To him who is concerned with history
In the making there very rarely comes q
year more heavily laden with important
events than the, year 1893. 1t has seen
every state in Europe, except peaceful
Scandinavia and the Dutch communities,
face to face with either war or internal
dissolution-some of them within meas
Orable distance of both. Yet the greatest
effects have not been in Europe; 1898 has
seen the United States forced, not 10y any
greed Of power, but by it's humanitarian
ideals, to take its part in European rela-
Gions. A brief but glorious armed conflict
with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to
its end and settled by treaty of peace
upon which the ink is scarcely dry. The
inception of great political changes has
been witnessed in China; two European
rulers have come to their death; several
men and women prominent in statecraft,
military affairs, reform, literature and
music, have passed away; the year has
been marked by some terrible marine dis
asters, causing great loss of life and fire,
food and storm have numbered their vic
time by scores and caused extensive loss
of property
The war between the United States and
Spain was the foremost event or series Of
events In the years history. 1t was the
sixth war waged by the American people
against foreigners, was declared April 20,
1898, and continued until Aug. IL, about
four months. The United States employ
ed over 200 warships, of all classes, and
100000 regulars and volunteers, nearly
100000 of whora, however, did not see
active service against the Spaniards. The
United States forces won all the battles
OF the war; the most notable engagements
being Admiral Dewey's destruction of
the Spanish Eastern feet at Manila bay,
Admiral SIMPSONS destruction of the
Spanish Cape de Verde squadron at San
tiago, and Gen. Skaters capture of San
uago. The American naval forces lost
not a vessel, and but II killed and 81
wounded; but the army lost PIG killed and
1,437 wounded. The Spanish navy lost
IS warships valued at $36,500,O00, more
than 1000 sailors in killed alone; and the
army lost nearly 5000 in killed, besides
wounded. Spain was Obliged to relin-
quish Cuba and to cede all its remaining
West Indian possessions to the United
States; also the island Of Guam, one Of
the Ladrones and lost sovereignty over
practically all the Philippines. The Unit
ed States expended about $300,000000 In
prosecuting the war. Spain was COM
pletely bankruptcd.
The chronological table that follows
gives the most important happenings of
1893, foremost among which are those of

story concerning our troops in Manila
is told by an English naval officer, who
was an eyewitness TO the occurrence.
The city was quite crowded." he says,
with both American and Spanish sol
diers, and they seemed to be on the
friendliest terms. AS was crossing one
of the numerous bridges across the PasiS
River, saw a native Filipino spit in the
face of Spanish officer, and then run to
the American sentinel, who was guarding
the bridge, demanding his protection. II
was some time before the Filipino could
make himself understood, and the sentry
took sometime to catch on to what hao
been done, but you can imagine my sur
prise when he handed his gun to the Span
ish officer and caught the native BY the
nape of the neck and the seat OF Dis
trousers and pitched him off the bridge
into the Pasig River. Then he calmly
took his gun from the Spanish officer ana
began pacing the beat as If nothing had
happened. The American soldier may mol
be so military as his brother Of Europe
but he is made Of the right stuff"

Christ Before Plate.

Christ Before Plate.
PLATE WAS mistit as procurator
Of Judea. He was careless OF the re-
ligious prejudices OF the people ne was
set to govern. The Incident of the gilt
shields and the mingling OF the blood
of the Galicans with that OF their sac
rlices proves 1t. Another popular ap-
peal to Rome would depose him. I'm
aslne. then. his feelings when the feast
being at It's height. there appeared ut
his palace gate a mob headed by the
high priest and all worked to highest
pitch Of religious frenzy. It was ag-
gravatlng, yet fear required that they
should not be driven unheard from the
Judgment seat. PLATE made his first
concession when he placed his, juds-
ment seat outside the hall. The perse-
cutors OF Jesus feared that In the pal
ace there might be some leaven. and
they would be thus disqualified from
completing the feast of unleaven bread.
Court having opened the Judge demand
ed the substance OF the accusation. The
answer was that the fact they had
brought the accused to the governor
was evidence of the aggravated char
acter OF his offense. Petty crimes they
could punish; capital, Rome only. Ig-
noring what was said. PLATE babe them
take Jesus and punish Him according
to their law. This brought. as was cE-
pected. the humilinting confession that
they had lost power TO inAict capital
punishment. Again the accusation Is
demanded. and the reply is that Jesus
proclaims Himself King. PLATE arises,
beckons Jesus TO follow him into the
judgment hall and asks him: Art
thou tpoor.lone peasanO king Of the
Jews?" Jesus puts the counter ques-
tIon: DO you ask Me II l am king in
the Roman or Jewish senso?" and then
proceeds: IN the Roman sense am no
king. In the mistaken Jewish sense
am no king. Ny kingdom is, unlike any
earthly kingdom. II ! were like them
would haze trained Ny followers to
arms" Are you q king In any sense?"
asks PLATE. II am. My realm is truth.
