championed the right Of every man to
select his own aticle of faith, yet made
certain other articles of faith pre-requi-
site to salvation. Luther permitted
discretion but denied the possibility of
doubt. So orthodoxy has held "belief"
TO be the subject of the will. But is it?
Is not belief something beyond control?
A book has just been published by
Putnam & Son, entitled Protestant
Faith: or, Salvation by Belief" The
author. Dwight II. Olmstead, who Wrote
on the same subject fifty years ago, Wig
orously and mercilessly attacks this old
orthodox dogma. He holds that COM
pelIing belief is an impossibility not
only, but that personal salvation is the
poorest sort of incentive to duty; that
it is but an artificial scheme OF morality.
And so few people now believe in hell,
salvation is rapidly losing its original
meaning: and morality is becoming less
dependent on terrorism. To this extent
therefore it may be said that the world
has caught up with Mr.. Olmstead. who
fifty years ago was miles ahead OF his
time. But his work is interesting as
landmark. The introduction or the Gm-
itations Of thought, which is new in
this edition, is a rare example of clear
thinking and close reasoning. We
heartily commend 1t to all shades of re-
ligious belief The book is small vol
ume and can be read in an hour.

The Death of Beethoven.

Beethoven had been deaf for twenty-five
years. when. in 1877. letter reached him
al Baden from his nephew. the being dear
est to him on earth. The young man wrote
from Vienna, in debt which he looked 10 his
uncle TO extricate h,m. Beethoven set out
at once but his funds were 50 low that he
was obliged TO make the greater part OF
his journey on foot
He had gone most Of the way. and was
only few leagues from the capital. when
his strength failed. He WAS forced 10 oes
hospitality of a poor and mean-lookinS
house one evening. The Inhabitants re-
ceived the il!-tempere5-looking. dark, gruh-
vo-ced stranger with the utmost cordiahty,
shared their mea ger support with him, ane
.hen gave him a comfortable seat near the
fire. The meal was hardly cleared away
before the head OF the family opened an
old piano, while the sons each brought
forth some instrument. the woman mean
time beginning 10 mend the inen- There
was a general tuning up and then the mt
SIC began. AS It proceeded the players. the
women, all alike were more and more deep
ly moved. Tears stole down the old man 9
cheeks. His. wife watched him with moist
eyes, and a pathetic, far-aNay smile on
her lips She dropped her needle-work. anc
her managing daughter forgot 10 nHd
fault. She was listening. too.
The sweet sounds left only one person
in the room unmoved- The deaf guest
looked on at the scene with yearning mel
ancholy. When the concert was over he
stretched out his hands for a sheet Of the
music they had used. II could not hear,
friends" he exclaimed in hoarss tones OF
apology. "but 1 would Ike 10 know who
/ wrote this piece which has 50 moved you
+ all" The piano player put before him the
: Allegretto in Beethoven's symphony IN 4.
Tears now stole down the visitors cheeks

TOO MUCH LYING.

Politically considered, it is all right
for Democratic leaders to take issue
with President Mckinley on the annex
alton of Hawaii, and for Democratic
newspapers to oppose the policy, but
neither should resort TO a misrepresent-
alton of well known facts nor attempt
to bolster up their position with false
hoods The last census of the Islands
is continually referred To as proof that
the country is not American. They say
that there are but 3.0S0 Americans in
land inhabited by 10000 people, one
third of whom are natives and the bal
ance Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese,
with as many British and Germans put
together as there are Americans. This
showing is claimed TO be overwhelming
ly against annexation. But these fig
ures are known TO be a gross distortion
Of the truth. Hawaii is American, and
has been SO for than a generation. Its
control, its commerce, its schools, and
its entire spirit have been and are
American. The 1850 Americans enum-
Grated in the census are citizens Of the
United States who have not adopted
Hawaii as their native land. A large
per cent of the $4,000 Hawaiians were
born Of American parents or are half
breed Americans. Besides, the best OF
the full-blOOd natives are American Ill
+t,af. ;dooS opd cuc+opos ord oro npifhpr
British nor German in their inclinauons.
All these see that the present chance
and future hope of their beautiful isles
lies in union with, and protection by,
the United States Of America. Even
the English and German residents ad-
nit as much. The intelligence and
thrift of the islands are all distinctly
American, and there is not progressive
element TO be found there that does not
dread the threatened possibility Of the
islands being dickered away in some
treaty between European powers and
the Orient No gun is TO be fired, no
outrage committed, such as Great Brit
ain and other European countries re-
sort to in acquiring colonies or addi-
tional territory. But these people are
to be received upon their own applica-
ton, and in response TO years OF solici-
tation and enreaty. AS no power on
earth, not even British or German mus
kes, can destroy the dominating Amer
ican spirit and influence in these islands
the recommendations of President Nc
ley should be unhesitatingly accepted
and acted upon by congress.

