WHAT Is a NAVY FoRp

II . navy is not built and maintained
for the defense of the national honor
and interests, what is it for?
If the national honor is not assailed
when one Of our warships is treacherous-
ly blown up by q submarine mine in the
harbor of power with which we are at
peace, what sort of a thing is national
honor, and how could it be attacked?
And if when a ship is thus destroyed
and 266 of her crew are killed we make
no demand for apology for the insult
and atonement for the crime, what is
the navy forf What is the good of an
army? And why cheer the flag and
boast of our patriotism and our Prov
ess?
Why New York World.

In the search for compromise it ap
pears the president, through Ministe,
Woodford at Madrid, suggested to the
Spanish government the Offering Of al
armistice to the Cubans to enable ne
gotiations for the establishment ot
peace to be made between Spain and
the insurgents" But the Cubans have
nothing to negotiate, that which they
are fighting for is well known, that
which they demand is independence
and in that demand they are indexible.
They demand what they are resolved
on attaining, nothing more, nothing
less. The terms upon which peace can
be re-established in Cuba are we'll
known, until those terms are complied
with, until the Spanish are driven from
the island and Cuba recognized by
Spain Al free and independent state
the Cubans cannot lay down their
arms. Armistices are only granted to
arrange terms Of peace, and as far as
Cuba is concerned, the terms Of peace
recognition Of Cuban independence,
are already written and until Spain &C
cepts those terms there can be no
thought Of peace, no cessation Of hos
tilities.
This suggestion of an ar,nistice made
by Minister Woodford to the Spanish
government was summarily rejected.
But the Pope suggests an armistice and
the Spanish government declares it's
readiness to grant it. Upon the recep-
tion of this suggestion the Spanish gov
ernment went further and announced,
what was wholly unwarranted, that
the Pope, at tho joint solicitation of the
United States and Spain, had agreed to
mediate the quarrel between Spain and
Cuba. Needless to repeat it CAM t be medi-
ated on any basis other than free
and absolute acknowledgement of
Cuban independence by Spain. But
what is more to the point the United
States never asked the mediation Of the
Pope and the Pope did not offer his
services as mediator when not asked
What object the Spanish Government
had in making such unwarranted an
is hardly conceivable un-
less it be that members of that govern
ment are not guiltless of lending their aid
tospeculative cliques, unles they are not
guiltless Of speculating in Spanish bonds
and using their official positions to turn
the course ofspeculation and so wealth
into the dishonored pockets. However
this may be, Spanish bonds rose four
points on the announcement, which,
allowing for their discount, is equiva-
lent to rise for about seven points on
the hundred, or per cent. quite neat

course of a morning. American.

Senator Mason receives an average Of
about 500 letters and kilograms day
on the Cuban question. and it is signi-
ficant that not more than one in ten 10

class of kilograms the Senator replied:

Representative White has been the
recipient Of many letters and kilograms
from residents Of Chicago, irrespective
of party, indorsing his stand on the
Cuban question. The following is an
expression from a prominent Demo

ACURIosrrY.

TO those who are old residents of
this congressional district it
will seem somewhat strange to read
speeches made by its representa-
tives. We have been so accustom-
ed to a silent member that a voice
from the Eighth seems rather start
ling, and must awaken surprise
among the members themselves.
But it is is a pleasure to know that
the Opaque silence which has been
Characteristic of our former repre-.
sentatives no longer prevails and
that we have in the National coun-
Gil one who can and does raise his
voice on the great questions which
dome before that body. Hon W. S.
Kirkpatrick delivered June 13 when
the House had under consideration
the joint resolution to provide for
annexing the Hawaiian Islands
forceful and logical spec ch in its
favor. 1t was the effort of one train
ed inforensic eloquence, clear, com
prehensive and convincing. Such
speeches impress, and are creditable
alike to the maker and the intelli
gence of the constituency sending the
man as its representative.

COL. LEWIS RETIRES.

