PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
Rev. DIR. G.. Il. PentecOst Describes
Conditions in the Philippines.

PITTSBURG, April 1.-THE executive
committee of the Alliance Of the Reformed
and Presbyterian Churches resumed its ses-
sions at 10 o'clock to-day in the Shady Side
Presbyterian Church with devotional ex-
ercises, led by Rev. DR.. L. V. Gerhart. OF
Lancaster. Pa. Addresses by Rev. Or. A.
@. Wallace, of Sewickley. Pa, and Rev. DIR.
B. r.. Eschback, of Frederick. Md. and the
reading and discussion OF the reports Of the
committees on home mission work and
Presbyterian and Reformed Church history
occupied the entire morning.
At the afternoon session interest was cen
tered in the paper and discussion on the
Philippine islands. The discussion was oc-
casionally very earnest. The alliance was
greatly shocked at the state OF affairs as
disclosed by the Rev. DR.. George +. Pente-
cost. of New York.
DR.. Pentecost. who was appointed to go
10 Manila and organize missionary work
for the Presbyterian Church. spoke On The
Moral Condition Of the Philippine Islands"
He said: Millions OF inhabitants Of these
islands do not average UP 10 the standard
of half-civilized people. and not a few tribes
are still barbarous, wholly uncivilized peo-
PIE and totally ignorant OF many OF the arts
and sciences of civilized government. still
living In primitive conditions under local
chieftains and in the rudest huIs and how
els. depending for a living upon fish and
rice. knowing little and practicing less OF
the large agriculture In some OF the islands
a system OF slavery Is still extant. and ia
the Island OF Sulu the MOhammedan re-
ligion. with its attendant Institutions OF
polygamy and slavery, both exist"
DR.. Pentecost said that there Is no dis
elimination against the Protestant religion
in favor OF the Roman Catholics. He said
that the government was doing all II could
to protect the soldiers against drunkenness
and the social Evil. DR.. Pentecost expressed
his faith IN the integrity OF our govern
ment and it's ability 20 rightly settle all
these questions in course or time" He
deprecated criticism OF the government in
very warm language.
There was a very lively discussion on the
question OF the Bible In the common
schools. IL was urged by all that earnest
effort should be made 20 put the Bible IN
wherever IL has been put out The Rev.
DR. John McNaugher, OF the Allegheny
United Presbyterian Seminary. made
lengthy address on the subject OF "A Day
OF Prayer for the Public Schools" IA

OF course there have been some acts of
cruelty and brutality during the war in
the Philippines, as there lave been in all
wars, and always will be. but the evidence
goes to show they rave been rare excep-
tions to a general rule of forbearance and
humanity. If deliberate violations of civ
ilized warfare are proven the perpetrators
of them should be punished. but it will
doubtless appear that the acts were excep-
tional and done under great provocation.

It Is probably true, as Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson says. that the United States
would have profted more by legitimate
trade with peaceful South Africa than it
has by the sale OF horses and mules to
Great Britain. AS a matter OF dollars and
cents the Boer war has probably been a
bad thing for US, because il has partially
closed one market and crippled one of our
best customers; but who is to blame? The

statements Ready for the General As
sembIy Next Month.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Presby-
terrain creed revision committee completed
its laoors and adjourned to-day. The COM
mittee agreed unanimously on a report 10
be made to the General Assembly. which
meets i'm New York on May 10. The men,
bers reserved the right to differ upou minor
matters in the report 10 be made 20 thc as
sembly, but the final report, an authorized
statement says, was unanimous and hearty.
The differences refer entirely to the ques-
tion of phraseology and do not apply TO
that of principle or doctrine. AS finally de-
termined upon this brief statement Is TO
contain sixteen articles. as follows:
First-God.
Standardization.
Third-Divine purpose.
Fourth-The creation.
Fifth-The sin of man.
Sixth-The grace of God.
STANDARDIZATION.
Eighth-Our Lord Jesus Christ.
N~inth-Faith and repentance.
Tenth-Holy spirit.
Eleventh-The new birth and the new
life.
Twelfth-The resurrection and the life to
come.
Thirteenth-The law OF God.
Fourteenth-The church and sacraments.
Fifteenth-The last judgment.
Sixteenth-Christian service and the final
triumph.
The committee also was charged with the
work Of the revision Ofsthe Confession Of
Faith by the preparation Of a declaratory
statement defining the meaning Of certain
portions of the confession. This feature or
its labOrs had been completed at previous
sessions of the committee and as finally
reviewed unanimously agreed upon here.
The declaratory statement deals with Chap
tiers 3 and 10 OF the confession. the former
referring 10 the eternal DEGREES Of God and
the latter known as the elect infant clause;
also with that portion of the confession re-
lating TO good works, which was revised by
a change in the text. That concerning
oaths and the Pope of Rome clause will be
dropped from the confession.

