The Only Remaining Administration
Issue,

That Mr.. CLEVELAND does not take any
great interest in the Administration s
scheme Of currency reform, so called, Is
indicated by his indifference to the efforts
of the unfortunate CARLISLE to stir up Con
gress and the country. While Mr.. CARLISLE
is stirring the best he can, Mr.. CLEVELAND
goes off with Fighting Bon on the Wistaria
and comes back loaded with the underlying
principle of Southern hospitality.
The next question OF national Importance
70 which the President may he expected to
give his personal attention Is the Free ship
question. In his speech at the launching OF
the St. Louis few weeks ago he declared
himself without qualification or reserve for
q measure which threatens the life OF one
of the noblest and most important OF Amer
lean industries The FITH1AN Free Ship bill
Is ready at hand for him to promote and
push as soon as Congress meets after the
holidays. This enterprise of destruction is
one which seems to appeal peculiarly to Mr..
CLEvELANp's sensibilities.
There will be long fight and hard fight
before the national policy Of whole century
Ia reversed at .he dictate Of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
There is the same reason for the preserva-
ton of our private shipyards as for the
maintenance of our navy yards, our plants
for the making of ordnance and armor, our
Government training schools at West Point
and Annapolis. This is too obvious propo-
sition to require discussion. The shipbuild-
ing industry has always been one of the
chief Sulwarks OF the national defence, and
20 1t must always be. Without it we shall
be helpless in the time Of emergency.
And yet to this pass has it come, that the
destruction of American shipbuilding stands
next upon the CLEVELAND programme Of
so-called Reform. The miserable enter
prise to which tho President committed
himself at Philadelphia, is almost the only
public question In which he now shows any
keen personal interest.
Does he really hate the hag'

Africa's Only Volcano.

In 1891, when ESIIS Pasha started west
from Victoria Nyanza on the journey that
ended in his violent death, he and his com
men to see the big mountain Mfumbiro,
l2O miles from the lake, which Capt.
SPEKE, many years before, had placed on
his map on native information. They
found that Mfunlbiro was not an isolated
cone, but the most eastern OF hitherto
unknown range Of volcanic origin. Their
first purpose was to determine the outlines
of Lake Albert Edward, and they did not
stop 10 explore these mountains; but DR.
STUHLMASN sent home an interesting re-
port of the natives that Virunga, the most
western summit of the chain. was fire
mountain, from whose top smoke was
often seen to issue, and from which noises
were heard like the believing of cattle.
On Dec. & a cablegram reached Europe
from Count Won GOTTEN, the German ex-
plorer, announcing his arrival on the lower
Congo. after crossing Africa from east 10
west. About the same time letter he had
written In Central Africa in June last ar
rived. IL contained brief but interesting
details of his visit TO Mount Virunga.
There have been reports OF plutonic activity
among the Riff Mountains, in northwestern
Morocco, but the hostile natives have pre-
vented investigation The subterranean
forces that formed the great trough and
piled up mountains of lava and ashes east

In the current number of the COntempo-
vurv ReUiew an attempt is made to arouse
English public opinion against the expedi-
tion intended to enforce French ascendancy
In Madagascar. The attempt will fail, be-
cause the British Foreign Office has for
mally acluiesced in the French assertion of
right to exercise protectorate over the
great African island, and Englishmen of all
political parties seem agreed to sanction
this act of their Government.
IL is, indeed, matter of record, and
therefore Mr. BLIND finds it easy to prove,
that the French meant one thing and the
Malagasy another by the treaty defining
their relations, which was signed on Jan.
10, 1884. Unquestionably, the word pro
tsetorate was not permitted 10 appear in

pirate reverence. His legs and feet were not

1t Is in favor of Japan that her ruling and
military authorities are willing to give all
necessary facilities for the collection Of news
of the campaign in China to the agency
through which the United Press obtains its
dispatches from there. Our reporters are
permitted to follow the army, to become
witnesses Of the military operations and to
send out their communications for the in
formation OF the world. Japan has been
courteous to the press ever since the war
began; and, In consequence of this, the
Japanese side of the case has always had the
most advantageous presentation. The jap
anese successes have been we'll described by
the correspondents who furnish news to the
United Press. The policy of Japan in this
respect has given evidence OF the shrewdness
Of her rulers.
The Chinese are less shrewd in the same
respect. They care nothing for the opinion
of the outside world They have not
favored any of the barbarian" corre-
spondents who have sought to witness their
operations on sea or land. They have
probably suffered some disadvantages on
this account.
The whole world has heard all about the
heroic deeds and proud victories of the jap
anese soldiers and sailors, but hardly
ever word about such deeds OF the
Chinese, though we have had occasion to
infer from some of the reports of battles
that there are death-defying fighters in
the Chinese army and navy. We are
satisfied that not few OF the Japanese vic
tories have been won over enemies who were
worthy of their steel. 1t is very far from
being true that the whole of the Chinese
race are cowardly and incompetent. As a
race, the Chinese are not warlike; yet in
other times, they have boldly encountered
many an adversary.
Again, while the Japanese Government
has promptly published the official reports
of it's commanders in China, the Chinese
Government has not, since the beginning of
the war published any official report of any
of its commanders. This is an error ON the
part of the Chinese We are sure that these
documents would be instructive. They
would enable mankind to obtain better
understanding of the war. 1t cannot be
properly understood by q perusal of only
the reports issued by one of the belligerents.

