DUN FOR CHURCH MEMBERS.
(Chicago Chronicle.l

After careful consideration the Centen-
airy Methodist church, of Portland, Ore.
has decided upon a novel plan of raising
funds necessary in conducting the affairs
of the congregation. 1t was suggested by
the Rev. j. j. Waters, who has deter
mined to run his church as a democra-
cy, giving everybody an opportunity and
inuucement to contribute. At a meet
in" OF the influential members, he eX-
planned his plan. He showed Il large ros-
ter with all the members of the church
on it. Opposite each name are tifty-two
spaces for credit marks. The roster is
placed III the veStibulc of the church,
where it remains, i'll plain view of every
one entering the church. At the close
of every month the roster is taken down
and all who have contributed amy thing
to the current expenses of the church
are checked up in the spaces opposite
the names. The amount paid is not Civ
en-. but the check indicates that some
thing, however small, has been paid to-
ward the support of the church. The
contribution comes into the hands Of the
clerk by means of envelopes, and the
AMOUNT and name are obtained in this
way. The rosters will show lust who
has paid anything and who has not. It
Is CLAIMED for the system that the delin-
Quents get tired after while seeing the
row of blanks after their names. and no.
Gin to pay something in order to fill nm
the blank spaces. 1t is Il sort Of ever
present dunning board. 1t looks down
with significant silence on every NOM
Der who enters the church door. The do
lInquent cannot escape its all-seeinr
eye. Whether present or absent. he
Knows 1t IS there. and the blank spaces
seem constantly to say PAY sometime,
The meeting adopted the plan miami

ENGLAND ON her KNEES

The late Geographic report of Rus
sia's acquisition in China having been
confirmed, can it be possible, is not
probable, that Great Britain has lost,
for all time, and for good, her hold on
China? What is the matter with Sa-
lisbury, and where is his Pacific fleet?
Have Russia, France and Germany an
nulled British interests and floored
English pride? It looks that way, to
the world. Johnny Bull clustered over
his Chinese partition in regular jingois-
tic fashion, made war-like prepara-
tions, sent a fleet to the Yellow Seas,
and declared for English prestige there
at all hazards, yet Russia has got, fast
Germany but little less, with France
holding her own in southern China
The truth is, we suspect that the tight
little isle" has bit off more than she
can masticate, has swallowed more Of
the outlying world than she can assim-
ilate. She has too many disconnected
and scattered broods to defend and
dominate. Like an old hen that has
Matched a mixed brood of chickens.
ducks, gozlings and guinea fowls, the
task of directing and covering proves a
difficult one. Her troubles in India
and on the upper Nile in Africa where
her interests conflict with the ambi-
tons of Ruswsia upon the one hand
and the vested rights of France upon
the other, have perplexed her premier
and his cabinet more than the Eng
lish people dream Of And now added
to these comes the unexpected Chinese
contratemps. This loss Of prestige in
the east will prove a bitter pin for the
British pride.

THE SITUATION IN A NUTSHELL.

Spain is not blind to the inequalities
and death struggle between that coun-
try and the United States. At bot
tom Spain still hopes to win with dip
lomacy, not with war. Still the Don is
a man who will not hesitate to fight be-
cause the odds are against him. His
devotion to country and traditional
glory is a blind one. For at least five
hundred years that has been his char
acteristic nationality. He whipped the
Roman empire at least twice. For gen.
erations he saw this country only in
the light of a Spanish colonial child.
Craftsmanship to him means intrigue.
diplomacy. To negotiate, palate and
delay until times brings an advantage
or relief is his statescraft. But the
Spaniard will fight, while his blind de-
votion will lead him to make any
sacrifice, a fact unpleasantly enough
attested by the thousands upon thou
sands of the skeletons of his young
sons lying bleaching in the swamps and
Wondering IN the malarial soil Of
Cuba Cuba is only valuable to the
reigning House of Spain. 1t is worth
nothing to the average citizen of that
country. Yet note the sacrifice they
have made to retain it for their
crown. While they know that there is
nothing short of independence for Gu
ba that can settle the question, and
while fully approaching the advant-
ages that this country possesses over
them, with Cuba at our doors, when all
diplomatic negotiations shall have fail
ed and no further delay is possible, the
Spaniard will not back down. He will
fight. The independence Of Cuba, there
fore, involves the necessity of first
whipping Spain. as it also probably in
wolves the existence of its present gov
erning house, if not the nationality of
that historic country.

