Biblical Recorder

Time was when we looked To tic Tres
hyterianS with assurance OF their cul-
turc and their dignity. We confess that
when the North Carolina Presbyterian
came out in behalf Of State-aid ana man
ife>tcd Il Willingness 10 discuss the queS-
ton. we took assurance Of tins sort. ana
We're glad for the prospect OF Il Wholc-
somc discussion. Imagine our dl>al-
| pointment upon realizing that the Pres
byterian has gone the beaten WAY OF all
the others who have taken that side of
the Statc-aid controversy. We answered
its first argument according To the tests
OF reason. 1t %rejoins with bubbles. small
talk and ridicule. 1t must be impossible
to defend State-aid.
II is useless to argue with an oppo-
nent. who 50 clearly has no purpose Of
being either fair or di-nitied. vino would
rather appear to gain a little point by a
audible than to meet Il real proposition
with argument. But once again in hopes
that it Will perceive and understand.
The Presbyterian prints 4 letter con
tanning the Inference that the Recorder
stated that five hundred Prc>hytcrianS
scented to the position he took III Il
speech at Red Springs. Il letter from Il
gentleman who once before found him
self confronted with the necessity of con
Tossing that he had misrepreScntcd us.
We said we were never more cordially
endorsed than at Red Springs: and that
there were 800 PrcSbytcrianS present,
giving it to be understood that many Of
them were with us. We did not take
the names down. rs they We're introduce
cd: and Of course any one Will recognize
the childiShncSS of the preShytcrianS
request that we give names. There were
between two thousand and three thou
sand people at the Red Springs meet
ing. and that being Il Presbyterian
stronghold we take it that the estimate
that 900 Presbyterians were pres
ent is Il moderate one.
But the larger question IS the qucS-
ton Of principle. Men may deny and
affirm facts all day to 10 profit or pro
-ress: but when YOU come to 4 principle
it is like 4 tliirtccn-inch shell hurled
from !; hattlcShip, and YOU have got to
meet it with proper arlno or get out OF
the WAY. or be annihilatcd. And what
docs the Presbyterian do: Behold:
NO higher education by the State IS
better for Christianity than for the State
to maintain higher cducation. And upon
this proposition we take our stand, sad
the Recorder. And the Presbyterian thus
namely but truly replies: TO which we
can only reply. There are things at
which one stands struck silent, rs 1T first

Very true. The Presbyterian stands
struck silent. and by Il simple logical
statement Of i proposition, silent as the
grave. 50 far as argument goes. It drops
the matter without another word and
ruslcs away from the principle back to
personalities. Under the circumstances
we feel that the Presbyterian deserves
credit for confessing that it has no reply
and must stand struck silent. Poor. sill

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PER

Now that the excitement Of war Is over
If is time to look ut the net results. ne
United States has acquired Porto Rlco
with $500 square miles, equal to seven
counties. Cuba has acquired ITS own
$4,000 square miles and SPAN retains
the Pbilippincs with 12O,0OO square
miles The people of the United States
have acquired the privilege of paying
$500. 100000 Of expenses of the war up
TO date and the bond holders have ac-
ouircd the bonds they much desired.
Thus. for our $500 square miles i'll Porto
Rico we have paid S1OO,OOO for each

exclusive of the future expenses OF mann

Pacific, including Oregon and Washing
ton. IL p~rincely domain. for SlJ.OoO,Ooo.
McKinIcyism pays $3.50, O0O,O 900 for 5000
miles of territory. But this has been a
political war from the beginning. l.
Sampson's fleet had been sent to the
Cape Verde Islands (when Ccr|era's
fleet was there. and for several wecks)
the same day Dewey went to Manila,
both fleets of the enemy could have been
sunk early in May and the war brought
to an end, by the same means that have
brought peace now. But indecision, de
lay. political appointments and lucrative
army contracts have marked the whole
war.
The army is still costing us one mil
