people with the question and leave 1t
in their hands. Their instincts and
their genius will settle It. We cannot
undo the past. The responsibilities
remain with the achievements and the
slorins. The American people have
never shrunl; from the obligations
which have como to them In the un-
parallcled advance of the republic.
There have been doubters and oppon-
ents at every stage, but the nation has
moved steadily onward In dealing
with the new and mighty questions
which events have brought to us, our
countrymen will not be unmindful that
as history unfolds itself civilization is
rcslstlessly supplanting barbarism,and
that we of America who are THE heirs
OF all the ages In the foremost files of
time" have n part to play In this
splendid march of human progress. In
the worlds advance civilization has
followed the sun i'm it's westward
course, and. girdlns the globe, II now
reaches where 1t began, and the Occi-
dent and the Orient meet under the
free flag Of the great Republic.

There are no three men in congress
No manufacturer of iron or steel or
anything else would give two cents for
the opinion of either of them on any
matter of business, and yet they have
such confidence In their own wisdom
and ability that they would be willing
to undertake the management of the
celestial system with the same assur-
ance that they discussed the cost of
armor plate. The rules Of the senate
permitted them to have their way, not
withstanding the appeals and remon-
strances of the officers OF the navy. and
as u consequence the building of battle
ships will have to be suspended"
1t is to be hoped that during the time
thus wasted we shall not have sudden
need of additional b9ttleships, for If we
should, the matter of $50 or 500 ton
in the price of few thousand tons OF
armor plate would be a small item in
the scale. what we should save at the
spigot would then be wasted in short
order at the bunghole and the nation
would be lucky to get out of a naval
scrape at ten times the cost of armor
plate at Si00 a ton. 1t is this small and
nlggardly spirit on the part of certain
congressman which forced the govern.
ment . year ago to buy up old mer-
chant ships at fancy prices in the fran
tic attempt to improvise a navy capable
OF combating the navy of SDain. Oul
good ships fortunately were sufficient
to take care of Spain's poor ones, but
if our antagonist had been Russia oil
Germany or France we might have hat
to sing a different tune. 1t is all right
to hold out against manifest over
charges, but when a fair price is quoted
the policy of true economy in matters
of this character is to accept it an6
push the work Of naval construction Sc
| as to be prepared as soon as possible
! for every untoward contingency.

That Armor Plate Muddle.

Specifications have been prepared by
the navy department for the "a, 600 tons
of armor plate needed in the construc-
tion of the six new -battleships author
lied by the Fifty-fifth congress. but
inasmuch as the authorized price for
the armor for three of the ships is only
$500 per ton it is said that no bids will
be sent in as the armor plate manu-
facturers contend that they cannot pro-
duce the commodity for so low a price.
The senators responsible for the cut
in the authorized price claim that $4OO
a ton is too much to pay for armor
plate and that if the United States is
going to use much plate it had better
build a factory of it's own. With ref
erence TO this proposition the ordnance
officers of the navy, who have investl-
gated the subject thoroughly, are
unanimously hostile. They assert that
in addition TO the large initial cost of
government armor plate plant il
would be several years before the
machinery could be made and placed
in working order, and by that time
ment that would make it practically
worthless. The development of the
science of shipbulding and gunnery
has been so radical and rapid within
the last ten years that ships in our
navy which We're in advance of any
thing that the world had previously
thought of at the time they were
launched are now practically old-fash-
ioned. The officials think that by the
time the armor plant was completed
we would want a new one built on diff
ferent designs, and that the $4,000, 900 OF
| 81, 4,0O00 900 it would cost would be prac-
| tically wasted Furthermore, they be-
lieve it would be an injustice of the
| grossest kind for the government to GO
into competition with the private COM
panies.
"Some years ago." writes w. Il. Cur
tbs in the Chicago Record, "at the urg-
ent solicitation of the naval officials
the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
| erected splendid plants at a cost OF
several million dollars each, in order
to supply armor for our battleships. II
was an act of patriotism, because tho
demand for armOr is limited, and con.
fined exclusively to the United States
and other governments, and the risl
was very great because of the rapil
change in methods. In order to pay &
reasonable profit upon the investment
and provide a sinking fund to REIN,
burse themselves for the cost of the
plant before 1t became obsolete, thes,
companies fixed a price which, accord
ing to the experts, was just and fail

selves, and it is less than other govern
ments are paying them and European

At time when too many religious
denominations are dlssipating their en-
ergies in disputing over the subtleties
of the so-called higher criticism or are
going about with theological or sec
tartan chips on their shoulders, seek
ing whom they may devour 1t is due
to the Protestant Episcopal church in
America to say that 1t has devoted
very little time to this kind of contro-
versy and very much time to the insti-
tuition and development of practical
charities and works of broad benevo-
lence.
In our own community it has carried
practical religion into the every day
lives of multitude of people repre-
senting all classes and stations; and
it's organization of parish work comes
very near to being ideal. The dedi-
cation yesterday of the new parish
house of st. Lukes congregation, the
splendid memorial erected by the wise
beneficence of Mary Throop Phelps,
supplies a fitting opportunity for pub
lie recognition of these progressive ana
admirable ministrationS. Though there
may be room for differences of judg-
ment and opinion with respect to doc
trine there is none in reference to the
usefulness of the purposes to which this
parish building will hereafter he de-
voted. 1t will be in very truth "a home
for the helpless, the poor and the un-
fortunate; a home to inculcate the
spirit of thrift. to encourage the de-
spondent and to make the community
feel and know that Christianity is more
than forms and ceremonies and fine
words uttered from the lips outward.
The congratulations of the people are
due TO all who have in any way con-
tributed to the generous sentiment that
called this parish home into being, but
more especially are thanks due to st.
Luke's indefatlgable and devoted rec
tor, Rev. Rogers Israel and to his
| efficient assistants, who give to the
beautiful building the directing spirit
| which, under Providence, makes it a
power for good,

