Hon. w. p. Hubbard, Repub-
lican candidate for Congress, will
open the campaign in this county
tomorrow. He will speak at num-
Der of places in the county and it
will be good for all to hear him.
Mr.. Hubbard is man of great in
tellectual attainment as all know
and his discussion of the issue of
the dav will be intelligent and carry
great weight with them. He IS
able in the presentation of nation
al questions and will speak about
them in a plain, honest manner,
without intent TO prejudice any one.
In fact. his will be a heart to heart
talk with his auditors. On the tax
question there is no man in the
state better posted, The truth is
he is authority on that subject as it
was he that fought so CALAMITY for
tax reform and aided in bringing
about its enactment into law. His
auditors will find that he will pre-
sent the story of tax reform in a
manner that will convince them all,
if they are not already convinced by
their tax receipts. No man who IS
interested in his own welfare and
that of his neighbor can afford to
stay away from the Hubbard meet
ings.

"A, and will be observed in the First church.
South Washington square The morning ses-
sion will be devoted to a series of addresses on
the Present and Future of Presbyterianism
Among the prominent ministers who have been
invited to deliver addresses is the Rev. DR.. Jas.
ID. Motfat, Moderator of the General Assembly
In reply to an appeal from Mr. DENLY,
member of Congress from Michigan, asking the
United States Government to bring about an
international inquiry and adjudication of condi-
tlons existing in the Congo Free State. Mr.
loot, the Secretary of State, has written that
the United States can neither investigate nor
intervene. The Secretary says that the United
States is not party to the Berlin agreement
OF 1885, which established the Congo Free
State, 1t is party to general act for the
suppression OF the slave trade and the regula-
ton OF firearms and the liquor traffic in Cen
tral Africa. The treaty relations with the
Congo Free State are those of independent
states. ''It is certain he saws. that tbe
United States has no treaty right of interven-
ton" He afrms also that we have no dip
lomatc or consular agent in that country. and
could not send an agent of inquiry without the
consent Of the Congo Free State or an inva-
sion of its sovereignty. When complaint is
made that American rights or interests are in
any way impaired or put in peril, the matter
has and will receive prompt attention.

1he British Weekly, paper of great power,
and of the widest influence among the Non
contormlsts of England, has rejoiced greatly
in the defeat of Mr.. Balfour and the Conserva
tive party. The Weekly has vigorously antag-
Onized the Educational Bill of the late Govern.
ment, and advocated and promoted the Spas
sive resistance" which has extended over the
country, which means the going to prison and
suffering fines rather than pay the tax for the
support of the schools controlled by the Angli-
can Church. Now that Liberal Parliament
has been elected, which by large majority will
repeal or modify the education bill, the Weekly
as vigorously counsels a policy of magnanimity
1t proposes a conference between the leaders
OF the Church of England and of the Free
Churches; and it declares that ""if such a con-
ference is held, Free Churchmen will do every
thing In their power to secure a reconciling and
stable settlement, and, at all events. we know
that it is their duty to try"