The enactment of the new British budget
is likely TO be felt quite outside of the i'm
mediate bearers of the taxes imposed. The
war in South Africa has proved enormously
expensive to Great Britain, ana as she
never repudiates her debts she must make
provision to meet them. Taxes have been
raised once or twice since the war began,
and the new buuget carries still new ones.
1t would be illogical to call the higher
duties on some imports a concession to the
Irotective-tarif policy. That is our policy,
not England's. Hers is tariff for revenue
only, and as. she is in great straits for
revenue she is justified in departing m
what from her traditional policy. The in
creased tax on breadstuffs will be sensibly
felt by American exporters, millers and
farmers; but it cannot be helped, and they
can stand il.

II is probably fortunate for the United
States that the first President of the Gu
ban republic, Mr.. Palma, has lived many
years in this country and has a warm feel
ing for the government and people. a Presi-
dent who felt differently might have caused
needless friction between the two govern
ments. while it is evident that Mr.. Palma
intends to do all in his power to cultivate
the most friendly relations. His occasional
utterances show him 10 be a man of excel
lent intentions and considerable ability.

The work of the executive committee on
the dedication of the monument is pro-
crossing most satisfactorily. Yesterday
many details were considered and arranged.
The success of the affair now depends
largely upon the raising Of the funds in
Indianapolis. The finance committee is now
at work with assurances of success. The
plans of the executive for the
dedication, the professions and the exer-
cises generally are matured. so that fur
Their suggestions with a view of changing
them will not be likely to receive attention.
The whole affair will be worthy of the

upon to contribute to other objects de-
signed to promote the interests of the city.

State Librarian Henry has compiled the
platforms of the two leading parties in In
diana from 1850 to 1900. 1t is a book of Us
pages and in addition to the platforms it
has an intelligently made index. The work
is privately printed. The book is practically
the history of the two parties which have
shaped the policy of the country as put
into their professed beliefs. These plat
forms, at least. show the progress the
parties have made. In many changes which
have been made for the better the Demo-
cratic platforms have covered the same
ground which Republican platforms COW
cred before. This is particularly true of
the war period. The platforms of the little
parties that fuss and fume are necessary to
give the details of the platform history of
the State, but when it comes to the history
of parties which have fought and won or
lost great battles, the platforms of party
cites are not essential. Those who are
studying the history of parties in Indiana
will find Mr.. Henry's little book a valuable
accession 10 a library.

gives TO the world the following lovely
boquet;
"Beyond this beautiful and rippurg
stream, just over the edge OF grassy

tinted flower. They tell as II Is so
rarely beautiful that It may have
blushed to light AZ the touch OF an
angels kiss, and caught It's rosy fiush
from burning star.
Beyond the path.ess mountains that
lift their blue peaks in the fading dis
tance, they tell as there is charming
valley that drinks the diamond dew OF
the morning and bathes Ia the liquid
sunbeams, clad in Yerdure cf everlast-
ing green and dotted all over with
flowers az every hue and shade.
beyond the blue waters OF the path
less ocean, they tell US there is a eli
mate from which the mellow sunlight
OF spring never, never departs; that II
is laden With the songs Of birds OF
beautiful plumage, aud peace, ease
aud plenty rule the lives Of people
that never heard OF war or pestilonce.
Beyond the curtain OF darkness
that hangs over the gloomy night,
there dwells a picture Of morning
picture OF fresh, new life-that seems
TO wake aud move and breathe away
the mists, aud they tell us It's back
ground Is pleasure.

the fears and disappointments, the
bitter trials aud the wearing la9ars OF
time, we are taught there is an eter-
