read it. AS the man and his wife sat
reading it one night, it's power over the
soul began to be felt and the man said
to his wife, "if this book is true. we are
wrong. He read on and a few even
1ngs later he said to his
wife, "if this book is true we
are lost He read on. and as
the light Of the cross shone in his soul
true we may be saved" That is the
center and core of the Bible. You may
read it for history, and in panoramic
splendor there will pass before you in
gorgeous procession the mighty king
doms that once rose in glory, but now
lie dust covered in the graveyard of OBJ
livion. You may read it for it's biogra-
fphies and become familiar with some Of
the mightiest names that have influ-
erced human thought and history. You
may read it for its literature and have
the satisfaction of perusing book that
was old when Shakespeare was playing
/ on the Avon, book some parts of
which were written centuries before
the foundations of Rome were laid. or
greece became a commonwealth. The
BOOK OF Job, acknowledged by literary
experts to be the finest piece of litera-
ture In existence, was written before
Virgil sang the Aeneid or Homer
chanted the Illiad. The oratfons of
Moses, the rhapsodies of Isaiah, the
sayings of Jesus are peerless in the
worlds literature for splendor of die
ton, majesty of style and ethical ele-
vation- But we do we'll to remember
that the great purpose of the Bible is
not to instruct US in history, interest
US In biography or entertain us in lit
erature. It's great and crowning pur-
pose is to make us wise unto saliva

County, who is much in evidence in
public print in defense of his prin
cipal Emilio" and in assault upon the
arms OF the United States. The latest
effusion Of this rather shrewd ana

communication to a San Francisco pa
per, in which he states the case of the
American Tagalos very succinctly.
In brief and boiled down, it is this.
President Mckinley in his message to
Congress said that forcible annexation
would be criminal aggression. We, the
anti-expansionists, are loyal to the flag
because we love it so much that we
still stand where President Mckinley
once stood. He has changed, we have
not. We are not, therefore, disloyal to
the flag, but are disloyal to the new
position of the President. We venerate
our national banner so much that we
revolt against a policy that desecrates
it and makes it float over the palatial
harem of q pagan, slave-holding mon
arch, while our troops attempt to shoot

q third simple proposition, which he
solved as easily as he had solved the
first two. He wrote q cablegram to

right to make suggestion if you
haven't, said the Captain. You have
whipped one fleet in this harbor. and
1t is YOU who will have to fight Cama-

Inc cabiegram was sent, and it had
the desired result, as we know. There
was no objection to the publication in
american, and especially in Spanish
papers, OF the intention of the Navy
department to send a squadron across
the Atlantic. under the command of
commodore Watson. Camara, having
paid heavy toll to pass through Suez,
passed back again, and thus, by the
foresight of the Admiral, bloodshed
and enough vessels for the nucleus of
a new Spanish navy were spared
Meantime he had decided what he
would do if Camara came.
Supposing l were to sail out of the
bay, and leave you and your force to
your own resources for few days,
what would you do?" he asked Major
General Anderson

faced Camara without the Monterey's

Monterey would have meant more

THE CRISIS ON.

To-day at 5 p. M, an hour that in
Africa will have passed when most
readers peruse their morning paper, is
the time limit within which England
must respond affirmatively to the ulti-
matum issued by the Transvaal Gov
ernment yesterday or suffer assault by
the Beers.
This manifesto consists of four de-
mands, namely: That all points of diff
ference between England and the
Transvaa1 shall be submitted to arbi-
trationi that all British troops upon
the border shall be withdrawn; that all
reinforcements for troops which have
arrived In South Africa since the first
OF June last shall be removed from
the country within a reasonable time;
finally, that British troops now on the
high seas en- route for South Africa
shall not be landed.
These terms were preceded by q
statement reciting that the acts of
England in interfering with the affairs
Of the Transvaal have been unlawful
and irritating, creating intolerable con-
ditions which must come to an end;
that If the four demands of the Trans
Vaal Government are not agreed to by
the Queens Government by 5 D. m.
to-day, then any further advance OF
troops upon the border will be consid
cred an act Of war. and the South
African Republic will act accordingly.
There could scarcely have been
framed more tantalizing, not to say
insulting, preface and demand. If the
Beers really wish for war, war speed
lily and bitter, they could not have bet
ter charged a message with stimulant
TO that end. 1t would be preposterous
TO think for moment that England
VIII accede to the demands made un-
der the conditions. However she might
be disposed to acquiesce in most of
them, agree to arbitration, to with
drawal of troops from the border and
return Of reinforcements, under the
menace and tart manifesto of the
Beers she cannot now. accede It is
barely possible that the Ministry may
return a reply of a pacific nature. On
the other hand. British blood is hot,
and an answer viii probably be given
that will amount to a proclamation of
war.
If supreme craftsmanship, the high
est office Of which is to preserve the
peace and conserve amity and friend
ship between peoples, could be free to
assert itself in this crisis, war might
be still averted, the choler Of the Brit
ish nation be choked down, and the
menace Of the Beers be taken as the
petulance and anger Of a child, while
such reply to the ultimatum might be
made as would lead to possible peace
1ul adjustment But just now, judg-
ing from the demonstrations made in
London yesterday, English blood is su-
per-heated, cool judgment is out of or
der, and resentment and determination
TO meet and conquer the Beers rule su-
preme.

After two trials of the convention
system of nominating candidates
the Democrats of Hartford county
determined to return to the old
plan of selecting candidates, which
first went into operation in 1871
and continued without interruption
until 1897. There are evils in both
systems, but some of the worst
features OF the system to which the
party has determined to return can
be lessened by legalizing the pri-