COLONEL A. E. LEWIS who was
a candidate for the Democratic
Congressional Conferees in this
County has withdrawn. The con-
dition of his health is such as not
to permit him to make the active
canvass which he feels would be
necessary to win. Perhaps, too,
since the situation has been sized up,
and the announcement made that
Barber is slated for the nomination
with strong probability that he
will make it, there is less reason
why Pike should enter the contest.
Should Barber carry Carbon, as
now seems quite likely, and North.
ampton Conferees enter the Conven-
ton uhinstructed, it does not re-
quire much forecast to determine
the next nominee of the district.
Pike and Monroe we hope will at
least be allowed to sit on the fence
and see the Democratic procession
pass by in all its festive gayety,
with L. H. B. carrying alott his
device inscribed beaten in 1896 by
a majority of 329 in district
which gave in 1892 over 1000 Demo
cratic majority.
Mr.. Staples, and we take the lib
erty now to remind him, should
put string on his finger so that
when he makes Barber speeches
they should not be like the play
with Hamlet left out He should
con some striking phrases, for in
stance he might paraphrase the ad-
dress of Spartacus. Ye call me
brave, and ye do well to call him
brave who, amid the rock ribbed
fastness of this devoted District
dares proclaim the difficulty with
Monroe is healed, and that she is
solid for the nominee. Yes, she
win give him her votes with some
few exceptions without reserve, and
here Mr.. S. will, unconsciously, bui
significantly, feel if his collar but
ton is secure, thus indicating about
where Mr.. B. will get the most Of
them. We can imagine our JOSEPH

EXPERIMENTS CONCERNING
STOCK FEEDING.
(J. w. PALMER.)

The Secretary of Agriculture seems
to be planning Something new in the
way of scientific investigation in
connection with our Experiment
Station at the State College. If they
can make a success of the idea we
do not see why it will not be good
thing to do. We quote as follows
from the columns of the Stockman
and Farmer, of Pittsburg.
You will, L am sure, be pleased to
learn that the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has decided to enter into CO.
operation with this Station for the
prosecution of scientific investiga-
tions into the principles of animal
nutrition. 1t is proposed to construct
at the Station a respiration calorim-
eter adapted to experiments with do
mestic animals. BY means of this
instrument exact determinations
can be made of the total income
and outcome of the animal body
both in matter and energy. By
thus as it were, keeping an account
with the animal,it is possible to
learn exactly and in detail what use
it makes of its food under varying
conditions and thus to build up a
foundation of exact knowledge of
which the practice of feeding may
be based. A single apparatus of this
sort for experiments upon man has
been constructed at the Wesleyan
University, Middletown, Conn, but
no apparatus of this character for
experiments upon the domestic ami
mails exists in this country, nor in
deed inEurope, although some of the
European stations have forms of ap-
paratus which partially accomplish
what this is designed to. The Di-
rector of Station has been appointed
special agent of the Department for
this work and will shortly sail foi
Europe to make a study of the differ
ent forms ofapparatus there in use

PRINCE BISMARCK DEAD.
Germany's Great Statesman Passed
Away. Was Creator of United
Germany and Had Wonder
full Career.

Prince Otto Edward Leopold Bis
marck-Schonhauser died at Varzin,
his country home, Saturday, July
30, at IL p. m. He was born April
1, 1915, near Stendal, in Prussian
Saxony, and educated at Gottingen.
His public career began in 1847,
when he was elected to the Prussian
House of Burgesses. In 1851 he was
appointed Prussian member of the
German Diet,and began his diplom
attic career. In SO he was sent as
minister to st. Petersburg, and in
'62 as Ambassador to Paris, but was
recalled to become Minister to For
eign Affairs for the Home Govern
ment. He was power in shaping
German affairs and was largely in
strumental in building his country
up into a powerful empire, When
William ii became ruler, in 1890,
Bismark was retired and has since
been living a quiet life on his large
estate.

HELP THE SUFFERING.

THE associate Red Cross of Pa. ap-
peals for aid in efforts to allay
the suffering which exists among the
Cubans. We have undertaken a
war for humanity's sake, and while
our brave soldiers are at the front
risking life and limb and undergoing
hardships and many of them Ian
gushing in sickness, and our sail
ors are likewise manfully bearing
burdens, it is only meet that those
who remain at home and enjoy
the comforts and luxuries of life
should make some sacrifice. This
need not be great but every one can
spare a little and every little will
help. 1t is a time for the manifes-
tation of whole heartedness and we
know the patriotic people of our own
state will not be slow to respond in
aid of the distress and pressing
needs of those men, women ant
children who are sick, starving, and
helpless. He gives twice who gives
quickly.

