DUN S TRADE REVIEW. A Lm<( List of Adverse Conditions Cnlets* latrd to Depress Business. Borne Op Against by the People of the United States, Sustained by a Sublime Faith In . the Future or Their Country. Nrw York, May 5.—R, G. Dan A Co.’s weekly review of trade, issued today, says: It Is now. as It has been for nearly a year, tho amazement of intelligent observers that the United States suffers so little from the reverses which other lands share, but which falmore heavily here than anywhere else. The past week has seen events which would suffice to cause or to explain much disaster, such as strikes of all bituminous coal mines and coke workers, with numerous riots; strikes of many thousands of men in other employments; stoppage of many manufacturing works inconsequence; arrest of traffic on several great railroads by lawless proceedings. and the march of discontented men, In all numbering several thousands.toward the national capital in the hope of controlling legislation; the lowest price ever known for wheat, and almost the lowest prloes ever known for commodities as a whole; exports of (6.400,003gold instead of abnormally cheapened prospects, and the fall of the treasury gold reserve below the 1100.000.000limit are significant Of w idespread difficulty. Yet the volume of business is but 31.3 per cent less than a year ago. and In some directions signs of improvement appear even now. and the sublime faith of the people in their future is shown in the goneral belief that the strikes and disorders Will quicklyjdisappear. Favoring weather has brought a distinct change in reports as to condition of winter wheat and as to acreage in corn and cotton. It is also important that prices of iron and steel products promptly advance, in answer to the stoppage of some works through strikes, since it indicates that the recent improvement in the apparent demand was of a substantial character. At Pittsburgh, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York, prices have generally advanced, though irregularly, and in bar iron quotations appear a shade weaker. Bessemer pig ban advanced 75 cents to (1. steel billets 81 to 11.50, and plates and structural iron and steel and wire rods are stronger. Many reason that the advance may be maintained, at least for a time, because cost will rise if strikes succeed, and if they fall, because of the demonstrated existence of a demand, substantially equal to the full product of works thus far started. The shoe industry, which has fallen behind the shipments of last year^oniy 12 per cent. In April, is somewhat less active than of late, but a fair business is reported in heavy shoes, and some improvement in the demand for women's wear. Another point of encouragement is the heavy buying of wool, nmouuttng to 3,492,601 pounds for the week at the three chief markets, against 4.061 ,u00 last year; and in April sales were 21.lU8.938 pounds, against 16.993,930 last year. As these sales have for years been in steady relation to the entire consumption of wool, it is fair to infer that, in spite of the stoppage of some important works, and in * spile of uncertainties as to labor and as to legislation. consumption will continue large for some weeks at least. , The enormous unsold stock of wheat, which bes made a lower average of prices in February. March and April than was ever known in any previous month, has depressed May wheat to the lowest point on record, although western receipts were 1 080,736, against 2,488.050 last year, and Atlantic exports 1,143.285. against 1.518.910 last year. The decline for spot has been slight. with no chang 3 for July. Corn yielded a quarter, exports falling suddenly below, while western receipts nearly doubled last year's, and pork products were lower. Cotton speculators, who have seen larger receipts from plantations in April than a year ago. have lost faith and grip with favoring accounts of acreage planted, and the price declined an eighth. Railroad agreements promise better things, os usual, but the gross earnings of all road3 reporting in April were 13.7 per cent, less than last year, following a decline of 15.6 in March and 14.6 in February. Such returns are but moderately encouraging. It is more important that the Great Northern strike has ended, and that vigorous action by the authorities prevents interruption of other lines by bands of tramps. In view of strikes and gold exports it is evidence of much confidence that railroad stocks have declined only 13 cents per 8100 during the week, while reports about legislation have lifted trust stocks 87 cents, notwithstanding legal proceedings begun m Illinois and threatened here. Money markets have not been disturbed by the large outgo or gold, which was taken mainly from tho treasury through redemption of notes. Tho continued flow of unemployed money hither is not a sign of health, nor the outgo of gold, instead of wheat at 61 cents, or cbtton at 7 3. The demand for commercial loans of the better class does npt increase, but there are more numerous applications for loans on questionable paper from the interior.

