REBELLION OF THE EAST.

From the New York Sun.
Every day of fighting in the Philippines
strengthens the tie that binds those ISL
ands to the United States. Every life OF
an American soldier lost there, every
hardship and every sacrifice on the part
of the faithful bearers of the Stars and
Stripes fastens the Philippines more Sc
curely as part of the dominion of the
United States.
The bigger the price eXacted from US by
the rebellous Filipinos for the peaceful
possession of that country, rightfully
ours, the more pressing will be this coun-
trys duty and the stronger its determina-
tion to make that possession peaceful.
We will have peace in the Philippines
under the American flag, and we will
have it at any price.
This is in accordance with human ma
ture and with the national traditions, and,
| considering the state of the world, it is
| likewise in accordance with political wis
dom and necessity.
Honor to the Americans who are help
| ing toward peace in the Philippines, and
shame on those who, by encouraging the
deluded and half savage natives, are
striving TO prolonG the strife there and
TO end it in disaster and humiliation to
| the United States.

THE SILK INDUSTRY.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The wonderful growth Of the silk in
dustry in the United States Is shown by
the statistical tables just published by
the Silk Association of America for trade
purposes. The total importations Of
manufactured silks in 1898 were valued
at s23, 9l9, whereas the total importa-
tions of raw silk cocoons and noils for
manufacture in the United States were
valued at S2S, 234, go. The value of the
articles manufactured from the raw silk
in this country is not published, but II
must be immense. American manufac-
lures are now making the best silks. The
silk industry founded under protection
and 1t has added immensely to the wealth
of the country. Like the tin plate in
dustry, the manufacture of silk grew VI

Hope for the Horse,

The era OF good times seems to
have no more marked changes in the
various branches OF trade than those
which have been experienced by the
dealer in horse flesh. And in most
instances the buyer can scarcely be
brought to realize the change that has
been wrought in the conditions of a
year ago. At the beginning of the
Spanish American war an excellent
horse could ne purchased for from
fifty to sixty dollars and the animals
were TO d certain extent drug on
the market at that price. The pass
ing of the jaded steed Of the street
railroad and general depression of
business which diminished the demand
for draught OF pleasure horses made
the prospects indeed gloomy for the
breeders. The opening of the Cuban
campaign, which created q demand for
large number of horses, was accom-
nAnied by an unexpected call from Eu-

A Political Conspiracy.

1t is as plain as a pike-stan to every
open-minded citizen who has studied
the Quay case that this case was planned
for political purposes solely. Take
whatever view one may Of the ques-
tiun Of the defendants innocence or
guilt upon the charge of conspiracy to
misuse the deposited funds OF the COM
mOnwealth. the conclusion is irreslst-
ibla that there was i'm this case another
conspiracy originating in the mind OF
James Gay Gordon ~ time when he
was judge on the bench. u conspir-
acy to use the information purporting
to be detrimental to Senator Quay not
primarily with Il view to eNpediting

may not call this Matchmaking because

lie hath made Him known
BY this arrangement, we find the in
PRODUCTION of st. Johns Gospel natur-
ally divides itself into three sections.
The first, which is the introduction TO
the introduction, consists or three
stanzas. The other two sections con-
sist Of four stanzas each. The first
section consists OF a strophe and an
tistrophe separated by an intermediate
stanza. This Is analogous to the
| method Of the great master poets of
ancient Greece. In the second section
we find a strophe and antistrophe of
seven lines each followed by strophe
| and antistrophe of four lines each. In
| the third section we find four stanzas
Of four lines each following like those
of the second section in the simplest
| strophic arrangement of the ancient
| Greek masters, that Is, strophe, anti
trophe, strophe, antistrophe.
%
This parallellsm of stanzas has been
called the higher Hebrew parallelism.
The parallelism Of lines, which has re-
ism. is also marked throughout this in
PRODUCTION. Take the second section,
! for instance. There was a man sent
from God" has its parallel in the fol-
lowing line. "His name was John" 1t
is the same with the last two lines Of
that stanza. and the first two and the
last two lines of the following stanza.
| Then take the second two stanZas OF
the second section. Here the lower
parallelism is not that of line follow
ing line, such as that just referred to,
but of the first and fourth lines, the
| second and the third. Then there is
another natural feature of such He
brew poetic arrangement. The lines
that stand out to the left can be read
| without reading those set in to the
right. So with the remaining lines. In
| other words. those lines set out to the
left are parallel to each other, those
to the right are parallel to each other.
o
We might further enlarge on this
important subject. We might show
how the understanding of the rules of
Hebrew paralelism assists one very
materially. not only to the correct un-
dcrstandng of the meaning of the
great Hebrew poets, but also to the
meaning of the prophets. For the pro-
phets, too, are poets, and express their
thoughts in the very same kind OF
Hebrew poetic forms. We might sc
still further. We might show how
vitally necessary it is to the correct
Interpretation of Scripture as whole
TO he able to recognize the different lit
erary character Of it's various parts
(for it is continually changing in the
style and manner Of Its speech), anC
to apply with we'll directed discrimina'
tion to the Interpretation of them
those particular rules Of literary crit
icism which naturally apply to them
For we must OF necessity go very fal
astray in our attempt to get at tn
whole truth of God in Christ our Lord
if we do not recognize poetry as poetry
wherever we come across it in TIL
Book of books, but attempt to inter
) pret it solely by the laws laid down II
the ordinary rules of prose.

There is this much to be said for the
legislature which yesterday closed its
lahors. 1t passed little. if any, vicious
legislation. There We're no steals, no
jurkets. no tly-by-night Investigations,
no transparent Jobs The record
made as tn work done was clean. The
worst thing that can be said of the
session Is that it did not do several
things which it should have done. Its
evasion of duty in the matter of rev.
enue Legislation is Censurahe and its
defeat of ballot reform disreputable.
But it is no small thing to be aLle to
say of a Pennsylvania legislature that
it's affirmative achievement is spotless.

natural fruit Of the contentious politics
within party lines With which the COM

Thomas B. Reed.

The reputation of Thomas Is. Reed
extends throughout the civilized world,
being high wherever there is use or
parliamentary law. During a good
deaf more than half Of the twenty

rule of quorum counting which reVo-
lutionized the houses method OF doing
business.
This rule held that member visible
to the speaker should be counted as
present even though he failed to re-
srond at roll call. 1t was intended to
prevent the Democratic minority from
ohstructing legislation by refusing to
answer their names. Those members
absent without leave could be brought
into the house by the sergeant-at- arms
and, once in. they were counted to
make a quorum. whether they liked it
or not. In this way the house ceased
to be a flibustering stronghold and
| became a working assembly, with the
majority at all times able to carry out
| its policy. The Democrats made a
| furious outcry when Mr.. Reed pro-
claimed this rule. For years he was

in horsenesh. The export trade has
not decreased since the close of the
war and the horse raising industry ap-
pears to be again on firm basis. This
is made more apparent by the prices
that the animals bring at private and
auction sales. a horse that could not
be sold for fifty dollars year ago
