Legislation for the Veterans.

Hearings were given recently at Albany,
NJ Y, by the Committee on Taxation and
Reform, upon Senator Sheppard'S bill,
which amends Chapter 800 of the State
Laws of 1896, so as to allow the trustees of
the Soldiers Home at Bath to control the
LIQUOR traffic at that institution allowing
sales under their direction and within such
rules and restrictions as they may pre-
scribe at the post canteen" and prevent
ing sales by outside parties to inmates of
the institution when known or in the dis
tinctive uniform OF the Home. Gen
Daniel E. Sickles, a member of the Board
of Trustees, made "a powerful and con-
vincing argument for the BILL opening by
saving that there was but one question at
issue; viz, whether the financial interests
OF the liquor dealers of Bath should be
preferred to the interests of the Home and
it's inmates. He explained how the bill of
1896, which is sought to be amended al
though intended To remedy the evils,
through unfortunate wording had left the
trustees and other authorities pOwerless to
protect the institution from the nuisance
which for years past, had been growing and
crowding upon them until they now had a
dozen or more saloons, composing street
by themselves, adjacent to the grounds
saloons which seldom, if ever furnish a
drink to anybody except the inmates of the
Home; that great damage had been done to
the institution and its inmates by this
nuisance.
At an adjourned hearing Gen. King and
Capt. Schoonmaker, Trustees of the Sol
diers' Home, appeared before the Commit
tee. Their statements Endorsed and
strengthened those previously made. Gen
King explained that provision was made at
the institution for rations of spirits for
those whose health required it, and recon-
mended that the provision as to the sale
OF ale and beer only, as appearing in the
original bill submitted by Senator Shep-
pard, be adopted
The Committee promptly reported the
bill favOrably, amending it to make the
limit three miles instead of two, as pro-
posed.

death of Department Inspector Lillian
Palmer, wife of DIR. Darwin S. Palmer,

The expenses Of the war up to date
are estimated at $3.50, 100000 for the
ia days ending with the signing Of
the protocol. The appropriations
made on estimates ending with Jan.
/, 1899, amount to $3.50, 900, 600. We
shall probably not spend all Of this,
but there will still be expenses Tor
troops in camp and garrison until the
peace treaty shall be concluded, and
there will be pensions for the disabled
and for the families of the dead. But
whatever the war has cost US, it has
been worth it, and much more. We
have settled a troublesome question
which had vexed and menaced us for
eighty years. We have gained much
valuable and priceless knowledge Of
our strength and of our weakness.
And we have Porto Rico and an island
in the Ladrones, and shall at least re-
tain naval station and commercial
port in the Philippines.

furnished experiences for the grand
work which is to be accomplished.
We are told that one of the greatest
sources of steength the old Roman
empire possessed was derived from its
magnificent public roads, many Of
which are as we'll preserved to-day
almost as they were in the days Of the
Caesars, and at the present time Eu-
ropean travellers tell us that Germany
is indebted to her public roads more
than to anything else for much Of the
stability which belongs to her to-day.
All this being true, we urge upon
the attention Of the people the impor-
tance Of pondering we'll the question
pertaining to public roads. There can
be no mistake as to the benefits to be
derived from this question wisely
handled. The work has been properly
begun +; will it be properly continued?

Woman's Missionary Conference.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Woman's Missiona-
ry Conference of Greenville District, M.
E.. Church. South, held its annual session
at Westminster from August 12 through
the 14th.
On Friday evening the opening service
was begun with the soul stirring hymn.
GAIL hail the power Of Jesus name,"
after which the pastor of the Church,
Rev. r. r. Dagnall, read part of the 18th
chapter OF st. Mark together with the End
Psalm. Having invoked Gods blessing
upon the meeting, without which every
word spoken-every object to be attained
would be lost-he introduced the Secre-
taty of the District, Mrs. M. H. Good.
gion.
An address of welcome was delivered
by a member of the Westminster Mis-
sionary Society, who received an appro-
pirate response.
Mrs. E. S. Herbert, Vice-President of
the South Carolina Conference Society,
in her usually easy manner, told US in
words few and interesting, the story of
woman's work during the twenty yea rs
OF the organization Of woman into mis-
sionary society how the work in our
own State began with only forty, but now
counts its members by the thousands.
a few suggestions offered and the con-
gregation dispersed, feeling amply repaid
for having attended this first service.
After the devotional services Saturday
morning, committees were appointed,
aud agents for the JVoma',s Adcocote,
Little Worker and The Evamgel. Miss
jamie Gray, Secretary OF the meeting.
called the roll, to which goodly num-
Der responded; minutes Of the evening
session read and approved. Mrs. Good
gion then told US of the work done in the
District during the past year of facts
which served to encourage us-and yet
how little we have done after all 4! 1t Is
ever beuediction to have present at these
meetings our beloved Mrs. Herbert. She
surprised us by asking, "What is needed
most in this work, my sisters ?" OF
course we say, without thinking, more
money-but no; not so much money as
more of the spirit of God. more power
chat we need. Several reports were call
ed for, followee by the reading of an
interesting article on our Training
School one, a historical sketch Of the
lives OF some of our missionaries and on
other subjects The devotional service Of
the afternoon session was conducted by
the pastor of the Church. After the read
ing of the minutes, juvenile work was
taken up. Miss Estelle Anderson then
read an interesting piece on Kores, touch
ing the manners, customs, etc., OF that
country; also mentioning the way in
which the Hermit Kingdom" was first
opeued to missionaries.
Sunday morning love feast. then
talk to the children concerning their
work, followed by sermon from Luke
24:4a. It would be an impossible task
for any one to undertake description of
this sermon. We may safely say, how
ever, that had the meeting consisted of
no other program save the sermons of
Sunday morning and evening by Rev:
w. A. Rogers, of Greenville, 1t were
well worth attending.

There is small war cloud lowering
over Europe, and it is probable that
the boom of cannon may be heard
there at no distant date. The rela-
tions between Great Britain and Rus
sia are strained. The empire Of China
is the cause Of the disturbance. and
within the next few years it will be
dismembered and parceled out among
the European nations. Russia and
England appear to be absolutely un-
able to agree upon an equitable di-
vision. If this war comes it will be
one of great length and Of terrible
consequences to Europe. All the
European nations will be more or less
engaged in it, and if the United States
doesn't steer clear Of possessions in
the Philippines, they may get into
the conflict also. But from the stand
point of business .alone, the United
States would be a winner. We feed
the world, and in great European
war the profits of the farmers would
be enormous. We clothe the world

their uttermost to keep pace with the

Mr.. EDITOR: Please publish in your

The st. Louis Republic correctly
remarks that the Democratic party has
been the constructive power in the
century which opened with JeAerson's s
first term. It's Jeffersonian schooling
enables it to see now that the new
questions are those of trade expan-
sion; hence it takes up vigorously the
Nicaragua Canal and an enlarged navy,
realizing that the whole system to be
arranged is part Of the Democratic
policy of unshackled trade and we'll
