Prompt Action I'm Congress In Looked
For.

AS soon as Congress reconvenes the Com
missioners' new highway bill, which has
been introduced in the Senate by Mr. Nc
MILAN, chairman Of the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia, will be referred
to a subcommittee and its consideration
will be begun at once. 1t is expected that
action on the measure will be taken as
promptly as will be found consistent with
its careful consideration.

SPANS Desperation,

Not long ago, Just after declaring that
the war In Cuba was practically over, Gen.
weyler said that he needed $1,000 more
troops in order to suppress the insurgents.
A still more remarkable statement comes
from General Arolas, who is on Gen. Wey-
ler's staff. He says:
"To conquer the revolution in east Cuba
General Weyler will require 900 soldiers
more and 1t will cost S200, 100000. If Spain
can afford all this then we may make this
campaign regardless of the yellow fever
and the heat. If not, we will wait until
neyt winter.'
1t is not to be supposed that General Ar
and mis- declaration that the rebellion can
not be suppressed without the aid of 100000
more troops Is almost tantamount to a con-
fession that spain cannot suppress it at all
If 200, 900 meu In addition to the large ar
my Spain already has in Cuba are required
to cope with the insui gents they are FIR
more powerful than Gen. Weyler has been
telling us they were. 1t is practically i'm
possib for Spain to put 700, 900 more troops
in the field. The armies she Is now support
log in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES are drain
lag her Golfers as fast as she can oil then
She has been driven TO desperate expedi-
ents to raise funds paying high rates of in
terest and mortgaging her prospective re-
ceipts from custom duties.
The conduct of the war in Cuba on the
part Of Spain has been from the irst series
Of costly blunder', and now we have. one
who is as well qualified AS anybody to tell
us that unless Spai, can put 2OO,OOO more
troops into Cuba the rebellion cannot be
suppressed. The world had no conception,
until the war III Cuba began, to what pitt
full weakness Spain, once the mightiest and
proudest of nations, had fallen. ATLANTA

Only forty years ago, right here In
Florida, there WAS not mile OF railroad
except the one from Tallahassee to St.
Marks, and the engines use1 on that
were yellow mules; there were no sew

on steel mills erected on posts which
stood In the chimney corners; the fast
mail was carried at the rate of five miles
an hour; large portion of postoffices
received mail only once month; If a

The Crime Of'97.

1t Is good idea occasionally to recall
certain facts persstently ignored at
Washington but quite as persistently re-
membered by the pc )ple.
First-The last time the tariff issue
was submitted to the people McKinley-
ism was rejected by an electoral plural
itv Of 1872 and popular plurality of $780,
$40. 1t carried ,tright only five of the
seventeen States east of the Mississippi
and north Of the Potomac and the Ohio.
Second-The Republican national plat

The Charm of College Room.

A college room is II delightful place
Its occupant for the time being is its
master. He can do as he will in it
lock his door and be not at home, ad-
NIT all Corners, sit alone and read or
study, or sit with his congenial friend
and talk out whatever he may have the
good fortune to have in his mind. One
Harvard graduate certainly, who found
many pleasures of very varied sorts in
college, remembers very few with such
a sense of solid comfort duly taken as
certain talks had in college rooms with
good men, though young, about letters
and life and people the immediate en-
vironment and the greater world on the
brink of which all college men stand.
Music has charms, superlative charms,
in college too
In this same graduates memory there
are few musical associations more con-
selling than the memory of what he
heard, half asleep i'll "A chair before a
fire, while good musician who was
his classmate sat at his piano in the
corner Some of the calmest and most
peaceful memories of college are the
best. The more boisterous pleasures we
smile to recall and wonder as we re-
member them AT the vigor and the folly
of youth. But about those quieteI
streaks of happiness there was no folly
and they involved no remorse. Edward

listened to by large audience aside
from the members of the two organiza-
tons. The church was profusely deco
rated with flowers. Following this ser
vice the graves of deceased members
were decorated.
The little plot of ground at the Water
street end of the Island bridge, which
has hitherto been anything but beauti-
full, has been laid out into flower beds,
and seeds have been planted and vines

which the Town Improvement Society
is doing to add to the attractiveness of
our town. Inc society IL also giving
special attention to the river banks, and
wherever possible the unsightly rubbish
which has accumulated has been re-
moved. The force of habit is strong,
however, and this is one of the discour-
aging features of the work, for cleaning
the banks is almost useless, unless every
one in the habit of using them for a
dumping ground co-operates to keep
them clean-Somerset Argus.

The drive of logs on the kennebec is
coming along swimingly. The late rains
have been of great advantage and assist
ance to the lumbermen Of the kennebec
for the very reason that the rain has
fallen in such moderate quantity at times,
that the river has not overlooked its
banks and sent the logs onto the in
tervaes. while at the same time the
water has been constantly at good
driving pitch. The drive is probably
,veral weeks ahead of the usual time in
years of late.
Many here will remember c. Everett
Bean, who was student in the high
school, when his father was pastor of
the Methodist church in this town, and
will read with pleasure the following
in regard to the Grafton which he de-
livered Memorial day at South Portland,
hich is taken from the Portland Press !:
tThe Grafton by Rev. G, Z. Bean was a
production of the highest merit. The
veterans of this town have been most
fortunate in their Memorial day orators,
but this year in their selection of Mr..
Bean, they certainly builded better than
they knew. Nothing could excel it in
beauty, eloquence and force"

Christian baptism? We will see:
John was the son OF high Priest.
Therefore the law made him
Priest regardless OF his choice, a.

Priests were types OF Christ so ms

none but Priest could cOnsecratc
Priest SO Jar from John being a
Christian minister, the organizer
TO a Christian church, the admin
istrator Of Christian Baptism.
He was beheadcd before the
Christian dispensatiOn began.
Long after the death Of John,
Christ and the Apostles attended
the Temple service, kept the jew
ish feast and ate the Jewish pass
over: ii John organized a Chrlstlan
church and administered Christian
| baptism. then there was one Chris
tan church made up OF menu ers
who were not baptized in the name
of the Trinity and who could not
take the Lords supper; for the
commission to baptize in the name
of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
was not given and the Lords sup
per was not instituted until after
Johns death. Christ said of John,
he that is least in the Kingdom OF
Heaven is greater than he, Mat
thew u:11: why, because John
belonged to the old dispensation.
that the ceremonial law was still III
force, that baptism was no ne"
ceremony, being one OF the oTdl-
nances imposed until the time OF
reformation: that John was acting
under the law that imposed this or
dinance, and then all will be clear
The disign OF Johns baptism was
one thing. the disign Of Christian
baptism was very different thing
