There was a large number expected at

The Y. p. s. c. f. having invited ten
societies to participate In the exercises, a
fine program had been prepared and a
grand rally was anticipated. /, was
thought that the time of meeting had
been we'll chosen as all nature was at its
best, making the long ride which many Of
the Endeavorers would have TO take a
pleasure instead OF a hardship. The
apple orchards and every tree by the road
side were laden with blooms filling the
air with sweetness. During the day the
weathe- was all that could be desired, but
toward night the rain began to pour, dis
appointing many who were desirous Of
meeting the different societies. a few
from here however, gathered at the
church and were surprised and we'll re.
warjed by having an opportunity to wei
come the societies from Fiskeville and
Phenix, who came despite the mud and n
drenching rain. Deacon Charles Brayton
bronght the largest number. The follow
ing interesting program was given:
Praise service with Mrs. Slater at the
organ. Prayer by Rev. Walter Green
societies present responding by verses Of
scripture. Singing by the Fiskevile
society. a temperance address by Rev.
Walter Green. Qnartette from Phenix
with Miss Bowen at the organ. Open
parliament conducted by Mr.. Z. T..
Bowen Of Phenix. Duet by Rev. w.
Greene and Mr.. Mcdonald Closed with
singing and benedIction after which some
time was spent socially ana cake and
coffee were served. At a late hour the
guests departed singing, God be with
you" accompanied by the music Of the
rain. II Is regretted that all could not
have met together yet the coming Of the
Fiskeville and Phenix societies with their
help and good cheer cannot fail to be an
inspiration to the people here. Among
the number was one OF the state officers
and one OF the officers Of the Western
Union. It is hoped that in the near
future another rally may be held when
the other societies may all be present

New-York tribune., 1900-04-05

one in three or even one In four. Yet the
Democratic politicians in these same States
propose to demand that the negroes Malays
and Tagals of the Philippines. of whom not one
In ten read and who have about them no
intelligent and more numerous white popua-
tion must be set to govern themselves
There could not be conceived more con-
vincing proof Of insincerity and bad faith than
such proposal-of bad faith because the wei
fare of the whole Nation now depends upon the
wisdom of the measures devised for governing
the Philippine Islands; of insincerity, because
the politicians who pretend that 1t is contrary
TO their convictions to govern colored inhabi-
tants of Luzon without their consent,
though not one in ten of them can read, hold it
quite right in their own States to govern a
great coOred population without its consent, on
the ground that only two three in ten can
read, and that such a measure of ignorance
makes decent government impossible.
Several of the Southern States. if the position
now taken by Democratic leaders is rghtful
and for the public good ought to be declared
incapable of any share in the election of Rep
resentatives or Senators or Presidents, because
they have not n republican form of government
Either such government requires for It's eX-
lstence certain measure of intelligence on the
part of those who have the suffrage or 1t does
not. If II does. then not Il single district in all
the Philippine Islands has the measure of intel
Iigence which is held necessary to participation
In self-government in Southern States. If 1t
1oeS not then the dsfra0chisement of the great
majority of cOlored people in those States rem
ders their government not republican in form,
but despotism imposed by the more wealthy,
educated and powerful class. AS matter of
fact there is grave reason to doubt whether
constitutional government does exist i'll some OF
the Southern States But there could be no doubt
whatever about it il it should be held that the
Tagals, Malays and savage tribes of LuZon
must give their consent before a government
can be rightly established over them and must
have power to control any government that may
be formed.
Such contrasts are here presented go
far TO destroy the life of a political party. In
the end no party can exist unless it seems TO q
great body of American citizens to be sincere
IN its professions and patriotic in its aims.
When any party deliberately demands what 1t
Knows must be bad government in portion Of
The territory under the American flag and does
.his for partisan ends only ii Is false TO every
obligation of citizenship. When any party pro-
tesses convictions to which It's own conduct
gives the lie it may be that 1t thereby
1isgusts and drives away a share of American
voters. This country does not knowingly trust
any party which tries to cheat the people with
false pretpnces or deliberately sells the honor
and welfare of the Nation for the hope Of office.
New-York tribune., 1900-04-05
THE POLITICAL OUTDOOR

