From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)

The Philippine question is heated from
end to end. 1t must be confessed that it
is very hard to take hold of. The govern
meut and people Of the United States have
done so well up 10 date however that
there is the richest ground for hope of a
good solution, that viii justify this coun-
try without a 900 violent wrenching of
traditions that are as sacred as the De-
claration of Independence and the consti-

should Not Go Too Far.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

"How far shall we go?" asks Harpers
Weekly, in discussing the expansion busl-
ness. If the matter be left to the jingoes
and jobbers We will probably go round
the world; but If the PLAN people, who
have to stand the brunt of the war taxes.
shall have The say, we are not likely to
90 far until we know the cost of the trip
and all the particulars.

Steve Elkins' commercial instincts stick
out all over. He explains his advocacy
OF the retention Of the Philippines by the
United States on the ground that other
nations would pay big money for them.
while we can get them for nothing. His
idea is as interesting as it is characteristic
of the Hon. Steve who is noted for his de-
sire for getting something for nothing.

President Mckinley is undoubtedly well
worn out physically and mentally after
the severe strain which the war has put
upon him. The people will hardly indulge
in any criticism this time if he does take
the Dolphin and run off on a little sea

The Spanish people are having consid-
cradle difficulty in anding any sunshine
Tor themselves in the peace protocol, in
spite Of the explanation which was given
out by the Madrid government. The whole
difficulty lies in the fact that the Spanish
people have not been able to realize up
to date just how badly they We're whip

realize that they have been allowed to fall
on feather bed so to speak.

As If the one-cent bushel proposition
were not enough, there are some Kansas
farmers who have sought to start an
endless chain letter series for the Letters,

GERK1E's VEGETABLE GARDEN.
Brief History of the Site of the Old Presbyterian Church on Mason
 Sfrao&

The demolition of the old Presbyterian church on Mason street, north of Eddy, on which a music hall Is about to be erected, brings to mind one of the early chapters in the history of San Francisco
 The spot where the church now stands was in the early f1ftieS the private resi- dence of Henry Gerkie, he who owned the present vineyard of the estate of Senator Leland Stanford at Vina, Tehama Coun- ty. Gerkie, who was among the early settlers in San Francisco, climbed over the western sandhillS away from the plaza and located in the then outside sec tion of the city on Mason street and built a cottage where the church now about to be razed has stood for the past thirty four years. Alongside of this place, cov- ering two squares, was a vegetable gar den, out of which the shrewd Gerkie sup piled the early settlers with such vegeta- bles as were then needed. mule trail over the sandhills was the only means by which the market was supplied out of this garden, and 1t was no uncommon occurrence for Gerkies mule driver to bring home to his employer from $100 to $l50 for a days sale of the luscious vege- tables that grew in the place.
 This condition of trade kept up until 1862, when J. K. Prior purchased 30XS2 feet from the original owner on the cor ner of Mason and Eddy streets for the sum of $2500.
 The old cottage occupied by Gerkie was removed in 1864 and the church took it's place, but progress and the advance ment of the city which does not even re- spect churches forced the removal of the congregation to the corner of Polk street and Golden Gate avenue. The property when the owner is about to erect a music hall in its stead

PARKS. AND SQUARES. The Freeholders Add One More Com mission to the Mayors Ap-
 yooiptrOanfS

At last nights session of the Freehold CTS Irving M. Scott O. D. Baldwin and J. B. Reinstein appeared and advocated the creation of a separate commission for the management of all the public parks and souares within the city and county.
 Their arguments prevailed, and one more commission was added to the May or's list.
 After this was disposed of the Free holders settled down to work on that part of the proposed charter relating to the department of public works The several articles bearing on the duties of this through smoothly. One section however, that on the protest of property owners against street improvements, was the cause of some debate. As the law now stands, one-half of the property-owners has the power to stop all Improvements for an indefinite period by protesting every six months. This was changed so that after the first six months it will re- ouire two-thirds of all the property own CTS to join in the protest to further stop the improvement.
 That section which was referred at a previous session bearing on the tearing up of streets by corporations for the pur- pose of laying pipes, etc., was amended in so far that after an estimate is made of the expense of each block on the line proposed to be operated a deposit must he made with the commission to cover the expense of putting the street in its former condition.
 The section providing for the removal of officers by the Mayor provoked much for the votes of sixteen Supervisors be- fore the action of the Mayor became final, but this was so amended that fourteen was substituted.

