PASSING OF THE CAMP MEETING.
A VenerRted Institution Disappearing
from the Land.
Philadelphia Press.


venerable American institution, the
camp meeting, is on the wane. 1t is still
far from dead, but those who know 1t best
perceive most clearly that its sunset hour
has come. AS the old preachers of today
recount in the past tense the experiences
of the circuit rider, that pioneering apostle
of Christianity to new communities so the
preachers OF tomorrow viii tell on occasions
of "reminiscences OF the former glories Of
the hilarious camp meeting. when people
got religion" and were not afraid TO mako
a noise about it.
In hundreds of rural spots camp meetings
OF more or less pTetensions are still main
tanned, Some Of them are still true to type.
They are out-of-doors and in the woods,
with no roof but the trees and the skies.
The visitors live In tents and rude shacks,
with the neighborhood coming IN, afoot and
by horse, for a days meetings. Vociferous
pulpit eloQuence, long sustained, a visible
wrestling with the devil, a crowded mourn
ers' bench, experiences" from the people.
which lead to scenes which modern psy-
biologists call sheer hysteria; an excite
ment, a tumult a fellowship that the hard
shell Christian Of another day, whose fervor
on these occasions presumably atoned for
any lapses between whites, called "a glori-
the old-time camp meeting are still TO be
found IN many places, though in diminished
degree. Fewer and fewer Of the strongest
preachers attend the camp meetings. The
more cultivated church members become
the less taste they appear TO have for this
sort Of "old-time religion" Plainly, the
camp meeting is on the decline.
In the place OF the camp meeting has
grown up the summer conference and as
sembly and chautauqua. Church folk by
the thousand take their summer outing at
places OF study and instruction, as dis
tinguished from the camp meetings where
the hortatory element and the experience
predominated. The mountain peaks on the
vacation horizon OF religious workers are

Mere-all delightful summer resorts, where
great themes are discussed by the most en-
inent men IN the ecclesiastical world, and
where serious conferences on the Bible ant
on Christian work divide the time with
the most up-to-date recreatlons. The mum
Der OF those assemblies is increasing as Il
also the popularity OF those longest estab
lished. They are the successors Of the de
clining camp meeting; and, since their ne
result TO individual character aud religious
work is greater. no one has cause to lamen

WHERE OUR FLAG Is RARELY SEEl

WHERE OUR FLAG is RARELY SEEN
A special agent Of the government
who has been in South America investi-
eating the possibility of increasing the
volume Of our trade there, says in re-
port regarding his inquiries in Brazil
that at present our flag is never seen
there except on an occasional warship,
or private yacht, or an out-of-date sail
ing vessel The mass Of the people
scarcely know that such country as
the United States exists, and those who
do know it, most Of them, have but the
dimmest notion of the vast economic
activities Of our people" This is cor
roborated by the correspondent Of a New
York paper at Rio Janeiro, who says
that If line of fine steamers should be
established between New York and Bra
lillian ports the business and travel be-
tween the two countries would unques-
tionably be stimulated.
1t is very different with our European
competitors, II 1t can be said that we
really compete with them for South
American trade. Ships carrying the
British, German and French flags are
always to be seen in the South Amer
lean ports and II is therefore not sur
prislng that, as stated by the govern
ments special agent, most of the popu-
lation, all except the very few who have
travelled IN the United States, have eX-
allied ideas as to the greatness of Eng
land, Germany and France and the
"fashionableness" Of using commodities
produced in those countries. He adds
that "there is not the Jsllghtest question
that these impressions are deepened by
visible illustration OF the superiority of
European merchant marine in Brazilian
plies to other South American countries
The obvious conclusion is that our
slow progress in obtaining trade in the
southern countries is more or less due to
the want OF an American merchant ma
rine 1t is impossible to doubt that the
absence of our flag from the southern
ports Is a distinct detriment TO us com.
mercially. There nre other reasons, OF
course, why our trade In that part Of the
world does not grow as it should. Our
manufacturers do not study the south
ern markets as carefully as they should
and are not as we'll represented in them
as are those of Europe. But the lack OF
American shipping has much to do will
/
South American trade. Perhaps the mex
congress will be able TO find way t
improve this situation

