Pain, as representative of the obsolete
tram car system intends to spend the
money Of his shareholders in London
upon a long legal fight. When the end
comes somebody viii have the money
and the others will have the experience
And the whole need never have occur
red. The entire matter is the fault Of
Pain. Had he considered for one mo-
ment the convenience of the public, had
he shown a readiness to listen to and
investigate just complaints, had he en-
ployed drivers and conductors who
showed ordinary politeness to passen-
gers, had he kept his cars clean, had he
prevented the smoking of foul tobacco
by his car drivers and their numerous
friends, i'm fact had be run anything like
an up to date line, there never would
have been a rapid transit scheme, and
there never would have been any ex-
pensive litigation, Pain had the ball
at his feet and deliberately kicked it
away. This reasons for his action We're
partly PERSONAL, and partly constitu-
uonal in the man. Mean time he has
saddled his company with neat little
task and will go under with a splash
and splutter, but 1t win be hard on
the shareholders, poor deluded beings.

The hymnals and prayer books ac-
cording to the English form, used for so
many years at the Episcopalian cathe-
dral have all been cleared away to
make room for the Hutchings hymnals
and forms of common prayer used by
the American EpiscopaliansT These will
be in use next Sunday The hymnals
are fully complete, being furnished with
the tunes as in the old Ancient and
Modern" version only in the American
edition compiled by the Rev HutchiRgs
of Concord, Mass. in some cases a single
hymn will have two or more tunes APP
portloned where distinct melodies have
been written and adopted for the verses.
In the prayer book, the psalms are reg
ularly pointed for chanting
BY vote of the synod the prayer books
and hymnals that have been discarded
will be given to Bishop Willis for the
use of his new flock in Tonga where
the gift will be much appreciated.

ably in the November campaign. When
one sees this purpose in the attacks
upon the Army one begins to look with
considerable doubt upon the evidence
advanced. To read the full record of
the debates upon the Philippine ques-
ton is to sup on horrors. Horrors are
charged against the American army,
fightful horrors are countercharged by
the defenders of the Army against the
Fiipinos. 1t is a most painful subject
to dwell upon.
That there may have been isolated
cases of cruelty among American SOL
diers is true. You do not as a rule en-
ploy angels in the ranks, and after men
have been shot by unseen foes, and oc-
casionally have seen the bodies of their
dead comrades slashed and treated in
the most brutal manner, they are not
very apt to be tender in their treat
ment of prisoners that fall into their
hands But a strong officer will curb
his men with an iron hand, and the
American army has many strong and
gallant officers.
Evidence has been given against sew
eral of those high in command, but the
evidence of men who are probably dis
guntled at not receiving promotion
which they expected, or who have been
punished for INSTRUMENTATION or for
dlsregarding regulations must always
be taken with a considerable grain of
salt. One man who complained of the
army rations,. left his specimens upon
the table of the committee. The food
was sent to the Senate restaurant to be
prepared, and the soldier was invited
tc lunch with two senators. He ate the
rations he had condemned, and found
them perfectly good as did the sena-
tors, though they did not tell the SOL
der what he had been eating. That
will come when his evidence is dis
cussed.
The opponents or rather the tradu-
GERS of the Army seem to take it that
any wild story against Anglican Off
GERS and American soldiers must be
true. There is nothing too bad which
is not eagerly seized upon. The Fill
pinos are known liars, in fact the art
OF lying seems always well taught
wherever the Spaniard has set his foot.

easy than to manufacture lies, and
when he finds that his lies are eagerly
swallowed at the capitol, and are there
given currency, why he out Herods
Herods in his efforts to produce colos-
sal effects. This is the result of using
such charges as political lever against
a political competitor. What the Oppo-
sition should have tried to reach was
the truth, what they have reach is
mountain of untruths and half truths,
and will arouse much criticism and
scorn in many countries, and notably
in the South American Republics,
which are by no means very friendly
towards us. The unwise legislators are
certainly supplying a handle which
every American will regret in years to
come, no matter what stripe of politics
he may belong to-
