Ex-President Cleveland in an ad-
dress at the graduating exercises of
Lawrenceville School, near Princeton,
n. j., said that the threatened adop-
ton of an imperial policy of expan-
SION, conquest and foreign war was
great danger to the safety and princi-
ples of true American citizenship, as
he understood them, and a complete
departure from the mission of this
country.

friend is evidently at last bound for
the front, for if his own statement is
not enough there is corrOborative evil

squad of recruits had been enlisted in
that place for the First Regiment, and
gave among others the names of ]. L..

The BaDtist Visitor has this DOinted

The Baptist Visitor has this pointed
paragraph: "a new way has been re
vealed by which to be non-partisan in
our troubles in Texas over the mission
work, and that is, not to give a cent
nor help TO raise anything for the mis-
sion work. One of this mind may
think seriously that it is non-partisan,
but we think it is the most serious
kind of partlsanshlp. It is that kind
of partlsanship that hurts, and if en-
gagged in generally the cause OF mis-
slons would go to the owls and bats
and we would have no more of it,"
This may be entirely new to the
Texas Baptists, but 1t has been prac.
tical experience for many years in
North Carolina The "Omissionary
Baptists" of our State are usually il
the majority. Oh Tor the dawn of {
day when counting numbers vii

Cause!

The following from a recent writer
gives a painful insight into what Ro-
manism does for a people: 1.-THE
Philippines show the legitimate fruits
of Romanism. The Roman church is
supreme. She has taught the natives
to tell their beads, but has taught
them nothing else. In the long CEN
turtles of her undisputed possession she
has never attempted to give the peo-
pie any schools. She has taken mil
lions from the people by the most out
rageous taxation, but has never paid a
dollar OF it to a school-teacher for their
instruction"

more especially of the Cough Remedy
In two years have sold more OF this
particular remedy than of all other
makes for the previous five years. As
to Its efficacy, have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results
they have received from it, and know
its value from the use of it In my own

Favorlte Of the Regiment.

Youths Companion.
A Colonel in a Southern camp over
heard an excited soldier venting his
rage in furious profanity. The man,
red-faced and big of muscle, had been
local bully and lawbreaker, and when
the war broke out he was given his
choice to enlist in the army or serve
term in Jail.
The colonel was about to give an Or
der to suit his case, when the big fel-
lows arm was touched by a comrade,
and a low voice said:
"Please don't talk like that"
Wheeling round with another half
uttered oath, he saw a red-cheeked boy
looking into his face.
II beg your pardon, Little Plety,"
he said. II didn't know you was here, .
and he walked away, apparently more
ashamed than If an officer had silenced
him.
The short but influential life of this
lad-"Little Piety"-in the army was
told generation ago, among the other
pathetic stories of the War of 81.
The fair, delicate youth, bantered
and pestered at first by his fellow
privates, became the favorite of his
regiment by his brave goodness and
his amiable ways. In bis character re-
ligion was something more than an ad-
jective, and the nickname the men
gave him in jest remained as his badge
of respect and affection.
At a reunion OF this regiment, not
long since, the colonel, In his address
to his few surviving comrades, recalled
many vanished names of the old mus
ter-roll, and said at last, II wonder il
you are thinking OF the one member
who was nearest to all hearts"
1--WE know who you mean," the men
answered. 1--WE shall never forget
Little Plety."
The colonel repeated the tale, old
but always welcome, of their first field
engagement, where the slender young
soldier, detailed on rear duty, begged
to be sent to the. front with the boys,
and obtained a reluctant consent; o.
the terrible battle and the after-scene
of human waste and death, "the sad
ness OF which no life IS long enough
to outgrow."
On the slope Of steep ridge skirtin&
one side of field lay row of dead anc
dying men moved down in the rush O

The line. with his white, girlish fact
turned up to the sky, we found Little
Piety.
The boys would net bury him In the
battle trench, but made and marked
his grave under the liva-oak by itself
and sung over it the tune he loved:
| Must Jesus bear the cross alone
"Several years later l was far from
home, staying at city hotel, and ont
day I had a caller-a large, well-dresset
and handsome business man, VIII