A CRITICAL SITUATION. The Miners Alone the Megabit Ranee Only Kept from Violence by the Presence of Trl«ops. Virginia, Minn., May 4.—The situation is still critical ailing the Mesaba 7ange, but the miners have kept themselves in thn background to-day in the face of state troops and St. Louis County (Jeputies. The one exciting event of the day was the departure of thirty miners, armed with rifles an d shotguns, for Mountain Iron, for the purpose of preventing the opening of the mines there. A telegram from that point to-night says they were successful in this. A company of state militia will go to that point to-morrow morning. The men at the Olive mine and Drake A Stratton’s went to work under protection this morning, and have not been molested. The strikers are ugly and are restless and nervous. They are mostly Finlanders and desperate. The miners have threatened to blow up the militia with dynamite during the night, but Capt Bidwell h as out such a strong picket line that it will be impossible for the strikers to reach the main body of the men. The Franklin mine men say they will organize as soon as the troops leave and shut down all the Mesaba region mines again unless their demand for $1.50 a day is granted. Do Not Want to Strike. Bibiwak, Minn., May 4.—There is no 6trike in this locality. There was some talk of the Virginia strikers coming over here to force the Canton miners to quit, but they have not appeared. Although the wages are small the Canton miners do not want to strike. The Ashland District. Lexington, Ky., May 5.—An effort is being made to find out the standing of the candidates for congress from the Asnland district, and a poll at Paris resulted as follows: Owens, 155; Breckinridge, 60; uncertain, 17. Bourbon county will be the most strongly-con-tested county in the district. At North Middletown, in the same county, the poll resulted: Owens, 45; Breckinridge, 9. It is thought E. E. Settle will withdraw from the race after next weeks The polling here shows a majority for Breckinridge, but his friends realize that his re-election is doubtful

THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY. Popular Do momtration In London In Its Favor—A Pmoniilon Thrw Honrs Look Disbands Into an Immense Meetlnt In Hyde Park—Socialist Speakers Play an Important Bede—The Day In Dublin and Edinburgh. London, May 7.—English workmen as usual made their eight-hour demonstration this year on the first Sunday after May day. Signs of the doming demonstration were evident all yesterday morning through the East End and other laboring districts of the south of London. The workingmen began gathering at 8 o’clock at the appointed places of meeting in Poplar, Bow. Deptford, Woolwich, Hackney and Battersea. There they were met by the musicians and banner-bearers and the beribboued organizers from the trades council. Each division was drawn up in line with a full brass band at the head and was led away at 10 or 11 o’clock to the Thames embankment. By noon the embankment was densely packed from Black Friars’ bridge to Charing Cross with workingmen of all trades and conditions, with here and there a vehicle carrying leaders and speakers with hundreds of banners, flags and transparencies wav-4 ing overhead. , At 12:45 p. m. the many bands started as many different tunes, and fifteen minutes later the head of the procession moved off toward Hyde Park. The gas-workers general league of laborers led. Following them came the dockers, then the builders, the riverside men, the railway men, the printers, masoas and tailors. Behind the tailors marched thousands of others— enough, in fact, to'occupy three hours in passing Trafalgar square. The route from the square lay through4Pall Mall and Piccadilly. At the park twelve platforms had been erected in a great semi-circle. All the meetings passed the resolution in favor of the eight-hour day. They also resolved that the workingmen could free themselves economically and socially only after getting control of the political machinery now in the hands of the capitalist class. John Burns and Keir Hardie, labor members of parliament, spoke at length, each congratulating his audience upon the progress of the eight-hour movement in the last year. The socialist speakers were more numerous and conspicuous than in any preceding year. They advised the workingmen to attack conservatives and liberals alike and to try to prevent the parties from passing further legislation before both agreed to place in the foreground proposals to better the condition of the Laboring class. Jules Gerde. the French socialist leader; Patti Lafargue and the Belgian, Volgers, spoke in French. Eleanor Marx-Aveling, Earl Marx’s daughter, translated parts of their speeches for the benefit of the Englishmen. Stepnialc, the nihilist, Ben Tillett and Cunningham Graham, formerly members of parliament, alsc addressed the socialists. Enormous crowds watched the procession pass to and from the park. There was no disorder. In Dublin a workingmen’s meeting in Phoenix park passed the familiar eight-hour resolution besides calling for manhood suffrage and the payment of members of parliament. The workingmen’s meeting in Glasgow, after adopting the eight-hour resolution, demanded the abolition of the house of lords and the nationalization of the railways. In other large towns of the United Kingdom resolutions of a similar tenor were approved by the working people.

