Rev. DR.. Radcliffe pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, who
was moderator of the last general assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States, will preach the annual sermon be-
fore the next general assembly, which will
convene in the one hundred and eleventh
session at Minneapolis, Mimi, Thursday,
May Is, 1899. One of the most interesting
matters to be considered at the meeting will
be an overture sent up by the presbytery of
Peoria, proposing new plan for appointing
the standing committees Of the assembly.
The overture is as follows: That the rules
of the general assembly relating to the ap
pointment of members of the standing COM
mittees be amended so that the general as
sembly for this purpose be divided into
twenty-five districts by uniting the smaller
synods and dividing one or two of the
larger, If necessary, which division may be
by presbyteries.'
A number of the charitably inclined ladies
of Washington have accepted invitations
from the Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety of the Baltimore Conference of the
M +. Church to assist in raising funds for
the purpose of building a structure intended
to be used in behalf of what is termed a
great and important work among Bohem-
ians in Baltimore.
An appeal which is to be issued to men,
bers OF the denomination will in part say:
For the past seven years this work has
been carried on in small, undesirable and
poorly equipped rented quarters unfit for
the work which 1t is intended to accom-
pliSh. The time has now come when some
radical change in the history of this work
is not only needed, but is an imperative ne
ceSsity, II we want to utilize the golden op-
portunity given to us in this great and
needy field.
ITO overcome all these difficulties and to
enlarge the scope of the work these noble
bands of ladies (of the missionary society,
after a careful consideration and diligent in
quiry. being convinced of the needs and
importance of this work resolved, with the
help OF citizens philanthropists and rel1g-
1ouS people, to build a suitable and COM
modious building. where different depart
ments and branches of the work could be
successfully carried on.

In proof of the fact that Russia does

of the expenses of last year. Not less

time the great Transsberian military
railway. to connect European and AS

with feverish activity.
There is no longer any pretcnse of
concealment of Russia's designs to ex-
ercise predominating influence over
China and to appropriate the largest
share OF the vast empire that is
topping to it's fall. While Russia has
been steadily developing her power in
China the Russian outposts in Central
Asia have been pushed forward until
they are within hearing OF the drum

Some Of our anti expansionist

Lincoln, a Patrick Henry etc., be-
cause he is Fighting for "liberty."
Bosh! what does he know about
liberty? and if he had liberty he
would be like an old COW with a
saddle wouldn't know what to
do with it. 1t is simply the Anti's
opposition to upholding the flag,
for Aguinaldo has lost no liberty
never had any liberty-sold his
peoples struggle for liberty for
$4,000 to Spain-left his country,
came back to it with Dewey-saw

DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN,

1t is hard to tell where T. M,
Patterson and the News will land
now that it has left the populis,
party. Most people have thought
that it would go to the democrat
party but the following item clipped
from the News sounds more like re.
publican doctrine. Here it is, read
It: TT may be we'll to recall few
facts which must govern the dis
cussion of this matter. The war in
the Philippines is all incident of the
war with. Spain. The war with
Spain was forced on the admins
tration by the opposition. The
fact that Admiral Dewey found the
Spanish fleet in Manila bay and de-
stroyed it, subsequently blockading
the harbor, injected this country in
to Philippines affairs, and made us
responsible to foreign nations for
the safety of their residents and the
property of such residents of Ma
nilla. This became by the stress
of the situation a serious response
hility, and one that could not be
evaded. Before the treaty of peace
with Spain had been ratified, before
it had been possible to formulate
any policy in regard to the archi-
pelago, Aguinaldo attacked our
lines and precipitated the pending
war. In the face of these facts will
any American say that this W; r
should not be prosecuted to a sue
cessful issue, no matter what we
may do with the island thereafter?
IT ever we retire from those islands.
no American, no American ship.
nothing that was American in any
way, would be safe in the Orient,
or treated with respect, unless we
now administer to these Filipinos
such a punishment as they will
never forget. The national admin
istration that failed to do this would
be deserving Of criticism"