CHIN A DOOMED.

China, the oldest and most densely
populated nation of the world, is
thought by many to have fulfilled its
destiny and must now so to pieces. 1t
cannot Withstand the electrical touch
of a twentieth century civilization. Her
primeval construction is not equal to
the shock of modern methods. Her
conservatism is doomed to go down be-
fore the progressive radicalism of the
star of empire. Russia is ready to fore
close her mortgage on the Celestial EN-
pire. England has already infringed
upon her ancient domain. Germany is
getting a foothold, and France will
soon be demanding a share. While the
Chinese government is assuring the ma
tions Of the earth that the Germans
made no demand for satisfaction for
whose death was used as the pretext
for seiZing one of the best natural har
bors on the Chinese coast the Germans
are Strengthening their position and ex-
tending their lines, all in Chinese terri
tory. If China were not utterly ridicu-
louS as great nation, claiming TO rank
with the foremost powers Of the world,
there would be less arguing at Pekin
and some fighting at KiaO-Chau bay.
That a nation Of 400,000,000 population
should permit few hundred marines
and sailors 10 seize valuable territory
without the least resistance, would be
incredible if the Chinese had not done
other things equally timid and weak.
Such n race invites aggression, all the
time and from all quarters.
The Chinese minister TO the United
States has been endeavoring for some
time TO negotiate loan of $4,000, 900
among American capitalists with which
to pay the third insallment of Japan's
| indemnity. But American capitalists
have read in the signs of the times the
dissolution of oriental methods, and
Chinese bonds have no attraction. how
ever large the interest. The Chinese
empire is the most populous of any in
| the world. four to one or something like
4O0,000.00o people. But 1t is land of
children who know nothing and have
no ambitions outside Of their home.
England rules India, but Russia will
rule what there is left Of China after il
has been divided and dissolved. The
empire founded by Peter the Great Is

THE KANSAS PACIFIC.

II is evident from yesterday mornings
Washington dispatches that the Kansas
Pacific road Will not be sold on the date
fixed by the courts, and that when it is
sold ii is liable to become government
property. When the Union Pacific was
sold last month it brought enough to
cover all that was owing by it to the
general government. But no such
amount has been offered for the Kan
sas Pacific, so President Mckinley has
called the attention of congress to this
matter. The government has a claim
against the Kansas Pacific, principle
and interest, amounting to S12 2,e29, $50.
The road will never bring more than
half the money, if that. The court or
lerfng the sale fixed the upset price al
which 1t might be sold at two and half
million dollars. 1t is not certain that
even such a bid would be made, or any
thing al all. hence the necessity for
postponement. The government TO pro-
tect itself may be forced TO become the
purchaser. 1t now seems quite likely
that the government will ut last find
Itself owning and operating a railroad
Wichita is interested in the final dispo-
sition of the line. The Kansas Midland
has a connection with the Kansas Pc
cific at Ellsworth and. no doubt, an op-
Grating agreement. If the Kansas Pa
cific should fall in TO the hands of en-
independent corporation, the Midland
might become one of its important
branches.

PROTESTANT FAITH.

The kind, or the quality, of faith nee
essary TO salvation has puzzled many an
enQuiring mind. Is saving belief of the
heart or OF the head; voluntary or invol-
untary? Justification by faith is Z
dogma that has worried a world OF we'll
meaning people. The world is coming
to believe that it requires something
more, however, than belief. or profes-
