FRIDAY. APRIL 28, 1899.

COT,. FUNSTON, the fighting commander of the fighting Kansans in the Philippines, says the word "independence" with the Filipinos means simply "a license to raise hell, and if they got control they would raise a fine crop of it."

"I PRAY that the god of battles will Smite our soldiers in the Philippines with a fearful and overwhelming defeat." This choice sentiment was uttered by a speaker at the recent annual dinner of the Manhattan Single Tax club in New York and was greeted with a "storm of applause." Were these men Americans?

THE correspondent who describes the burning of Sam Hose in Georgia tells how a "yelling, shouting crowd of 500 people" took the negro to the jail, and in the next paragraph observes that "in some way the news of the arrest leaked out." It is an open question whether the correspondent is a plain fool or a humorist of the Arjj kansas variety who rendered the famous verdict of "frozen to death" in another lynching case.

THE increase in money circulation in (he United States since the date of the Adoption of the Chicago free silver platform has been at the rate of nearly half a million dollars for each business day, The figureB of these three years when placed side by side show an interesting and remarkable growth:

THE suggestion that the beef investigating commission will prepare only a whitewash report is the usual Democratic anti-administration bluBter the last gasp before such gentry are compelled to drop their favorite topic and search for something else to rail about. The report will lay the blame where the blame belongs and if there has been any collusion between government officials and vendors of inferior goods, thejguardiansjof the republic can re$t assured that the guilty

parties wili not escape punishment.

IT is curious how forgetful these silver people are.|i Here they were telling us three years ago that the money of the country could not increase without the free coinage of silver, yet the circulation has increased, according to the treasury department tfigures, 27 per cent, since »Mr. Bryan's nomination and the gper capita circulation is greater than at the corresponding date of any year in ourihistory. Nevertheless they go right on with their old cry, withoutiattempting to explain the inconsistency of askiDg the people to support an assertion which has already been proven untrue.

EXPORTS of leather, 6ays the Shoe and Leather ^Reporter, continue to show a gratifying increase. Ten million dollars' worth of buff grain splits and finished upper leatherjwere exported last year as against less than three million dollars' worth ten years ago. Our glazed kid manufacturers have in particular madejnotable progress. Only a few years ago they were having difficulty in competing with the French manufacturers in our own market. LaBt year besides completely supplying the home market, they exported about a quarter of a million dollars' worth of their |own product. American exportsgof upper leather of all kinds in recent years furnish a remarkable record.

THE demandi of Irving Winslow, of Boston, secretary

alisiic League,

the Anti-Imperi-

for

the impeachment

President McKinley

for

prosecuting

war against the insurgent Filipinos, calls to mind a'statement made by a gentleman well acquainted with the antecedents of the leading members of his modern society of the sons of liberty. He said that the great grand father of one of the

moBt

active offic

ials of this league was ordered out of Boston in the revolutionary war by General Washington because be was a Tory that of his grandfather, both were opposed to the war of 1812, and one was in the |Hartford convention that his father denounced the war with Mexico, and that both he and his father were copperheads in the civil war. It is very evident that the Antiimperialistic League selected its chief organizers upon merit.

A NEW PORTRAIT OF TENNYSON. Justin McCarthy in the Youth's Companion: "1 never knew Tennyson except in an outside sort of way, meeting him occasionally here and there. I cannot say what his manners to his intimate friends may have been except that I know of the affectionate terms in which his intimate friends always spoke Of him, but to the ordinary observer from the outside his manners Beemed rather abrupt and domineering. He sometimes sat chillingly silent, as Nathaniel Hawthorne might have done but Nathaniel Hawthorne never, so far as I know, broke out into sudden bursts of self-assertions, and Tennyson often did. Tennyson was curiously out of sympathy with any Democratic, or even any reforming tendencies in the political sense on the part of the majority of his countrymen. He detested popular agitators at home, but admired them much when they were abroad. He admired Garibaldi he did not admire John Bright. He attacked Bright fiercely in his magnificent poem. 'Maud,'—attacked him in a manner which left not the remotest doubt as to the identity of the person he denounced. It was on a question of war and peace. Bright was for peace Tennyson's voice was still for war. Bright retaliated in a sentence or two of surpassing power in a speech delivered on the platform of the famous free trade hall in Manchester. He likened Tennyson to one of the false prophets in the scripture whoso tongues were said to be 'glibbed with lies,' and contrasted him with Longfellow, whose song always pleaded for peace and freedom.

