Mr.. Fearnow's report was exception
tally good, bringing to the home work
ers the ideas from the State Conven-
ton in clear and forcible manner.
The banner, which at the Columbus
convention was presented to Washing
ton county for the greatest advance
in Sunday School work during 1897,
was displayed to US by our earnest and
energetic field secretary, Miss Flora
McLaren, and seemed an inspiration
to attempt even better things for the
coming year.
After the sumptuous dinner a col
lection was taken, which with the pro-
ceeds from the sales of ice cream, etc,
amounted to 500 The Sunday School
rally, from it's inception to it's sue
cesful conclusion, was due chiefly TO
our able President.

constrained so to do by the Spanish
custom laws, which gave Spanish
goods the preference. This advant-
age Spain will no longer possess, and
the trade will be shifted into our
hands. And the same state of things
will be true of Porto Rican trade.
To illustrates: Cuba has hitherto
spent about $3,OO0,0OO yearly in Spain
for boots and shoes, while we have
sold her hardly / per cent of this
amount. With the abolition of the
diflerental duties in Spain's favor, this
entire trade will come to us, for we
can undersell the world in boots and
shoes. Again, flour is selling today
in Santiago to about half its former
price under Spanish rule. This was
because the duty on all flour except
that imported from Spain was too
high for us to compete. Merchants
in Spain imported our -four and then
sent it to the West Indies, the hapless
purchasers there paying the freight"
1t is clear that we will have an
enormous extension of trade with
Cuba and Porto Rico as soon as peace
is made. More than this, the war it.
self LAS acted as stimulus to our in
dustries. 1t has led our manufactur-
ers and merchants to turn their atten-
tion to foreign trade 10 a much great
er extent than before. They begin to
realize that there is an enormous
trade which they can obtain if they
will take the trouble to seek it. The
wide discussion of colonial policy
for the United States, the vast amount
of information which has been printed
concerning the West Indies and the
island empires Of the Pacific have had
distinct educational value. Our
manufacturers and traders have had
their horizon enlarged. 1t is not too
much to say that we are at the begin
ming Of an era of trade development
that will enormously increase our for
eign market and maks us eventually
the supply depot Of the world.
All these things mean prosperity.
Our farmers already have good times,
and the extension of our trade will
mean more work for our manufactur-
ers and their employees, and a greater
measure of prosperity for the whole
nation.-.4 oledo Blade.

GOOD TIMES COMING.

Everybody expects speedy ending
eagerly looking for an era of good
times. There are no factors, political
or commercial, to inspire doubt, or to
cause taking in of sail. The indIca-
tions are all the other way.
The opening Of the Spanish West
Indies to our trade on equal terms
with the rest of the world will be one
factor of commercial prosperity. We
have been Cuba's best customer for
what she had to sell, but she bought
the bulk of her imports from Spain

NOBODY OBJECTS TO poRro RICO.

1t is a circumstance worth noting
that there is no protest against the ac-
QUESTION of Porto Rico. Nowhere is
a voice raised against the annexation
of that island. 1t is taken for granted
that in the settlement with Spain
Porto Rico will become American ter
ritory, and that we shall take posses
sion Of 1t, and proceed to administer
it's affairs perpetually in manner
which the best judgment of Congress
shall hereafter determine. We are
not aware that even the most violent
opponents of the general policy of ma
tional expansion are filing any OBJ
jections in the case of Porto Rico.
Yet every alleged constitutional diff
ficulty, every practical problem of ad-
ministration, every supposed danger
to our system and to the future of our
institutions that enters into the ques-
ton of the Philippines, applies like
wise to Porto Rico. The differences
are all of detail and of essential
circumstances, not of principle.
This is an encouraging evidence of
the rapid education of public senti-
ment by recent events. If the whole
country has already arrived at the
conclusion that we are able to under
take the ownership and management
of Porto Rico without going to pieces
as republic, or even straining our in
stitutions, universal and cheerful
acquiescence in the Philippine enter
prise is not far off.-New ork Sun.

SHORT AND TO THE POINT.

