KAISER breaches A SERMON.-The
Berlin papers print a sermon preached
by Emperor William lsst Sunday on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern.
from Exodus, chapter xvii. verse IL:
And II came to pass, when Moses held
up his hand that Israel prevailed, and
when he let down his hand Amalek
prevailed" The subject was "The
Holy Duty and Holy Power of the In
teroession." The reports show that
the discourse was quite belicose toward
China. OF the soldiers going thither
the, imperial preacher said:
"They shall be the strong arm which
Furnishes asssssins. They shall be the
mailed fist which smites that chaotic
mass. They shall defend, sword 10
hand, our hottest possessions. True
prayers can still cast the banner of the
Dragon into the dust and plant the ban
Der of the Cross upon the walls"

NOTWITHSTANDING the ill-etfects OF
the famous peace conference at The
Hague, peace arbitration information
al convention is now in session at
Paris. There has been more unneces-
ssry war since the conference referred
to than in any equal number OF years
for a long time, and that, too, for the
most part, brought on by powerful So
called Christian governments, upon
weak nations, called by them baroarons
and half savage. The strangest thing
about this, to simple minded people, is
that many professors and teachers OF
the Christian religion believe, or ratn'
er, say, it is all right.

THE government OF this country iS
said to be- that of republic, and the
Mckinley, goes by the nam of the re-
publican party. But though the VIZ
0inia member of the national repuDil-
can committee, from whom that COM

ing the republican party in Virginia,
saws Congressman Wise, of the Norfolk
district, is not the choice of a majority
of the republicans Of that district, MI

million dollars referred to are clear
gone for ever. And all for whatP Tc

THERE is now good cause to believe
that for weeks before the news reached
the anxious relatives and friends OF the
Americans 10 China, the President and
his Cabinet had been informed of their
safety, so that it really seems az il the
Mckinley administration is deceptive
in ell its aspects, and that whether con-
sidered either in respect of its money,
home affairs or its foreign relations, is
grossly fraudulent.
