In an interview with the Pierre

the states exhibition at the ST.

things he highly endorsed the idea
of erecting the building to conform

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: IF
the negro in the South is industrious,
lawabiding and honest, he is encour-
aged and protected by his white neigh
bors, and if he establishes churches and
schools he has the aid and sympathy of
the whites. The difference between the
Illinois lynching mob and those OF the
South is that the former seems to be
directed against churches and schools,
while in the South the victim of the
mob is almost uniformly a ravisher or
a murderer"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 'Irrigationists are dissolved in
ectasy while contemplating the perpet-
ual motion device by which $3.50, OO0 900
may be spent in irrigation schemes
during the next twenty or thirty
years, without asking Congress for an
other cent The money has been set
aside practically as a permanent appro-
priation-a thing foreign to the nature
and genius of free institutions, and
only tolerated in this country hereto
fore in order to provide for interest on
the public debt and the correction of
minor Irregularities of national finance.
It is no answer to criticism of this sort
of legislation TO say that the process of
irrigation creates the value which IL
afterward devotes to more exploitation
of arid lands"
The New York Times Qnd.) says: "In
effect. the removal of the friars from
the islands is necessary to the estab-
lishment OF the American system of the
independence of the church. The friars
have been political as well as religious
officers. II Is in the former capacity
chiefly that they have earned the ami
mostly OF the natives. Since Il Is i'm
peratiye 10 remove them. our govern
n1ent, in pursuance OF Its invariable
policy, proposes 20 pay for property
taken In the public interest. When the
matter Is closed. the church viii un-
doubleday enter on a career 81 greater
influence and prosperity In the Islands
than u ever before enjoyed, q career
