UNITARIAN CHURCH.

At the Soma Opera House Boz
Sc Sunday evening Rev. Garlic
ton Brown of Helena, delivered
the first Unitarian address in this
State. Mr.. Brown gave the
.Statcsmauthe following statement
of the church: "Perhaps a word
of explanation as to the organic
alton and principles of the Uni
tartan church may be of interest.
There are now some 600 Of these
liberal churches established in all
the important cities and towns of
the United States. 1t has includ-
ed in it membership such eminent
persons as Emerson, Theodore
Parker, Longfellow, Lowell, Oil
yer Wendell Holmes, Daniel
Webster, George William Curtis,
Mary Livermore, Julia Ward
Howe, Edward Everett Hale and
Secretary of the Navy Long.
These churches or societies, as
they more frequently call them
selves, have no creed to which
they ask assent, but throw open
their doors to all who will join
with them in the search for truth
and the helping of humanity.
AS an example | might quote the
Bond Of Union of the society in
Helena: in the freedom Of the
truth and the spirit of love, we
whose names are hereunto sub :
scribed, associate ourselves to-
gether as the first Unitarian Soci-
ETY. of Helena, for the worship of
God and the service of man.
No matter how orthodox a man
may be in his opinions, nor if on
the other hand he be free-think-
er he is not excluded from the fell
lowship of Unitarian society,
which asks only that men be hon
est in their own convictions and
DESTROYS of serving their fellow
men.
In every community of 10000
people there are large number
who are kept outside the ortho-
dox churches by their
liberal views on religious ques-
tons. 1t is more especially 10
these people who are denied the
shelter of other church roofs, that
the Unitarian and Universalists
societies bring their message of
freedom and universal brother
hood.

MCKINLEY AND BRYAN.

In the current issue of the
Literary Digest is quoted, from
the Chicago Times-Herald, an
uncomprising Republican paper,
a tribute to w. J. Bryan, which it
recognizes as an advance agent of
that fairness and generosity in
politics which will eventually sup
plant narrow and prejudiced par
tisanship. The Times Herald
says:
"The same day that ex-govern-
or Hogg was carrying Tammany
by storm with his reference to
Bryan, Mr.. Bryan himself was re-
Ceived with tremendous en-
thusiasm both at Atlanta and at
GAINESVILLE, Ga. Everywhere it
is the same story. The man seems
to have suffered not at all in the
esteem of the masses of his fol-
lowers because of his defeat in
1896. True, he has found in
several states that the Democratic
party leaders consider the silveris-
sue a disastrous one, and in those
states the popular vote would GER
tainty. be hostile to his silver pol
icy, but he is always meet with
manifestations of an almost fan
atical personal loyalty. Very few
American politicians have been
the objects of such general or in
tense devotion.
"What then will explain this
extraordinary phenomenon? 1t
may be referred to a combination
Of causes, each potent in its way.
Mr.. Bryan has character, sincerity,
a winning personality, intellectual
brilliancy, eloquence, and the ele-
ments are so mixed in him as to
produce the best possible effect.
He is, besides, the leading ex-
ponent of a principle which gives
him a remarkable influence where
the principle is held, while his
character, gifts, and attainments
secure him the liking of people
who regret the principle.
cat one time there was a very
natural disposition to ascribe his
prestige to a single speech, but
the speech was merely his OPP
portunity. Since delivering it he
has proved his powers as an orator
many times, and he has stood the
closer scrutiny of the public,
which is attracted but not domi-
mated by oratory. We have
known men even more brilliant on
the platform who never got be
yond the part of performers in a
campaign show. With all their
ability they could not command
respect because they did not pos

ADVANCES IN OUR NEW POSSES
SIONS,


The American spirit which is
revealing itself in Porto Rico,
Cuba and Hawaii is gratifying to
this country, and will bring up
some interesting questions. The
later mail news from these three
localities shows that the Fourth
Of July was celebrated in all of
them with enthusiasm which was
hardly expected in this country
All of them, of course, knew
what the associations and tradi-
tons of that day meant. To all
of them ii has, in different ways
given a liberty and position in
the world which the citizens of
none of them anticipated would
come so early.
Americans are masters of the
art of state making. They have
been settling up governments in
the wilderness for the past cen
fury and a third, ever since the
little Watauga Association, in
what is now part of Tennessee,
was established in 1869, the first
political regime erected by men
of American birth west of the
Alleghanies. No people of the
world have had such long and
diversified experience in the work
of devising political authority
under which order could be main
tanned and life and property made
secure. They have constructed
all sorts of governments, from the
social compacts which bound
handfuls of settlers in the little
stockaded villages Of the Holston
and the Cumberland, on to. the
creation of great nation now
comprising $4,000, 900 people.
The manifestations of Ampri-
can ideas and aspir ltions in Porto
Rico, Cuba and Hawaii will bring
up the subject of state making,
however, in a new aspect. The
condition in these islands are diff
ferent from those which prevailed
in the settlement of the mainland
of the United States. Here the
men constituting the new COM
munities were always predomi-
natcly of American birth or Of
American education and ideas.
In the country's island dependen-
cies, on the other hand the majority
ofresidents are in a considerable
degree, alien to American notion.

