PRAISES THE DEAD STATESMAN.
Or. Hebern's Eloquent EuIogy of the
Grand Ola Man,

Or. Hebern's Eloquent EuIogy of the
Grand Old Man,
New York, May 23.-The Rev DR.. He
bern preached an interesting sermon on
the life Of Gladstone at All Souls Protest
ant Episcopal Church He said, in part:
1T is as a statesman that Mr.. Gladstone
is known throughout the world and honor
ed wherever he is known. For sixty years
he has been in public life, the observed
or all observers. His long career in public
life has witnessed growing recognition
not merely of his ability but of his char
acter Mr.. Gladstone was a statesman.
not a politician. He had very little anti
tude In managing men,. His influence
over his followers was almost boundless,
but it was the influence of his personality
not Of his manipulation. Men far inferior
to him surpassed him in their ability to
manage a party. He surpassed all his
contemporaries and almost every predeces-
sor in English history in his ability to i'm
press upon party his great ideas and
convictions. His power lay in his thoughts
and his belief.
ITO begin at the beginning. he was all
solutely disinterested pecuniarily in his
pubic life When he was at one time
prime minister he declined to consent TO
an increase of salary. on leaving office
hnally he made no attempt to secure a
pension.
He was nobly above the sordid consid-
eratlons Of public life. which mess and
enslaves so many of our public men.
TO him public Office was a public trust
and not private perquisite. His power
was TO him something far more than an
oportunity for creating patronage. Il was
an opportunity for serving man in pro-
noting better conditions of life He de-
sired popularity, and had 1t in a measure
almost unequalled in English history. In
him was statesman who literally tried
to administer government according to the
ethics of Jesus Christ. He was in truth
the nearest counterpart which our modern
world has ever known Of the old Hebrew
prophet. When such a man comes 10 us
from God, the people viii proclaim him
king by the calling and ordination of the
most high"

points in his areIment was the necessity
of keeping the church and state separate
bodies He held that the petition Of the
South Carolina synod was an Official act
OF the church and was Gnscriptural and
unconstitutional.
Presiding Elder W. T. Stevenson Of South
Carolina appeared for the defendant. He
argued that 1t was the right Of the church
to protest when the ruling power did some
thing which was wrong.
DR.. Humphries of South Carolina said
they had nothing but the fourth commanl-

DR.. Palmer argued that under church
law the synod of South Carolina had the
right TO make the protest. though he was
opposed 10 the law.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, July rs, 1898.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. July rs, 1898.
Peace may speedily follow General
Skaters victory in compelling the sur.
render Of Santiago and $4,000 Spanish
troops, but, Notwithstanding all that
has been and is being printed to the
contrary, there is nothing official in
sight to indicate 1t. Every act of the
administration since the surrender of
Santiago, indicates the belief that the
end of the war is still long way off.
In fact, there is little probability Of
peace until the members Of the Spanish
government get rid of the idea that the
wishes of European powers are to be Il
factor in the terms Of peace, and recog
nize the fact that those terms are to be
dictated from Washington.
The breaking out of yellow fever in
our army at Santiago has made it Ger.
tain that no summer campaign against
Havana will be undertaken. The al
mlnistration is unwilling to send our
soldiers where that disease can hardly
be escaped during next three moths.
When the news first reached Washing
ton that there were several hundred
cases Of yellow fever in our army at
Santiago, it came very near creating
panic. Every possible prccaution is
being taken to prevent the fever becom-
ing epidemic, and, although news Of
the progress Of the fever is very meagre
owing to rigid censorship at Santiago,
here is now little better feeling, But
there is still much uneasiness, and am
pie cause for it, too.
The condition which binds US to send
the $4,000 Spanish troops, captured at
Santiago, back to Spain is regarded in
Washington ss an excellent one. Al.
though it is big job. 1t can be much
easier accomplished than WIS the land.

that will carry them can 60 right up
the Santiago wharves to receive them.
1t will be much cheaper 10 send them
home than it would be to keep them as
prisoners.

Just returned from visit to his brother,
who is Lieut.. Col. of Torrey's Rough
Riders, now at Jacksonville, Florida,
1opped at TT. Mcpherson, Ga, where
he visited some wounded friends. He
gays of that visit: II never have seen
anything like the patriotism Of the
7oounded soldiers at Fl. Mcpherson.
he wounded of the Oath Infantry,
which came from Fl. Douglas, Utah,
and who participated in the battle of
San Juan, are there, and the officers
and men are anxious and eager to get
back in the fray"
Experience teaches Governments as
we'll as individuals. When the cam
paign against Santiago was started it
vas the opinion Of those on the inside
f the administration circle, and was
ublicly stated in a semi official way,
hat it was the intention Ct the
government, after taking Santiago, to
vithdraw all our troops, except posi-
ly regiment or two left for show, and
2 'ow the Cubans to establish their civil
7ernmeut in the town--to make it
