MOODY AND THE WAR

In recent letter to the Rams Horn,
Mr.. Moody makcs the following III
tercsti;lg Statements: "Thc war with
Spain affords the best opportunity
have ever seen for presenting the
gospel to the young men of our ma
tion. According to the secular press
there are between eighty and hum
dred thousand young men now as
sembled il camps representative of
the ability of the coming generation.
Many of these soldiers never could be
reached by their ministers and there
are many whose home surroundings
were never Christian. Now in camp
life, bcset BY strong temptations aud
made thou ghtful by the seriousness
OF their surroundings, they may be
reached as never before"
lie further recites the tact that
General O 0. Howard aud Major
Whittle ab everywhere being re-
ceived in camp with great cordiality,
and great fesults arc flowing from
their effortl
The lettct also states that many
have applied for like service in camp
and that tbcfc is demand for many
more, but tint funds are not at hand
to send them The letter closes with
an appeal to he churches and kind
red organizat pms to send funds to
East Northfiep, Mass, for the above
purpose. CcE Eainly the cause is a
worthy one. The active interest of
the churches III push an opportunity
Of religious Xtention which may
never again bapresented.-Ex.

The Republicans made gains in
nearly every county in Oregon in las t
weeks election as compared with the
vote for President in 1896. A circuln-
stance of this sort is so rare that when
it occurs i: deserves CONSPICUOUS NELL
ton. a party's majority in presi-
dental year in state which il usually
carries is generally higher than any
which it gains in the Immediately
succeeding state elections. In Ore
gon, however, the Republican margin
Of 1896 for President is far exceeded
by that of 1898 for Governor. The
plurality now, in fact, is nearly four
times as great as it was then. This
shows that the Republican party is
stronger in the West than it was in
the great Republican year in which
Mckinley was elected. The canvas
ses in the rest of the country later in
the year will probably show that the
publican gain is general.

The fact that the income tax
amendment to the war revenue bill
had majority OF only three against
it in the Senate shows that silvcrism
and greenbackism are not the only
sort of foIlies which have a strong
support in that chamber. The in
come tax rider on the Wilson tariff
act of 1894 was declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court, ana
the tax would have an even shorter
career now than it had then If 1t
should be passed. but nearly half the
Senators tried to enact 1t notwlth-
standing. OF course this provision
would have no chance of acceptance
in the House, and it would merely
delay the revenue bill, but the Sen
ate's Bourbons aud Obstructionists DO
not care for the delay and emosrrass-
ment to the government which this
would cause.

CLOSING n ON SANTIAGO.