THE Democratic tariff experts pass quickly by any reference to tin plate. It will be remembered that Democratic statesmen and orators proclaimed loudly in and out of congress that tin plate could not be manufactured by Americans and that the placing of a duty on this commodity was an iniquitous and outrageous business. Not only are American manufacturers making vast quantities of tin plate, but they are flow exporting it, The Metal Worker publishes a statement of the produntion of tin plate in the six months ending December 1, 1898, compared with preceding six month periods, showing a steady and tremendous increase in this industry. The following table tells the tale:

PRODUCTION OF TIN AND TEIINE PLATES. Period of six months, from Pounds. July 1 to Dec. 31, 1891 2,236,743 Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1892 42,119,192 Jan. 1 to Dec. 81, 1893 123,606,707 Jan. 1 to Dec. 81, 1894 160,343.409 Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1895 225,004,869 Jan. 1 to Dec. 81,1896 .369,229,796 Jan. 1 to Deo. 81, 1897 574,759,628 Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1898 .732,290,285

McClure's Magazine for May will introduce a new writer, Mr. Booth Tarkington, of Indianapol' vith the opening installment of a nyvel of present day American life. The story is pronounced by those who have read it iu manuscripts aB fresh and absorbing in plot and remarkably pleasing in its atmosphere and spirit. Rudyard Kipling will have a Btory entitled "The Flag of Their Country," which exhibits very dramatically the difference between a popular orator and a sensitive high-minded boy in their respective ways of "honoring the flag."

THE Congregational conference recently held in Washington grasped hands with the money devil and the "imperialists" and by an almost unanimous vote tabled a resolution looking to the evacuation of the Philippines. If the religious citizens are growing thus blood-thirsty, what is to be expected of the unregenerate?

Perfection Fonnd at Last. DECATUB, 111., Jan. 24, 1898. DEAR SIRS:—I received a gun shot wound in '64 while in the army, which caused a partial 'paralysis of the bowels, and from that time to the present I have had to use a laxative. I have tried a great many kinds of medicines in that time but have never found any as effective or that has been as near natural as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Yours truly,

LESSON V, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 30.

Text of tlio John xiv, 15*27* Memory Vors»\s. 2ft, —Golden Text, Jolm xiv, Prepared "by tlie Uev, I', M. Sfearnn, -.v.. ... {copyright. s*W». by i. M. Stearns.] 15. "If yo lcvc Mo, koep My commandments. in wives 21. -M, also of this lesson, \w, !i ivii:ir iho ki'i'i.ing of His word or couuiiiunl'.nciifs is the evidence of our love to Him. aiv the neressity of hnvinpr Mis word dwelling ri.-hly in us (Col. iii, l(i) if we would prove that we do love Him. We do not think it, tiresome to read quite a long letter from one whom wo truly love or to read it many times, but many Christians find it tiresome to read even a chapter from the word of God, and to read a whole book would be an unbearable task. lfi. "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that Ho may abide with you forever." In chapter xv, 26, Ho is called the Spirit of Truth, and as such Ho testifies of Christ. In chapter xvi, 7-15, Ho convinces of sin, righteousness and judgment, guides into all truth and glorifies Christ by showing unto ns things to come, the things that are Christ's. Ho also makes intercession in us, while Christ at God's right hand makes intercession for us (Rom. viii, 36, 84). 17. "He dwelleth with you and shall be in you." Yo are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you (I Cor. iii, 16). When once Ho comes to dwell in us, as He does when wo are born again, He never leaves us, even though we often grieve Him. He loves to the end. But how much better we might, know Him! How Ho would fill us and how much He would tell us ifi wo would yield fully to Him and ceaso to grieve Him by our worldly ways and un-Cliristliko conduct! 18. "I will not leave you comfortless [or orphans—margin], I will come "to you." He will surely come again, and every sorrow shall be forgotten in that bright morning of His return when wo shall see and share His glory, and until He does come the comforter will prove Himself a real comforter to all who are willing to receive Him heartily. Our Father is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort (II Cor. i, 8, 4). 19. "Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more, but ye see Mo because I live yo shall live also.'' His life insures ours. He is able to save evermore because Ho ever liveth (I-Ieb. vii, 25, margin). He is our life, and as the one who was dead, but is alivo for evermore, having