SHOULD JAPAN REcEpEl

The stumbling block TO peace is
Japan's demand for reimbursement Of
the cost OF the war. All of her other con-
ditons have been conceded. Her rea-
sons for asking an indemnity are ad-
mittedly strong. The war was provoked
by Russia and that country ought to pay
in money for its bad faith. An indem.
nifty heavy enough to be a serious drain
upon Russia's resources for many years
would be a guarantee Of peace in east
ern Asia. II the war goes on and Japan
continues TO win victories, carrying her
arms into Russian territory, she may de-
mand a much larger indemnity than she
now asks.
1t is urged by some that Japan should
recede from this position. 1t is said that
insistence upon the demand for a large
indemnity is causing a drift Of senti-
ment away from Japan and toward Rus
STA and the opinion is expressed that If
hostilities are renewed because of the
failure Of the conference to agree upon
indemnity Japan would have to continue
the war not as before, with the favor Of
public opinion, but relying wholly upon
the support Of her own people. In the
present situation II would certainly be
most magnanimous on the part of Japan
to relinquish the demand for reimburse
ment. She is in a position, 1t is believed,
to push farther her conquests. II hOstil-
ties are renewed there is every proba-
bility that the japanese armies may be-
fore winter possess large part of east
ern Siberia. 1t is very generally deemed
to be almost inevitable that Russia
would lose Vladivostok. If these things
should be realized, and they are con-
templated in Japans plans If the war
goes on, according to the minister of that
country to England, Russia would very
likely be willing to pay for the restora-
ton OF lost territory a much larger sum
than is now asked. The very general
judgment is that Japan cap carry out
her plans and that If the peace confer
ence ends in failure she will very
promptly proceed to the task
It is expected that some new PROPOSE
ton will be submitted at the next meet
ing of the conference, perhaps a ma
terial modification of the one demand
that stands in the way Of peace. But
that Japan will wholly abandon this
claim is very questionable

is that It absolutely refuses TO work. In
the matter OF reciprocity treaties the presl-
dent proposes and the senate disposes-
and It always dlsposes in one and the
same way. But while in its nature the
maximum and-minimum proposition would
be an improvement, for the simple reason
that 1t would work, the question remains,
how would 1t work? Would the present
Dingiey rates be the maximum or would
they be the minimum From the GOODNESS
with which the project has thus far been
received, It Is to be inferred that the
country believes that the true-blue Ding
leyites will know how TO manage to make
the minimum about as high as what they
arc getting now, and the maximum a good
bit higher.
II the whole scheme is not 10 be brought
into ridicule and contempt. It will be
necessary for the working committee hav-
ing It in charge to show promptly and
emphatically that result very different
from this is what they are aiming at, and
what they are determined to get, even IL
It should take long and hard work.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

York Times, If Tom worral succeeds in
making the Grain trust pay him all the
money he did not make II will certainly be
somewhat embarrassing even to that opu-
lent octupus
Blair Pilot: Attorney General Brown can
DO not better service for the people of Ne
braska than to follow up the Elevator trust
and bReak up the combination that has for
q number of yeaus been roofing out compe-
tition in the buying Of grain in Nebraska.
The farmers and business men of Ne
braska should lend to Mr.. Brown their
hearty support in his efforts now being put
forth.
Nebraska City Tribune: Edward Rose
water of Omaha hit the nail on the head
at the Chicago reciprocity" convention.
Mr. Rosewater reminded the delegates that
some fault could be found with almost any
institution on earth and probably also with
isolated incidents in tariff schedules as we
have them, but that the American pro-
tective tariff was the only thing that made
the gathering of the delegates possible for
without It there would be no American ex-
port trade to discuss or to take measures
to further expand.
Albion News: Attorney General Brown
has the opportunity to make reputation
for himself in the prosecution of the sew
eral trusts that are operating in this state.
He must have the support of the people,
however, to accomplish anything. II he
succeeds in breaking UP the grain combine,
it is hoped he will tackle the lumber and
coal msnipulators. A square deal for every
body should be the battle cry, and no qucs-
ton Of politics should be allowed to stand
in the way. Give the attorney general a
chance and when he fails to make good it
will be time to denounce him and the party
which elected him,
Schuyler Free Lance Qnd): To pick UP
populist newspaper IA this state today
and read the editorials Is to read sinIl "
howl about the republican party and
what 1t is doing In the stats, principally
along the line of taxation and corpora
lions. To one who Is posted as to the
record of the populist party when IN power
in this state those editorials are veari-
some. When in power tho populists old
nothing in the line of reform as to taxa
ton and railroads. The whole bunch CT
populist of1ceholders wers lot OF rass
grabbers and were corporation tools from
beginning to end and from Holcomb down
to Porter. They did nothing as to the
very necessary new revenue law and I'M
der their rule the railroads were taxed
the lowest in the history of the atate.
The whole push was lot of sham re-
formers and those populist editors ever
prated about the reform forces" The
republican party is doing something and
revised the revenue law, raised railroad
taxation and proposes paying of the state
debt and keeping out, besides is prosecut-
ing the local trusts. This editor is not a
republican and don't md to be, but
we give the party 1t for doing SO
much when so little was expected Of them.
and we cannot ind terms strong enough
to denounce the sham reform populists for
doing so little when so much was expected
of them. The populist party died because
IL did not merit life.
