No Colonial Secretary Yet Necessary.

There will be much gossip about
the form Of government for Porto
Rico and the Philippines Until con
gress finally settles the question.
The men in Washington who are
considering the subject will do
much talking about the way in
which we should manage the new
territory. But in the absence OF
the final deciding power from the
national capital no reports from
there are especially significant. Yet
two which have come are interest
ing. One is that the congressional
leaders are talking about the necess-
ity for new committee in the
house Of representatives, TO which
all questions arising in Cuba, Porto
Rico. Hawaii and the Philippines
may he referred, and the other is
that the members OF the cabinet
think that a new departemt should
be established to have charge OF
colonial affairs and foreign com
merce.
There will be much objection to
the term colonial and 1t will be
well founded. for the word il not
descriptive. Ii such department
is TO be established il might better
be called territorial and its head the
secretary Of territories. There
might be some conflict between him
and the secretary of the interior,
but if there i a desire to do busi-
ness rather than to get glory that
conflict would not be serious. But
ii may be many months before any
new cabinet bureau j. set up, even
if ii l. ever created. In the mean
time the war department i still in
existence. Government in the new
territory i military and will con
tinue 50 until changed by congress.
Generals Henry and Brooke are
successfully managing affairs IN
Cuba and Porto Rico under orders
from the department OF war and
they can continue their good work
for year or two, if need be, Or for
longer. 1t may be that it will be
found that the most satisfactory il
not the absolutely necessary form
of government for the next five
years will be military. In that
event it should be under the direc-
tion Of the military department.
The appointment OF a special
committee TO consider the affairs Of
the new territory il more likely
than the creation Of a new depart
ment. That committee, il appoint
ed, will practically decide what will
be done. If it concludes that we
are not yet ready to set up civil
government in Porto Rico it will
not report any bill to congress, and

THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.
The Minister Makes the Congregation.
and the Congregation the Minister.

Between minister and his con
gregation there is an action and a
reaction, so that the mini Ster makes
the congregation, and the congre-
CATION makes the minister. When
one speaks of minister service to
his people one is not thinking of
pew rents, and offertories, and sta
ti>tics, and crowd nor of schools,
and guilds, and classics, and lee
lures. The master vement Of
the minister is to form character
and to make men. The chief ques-
ton, therefore, to consider about a
minister's work is: What kind of
men has he made?
And one, at least, Of the most de-
cisive questions by which the mem
bers OF a congregation can be Judged
is What have they made OF their
minister? BY that one does not
mean what salary they may give
him, nor how agreeable they may
be to him, but how far he has be-
come a man and risen to his height
in the atmosphere of his congrega-
ton. Some congregations have
ruined ministers by harassing them
till they lost heart and self-control
and became peevish and ill-temper-
ed. Some congregations, again,
have ruined ministers by 80 humor.
ing and petting them that they could
endure no contradiction, and be-
came childish. That congregation
has done its duty most effectively
which has created an atmosphere so
genial, and yet SO bracing, that
every good in its minister has been
fostered, and everything petty
killed. Ian Maclarcr in the July

Christian Work Outside the Home.


Read by Mr.. Etta Green. of ireland. at th'
Dubois County Institute
Christian work out side the home
may be complicated. 1t may be g
interviewer with Christian home
work, that one can not seem TO ex-
isl without the other. The conse-
Grated Christian person, either man
or woman, whose daily lie l. IN
touch with the Master, can not fail
to exhibit a godly life before the
world. Christian work outside the
home may be as varied a II may be
lowly. The endowment OF col
lege may cost ats thousands. a

vote her lite TO relieving the suffer

that will develop their minds and

those who will, and we know of no

We should not give To be applauded
by the world, but for a higher reason.
Christ has said Give and il shall
be given unto you, and wa are
commanded to care for the little

home may be of many ways. God
does not consider alone the dollars
that are given to help the poor, and

give what Christ gave to the world,
His undying love and pity. We
can all give word of encourage

gift of Gods own Son, and Peace

Serious Charge Against Prosecutor Tray.
lor. and His Reply Thereto.

