kiss the warm
lips of modern Amcrioa, and to have
een tho Andes and Popooatopetl will
be deemed as i nportant as to havo soon
tho Alpine and Balkan ranges, and
there will be fewer people spoiled by
foreign travel, and in our midst loss of
the poor and nauseating imitation of
the French shrug and tho intentional
hesitanoy of a brainless foreign swell.
The fast is that many aro mado vain by
European travel, and, though sensible
when they embarked, they return with
a oollar and oravat and a shoe and a
float and a ntnnnn?i?linn ? "' -

tempt for Amerioan institutions and a
bend of the elbow that make ooe believe
in evolution backward from man
to ape. Of tho many thousands who
now cross the sea annually thousands
will, on pleasure and business, visit
southern lands, and so tourists and
merohants and scientists and capitalists
will all help in this national develop
ment. "On the south three gatos."
And what other nation has suoh openings
for oommeroial enlargement as
ours."
Again, in this international oompar
ison notioe the happy oondition of our
eountry as oompared with most countries:
Russia undor tho shadow of tho
dreadful illness of her great and good
emperor, who now, more than any man
in all the world represents "peaoe on
earth, goodwill to men" and whose em
press, near the most solemn hour that
ever comes to a woman's soul, is anxious
for him to whom she has given her hand
and heart, not for political reasons, but
thoughola fashioned love suoh aa bless
as our humbler dwellings; India under
the agonies of a famine whioh, though
aomewhat lifted, has filled hundreds of
thousands of graves and thrown millions
into orphanage: Austria only waiting
for her genial Fraueis Joseph to die so
as to let Hungary riso in rebellion and
pake the palaoe of Vienna quake with
insurroction:~ Spain in Carlizt revolulion
and pauperized an seldom as any
nation has been pauperized: Italy under
the horror* of her k'ne's a?sa?sina
tion: China shudders with a foar of
diremberment, her capital in possession
of foreign nations After a review of
the oondition in other lands can you
find a more appropriate uttoranco is ro
gard to our country than thorxdaina
tion of tho text, "Ho hath not dealt so
with any nation?"
Comparo tho autumnal report of har
vests in Amorioa thin year and tho har
vests abroad. Last suuiuior I crossed
110 oontincnt of Europo twioo, and 1
saw no suoh harvests as aro spoken of
in thin statement. Hoar it, all you mon
and womon who want everybody to havo
enough to eat and wear. I havo to toll
you that tho corn orop of our country
this year is ono of tho largost crops on
record?2 105.OIK),000 bushels! The
orop, though smaller than atBomo times,
will en that aooount bring bigger prioos,

Again, in this international comparison
there is not a land whose wagos

Again, thcro is no land on earth
where the political condition is so sat
isfactory as ours. Every two years in

Hut England ohanges government just

and in comes another. Administrations
chango thero, but not as advantageous

almost any day, while with us a party
in power oontinues in powor at least
four years.
It is said that in our country wo havo
moro dishouesty in tho ?:e of public
funds than in other lands. Tho differ
enoo is that in our oountry almost overy
official has a ohanco to steal, while in
othor lands a few peoplo absorb so mush

by wodding his mother in-law,
Mrs. Albcrtina Abrahams. It was 6aid
that ho hfid learnod to lovo her oooking
boforo ho proposed and sho aoooptod
him. Many of tho wiso and learnod
havo married their oooks, but Ilirsoh,
waiviog disparity in ago, outdid tho
old timo philosophers and solved tho
mothor-in law problom by ono bold
atroko of genius. Tho bridogroom was
30 and tho brido 00.
In Minneapolis, tho other day, Elward
K )tn shattored con rontional ideas
by marrying his stopdaughtor, who ift
18, this prooecding having transposed
his former wifo, from whom ho was divorced,
iato his mother-in law. Tho
lattor is said to havo been as indifferent
to tho chango as if sho had never met
her Bon in law.
From Ohioago, long noted for its surpiisinK
statistios in marriaurn ?nH <ti
vorco, oouios tho rcoord for tho swiftest
oouriship of tho year, though not the
speediest divoroo. Oao oold, inhospi
tablo February day Charlos Korpes
stt pped into a Chicago saloon in search
of a drink to warm the inncrman. Now
it happened that tho owner of this par
tioular bar was a buxom widow. Korpes
bought a drink?along one?and whilo
slowly sipping it like a truo oounois
sout sizod of tho oomfortablo surroundings.
Aftor fiftoon minutos of wooing
ho proposod and was acocptcd. The
scquol was told in court ono month
later, whon tho erstwhile buxum widow
was socking relief from her husband's
extravaganoo and his habit of drawing
a rovolver on her to cuforoe his demands.
More marriago lioomos wero issued
in Chicago in Juno, 1900, than in any
previous month of Cook oounty's history,
'2,150 ojuplcs obtaining permits to
wed. Chicago's Orotna Green is St.
Joseph, Mioh., aoioss tho lake. All
Sunday matrimonial reoords wero broken
there on August 12, when 78 oouples
woro joined tcgoihcr for better or lor
worso?mostly worse probably.

Poor liltlo overworked Cupid was haltered
and haiiiUicrid and twisted out of
all recognition, on N jv. 2. when four
oirouit court judges took t. tf tkoir coats
figuratively speaking, and after hear
ing the total of 100 divorce oases granted
50 doorccs.
San Franoisco contributes tho record
for tho speediest divoroo, and a neat
and workmanliko j >b it scorns to have
been. Edwin W. Evans, a wide-awake
oomuiooial traveler, with tho timely
aid of a swift California oourt got his
doorco of legal separation from an in
oompatiblo partner of tho maiden namo
of O Hrien in precisely 20 minutes. At
10 o olook on tho morning of Ju'y 21
ho flicd his complaint; 10 minutes later
a lawyer submittod tho wifo's answer;
at 10 20 tho jidgo signed tho dooioe
and the liberated husband bolted from
the o iurt room to oatoh a train. Hut
Mr. Evans, it is proper to add, brought
to his aid in preparing tho oaso tho
knowledgo of a professional. Ho was
no amateur. Ho had ovt rythirg c it and
dried. Ho had boon in the divorco
null boforo and bad oarcfully written
out a copy of an old decrco, whioh the
judgo obligingly signed so that ho
shouldn't miss his train.

Will Push It.
8enator Tillman nays that he will
push his amendment to the HayPauooefote
treaty. The South (Jaro
linian's amendment is a modification of
the Davis amendment. Although
Mr. Tillman says he will urgo its
adoption, it is stated on the best of
authority that tho majority of the oommittco
on foreign relations are opposed
to it, and will not agroo to its adoption.
If tho Senator insists upon a voto on
his amendment in tho Senate, it iB
not likoly that it will moot with any
bottor fato than it will in the oommitteo.
NVhon tho Btoraaoh is tired out it