Wanted-A Man,

The attention of the people of Penn
sylvania is called to the condition of
affairs indicated in the following ex-
tract from news letter sent out from
Harrisburg under date of April ,:
with the date OF final adjournment
only eleven days off, the legislature
has not sent single revenue bill to
the governor. The numerous rev.
enue measures passed by the house
are still in the senate finance commit
tee. The private charities will suffer
if some of the revenue bills are not
enacted into laws. Governor Stone
nas repeatedly said that he will not
sign away a single cent in advance OF
the state revenues. The bills for state
and semi-state institutions and the
general appropriation bill aggregate
the estimated revenues for the next
two years. Unless more revenue is
raised there will be nothing left for
the private charities and to complete
the capitol"
Failure TO complete the capitol
would not necessarily generate poig-
nant sorrow outside of Harrisburg
and the narrow circle of expectant
contractors, but the curtaim"nt Of
state aid to hospitals and asylums is d
prospect not TO be contemplated with
complaceny. We do not agree with
those who argue that the way out Of
the present perplexing revenue hole
is to enter upon a widespread scheme
of increased taxation. The state oG
Pennsylvania is taxing it's citizens at
the present time quiet enough. The
state needs first of all to cut down lis
unnecessary expenses and then 1t
needs to get down TO common sense
principles in it's allotment Of the school,
fund.
The state OF Pennsylvania gives tC
education more money than it can af-
ford to give in view of the just claims
of other proper objects of state aid
1t gives nearly $4,000, 900 more a yeaI
TO its public schools than the state
next to it in the list. New York, anC
ii is not getting from this lavish anC
eXtravagant placing Of its funds the
worth of its mistaken generosity. We
are informed that there are scnooi dis
tricts in the state which receive from
the state for educational purposes

An ELOQUENT Justification.

The response OF tho administration
20 the Kisses of the Boston anti-im-
perialists may be read In and between
the lines Of the speech of the post
master general delivered at Chicago
last night and printed In another col
umn. The president does not assume
to tell the people what they shall do
with the Philippines. That is for
them tn decide. His duty ends with
the enforcement OF low and order and
The preservation Of public rights by
military government pending the re-
reipt of further instructions from con-
gress.
The administration holds that 1t has
thus far acted logically and in the
only manner left open to it by duty
and honor The necessities of war
forced Dewey to destroy the Spanish
fleet which was the last prop to Span
ish authority in the Philippines. The
necessities of our international obliga-
tions forced the occupation of Manila
by American troops pending the con-
Clusion of a treaty of peace; other-
wise foreign governments could nave
held the United States responsible in
damages for the destruction by native
looters of foreign property at Manila.
The necessities of peace forced the
taking over of the islands as an alter
native to their return to helpless Spain,
to their forcible partitioning among
the stronger powers or to their sur
render to internal anarchy and chaos.
No one has successfully disputed these
propositions. No one has shown how
without cowardice or bad faith we
could have done otherwise than we
did.
The attack of the insurgent natives
upon our military police force, how
ever deplorable, had to be met and the
only way to meet it was to put the in
surrection down. Aguinaldo, by that
attack, placed himself on par with
Geronimo or Sitting Bull. The re-
sponsibility being ours by the laws of
nations and the necessity Of self de-
fense being supreme and incontest-
able, the war now in progress needs
no further Justiicatlon ana those VINO
claim that it could have been averted
simply express an opinion for which
there is neither proof nor plausible in"
ference.
But the postmaster general goes Tur-
her than to set forth the administra-
ions justification for steps already
saken. He affirms boldly his belief
that what has been done has beer
righteously done and that the work
thus begun should be carried through
o its logical conclusion, until Ameri'

Preacher Puzzles People.

Oklahoma produces another SEN
sation by the action of man who
claimed to be a Christian preacher
and said he was from Missouri.
The scene of the trouble is at Sha-
ner. small town near Perry. Here
the Rev. G. B. Harold arrived six
month ago and began a protracted
meeting. during which 100 persons
joined the church. Harold has
lived there since. He passed him
self off as a single man and was
quite favorite with the young
ladies of the little town.
Ten days ago Harold's wife sud-
denly dropped into the town with
her children. He Immediately left
for parts unknown without seeing
his wife or bidding his numerous
sweethearts good by.
More than a dozen fathers of the
community are on the track of the
preacher at this and other towns.
1t is said that Harold was en-.
gagged to wed a half dozen different
young ladies, and several irate
fathers declare they will shoot the
preacher on sight.