ior' anu Ills Nepiy ineTeto.
The Petersburg News Of last week
prints the following. The charge
that prosecutor shields alleged
yiolators OF law, by failing to have
the grand jury examine witnesses i
a serious one:
"Will prosecutor Traylor do his
duty in this matter or will he shield
Thompson from Indictment "a he
did short time ago? Some few
months ago we claimed in this paper
that Thompson had rented one OF
the rooms in which his Office was
located to couple Of parties to run
a poker Joint. Under their own
names the renters OF the room de
nied our charge and, OF course,
Thompson called Us all the liars he
could think of. But, strange to
say, the last grand jury indicted his
two renters for conducting a gam
bling den in the room Thompson
rented; but of course Thompson
has nothing to say about it. Not
withstanding a dozen or more names
were given the prosecutor concern
ing the matter, only one was com
PEELED to 90 before the grand jury
and testify, until one Of the grand
Jurors secured names of others. The
two men that rented the room were
Indicted, as We're also number OF
the players-but Thompson, who
rented his room for gambling den,
was allowed TO 60 free. The prose
.cutor's excuse for not indicting
Thompson was that he did not know
whether or not he could-which was
evidence that ne either purposely
shielded Thompson or he was lgnor
ant OF the law. The records OF the
Pike circuit court show that while
w. +. Cox was prosecutor men
were prosecuted and paid fines for
renting rooms for gambling pur-
poses. Mr. Trarlor, read l.. +.

 The closing chapters of the history of the administration of Samoa under the Ber- lin treaty are to be set out in a report which Judge Chambers has prepared and will submit to the secretary of state to- morrow.

Jackson, Miss, November 13.-Dr. R. K. Prewitt, populist candidate for governor in the recent election, threatens to make a contest of Judge Longfno's election on the grounds that llis nomina tion was illegal.
 In an open letter addressed to populist candidates and the executive committee of the peoples party, Prewitt says the dem- ocrats violated the primary election law in reference to the nomination of uhdr state tickets, section 3259 of the code requiring that mass meetings must be held in all counties on the same day, and that the democrats did not observe this feature of the primary law. He asks that meeting of the executive committee be held to con- sider the matter.
 When asked for an opinion on the sub ject tonight Governor McLaurin stated ul,at Dr. Prewitt's remonstrance Is ill+founded, as the democratic ticket was officially rec ognized by the state board of election com misisoners, was sent to the various coun- ties in due form and that the entire pro- ceedings were regular and dn strict form allty with the primary law.

 Colonel Hayes has captured Aguinaldo's secretary, and Major Coleman is in Carr ranglan, with an escort of 175 Bolomen, on his way to the province of Nueva Vdsaya.
 The son of General Llaneras and his fam fly are prisoners. The general barely es- capped.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press with General Young telegraphs from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not escape to the northeast. He and his army, the corre- spondent adds, are surrounded. His last orders to the Filipino commander at San Jose were to hold San Jose and Carran- glan at all costs.
 The recent encounters were too one-sfded to be called fights. The insurgents are mortally afraid of the Americans however strong their position. They make but brief and feeble resistance and run when the terrible American yell reaches their and slay many.

New York, November 13.-James J. Cor belt has challenged James J. Jeffries to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. Corbett deposited $5,00O to be covered by Jeffries in any way he sees fit. It may be taken as a wager or forfeit.
 Corbett, in his letter, states that he de- sires an immediate match, giving as a req son that he desires to begin prepara tions at an early date. Provided his money is cov- cred Corbett will meet Jeffrles on Novem- Der r and sign articles. In conclusion the former champion alludes to his meeting with Sharkey in which he claims to have stood off the sailor in nine rounds.
 When seen tonight Corbett said: 'T never was more serious in my life than I am about this. Many people believe that ] don't want to fight again, but this deposit of 5000 will settle all doubts would put up $10,0M but for one reason, and this Is when the fight comes off Jeffries will be the favorite in the betting.
