A Boston and Albany director is re-
ported to have said that 1.-The Wander
bits have nothing to ask of the New
Haven, and as they control the New
Ravens entrance to New York" he
should think that the officials of the
New Haven in the future would be
upon their good behavior" On almost
the same day, Chauncey NJ. Depew is
quoted as saying that the New York
Central has all it wants with the Bos-
ton and Albany, and will stop for the
present. AS 40 per cent of the Cen
trails through business is in New Eng
land, it was necessary for it to get hold
of railroad there to prevent rivals
cutting its throat" Next comes the
assertion that the Vanderbilts, Presi-
dent Cassatt of the Pennsylvania, and
Pierpont Morgan, who holds large in
tercsts in the New Haven and a va
riety of southern roads, have come to a
perfect understanding. There are ru-
mors of a vast combination, involving
a division of territory extending from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and there
are limitations of friendliness md CO.

unknown among these railroad man.
ayers. The development foreshadowed
applies to the east as we'll as the west,
and implies a cessation of rate cutting
and other rivalries that have
made railroadlng improbable at many
points. Whatever disposition may fl
nally be made of the New Haven, the
prospect now is that the lines connect
ing Boston with New York will be op-
Grated in perfect harmony, and that
would mean an end of discrimination
and. an improvement of the Boston,
Worcester and Springfield route. An
other year may be needed to test the
truth of the forecast, but the present
probabilities are unmistakable.

the Hebrews in the rIatter of Vacations.

the Hebrews in the rIatter of Vacations.
Vacations" was the subject of Rev.
John E. Hurlbuts morning sermon
yesterday. In his discourse Rev. Mr..
Hurlbut brought out the fact that the
ancient Hebrew custom provided for
many more vacations than are INDUCED
in at the present time, and went on to
show that people of the present day
are gradually reverting to this
custom.
Rev. Mr.. Hurlbut took for his text
Deut. xxiv:5, when man hath taken
new wife, he shall not go out to war,
neither shall he be charged with any
business, but he shall be free at home
for one year. and shall cheer up his
wife which he hath taken"
He said, in part: This text was re-
peated to young man who spoke after
marriage, of goirg to business the next
day, and when he was satisfied that it
was in the Bible, he remarked, "Who
viii support us while we take the va
cation?"
This brings up the whole question of
vacation and means Of taking it. a
question which when God took the He
laws given in the Pentateuch.
First, as to vacations Every seventh
day was to be Sabbath a day Of rest
from all work and a day for innocent
recreation. Every seventh week was to
be a Sabbath week Every seventh
month Sabbath month, and every
seventh year Sabbath year. and in
this seventh year they should do no
work, and every seventh seven years,
came the fiftieth year, year of lubi-
lee given up entirely to recreation.
Also every year were three great fes-
rivals OF about a weeks duration each.
and every Hebrew male over IL years
OF age was obliged to come UP to Je-
rusalem to attend these festivals
Then add to this the festival of one
year, or our text, when q man married.
Surely we have vacations enough to
suggest the question of the young man:
as to who should support his family
While they took the vacation The an
swer is found in Gods word where
he pledges himself to protect his REQ
rle so that the work Of week would
accomplish as much as the work of a
month. thus giving them an opportli
nifty OF spending three weeks in wor-
ship and simple recreation
This recreation kept them as a peo
PIE, the superior physically, mentally
and spiritually, Of all the nations about
them
Have we made any Improvement by
changing Gods plan and making IL ali
work and no play? And is not the
present more in the direction of VEGA
tions, a return to the Godgiven and
wise way OF living? Rev. Mr.. Hurlbut
then cited numerous facts and ilustra-
tons to show that this Is the case

been mainly formulated to influence
American public opinion. In reality
his government has been extremely
despotic and tyrannical.
81. From the first there has been no
effort or apparent desire upon the part
of the Aguinaldo government to make
amicable adjustment with the United
States. The insurgents believed they
could easily defeat the American
forces; at least they openly asserted it,
and, holding this delIsion, they did
not want any amicable arrangement.
IS. Prior to the fall of Manila, to
have quietly withdrawn and left the
Spanish army and the foreign residents
to their fate, after destroying the Span
ish fleet, would have been am act of
cowardice and inhumanity too infam-
Gus to be considered. Since the fall of
Manila there has been no time when
withdrawn without openly or covertly
retreating before an insoient and ag-
gressive foe
80. Had the insurgents sought a
peaceful solution of the differences, the
United States could not have turned
over the control of the island
to such an irresponsible govern
ment without mourning a liabil-
ity for heavy damages to foreign own
10. 1t has never been shown and can
not be shown, wherein the acquisition
of the Philippines differs in principle
from the acquisition of New Mexico.
New Mexico was acquired as a Sc
quence Of war without the consent Of
her people.
I'll The allegation that the Philip
pines have been acquired with the in
tent to govern them without the con-
sent Of their people is a pure assump-
ton, as unjust as 1t is unpatriotic.
All the froth of turbulent rhetoric
about violating the principles Of Wash
ington and Jefferson arises from the
false assumption that the insurgent
government, under Aguinaldo, repre-
sents the people of the Philippines.
Once concede the fact that 1t was the
purpose Of Aguinaldo and his adherents
TO use the arms provided by the United
States to force Tagalog dominion upon
the people Of North Luzon and upon the
tribes which inhabit the other islands,
and the veil is lifted from the romance
of Philippine life"

1t appears to be one of the delights
of golf that rain need not interfere with
the game. At Lake Forest as we'll as at

contests went on just as if the sun were
blazing from cloudless sky. The play
ers complain that the wet ball does not
bound and roll so freely as they would
like, on the wet turf, but their personal
comfort seems not in the least dis
turbed.

for the democratic presidential nominal

which he ignores the efforts to commit

great financial recommendation, and
yet there are business men Of the pres
ent day who would say that it is all
wrong. Credit, they tell us, is essential
to all large undertakings, and the soon
er the individual begins borrowing the
easier 1t will be for him to get money
when he needs it. That time will sure
ly come, and then If he is in. the habit

The laying of the cornerstone of the
Second Swedish Congregational church,
yesterday, recalls the fact that there
are more than ninety churches and
missions in the city, aside from the
Salvation Army and kindred organiza-
tons. supposing that the population is
$4,000, there is an average of about
1877 people to every church. The real
wonder is not that there are SO many
churches, but that they are for the
most part so prosperous.
