RELIGIOUS kNrHusIAs N.

There was genuine outburst of re-
ligioGs enthusiasm at Carnegie Hall,
New York, Sunday, under the contag-
eous inspiration of Rev. DR.. A. B.
Simpson, whose work is in aid of the
Christian and Missionary Alliance.
There was an immense audience, a
large choir, and several rows or prom
inent ministers on the stage. The pro-
ceedings are reported by wire in this
wise:
DR. Simpson began by telling OF worn-

Late kilograms from South Africa
make it possible TO outline the plan OF
the Boer advance south into Natal and
the Cape Colony with almost complete
exactitude, and study of the map
shows that the forward movement has
been undertaken with great skill and
judgment.
On the west frontier of the Trans
vaal, where it adjoins Bechuanaland,
the Beers have advanced upon Mate-
king aud probably have it surrounded.
while another Beer force has advanced
into British territory south Of Mafe-
king and between that town and vry-
burg, threatening both places, and cut
ting the railroad and telegraph, which
constitutes the English line of COM
munieations. Still further south an
other Boer force has surrounded and
besieged Kimberley. and a fifth Boer
army has crossed the Vaal river and Is
at Philippstown. in Cape Colony. The
English forces have thus been well $50
lated on the western frontier and their
communications apparently hopelessly
broken, for the time being. In North

a MALopoRoUs LEADER.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Only three years have passed since Mr..
Hanna thrust himself into prominent lead
ership, and yet he has become master of
corruption. Tweed was more than a de-
cade in gaining his power over a political
organization The ablest and most venal
politician known to the past history of our
century never acquired an almost absolute
power over the administration such as Mr..
Hanna holds. His effacement is certainly
much to be desired, but that is not all the
people ask. His method must also be eff
faced. More, they must be rooted out and
cast into Gehenna from which they came
The people must declare that they will not
only destroy the boss" but that they will
not permit his methods to prevail or an
attempt be made to use them.

CURRENT CONSENT.
WHAT rs HURTING MOST.

New York Evening Post.
Everybody knows that the chief object
of the Officers carrying on the Philippine
war IS not to hurt Mckinley. My IN
structions = said the Manila censor, ARE 10
shut off everything that could hurt Nc
Kanlsyss administration. "Of course the
censor explained to the protesting news
paper correspondents, I'VE all know that
we are in terrible mess out here. but we
don't want the people 10 get excited about
it." You see, If the dear people were once
to get excited about it they might begin
to say things about the matchless leader
who got the army and the country in the
terrible mess. So the countersign of the
whole army is. DO nothing to hurt Nc
kinney Yet it is undeniabie that, in spite
of all these sedulous efforts to keep our
fragile President wrapped in cotton wool,
he has been seriously hurt by his Philip
pine war. When we speak of hurting
man like Mckinley we mean, of course,
hurting him politically. His moral feel
ings. his sympathy, his pride, his patriot
ism-these things have nothing to do with
the case. The only pang in question is
political hurt which has anew started the
President on his travels into good Repub-
lican regions where he is credibly in
formed, the people, Notwithstanding the
zeal of the censor, are getting excited
about the terrible mess in the Philippines.
What do the shrill cries Of alarm from Ohio
mean, if not that Mckinley is in danger of
being hurt?
