The Thanksgiving sermons indicated a
great diversity of opinion among the clergy
ON the annexation uestion.-SprinQfeld Re-
publican.
But there was not similar diver
sity in the pews. The irrepressible
sentiment OF the American people in
favor of keeping the Philippines and
reaping the full fruits of the war with
Spain was illustrated in striking man
ner in two churches in the city of New
York. Rev. DR.. Parkhurst expressed
views in opposition to the policy of ex-
pansion, whereupon many persons, I'M
able to restrain their feelings, express
ed their disapproval by rising and
walking out of the church. On the
other hand, Rev. r. S. Macarthur,
who talked in Calvary Baptist church
on "Foreign Policies and Domestic
Politics." extolled the scheme of ma
tional expansion, and his hearers broke
into enthusiastic cheers. Parkhurst in
particular was 80 outrageous and tru-
culent in his language as to affront the
sense of decency of any person of sobri-
ETY. of judgment and temperance of ex-
preston. His demeanor and language
better became some incendiary OPP
ponent of the Presidents policy in a
partisan harangue on the stump than
the utterances of minister of the Cos.
pei from pulpit dedicated to teaching
the Christian religion.

DISGRACE, shame, humiliation, righ-

course of this Legislature, aud its do

important public interests. A gang of
vociferous demagogues has got posses

THERE is no uneasiness in admins
tration circles, reports from Washing
ton aver, about the ratification of the
treaty of peace by the Senate, although
several Republican Senators and a
number of Democratic Senators are
talking against ratification. The only
thing that the opposition can do is to
delay ratification by preventing vote
at the coming session. 1t would be
better, of course, that the treaty should
be promptly ratified, but inasmuch as
we shall have everything in our own
hands, and as there is no intention to
govern the newly acquired territory in
any other way than by military rule,
for at least year, the delay will make
no material difference, even if it ex-
tends to the end of the coming session
of Congress. The President can easily
call an extra session of the Senate,
which will be strongly Republican, af-
ter the fourth of next March, to ratify
the treaty, and he can be sure that it
will be speedily done.

Loving Cup Proprieties.

Just now loving cups are much in
evidence at reunions and the like. but
have not seen any loving cup passed
that is true to Its name. The loving
cup originated as mafterof precaution
in olden times, when apparent friends
had an unpleasant method of killing a
friend who was rival while he was
drinking. So an immense heavy cup
was made with q heavy cover. The
method OF using 1t can still be Wit
messed at banquets at the Mansion
House In London. The person receiv-

who also rises and takes the cover with
both hands. The first person then
raises the heavy cup to his lips with
both hands. and having slipped OF the

side replaces the cover and takes the
cup. repeating the same process I'm

both hands being occupied there, is no
possibility of one friend stabbng
another. In our time the custom has
degenerated and the cover as a rule
disappeared. Nevertheless IL both hands
were occupied that would not prevent
tongues from wagging later. and words
