The governments offer to buy
bonds to the amount Of $25, 900, 900
has been extended to December 2S.
1t is believed that by that time the
seven millions in bonds not yet pur-
chased will have been rendered. Then
the bonded indebtedness of the United
States will be l,02l million dollars,
$600,0 less than it was in 1887. No
doubt next year the debt will be re-
duced below the billion dollar mark.
The paying of Of the war debt
stopped in 1898 when the outstand-
ing bonds aggregated 5S5 million
dollars. The bond sales during the
Cleveland administration raised the
interest bearing Indebtedness to 847
million dollars, and the bond sales OF
last year on account Of the Spanish
war sent the total up to l,046 mil.
lions. 1t takes Republican admin.

This is the utterance of the presi-
dent Of the Philippine commission,
D. G. Worcester: When ! look back
over the past nine months | wonder
that the United States has made so
much progress in gaining the good
will Of the Filipinos. In a hundred
ways the Filipinos show that they
have begun to trust US. say to you
that il we give them good government
the day will soon come when they
will fight to the death for us. | am
asked why it is, under these circum-
stances, that we are compelled to
send great army to the Philippines.
| answer because we are waging the
most humane war in history; because
we are attempting to protect the
peaceable inhabitants from the depre-
dations of the lawless. With the evil
element once in the ascendant among
ten millions Of people the task Of re-
storing order and affording protection
to the law-abiting is far from small.
There are whole provinces, yes, whole
islands, ready to declare for us, as
soon as we can send troops to defend
them against the Tagals.

The Governments Strong. Arm

The Evangelical Visitor, the organ
of the River Brethren church, says:
"Later news received here are that
the Matoppa Mission was in the
war territory and that commun-
ication with the mission was cut
off. No letter will reach them at the
present. We however have no fears
that they will be personally molested
because they are American citizens
and the U. s. government would hold
the Beers responsible" In other
words the strong armiof the Ameri-
can nation is around its citizens
wherever they may be and safety is
felt by all, regardless oflsurround-
ings. The are many members Of the
River Brethren church who do not be-
leve in voting Do they not see in
the present situation Of their mission
aries the best Of reasons for aiding in
making the government a'good oneP
Is not their duty to go to the polls
and cast their voze to secure able,
strong and worthy officers for The

the end that the force Of this nation
may be exerted toward the right
This ia a matter for the members OF
that sect to think seriously about.

Money in Circulation.

In these days, when SO much is
said about the insuaiciency Of the
money in circulation, the fact cannot
be too frequently reiterated that the
total stock Of money in the United
States, as well as that in circulation,
was never as great both absolutely
and per capita as on Dec. l. 1899.
This is shown briefly in the following
table by decades since the beginning
OF the century.

To hell with your new-caught converts,
Let your pocketrags, pale, rot furled!

To make this u white mans world
Good kindIing, your milk-hued pamphlets
Chock Of featherbed cant and creed
The wastes we water with white mans blood
A white mans world will feed,
We came ut the nations orders,
We've found that the land Is good,
The fields we fertile with savage dead
viii fatten with white mans food;
We clear the way with the rifle!
Send your plowman to mark or blaze
His section corners we monument
with the graves of these lighting days.
Oh, lily faced neuters home welded,
Think ye that we suffer and die,
To feather the way for nerveless cant,
And further bloodless LIEF
We fight for the gold-shod mountains
Fat fields cenNred DER with weeds!
Yea we fight with the arm Of the tittest,
To supply the survivors needs

Then down on your bellies, clean heart-spent

The Washington Ceremonial.

Ceremonies in keeping with the i'm
portance and solemnity Of the occa'
sion will mark the Masonic celebra-
tions at Mount Vernon on December
IA OF the hundredth anniversary OF
the death Of George Washington
Leading Masons from every state in
the Union, along with many OF the
more prominent members OF the
craft from Canada, Mexico, Central
and South America as well as from
many foreign countries, will join at
the tomb Of Washington TO do honor
to him as the greatest Of American
citizens, the most eminent Of Ameri-
can Masons.
President Mckinley, along with the
members OF the cabinet, both houses
Of congress, the judges Of the supreme
court and the members OF the foreign
legations resident in Washington will
Join in the exercises. The president
himself is member OF the Masonic
craft. He was initiated into the
order while campaigning in 1868 in
the valley Of Virginia, where he took
the first degrees in the Masonic
chapter at Winchester. The address
which the president has promised to
deliver on the occasion OF the GEN.
tennial anniversary of Washington's
death will, accordingly, beof addition
al interest on account OF his being
Virginia Mason.
About 20O0 Masons from Virginia
alone as well as delegations from the
other states will be present. The
Prince OF Wales, who is the Grand
Master Mason Of England, has been
obliged at the last moment to revoke
his acceptance Of the invitation to be
present and assist in the ceremonies
With his regrets he sent Grand Mas
ter Duke, Of Virginia, his photograph
in full Masonic attire.
The plan Of the days exercises will
be to reproduce as far as possible the
sacred Masonic rites and ceremonies
which marked the funeral Of Wash.
ington a century ago. At Mount
Vernon the visiting Masons will dis
embark and form in regular Masonic
columns with the three lodges OF
Alexandria at the head ard in the
place Of honor. They will then fol-
low as nearly as possible the route
taken by the funeral cortege Of Wash
ington to the old vault, where the
Grand Master OF Colorado will deliver
an address. After some additional
exercises it will proceed to the tomb
where Washington now lies.
After prayer by the Grand Chap,
lain the Grand Master Of Virginia will
ask for greetings and responses from
the original thirteen states. Then in
turn the states from the rest Of the
union will be asked for tributes to
him whose memory they have gath
cred to celebrate. The responses
will be brief and appropriate. At
tne close OF tne ritual Jne Granu
Masters will deposit upon the tomb
evergreen wreaths, and the craft will
in turn march slowly by and pay a
like tribute
In broken order the brethren will
then proceed to the mansion house
where President Mckinley will deliver
his address. The president will be
followed by other speakers Of national
and international reputation and the
occasion will be in every way note
worthy After tho addrassoe thu