STOCKBRIDGE’S SUCCESSOR. John Patton. Jr., of Grand Rapids. Chosen by Gov. Rich of Michigan to Fill th« Senatorial Vacancy. Grand Rapids, Mich., May 6.—Gov. Rich yesterday afternoon appointed John Patton, Jr., of this city, a United States senator to fill the vacancy caused by the death of F. B. Stockbridge, who will serve until January next, when the legislature will elect John Patton, Jr., was born at Cowensville, Pa., October SO, 1850. He prepared for college at Andover, Mass., and graduated at Yale college with the class of ’75, afterward taking a course at Columbia law school, aftei which he graduated in 1877, The following year he came to Grand Rapids and has since resided here, engaged in practicing law. Patton has always taken a deep interest in political affairs and has always been regarded as an able and safe party counsellor, in 1884 he was a member of the state central committee. He is an eloquent and forceful speaker, and in all national and state campaigns * was in much demand as a campaign orator. His speeches are characterized by breadth of view, purity of diction and comprehensive knowledge of the subject, and are void of clap-trap. He is a student and scholar. For two years he was president of the Michigan State Republican league. His father represented this district in congress twice, once in the thirty-seventh congress and once in the fiftieth. The appointment of Mr. Patton is due largely to the influence brought to bear by the labor unions, which indorsed him for the position. At the meeting of the next Michigan legislature two senators will be chosen—to fill the unexpired term of F. B. Stockbridge and that of James McMillan, of Detroit, which expires in 1896. A Terrible Hurricane. Huntington, W. Va., May 7.—A terrible hurricane and thunder storm passed over this region about 5 o’clock last evening doing considerable'damage here. At Central City, two miles west of here, the Ohio River railroad shops and rdnndhonse were completely demolished with a loss of $30,000. J. H. Burkhart, the superintendent, was buried beneath the debris, but was extricated and will probably recover. Other employes received sli ght injuries. Many other buildings in the town were demolished, including the handsome residence of John Criders.

“THE GENERATIONS.” Rev. Dr. Talmage Delivers His Silver Jubilee Sermon. He Reviews the Quarter Century of His Pastorate and Incidentally Calls Attention to the Maner of His Preaehlnic to the World. The following twenty-fifth anniver- j sary sermon was delivered by Rev. T. i DeWitt Talmage in commemoration of the conclusion of a quarter century in the pastorate of the Brooklyn tabernacle. The subject: “The Generations,” was based on the text: One generation passeth away and another generation cometh.—Ecclesiastes 1., 4. According to the longevity of the people in their particular century has a generation been called one hundred years, or fifty years, or thirty years. By common consent in our nineteenth century, a generation is fixed at twen-ty-five years. The largest procession that ever moved in the procession of years, and the greatest army that ever marched is the army of generations. In each generation there are about nine full regiments of days. These nine thousand one hundred and twenty-five days in each generation march with wonderful precision. They never break ranks. They never grounds arms. They never pitch tents. They never halt. They are never off on furlough. They came out of the eternity and they move on toward the eternity of the future. They cross rivers without any bridge or boats. The six hundred immortals of the Crimea dashing into them cause no confusion. They move as rapidly at midnight as at midnoon. Their haversacks are full of good bread and bitter aloes, clusters of rich vintage and bottles of agonizing tears. With a regular treqjd that no order of “double quick” can hasten, or obstacle can slacken, their tramp is on, and on, and on, while mountains crumble and pyramids die. “One ‘generation passeth, and another generation cometh.” This is ray twenty-fifth anniversary sermon—-1869 to 1894. It is twentyfive years since I assumed the Tabernacle pastorate. A whole generation has passed. Three generations we have known. That which preceded our own, that which is now at the front and the one coming on. We are at the heels of our predecessors, and our successors are at our heels. What a generation it was that preceded us! We who are now in the front regiment are the only ones competent to tell the new generation now coming into sight who our predecessors were. Biography can not tell it. Autobiography can not tell it. ^^Biographies are generally written by special friends of the departed, perhaps by wife or son or daughter, and they only tell the good things. The biographers of one of the first presidents of the United States made no record of the president’s account books, now in the archives at the capitol, which I have