resolution of the Legislature. The
writ has been made returnable Sept
ember L.
The pamphlet Enemies and Dis.
eases of Poultry was originally pre-
pared by DR.. b II. Warren, late
State economic zoologist and author
of the famous birdbook, the reprint
ing which was turned down by Gov
renor Hastings, and DR.. Leonard
Pearson, State veterinary surgeon. 1t
was an inocent looking pamphlet of
Il hundred pages or more, and it
was very popular among the farm
ers, there being a great demand for
it. During the closing hours of the
last Legislature n resolution was
adopted calling for the printing of
l5,000extra copies of the phamphlet,
with all of the original matter and
such other matter as the authors
thought would throw more light on
the subject. This was approved
md the work placed in Mr.. Busch s
hands.
Last Spring, during Governor
Hastings absence ON the Pacific
slope, Private Secretary Beitler be-
came aware that instead of reprint
ing the original pamphlet there was
in course of publication a splendid
volume, magnificently illustrated
with colored plates and photograv-
ures, embracing the pictures of
birds that originally appeared in
Warren's bird book, and many
views of scenery along the different
streams of the Commonwealth, the
whole designed TO cost the State a
good deal of money. He consulted
superintendent of Public Printing
Robinson, who has since resigned,
and found that the story was true
Mr. Beitler at once placed the matter
in the hands of the Attorney Gener.

of Public Printing not to audit OF

latter carried out.
Mr.. Busch has rendered a bill n
$57, ,662. S5 for the work, and aver
in his affidavit that Superintendent
Jones has refused to audit, certify
and approve it, and he therefore
asks the court to compel him t.
take action. The case is one that
has attracted wide attention from

claim that he carries the other

pocket. 1t says if Lauer is nomina- =
ted he will go into the Conference
and fight out his claim the same as
Barber would do. The Record does
not feel that Barber would prove
any better vote getter than he did
before and thinks he should retire

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

~
Some time since we saw re-
mark of H., of Layton, regarding
the uselessness of giving money for
foreign missionary work. To him
and also to others of like mind we
offer the following extract written
by Fl. X. Carroll LII. D., who says
to those who doubt the value of
missions.
1 fear they are somewhat stub
born, like Thomas, and hard to con-
vince, for Christ is everywhere, and
everywhere he is working, changing
evil lives, quieting wild passions,
transforming wicked hearts, re-
straining from vice and crime, and
blessing society and the state with
noble, unselfish, and devoted lives.
He cannot be hid. Missions mani
fest him in dark and desperate
places, reforming manhood and
womanhood and molding childhood.
Missions went to race of canni-
balls in the South Seas and subdued
their ferocity, stopped their wars,
and taught them the arts, pursuits,
and customs of civilization. Is
that a service of no value?
Missions found a people in NADIA
gascar sunk in barbarism. 1t eleva-
ted them to a place among the hum
bier Christian nations of the earth,
opening a new market for articles
of commerce and introducing new
products to the markets of the
world Is that an achievement of
no moment?
Missions created among the con-
verts from the degraded tribes OF
Africa a desire for the ways and
necessaries of civilized life stirred
the Chinese from the intellectual
lethargy of centuries and made il
possible for modern ideas to begin Il
slow but mighty revolution helped
in the development of a wonderful
nation in japan, and undermined
the old PHILOSOPHERS and cruel caste
system of India. Are these contri
buttons to the progress and prosper,
| ity of the world without value
That grand old heathen philosopher
and statesman, Lii Hung Chang
gladly recognizes the beneficent re
suits of Christian missions in China
and says they minister not only t.
the soul, but also to the body anC
the mind.
1t the spreading of the Gospe
makes men purer, stronger, an(
better; if the education of the rae,
tends to elevate it if the healing o
disease is of service to mankind i
the increase of commerce and th,
decrease of bloody strife is a goot
thing if contributions to our know
ledge of geography, of language
customs, and characteristics of peo
pie, of climate, resources, and pro
ductions of countries are entitled t,
recognition, then the value of mis-
sions is beyond computation.
The Gospel is the greatest of civil
izing agencies. Whatit does abroat
it does at home. There is no com
munity that is not quieter, safer
and more prosperous with it thai
without it. Missions carry thi
blessed Gospel to destitute an,
dangerous places. They are NOR
effective than the police in the slums
better than the sheriff in the camp
and new settlements of rough men
They have been mighty infuenc
in the building of many of on
States, and if they were blotted out
there would need to Se more consta
bles, more courts, more prisons, an
more scaffolds. The value of mis-
sions to society and the State is to
great to be reckoned.-A PENNA