There is a practical suggestion for Con
gress in the award of the contract for Russian
ship armor to the Bethlehem Iron Company
Whatever the extent of this contract, the full
details of which are vet to be learned, 1t Is
apparently concerned to that extent with the
preoocupation OF an American armor- producing
plant for foreign purposes.
As to that, of course. there can be no COM
plant against the company. 1t has been known
for a long time that the Bethlehem works would
probably complete their contracts for armor with
our navy during the coming spring. The same
is true Of the Carnegie works. Yet at neither Of
the last two sessions OF Congress was provision
made for another armorcd vessel, although at
least half dozen more large battle ships are on
the programme of construction. Naturally
these great steel works have had 10 look out
elsewhere for the means of keeping their armor-
making plants employed. The apparatus needed
for them has been exceedingly costly, and tho
workmen have had to be trained to the tasks
required. The Bethlehem and Pittsburgh COM
panies would be reluctant to shut down this
branch Of their works and to let the skilled
mechanics scatter, and have applied for work In
foreign countries, with the success just noted.
Secretary TRACY set forth In strong terms the
desirability and the economy of continuous work
on the battle ships until the number fixed upon
HERBERT. in his recent report, expressed the
same views in this language:
AS both the establishments making armor for us
now have their plants In operation and their skilled
workmen assembled, ready, with the experience they
have acquired to continue the manufacture the qes
tion seems to present itself for immediate solu.
tion, shall Congress authorize any armored
sells II not then need not concern ourselves with
the future OF these plants but are to have more
armorcd vessels then II would appear that should
make other contracts for while these two estab
shments still In working order and their skilled
operatives are assembled"
Now we have the added consideration that
foreign countries, recognizing the excellence Of
American ship armor might preempt these facil-
tiles for their own uses. They can undoubtedly
make terms giving them priority, by requiring
their contracts to be finished. under penalties,
within given time. Thus to the motive of a
liberal treatment of the manufacturing COM
panies is now joined that of the interests OF the
country, in urging upon Congress the continu-
alton Of the building of battle ships.

WESTMINSTER CHURCH.

The sermon OF Rev. Mr.. Mott, pastor OF
the Westminster Unitarian Church, was
upon the text from Mathew, 1922, and
the general subject was the parable OF the
marriage feast.
Mr.. M oft described the beauties OF the
feast and the attractiveness OF the scene
and then pointed out that the parable
illustrates the teaching that the blessings
of heaven are open to all. In the parable
we find at first only the select few in
the chosen OF God but when the few failed
TO appreciate the advantages offered them
then the highways and hedges were
searched, the lame, the halt and the blind
were hidden to share in the bounty OF host /;
the only requirement OF the guests Is
that they must forsake their evil ways,
accept the teachings of Christ and obey
the laws of God. The element OF exclu-
siveness has vanished. The cripple and the
waif, who are borne down in the struggle
of life can accept the invitation OF
fered and can find here fresh
strength, steadfast tranquility OF
soul that forotells q peace and happiness
to come. There is bread for the soul and
food for all, the essential thing being only
that oil accept the invitation. Explain
ing the parable further Mr.. Mott spoke of
the man who appeared at the feast with
out wedding gown. He was bound
hand and foot and cast out. This illus
ment Of those who will
not comply with the conditions OF saliva
tion imposed by God and who try to gain
heaven In their own way. Submission to
the laws of life and Of God is absolutely v
necessary. Success in life ana the
attainment of the blessings of heaven are
not possible without IL. The laws of God
are frrevoeab BILE, and they must be obeyed.
The main stumbling block to their
observance is vanity. So many of us feel
that in some way We are worthy of greater
things than seem TO be allotted to US, and
wc constantly struggle against surround
ing conditions and our own selves. The
only remedy is thoughtf0 study of our
selves and our characteristics. Hav-
ing fully determined these we
should accept them and live ac-
cordingly. There are Godlike con-
ditions that surround the humblest walks
of life, and by accepting them we can sit
at the marriage feast hereafter and enjoy
as those who seem to be more successful
The musical program included solo for
soprano, with words strikingly appro-
pirate to the sermon. sThere is a land
mine eyes have seen," by Miss Crowning-
shield; the aria was one OF sweet,
sustained melody and sweetness.
Miss Whites artistic rendering
OF the work added also much to its effect
The closing anthem was that well known
hymn of Macdougal "Onward Christian
Soldiers" dedicated to Mr.. Flint,
the bass of the quartet.
Mr.. Flint was particularly happy in the
rendering Of the solo yesterday. The
committee on music Of the church have
decided to continue for the ensuing year
the choir and orgsnist.
