State Sunday School Workers

This article should have appeared yes
terday. A full report of the convention
will appear in tomorrow's paper.
The Sunday school convention
held it's opening session in the
Methodist church last night. The
attendance was large and every
body seemed interested in the ex-
ercises. Prof. }. w. kirkpatrick
led the singing with Miss Grace
Gaffney presiding at the organ.
E. S. Upham was selected to pre-
side over the deliberations. Rev.
j. g. Porter conducted the prayer
and thanksgiving service. DR..
Law of Ocala delivered an appro-
pirate welcome address. Then
followed the address of the even
Ing by Prof. Hamill on the
"Value of Sunday school work. -
He is fluent and easy speaker
and his address fairly bristled
with practical thought and ap-
propriate illustrations. He de-
lighted his audience and shed new
luster upon our holy religion and
the grand army of Sunday school
workers throughout the country.
Everybody In the city ought to
hear him. Prof. Cappa sang a
beautiful solo and after the bene-
diction the audience repaired to
the armOry, where d reception
was given the delegates and their
friends. The reception was under
the skil)ful management of Miss
Annie Sharpe.
Receiving committee: Mrs. Nc
Conathy, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs.
r. l.. Anderson, Mrs Dunn, Mrs.
Hooker and Mrs. Weathers.
Floor committee: Mrs. Todd,
Mrs. Gaffney, Mrs. Livingston,
Mrs. Brumby, and Mrs. w. S.
Bullock.
Committee to distribute souve-
Mrs: Mrs. III. L. Anderson, Mrs.
Davis, Miss Apperson, Miss JEFF
fries, Miss Stevens, Miss Platt
and Mrs. Mason:
Mrs. Zewadski, Mrs. Dame and
Mrs. Spurlin were in charge of
the tables, and served lemonade.
They were assisted by four
young ladies from each church.
Ocala's musical talent showed up
grandly. Mrs. E. L. Carney's in
strumental selections thrilled the
audience. Miss Lena Bullock sang
sweet solo which seemed to
charm and captivate everybody
present.
The main feature of the musical
feast was the singing of the gift
ed and accomplished Mrs. Helen
Hunter of Fulton, N. Y. Her
singing was so pleasing and cap
tivating that the audience gave
her a hearty encore. Mr.. Will
Dale sang with his usual skill and
magnetic force.
The reception was largely at
tended and heartily enjoyed by
all. A prominent divine in at
tendance upon the convention
said to the writer: 81 tell you,
your Ocala women never do any
thing by halves. This reception
is the handsomest thing of the
kind | have ever SEEM

GENERAL, WHEELER TEsTIFIEs

General Wheeler has been heard from
again. Evidently the General Is as
good an observer and student of his
environment as he is a daring and sue
cessful soldier. He writes to a friend
from the Philippines confirming COM
pletely what has over and again been
printed in the news and editorial col
umns Of this journal-namely, that in
the island of Luzon alone there are
over twenty distinct tribes, and that
very few of them would submit to
Aguinaldo's rule. He finds that Aguin-
aldo and his Generals are prompted by
a desire to rule over the people for the
very love of power, to say nothing of
gain.
He adds that many of the Filipino
soldiers like war because it gives them
opportunity for the first time in their
lives to carry a gun. AS for SUBJ
sistence, these soldiers live from hand
to mouth, taking what they want as
they move, robbing defenseless people
or their money and goods, and often
numbering them as a finish. And Gen.
erRl Wheeler likewise gives his name
to the verdict rendered by our other

The Review of Reviews puts it
squarely when it says that the defeat
Of the Administration at the polls last
month would have operated against
our arms In the Philippines. There is
no exception made in this statement.
as. for instance, that where no partisan
questions were involved, no political is
sues as to Administration policy joined
the effect of opposition triumph would
not have been received in the Philip
pines as aid to the enemy No; the
Review" holds that any such defeat,
no matter what the local issues would
have injured the cause Of the nation
in the Philippines, for the reason that
the Aguinaldoites have come to look
upon the war against them as a parti-
san affair: to think Mr.. Bryan and the
Democrats are their particular friends
and wellwishers. while Mr.. Mckinley
and the Republicans are their i'm
placable enemies" But, as the RE
view" says, while this is an off year in
politics, and while the Republican VIC
tories were not overwhelming, they
were sweeping enough to indicate the
unmistakable support of the Admins
tration's Philippine policy.

JAPAN AND THE GOLD STANDARD.

