The Summer Normals.

At o meeting of the State board OF
education April % the following points
were agreed on for holding normals,
for whites: Corinth, Okolona, Maybin,
Carthage, University, Brandon, Poplar
vile. McComb City, Gloster, Port Glib
son, Pittsboro, Pontotoc. Two other
points are being considered. For the
colored normals: Batesville, Oxford,
Vicksburg, Natchez, Greenville, Green.
wood. Yazoo City or jackson, Halle
hurst. From the great number of APP
plicants for the positions of conductors
and instructors. it is thought a suff-
cient and competent number can be
selected. The normal at Okolona is to
be specially for separate district work.
A resolution was adopted positively
forbidding all persons thus employed
to act as agents or solicitors for school
book companies. Any disregard of this
will incur dismissal and forfeiture of
pay.

grave in single file, led by Gen. Robert
Lowry, and each deposited a beautiful
flower. 1t was a tender, pathetic
tribute-as beautiful as deserved.

Tending their war for liberty by the
arguments which the fathers of our re-
public used, helps to demonstrate their
entire unfitness for self-government,
because it is well-known and generally
stated in this country, particularly by
the republican statesmen, that the
founders of this republic did not know
whatthey were about and that we have
outgrown their sentimental and i'm
practicable ideas.
However, this action of the Filipinos
is just what might have been expected.
The poorest way in the world to get
trade is to go after it with Calling
guns. Our merchants know that the
trade of a house depends largely upon
the confidence and good opinion which
its customers have of it. Certainly we
have, as a nation, done nothing to es-
tablish this sort of good will with the
Filipinos. In this connection it may be
worth while to reflect upon the fact
that our trade with Porto Rico is
something like one-tenth as great now
as it was when the island was owned
by Spain.
In Manila the other day Gen. Otis
found it necessary to suppress a play
entitled "For Home and Country" be-
cause the patriotic references in il
seemed likely to fire the Filipinos to
new efforts for independence. In San
tiago last week it became necessary to
suppress a newspaper called Free Gu
ba" and send five of its sditors to Jail.
| Thus the mission of the United States
to carry freedom of speech and free
dom of the press to the lands which
have long suffered under the despotism
of medieval Spain progresses apace.

One Of the Midway Islands visited
by the United States expedition max
ing surveys for the Pacific cable, is
described as inhabited by an almost
incredible number of sea birds. Upon
fully one-half of the surface of the
island the sand was literally covered
with them, and the noise of the wing
ed host astonished the visitors. A few
land-birds were mingled here and
there among them. The picture Of
abundant bird life will attract the no
fice Of the ruthless destroyers who
seem bent on discriminating our con-
4emporaries Of the air, and who soon
will be signing for more bird worlds
to conquer. The Midway albatross,
Il seems, refused to retreat before the
1nvader, and bravely faced the foe. If
the power Of defence were once given
% the birds in fuller measure, their
revolt against plumage-hunters might
stop the threatened massacre.

church it will not need the Calvinistic
creed. If the Presbyterian church is a
Calvinistic church. as believe it to be,
then there is no need Of revising the
confession Of faith. The creed needs
no revision. No church member is re-
quired to subscribe to the creed at all.
No minister is required to sign the
creed in ipissimis verbs. The confes.
sion of faith is a very good expression
Of the Calvinistic system of belief.
