POST Dispatch; The senate used to
be the greatest legislative body Ia the
world. II was looked to for guidance
in America, and in Europe the debates
we're studied for the light they shed on
the political principles which the public
men Of the old world were trying to
work out. Webster, Calhoun. Clay
and Benton, Seward, Sumner and
Davis were second to none among the
statesmen of the world, and they made
America respected as the home Of
political force and intelligence. Since
the war, however, the senate has been
the battle-ground Of special interests,
each striving 20 use the government for
special purpose. The common interest,
the public good, has Jared badly with
the promoters who have filed the
chairs once honOred by public spirits,
true citizens.

St. Louis Christian Advocate: The
ssEagery of Spanish rule IN the Philip
pines Is illustrated BY the frequent
inquiries made By the native residents
Of Manila, Of American soldiers and
officers conserving the time when the
prisoners are to be executed. Accus-
tened 20 Spanish methods, they have
no other idea than that the prisoners
will be shot Ia platoons IS o As
the Americans can spare time from
military operations to parade a large
number of troops and make . gala day
in the city. Crowds Of women and old
people throng the headquarters Of the
commanding general TO plead for the
lives Of husbands, brothers and sons,
aud it is exceedingly disicul. to con-
vince the supplisnts that the Americans
have no intention at ell Of killing the
prisoners. They do not believe such
lenieney is possible and regard the
as simply an excuse to get
md Of their prayers aud importantly.
Such a people deserve pity. and ell the
that those more fortunately
situated can render them, should be
given.

censunng this Government for iis
~Indrherence to the coontrys troobles.
Seuor Anun, In seconding the
motion, denounced the Ministry fsf
accepting the war through fear Of the
Carlisl., and declared that the eoontTy
was now suffering the consequences Of
the governments pusillAnimity. He
proceeded to detail the lack Of prepa'
ration aud OF war materials, aud
charged the government with response
bIhty for the surrander Of Santiago,
(which they ordered. although the gar
rison there numbered $4,000 and there
was sufficient provisions in the place
for three months"
This declaration created = sensation.
In proof that the government vas
responsible for the surrender Of Cuba,
Senior AnniS read kilograms from Senior
Sagasta aud Lieutenant General CorreA
to General BlancO, ordering the surren-
der Of Cuba As . means OF saving Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and preserv-
lag order In the peninsula. He also
read Genersl Blanco's telegram 10
reply, opposing the surrender. but
agreeing to obey the governments
order.
Senior Annix added that President
Mckinley had telegraphed to General
Skater that the surrender Of Santiago
had been arranged with the Madrid
government, and that. Therefore. he
must make 3 sort OF sham attack.
Captain Aunon, minister OF marine,
interposed at this point. saying that be
believed this story to be incorrect.
whereupon Senior Annix repeated the
statement that Premier Sagasta had
ordered the surrender Of Cuba in order
to save the monarchy.

Missions have been planted by the

number more will be sent out this year.
The annual offering in all the
churches of this communion for foreign
missions is the first Sunday in March.
The church In this place may be counted
upon to do Its full part.
We are reminded OF the rapid growth
OF this religious body. In only about rs
years this people have come TO number
more than 100000 communicates In
MS country alone. Last year they
made a gain of no less than 5O.OOO. and
their war cry this year is a gain OF lOO,.
600 They have more than | OOOO
churches and about 6,OOO ministers
They are building up a number Of splen-
did educational institutions in different
parts OF the country. Last year for ali
missions they raised more than $500. OOO.
They are calling for 81, OOO, 600 this yea
and not without hope of success.
The jubilee of their organized mis-
s'onary work Is to be observed October
lStl-l0th, of this year, at Cincinnati.
Ohio, where the American Christian
Missionary Society was organized for
home and foreign missions, in ISL,
Alexander Campbell was the first presi
dent. Fully 10000 delegates are eyi
pected to attend the jubilee convention
Inc great music hall, of Cincinnati. has
already been secured, and other large
buildings will be used. No doubt there
Will be a creditable representation from
the church at this place.