reflects upon us tho light of the sun after ho has gonp from our sight, because slio still sees him, so we ever seeing Jesus by faith sjtiqukl ever reflect ITis light. 20. "At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father and ye in Me, and I in you." Beloved, now are We tho children of God, and it doth not yet appear what wp shall be, but we know that when He shall appear wo shall lie like Him, for we shall seo Him as Ho is, and this hope set on Him is very purifying (I John iii, 2, 3) Then our wholo spirit, 6oul and body will bo blameless at the coming of our Lor.l .Testis Christ (I Thess. v, 28, R. V.). May Christ be more fully formed in us now to tho glory of God (Gal. iv, 19). 21. "He that hath My commandments and keepeth them, he it is that lovcth Me, and he that lovcth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him." A special love tr Christ receives special love from the Father ^id special manifestations of Christ from Himself. The Lord always reveals Himself to His people by His word ani^Spirit, even as He did to Samuel (I Sam. iii, 21). 22. "Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us and not unto the world?" This question is from the othci Judas, not Iscariot. lie seems to say, 11 we can see you, why cannot others? He thought onlv of the outward, like Xico demus and tno woman at the well. He did not understand as yet the spiritual, Ihinfiteeeii only by spiritual people, the revela tion of the heart of God to the heart ol man. See I Cor. ii, 13. K. V. 23. "Jesus answered and said unto him If a man love Me, he will keep My words and My Father will love him, and Wo will come unto him and make Our abode wit.h him." In verse 17 He said that the Spirit would iiwell in us, but now TTo adds that both the Father and Himself would come too, and make their abode in those who love and keep His word. The word 'abode' in this verse is just tho same as the word "mansion" in verso 2, a little Greek noun of four letters and not, used anywhere but in these two versos. IIow wonderful that these bodies of ours may become mansions in which the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will condescend to dwell! 24. "Ho that loveth Me not keepeth not

My sayings, and the word which yo hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sein Me." How often He tells us that the words are not I-lis, but the Father's! (Verse 10 chapter xii, 49.) From the ago of 12, if not before, He was about I-lis Father's business (Luke ii, 49), and in all His life tho Father spoke and wrought through Him. He was a vessel wholly for God, and He asks tts to present our bodies a living sacrifice (Rom. xii, 1). 25. "'These things havo I spoken unto you, being yet present with you." They were some of His very last words ero He left them, and His wholo heart's desire must have gone out to them in these words. 1-Ie longed to have them know Himself and His Father better, that they might be full of joy, even His own joy, and in Him have peace (xv, 11 xvi, 2*4, 33 xvii, 13). Yet Ho knew that only by tho Spirit could they fully understand, and so He said that it was better for Him to go, that the Spirit might como and open their eyes and convince them (xvi. 7, 8). 26. "He shall teach you all things and bring all things te your remembrance whatsoever I havo said unto you." This He 6aid of tho Comforter, the Holy Ghost, and He said, "Whom tho Father will send in My name." Therefore the Spirit is here wholly on His' business, and when we are willing to be wholly on His business the Spirit will surely fill us. As the disciples thought of the very many things He had said to them and probably longed to recall every word ,what a comfort this assurance must have been I 27. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world givetli give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." We can have nothing apart from Christ. This peace Is in Him. He is our peace and staid on Him is perfect peace (chapter xvi, 88 Eph. ii, 14 Isa. xxvi, 3). The world gives a kjfid of peace by pleasant circumstances, and when they fail the peace is gone, but He gives peace within where no storm can reach.