Mr.. Flanagan, who is famed alike
in song and story for his brief utter
ance on the report Of the train wreck,
has his counterpart in a gentleman OF
the Columbus, Hooking Valley and
Toledo, who on recent occasion got
the same calling down from the sup
erintendent as did Mr.. Flannigan for
his ability to string a short story out
into volume. He set his head on the
shorter report and read all the short
items in the papers to get in down to
fine art. There was a blow out
down his way the other day and the
Irish gentleman knew his time for a
practice in the art of condensation
was come. This is the way he re-
ported it: "No. ~ busted a fue.

WHERE ARE THEYp

oh, where are the people who told US
That the fight would be easy 10 win;
That the Dons would scoot right out OF
of Cuba
The day Uncle Sam started in;
That the war would be merely a picnic.
And would last but week-perhaps
two
That the Dons would get out if we
merely
Went down there and yelled at them
''Shoo!'
Oh, where are the members of Con-
gress
Who wept and who whooped on the
floor
Ger the woes of the destitute people
Who were starving at Uncle Sam's
door
Who said that the wrong could be
righted
By stroke of the pen, and who
knew
That the Dons would pack up and quit
Cuba
AS soon as they heard us cry "Shoo?'

The hero Bismarck will be praised
until the world ends. The Iron Chan
cellor has made himself immortal, and
his name and what he accomplished
stand engraved on the proudest leaves
of German history for ever and ever.
With blood and iron he reunited Ger
many and gained for the German peo-
pie the place among the nations of the
earth which it can rightfully claim.
That is what Bismarck has done, and
for this not only the present but all
coming German generations will ever
hold his memory sacred.

Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
like Lieutenant Hobson, belongs to
the new navy, and both have shown
the stuff of which it is made. While
the conduct of the war thus far has
been by the old commanders who be-
gun their fighting experience during
the civil war, it is the young blood
that has done the fighting. There
were no better soldiers in any of our
previous wars than the present war
with Spain has developed and brought
to light. The boys of 60 have no
fault to find with the mettle and the
courage shown by the boys of '9S.

an lrishman. He writes the preface to
one of the authors works at Cloumcl,
county Of Tiperary, ireland. According to
Polish priest. FIR. Barnabaz, of Balti-
more, Md, the translator OF "Quo Vadls"
has done his work successfully, but he
has failed to catch the spirit of the
author in the novels relating to Poland
which are almost untranslatabe into
English. Quo Vadis" deals with Chris
tianity In ancient Rome, and its merits
as a story can be Judged by COMPARE
son with other novels of the same class,
like "The Last Days of Pompeii," and

| We agree with the good Fathers of Har-

who go to the Carlisle school while it

their faith. No Catholic children are
safe in their faith or morals who enter
the portals of the bigoted establishment.
Instances are given in the Catholic In

on the discipline and training in the Car

is being made of the Lincoln institution
in Philadelphia, which receives an ap-
preparation of some $50 900 annually, nor

THE CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL

We are in receipt of a small monthly
publication In the Indian language, which
is issued by the FRANCISCAN Fathers from
their Indian school at Harbor Springs,
Mich. In the interests Of the Ottawa,
Chippewa and kindred tribes of the alb
state. Accompanying the paper is de-
tached supplement in English, in which
the editor severely Criticises Captain
Pratt. superintendent Of the Indian
school at Carlisle Pa, a so-called mon
tartan" institution receiving an annual
appropriation Of some $4,000 from the
government for the education Of Indian
youths. We have occasionally read clip
pings from the Red Man" published by
Capt Pratt at the Carlisle school and
found them to be of an anti Catholic
nature. The type is set by Indian boys
and the paper Is read by the pupils Of the
institution. One would suppose that moth
Ing offensive to any religious denomina-
ton would find space in its pages, but
such Is not the fact. 1t seems to be en-
ployed by Capt. Pratt for the defama-
ton Of the Catholic church and it's mis-
sionarics among the Indians AS the
editor of the "Anishinabe Enamiad"
says, for the last eighteen years he has
strained every nerve in the effort to vii
ify the Catholic missionaries and the
devoted sisters, and to cast ridicule up
on the faith Of the Catholic pupils" To
show that Capt. Pratt is bigot Of the
first water. the following paragraph from
the Red Man" is given:
Are you convivially inclined and do
you want to have real jolly bacchanal-
ian time? Go to the Catholic Indian
Schools, managed by priests or Jesuits,
and you will find in them boon compan-
ionship. They will have the place and

hibitory laws against the introduction
