1T is all very we'll this talk about
sending heroes and fighting men to the
front in the Philippines, but if we have
any idea about discipline it is that if a
man be sent to the front, be he a gen.
eral or a private in the ranks, it is his
business and duty to go where is told
and to do what he is ordered. There
is little too much of disposition on
the part of some of the men, widely
advertised as generals, to go to Manila
with the idea that they are the whole
thing. Otis may not be the man to
command the American forces in the
Philippines, but as long as he is COM
mander, the officers and soldiers of the
army are subject to his orders and
should obey them, and keep their
mouths shut.

CONGRESSMAN EDDY, who has tray
eled across the continent from Boston
to Seattle, says that the question of
expansion will be the issue of the next
presidential campaign. Mr.. Eddy is a
close student and observer of political
conditions and his opinion has great
weight. He says that he finds few
people talking on the money question
but everyone is discussing "what will
be the outcome of the Philippine
war;" with great earnestness. He
says: "The sentiment of the country,
in my opinion and from the observa.
lions have made, is overwhelmingly
in favor Of maintaining American SUI.
premacy over every foot of territory
which came to US as a result Of the war
with3Spain. / The anti-expansionists ol
the east have really done President
Mckinley a good turn by their calum.
nations. For they have aroused the
sentiment of the people, and made an
issue that will be settled IN the presi.
dental election next year, and settled
right, as every question involving
American dignity and honor has al
ways been settled when submitted to
the voters.' ,..s=t IL

THERE is a good deal Of discussion
and agitation concerning the appor.
tionment of delegates to the next State
convention, and it has been said that
it would have been an Injustice tc
many Of the counties to base the rep.
resentation on the vote for governor
in 1898, as that would largely lessen
the representation in some of the coun.
ties. Come to think of it, is there a
county in the State whose representa-.
ton wouldn't suffer by such an appor.
tionment? In other words is there q

look upon John D. Rockefeller as a

the compositor set it, ''skins," the

confessed that it has changed in; some

new location this week and patrons of
this store will hereafter find Mr.. Mark
in the Townsend building occupying
the east room formerly occupied by
the Princeton Hardware company.
This store started three or four years
ago with a small stock in the little
building opposite the starch factory,
but by giving the people good bargains
and treating all fairly soon secured an
excellent patronage. The stock has
been steadily increased and this fall
the old building was found to be en-
tirely too small. In the new location
the management has secured a much
larger room splendidly lighted and
this week large consignment of new
goods is being put upon the shelves.
The store makes speciality of shoes,
all grades for all people, clothing and
gentlemen's furnishing goods Those
who are not already patrons should

THE VAUGHAN REVIVAL.
A Deep Interest Has Been Awak-
ened by These Meetings.

The revival services at the First NJ
F. Church South are being continued
with increased interest. The pastor,
Rev. W. E. Vaughan, at the close of
yesterday mornings service, announced
that four persons had been received
into the church.
The evening service was attended by
a large congregation. The music was
of a high order, and the singing by the
choir was excellent. Rev Mr. Vaughan
took for his subject, Satanic Power,
and his ideal devil was widely different
from the one generally accepted. He
pictured Satan as a plausible, seductive
fellow who might be met with every
day, and who lured his victims into
sinful ways. The sermon was replete
with logical reasoning, and was con-
vincing and full of power.
The revival will be continued and
meetings held each evening. The
pastors zeal has awakened a deep in
terest, and excellent results are mani
fest