Lofty Isolated Peak*.

The Mauna Loa or Roa, Hawaii, Sandwich Islands, a volcanic mountain, rising directly from the sea, in the form of a truncated cone, height 13,950 feet, is supposed to be the highest isolated mountain in the world. The peak of Teneriffe is another example, 12,182 feet, the top being in the shape of a cone, which is in consequence called the Sugar Loaf. A smaller and more perfect one is Stromboli, on one ol the Lipari islands, height 3,100 feet above the sea level. In all three cases these mountains form the central part of the islands, their bases being used for the habitation of men and for cultivation.

She was burned about a week ago, though the burn was not necessarily fatal, but blood poison set in and hurried her away. She was greatly attached not only to ber parents, but to her teacher and associates. In school she was greatly interested in ber studies and was much like a little woman in her ways. She will be greatly missed in the home and by her schoolmates in school. Our hearts are sad but we hope to meet her in the sweet by and by.

Women Who Work

How to do the work and not break down is the question that fills many women's lives. The duties must be performed. The bread winning must go on. The scanty wages must be forthcoming.

Hopeless lives of suffering those women live who struggle with female troubles and have not been told how to secure efficient help.

."DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I

Mrs. L. M. Zeh, 1402 W. Norwegian St., Pottsville, Pa., writes "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write to you. I have been a sufferer of female trouble for the past thirteen years. I was all run down, could hardly be on my feet. The last few years I kept getting worse. Suffered with terribla headaches, faintness, bearingdown pains, and at time of menstruation was in a very weak, nervous state. Life seemed a burden, and I could hardly do my work. I tried different remedies with very little relief.

My husband persuaded me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken seven bottles of frv it and am a different 4 woman. My work is now a pleasure, and I never think of lying down to rest during the daytime.

I have been so much benefited by the use of it that I will cheerfully recommend it to any one."

Mrs. Pinkham's" message to every ailing woman is, "Write to me of your troubles my counsel is free." Mrs. Pinkham address is Lynn, Mass.

Hrs. Wm. V. Bell, 230 N. Walnut St., Canton,' Ohio, writes

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I gave little thought to my health, until I found myself unable to attend to my household duties. I had had my days of not feeling well and my monthly suffering, and a good deal of backache, but I thought alii women had these things and did not complain. I had doctored for some time, but no "^-medicine seemed to help me, and my physician thought it best for me to go to the hospital for local treatment. I had read and heard so much of your Vegetable Compound that I made up my mind to try it. I was troubled with falling of the womb, had sharp

pains in ovaries, leucorrhoea and painful menses. I was so weak and dizzy that I would often have severe fainting spells, 1 took in all several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier and used the Sanative Wash, and am now in good health. I wish others to know of the wonderful good it has done me, and have many friends taking it now. Will always give your medicine the highest praise."

Excessive menstrual pain wears on women, and health soon gives way. The following letter shows what Mrs. Pinkham's advice did for a school teacher of Higginsport, Ohio:

am a school teacher and had

suffered untold agony during my menstrual periods for ten years. My nervous system was almost a wreck. I suffered with pain in my side and had almost every ill human flesh is heir to. I had taken treatment from a number of physicians who gave me no relief. In fact one eminent specialist said no medicine could help me, I must submit to an operation At my mother's request, I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham stating my case in every particular and received a prompt reply, I followed the advice given me and now I suffer no more during menses. If any one cares to know more about my case, I will cheerfully answer all letters."—Hiss Edna Ellis, Higginsport, Ohio.
