CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) SAYS:
voting machines were used in seven cities
and towns of New York last Tuesday, and
everywhere they won high praise for
speed and accuracy. At Ithaca, which
holds the record in this respect, the re-
turns from ten machines were gathered
and added up in seventeen minutes 1t
was found that the machines were not en-
tirely proof against fraud. Dishonest cleo
ton officials can tamper with them, and
in one case a machine was broken by an
ignorant voter, who geve the lever a pow
erful turn in the wrong direction; but it
is added that in no case did a citizen lose
his vote nor did any serious delay occur
The voting machines appear to be a great
success; but before they are adopted in
Philadelphia care should be taken to as
certain how many votes bogus election Of
ticers can ring up on them before the
polls are opened"
The Tammany Times Dem) of New
York says: The most striking result of
the elections in the West was that in Ne
braska. There can be no argument as TO
the meaning of the vote in Nebraska. The
fight was made on national issues and
Notwithstanding the fact that the state is
normally Republican, it gave handsome
majority for Bryan and the principles
which he so ably represents. The Demo,
cratic leader may well be pleased. His
Endorsement is clear and unmistakable
Mckinley received the Endorsement of a
minority in Ohio. Bryan is indorsed by
an emphatic majority in Nebraska. Which
is the more desirable?"
The Richmond Dispatch Dem) says:
AT the beginning of the fiscal year there
were in the United States exactly 5000
postofiices. a net increase of 1,430. The
number of postmasters exceeds by some
thing like 1900 the number of soldiers
this government will have in the Philip
pines by the first Of next year. We trust,
however that these postmasters win be
more successful in licking stamps than
the soldiers have been in licking the Fill
pinos."
The Americus (Ga) Times Recorder
Dem) says There are too many cleo
tons. If Georgia only had these distract
ing nusances every six or eight years it
would be all the better for the commercial
interests of the entire people."

it may fall vastly below them. In
fact, some authorities put China's

case with Great Britain, about 27.5.-

sway being inhabitants of India.

A DESIRE TO ENTERTAIN

A little newspaper whirlwind re-
Gently started up around the pulpit
of DR.. Hills, the present pastor of
the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
the occasion being a series of even
ing sermons based on certain we'll
known books of fiction, as, for ex-
ample, the novels of Victor Hugo,
George Eliot, and Ruskin. DR..
Theodore l.. Cuyler gave the
breeze turn by protesting against
a tendency to abandon the Bible as
the sole textbook for the pulpit,
and the newspapers let go blast
which sends it whirling about the
heads of all the would be entertain
ing pulpitors Of the wide world.
OF course fiction" in its best
meaning, is legitimate mode of
imparting religious truth; Our
Lords parallels abound in fiction;
and book reviews are as much
easier than preaching, as they are
more entertaining than dry and
prosy theological disquisitions.
What is of the first Importance is.
that preachers shall not forget their
calling to produce in their hearers
a spiritual effect, and that the
church shall not become a play
house or the pulpit a stage. The
desire to entertain should never
tempt the preacher to substitute
for the Gospel book-review. how
ever pleasing.

The Stars went first to the bat

also Bryan. Elston's pickups and

pitcher of the Artillery boys, sent
three brilliant Stars to the bench

that the report of the commission is an
absolutely truthful representation of

moment since the first gun was fired
that the United States could have with
drawn from the islands and the reasons
set forth in the report as to why per-
manent American control is essential
are, in my opinion, immovable. There
is no other alternative. That the Tag
alos are realizing it, is shown by the
rapid disintegration from Aguinaldo's
ranks. The later advices show very
decided improvement in the situation.

war. In fact, firmly believe that the

and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.

day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits

PEELED to give up and go to bed On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone 1 felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanatiye Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
