Their Federation Closes a Very Sue
cessfui Meeting at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-After a success
ful meeting of two days the conference Of
the National Federation of Churches and
Christian Workers came TO an end to-day.
Following a brief morning session the con-
ference adjourned to call at the White
House, where the members had a very cor
dial interview OF twenty minutes with Pres
ident Roosevelt. The President expressed
the opinion that one of the largest fields
for the federation's work was in the small
towns.
y committee was appointed. to report at
the next meeting, 10 consult representa-
tives of the various denominations i'm ref
erence TO the feasibility of establishing a
bureau fund for ministers. AT the morning
session the Rev. DIR. jeremiah thinner
man, of Syracuse, y. Y. made a strong
appeal for uniting all the forces Of the
various churches I'm aggressive work.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: r. j.. Cleveland Cady, OF New York,
reelected president; the Rev. William A.
Rice. OF Newark, y. j., and Mr.. Alfred X.
Kimball, of New York, reelected recording

Representative Cochran, of Missouri.
seems to belong to the class of people who
have a large capacity for making fools of
themselves. The joint resolution intro
duced by him in the House inviting Hon.
Paul Kruger, President of the South At
rican Republic to visit the United States
as the guest of the government, and appro-
priating $4,000 to defray the expenses Of
mis- entertainment while here, shows I'M
usual talent in the direction indicated.
Probably Mr.. Cochran designated Mr.. Kru-
ger officially as president of the South
African Republic in order to make his
resolution as offensive as possible TO Eng
land, thereby hoping TO earn a little cheap
applause as a tail-twister of the British
lion, but he should have known that it
made the adoption of his resolution i'm
possible. For Congress TO invite Dom
Paul Kruger as a private citizen and fugi-
tive revolutionist to visit the United States
would be bad enough. but 10 designate him
as President of the South African Re-
public would be an insult to a friendly
power too gratuitous to be overlooked.
II WOulu NC pItNASViN do IL IL DllliSn
Parliament had, during our civil war, in
vited Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederate States of America to visit
England as the guest of the British gov
ernment, or as If during the first year of
our war in the Philippines it had invited
Aguinaldo. president of the Philippine
Republic" 10 do the same thing. No doubt
there are some other fools Of the Cochran
type i'm Congress. but it cannot be possible
there are enough to secure many votes,
even Of Democrats. for a resolution so
evidently intended to be insulting to a
friendly power as the one he introduced.
1t is amusing to note that Mr.. Peter Van
Vlissingen. treasurer of the Chicago branch
of the American Transvaal League, thinks
that 'if Mr.. Cochran's resolution is adopt
ed it will have a powerful influence for
good i'm the peace negotiations now pend
ing Peter seems to be a day or two be-
hind the times in regard to 1.-The peace
negotiations now pending" If he will read
Great Britain's reply to the proposition of
The Netherlands to open such negotiations
as a mediator he will see they did not get
far enough along TO pend. In fact. to quote
a familiar phrase, they died a-bornin', -
owing TO the firm and dignifed rejection of
the proposition by the British government.
If such negotiations were pending Mr.. Van
Vlissingen must have very little acquaint-
ance with the British lion TO think they
would be helped along any by twisting his
tail at so critical a juncture.
As the United States is now classed
among great powers. it should learn that
one of the first duties of a great power is
to mind its own business and not NEEDLE
with the domestic affairs of other great
powers-a rule, by the way. which we were
very glad TO have observed by them in our
war with Spain. If Mr.. Cochran's resolu-
ton should give Congress a chance TO de-
clare its position to this effect il will not
have been altogether useless.

Of discomfort among the people, they were

political power OF the orders the friars BE-
came the medium OF communication between
the local parishes and the central govern.
ments. They held large tracts OF the best
land, amounting TO about 100000 acres at the
time OF American occupation: The people
rented the lands and thus a landlord and ten.

caused intense hatred. and Mr.. Root said the
feeling OF the tenant classes was not equaled
In bitterness by anything In Ireland. Agui-
