Harmful Pleasures.

The sermon preached at the Baptist church
la st Sunday evening by Mr.. Gordon, from
Tim. 5:8 was an interesting one. The subject
OF the discourse was "The Pleasures which
the Christian Must Forego."
He said partly: lst, The Christian must
abstain from those things they were In doubt
about. "And he that doubteth Is damned II
be eat. because he eateth not of faith"
Rom. l4:23. End, The Christian must forego
said II by the eating Of meat he made his
brother TO offend, he would eat no meat while
the world stood. The playing OF cards was
looked upon by the world as sinful. SO for
that reason, II for no other, the Christian
must not play cards. 3rd, Must abstain from
those things which offend. 4tb, Those things
which have the taint ofsin. The latest tstatis
tics show that 81 per cent Of the fallen women
in the United States, owe their fall to the
ball room. Therefore the Christian should
keep away from the dance. 5th, Must abstain
from anything that puts him In false light.
The going TO see plays, though the one gone
to might be moral and all right, brings sucn
a Christian into disrepute before the world.
9th, Must abstain from pleasures into which
they cannot take Christ with them. and
also from pleasures they cannot ask the
blessings OF God upon. A Christian young
man was asked to dance by beautiful young
lady; did not refuse, but when upon tue door
said, must first pray for the blessing OF God
upon the dance. He prayed. The dance was
turned into prayermeeting. 9Th, Must alb
stain from those things that may not show
forth the life of Christ
He closed by saying that the Christians
need not give up life, but could have much
pleasure In the world without indulging In
harmful amusements. w. H. NJ.

Mr.. Bryan Makes Reply 10 q Com
muufcatiOu in the Post.


In the last issue of the Commoner MIR, Bryan
de evoted atten ton 10 communication by Mr..
J. L, Eager III The Washington Post OF July
Is. in which the writer charged the late candl'
date for President with commencement, @ as u.s.,
speeches In the campaigns. Mr.. Bryan says
"Simiiar charges have appeared from time
to time during the last five years and nave
answered them. Every psrson, ,0, has a. had .hsSa an
charges, but as The Washington Post is usual
" careful in Its statements, make this de-
nial for It's benefit. I never received any com,
pensation Of any kind from the National
Committee, from any State committee, coun.
any Individual for any speech which made
during the campaigns OF 1886 and 1900. Meth
er did ever have any negotiations with any
person or committee in regard TO- compensa;
lion for any speech. I have been informed
that In some instances the expense OF the
special train which carried the members OF
the committee, the newspaper men, and my.
self was borne by the towns visited, but
never knew OF the details OF such arrange
ments and never received any OF the pro
ceeds therefrom; neither was IT ever suggest
ed to me that should refuse to speak on any
platform or at q place because the money hao lac
cause OF the shortness OF the time, the late,
ness Of the train, or the density OF the crowd
spoke from the rear Of the train rather than
from the platform erected, but the change ln
the program amme was never due, at the toWn
mentioned or anywhere else, to the failure OF
a local committee TO pay money to the COM
mittee In charge of the train or to me.
"Republicans who are both able and Will
Ing to accept transportation from the rail-
roads have frequently criticised the Demo
cratic committees for raising money by sub.
scription to pay for the hiring OF trains, but
believe II much better for our committees To
raise the money necessary for excursion
trains, and thus be free from obligation TO the
railroad companies. may add that when
travelled alone I paid my own travelling ex'
penses."

While the United States is willing
to take Russia at her word and sim
cerely believes that she will leave
Manchuria as an integral part of
China, it is noticeable that England
and Japan are not attaching much
credence to the protestations of the
czar. They seem to think that if Rus
STA is really in earnest and will re-
spect the entity of the Chinese empire
she could give better proof Of her in
tentions by withdrawing the immense
army she has in Manchuria, as the
necessity for its presence there has
passed. 1t is because she doubts the
Cossack that Japan is continuing her
warlike preparations and sending
sharp notes to him demanding clearer
statements as to his future intentions.

