FOREIGN MISSIONS.

A Pennsylvania Reader" quotes H. X.
Carroll L L. d. to prove to me and others
that foreign missions are Of great value
don't know who II. K Carroll is, amp
whether / should consider his utterances as
authority or not. Judged from the fact
that he claims much that is not in sight,
l should set him down as q d. ID. and there
fore possibly from self interest strongly in
favor of the maintenance and extension Of
what am pleased to call ''the foreign mis-
sionary fake' I saw yrs ago in Christian
newspaper that during a convention of
ministers IN one Of our great eastern cities,
the question of foreign missions came up,
in the course of which one Rev. present ed
as reason why he favored the using of the
missionary fund only in our own land,
the claim that but 1Sq6 Of the foseign mis-
sionary fund ever reached the heather for
whom it was collected, and presented sta
tistics to the convention provin g his claim.
There WAS an outcry against the state
ment, but no effort was made to disprove
it. A committee to investigate was or
dered and If it ever reported where the
leakage occurred, 1, for one, have never
heard of it. Penna. Reader claims
much as theeffect OF foreign missions, or
at least Mr.. Carroll does, which has un-
doubtedly been wrought out largely by
other influences, and which would have
been brought about if there had never
been a foesigu mission. AS clvilizing
agencies be totally igno es commerce, tina
public schools and the courts IquestioE
also II "the mission is more effective than
the police in the slums." In fact the
Bible upon which all mission work claims
to be founded would not to-day stand an
instant as a complete guide to human
conduct, and the perpetuity Of what Is
known as civilized government. That
people who would make it the literal and
sole guide of their lives would be nation
Of socialists; under it the laws of the en-
tire civilized earth would have to be en-
tlrely remodeled, and the inevitable result
would be long, long step toward barbar
ism do not ask you TO ooncede all this
yet II you will endeavor to be an unbiased
: student of history and the Bible, theI
giving me time and space think l caI
convince you that these are facts, and /
facts, then why should l not be oppose'
to what believe may rightly be entitlel
the Foreign Missionary Swindle."

OUR WAR LOSSES.

According to estimate the Navy
has lost, killed officer and 1s men,
wounded 8 officers and 30 men.
The army has lost, killed 20 off,
GERS and 231 men. wounded 81 off,
GERS and 1916 men.
Total American loss "a officers and
249 men killed ; 90 officers and 1856
men wounded.
A safe estimate says the total
Spanish loss is probably over 1900
dead.

PEACE WITH SPAIN.

BY the signing of the protocol
and proclamation of the President
hostilities between the two nations
ceased, and the Commission to be
appointed will determine the details
and disposition of the Philippine
Islands. There seems to be a gen
eral opinion that the town of Manila
and bay is all that the United States
need claim. The uncivilized popu-
lation of the islands would require
too large standing army to KEEP
in order, and it is not likely that in
generations the character of the in
habitants could be changed or that
a sufficiently large proportion OF
foreigners would settle there to con-
troll the affairs. More or less tur-
moil will prevail, and the attempt
to suppress it woul d not be warran-
ted by any corresponding gain,
either in commerce or civilization
In time missionary efforts and the
ameliorating influences of more di-
rect contact with civilized people
will wear away the rough edge OF
barbarism, and the natives may be-
come fitted for a more enlightened
form of government, but to attempt
at this time to bring them under
any such conditions would be at
tended with insuperable difficulties
and would in the end amount to q
practical depopulation. OF this we
have perhaps a most striking ex-
ample at home in the management
and control of our Indian wards
and it would seem like folly to at.
tempt such an experiment at SC
great a distance from our own
shores.

PIGS AND PIG PENS.

The Board of Health at a recent
meeting resolved that inasmuch as
many were now maintaining pig
pens without permits, and some
while clean were not as to location
and construction in accordance
with the ordinance, no interference
would now be made with the own
ers of pigs and pens, provided same
were kept clean, until the present
stock of pigs is disposed of and until
Jan. 1, 1899, but after that date the
Borough ordinance will be rigidly
enforced. This is fair notice and
will work no hardship, but it is also
intended that no advantage must be
taken of the present truce, nor will
any grace be given after the time
limit. So many complaints have
been received by the Board, and SO
many unpleasant consequences arise
from keeping pigs within the Bor-
ough limits, even though the pigs
are kept clean, that it becomes a
public necessity to enfore the ordi-
nance in future, and no one wishing
prosperity, health and ccmfort fol
the community can object.

THE FIRST KICK
A meeting of the California Miners
association was called in the Marble
protest against the position assigned to
the miners in the jubilee parade to-
morrow.
The grand marshal had placed the
miners in the eleventh division, just in
front of the Chinese, and when President
Neff of the Miners association heard of
it he had an elaborate set of resolutions
drawn up and issued a call for an in
dignation meeting. The matter was
remedied this morning, however, and
the miners were assigned to the third
division behind the pioneers, the health
department being placed in the position
originally assigned to the miners. When
this was explained it was decided to take
no action but to aid in making the cele-
bration success.
President Neff received a telegram
from Harold T. Power at Auburn an
nouncing that a large delegation of
miners from Flacer county would ar
rive on the overland train tonight and
he appointed a committee of two, con-
sisting Of George Mainhart and Frank
Page, to meet the delegation upon it's
arrival.
A representative from Siskiyou county
announced that his county would be
represented by delegation Of so miners,
many of whom were accompanied by
their wives and sweethearts
Tom T. Lane will be marshal of the
miners, who will be preceded in the pa
rade by the miners band Of Calaveras.
A large meeting Of Native Daughters
was held this afternoon in Sierra hall,
for the purpose of perfecting every de-
tail of their plans for the parade. They
promise that their division will be one
of the most attractive in the process
sion.
