The Oshkosh Ladies' Benevolent Soci-
ETY. will not get the Sawyer bequest of
$4,000. At meeting of the society
recently it was decided to erect a So
600 addition to the Mead homestead on
High street and convert the structure in
to ''Home for the Friendless." In Mr..
Sawyer's will he stipulated that the be-
quest was to be used with other funds
for the erection of new building, As
no new building viii be erected the So
ciety will lose the bequest. Edgar Saw
yer said he would, however. put aside
$4,000 as an endowment for tie So
ciety. The ladies will try TO raise the
5000 needed for the addition by sub
scription.

Whatever joys l meet,

With love is SWEETS sweet!
The world hath splendors, but its glories
go
For naught when that seem
To drift in memory where the hearthfres

And where my loved ones dream.
Ger all the wreck and ruin of the years

The thought of chiIdrens love and chill

Comes thrilling to my heart!

On land or oceans foam,
still shall those sweet, endearing voices

The heart back to its home!

times day with a brush whose hriS-
ties were like wire He brushed a
little patch of skin from his lower lip.
Afterward he was careful. and the sore
spot healed. But then he forgot, and
the spot became sore again. This went
on n year or so. Two days out of the
seven this one place in Blanks lip was
sore. Finally, IL began to pain him;
II hurt him all the time; il smarted
even when apparently healed. He
would awake in the night with the
sharp pinching pain there. and the
pain was like the clutch OF a crabs

The protest of Monsignor Sbarretti
against the decree of Gen. Brooke, de-

be recognized by law, will make an
impression on everyone not animated
by hatred of all religion. Catholics

things else, is allowed the greatest per-
sonal freedom consistent with public
safety"
The bigotry which would inspire such
decree is uncomfortable; the stupidity
which would adopt the suggestion and
formulate it into enactment is equally
amazing. 1t contravened not only the
laws and immemorial customs of Cuba.
but the laws and customs of the United
States, where religious marriages are
valid and sufficient, without any civil
ceremony. 1t showed a deliberate and
obstinate purpose to goad and excite
the Cubans, and it is making enemies
for the United States throughout Span
ish America, where we ought to have
friends. The revelations of misgovern-
ment, corruption and religious oppres-
sion in Cuba are being carefully noted
by the Spanish-Americans and are do
much to undo the" excellent influence
of American successes in the war with
Spain. Even England has learned, of
late years, not to NEEDLE with the re-
ligious affairs of states and races sub

| which the Republicans of the Fifty
sixth Congress should make of the SEES

brief list of the things they have done:
They have passed the single gold
standard bill, which repudiates the
| money of the Constitution and the Re-
publican pledge Of 1896 TO work for the
rehabilitation of bimetallism. BY the
same bill the national bonded debt was
extended for thirty years and the pow
er of the national banks Indefinitely
increased They have passed the Porto
Rican tariff bill. 1t violates the honor
and pledged faith of the United States
to the Porto Ricans.. 1t st1-tifies the
declared policy of President Mckinley
and every 'eader of the Republican,
party, and did violence to the senti-
lnent of the people regardless of party.

worth of naval work authorized, or of
any portion of the $140,000,000 which
will be covered by the Nicaragua canal

over $9O,000,000 over ordinary army
expenditures, an increase of over $780,
100000 in ordinary naval expenditures,

Our Philippine POLICY

On the arrival of the Philippine COM
mission at Manila, Judge Taft, on be-
half of the commission, proceeded TO
announce the intentions of the admins
tration as to its future policy in deal
ing with the islands.
In effect Judge Taft announced that
| the administration has no definite
Philippine policy. except to continue
| the war indefinitely. The commission
has no authority to make any material
| pledges to the insurgents. In fact,
Judge Taft stated the commission
would have nothing to do with those
! Filipinos in armss
Nor would the Filipinos be justified
in relying upon the commission should
it make them pledges as TO their flu
| ture government. Any pledges made
would need the sanction of the Presi-
dent and the possible concurrence of
Congress.
Gen. Miles pledged the people of
Porto Rico that they would be given
the same rights and privileges as held
by our territories under the constitu-
ton, but Mr.. Mckinley and the Repub-
lican majority in Congress brushed the
pledges aside at the dictation of the
sugar and tobacco trusts. Pledges and
plain duty" counted for naught.
As far as the Filipinos are con-.
cerned the administration has nothing
definite to offer them They are in
vited to surrender, with the under
standing that they will get what it
may please the administration TO
grant them. They may be ruled by
military dictator, or by carpetbaggers,
or the Government may be turned over
to a syndicate. And yet there are
some people who are unable to under
stand why the Filipinos decline to lay
down their arms and accept that in
definite measure of liberty that Mr..
Mckinley has in store for them-Mil-
