Weyler'S Organ Says"AmericanS Have
Becom Our Lords ans Masters
Madrid, Feb. 11.-SenCS oagasta, the
premier, and other members of the
cabinet state publicly that the De
LONE incident will not affect the rela-
lions between Spain and the United
States, and that a new envoy compe-
tent to conduct the commercial nego-
tiations, will be selected.
Ell Epocha says: Sem De Lome's
resignation having been accepted, the
international question disappears.
Nevertheless the Cuban insurgents
have succeeded in chasing from Wash
ington a representative of Spain who
has always displayed great zeal to pre-
vent hibustering expeditions, but they
a done so by tricks only employed
by the clients of penitentiaries."
Correspondence Militaru says: THE
government should not lave accepted
Senior De Lome's resignation. The
American attitude is offensive and hui
initiating to Spain"
Ell Correo Espanola, the Carlist or
gan. says: I'VE are at the beginning
of the end of our respect for the United
States"
La Nacional, the Weylerist organ, re-
proaches the government for yielding
to the exigencies of Washington, and
adds: THE Americans have become
our lords and masters"

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, MO-,
writes: "For six years 1 have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection oil
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. c,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before l had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now il is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had 1 only used your SIS. long ago,
/ would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

and was cured by use of two bottles. For
past three years has been attending to business

Tho installation of Rev A. B. Prichard
as pastor of the First Presbyterian congre-

Emmanuel Presbyterian church. announced
his text, from John viii, 3. and Thes. II. 10:

shall make ye free; Men rejected truth
because they did not love It," The speaker
treated his subject in two divisions. know

spoke of the attacks on orthodoxy by the

the church is not ON the defensive concern

Is all along the line, and the church must
be comprehensive in its defense
There never was time when people
were seeking to know as much as now.
when scholarship was so far in advance as
today. This ambition is extending to wo-
men, as instanced by their numerous clubs.
The church needs more scholarship to give
it equipoise. 1t overestimates the enemy S
strength and errs in Its fears of liberalism.
Pessimists, agnostics and liberals are al
ways knocking each other down and fight
ing each other continually, as is seen by
the differences of opinion expressed by
Spencer, Huxley, Harrison and others.
And yet timid church people are going
around, crying that the liberals have 1t all
their own way. We will be free from care
when we continue In the way of our Master.
The church makes a mistake in dilutins
the Gospel teachings until good people run
after all kinds of fads, and in not giving
heather religions credit for what is in
them. In all heather system there is some
truth, and God will bring all to himself
Purity, love and sacrifice and devotion tc

way of success for the church.

vanced classes under such unfavorable
conditions could not but be unsatisfactory
to the teachers, to the patrons OF the
schools and to the pupils. 1t would offer
the shadow of secondary education with
out its substance.
The amendment would, If adopted. work
serious injury to existing schools. IN that
1t would crowd the grammar schools with
classes properly belonging to high schools,
thereby absorbing time and attention
which are due to the regular grammar
school classes; and would. moreover.
greatly injure the regular high schools. by
bringing them into competition with
schools which have the false appearance
of doing high school work at less expense
to the communities concerned.
We are in hearty accord with the effort
to make secondary education accessible to
all the children of the state as Is now the
case in Massachusetts,; but we believe this
end can as surely be reached by more di-
rect means. To call high schools grammar
schools will give us schools which are
neither good high schools nor good gram
mar schools; and will greatly retard the
movement toward good schools Of all
grades
Finally, the wording Of the proposed
amendment is so ambiguous that 1t seems
impossible to forecast Its effects In the
matter of local taxation for educational
purposes We believe 1t would prove a
source Of much litigation. and we are per-
suaded that the resulting uncertainty
would work more harm to our educational
system.