Junta Describes Tortures Ordered
for Him by General
Macarthur.

London, April 11.-At a secret meet
ing Of the Filipino junta here to-day,
35 Filipinos from Madrid, Barcelona,
Paris and BRUSSELS being present,
there was read a cablegram from the
Singapore junta which sal. that Gen
eral Macarthur vas preparing to tor.
ture Aguinaldo, unless Aguinaldo took
the oath of allegiance t O the United
States and signed the peace procla-
nation. The Singapore junta urged
that a circular of protest be sent to
the European courts. It described in
detail the engines of torture erected
by the Americans at Malacanan pal
ace at Manila.
The meeting was aroused to intense
anxiety over this telegram, in spite
of the publication here April 2, of a
dispatch that Aguinaldo had already
sworn allegiance to the United States.
The meeting adjourned, pending the
receipt of a report that the t~ortures
had actually been inflicted upon Agui-
naldo, when, it vas said, their protest
to the European courts would be filed,
if the Singapore junta so advised.
The Filipino leaders here ridicule
the idea that the arrest Of Aguinaldo
will put a stop to the insurrection.

what they expect to gain by sending a
commission is not plain. Only one
construction can be placed on their
action. Having realized that the peo-
pie are not with them, the radicals
take this step as the means Of allow
ing themselves to fall as easily and as
gracefully as possible. With the re-
turn of the commissioners from their
fruitless quest, they will be able to
issue n Of their grandiloquent mani
festos or addresses to the reactionaries
and point out to them that they have
done all they could to secure a "Cuba
libre" such as they had dreamed Of
and having failed, all that now re-
mains for them to do is to bow to the
will of the "tyrant" and bend their
necks to the yoke and assume anew
the burden they thought had been
thrown off.
The statesmen of the cigar box
name are not fools and are shrewd
enough to see the plight into which
they have got themselves and having
to fall they want to fall as lightly as
possible. Until the last Of the San
guillies and that class shall have made
their exit from the scene Cuba will
net lack in professional patriots and
country savers and an occasional growl
will be heard from them against the
new order of things. But the people
who are moved by the genuine spirit
of patriotism and love for country see
that under the conditions imposed by
congress only the real peace, liberty
and security for which they aspire can
be obtained. With the protection of
this great and powerful nation thrown
about them and it's %benefcent infu-
ences aud desires exercised in their
behalf, they see the dawn of happier
and brighter days and they have no
wish that it shall be otherwise.

ONLY HISTORY REPEATING.

Thlrty-six years ago yesterday Cen
eral Lee surrendered to General Grant
and the great rebellion was at an end.
The south accepted defeat ungracious-
~ and the feeling against the north
continued for many years. The south
erners felt Inundated and r%esentful
and predicted all sorts of dlreful
things for themselves ms results of the
hated Yankee oppression. Instead
Of those predictions having come true,
events have satisfied the south that
the wars termination bringing vic
tory to the north was a blessing to
the southern people, and if left free to
choose today between continuation of
the present or reve1sion to the old, it
is safe to say hat the vote for the
present conditions would be unani-
nous.
The Gazette notices that at least
one Of its democratic contemporaries
takes occasion to compare the events
eliminating at Appomatox with
what it chooses to call the ''comic
opera proceedings during the first
days of the present month in the island
of Luzon. The same paper, had 1t then
been in existence, would probably
have written in a similar strain con-
corning the events of that time and
would have used them as the text for
an attack on the administration, the
same as it employees those in the Phil
ippines . 0 attack the present admins
t%ration, for by a singular decree of
fate the same party which then was
at the head Of the government is now
shaping it's destines and is doing it
with the same wisdom and high, pat
rotic resolve and regard for the right
as marked the course of the party in
those trying days. It is also safe to
say that when another thirty-six
years shall have passed into history
the people of the Philippines will look
back on the "comic opera" events of
today with the same thankfulness for
the results they brought to them as
the southern people today recall the
events in which Grant and Lee figured
so conspicuously.
