Washington, December 3.-The annual

usual interest
The chapter OF the report treating OF
military operations In the Philippines is
d recital of the features Of the campaigns
during the past year 81 cretary hoot
SAYS that with the exploitation OF the
military plans there all formal and open

Philippines terminated, leaving only an

LONDON COMMENT.
How the Presidents Message Is Viewed
Abroad.

London, December 4-Comment upon
President McKinleys message to Con
gress is chiefly devoted to the references
to America Chinese policy. The Daily
Graphic says:
1.-The pol icy of the United States re-
Carding China is not heroic, but It Is GER
tainIy practical and there is ample rea =
son to helieve that Ii will prevail -
The Times says:
ss,rhe message makes it clear thai on the
vital point or insisting upon punishment
for the outrages Mr.. Mckinley remains
firm. We are glad to see that on the sub
iect of guarantees for Christian converts
the President makes a new proposal OF
any put forward elsewhere. In regard to
the indemnify question, he Ia In agree
ment with some of the best opinlonsI in
England
Ihs Ttmes editorial concludes with the
expression of hope that Mr.. Mckinney g
second term may be marked by "satis-
factory settlement of all outstanding
questions between Great Britain and
America
The DAILY News says;
1.-The message contains nothing new
and nothing very Illuminating on mat
tiers that are old. It Will be very closely
eeanred for It's references TO China. 1t
looks as though the American formula
were that the powers are to specify the
cuIprits and the government Is to specify
the punishme nt. On such terms speedy
retirement would undoubtedly tie possible

A. W. POTTER FOR JUDGE

TIME last toot of the recent election has not
4 yet wholly died out and the election for
Judge year hence is beginning to make the
tongues wag. 1t is none too early to discuss the
situation, though it Is too early to presage the
lay of the field. We observe that Hon. S. H.
Orwig of Lewisburg has announced himself a
candidate for reelection.
Snyder county has loyal Republican son
whose name has often been mentioned in connec-
tion with this position. We refer to A. w. Pot
ter, Esq, of Selnsgrove. The Republicans of
Snyder county seem to be unit for this legal
light from Snyder's metropolis. There is moth
ing against the present incumbent but it is soon
time for Snyder county to get judge and the
way to do it is to demand it.

,lM PRISTINE THOUGHTS
JRE SELECTED GEMS
|, Ie ColIated and Arranged Expressly for The Post
kRlSTOS
MYSTIC MASONRY

With the bigoted sectarian and the modern ma
teralist the universal and unqualified Brotherhood
of Man dead letter. for the first believes that only
himself and few chosen associates can be saved.
For the second, the materialist the recognition Of
the Supreme Architect of the Universe as the Prn-
cpe of Principles and belief in the Immortality of
the Soul, will prove equal stumbling block. For
tunately the number of bigoted sectarians and the
|Out-and-out materiaists Is few.
The superstructure known as Christianity has, it
is true, many historical phases Of dogmas the most
contradictory; of doctrines promulgated in one age,
and enforced with vice-rega authority, and severe
penalties for denial and disbelief only to be denied
and repudiated as "damnabe heresy" in another age
In the meantime the origin of these doctrines and
the personality of the Man of Sorrows around which
these traditions cluster receive no adequate support
from authentic history. What, then, shall we con-
clude regarding the real genius of Christianity? Is 1t
1t all fable, put forth and kept alive by designing
men, to support their pretensions to authority? Are
historical facts and personal biography alone entitled
to credit? while everlasting principles, Divine Be
nicence, and the laying down of ones life for anoth-
of no account? Is that which has inspired the
hope and frightened the lives of the downtrodden
and despairng for ages mere fancy designing lie?
Tear every shred Of history from the life of the
Christ today ana prove, beyond all controversy that
he never existed, and Humanity, from its heart of
hearts, would create him again tomorrow and justify
the creation by every intuition of the human Soul,
anu by every need of the daily life of man. The his
torcal contention might be given up, ignored, and
the whole character, the genius and mission of Jesus,
the Christ would be the less real beniicent and
Eternal with all of its human and dramatic episodes
Explain as you will, it can never be explained away,
the character remans-and whether Historical or
Ideal, it is. REAL and ETERNAL!

REVIEW OF REVIEWS

"The Political Beginnings in Porto Rico" is
the subject of an article in the November Re-
ric~ Of Reciens by DR.. John Finley, the New
professor of politics at Princeton. DR.. Finley
travelled nearly 800 miles through the island
last summer-the greatest part of the way ON
foot His conclusions regarding the possibilities
Of the Porto Rcans are encouraging.
THE WORLDS WORK
81 thought it about time for somebody to
start new magazine" remarked a famous A
mercan author when he was told of new
monthly to be launched October Goth by Dou
beday, Page & Co., of New York The fact is,
though, "The Worlds Work" as its name indi-
Gates, is radically different from the erhemeral
ventures so plentiful of late years. 1t is found
ed on an idea and one that appeals to every man
and woman who works, while the men were for
four years editing and managing in various ca
pacities several of the most successful magazines
of the day. Now they are to see if they cannot
make as good magazine for themselves as they
have helped in the past to make for other people.
"The Worlds Work is frst-hand magazine
of human progress, dealing with the vital ques-
tions of contemporaneous interest in thought
full yet frank and incisive way. 1t considers
conditions not theories, facts not ancies, believ-
ing that our own time and country are good to
live in, and that "the best is yet to be-" 1t is a
necessary magazine for the men who do things.