WAS NOT coMPELLEDTo RESIGN
hrs. Pettee Denies That She Was Forced From the Eureka
 Society

An echo of the recent quarrel which took place and characterized the meet ing of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which was held last Frlday evening, has been heard and Mrs. John Pettee has come forth to denounce the accusation that she was forced to resign from the organization as q r1In,or utterly false and without the least foun- datlon. She claims that she wac neither forced from the chair nor even asked to resign her position as nresi dent, which she has held almost since the birth of the institution, and when at last she, with her own accord de clded to hand in her relinquishment na- PeTS, thereby severing her connectfon Ve WItn the society, the resignation was not accepted by the directors, who refused to ,appo1nt successor in her place.
 From Mrs. Pettee's definition of +ba GlIIicuitleS which have characterized the society or late the cause of the entire trouble lies in the fact that money onI Iected for the institution has been eU,- an- proprlated by outsiders, who have neUer turned cent into the coffers. where + rightly belongs, but on the contrarv nave used the money to line their ou1 lhdiVldual pockets, totally ignorjnp tha urgent needs of the society She cIa;ros that, although she is the founder of tba society, and should therefore have jtS best interests at heart, she will not re- sume the official responsibility of r1linp It unless an Investigating committee ie appointed that will act as a check 1Inon the unscrupulous persons who take if upon themselves to systematically rob the society of its just dues

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words of. Friends Are Genuine and
 ReIiabIs

It is easy for people to talk about them selves. and state what they may have done but it is far better to have other people speak for you. The words which follow are the frank expressions of people who know of what they speak.
 Rev. Vim. w. Whitney of Linlithgo, N. Y, says: "I have been afflicted more or less for six years past with malaria, ague. have had pneumonia three times and have been troubled with bronchial and catarrhal trouble of the throat. Two years ago I had the grip. which ran into catarrhal pneumonia. While in this con- dition I began taking something of which I had heard much, and am rejoiced to say that have been practically cured by the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey-"
 MT. John K. Chase, Amesbury, Mass, says: For some six years past my wife has been suffering from nervous proStra- tion. For years she was troubled with in- somnia and nothing recommended by the most eminent physicians would induce sleep. Under the advice of physicians she recently tried Duffy's malt whiskey in small quantities and with the most satis- factory results. While Mrs. Chase has always been stanch in her temperance principles and consistent in practice, she valids who need a gentle stimulant Duffy's pure malt whiskey.'
 E. c. Avila. of the Brooklyn association for improving the condition of the poor, says: "I have used Duffy's pure malt whiskey for the past two years, having suffered from severe headaches and nerv- ous proStration. 1 have been very much relieved by the use of the whiskey and have, gained nearly seventeen pounds in weight"
 The above statements speak for them selves.

The Charmer Made the Run in a Hundred and
 Fourteen Days.
Sprung Her Mainmast Head and Injured Three of the
 Men in a Gale.
Disastrous Ending of the Klondike Expedition on the Sloop
 Anna Catherina.

The American ship Charmer arrived from New York yesterday in the fast time of IA days. The Charmer was twice spoken during the passag age-on November 20 in latitude 34 north, lon gitude 49 west, and a month later in latitude 16 south, longitude 36 west.
 On December 90, in latitude 34 g south. longitude 50 F west, the Charm CT ran into a heavy southwest gale, which did considerable damage. She sprung her mainmast head, and heavy sea which broke aboard seriously in- jured the mate and two of the sailors. The men were we'll taken care of and are now almost as well as ever
 The bark King Cyrus has made an- other start for San Francisco via Hum boldt from Newcastle, N. s. w. On the former occasion she was only a few days at sea when a terrific storm nearly wrecked her. Her captain man. aged to get her into Sydney harbor, but she had to be run on the flats to pre- vent her from sinking. Her cargo of coal was discharged and the vessel was put on the dry dock for repairs. After a thorough overhauling she took on an- other cargo and sailed again for Hono- lulu yesterday.
 The steamer Umatilla sailed for Pu- get Sound yesterday. She will connect at Seattle with the steamer Queen and will transfer to her a number of miners bound for the Klondike There were the usual scenes at the wharf prior tc the sailing of the Umatilla.
 D. D. and M. Stewart, H. Calder and R. A. Chisholm were going up on the Umatilla, but changed their minds and will go overland to Seattle, where they will join the Queen. The Stewards and Calder are partners of Alec Mcdonald the King of the Klondike, and Chis- holm is the son of the Well-knoWn con- tractor and builder of that name.
 One Klondiker was several minutes late for the steamer, but he was not to be beaten. He took whitehall boat

