centuries ago, and left the black flag
of the Infidel flying over it. The great
IAnglo-SaXon race, with its guns shot
ted in the interest OF commerce
leaves it there. And why? Because
the religion OF Christ" as Landor
says, which is peace and good will,
has given way 10 the religion of Chris
tendon which is that Of war and i'll

And now there is another spectacle.
The Emperor of Germany, not as a
representative of peace and good will
to- man, but as the supreme comman-
der of the most formidable army of
this generation, stands upon the Holy
Ground at the altar of the new Church
of the Redeemer, and says to the
world:
From Jerusalem there came the
light, in the splendor of which the
German nation became great and
glorious What the Germanic people
have become they became under the
| banner of the cross, the emblem of
seIf-sacrificing Christian charity. As
nearly 1000 years ago, SO there shall
today ring out from Jerusalem the cry
voicing the ardent hope Of all for

Here is no apostle of peace and good
will, though the lips say it, but as Rus
kin said 1t; preaching His presence
in gunpowder."

of the Earth in perpetual trust for His
worshippers? How long shall the sac
ired spot remain in the hands OF the
unspeakable Turk who holds it, by
virtue of the wrangling of those who
agree only in this, that the curtain
shall not yet drop over the most hui
initiating spectacle Of the centuries?

NOTES ON EVENTS.

The election returns, throughout the
country indicate an increased
strength Of the Republican party in
the Senate. The division of power in
the House IS not clearly settled, al
though the latest dispatches show a
Republican majority.
The increased strength Of the Re
publicans viii enable the party to carry
out its expansion policy, so far as trea-
ties are concerned. In other matters,
dependent upon the joint legislation of
both houses, the execution of its po-
licy will depend upon the later returns
of the votes, and the possible increase
of Democratic representatives.
Ifitappears that the Republicans Will
not control the next House, there will
be much and rapid legislation on sub
jects connected with the expansion po-
licy. The status of Hawaii will be
quickly declared, and proper legisla
ton enacted at once, in order to fore
stall Democratic opposition in the next
House. This condition of affairs may
take us ont of the present uncertainty
regarding :. our future, political condi-
ton. On. the other hand, it may lead
to some. hasty and unwise legislation
about our affairs.
The election of Colonel Roosevelt,
by about 1000 majority is in fact a
triumph in the interests of good gov
eminent But the majority is not sat
isfactory. 1t should have been 10000
instead of 10000 No doubt Plat
KNITTED" him, but could not drive the
knife into a vital spot. The decrease
OF the Republican vote by $4,000 in
Greater New York, simply shows that
the machine was directed by Platt not
to help Roosevelt. Besides, Colonel
Roosevelt made some injudicious re-
marks about the volunteers which
their friends resented. Owing also, to
tne Canal frauds, the Mugwump vote
was not heartily given to the Repub-
lican candidate.
There was some nope by the Demo-
Gratis that the mismanagement OF mill
tary campaigns, in the matter of the
care of the soldiers, would increase the
Democratic vote. But the people have
roughly replied to the Democrats:
you can't manage a military cam
paign any better than the Republic
cans have.
The success of the Republican ticket
in Pennsylvania, in spite of the pro-
digious efforts of the reformers, shows
that the sense of the people is that
Republican rule even if it is not as
clean as it might be, is better than
Democratic rule.
The meetings of the Peace Commits
sioners in Paris indicate that Spain
still continues to struggle for better
terms She is in vice. For, If her
commissioners withdraw, it means the
loss of the Philippines without the
least compensation. The reports about
European interference still continue,
but it is altogether probable that they
will not NEEDLE with the American
pigeon" 1t simply won't pay.
SPANS only hope now is in the re-
action against expansion that the vol
unteer troops may raise in the United
States, on the ground that they have
had fun enough in the Philippine
swamps

Roosevelt was stronger as a soldier

ALASKA IS attracting an
enormous amount Of atten-
ton just now, and every line
.Of matter containing refer
ence TO it, is eagerly scanned
by thousands.
In view of this, perhaps it
is not out Of place to mention
a few facts worth consider
ing.
1. The Alaska is con-
structed upon strictly scien-
tific principals, by which low
temperature and dryness of
air are naturally and newt
ably obtained.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hot
test weather.
3. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice
than any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber
free from odor.
:. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch
and a half space filled with
pure charcoal, and experience
extending over three and a
half years, has convinced
us t at the Alaska is without
doubt, the best refrigerator
on the market, in construc-
ton, in power 10 preserve
perishable goods, in economy
Of ice, and in fact, in all
points necessary to make
them first class in every re-

town this week. They put up a
machine in the large store of Mr.. w.

town. II is the prettiest light we ever
saw, being much whittier aud brighter
than gass. The machine is simple and
there is nothing about it to get out OF

should have by all means, aud we can
uot see why they will use unsatisfac-
tory coal oil lamps any longer when
such light as the acetyleue can be
had at such small price.