seen, telling liow much he lost or gained daily at the gaming table. Yea, that generation which passed off within the last twenty-five years had their bereavements, their temptations, their struggles, their disappointments, their successes, their failures, their gladnesses and their griefs, like these two generations now in sight, that in advance and that following. But the twenty-five years between 1869 and 1894—how much they saw! . How much they discovered! How much they felt! Within that time have been performed the miracles of the telephone and the phonograph. From the observatories other worlds have been seen to heave in sight Six presidents of the United States have been inaugurated. Transatlantic voyage abbreviated from ten days to five and a half. Chicago and New York, once three days apart, now only twentyfour hours by the vestibule limited. Two additional railroads have been; built to the Pacific. France has passed from monarchy to republicanism. Many of the cities have nearly doubled their populations. During that generation the chief surviving heroes of the civil war have gone into the encampment of the grave. The chief physicians, attorneys, orators, merchants, have passed, off the earth, or are in retirement waiting for transition. Other men in editorial chairs, in pulpits, in governor’s mansions, in legislative, senatorial and congressional balls. There are not -ten men or women on the earth now prominent who were prominent twenty-five years ago. The crew of the old ship of a world is all changed. Others at the helm, others on the “lookout,” others climbing the ratlines Time is a doctor who with potent anodyne has put an entire generation into sound sleep. Time like another Cromwell, has roughly prorogued parliament, and with iconoclasm driven | nearly all the rulers except one queen from the high places So far as I observed that generation, for the most part, they did their best. ’Ghastly exceptions, but so far as I knew them, [ they did quite well. They were born ! at the right time, and they died at the I right time. They left the world better than they found it. We are indebted to them for the fact that they prepared ! the way for our coming. Eighteen hundred and ninety-four reverently and gratefully salutes 1869. “One 1 generation passeth away, and another I generation cometh.” But this sermon is not a dirge; it is an anthem. While this world is appropriate as a temporary stay, as an eternal residence it would be a dead failure. It would be a dreadful sentence if our race were doomed to remain here a thousand winters and a thousand summers God keeps us here just long entiugh to give us an appetite for Heaven. Had we been born in celestial realms we would not have been able to appreciate the bliss It needs a good many rough blasts in this world to qualify ns to properly estimate the superb climate of that good land where it is never too cold or too hot, too cloudy

or too glaring. Heaven will be more to us than to those supernal beings who were never tempted, or sick, or bereaved, or tried, or disappointed. So yon may well take my text ont of the minor key and set it to some tnne in the major key. “One generation passeth away and another generation cometh.” During the passage of the last gener- j ation some peculiar events have nn- ! folded. One day while resting at j Sharon Springs, N. Y., I think it was j in 1870, the year after my settlement | in Brooklyn, and while walking ip the park of that place, I fonnd myself ask- j ing the question: “I wonder if there is j any special mission for me to execute ! in this world? If there is, may God show it to me!” There soon caipe upon me a great desire to preach the Gospel through the secular printing press. I realized that the vast majority of people, even in Christian lands, never enter a church, and that it would be an opportunity of usefulness infinite if that door of publication were opened. And so I recorded that prayer in a blank book, and offered the prayer day in and day out until the answer came, though in a way different from that which J had expected, for it came through the misrepresentation and persecution of enemies, and I have to record it for the encouragement of all ministers of j the Gospel who are misrepresented, that if the misrepresentation be virulent enough, and bitter enough, and continuous enough, there is itbthing that so widens one’s field of usefulness as hostile attack, if you are really doing the Lord’s work. The bigger the He told about me, the bigger the demand to see and hear what I really was doing. From one stage of serraonic publication to another the work has gone on, until week by week, and for about twenty-three years, I have had the world for my audience, as no man ever had, and to-day m ore so