In starting out upon the journey
of a new year an excellent maxim is
that which couHsels US never to put
our hands to anything into which we
can not throw our whole energies
harnessed with the very best Of our
endeavor-. Perseverance, is essential
to success, since 1T is often achieved
only through succession Of failures.
In spite of our best efforts, failures
aresin store for the majority of the
race. It remains, then, for US all to do
the best we can under all circumstan-
ces, bearing in mind that races are
not always won by the swiftest feet
nor triumph in battle secured by the
strongest arms. 1t is net SO much the
of swiftness or strenth as
it is the right application OF them by
which success is insured.

surpassed. The enthusiasm of the peo-

with natural curiosity regarding the
big fghting ships from America and
their long. successful cruise which has
marked a new epoch in naval history.

Committee Divided.

The House committee on insular af-
fairs divided on the bill to reimburse
the Catholic church for damages done
church property by the American
troops in the wars in the Philippines.
The board appointed to ascertain the
extent of the damages done 10 the
churches and converts, estimated that
it amounted TO s363,o00. The major
ity of the committee voted to make
the amount S403,03019, the addition
al $4,000 to cover the theft OF de-
struction of vestments and other per-
sonalty.
The board reported that the soldiers
had not destroyed or carried away
any Of the church furniture, but the
Republicans insisted on making the
appropriation. Chairman Cooper of
the committee voted against this IN
crease IN the appropriation.
The Southern members fought the
bill on the ground that while the dam
ages should be paid Congress should
also make appropriation for the
churches damaged or destroyed in the
Southern states by union soldiers dur
ing and after the war, and that they
would not vote for this new bill until
all the churches at home had been
paid for. The committee also divided
on whether the money should be paid
to the Independent Catholic church of
the islands. or he church whose head
Is the archbishop of Manila 1t was
claimed that the Independent Church
is the church of the great majority
of the Filipinos. But the committee
voted to have the money made paya-