Japanese paper, the Kobe Her
ald," is quoted by our Consul Lyon of
Hiogo, as giving a rather interesting
bit Of news in the way of an opinion
by the Japanese Consul at New York
on the question Of the effect of Japan's
adoption of the gold standard, upon
trade with this country. It must be
kept in mind that the probability is
that the Consul spoke only with full
knowledge Of his Government and
only by its request, and that the ques-
lions were asked only under the same
conditions
The Nagoya Chamber of Commerce
sent to the Japanese representative at
New York several questions for an
swer. Two of these are quoted by our
own Consul as representative of the
official view Of the effect Of the gold
standard of Japan.
The first question was Whether there
has been any feeling in the New York
market against Japan on account of the
new monetary system of the empire. -
The reply was:
The export trade from New York to
Japan is showing signs of development
year after year; and these signs were
especially marked last year. Though
such advance Of trade is not holly at
tributable to the adoption of the gold
system at home. yet it is noticeable
that the export merchants at New York
a
OF business, for there has been no seri-
Gus change on one side or the other
since Japan adopted the gold system.
The second question was more pointed
and was in these words: did the adop-
ton of the gold standard in Japan tell
disadvantageously upon export BUSH
ness from Japan to New York;" The
| reply was:
No; not at all. Owing to the stoppage
Of fiuctuation in exchange, all the
principal articles of merchandise, such
as raw silk, tea, ETC., entering New
York from Japan are maintaining a
most advantageous position in the
field of competition against the pro-
ducts coming from China
The questions and the replies indicate
how extremely sensitive Japanese trade
is to monetary experiments, and how
ready it may be to stand for any
change that will preserve and enlarge
Japanese commerce With this country.
The replies will stiffen Japanese opin-
ion in the judgment that set up the
new standard.

Mr.. w. F. Edwards, in "Gunton's
Magazine" challenges the teaching
fraternity with the proposition that too
much time is given from a pupils life
in the study Of grammar. Without
passing upon the soundness of that
Judgment now we give single extract
from his paper that will suffice, prob
ably, to quicken thought ON the sub
ject of how good English is best
learned:
If the pupil always hears correct
English from his teachers and is al
ways corrected when he uses incorrect
English he will acquire a correct use
Of the language without spending sew
eral years studying books devoted to
rules and their many exceptions, dia-
grams, parsing, spelling lists, ETC. After
the pupil has learned to use correct
English, while learning something else
which he writes and talks about, five
hours a week for one school year is
all that is necessary for the systematic
teaching Of English grammar

THE GOOD WORK BEGINS.

The broad mindedness and harmony
prevailing at the first meeting of the
Executive Committee Of the California
Water and Forest Association, which
was held on Saturday indicates that
there Is earnestness, unselfishness and
fine spirit among the members and that
the plan already agreed upon to have
the water storage and forest preserva-
ton ideas which lie so close to Califor-
MIA interest and the irrigation interests
of the whole country proceed conjoint-
ly and harmoniously along all the lines
of action to be taken. It is to be State
and national work combined and there
is to be no friction in the matter.
The permanent organization Of the as
ISOLATION was effected. The associa-
ton pledged itself to aid in every
reasonable way from the outset the
work of the Federal geological sur
vey and of Federal irrigation investiga-
ton of. To this end the expenditures
by the association will be made as may
be necessary and within it's capacity.
A very important resolution was
adopted which Is to take the form OF
a memorial to Congress that If it is
agreed to and made effective, will prove
of highest value to this State. It is a
proposition to reserve from entry all
timber lands Of the Government within
California, with the repeal Of the law
now permitting entry, to enact a law
setting up a system by which the SELL
ing Of stumpage on such lands may
prevail under such forestry regulations
as the Department of Agriculture shall
adopt.
That means then, and 1t Is a sound
proposition and should prevail, that the
timber on public lands should be sold
independently of the land and solely
for the purpose of telling trees which
the department regulations may select
as tit to- be taken The wisdom of such
procedure has been demonstrated in
Europe. Under it the sufficient supply
of lumber is not reduced, but at the
same time vast quantities of valuable
trees are not destroyed In order to get
at those the seeker wishes
Under the selection system, by which
the Government indicates what trees
may be cut within given time and
area forest growth can be thinned out
where needful and specially conserved
where that is demanded. The destruc-
ton Of young growth may be largely
prevented also, and thus the highest
and best purposes of forestry science
be promoted. Every effort should be
made to have Congress adopt the sys-
tenn. AS an initial work the associa-
ton can do nothing that will be of
higher value to the State. All other
schemes in view must proceed of ne
cessfty much slower, but this one is
within the possibility of accomplish
ment at an early day.

Lieutenant Monroe of the Fourth
United States Cavalry is something Of
a wit as we'll as a most daring soldier.
The idea of his taking an armed force
of the enemy 500 strong with no more
than fifty men under his command
seems absurd. But he did it and right
cleverly, SO cleverly that the feat ought
to win him far more significant and
valuable shoulder straps than those he
now wears. For with but a half hun
dred troopers he took Bayombong, re-
leased near a hundred Spanish prison
ers and two Americans, made prisoner
Of General Conon and 500 officers and
men of the insurgent army and took
ant tapped the telegraph wires and sent
news" to General Conon that a very
large force of American troops was adj
vancing upon the town and its garri
son. He followed this up with a de-
mand to the insurgent commander for
the surrender of his force as a superior
one was about to attack The insurgent
thereupon replied that he would sur
render to a superior force. The Lieu
tenant notified him that he would send
in but a small guard to receive the
arms and act in the ceremonies of ca
pitulation. Accordingly the Lieutenant
and his fifty men took the place and
made prisoners of the large number of
the enemy stated, besides securing
large amount of army property and
the arms outfit. It was, from present
advices, bold undertaking It was
daring and hazardous feat, so much
SO, indeed, that had not success at
tended it the junior officer of the hand
full Of cavalrymen would have been cen
sured and punished severely by his su-
periors for entering upon such a wild
scheme. But the bluff prevailed and
the Lieutenant is now, probably, the
hero of the hour in Luzon. For dash,
wit and grit We have had nothing to
equal this feat in recent times in war.

