THE FtLJpJyOS AND THE TREATY.

Admiral Dewey is quoted as saying that
Aguinaldo would give little more trouble II ne
were not bostercd up with false hopes that the
Senate will refuse 10 ratify the treaty. and that
he will then personally gain something through
having taken a stand for independence. Inc
Admiral is n man Of keen perceptions. accurate
information and discreet speech. when he says
a thing is so. ii is pretty safe TO reckon that II
is So In this case there Is scarcely room Tor Il
shadow of a doubt of IT, The chief causes OF
the troubles in the Philippines are the delay III
ratifving the treaty and the misrepresentation
Of it's opponents
There are some interesting questions TO he
asked concerning the connection between Agui-
naldo and his American aids. Are they back
inc him M with assurances that If he keeps the
field long and vigorously enough the treaty Will
be defeated? Or is he encouraging them with
PROMISES that he will keep the field until they
succeed. with the aid OF the ruction he is rails
inr. in defeating the treaty? Now that the
Government has established censorship over
the Manila cable, it is not easy for any treason
able correspondence 10 be carried on save by
the slow processes Of the mails. 1t would be
interesting 10 know what communications
passed between Aguinaldo and the anti-expan-

lshed and how much of the anti-eXpansonist
fund that is said to have been raised here has
been used in the Philippines for promoting re-
bellon against the lawful authority of the
United States.
il is quite possible that thanks 10 domestic
marplotry some pretty vigorous action will yet
be needed in the islands. There is widespread
impression that ii will be needed. and that the
sooner ii is applied the better it will be for all
concerned But the most bcnefcent action that
could be taken and that which would most con-
duce TO a prompt and satisfactory settlement
of the problem. would be the ratification of the
Treaty of Peace. That would put the final
stamp of regularity and legality upon the
United States administration in the Philippines;
1t would probably sweep from Aguinaldo's brain
the Illusions that have been created and cult
waited there by his American 6atterers and
coparceners: il would at any rate abolish his
fictitious prestige, bring the Fipnos face TO
face with the real facts of the situation, and
open the way for American administration with
a free hand TO do that Is the prime need of
the hour.

held yesterday afternoon in the Y. NJ. c.
A auditorium. There was a large audi
ence present when r. S. Boyns, general
secretary Of the Sacramento Young Mems
Christian Association, who presided.
opened the meeting with a short prayer.
Rev Richard Tjader Of Stockholm
delivered an interesting address, first pre-
facing his remarks by singing the hymn.
20 Land of God, I Love Thee So, in
which the whole congregation Joined. He
chose for his text the beautiful Bible
story Of the wandering dove and the ark.
Many of U.s. he said, ARE like that
dove looking for a place to rest. Our souls
are flying and flying in the endeavor to
find It. In the United States the people
need that rest for the soul more than any
other nation, for it is the most restless in
the world. The soul can find rest only
with the Lord of Hosts.
NV soul at one time was restless, ana
I thought Christianity was made only for
women and little children. But soon be-
came undeceived. Satan tempted me to
seek after worldly things, but after OBJ
tanning them l found, like the little boy
who snatched at the soap bubble, that
had nothing. Rest for the soul is what
we should all strive TO attain.
Rev. Tjader referred feellngly 70 the
conversion of his sister on her deathoed;
her last words being, There IS no real
low in the world without Jesus"
Have your peace, the Preacher con-
Guided. 'in the deep depths OF your neart'
and give yourself to God and you viii Ger.
tainly get that beautiful rest OF the soul.

EVANGELIST MOODY
AND HIS WORDS

Rev. w. e. Dugan of the Stewart Mem
orlal Church at Guerrero and Twenty
NTH streets delivered a discourse entitled
Evangelist Moody and His Work" last
evening.
The clergyman pronounced Moody the
greatest evangelist that has ever lived
even greater than Whiteffeld. He re-
viewed the struggles of the exhorters
boyhood and the efforts of his early ca
reer. In 1858, while in Chicago, he rented
three pews in a church with an object of
keeping them occupied by Young men and
boys. Later he established missions and
schools. Continuing, the speaker said
The amount of good this man has done
Tor the world can never be estimated. In
the years he has devoted to the teaching
of Gods doctrine he has converted thou
sands and shaken the infidelity of nations
Wherein lies his power? He is an ordi-
nary. unassuming man, with voice that
shrteks like a parrots, and he certainly
has no personal charms. We must con-
slider that It lies in the fact that God has
seen fit to work great things through his
fundamentally. In this is a lesson. That
God often chooses the weak to accomplish
his will that ii may be proven to men
that all things are done, not by might
and power, but by his spirit.
Every act of his daily life is symbolical
OF humility and every fiber of his being
dances to accomplish acts for the good Of
the universe"

Samuel G. Irving, manager OF the Paran-

The Government is about to construct
