1t may be that We owe England good
will for stopping the Kaiser from visiting
dilatory Spanish representatives at Paris.
While it could make no difference in our
demand and in our taking of the Philip
pines, the change of the Kaiser's plan
may have saved us from the unpleasant
need of spanking the Dons.

A good many thousands of people who
went to New Haven on Saturday were far
more excited over the football game be-
tween Harvard and Yale than they were
over the Spanish war or the recent cleo

some people more enthusiastic than Dew
ey's victory at Manila or Schley's at San
tiago.

The New Hampshire legislature will
elect a successor to Senator William E
Chandler next year. There are signs that
Mr. Chandler Will have to put up stiff
fight to obtain reelection. Representa-
tive Cyrus Adams Sulloway, who is
member of the Republican national COM
mittee and the tallest member of the New
England delegation In Congress. has al
ready announced himself as a candidate
for Mr.. Chambers shoes. He will, it is
said. have the secret backing of the Me
Kinley Administration. Mr. Chandler has
been a sharp critic of Jne President and
his Administration, and he has made
some particularly caustic comments on
Senator Marcus a Hanna and his use of
money. in politics. In fact. the senior
New Hampshire senator has, over his own
signature charged Mr.. Hanna with cor
rupt practices. Senator Chandler and mis-
colleague, Senator GalHnger, have long
been bitter enemies, but a year ago they
patched up a sort of treaty of peace.
Chandler did not oppose GalIingers re-
election, and the inference was that the
latter would extend the same courtesy To
Chandler when his turn came aHund.
However. IL Mr.. Chandlers reelection de-
pends upon Senator Gallinger the chances
are that he will be retired to private life.
Chambers friends are confident of MS
ability to hold mis- own against all possi-
Bile combinations that can be formed
against him. Senator Chandler has been
actively engaged in politics for o-er forty
years. He was one of the central figures
in the famous conspiracy of 1876, which
resulted in the seating of Rutherford 3.
Hayes in the place to which Samuel J.
Tilden had been elected. There are very

There appears to be something O

There appears to be something out of
gear, in the prosecution of this war, so
far. Whether it is incompetency, want
of patriotism, Indifference or selfish
ness, we are not prepared to say. De-
cisive action in the Cuban matter was
postponed for three months, on the
plea of getting ready. War has been
declared and desultory fighting going
on for sixty days. And private advices
from the three military camps, Tampa
Chickamauga and Alger, are to the ef-
feet that the men are not yet properly
equipped for a forward movement. Par
ty fealty in case of war, is not patrio-
tism. Striving for party advantage, to
the detriment of the country at large,
is reprehensible in times of peace
when foreign war is going on it is in
excusahle, and smacks somewhat of
treason.

EXCUSES.
SERMON By NORMAN HOWARD BARTLETT.

''And they all with one consent began to
make excuse" St. Luke I4th chapter,
18th verse.
Surrounded and closely watched by
subtle and incredulous group of Phar-
isees, our blessed Lord is sitting at meat
in the house of one of their number. 1t
is the Sabbath day. Already He has
wrought miracle aud put forth par
able, and now He again speaks: eA GER
tain man made a great supper, and bade
many: and sent his servant at supper,
time to say to them that were bidden
come, for all things are now ready, and
they all one consent began to make
excuse"
This certain man" represents God J
the supper" represents salvation; we
are the ones that are invited, and some
Of US have been making excuses.
Ask the habitual absentee why be does
not attend the house of God and par
take of the great feast of salvation and,
invariably he will meet the question
with an excuse. With persuasive vul-
vinism be will plead fatigue, that his
clothing is not suitable, or, peradven-
ture, that he is not good enough. Time
will not permit US to discuss the va
rious excuses which are artfully sug-
gested to the willing heart and ready
waiting tongue. On their face they
have the imprint of shallowness. There
are those, however, who think seriously
of their souls salvation, who truly de-
sire to turn to Christ. But they have
conceived an erroneous idea as to the
demands made upon the followers of
Christ, and say they have not the time.
They know they should attend to their
souls welfare, and hope to have suf1-
cient leisure by and by. But at present
they are too busy.
When do you think you will have
more time? Gould you not have given
the same answer to the question five
years ago? Is it not likely that you will
be just as busy five years hence-if you
are living? Think you that old age will
bring more time to your disposal? Have
you not seen persons with hoary head
and tottering step, with one foot in the
grave and the other ready to follow,
without one serious thought of the
world to come? They had been brought
up under ordinary religious influences.
Probably there have been times when
they thought seriously Of giving them
selves to Christ; but like you they put
it off--of until more convenient sea-
son. And when the convenient season
What guarantee have you that you will
not come to the same sad condition?
You think it will be easier to turn to
God when you are olderl It will be more
difficult The heart will be harder; the
bad habits will be more firmly rooted
and, if you should desire to be saved,
satan will harrass you with doubts. The
thought that it will be easier is but
delusion of the devil.
Or, do you think that you will resist
the overtures OF mercy until you are on
your death bed? Granting that you
will have lingering death. how do you
know that you will be in possession Of
your reason? Fever may make you de-
lirious and thus. you may die. But even
should you remain in possession of your
mental faculties until the last, do you
think that the sick bed is good place
on which to repent? Pulse up to an
hundred; head splitting; mouth parch
ed; fever coursing through your veins

The volunteers are to receive the fol-
lowing pay during the present war:
First sergeant, $50 month; other SER
geants, $2l.60; corporals, $l8; privates,
$3.50 each. The men are supplied with
uniforms and all other necessary cloth
ing, and are we'll fed. In addition they
receive medical attention free of charge
and when sick there is no loss of pay.
If disabled while in the service the men
are entitled to pensions. The increase
of pay of the soldiers under the new

Wheeler would be major generals of

saw the boys in blue, and mine among

but when l saw at the head of the

then my heart Durst and the tears
flowed from my eyes. Whatever else
beside, this war will settle the solid