THE DAY-THE HOUR.

All eyes are turned to Washington
War, rather than religion, will engross
the minds of the people Of this country
Through the hours OF this Sabbath day
What will tomorrow reveal is a ques
ton that will be discussed all the
world around on this Palm Sunday
this Peace Sabbath of the year. The
manipulators of HOROSCOPE lines, the
students Of prophesies and the vision
airy dreamers have all been uniting IN
predicting a universal war of nations
for the closing years Of the Nineteenth
century. But in all these prognostica-
tons the United States were the last to
be involved, if at all. Yet for this mo-
ment they threaten to be the first. To-
day the war spirit is at fever heat,
even iminent of street tumults in some
of the eastern cities over Spanish in
dignities to citizens Of the United
States, and the Cuban situation gen
orally. The coolest head seems TO be
that of the president. What his heart
emotions are can only be guessed at.
Chauncey M Depew, who believes we
are on the verge of war with Spain,
says: Mckinley in this crisis would
have been twice as warlike if he had
not been THROUGH war. Every sol
der 1 know is for peace. Grant was
for peace all the time; so was Sher-
man. 1 have had some experience as
q soldier IN the civil war. and am not
anxious for a conflict. find that the
most wariike men are the clergymen-"
In the meantime the talk in Wash
ington is furious. Under the pressure
Of threats and denunciations congress
itself would have been carried off its
feet within the week, but for the cool
determination of its presiding officers.
The storm of frenzy is one to which any
less self-possessed individuality than
that of the president would have prob
ably yielded. But the Washington
contingent which would declare war
alone on the ground of sympathy may
howl itself hoarse, and congress from
buncombe patriotism in growing hour
1y more beligerent, flaunt the torch and
cry for blood, the equilibrium of Presi-
dent Mckinley will be found rejecting
the consensus of conviction Of the
great majority of the really patriotic
and level-headed Of the element which
will supply the heroism. the loyalty
and the sinews of the conflict which
now seems so inevitable, but which the
hours of tomorrow may dissipate.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS

Diplomatic efforts being seemingly a
failure, and negotiations having prac-
ideally closed, the next thing on the
program, logically, is fight. From the
action of the House, as detailed in our
dispatches of yesterday morning, IL is
evident, however, that whether we
have war or not, we will have a navy
one of the strongest IN the world, and
that there will be no lack OF torpedo
boats The torpedo boat has suddenly
come into prominence, but what the
craft is like the average landsman has
little notion. A torpedo boat is all
hull. very slim, black thing, and all
under water and full Of fire and en-
giness. Its deck is so near the water
line as to be washed by every rough
sea 1t is cigar-shaped. about the
width Of a railway passenger coach
and one hundred or so feet long. The
more threatening war becomes the
more is the talk about torpedo boats.
This is because little is known by ex-
perience in warfare of the real mea-
sure of destruction possessed by tor
pedo boats and the effective defense
that may be made against them. 1t is
known OF course that the heavy guns
OF battleship or cruiser viii cause the
destruction OF a torpedo boat If she
is struck, and it is also known IL a tor
pedo boat launches a torpedo against a
ship, the ship, be she ever SO greaI,
is doomed on the instant The prob
lem. therefore, is how TO guard against
assailing torpedo boats and destroy
them before they reach their striking
distance. 1t is an unknown. or at least
INFESTED problem. Of most serious con-
sequence TO the navies of the world.
The greatest thing ever done. the big
gest victory ever won, by a torpedo
boat, was by Japanese affair which
destroyed the Chinese WaTsbip Ting
