ason and free silver platform.
On his way from Manila he y rest

Ion upon tAe subject Of the Philippines
He h In no way responsible for the
seizure OF the islands. He obeyed or

ing free to advise that they be retained

xneQuiyocally In favor Of holding them.
aSd his opinion therefore should have
great weight.
Admiral Dewey says: II have the
greaGest enthusiasm ip the future Of
the Philippines: I hope to see in
American possession the key to orr
entail commerce and civilization The
brains Of our great country viii develop
the untold agricultural and mineral re-
sources OF the isiands We must never

This II the opinion Of q man who
fought TO acquire them, and has had

task. He has borne q great burden; he
has experienced the anxIeties and an

brought TO condition when they can
assume for themselves the task Of gov

II should be observed by the people
that Admiral Dewey. Notwithstanding
the talk and acts OF men like Edward
Atkinson. seems TO have considerable
faith In the brains Of the American
people. The old hero. worn out by the
long strain placed upon him, having
gone through experiences which would
make most men despair. still talks
proudly Of "the brains Of our great
country"
II II refreshing TO listen to such Ian

after having had to submit to the
puSillanimous advice OF weakened
critics OF the administration who had
neither the ingenuity to devise a better

administration need not fear that the
people OF the United States win not In
dorse all that Admiral Dewey has said.

pairs being made on the interior OF

While number of our congrega-

health is much improved and with re-
turning fair weather we sincerely hope
to see all fnlly restored and in their
accustomed places in the sanctuary.
In responce to a special appeal
from the Home Mission Board an eff
fort will be made throughout the en-
tire church to wipe out the debt
which has crippled this work for sew
eral years. Our Presbyterial Com

asked from this Presbytery and hope
our church will contribute at least $33.
In compliance with their request a
special collection will be taken Sab

latest date we can use before the
books of this Board are closed.
Let us do our full part in paying
this debt, especially as. we have the

ever again arise, the officers having
pledged themselves to make appro.
priations strictly according to contri-
