LABOR FEDERATION AND EXPAN.
SION.

The State Workingmen Federation
of Labor OF the State OF New York met
in Albany on the 18th of this month.
The subject of expansion was discuss
ed. A resolution opposing expansion
was adopted by large majority. The
general opposition of the workingmen
to the annexation of territory which
will necessarily make citizens of some
millions of heather" will affect the
action of Congress. The workingmen
will not oppose a policy for the gov
eminent Of the conquered territories
that does not make them citizens. But
they do not intend to permit the
heather to compete with them.
Even If the annexation of the con-
quered lands is desirable, from the
standpoint of large and liberal po-
Icy, the workingmen will follow their
own interests. They evidently regard
the policy of expansion with suspicion.
Whether they are ready to make it an
issue in politics is no doubt one of the
matters that Is closely watched in
Washington. The annual convention
OF the American Federation of Labor
met in st. Louis on the 18th of Deem
Der. Gompers, the President, took the
same anti-expansion views.

JONAH AND THE WHALE.

The Presbytery OF New York Is ir-
repressible," says the Interior pres
OF Chicago. "A student applying for
license was asked his opinion of the
story of Jonah and the whale. He
thought II an illustrative parable,
Whereupon, by vote Of twenty-five
against twenty-four. his application
was rejected, and he was advised to
make restudy of the subject. Wheth-
or the Book OF Jonah be history or par
| able-when we say that II is divinely
inspired, We have said that the type OF
the literature is of no consequence
whatever 1t was not written to por-
tray hero, but to teach the doctrines
of sin, disobedience, dire and almost
hopeless consequent peril, repentance
forgiveness, and salvation, The vilest
sinner may return That is what God
taught to men by the Book Of the Pro-
phet Jonah-taught ii far back in the
dim ages. We advise the presbytery
TO take the advice given to the student
and make a careful and thorough re-
study OF the Book OF Jonah. We VEN
ture to say that II they each and all
will thus occupy their vacations the
congregations in the presbytery will
hear better preaching from their pull
pits than they have heard for years.
There is need for revival OF the
preaching OF Gods justice and good
ness and of the hope OF man through
repentance and obedience. But for the
sake of the honor of God and for the
salvation OF men do not degrade the
discussion to the capacity Of the thoraS
of a whale"
