The government OF the United States
has no desire 10 take advantage OF the
friars. It has protected them from the
aggressions Of the insurgents snd
stands ready to pay them a fair price
for their holdings Of realty-not for
all that they claim, but for all that Is
rlghtfully theirs. But there are limlta-
tons 10 It's powers Of concession as well
as to It's inclination TO concede. II will
not pay the friars for lands which they
claim but which the records prove "a
have belonged to Spain and which UNI
der the treaty OF peace passed 10 the
United States; and II viii not enter into
partnership with the church in control
OF the public schools, for a union OF
church and state would constitute a
breach OF a cardinal tenet Of the Ameri.
can political creed.

European roads parallel with canals
lie says that during tbs fifteen years IN
which improvements were made on the
Elbe, In Bohemia, the river tratiic IN
creased nve-fold but traffic on the
competing railways increased still more
largely, and the dividends on the main
line, from Teplitz to Anssig, rose to 10
per cent. per annum." The canaliza-
ton Of the Main from Mayence TO
Frankfort caused an increase Of 81 per
cent In river traffic during 1887, and a
further gain Of AZ per cent in 1885, but
the railroads did not suffer as a result
ION the contrary" says Mr. Thompson,
their business increased S6 per cent In
1885, and an additional IS per cent In
1855" The traffic by rail rose from $780,
600 tons In 1856 to 100000 tons In 1891,
and 10 1853, 229 tons in 1896. being near
ly double what II was 10 years before,
when the railways had practical mo-
nopoly Of the freight business of Frank
fort"
The same has been true In this coun-
Try The writer in the Engineering
Magazine cites the case OF the construc-
ton OF the 800" canal between Lake
Superior and the lower lakes. The In
crease he says, in shipping facilities
gave tremendous impetus TO the de-
velopment Of the Northwest, and thus
contributed largely to the prosperity Of
the railroads Great as was the nfu-
ence OF the 800" canal, Mr., Thompson
declares that II Is "but a faint and
shadowy image Of the development
similar, but multiplied a thousand fold
which viii follow fast upon the compile
ton Of an isthmlan canal" He un-
hesltatlngly asserts that all business in
terests Of The country will derive bene-
1T from that enterprise, but the western
railroads viii be the greatest benencIar-
les thereof
Public enterprises are often antago-
nized because Of a short-slghted policy
that fears competition where there Is
no ground for fear The national immi-
grafton scheme furnishes an example Of
this. II has found Its most determined
opponents among people who have seen
in II menace to eastern farming in
terests, although the truth IL that the
development OF the country means a
stimulus to business Of all kinds--espec-
Tally manufacturing and transportation
business. But this is sure TO bring BEN
eft TO the farmers Of all sections. upon
whom the country must rely for food
stuffs. II is quite possible that the rail-
roads In opposing the canal construc-
ton, have been standing In their own
light, Just as the eastern farmers have
done with respect to irrigation, For
tunately, both measures have passed
Congress, and in time It viii become APP
parent that the best policy Is that which

because only thereby are the sectional
interests properly served.