as a new world, with its myriads
to be clothed and fed, TO be edu-
Gated in wants, to be cultivated in
arts, to be elevated in civilization.
Considering these things, he says:
allow is it possible that any
thoughtful citizen Of the gulf
states should listen with patience
to the vaporings of lot of political
adventures, who blind to their
claims upon a thinking people,
would set up against them a hud-
die ofhair- splitting theories about
the Monroe doctrine and the con-
stitution Of the United States?
What should we think of Jeffer-
son if, ignoring the practical adj
vantage he had, on the grounds
of constitution or other scruples,
he had lost the chance to buy
Louisiana of Napoleon? What
will be thought of us a century
hence if, through fear of trouble
or any other fear we yield the
vantage ground which all unbid-
den has come to us, vainly seek
ing retention of the bucolic re-
public of Washington and Frank
lin, which has already gone from
us beyond recall? The globe is
shutting up like telescope, and,
through the smaller end, one can
see farther than Jefferson saw
through the larger. Manila is

Every year the world gets smaller,
Yet the gulf states of the south
have stood apart, seeing the mar
rowing stream quite pass them by,
and just as the great ocean out

Penny-trumpeters to toot the old
Gant about the consent of the

not consider it when the enlarge
ment of his countlywa involved,
and to drone aboI CO stitutional
forms, which at no time, stood
against the expanding desires or
practical needs of a people essen
tally enterprising and progressive.
"The twentieth century will be
given over to a great commercial
battle between the nations, and
law of the universe will read the
survival of the fittest. In all
these possible incidents and trans
actions the gulf states have but
subordinate interest. Their bea-
con light IS the Nicaragua canal,
and the tranfer of the activities of
the Atlantic to the Pacific; this
transfer is inevitable. All that

the American people desire in
their political leaders of the presi-
dental class.
"Mr Bryan is clean Of speech
and act. He has nothing to ex-
plain. He is honest in his con-
victions. What he lacks most is
a lively humor, and this some
times does a politician more harm
than good, as S. S. Cox used 10
confess ruefully. Much as Ameri-
cans enjoy joke, they prefer a
serious man in high places. When
therefore, all things are taken in
to account, it is clear why Mr..
Bryan is popular, and no one
should now feel disposed to
grudge him the position he now
has won. Whether he may sue
coed in commencing his political
ideas to the voters of the country
is another question"
The Atlanta Constitution
strongly Democratic, sees in this
tribute growth of the spirit that
"permits the recognition of the
true merits of men in public life,
regardless of party affiliations"
and, as a further illustration of it
continues: "The era should be
welcomed in which the Republi-
can Times Herald can say such
pleasant things of Mr.. Bryan, and
when the Democratic Constitution
feels no hesitancy in saying equal
ly as much for the personal char
acter and qualification of MIR. Nc
Kinley. All this, too, without
sacrifice of political opinion by
either" In this connection, it is
fitting to make the following
quotations from an article in
the Frank Leslie Monthly, which
contains a tribute to the personal
qualities of President Mckinley
that have so endeared him to the
American people. The writer
says:
"There are always men willing
to undertake the mighty RESPONSE
bilities and vexations devolving
upon the president of the United
States, but it does not follow that
they can discharge them success
fully. Mr.. Mckinley has come
nearer to doing so than any other
president since Abraham Lin
coin. Before his term expires,
however, he may require the
wisdom of Solomon to guide us
through the labyrinth of ques-
tons now arising, and which we
have hitherto known not of. The
loyalty of the whole nation has
doubtless stimulated his endurance
and lightened his burden.
"That he has conscientiously
sought so to conduct affairs that
the greatest good might follow
to the greatet number of people,
no honest person has doubted.
Many have watched with equally
earnest solicitude lest his judgment
might err; but no final dissapoint-
ment in the result of his action has

manship, tactful handling of deli
cate situations, and answering
fidelity to duty, have made him
