BRYAN ON JOHNSON.


Who should 1t be-Bryan or John
son? We say Bryan. The supporters
of Johnson say that the issue Of NUM-
cipal and national ownership has sup
planted the issue of money and the Is
sue Of Imperialism Mr.. Bryan, 1t Is
true, was the apostle OF the free sill
yer doctrine but the campaign of 1896
was something more than a struggle
between those who believed In free sill
yer and those who were against 1T. IL
was a campaign which emancipated
the clotted minds OF men and reused
them to reason, awakening millions to
appreciation OF the dangers Of plutoc-
racy.
Mr. Bryan has not abdicated or lost
leadership of the democratic party
He has, as he said at st. Louis kept
the faith" He has been tried and
found true, consistent and steadfast
Popular trust in him grows. IL the
republican party shall nominate Fair

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

At the time when Port Arthur was
in a Seemingly impregnabls condition,
when the white man was in possession,
when the Christian forces were under
the Russian flag the emperor tele-
graphed to General Stoessel congratu-
latipg thd troops, sailors and inhabi-
tants of Port Arthur upan their sue
cesses of July 26, a and %. He said:
Il am fully convinced of their abso-
lutte readiness to uphold the glory Of
our arms by their unbounded bravery.
warmly thank them all. May the
Most High bless their heroic deeds,
entailing as they do the heaviest sac
rifices. May He protect the fortress
from the attacks Of the enemy" And
the condition of affairs today suggests
to some of us, that now, with the yell
low man, the heather. in full possess
sion of that important town, either that
the Almihty is Furnishing the Christian
nation of Russia for many offenses
against humanity, or that Napoleon's
remark that the Lord is or the side
of the heaviest battalion, is true.
Along last summer, a Provo, Utah,
minister worked a scheme of which we
have not had full reports. Infidels
were given an opportunity to earn 81
an hour by sitting In church and list
ening to Rev. Thomas Henry Scruggs
of the First Baptist church. MI.
Scruggs publicly offered to pay an in
fidel who attended his Sunday services
at this rate. The offer became effec-
tive June g. Those who desired to
take advantage of it had to present
themselves to Mr. Scruggs, register,
and submit to an examination to prove
they believe in infidel doctrine and set
time when they will be in church.
Mr. Scruggs says the purpose of this
offer is to induce infidels to study
Christian teachings.
Now this sounded odd almost sac
religious as it were, but after all was
not the Scruggs' motive good one.
Wasn't it worth dollar an hour to
have to listen to Scruggs On the
other hand if by such paid attendance
Rev. Scruggs succeeded in converting
one infidel for one dollar, wasn't this
money better invested than in foreign
missions, where the average cost of
converting a HedtHell is IuuCH larger
per head OF course this raises the
old question whether money is better
used and spent in home rather than
foreign missions.
Young ministers were recently eau
toned by Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of
Buffalo, in the Newark conference Of
the Methodist church, to talk sparing-
ly of women and to make their pastor
al calls in the evening when the wife
VISA surrounded by her husband and
children. The bishop declared that the
afternoon call on women of the con-
gregation when they were likely to be
alone, should be frowned upon.
The above press report is probably
true, and marks a strong bit of min
isterial sense. The ray has arrived
at least in Protestant circles, when the
pastoral call should only begin and
end, like the society call, as a mere

NORWEGIAN RECOGNITION.

Some of our Morse americans are
ton of Norway by the United States
They have sent strong appeals to the
! government urging such recognition
and are naturally disappointed that ac-
ton has failed to promptly follow their
request. They are anxious for the
status Of Norway among the nations
to be definitely settled and their impa-
thence over delay Is entirely natural.
However, the delay complained of
appears to be proper and in line with
the policy Of this government. Nor
way has not yet identified herself. 1t
IL still uncertain what the precise form
OF her government will be, whether
republic or a monarchy True, the
separation from Sweden is absolute on
the part Of the Norwegian people, but
the new state has not vet completed
\ Its organization. Delay on the part of
this country in recognizing the new
nation is preceded by Norway's delay
lin constituting her own state. usual-
" new governments send ambassadors
knocking at the doors of other nations
for recognition, and Norway has not
yet taken this initial step. 1t should
also be recalled that this government
is conservative in the matter Of rec
ognition, and that Panama had been
recognized by two other countries be-
fore the United States took action.
Norway will be properly recognized
when the proper time arrives. 1t is
only question OF formsllity. She has
been generally recognized by the AM
erican press and people. The feeling
OF this nation toward the country
which has sent us multitude of ready
made American citizens is unmistak-
able. The administration recognizes
the claims of the Norse-Americans,
but 1t properly awaits the settlement
of the Norwegian question in Norway
and the formal steps to be taken by
the government to be recognized.
