TEXT: ''All that a man hath will he give
for his life. job. H., 4.
THAT is untrue. The Lord did not say
it, but Satan said it to the Lord when the
evil one wanted Job still more afflicted.
The record is: so went Satan forth from
the presence of the Lord, and smote Job
with sore bOils.' And Satan has been the
author Of all eruptive disease since then,
and he hopes by poisoning the blood to
poison the soul. But the result of the dia-
bOlical experiment which left Job victor
proved the falsity of the Satanic remark:
All that man hath will he give for his
life. Many captain who has stood on the
bridge of the steamer till his passengers
got Off and he drowned; many an engineer
who has kept his hand on the throttle
valve, or his foot on the brake, until the
most of the train was saved, while he went
down to death through the open draw
bridge; many fireman who plunged into
blazing house to get sleeping child out,
the fireman sacrificing his life in the at
tempt, and the thousand of martyrs who
submitted to fiery stake and knife of mas
sacre and headman's NIX and guillottne
rather than surrender principle. proving
that in many ease my text was not true
when it says, All that man hath will he
give for his life
"But Satan's falsehood was built on
truth. Life is very precious, and ii we
would not give up all there are many
things we would surrender rather than
surrender it. We see now precious life Is

BlSMARCK'S WAY AS ORATOR.
He Was Not Eloquent, but His Great Per
sonality Was Potent.

&C. Dewey in the Yale Alumni Weekly. J
Yet it seems as if but yesterday when
last I saw him in the heyday of his glory,
as Germany's idol, holding Parliament
spellbound and the nation fairly hanging
on his lips. In the old Reichstag build
ing on Leipziger Strasse I have often
listened to his harangues, for Bismarck
never was an orator like Conkling or
Blaine But though he made no pre-
tensions to being speaker, he was such
in reality, as is shown by the tact that
important occasions he held the floor for
several hours at a time. I recall that on
one occasion, some years ago, he held the
floor for l 3-4 hours.
1t was most interesting to observe Bis
marck when making one of his great
speeches than to listen to him. His words
were far stronger and made much more
of an impression III cold type than when
they fell from his lips. This shows their
inherent force and weight. His delivery
was slow; he always used the exact word,
and his facts were marshaled in clear
and lucid order. When he first rose to
speak great silence used to fall upon
the Reichstag; not even a whisper was

All the reports that coma from Chicka-
manga are of the same tenor, and they all
point to an alarming amount of sickness
among the troops and singular inefiicie n
CIV of hospital service. Upon somebody
rests a good deal of blame for the stats of
affairs, though who the responsible party
is would probably be difficult to find out,
Typhoid fever which is doing large part
of tho mischief at Chickamauga Is pre-
ventable d sease. 1t is communicated only
through food or drink. 1t isn't in the
air as some diseases seem to be. 1t has
had it's origin at Chickamauga in all
probability in bad water supply, and
until that defect is remedied it is not
likely to be checked. = Troops on the march
are necessarily exposed to great many
dangers. They have to drink such water
as they can get, they are necessarily ex-
posed to all kinds of weather, and there Is
little opportunity for sanitary precau-
tons. But troops in permanent camp
in the midst of q populous country, with
free communication by railroad ought to
be able to get good water and good food,
when they are well, and prompt assis.
tance and proper remedies when they are
sick. There is no good excuse for such a
state of things as is said to exist at

The war with Spain is over, but the
whipping of Spain is a small matter,
we imagine, alongside of some of the
problems that are the legacies of the war.
We have liberated Cuba from Spanish
rule, and have thus completed part of
our undertaking, but tie most perplexing
part, tia establishment of a stable gov
ernment-for to save the country from
anarchy was quite as much our purpose,
as to rescue it from the Spaniards-is yet
to be performed. We hope we shall be
able to perform it without bloodshed
But it will cause no great surprise if we
have to use some physical force before
we succeed in this part of our undertake
ing. We can leave the Philippines, con-
corning which we have promised nothing
and to whose inhabitants We are under
no obligations, to take care of themselves
if we will, but Cuba we cannot troat in
that way without violating our promises
to the world, and consigning ourselves to
the category of hypocrites We told the
world that we went to war to stop murder
and pillage at our doors, to cure a con-
dition that had become intolerable. We
must stop then, and cure this condition
or else confess to false pretence or i'm
potence. One step we have taken, in
driving out the Spaniards, but we are I'M

or suppress any other class that puts OBJ

government as the Spaniards. We are not
the agents of Garcia and Gomez or the
allie ged Cuban republic we are under no
obligation to assist them in setting up
government. We are the agents of the
majority of the people of Cuba and it is
their wishes and not the wishes of any
faction that we are bound to consult.
There is'a strong probability that our
first trouble in discharging the second
part of the obligation which We assumed
failure of the insurgents to get from us
the recognition they want. Il is greatly to
be feared that in spite of the
refusal Of our government to give
them official recognition, the insurgents,

they find that they are not to step into
the places vacated by the Spaniards they
may assume toward US an attitude not
substantially different from that which
they have maintained toward the Span
iards. If this should prove the case we
may have to do some more fighting be-
fore stable government can be set up
But even If the insurgents accept the
situation we have a troublesome problem
before us. The new government must be
created under our auspices, and yet with
out our interference, except SO far as may
be necessary to give the people a fair
chance to express their wishes. and
great many perplexing questions are sure
to arise in this connection which will tax
our best craftsmanship to settle wisely.

A REMARKABLE WAR.

While the war has been one of the short
est OF record, 1t will be classed as the
most remarkable in history. The Ameri-
cans did not lose single battle on sea or
land; not one American ship was seri-
ously damaged; the American forces cap
tured strongholds where superior force
were entrenched, and inflicted greater
loss than they sustained; the naval
power of Spain was annihilated, whereas
not one American city or fort was bonn.
barded; the Spanish forces were mostly
veterans, while those of the United States
were largely volunteer, and finally, the
Spaniards were better armed and equipped
than the Americans. These are only a
few of the interesting features of the war
which will be talked of and written about
for many day.-Montreal Star.
