There is no use trying to fight the
devil with fire. He but rejoices in the
conflagration. A northern editor. In his
just criticism upon this recent barbara
ty, speaks of it as done by men who
wear ~broadcloth and contribute to
missionary societies." In this he is
wrong. o could not find, I venture
to say, a yard OF broadcloth in the
whole crowd, and I doubt If all OF
them together had ever contributed a
dollar to missions. But the ~broadcloth
and missionary element have their re-
sponsibility. They nave condoned these
things when they should have restrain
ed. They can restrain IL they will. That
element prevented lynchings during the
troubles in Wilmington. They can dc
it everywhere. In North Carolina there
has not been a lynching for years. Yet
this crime has been committed and has
been dealt with by law. Governor
O'Ferrall, of Virginia, showed the way.
The military power is sufficient to
protect the prisoner. The court proved
i sufficient TO bring him to swift and
| condign punishment. For years the
southern press and pulpit have been
preaching to the negroes TO stop their
diabolical crimes. And the northern
press and pulpit has been preaching
to southern whites. Stop lynching. a

Review of Reviews, New York, who is

Grace NJ. E. Church Sunday night.
The church was crowded with people,
and the congregation was deeply i'm
pressed and moved by the power of the
young evangelist. He is a preacher OF
great earnestness and magnetism, and
has a direct way in getting at sinners.
He has the faculty of getting his hear

start and he holds their close attention
till he closes. If We may judge from
the effect of his splendid sermon at
Grace church, he will be a great power
for good in his meetings this week.

DR.. Hoge on theWar In the PHILIPPINES
and the Georgia Horror

In a sermon last Sunday morning
on "The Responsibility of Power" Rev.
Peyton H. Hoge, D.. D., referred to the
Philippine war n the recent outrages
in Georgia. Among other things he
said:
"A few months ago when the news of
American VICTORIES was flashed under
the seas the whole country went wild
with glad acclaim. Every day now
brings news of victories purchased by
no less heroism, achieved in the face
of even greater difficulties, but it is
viewed in silence and with heads bowed
in shame. 1t is because the war which
was begun to give liberty to the Gu
bans has ended in a war against others
struggling for the same liberty with
equal, II not greater, heroism; and
with equal, if not greater, justice and
desert. 1t is not for me to fix the re-
sponSibility for this fact--especially
not in the pulpit. But somewhere IN
this great American nation that re-
sponsibility rests-responsibility for
the lives Of thousands of men fighting
bravely for liberty, and for hundreds
OF our own brave sons dying on the
field Of battle and in the jungles of the
tropics. I do not say we could have
sailed out of Manila bay without re-
sponsibility, but / do say that the re-
.sponsibility rests upon u government
for never once making the simple dec
laration obout the Philippines hat it
made about Cuba. Another opportunity
has just been let slip. Ambassadors
ON suing for peace; we promised
them amnesty, when they wanted lib
erty; and when they would have ac-
cepted liberty under American protec-
ton and administration.
But we have responsibilities near
er home. Within the past week we have
been shocked to the hearts core by
an outbreak Of demoniacal frenzy in a
ne1ghboring state. Like most young
men IN the south, I grew up with the
conviction that there was one name
less crime which from its very nature
outlawed its perpetrator. I have long
been convinced I was was wrong Law.

Who Pluckily stays i'm the Fight and
COnuuers

Policeman Leon George, one of the
youngest and Quickest members Of the
force, vas severely hurt yesterday af-
ternoon while valiantly discharging his
duty. He was assaulted by a negro
man, who hit him two terrible blows on
the head with brickbats, inf1icting large
wounds, but Notwithstanding this, the
young officer overpowered and arrested
his assailant, after a chase of over
half a mile.
About $50 O'Clock Policeman George

TO rebuke a negro man, who was shying
rocks at a dog, to his and a woman

volley of Oaths, and Policeman George
at once started to arrest him, but the
negro anticipating this struck him in
the head with a brickbat. The blow
was delivered at close range and with
terrific force, making a large, ugly
wound, n knocked the policeman OFF
his fleet. AS the officer, dazed by the
force Of the blow and blinded by blood,
staggered to his feet, the negro struck
him again on h head, making another
severe wound. However, neither blow
served to knock out" the young Off
Ger, but on the contrary he regained
his feet and pluckily made for his as
sailant. Being off duty at the time, he
was without pistol or club, and weak
from h effect Of MS wounds he was
placed at a decided disadvantage.
The negro, upon p~erceiving the. dis
play of ~tenacity and grit of the police
man, turned about and ran, with the
officer close in his wake. Policeman
Brown happened along about this time

The Anglo Russian Agreement as to

forth in a note, duplicates of which

countries agree to uphold the integri-

the governments of Great Britain and

LEGATION Of the text of the agreement
when it arrived in a few days.
His Lordship emphasized his anxiety
not to appear to attach exaggerated
importance to the specific stipulations
of the agreement, adding: But of
curse I attach very great importance
to the signing of the agreement, be-
cause it is a sign of the good feeling
so desirable between the governments
of Russia and England"
His lordship further expressed the
hope that the good feeling thus illus
trated would extend to the peoples of
the two nations. This agreement, he
said, was valuable as preventing the
possibility Of a collision between the
two governments in China, "and there
fore" he said, "it is a guarantee of
their full agreement for a long time to
come. I trust that it will lead to fu-
ture agreements on other matters"
