Young, with the wisdom of our

We know the sunshine glows beyond

Come, put away old sorrows and re-

The glory of our lost and vibrant

Let's put away the grief of life that

Its daily living; let's be happy-let's!
Let's Just hold hands and look toward
the sun.
See, not a cloud effaces heavens

No cloud to cross us now, or lie upon
The gentle pence that shines for me

Look toward the light-ah, see, Its
glory gets
A rainbow hue; we will be happy

Let's hold each other dear, and dearel

The grace of loving shall upon III
A perfect love that rises high ant

The world to music; let us dream

While Church and State Must BE Kept Sep

Washington, Jan. 29.-The division
of insular affairs of the war depart
ment publishes the following interest
ing extract from the report of the
Philippine commission concerning the
friars in the Philippines:
Ordinarily. the government Of the

ment, or as proper subject of comment
In the report of a public officer. In the
pacification of the Philippines by our
government. however. it is impossible to
question plays. Excepting the Moros,
who are Moslems. and the wild tribes who
are pagans, the Philippine people belong
to the Roman Catholic church. The to-
tai number of Catholic souls shown by the
church registry in 1898 was 6,559, 99S. By
the revolutions of 1896 and 1898 against
Spain, all the Dominfcans, AuguStinians.
Recolletos and Franciscans acting as
parish priests were driven from the par
ishes to take refuge in Manila Forty
were killed and 40S were imprisoned and
were not all released until by the advance
of the American troops it became i'm
possible for the insurgents to retain
them.
The burning political question, discus
sion of which strongly agitates the peo-
pie of the Philippines, is whether the
members of the four great orders of st.
Dominic, ST. Augustine or St. Francis
and the Recol1etos shall return to the
parishes from which they were driven by
the revolution. 1t has been frequently
charged that there was much immortality
among the frfarS, and that to this is due
the popular hostility against them. We
certainly hope that those who control
the policy of the Catholic church in these
Islands, with the same sagacity and pro-
vision which characterizeS all its i'm
portant policies, will see that it would
be most unfortunate for the Philippine
islands, for the Catholic church and for
the American government to attempt
to send back the friars. and that some
other solution of the difficulties should
be found. AS the Catholic church is and
ought to continue a prominent factor
in the life, peace, oontentment and prog
reSS of the Philippine people, it
would seem the wiSeSt course, wherever
it is possible to do without infring-
ing upon the principle that church and
state must keep separate, to frame civil
laws which shall accord with views con-
scientiously entertained by Catholics,
priests and laymen, and which shall not
deal unfairly with the people of a diff
ferent faith.

FOR EMPEROR AND SON.
King Edward Confers Distinguished Hon
Ors Upon His Einsman-Ch0ate Our
Representative at the Funeral.


Cowes, Jan. 29.-Monday was the
forty-second anniversary of the birth
of Emperor William. His presence
here was made the occasion of per-
sonally comforting upon him two of
the highest honors that the English
sovereign has to bestow. King Ed
ward, in coEgratulating the German
emperor, appointed him field mar
shall of the British army, and also
presented to him with his own hands
the insignia of the Order of the Gar
ter set with diamonds. Had the
queen lived she intended to present
the insignia to his majesty on his
birthday. The crown prince of Ger
many, Frederick William, was also
invested with the Order of the Garter
by King Edward VII.
The ceremony of proclaiming King
Edward VII. as king of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and Emperor of India continues in all
centers of the kingdom. According to
present arrangement the United
States is the only country which will
not be specially represented at the
funeral of Queen Victoria. The United
States embassy has received no in
structions, SO far, and it is supposed
that only the United States ambassa-
dor, Joseph ii. Choate, and his staff.
will be present.

RAISES WARNING VOICE.
Cuban Patriot Sees Ruin or Rebellion II
the Present Ideas of Government Are
Placed In the Constitution.

Havana, Jan. 29.-Senor Varona has
written an open letter to the press
regarding the project for a constitu-
ton now being discussed. He says
that he did not wish to break silence
on the question, but he fears that the
damage which may now be done
might be irreparable. He sees dan
gers in the project which frightens
him. Senior Varona declares that e
this constitution prevails Cuba will
be divided into six chiefdoms, subdi-
vided into smaller chiefdoms cor
responding to the municipal districts.
Every governor, elected in reality by
a local clique, will consider him
self Independent, as will also the
mayors, and these, with their con-
federates, will be lords over the prop
erty of the taxpayers. A few years
of this will cause ruin or rebellion. He
asks the convention if it does not
know the history of Cuban munich
palities up to most recent times. Until
Cuba has four times it's present popu-
lation fiscal autonomy in the provinces
and municipalities is a chimera. To
suppose that the electoral body will
be able to curb the excuses of local
cliques is to wilfully shut the eyes.
Many years are necessary before Gu
ba has real electoral body. The is
land should have the form of govern
ment for which it is fitted.

NATIVES FLED As FROM A SCoUReE.
Atrocities Were Committed by All the Sol
diers Except the Americana, Japanese

Committed Suicide to Save Themselves
from Their Christian COnquerors.


New York, Jan. 29.-Fresh from the
turbulent scenes in China, George
Lynch, an English war correspondent,
arrived her on his way to England.
He has had some remarkable expert
ences during the last three years, has
gone through the Cuban war, the war
In South Africa and the disturbances
In China The horrors he witnessed
there surpass in tragic interest any
that he has ever met during his long
career on different battlefields. Speak
ing of atrocities committed by the sol
diers-from which the Americans,
Japanese and English troops were ex-
cepted-Mr. Lynch said it was little
wonder that the natives fed from the
advance as from terrible scourge.
Speaking of the advance of the allies
on sPekin, he said:
A wave of fear and horror preceded
the advent of the allies to such an ex-
tent that in many Of the five villages
where we passed through and in Pekin
itself, when the thresholds were passed
by the Invading soldiers, bodies of the
members of an entire family were seen
hanging from the rafters or lying side
by side, suffOcated, as they preferred
one or the other method of suicide to
save themselves from their Christian con-
querors. Three days after P1-Tang was
relieved, there was house not 800 yards
from the cathedral, in which the entire
family had all apparently committed sui
eide. The soldiers who occupied that
quarter were too busy looting to attend
to the burial Of the bodies which strewed
che streets. Finally the utmost realized
fear Of disease compelled them to make
some effort for their own protection.

as to admit of compromise regard
ing this stupendous claim. In Cuba
the bondholders have met with de-
feat. The draft of the constitution
now being considered shuts out any
possibility of a compromise ON these
