refuse to believe that William Nc
Kinley is infallible or his policy of
imperialism in line with true Re-
publioanism will be a gigantic one.
Whatever might have been the
result of pressing current issues in
the campaign of 1900, the action of
the Republican party in congress
has again made the financial ques-
ton leading issue. Next year the
contest will not be over the coin
age of silver, but contest over the
gold standard. 1t seems that any
honest Republican voter with horse
sense ought to be able to see that
he is being played with. In 1896
the Republican managers were for
international bimetalism. But now
this is all forgotten. 1t is the gold
standard without apology or modi-

SWEDISH LUTHERANS.
Dedicatory Exercises Of
New Church in Quinsig-
amond Village.

Dedicatory exercises were begun at
the new Swedish Lutheran church in
Quinsigamond village yesterday eve
ming. The dedication services will con-
tinue until Thursday evening, and there
is expected to be present almost all
the well known Swedish Lutheran min
listers in New England.
The services yesterday began at 1870
o'clock with a sermon by Rev. o. f,
Johanson of Boston, who alluded to
the growth of the Swedish Lutherans
in America and especially in New Eng
land. At o'clock the dedicatory ser
mon was preached by Rev. A. l.. ALL
quist of Portland, Conn. Following
this came a sermon in English by Rev.
o. A. Henry of Fitchburg, and the
pastor, Rev. F. A. Engstrand, gave a
short history of the church,
The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran
church of Worcester was organized
July q, 1896. Early in the spring of
that year F. A. Engstrand was called
from the theological school at Rock
Island, ILL.,, by the mission board of
New York to take charge of the Swe-
dish Lutheran mission at Quinsiga-
mond. At the annual meeting of the
church in January, 1897, Rev. Mr.. Eng
strand received a formal call as settled
pastor of the young church. This he
accepted and began his services in this
church in June 1897.
A piece of land was bought by the
church in 1898 and the corner stone of
the building was laid in September,
1898. The work progressed rapidly and
the church grew in strength, until, at
the time the building was finished, it
numbered nearly $50 communicates,

The evening service yesterday was
given over to a Sunday school festival,
and a program of recitations and songs
was carried out. A short address to
the children was made by Rev. Will
helm Lying. There was a large atten-
dance at all of the exercises, including
many people from the other Swedish
churches of Worcester and Quinsiga-
mond.
Today a mission service will begin at
7.30 p. m. with a missionary sermon by
Rev. A Carlson of Manchester, N. H.
Rev. A N. Benander of North Easton

FOREIGN BOTTOMS,

The idea Of the extension of Ameri-
can exports to South America is ride
ulous in itself. AS long as American
freight has to be carried in foreign
bottoms, and as long as the mongrel
SpanishAmerican governments con-
tinue to misrule the fairest spot on
earth, with their continued revolutions.
making security for life and property
a thing impossible, so long will there
be no chance for the extension of
American trade worth mentioning to
South America, notwithstanding the
''Pan-American" or Commercial CON
crosses" or whatever other name may
tempt the manufacturer to open his
purse in support of another scheme,
having for its object the extension of
American trade to South America"
The information received gives us
such an insight into our diplomatic
service in South America that we are
confident that something is wrong:
that this rotten system of appointing
ministers and consuls must be altered.
that politics must be taken away from
the most important branch Of our gov
eminent service. The system must be
altered, no matter how dear the price
paid, since it is a system which under
mines our prosperity, the very found
alton of our precious institutions.
The Spy's informant said in closing:
Il call upon President Mr. Mckinley to
redeem the pledge made on taking his
office when he promised that the dip
lomatic service should receive his ut
most attention. No doubt much good
as been accomplished, but we ask, why
have no changes been made in these
cases mentioned; why have they not
been Investigated, and the offices
cleared of the men who have more
than once disgraced the honors con-
ferred upon them?

In it he says:
I'm America there is a great party

I'VE therefore pray to God on high
that the great democratic party of the

THE JUBILEE RECORD.
Handsome Memorial of Immaculate
Conception Parish.

The Jubilee Record" bound in royal
purple and gold, is the souvenir pub
lished as reminder of the 25th ami
versary of the founding of the parish
of the Immaculate Conception. A finer
and more complete memorial of a par
ish cannot be found among the records
of any Catholic church in Worcester.
The book is especially dedicated to
those who in the early years assisted
in the founding of the parish.
In it the pastor, Rev. Robert Walsh,
pays tribute to the servant girls, who
did so much for the early upbuilding of
the church. The book contains half
tone cuts of the pastor, the young men
who have gone forth from the parish
and have entered the priesthood; also
pictures of the church, sanctuary and
presbytery.
At the meeting of the ST. Vincent de
Paul society connected with the parish
yesterday, the pastor donated the edi-
ton, which is limited to 200 copies. to
the organization, to sell for one dollar
each, the profits made to be used in
helping the poor of the parish.

WEST is PROSPEROUS.
President of Washburn College Says
Boom is on.

George M Herrick, president of
Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas,
who is making tour of the principal
eastern cities for the purpose of rails
ing funds for his college, is in Worces-
ter. the guest of Rev. DR.. Willard
Scott, pastor of Piedmont church.
Washburn college is named for Icha-
bod Washburn Of this city, who be-
came interested in the welfare of the
institution in its early days. On ac-
count of his generosity, the name of
the college which was originally Lin
coin, was changed to Washburn The
institution. which is now in its 35th
year, is in a most prosperous condi-
ton. 1t is the Congregational college
of the state of Kansas, maintaining
faculty of sixteen persons and having
a total enrolment of 275 students. The
regular collegiate course is followed.
Mr. Herrick has been president of
the college since 1896. Previously to
that time he was located in Chicago
for 10 years. Speaking of the politi-
cal outlook in the west Mr.. Herrick
says he feels practically certain that
Mckinley and Bryan will be the re-
publican and democratic candidates
for president next year. The last cleo
ton shows the sentiment strongly in
favor of Bryan in Nebraska, but Mr..
Herrick considers that Kansas is in
the republican column to stay. He
doubts seriously whether the remain
ing strength of the democrats and
fusionists combined can change the
complexion. In 1896 the state was
carried by the populist movement by a
majority of about $1,000. Last year this
was overcome and the state gave a
majority of something like 5000 to the
republican candidate and the other re-
publican officers on the state ticket.
Mr.. Herrick says the corn crop this
year is the largest in the history Of
the state Good crops and fair prices
have placed the farmers in better po-
sition than for years past. Many
mortgages have been paid off and the
general sentiment throughout the state
is that the people can stand more of
the same sort of prosperity.
In Mr.. Herrick's opinion. the state of
prosperity is greater generally through
out the west than in the east, a strik-
ing result Of which is evident in the
increase in enrolment of educational
institutions and local contributions for
religious and educational work.
Mr.. Herrick considers the prohibitory
law more efficient in Kansas than in
the eastern states where the law has
been adopted. There is not an open
saloon in the city of Topeka, which
has population of about 100000 With
the exception Of towns along the Mis-
souri, river, the law is generally eff
fective, although Mr.. Herrick does not
say that a person who desires to get
liquor can not find it in most of the
cities and towns in the state. Mr..
Herrick leaves Worcester for Boston
tomorrow.
