TWO Ex-pREsIpENTs' VIEWS,

Ex-President Cleveland's approval of ex-
President Harrison's views regarding the
political status of our new possessions is
interesting as being the first explicit state
ment of Mr.. ClevelanG's views regarding
territorial expansion. During the recent
campaign he refrained from expressing
his views. probably because it might have
helped Mr.. Bryan. 1t now appears that
he is against any and all territorial ex-
pansion. That is not General Harrison's
position. He discussed the question from
a point OF view involving the present status
Of the islands. and not with reference to
the wisdom Of their acquisition. Gen. Har-
rison is not an -anti-expansionist under any
and all circumstances. he favored the an
nexation of Hawaii, and In a message
transmitting the treaty to the Senate said
he thought annexation would be highly
promotive OF the best interests OF the Ha-
waiian people, and is the only course that
will adequately secure the interests of the
United States" In the case of Hawaii.
therefore, he favored expansion. He has
not declared himself opposed to the ac-
QUESTION OF Porto Rico, but to its treat
ment since annexation. Mr.. Cleveland OPP
posed the annexation of Hawaii and with
drew the treaty which President Harrison
had sent to the Senate. Mr.. Cleveland Is
a thoroughly conscientious, patriotic man.
but he is not a great constitutional lawyer.
His Endorsement Of General Harrison's
views adds nothing to their weight. 1t
shows that Mr.. Cleveland construed them
as showing what territorial expansion
means to our Republic and what II threat
ems to our people," whereas Gen. Harri-
son was not condemning expansion but
criticising the action of Congress since ex-
pansion.

naming before Christmas, will be made

rectors as the native ability Of the musi-
clans. For weeks the church choirs of the
city and their leaders have been engaged
in active rehearsals OF the Christmas Sun
day musical programmes, and the predic-
ton is confidently made that these will
prove never to have been surpassed before.

ridian-street Methodist Church has been
augmented especially for next Sundays
services by the addition of an extra quar-
tet. The soloists who will be heard In the
