Governor of Oregon, was bright among
the Populists, but 1t has grown some

Pennoyer has made himself heard once

Of having smashed. the Populist cause by

Is especially impressive.

THE SILENT PRESIDENT.

The course which President Mckinley
has pursued during the campaign has been
such as TO win the approval of all thought
full people. With quiet dignity he attended
to his duties and refused to make himself
conspicuous in the campaign. All efforts
to induce him to take the road or even
to review party parades. have proved fu-
ticipation in the canvass ended. He has
studiously kept away from political meet
ings. He has done this because he believes
that the chief magistrate of the Nation
should respect the dignity of the position,
both in the eyes of the people and those
of the world. So he has occupied himself
from day to day with the affairs of state.
administering them as conscientiously in
peace as in war. He has not been moved
by the bitter contest which has been going
that fierce light which beats upon
throne or the high place of power AMI
responsibility. He has uttered no mani
festo; his acts have been his arguments.
He has claimed no notice. He has refused
to send messages to be used in meetings,
but his unfailing kindness of heart leads
him to write a letter to a crippled boy n
this city, who has shown an unusual in
terest in tine election. Yet, in his dignifiad
silence there is a stronger appeal than
much speaking would create. Indeed, that
silence has proved to the world that he is
confident in his rectitude. His silent dig
nifty in the face of malignant SANDERS and
detraction has, there is good reason TO be-
lieve, won him thousands of admiring sup
porters from the ranks of those who would
have been lukewarm If he had entered the
arena TO answer his foes and maligners.
The President has grown in the popular
confidence since the campaign began, and
he has done so because. with quiet dignity,
he has devoted himself TO consideration OF
such new and grave problems as the
Chinese situation. The shafts of bitter
malignants hurled at him have fallen
harmless at his feet. The intelligent peo-
pie of the country now see IN William Nc
Kinley the man of spotless personal life.
and the patient, earnest Christian gentle
man and statesman. wise in council, just
in Judgment and conservative in thought

The Middle Five.

This Is story Of Indian boys at school
by one OF them. The author, Francis lie
Flesche. is the son Of former chief Of
the Omaha Indians. who once occupied the
whole of Nebraska and later a reservation
near its western border. There was a
mission school at the reservation which
the Indian boys attended and where they
were given English names and the rudi-
ments OF an English education. "All the
boys in our school," says the author IN a
preface, were given English names. be-
cause their Indian names were difficult
for the teachers TO pronounce Besides.

the missionaries as heathenish, and there

SERMON ON THE VOTER.
Rev. II. III. Moore Believes i'm the Pur.
ity of the Ballot.

Rev. r. II. Moore, pastor of the Madison
avenue NJ. E. Church, preached last night
on the subject of 1.-THE Christian Voter"
He said he did not believe it to be the
province of the pulpit to try to formulate
the political policy of men. Politics" said
Mr.. Moore, ARE necessarily one-sded, but
no man is qualified to cast his ballot who
has only studied one side of political ques-
lions. A conscientious Christian man
should look upon political questions
from all standpoints. A voter should
be governed on election day by the
same conscientious scruples that gov
erned the Lord Jesus Christ in His
attitude towards mankind nearly 1900 years
ago" The Roman empire, he said, had
nothing to fear from the prophet Jesus of
Nazareth, because He did not ally himself
with any political party He was simply
a humble citizen, who did his duty with
out regard TO party or partisan influence.
But Christ exercised vital Influence on
Christian virtues into the hearts of men.
THE Christian voter" said Mr.. Moore.
Twill be governed by the same principles,
and when he does that he becomes greater
than any political party. The Christian
voter will not be an Anarchist or a de-
structionist but he will exert a powerful
influence for good in the political and So
cial world. The Roman empire in the time
of Christ was agitated by many political
discussions, yet Christ never became an
agitator His attitude should help us
with political organizations" With
reference to this thought, Mr.. Moore said:
81 believe that political parties are or
dained of God, and never cry out against
politics or politicians. / believe that the
Republican party is ordained of God, and l
believe that the Democratic party is or
dained of God. The harmony of the uni
verse is preserved by the opposition of con-
trary forces" In conclusion Mr.. Moore
said: When you go to the polls next
Tuesday you will hold In your hands bal
lot that you should consider the most
sacred thing on earth. Next to the Bible
IL should be kept from proclamation and cor
ruption. Next in vileness TO the man who
will try to corrupt home is the man who
seeks to corrupt the ballot. There IS no
double standard of ethics. Christian men
cannot lay aside their honesty on election

The Sentinel is SO jealous in concocting
ISLANDERS against army officers in Manila
that it has no time to note the charges
made against the head of the police depart
ment for not suppressing vile resorts and
enforcing other laws of the State. Yet
the charges against the superintendent OF
police specifically name the places. Why
are such places tolerated by the Taggart
regime? Perhaps the Sentinel will find
time to answer after the election. So far
as Manila is concerned, reliable reports
indicate that the rule is SO stringent that
1t would not be tolerated in the United
States. Even the Manila correspondents
of the yellowish journals do not send homo
such stories as are made by the Sentinel
to the discredit of American army officers