THOUGHTS FOR MINISTERS.
Interesting Papers Read at the Vari- ous Meetings Yesterday.

The Methodist ministers are making ex- tensive preparations for the arrival of Dr. and Mrs. Baldwin, the secretaries of the foreign missions, who have been travelling in the Orient for some time past. They are expected to reach this city on Sunday next.
 On Monday 1t is their intention to hold a large meeting in the Y. M. c. A. Audi torium and to invite the members of the various ministerial unions to defer their regular meetings on that day and join with them in greeting the travellers.
 In the evening at the Central M. B.. Church there will be a large rally, at which Dr. and Mrs. Baldwin will be pres ent to tell of their experiences in China.
 A paper was read by Rev. Mir. Rich at the Methodist meeting yesterday, his sub- ject being ''The Holy Spirit, the Giver of Life.' during the course of which he made the statement that he believed the but by the doing of the Holy Ghost. who
 had wise purpose for each child born into the world. He said 1t has been clearly shown in the Bible where God had di- rectiy influenced the birth of children. as in the case of John the Baptist, and MT. Rich argued that if God had intervened in the sex of man in the earlier days why

 Rev. MT. Young read a paper before
 version and Growth" He commented on
 the views of Professor Starbuck of Stan ford and remarked that instead of the
 ministers being against the professor, as
 at first, they owe him debt of gratitude for his writings on this subject.
 Present Views of the Atonement'' was | the paper read before the Presbyterians yesterday by pr. Burnett, and the article caused much discussion. He contended that the death of Christ absorbed the sins of the people. He also stated that hts death was not an eXpiation but only a
 means of bringing life He also said: ''In all probability a theory of the atone ment that shall satisfy the claims of rea- son and conscience and scripture and science is yet to be found"
 The CongregationaliSts were entertained
 and edified by paper read by Rev. w. $. Scudder on Christian Socialism" The Christian ministers heard some re-
 marks by Rev. MT. Berry on Christian demned the method of publicly censuring the sinner, but rather recommended that kindness be shown him. He also said that the congregation was the one. that had power over the wayward member rather than the general body.
 The German ministers listened to pa- per on "Brotherly Love and Its Influence
 on the Social Life," by Rev. Dr. Bonn. A gentleman appeared before all the meetings of the ministers with the sug-
 gestion that they join with others in petitioning the President for a national day of fasting and prayer that the threatened war may be averted. The ad-
 vocate was not thought to be man of enough reliability so no action was taken by the ministers

HOW TO RAISE MONEY.
Attorney George Hayford Is an Ex.
 pert at the Business.

Attorney George Hayford is wanted on charges of passing worthless checks on a number of storekeepers on the strength of having 4o cents to his credit in the Union Trust and Loan Company
 A warrant for his arrest was issued in Judge Campbell's court on Friday for passing a worthless check for $5 on the Ralston restaurant on Market street and yesterday two more warrants were sworn out against him. One was at the instance of E. H. Baxter, druggist, 949 Market street. On March Hayford went into his store, and, on the strength that he was a regular customer, he got a cehck for S5 cashed, which was returned dis honored.
 The other was at the instance of D. M Fletcher, grocer, Hayes street and Van Ness avenue. About two weeks ago Hay ford went into his bar and, after purchas- ing drink or two, gave a $10 check in payment, receiving the balance in cash in the first case he is charged with petty larceny by trick, fraud and device, and in the second with obtaining money by false pretenSeS