than at any other time. The syndicates inform me that my sermons go now to twenty-five million people in all lands. I mention this not in vain boast, but as a testimony to the fact that God answers prayer. Would God I had better occupied the field and been more consecrated to the work! May God forgive me for lack of service in the past, and double, and quadruple, and quintuple my work in future. In this my quarter-century sermon, I record the fact that side by side with the procession of blessings has gone a procession of disasters. I am teaching to-day in the fourth church building since I began in this city. My first sermon was in the old church on Schermerhorn street, to an audience chiefly of empty seats, for the church was almost extinguished. That church filled and overflowing, we built a larger church, which after two or three years disappeared in flame. Then we built another church, which also in line of fiery succession, disappeared in the same way. Then we put up this building, and may it stand for many years, a fortress of righteousness, and a light house for the storm-tossed, its gates crowded with vast assemblages long after we have ceased to frequent them!

W© have raised In this church over one million and thirty thousand dollars for church charitable purposes during the present pastorate, while we have given, free of all expense, the Gospel to hundreds of thousands of strangers, year by year. I record with gratitute to God that.during this generation of twenty-five years I remember but two Sabbaths that I hjave missed service through anything like physical indisposition. Almost a fanatic on the subject of physical exercise, 1 have made the parks with which our city is blessed, the means of good physical condition. A daily walk and run in the open air have kept me ready for work and in good humor with all the world. I say to all young ministers of the Gospel, it is easier to keep good health than to regain it when lost. The reason so many good men think the world is going to ruin is because their own physical condition is' on the down grade. No man ought to preach who has a diseased liver, or an enlarged spleen. There are two things ahead of us that ought to keep us cheerful in our work—Heaven and the millennium. And now, having come up to the twenty-fifth milestone in my pastorate, I wonder how many more miles I am to travel. Your company has been exceedingly pleasant, O my dear people, and I would like to march by your side until the generation with whom we are now moving abreast, and step to step, shall have stacked arms after the last battle. But the Lord knows best, and we ought to be willing to stay ot go. Most of you are aware that I propose at this time, between the close of my twenty-fifth year of pastorate and before the beginning of my twentysixth year, to be absent for a few months, in order to take a journey around the world. I expect to sail from San Francisco in the steamer Alameda, May 31. My place here on Sabbaths will be fully occupied, while on Mondays, and every Monday, I will continue to speak through. the printing press in this and other lands as heretofore. Why do I go? To make pastoral visitation among people whom I have never seen, but to whom I have permitted a long while to administer. I want to see them in their own cities, towns and neighborhoods. I want to know what are their prosperities, what their adversities and what their opportunities, and so enlarge my work, and get more adaptedness. Why do 1 go? For educational purposes. I want to freshen j my mind and heart by new scenes, new faces, new manners and customs. I want better to understand what are the wrongs to be righted and the waste places to be reclaimed. I will put all I learn into sermons to be preached to you when 1 return. I want to see the Sandwich islands, not so much iu the light of modern politios as in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, tvhich has transformed them; and Srnnna, and those vast realms of New Zealand, and Australia,

and Ceylon, and India. I want to see what Christianity has accomplished I want to see how the missionaries have been lied about as living1 in luxury and idleness. I want to know whether the heathen religions are really as tolerable and as commendable as they were represented by their adherents in the parliament of religions at Chicago. I want to see whether Mohammedanism or Buddhism would be good things for transplantation in America, as it has again and again been argued. I want to bear the Brahmins pray. I want to test whether the Pocific ocean treats its guests any better than does the Atlantic. I want to see the wondrous architecture of India, and the Delhi and Cawnpore where Christ was crucified in the massacre of His modern disciples, and the disabled Juggernaut unwheeled by Christianity; and 1 to see if Taj which the Emperor