In Hanover county, Va, there is a
stone church that was built in 174O.
1t is called the venerable mother of
Presbyterianism in Virginia."
Mckinley organs seek to make it ap-
pear that Admiral Dewey favors the
Philippine war. If he does he has rep
udiated his views, his condemnation ex-
pressed at Hong Kong and in England.
We suspect he is slandered.
The hurrah in Yankeedoodledom over
Dewey, however great is not equal to
that given to a British hero when he
receives $3.50, 900 and a b~aronetcy. That
is heavier than any sword thinks the
Pittsburg (Pa.) Chronicle.
Mr.. Warren T. Rogers, of Colorado,
tells the Washington Post, Mckinley
organ, that Mr.. Bryan may not win
in 1900, but he will get support of the
three political elements that united on
him in 1896"
Even the Dewey craze in New York
| could not stop the rush Of business in
this country. 1t did paralyze New
York city however. Dunn's Review
says:
1.-The grand demonstration in honor
of Admiral Dewey effectually stopped
business of most kinds for two weeks
at the chief city of the country"
The people elsewhere retained their
| senses and attended to business prop
erly.

ENGLISH ESSIONS OF AMERI.
CAN SOBRIETY.

h drunkenness beyond seas, in
relate. According to foreigners the So
briefly of the Americans is something
to be amazed at, and yet there is a
vast amount Of drunkenness, and an
amount of beer, whiskey, etc, consum-
ed in a year is enough to make a mil
lion people rich, and If all was applied
to the evangelization of the world
would keep hundreds of thousands of
men and women at work in the foreign
fields. The Washington Post has this:
"I have been travelling in the Unit
ed States for the past three months
and have marveled at the extraordi-
nary sobriety of the Americans as
compared with the people of Europe
said Mr.. Thomas r. Newton, of Lon
don, at Chamberlain'S. L haven't seen
three intoxicated men during my en-
tire ~sojourn in the states, and I have
come to the conclusion that you are
the most temperate people in the world.
In the dining rooms Of your hotels the
fewest number of guests order spirits
of any kind with their food, while in
Europe the man who doesn't drink
When ne eats is an exception. Among
the working classes of England and
the continent drunkenness is very
prevalent, and on Sundays and holi-
| days the adult male population Of the
towns finds it's chief pleasure in get
ting more or less inebriated.'"
Tha reminds us of a conversation
| we had with an intelligent, compan-
ionable young Englishman we knew
we'll in Raleigh in 1873. After three
months residence there we asked him
what impressed him most among the
people of North Carolina. He came
from his home directly to Norfolk, Va,
and had never seen the north. He said
three things had astonished him. First,
the great social, accessible qualities OF
the people. Why" he said to us, "it
| you were to go to my town 10000 in
! h%abitants) with letters to the best peo-
pie, you could mo- know personally in
five years as many people as I now
know in three months in Raleigh" The
| second thing was the sobriety Of the
men. He said, I'm my boarding house
there are eleven men,. the Oldest not
more than forty-five. 1 know them all,
and their habits. OF the eleven, nine
never touch drinks of any kind, and OF
the two but one will ever take a Sec
ond drink. In all England you could
not possibly find five men in any house
that half of them do not drink. and
some of them to great excess" The
third thing that amazed him was, as he
learned it from the young men he knew
personally, was the purity of the young
women. AS to drinking, we have ar
impression that in 1899 it is much
greater than twenty-six, years since.

INSTRUCTIVE CHURCH STATISTICS.

The Quadrennial Pan-Presbyterian
Council has been in session in Wash

many eminent scholars and distin-
guished divines in attendance. The
next Council will meet in 1904 in Liver
pool. The southern delegates seem to
hold their own we'll. In reading an
editorial in the Charlotte Presbyterian
Standard we were interested particu-
larry when the following incident oc-
Cured: 1T was with some degree OF
pride that we noted DR.. Stricken

the Bible a Northern Presbyterian re-
marked audibly, He is from Richmond.

we are. You see they have not set the

radicals, to whom he evidently did not
belong"

to do justice to Poe, and especially IL
self-admirers. It will be recalled by
readers of The Messenger that within
a few weeks, this paper copied from a
leading Boston paper on the retire
ment Of DR.. Walter n. Page, because
he was not lone of them" and had al
lowed some writer for The Atlantic
Monthly to write rather ~fippantly OF
the literary god in the New England
pantheon of supposed immortals. So
doubling the ability of a northern man
praise, we would have preferred that
some southern man OF gifts-Allen, of
Kentucky, or Joel Chandler, Of Georgia,
or Alderman, of North Carolina, or
some finely gifted Virginian or some
other man of equal parts from some
other southern state should have por-
trayed the true character n life Of
the most rarely endowed son of genius
among all Americans and have set
forth in fine phrasing the r analysis
of his mind and it's afiuent and deli
cate mintage. This view may not
strike others. but of that we are in
different. We know that for quite a
half century-Poe died in Baltimore in
1S49-he has been the most bitterly
slandered and most cruelty dissected
author of American birth. Poe was not
a native of Virginia, but attended its
noble University.

HONORED AFTER FIFTY YEARS

American poet a lain in his grave
for fifty years, have honored him. A
beautiful marble bust of Edgar Allan
Poe was unveiled at the University OF
Virginia on last Saturday with fitting
ceremonial. We would have been glad
III a southern speaker had been chosen
instead of the northern man who
spoke. II Longfellow or Holmes, En-
erson or Lowell were to be honored In
Boston no man of the south would be
selected to do the speaking. We know
that letters should nave no national
barriers and should be neither sectional
nor ~sectarian, but this country is ex-
ceptional. For an hundred years there
have been strong antagonisms between
the south and north, and the our years
of gigantic wal did not make them love
each other more. A southern speaker
