If the International Association had
done no more than that it would have
accomplished glorious work.
The speaker urged his hearers to
attend the State Sunday School Con-
yention to be held in Clarksburg in
April, and he warmly eulogized sew
eral workers of national reputation
who will attend the convention.
In concluding Prof Hamill asked
what the International Sunday School
Association has done, is doing; and
he submitted five answers, charging
upon each. He said the Association
has magnified the Sunday school idea;
it has multiplied the number Of Sun
day schools; it has created an era OF
helps; it has popularized Bible study;
it is aiming to leave sunday school
work in better condition than it
found it,

THE SrRGEONS FRAMED.

A dispatch from Richmond says
Well-known members of the Fourth
Virginia regiment at home on furlough
confirm the reports Of the neglect OF
the men by the surgeons of the Fourth
regiment.
Mr.. A. H. Sands, who recently re.
ceived az honorable discharge, aud,
therefore, was not afraid to talk as the
men still in the service were, says ;
st was the general talk about the
camp OF the regiment that the surgeons
were not suited to their positions, and
tie complaints among the men were
frequent and emphatic. The condition
Of affairs was at first almost pitiful.
Men were being taken down with fe.
yer from day to day in large numbers,
with nobody TO nurse them but rough
western fellow, who had neither ex-
perience in nor capacity for such WORK.
The result was, that the death list wa.
very large. After the many complaints
sent to the War Department, and the
unfavorable criticisms of the press,
there was an improvement, and l think
matters are on a better footing now"
This matter is attracting attention here
and will be very likely to result in
some official investigation.

Gallery, Of Louisiana, in reviewing the
war with Spain, said: Il believe that,
if the truth is ever known, it will be
found that the i'll fated battleship Maine
was destroyed By the Cuban insurgents.
One thing is certain, Spain either
directly or indirectly was not implicated
in the cowsrdlg crime. Spain at the
time knew that the opinion Of the
American people was fast drifting to-
ward war. She wss not in any position
to 90 to war with the United States.
She knew the inevitable outcome of q
war with US and was doing all in her
power to prevent hosiities. Weyler
was removed al our request, the recon
ceutrado order was revoked and an
armistice wss proclaimed. War could
have been avoided aud Spain would
have gladly given up Cuba very soon.
But the American people and their able
representative inCongress and the cabi'

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10 1895

The New York Evening Post says
the Spanish, was cruel war and a
dishonest war; that it was folly for Us
to try to give good government
to any island when We were
not able to give it to ore o
our own cities; that We assume virtues
which we do not possess, and that We
ought to give back everything to Spain.
Aud then we ought to begin to try TO
raise ourselves out of our own corFup,
ton and wretchedoess." I. is well for
the country that few Gifts people still
possess not only common sense. but in
dependence enough to manifest it. 1t
is the latter quality that is most lack
ing ir this country. But the fear the
intelligent people have of running
contrary to the whms of the ignorant
msjority, seems to be natural failing,
and has been 50, in this country, for
many years.
