Manchester, August 10, 1903.
In this enlightened age of the world,
and in this once glorious republic to
which Americans were wont to point
with pride, may be seen the strange
spectacle Of brother warning against
brother, spreading ruin and desolation
through a once happy and prosperous
land.
We know that He who doeth all
things we'll, that weigheth the nations
in a balance, will give the battle not to
the strong, nor the race to the swift,
but will mete out justice to all, and in
his Righteousness will we trust. Wild
ows and orphans are on every hand, the
sick and the manned are to be met ev-
erywhere, boys and young men de-
praved in morals, diseased in person.
will fill the land; but what is even this
to the value of one soul sent unpre-
pared into eternity? Awful thought!
Can we shake our garments and say we
are free from blame in this matter?

The Tyranny of Man.

lHartlOru, SOnI., llmesl
To its shame or to its credit-there are
conflicting stories-the town of Beattie,
Kan, has turned out its women officers
and elected men In their places. Woman
suffrage prevails in Kansas, and the right
to hold office goes with the suffrage.
Last year nearly all the city officers were
women. Under their administration
expenditures we're reduced, the streets
were better cleaned and several other
Improvements were made. But the
men were unhappy. They were kept too
much on their good behavior. They dis
liked dictation of what they had been
used to consider their private affairs. 1t
is whispered that the closing OF saloons
and gambling establishments was felt
to be burden. So many men were ag-
grieved by this or other restrictions
that In protest they organized a wide
open party to go to the other extreme.
Apparently they will reach it without
difficulty, for they carried the whole
election.
One possible moral to be drawn from
this history is that man is queer
animal, accustomed to certain pri
vileges and much better managed by
kindness than by the wlsest feminine
despotism that is not tempered by 9
knowledge of his peculiarities and pity
at least for the deficiencies that are
his only in virtue of sex, and for which
he is thus only measurably responsible
There are other morals, but this seems
the most interesting and important.

Senator Hoar Denounces His Party's
Philippine Policy.

Philippine Policy.
The venerable Senator Hoar, of Mass.
made a great speech in the senate few
days ago IN opposition to his party's
Philippine policy. Here are a few
sample paragraphs from the speech:
"If, when we made the treaty of
peace, we had adhered to the purpose
we declared when we declared war; if
we had dealt with the Philippine islands
as we promised to deal-have deslt and
expect to deal with Cuba-the country
would have escaped the loss of 5000
brave soldiers, other thousands of
wrecked and shattered lives, the sick
ness of many more, the expenditure of
hundreds of millions, and, what is far
worse than all, the trampling under foot
of its cherished ideals.
"There would have been today q
noble republic in the east, sitting docile
at our feet, receiving from us civiliza-
ton. laws, manners, and giving in turn
everything the gratitude of a free
people could give.love, obedience, trade.
"HOw our orators and poets would
have delighted to contrast America
liberating and raising up the republic
of Asia with England subduing and
trampling under foot the republic of
Africa
"You would at least have been spared
the spectacle of great republican states
rising in revolt against republican
policies.
~ do not underrate the Importance
of this ISSUE 1t is greater than parties,
greater than administrations, greater
than the happiness or prosperity of q
single generation.

That the Lord Jesus Christ has made an

There's never rose In all the world
But makes some green spray sweeter;
There's never a wind In all the sky
But makes some bird wing teeter;
There's never n star but brings to heaven
Some silver radiance tender:
And never rosy cloud but helps
To crown the sunset splendor;
No robin but may thrill some heart,
His dawn-like gladness yoicing.
God gives us all some small, sweet way
To set the world rejoicing.