officers, that were we to withdraw from
the islands anarchy and terrible war
would ensue, and the well-to-do would
appeal to some strong Government to
intervene to protect them.
Another very significant statement by
General Wheeler may be dedicated with
entire propriety to those individuals
who are permitted in this country to
give aid and comfort to the enemy, and
to inspire them with hope. for Flight
ing Joe" Wheeler says in SO many
words:
Aguinaldo publishes a paper, which
is filled with expressions from people
of the United States who are called
anti-imperialists, and, I think, were it
not for these expressions, the insur-
rection would be closed.
Those who have sneered at and ridi-
culed the expressions Of loyal men and
papers because of statements precisely
like this to which they have given
voice may now be expected to turn
their shafts against the grizzled Ala
bama warrior, whose word is his bond,
and is everywhere so received.

THE FOOLS.

Bakersfield Californian: The number
Of fools in this world seem to be on the
increase rather than to the contrary.
Indiana furnishes the latest illustration
of what a few idiots will do while
laboring under the delusion that they
are having fun. Some students in the
State Normal School initiated a new
member into one of their societies, and
in the ceremony, the boys clothes were
torn to shreds, his body was smeared
with axle grease and he was subjected
to so severe a shock from an electric
battery that his hearing was destroyed
and he is now in dangerous condition
1t would seem at distance that the
young men attending this Normal
School would, in the face of such ac-
ton, have a hard time securing posi-
lions as teachers. They show rather
a mentality about sufficient to secure
them places as woodchoppers out on

comedy than solemn and dignified tri-
bunal where human life was at stake.
According to the printed reports, attor-
neys for the State and for the defense
seemed to vie with each other in efforts
to rid1cule, brOwbeat and confuse tales
men. Instead of making an honest and
straightforward effort to ascertain the
general intelligence of the prospective
juror and his qualifications to serve. he
was piled with technical and mislead-
ing questions and required to give the
meanings of words which men of even
more than average intelligence would
be unable to readily answer under the
embarrassment which most men unac-
customed to being placed on the legal
rack naturally feel.
ORGANIZED SENTIMENT.
San Bernardino Sun: There is prob
ably no abuse existing side by side with
civilization that has not its society for
the prevention thereof. There are
peace societies, societies for the hous-
ing and feeding of stray dogs, societies
for the distribution of flowers to con-
victed felons, and for a thousand other
purposes, all laudable. The bulk of
them more or less freakish in concep-
ton and scope. All of which goes to
snow tendency on the part of those
cursed with a congenial fiexibility of
spine and fiaccidity of the tear ducts to
seek mutual support through organiza-
ton and to exploit an unhealthy emo
tionalism by means of bulk and num-
Der.
Since the world began there has all
ways existed a certain proportion Of
humanity whose sympathy and coun-
tenance were given the under-dog, not
because the under-dog was necessarily
in the right, but because he was get
ting the worst Of it. Such people, 50
far from believing with Napoleon that
God favors the heaviest battalions, are
rather disposed to maintain that the
devil has always the advantage in
point of guns and men, and that just
cause necessarily finds fewer partisans
than are arrayed upon the side of OPP
preston. And this mental attitude is
very much in evidence just now, SINCE
the emotionalists find two choice causes
to champion-that of Aguinaldo and the
Beers
1t is fortunate for the world, how
ever, that the bulk of mankind is not
ruled by sickly sentiment. Hence, in
spite OF the shouting, the protests and
the frenzied appeals TO heaven of short
haired women and long-haired men,
the English speaking race continues to
work out it's destiny in the island of
Luzon and upon the continent of Africa
Meanwhile the walters enjoy themselves
in their own peculiar way with little
harm to anyone since few people have
ever taken them seriously.

attention which are requisite Tor sue
cess in any business. Why, then, do
we have to send abroad for poultry
and eggs?
The trouble is. we think, that nine
persons out of ten who undertake to
raise poultry do so with the convic-
ton that all that is needed is yard
and a few sacks of wheat. They ex-
pect to make money without any out
Law. and without devoting their time
and energy to the business. They would
not think of opening store, or CT
starting a newspaper, or of cultivating
vegetables, with the expectation that
any of these lines of business
would run itself. But chickens-why,
of course, anybody can raise chickens.
Every city and town in CALIFORNIA
offers a market for the poultry pro-
Queer There may be a few weeks
during the summer when the market
is dull, but as rule the demand is
active and continuous at prolitaple
prices, and poultry raisers IN this val
lev and elsewhere who study the re-
ouirements of the business and devote
their time to it are making money. The
industry presents a profitable field Tor
exploitation, and it is certain to prove
remunerative until such time at least
as the home supply of poultry and eggs
shall meet the home demand.