Shah Jehan built in honor of his empress, really means any more than the plaih slab we put above our dear departed. I want to see the fields where Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell won the day against the Sepoys. I want to see the world from all sides;how much of it is in darkness, how much of it is in light; what the Bible means by the “ends of the earth,” and get myself ready to appreciate the extent of the present to be made to Christ as spoken of in the Psalms: “Ask of me, and I shall give thee ^he heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for they posssssioo.” And so I shall be ready to celebrate in Heaven the victories of Christ in more rapturous song than I eouldr have rendered had I never seen the heathen abominations before they were conquered. And so I hope to come back refreshed, re-enforced and better equipped, and to do in ten years more effectual work than I have done in the last twenty-five. And now in this twenty-fifth anniversary sermon I propose to do two things: first, to put a garland on the grave of the generation that has just passed off, and then to put a palm branch in the hand of the generation just now coming on the field of action. For ray text is true: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.” Oh, how many we- revered, and honored, and loved in the last, generation that quit the earth. Tears fell at the time of their gfoing, and dirges were sounded, and signals of mourningwere put ob; but neither tears, nor dirge, nor somber veil told the half we felt. Their going left a vacancy in our souls that has never been filled upi We never get used to their absence. There are times when tb ■» sight of something with which they were associated—a picture, or a book, or a garment, or a staff—breaks us down with emotion, but we bear it simply because we have to bear it. Oh, how snowy white their hair got, and how the wrinkles multiplied, and the sight grew more dim, and the hearing less alert, and the step more frail, and one day they were gone out of the chair by the fireside, and from thd plate at the meal, and from the end of the church pew, where they worshiped with us. Oh, my soul, how we miss them! But let us console each other with the'thought that we shall meet them again in the land of salutation and reunion./ And how I twist a garland for that departed generation. It need not be costly, perhaps just a handful of clover blossoms from the field through which they used to walk, or as many violets as you could hold between the thumb pud the forefinger, plucked but of the garden where they used to walk in the j cool of the day. Put these old-fash- ! ioned flowers down over the heart that never again will ache, and the arm j that has forever ceased to toil. Peace, father! Peace, mother! Everlasting p^ace! All that for the generation gone.

But what shall we do with the palm branch? That we will put in the hand of the generation coming on. Yours is to be the generation for victories. Th^ last and the present generation have been perfecting the steam-power, and the electric light, and the electric forces. To these will be added transportation. It will be your mission to use all these forces. Everything is ready now for you to march right up and take this world for God and Heaven. Get your heart right by repentance and the pardoning grace of the Lord Jesus, and you mind right by elevating books and pictures, and your body right by gymnasium and field exercises and plenty of ozone, and by looking as often as you can upon the face Of mountain and of sea. Then start! In God’s name, start! And here is the palm braneh. From conquest to conquest, move right on and right up. You will soon have the whole field for yourself. Before another twentyfive years have gone we will be out of the pulpits, and the offices, and the factories, and the benevolent institu tions, and you will be at the front. I Forward into the battle! If God be for you, who can be against you? “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” And as for us who are now at the front, having put the garland on the grave of the last generation, and having put the palm branch in the hand of the coming generation, we will cheer each other in the remaining ones and go into the shining gate somewhere about the same time, and greeted by the generation that has preceded us wp will have to wait only a little while to greet the generation that will come after us. And will hot that be glorious? Three generations in Heaven together: The grandfather, the son and the grandson, the grandmother, the daughter and the granddaughter. And, so with wider range and keener faculty we shall realize'the full significance Jof the text: “One (generation i passe th away, and another generation I cometh.” __ —No man can serve two masters. A great many men can not honestly serve | one.
