MONEY FOR WAR NEEDS.

Washington. April 5.--Notwithstand-
Ing the responsibility for originating
revenue measures rests with the house
and not with the senate, there is still
much discussion of ways and means
TO this end among individual senator's,
and the subject bids fair to prove the
basis OF sharp controversy, especially
IL an attempt Is made to secure an is
suance of bonds. which has already been
suggested by some of the senators as the
most feasible means of raising money.
There is a large element in the senate
which Will not assent to the passage OF
law authorizing the issuing of bonds,
even in case OF war. This element Is
composed of the advocates OF the free
coinage OF silver, many OF whom at
least Will take the position that there
Is no necessity for bonds so long as
there is uncoined silver In the treasury.
When sounded on the proposition, they
have said In reply that they would urge
the coinage of the seignorage and the
remainder OF the silver in the vaults.
IL this is not sufficient. they will prefer
the issue of greenbacks TO bonds. Fur
thermore. they contend that the execu-
tive branch of the government cannot,
under existing law. issue bonds ex-
cept to maintain the gold reserve and
as this Is now intact the probabilities do
not point TO an early bond issue.

Policy OF the United States In Dealing
With Cuban Question.

" 'Nff Dt'eAfa ~<tNetichs
Boston, April SIN dealing with the
clamors Of the peace upholders The Post
argues Either the general policy OF
this government in dealing with the Gu
ban situation is wrong from the begin
ming, or ii should be followed out to the
end. whether that end be peace or
war. III IL is none OF our business what
Spain does with her American colonies
on our shores we ought not to NEEDLE
at all in the fate of the suffering Gu
bans: but II 1t is our business to see that
humanity is not outraged at our doors.
and to uphold the cause of humanity
and liberty we cannot stop at the firSg>
indication OF disturbance of peaceful
conditions. When the peaceful phases
OF our policy are exhausted without re-
suit. there Is a resource of force-in
case we think the policy worth sus-
tanning. AS Collector Warren is re-
ported to have said: 1T is time to act
or forever hold our peace
1T seems to be acknowledged now on
all hands, says The Journal today
that President Mckinley has resolved
upon a stalwart American policy. and
that the devastation and torture OF
The Journal believes with all its heart
that the same wholesome and enlight-
ened public sentiment which has sup
ported him thus far will support him
with emphasis in his present determi-
nation. III Is just what The Journal
has expected of President Mckinley all
along. 1t is just what II has assured
its readers would be the inevitable and
righteous outcome"
Predicating it's criticism on the sup
position that the president will argue n
favor Of Cuban independence. The Globe
says: THAT such declaration would
be given most cordial support in both
branches of congress there Is no room
to doubt. As regards consequences,
the Spanish minister to this country,
Polo Bernabe. is on record as stating
that recognition of Cuban independence
would not necessarily mean war. and IL
is more than probable that for time at
least. the cards of diplomacy would be
played with moro earnestness and vigor
than ever. because OF the very fact that
the position OF the United States regard
Ing Cuba had become clearly defined be-
fore the world"

American Missionary Association.


 New York, Jan. 2S. 1S9S.--The Ameri- can Missionary association has is- sued a statement to Congregational Sunday schools, Endeavor societies, and churches, relative to observing Lincoln Memorial Sabbath, February l2, as a special time for considering the work of the A. M A., on the ground that President Lincolns life was inti- mately connected with the A. M. A. field. A native Highlander himself, by his proclamation freeing the Negroes, he was almost the first president, say the officials of the association, to take 8 patriotic and Christian view of the h. dian problem Hence, three departments of the A. M. A. work--the Negro, the work among the Southern Highlanders (white), and the Indians-are said to gather about President Lincoln name.
 The officials of the association affirm that there are ''as many illlterates among Negroes to-day as when they were freed" Their progress is regard ed as wonderful, half of them having learned to read and write, whereas it was a crime in most states to teach
 them their letters thirty years ago. To-day there is said to be an intelli-
 gent Christianity and an educated min- isty among them. One hunded and eighty-nine Congregational churches have been established by the A. M. A. The work among the Southern High flanders is for the benefit of two million to two million five hundred thousand, who are regarded as of splendid blood. Huguenot, Scotch Presbyterians, and Dutch are said to be eager for the bet ter advantages. The association has received propositions from different communities of the Highlands, each promising to glvesland, and in some cases buildings, if the A. M A. will only take charge of them and put in the teachers. The teachers of the A. M. A.
 are said to have an exceptionally good reputation among the Mountaineers. Of the 10000 Indian children of school age only about 1S,o00, according to the American Missionary Association, are provided for in the government schools. The Christian education of the Indian is said to be larger and more press ing problem to-day than ever before Seventeen Indian churches have been SdtuGicu by tllS. 4. NI. A. lilSSlOlldIIeS. The hospital at Fort Yates, N. D., for Indian women and children, has been carried on for the last few years by special contributions.
 The Cape Prince of Wales Mission in Alaska is referred to as of special inter- est just now. The Klondike excitement turns the thought of all business men as well as Christians to this territory. This mission is the only one main- tained by Congregationalists in all Alaska. Its support comes only by special gifts.
