Rev. l.. S. Foster, who established,
and who, with his good wife, is so sue
cessfully conducting the Baptist Or
phanage at jackson, thus indicates the
basis of its support in the annual edi-
tion of the Orphanage Gem:
We have entered upon this work in entire
dependence upon voluntary contributions
We have no invested fund as an endow-
ment to yield an income for expenses, and
do not wish such an endowment. We have
nothing to say against an endowment. 1t
is good thing to have an endowment for
our colleges, mission boards and such things.
But we prefer, in the orphanage work, to
be entirely and directly dependent upon
God for all supplies of every sort. For His
promises are our endowment, and they are
infinitely better than the promises of man.
Pure religion and undefiled before God
and the Father is this to visit the fatherless
and widows in their affection, and to keep
himself unspotted from the world.
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Lord; and that which he hath
given He will pay him again"
"A father of the fatherless is God in his
holy habitation."
Leave thy fatherless children, will
preserve them alive let thy widows trust
in me-"
blessed is he that consdereth the poor; ;
the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the earth and
thou will not deliver him unto his enemies. E"
''The silver and gold is mine, saith the
Lord of hosts
Our endowment is found in these divine
promises, and we do not wish any endow-
ment which would prevent us from relying
directly and implicitly upon Gods Word
Relying upon these, l have entered upon
this work for the Lord, and | have found
it to be true that, ''The Lord is not slack
concerning His promises, ; some men count
siackness" have always and everywhere
given full information in reference to our
work, but have never made direct appeal

he was chosen captain of the luka
Rifles, afterward Company X OF the
Second Mississippi Regiment, c. S. A.

battle of Bull Run (First Manassas,)
and until April 16, 1862, when he was
elected colonel of the regiment; after
which he participated in all the cam
paigns of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia. As senior colonel he was much
of the time in command of Davis
brigade, notable in the battle of the
Wilderness, in which the distinguished

cries of all Mississippians as the pure
statesman, the patriotic citizen, the
loyal friend of industrial edcation.
On March 30th, the faculty of this in
stitution at it's regular session adopted
the following: s
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The death of ex-Gov. John
Marshall Stone has deprived the insti-
tuition of it's executive officer and the
State of one of its most valued citizens;
therefore, be it resolved by the faculty
of the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College at its regular meet
ing, March 80, 1900:
/. That in the death of our president
| the college has suffered an irreparable
loss and this faculty a bereavement
| that time cannot make us forget.
2. That in his pure and noble life,
both private and public, we recognize an
example of integrity and answering
attachment to what is right, upon which
| the youths of our State should fashion
their lives and character, and to which
the mothers of our boys should point
their sons in teaching the great lessons
of life and morality that ought to bt
taught by every mother to every son.
8. That we extend to the grief-bur
dened wife and to all relatives ant
friends the tenderest sympathy in thi'
hour of affiiction, hoping that time may
heal the grievous wound, and make thu
remembrance of his many virtues I
happiness to all who were close to hi
generous heart.
4. That each member of the faculty
each instructor and each attache of th'
several departments of the college wea
for thirty days strip of Grape fou
inches long and one inch wide upon th
left lapel of the coat as mark OF ou
respect and love for the memory Of ou
dead president.
5. That copy of these resolutions b
sent to the family of the deceased, AM
that second copy be furnished to tn
public press, in order that all ma.
know how highly we esteem the char
acter of this great exponent OF thos
matchless qualities that mark tn
worthy private citizen and the faithfu
public servant.

mirs of the people.
The question is, are our people still
willing to take the woeful result which
the policy of the administration, az
proposed in the Philadelphia conven-
tion and admitted by the president in
his speech at Canton, inevitably pre-
cipitates upon us? Is it to be empire of
war and bankruptcy or republic of
peace and prosperity? II seems to be
up to the administration.
AS if to emphasize imperialism as the
most important issue, the news comes
from the Philippines that Gen. Mac
Arthur not only cannot spare any
troops from the Philippines, but that
he actually needs 1906 men 10 subdue
the insurrection. The Filipinos are bet
ter armed and in better shape to fight
for their independence than they were
year ago.
The net result Of the Chinese trouble
so far seems to be the loss of life among
American citizens in Peking. the de-
feat of the Ninth regiment, acting with
the allied forces at Tentsin. and the
disabling of that splendid battleship.
the Oregon. 1t has been known for
months that the administration would
be glad to wash its hands OF the Philip
pines, only that its understanding with
Great Britain made the islands seem
an available base of supplies in case Of
trouble such as is happening in China
now. OF course it rather upsets the
plan not to be able to spare any troops
from the Philippines

Afraid of the Record.
As Chairman Richardson. of the dem

marked the other day; The republic
ans appear to be afraid TO make the
campaign on the record of this admin
istration." They feel that the less the
people know about the facts the bet
ter will be the republican chances for
success.
The democrats are putting up most
vigorous congressional campaign from
the Washington headquarters. There
is every prospect that the next house
viii have democratic ma iority. There
were many things in the record of the
recent republican congress that
aroused the resentment of good citi-
zens. The attempt TO put congress
above the constitution in the Porto
Rican matter was perhaps the gravest
affront. In many close districts the
republicans have practically given up
the fight and concede the places to the
democrats.
