ranged to attend service tomorrow morn

The sacred concert last Sunday evening
at the Monmouth House was so successful
that 1t will be a regular feature of the

summer. One of the principal participants
last Sunday was Miss Bruno, who rendered
several vocal selections.
Interest in base ball is waxing here es-
pecially since the Spring Lake team began
whipping all of its opponents. The latest
victory was that over the Allenhurst team
goes down to Point Pleasant the first of
the week to play the team there.

The Philippines; for Honor or for
Greeds

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Mixed motives have led to our war with
Spain Liberty for Cuba" says one,
claiming that our expenditure of blood AMI
treasure is pure benevolence, disinterest-
ed effort to relieve the oppressed. Re
member the Maine cries another, and to
avenge the sudden death of hundreds on
our battle ship, hundreds more are sent to
fall before Santiago, while thousands Ian
guish with wounds or fever. and life or
death to the Spaniards becomes a minor
question.
Terms of peace are now under considera-
ton, and the fate of the Philippines may
be largely determined by public sentiment.
In our sober second thought, shall good
will and the cause of freedom or greed and
thirst for empire carry the day? Honor
and true greatness result from what we
are not from what we have. Our honor is
pledged to set the captive free in Cuba
and we hear the cry, 1.-The Cubans are not
worth the powder" Political and religious
oppression may engender habits of
Incidence, deceit and dependence, a slavery
that cannot be broken by change of goy-
ernment, but only by new habits of fore
thought and self-control. If our motive
for this war Is liberty to the Cubans, our
responsibilities have widened far hey md
our intention, and the true welfa,e Of all
races under our control should now be- the
great purpose OF our wisest craftsmanship.

give prominence to the Nicaragua canal
ard also to interna tional arbitration, espe-
cial reference being had to the proposed
treaty with England which was defeated

1t is argued by many that the sentiment
now demanding alliance with England can
be utilized to provide this kind Of a treaty.
The commercial phases of the new colonial
possessions will be discussed, as well as the
future disposition of the Philippines. Mr..
