A BLOW AT FIGHTING PARSONS.

1t would have been strange indeed if
DR.. Parkhurst of New York had not put
his oar into the Philippine puddle He
has something to say on about every ques-
ton that comes before the public. In his
sermon last Sunday he said his say about
our efforts to make the Filipnos accept
our rule. He did not criticise the govern
ment for the course it is pursuing in the
Philippines, but he took occasion to score
the preachers who have Insisted that
Christianity shall be taken to the Filipi-
nos on the point of the bayonet Accord
ing to his view men under the Gospel re-
gme are saved by love. and cold steel is
poor conductor. Among other things
he said: by carrying schools and arts,
trade and manufactures, among peoples
that are now savage, you may be able
to refine the quality of their deviltry, but
that is not the first step towards making
angels or even saints of them. Christian
ty is never so safe and so powerful as
when 1t is unprotected, and evangelization
which depends for its good spirits upon
soldiers and gunboats has no future
Clearly Dr. Parkhurst does not think
that 1t is our duty to conquer the Filipi-
nos in order 10 Christianize them. 1t is
noticeable, however, that the ministers
are not urging the need of Christianity in
the Philippines as the reason why we
should continue our military operations
there for the subsection of the natives so
earnestly as they did at one time. Carry
ing the Gospel on the points of bayonets
is not as. popular apparently as 1t once
was. There is more blood letting than it
was thought there would be.

WHY rs ITf

Why is it that the tackles have not
complained of the canned roast beef? Not
a word has come from the navy as far as
we have heard in condemnation of canned
roast beef. And yet it Is stated that for
thrty-seyen years canned roast beef has
been a ration in the navy. Ii is also as
serted that the identical kind of canned
roast beef that was served to Shafter's
army at Santiago was served to the men
in the squadrons of Sampson and Schley,
and to the men under Dewey who destroy
ed the Spanish fleet at Manila.
IL does seem little curious that no
complaint has come from the navy. A
writer in the New York Sun says that
once in a while on shipboard a can of
roast beef becomes spoiled, and that the
stencil from it is simply horrible, but that
it is thrown overheard, and that is all
there is of the matter. Can it be possi-
BILE that a brand of canned roast beef is
purchased for the navy that is better than
that purchased for the army? That is a
question which the court of inquiry ought
to ask for If the beef supplied to the
navy is the same as that which is served
TO the army 1t is curious that no COM
plants of it have come from the navy.

1t is understood-and Sir Walter Besant
is said to be responsible for the under
standing-that' Rudyard Kipling is to be
raised to the peerage by Queen Victoria
on Jan. l, 1901. and that his title is to be
Lord Kipling of Vermont" The latter
part of the title is to come to him ''by
the kind permission of the President. the
Congress and the universal folkmote of
the United States, in recognition of the
services he has rendered to the Anglo
Saxon race" The probabilities are that
Mr.. Kipling does not care three straws
about the peerage, and whether he be-
comes lord or not. Al the same time
Sir Walters statement throws out a sug-
gestion as to how an American nobility
or rather a string of American titles.
might be obtained for the qualification of
American heiresses who dote on that sort
of thing. Mr.. Aston has done several
notable things in both Great Britain and
America; could he not be male FORD AS
tor of New York? And there is Mr.. Carne-
gle; could he not be made Baron Carne-
gle of Pittsburg? Edison, and Rockefeller
and w. D. Howells, and others that might
be mentioned. would seem to be fair sub
jects for Anglo-American titles which
would of course, descend to their sons.

Should the state legislatures now in dead
lock upon the matter of senatorial cleo

seats in the Senate would have to remain
vacant until the next meeting of the leg

point ad interim senators. The constitu-

in the case of Corbett, from Oregon, de-
clared that Governor could not appoint

to elect. The Senate, being a stickler for
precedent, would therefore refuse to seat
any man appointed under similar circum-

Admiral Schley energies from the naval
controversy better than some of his friends
hoped for. Under the new navy person.
mel act there are eighteen rear admirals
and it is provided that the first nine of
them shall have the rank and pay of ma
jor generals in the army, and the other
nine the rank and pay of brigadier gen.
erals Rear Admiral Dewey was made
an admiral just in time for Schley to be
advanced TO a place among the first nine.
Admiral Sampson, who is two numbers
below Schley, is in the second nine Thus
Admiral Schley will receive $500 a year
pay and have equal rank with the major
generals. while Admiral Sampson will re-
ceive $500 a year and rank with the
brigadiers. Speaking of this controversy,
by the way, brings up the defeat of Con-
gresham Barrows of Massachusetts for
the office Of librarian of Congress. 1t
seems that there should be no connection
between two such widely differing mat
tiers; but it appears there was. Congress-
man Barrows (who. by the way, is
preacher). had been suggested to the
President for the position by Secretary
Long. 1t is said that Schley's partisans
in the Senate determined to strike at the
secretary over Mr.. Barrows' shoulder,
hence refused to confirm him as librarian.
