M'KINLEY's TRIBUTE TO THE EpwoRrH
LEAGUE.

The purpose of the Epworth League is
moral nature and promote the intellectual
culture of the youth of the land. 1t is cal
culated to secure we'll grounded manhood
mental equipment. It unites righteous
ness and reason, ,piety and patriotism,
and gives strength and purity, to the
try. 1t enlists the youth and strength,
the spirit and courage of one of the great
turns them intoa well-disciplined army to
battle for the noblest cause in which man
kind ever engaged-thc cause of the Mas
ter and OF man.
What a motto you have adopted.L Look
up; Lift. up" 1t is worthy to be en-
blazoned ON your banners. If embedded
in your hearts and minds. it will lead YOU
to greater conquests for church and citi-
zcnship and country.
What glorious, sentiment is the one
| the sweet-spiritcd and gifted Bishop Simp-
son: We live to make orr own church
a power in the land, while we live to love
Christ" What broad Christian liberality
lies at the basis Of your league work!
Keep 1t there; Believing in our own, de-
Votedly attached to our own, we yet love
every other church and religious organi-
zation which builds VI, and broadens up
gious liberty, the fullest freedom of con
science. Give to all what we tenaciousiy
claim for ourselves-tle right to worship

Every organization of this kind is a
mighty force for good. It is an education.
| 1t is teacher and school and sanctuary.
It reaches individuallife, and strengthens
it for good. 1t creates the habit of doing
right, and, like any other habit, it grows
Stronger with years. 1t teaches that right
living is the best living, and that those
who live right get the most out of life.
The demand of the time and the need of
the hour is for young men securely
grounded in honesty and integrity-men
of pure character. Religion and morality
are no longer scotfed at. They are no
longer the badge of weaklngs and enthu-

in the Christian religion. They are the
| most priceless possessions which any
young man can have. They constitute n
coin which always passes current, which
| neither depreciates nor CorrodeS, which
cannot be discrcdited. and which is al
ways in demand.
| The mighty growth of the Epworth
League will require the clearest heads

the expectations it has created in the
public mind and keep the splendid pace it
has already set. Keep your motto before
you always, and you cannot fail to bless

Danger" and disaster form the
theme of discourse whenever a "re-
former Of the currency gets a chance
at the public, whether it be a speech
by the late comptroller of the currency
or editorials in the columns Of goldbug
organs. The weakness" the dan
ger" the threatened disaster" Of the
situation are commented on with a
frenzy Of eloquence which is so man
aged as to stimulate reasonable de-
gree of sincerity.
If the people Of the United States
were in the habit Of taking such sem
-mOngers seriously. there would
have been financial panic ere this.
But the people know that the weak
ness and the danger" of the curren-
cy exist only in the fears of the gold
clique that bimetalism may be restored
and the bondholder be prevented from
robbing the masses in the future as
he has robbed them in the past.
But is it good business sense or good
p olitical policy for Republicans and
gcldbugs to howl calamity and threat
en- danger when there isn't the ghost
of chance that the remedy they pro-
pose will be accepted? They know that
the Senate will not allow any gold
monom etallic legislation to be passed.
Indeed, they know that there are
wide oh ferer'ces of feeling on this
question in their own party, and yet
they are doing ali they can to alarm
the people and to dsorganize business
by shouting about the weakness and
danger" of the existing currency.
Until recently the Calamity howl
ers" were alleg ed to be in the ranks Of
Democracy and populism, but just at
present the most distinguished calami-
ty howlers are United States treasury
officials, the Wall street gold clique
and the editors of gold-advocating
newspapers.

CUBAN BLOCKADE RUNNING.

It is now rumored that the much
advertised steamer, City of Columbia,
which sailed from New York last week
ostensibly for the Klondike, is really
bound for Cuba, with supplies for the
insurgents. If this shall prove true
most people in this country will be
glad of it, international law or no in
ternational law.
In this connection it is interesting
to recall the special communication of
Secretary Gage to the State Depart
ment recently describing the opera
tons of the revenue service in cutting
Off filibustering expeditions. 1t clear
ly defines the duties and responsible
tiles of the United States.
The report vindicates the United
States from the charge of Spain that
not sufficiene diligence had been prac-
ticed by this country in preventing the
departure of filibustering expeditions.
At the same time it shows that if Spain
had patrolled the coast of Cuba to pre-
vent expeditions from landing as eff
GENTLY as the United States patrolled
our coast to prevent expeditions from
departing but few of the expeditions
would have escaped capture by one
naval force or the other.
While it is the duty Of the United
States to prevent as far as possible
the violation of their neutrality laws,
that is mere matter of home con-
Germ. We must arrest and punish the
violators of our criminal statutes. But
Spain owes duty to itself 1t must
guard its coasts from invasion by enc
mics from all sources.
1t is the duty of both governments to
exercise due diligence. No more can be
demanded from the United States.
Mr.. Gage makes it appear that if Spain
had been as diligent as the United
States in suppressing the filihusters
the Cuban insurgents would have re-
ceived but little outside help.