The results of spring municipal elections
throughout the country have been on the whole
notably favorable to the party in power Cen
eral Gr0svenor and other near friends of the
President express the utmost qualification at
the great majority Of seven thousand or more
in Cincinnati, and other Ohio returns are gener-
ally satisfactory. The election of q Republican
Council in Chicago does not indicate that Il-
nois has become doubtful State. as some have
supposed, but the sweeping Republican major
ity in most cities in Missouri raises the question
whether that State will remain Democratic
while in other trans-Mississippi States the rela-
uOns between Democrats and Populists have
not grown more cordial, but the effect of pros
perity in breaking down opposition has been
distinctly marked. In Connecticut and other
Eastern States the Republican party appears
rather stronger than il was a year ago. In
Rhode Island Yesterdays State election indi-
Gates at least no decrease of Republican
strength. While the demagogues are making
much fuss about island perplexities and monop-
olies which do not mOnopolize the people seem
by their votes inclined TO avoid the disturbance
of a prosperity which is the highest they have
ever known
About that prosperity there is no room for
dispute. The volume of business at the minor
cities throughout the country and outside of
speculauFe and pureit nnanclal operations at
the chief cities also. is greater than ever before
at this season. The number Of the unemployed
has everywhere diminished, except as it is Just
now temporarily increased at many points by
demands for higher wages and while such de-
mands are usual at this season, their number
this year IS conclusive evidence that the work
ers generally believe the extraordinary pros
perfty of business warrants wages higher than
the highest ever paid. If in many instances
they may be- mistaken. il Is found that in many
more their demands are eraEted Beyond ques-
ton the sum distributed each month in wages
is not merely larger than il ever was before and
larger In proportion 70 the number employed
but much larger as materially to increase
the buying power of the people and consequent
ly the demand for products Of industry.
The question whether such prosperity will
continue until the election is more than half
settled already by the passing without any re-

SELLING STOCKS on CREDIT.

Ships go out loaded with goods, and all rejoice
There is the comforting sense Of prosperity
which broadens the smile of the merchant when
he sees his store crowded and the streets blocked
with the drays bearing away the goods he has
sold But the ships which go out loaded with
stocks and bonds have meaning also The
houses which buy and sell on foreign account
report unusual activity. The last week ship
ments of securities TO Europe have formed no
small part in value Of the cargOes taken away
by outgoing steamers. AT other times when
foreign buving has been heavy it has usually
been for speculation only, the entry of a foreign
instead of American name as owner being
the only change until selling orders came But
actual shipment of stocks TO Europe commonly
means something more than a speculative pur-
chase with intent to sell after slight advance
Men do not pay the cost of shipment or risk
their property the sea unless there is eypecta-
ton that II will be held for a considerable time
If such shipments of actual securities have
amounted. as some suppose. TO more than two
hundred thousand shares during the last week
the Indebtedness of other countries to this has
been increased by several millions Although
the stocks most largely bought on foreign ac-
count are not usually of the high priced class
that number of shares may represent $40 900 600
in market value. -s.-
Is 1t n good thing for the country. like the
marketing of its crops or manufactured prod
ucts? Or is 1t in some measure a curse to the
country, as nonresident ownership of land so
often proves? The distant foreign owner can
not entirely share American conceptions of man
agement. Sometimes wiser but often less W lse
he is in either case apt to cause uncertainty
and disturbance, and the chance that he may

verse OF the first quarter Of the year In which,
after such extraordinary purchasing and rise III
prices were seen last year, reaction Wouiu
naturally appear. The yielding in prices OF
some products, and particularly in materials OF
great industries. Is of itself most encouraging
sign. it does not reach in any line the pro-
portions of a harmful reaction. Pig iron Is
little lower, and so is part of the iron ana steer
products, but only enough to encourage further
increase of production. Wool has declined some
what as the surplus from the last clip seeks
market before new wool comes forward, but the
yielding has not been enough yet to check
the demand or lower the prices for goods. Cot
ton has declhed slightly, but remains 1.S cents
higher than II January l, with large
sums going to planters and other holders
throughout the South for the remnant when
Europe needs and meanwhile goods have been
much advanced. but without materially afect-
ing the distribution. Hides are 10 per cent
lower than when the year began, though lower
prices at this season are in part attributed 10
inferior condition. and leather is about per
cent lower while the output of boots and shoes
is still greater than in any previous year
GLASS; silk and india rubber are all a little
cheaper than in January, but with no indication
of reaction in business.
The prosperity which surpasses any ever en-
joyed in previous years VIII WITHOUT uoup'
prove of great Importance in the political con-
test of the year. Nothing could be more just
The politicians who are fighting only for office
and plunder have no sympathy from the peo-
pie. The object of all political controversy Is
to secure the highest prosperity Of the mill
ions. and they are quite shrewd enough to
reason that 1t does not pay TO vote away the
best times they ever have known because some
powerful jaw worker promises them still bet
ter They did precisely that just once, and the
frightful disasters which followed have taught
a lesson that men Of this generation Will not
easily forget. The same policies and the same
methods of administration which have thus far
secured for the country a higher measure or
wellbeing and happiness than it has ever known
before may with sound reason be judged more
likely than any others TO promote yet greater
prosperity in the future.
