antee of protection to property by the
natives, has been issued over the sigma
ture of more than score of prominent
men.
The preamble describes the attitude OF
this government and of President Mckin-
ley toward the F'ilipinos before and since
the war and asserts that there is no reason
for change of opinion on the part OIL the
anti-imperialistS, and on the contrary every
reason for continuance OF the protest
against the spirit of militarism and force,
and they therefore urge cooperation TO
the following ends: First, that our govern
ment take immediate steps toward sus-
pension of hostilities in the Philippines and
a conference with the Philippine leaders,
with view to preventing further blood
shed upon the basis of a recognition OF
their freedom and independence as soon
as proper guarantees can be had OF oroer
and protection to property.
Second-That the government OF the
United States shall tender an official as
surance to the inhabitants of the Philip
pine islands that they will encourage and
assist in the organization of such gov
eminent in the islands as the people there-
of shall prefer and that upon it's organiza-
ton in stable manner the United States
in accordance with its traditional and pre-
scribed policy in such cases will recognize
the independence of the Philippines and Its
equality among nations, and gradually
withdraw all naval and military forces.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Trusts and Hotel Men.

The hotel keepers throughout the
country are being alarmed over the
rapid growth of trusts as affecting
their business.
On account of cutting down ex-
penses which is the avowed purpose
of the formation of trusts there is a
perceptible falling off in the army of
drummers. 1t is estimated that since
the beginning of the trust movement
$4,000 selling agents have been dis.
placed. When the element Of COM
petition is no longer present there is
no occasion for pushing the sale of
goods by commercial travellers. The
tobacco trust, which has discharged
large number of travelling men is an
instance. The trust has cut off its
travellers and its advertising, needing
neither.
The trust is the greatest foe to that
vital principle of good government
the greatest good to the greatest
number.-Des Moines News.

MAY SHAKE THE CHURCH..

The Inerrancy of the Scriptures Attabked
by Prominent New York Methodists.
New York, March 8.-That the sin
e rrancy and infallibility of the Bible
are no longer possible of belief among
reasoning men," This proposition was
urged in all force, sincerity and en-
thusiasm by Rev. s. P. Cadman, pas
tor of the Metropolitan Temple, be-
fore the regular weekly meeting of
the Methodist ministers of New York.
Four hundred of the leading minis
ters of New York and it's vicinity, in
Guiding the popular Edward q. An
drews, were present when Mr.. Cad
mans paper was read. He was ap-
plauded when he got through.
The. acceptance of DIR. Cadman's
proposition, heard With respect and
applause by the New York ministers,
is comparable to the suggestions of a
new constitution for the United
States. 1t traces the Bible on the
basis of historical works on other than
divine SUBJECTS; 1t rejects the anthem
ticity of all parts of the holy scrip
lures which are repugnant to human
reason. The speaker referred chiefly
to the Old Testament, half of whose
pages, he said, were of unknown au-
thorship. The New Testament, like
wise, contained contradictions. The
bible, the church, the ministry, he
said, were agencies. The true source
of inspiration was neither a book, nor
a church, nor ministry, but the liv-
ing Christ himself.
1t is the first announcement of an
impending controversy which may
shake the Methodist church to its
foundation,

Danger.

The steel trust has just purchased
q plant that has been idle for three
years. That is one feature of the
trust movement that is likely to
make credulous investors. sorry that
they bit at the trust bait.-Cleveland
Leader.
The loading down of the market
with watered stock of the trusts is
the only menace on the horizon Of
the present prosperity. The trusts
have bought broken down plants
throughout the country that have
been unable, some of them at least,
to meet competition and have foated
large amount of bonds that must of
necessity fail to pay good dividends.
There is plethora of money in the
country and large quantities of it are
going into these trust stocks. This
new species of speculation bodies no
good to the country.-Des Moines