INDEPENDENCE DAY,

As independence day again dawnS
unon the Nation, patriotic sentiment
naturally centers upon the truly won
,derful achievements OF the country
during its, comparatively speaRiis'
brief history. The former colonies
have expanded and become masnln-
cent empire. In population wealth.
ana influence they have taken a place
wen to the front among the nations. IN
manufacture, commerce, sciences ana
arts they are first. The stars ana
stripes leads; other national emplemS
follow.
This Is the result OF the recognition
given by the founders OF the nation 70
human rights. Liberty, equality, and
brotherhood the principles upon when
American institutions were built, have
proved their divine origin here. unaer
these the country was made an asylum
OF the oppressed, and 1t received some
Of the best members Of the human ram
iIy from all parts of the world Ma
terlal progress, unexampled IN 'ne
worlds history, was the result.
But another thought also suggests
Itself. Has the moral progress kept
pace with the material and intellectual
growth? Disregard for human life ~
shown IN lynchings, homlcides and sui
sides, which seem 10 be growing In fire.
quency. The tearing asunder OF the
ties OF matrimony by divorce is grow
ing evil. The consumption OF liquor IS
increasing instead OF diminishing. The
breaking OF the Sabbath Is almost
feature Of modern life. Dishonesty in
business Is the rule rather than the ex-
ception. Churches are frequently
empty. while theaters, dancing halls
and questionable places Of amusements
are crowded. These are worldwide
conditions. They belong to no special
nation. They are not confined to any
enc country.
There is need of a great declaration OF
Independence from the bondage Of sin.
A general revolt IS called for, from the
tyranny Of the opponent OF righteous
neas-such az that which saved Nine
yeh from destruction, when all the in
habitants untedly humbed themselves
before their Maker, Political inde-
pendence Is after all, of little value,
unless II Is accompanied by that free
dom which consists In voluntary obedl-
ence to the laws of God.
We are not pessimists. We believe
history, II the general results are con-
sIdered, teaches that mankind, under
the fostering care Of the heavenly
Father. is constantly progressing to-
wad moral perfection, as surely as II
Is growing In intelligence. There can
be no doubt as TO the ultimate result.
The waves may rise, and then fall
again. but each succeeding wave VIII
rise higher than its predecessor, until
at last the entire coast Is covered. So,
In human history, bigotfy, sin, and OPP
preston may at times seem TO pre-
dominate. But II ls only temporary. In
dependence day IL itself a reminder Of
this truth For the American republic
was established TO become Standard
bearer OF righteousness In the world.
It will hold this position, as long as II
is faithful to its trust But should 1t
ever lose sight Of its high and RESPONSE
BILE calling others viii take up the fall
len standard. and the progress win go
on toward victory. For the DEGREES OF
God cannot fail.

A BUSY SESSION,

We have already referred to some OF
the most important legislative meas
ures passed. by the first session Of the
Fifty-seventh Congress. There are
others that should receive notice
Among these is the repeal Of the war
taxes left by the Fifty-sixth Congress
These yielded revenue Of E5,00O0oo,
but It seems that the government has
ample means to meet all expenses
without this special income
The oieomargarine measure was also
passed, after sharp debates in both
houses. It imposes stricter regulations
and additional taxes upon limitations OF
butter.
The Geary net for the restriction Of
Chinese immigration was re-enacted.
The House passed still more stringent
measure on this subject and the Senate
committee added some amendments,
but the Senate thought It a violation OF
the existing treaties with China, and
passed bill providing for the cOntin-
uation OF the Gearv act
Provision was also made FOR the es-
tabnshment OF permanent census
bureau, and an agreement was reached
between the houses SO that the treas.
ury department will soon be making
plans FOR a large number Of public
buildings, which win be represenlatiy,

DEwEy's TESTIMONY.
Chicago Record Herald.

As TO the assistance Of Aguinaldo the
admiral frankly confessed that he
committed a blunder In accepting IT,
and that III his foresight had been as
good as his hindsight' he would not
have done So He had been Informed
month before the battle Of Mania
by Consul General Pratt that Aguinal-
do was at Singapore and desired to
Join the American fleet at Hongkong,
The admiral, however, deemed the mos
sage OF so slight consequence that he
sailed without Aguinaldo and before
he arrived. What the admiral said
concerning the consul general at Singa-
pore and his various letters to the adj
miral, assuming 20 direct his operations
thar he was busybody and lacked an
intelligent comprehension OF the situa-
ton, also confirms the general Amerl-
can impression of that official. Today,
however, more interest attaches to
what we shall do with the Philippines
than to the details Of how we acquired
them.

CANALS AND RAILROADS,

claims that the canal viii undoubtedly

Pacific coast, and greatly enlarge the

II Is conceded on all sides that the
permanent withdrawal of the Spanish
frars from the Philippines Is necessary
to the maintenance Of peace and order
in the islands, The Filipinos are de-
yout Catholics and pay the utmost
Difference and respect to their priests,
but under the Spanish system the friars
of the four most influential orders were
not merely ecclesiastical officials. They
we're practically the agents OF Spain's
municipal government and In the exc
cution of the oppressive policies Of that
government they aroused profound
and enduring hostility.

Try them on. What for2 Why for any

any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
