FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1899.

In a speech in Massachusetts President McKinley has just said of the flag: "It stands not for despotism, but for peace and prosperity, liberty and law, wherever it floats." In copying extracts from America the Tagal organ ought to try this kind.

MAYOR JONES, of Toledo, says parties and party machines are about to find themselves out of a job. The machine through which he was nominated and elected mayor may be out of a job, but there are others well oiled, in fine working order and running under top-speed pressure.

THE general glory reflected upon the American name in Cuba by Governor Wood suffers some diminution by the conduct of three American officers at Oienfuegos who raised a disturbance in a disorderly resort, restated arrest and ahot at a policeman. The contrast demonstrates that the problem of governing Cuba will depend on the kind of men we send there tp do it.

THE aggregate gold exportation since the movement began has been .•bout 913,500,000. Nobody knows, and probably nobody fares, bow long the outflow is to continue. The chances are, however, that the mines jpf the United States will contribute more gold during the year than the

Qwrj put ef the country.

^Moreover, when tiie outward grain jnpvement beginB in September or October, gold is likely to flow into the country. In any case the United

StateB is going to keep at the head of the list of gold owning nations.

BY ONJS WHO WAS THERE. John Barrett, in writing from parsonal observation in the Philippines, says of the present difficulties: "Following up all the unhappy influences to which our army and navy Lad to quietly Bubmit without turning a finger, there came the blow from behind that did more harm than all of these local influences combined—the agitation in America in behalf of the Filipinos and in opposition to the policy of our government and of the army and navy as advised by such tried men as Admiral Dewey and General Otis. It is remarkable how quickly the idea spread, not only through the Filipino 'army, but among the people in the distant interior, that the United States was wavering in its policy, and that it was probable that if they held out long enough and persisted in their position we would withdraw our army and give them back the islands. "Every discordant note that was struck in America was telegraphed or written either to Hong Kong or Manila and found its way by first opportunity to the camps of the Filipino army and to the columns of the native press. Not satisfied, however, with the circulation given by the newspapers, what was being said and done in America was printed in circular and pamphlet form and sent among the people to encourage them. If the Benior Benator of Massachusetts could have witnessed the expression of satisfaction depicted on the face of every Filipino soldier when he read the sentiments expressed by that distinguished man in the halls of congress, and then have seen the look of pain upon tho face of every American soldier when be realized that a United StateB senator was inspiring the enemy opposite him, I am of the humble opinion that he would have experienced some feelings of regret at the direct effect of his argument. There is no question that the belief was prevalent among the Filipinos at the time the fighting began on February 4th that if they held out a sufficient length of time the Americans would give them what they asked. It is not my intention to cast any reflections upon the honesty and good faith of the men who have opposed our policy in the Philippines, and I do not believe that any of them have been actuated by other then the most patriotic motives, unless, poBBibiy, the natural tendency to make political capital out of the troubles of those in power has inspired some of the criticism or opposition. "I heard not only Admiral Dewey and Major General Otis, but Generals MacArthur, Anderson, Hale, Lawton, Brigadier General Otis, and Colonels Smith and Summers use terms as strong as I have on this unhappy feature of the war."

FKOM:AN AUTHORITY. Of all men in the United States at the present moment, probably John Barrett, former

United States minis­

ter to Siam, is the one best qualified by personal knowledge to discuss the Philippine situation. Mr. Barrett haB spent the pasti five years in the far eaBt. Long before the Spanish war he had traveled over a large portion of Luzon and had visited the islands of other Philippine groups. In May, 1898, after Dewey had annihilated Spain's fleet in Manila Bay, Mr. Barrett returned and remained in the vicinity of Manila for seven months. Finally, after the fighting with the Filipinos began in February he came back to the scene of hostilities, and only left to sail for America in the middle of March. Mr. Barrett contributes to the Review of Reviews for July a summary of his impressions after all these monthB of experience and observation The article is highly opportune and significant. Mr. Barrett says: "If I were asked what waB my direct impression as to the results of our campaign so far, I could faithfully answer that, considering the shortness of time during which we have been operating, the character of the country over which we have had to fight, and the strength and organization of the enemy, which they had perfected through long months of waiting, it has been a thoroughly successful one. People in America, not understanding the conditions, expect too much. When we think that we made practically no campaign outside of Manila until the middle of March, that we have penetrated into the very heart of the enemy's country with a record of continuous successful engagements during the hottest and wor6t mouths of the year, it iB more fitting that we should congratulate our forces on their splendid record. In view of all conditions, we cannot fairly expect that the end of the conflict should come before the next dry season. Let us be reasonably patient, keeping in mind the work that already has been done, and give our commanders and 80lsU?r§ tha( support and cgngdence which they desire and need. Otis should be provided with all the soldiers he requires, and the people of (he United StateB should Btftud. by the

government in taking f8r volunteers if they are needed fcufc unless unforseen development! follow, it is probable that Geneaal Otis will be able to carry^the war to a conclusion with his present regiments recruited to their full limit.

GEN. LEONABD WOOD, former commander of the Bough Riders, and now military governor of Santiago, has furnished additional proof that he is an extraordinary man, by declining an offer of 830,000 a year to become president of the big syndicate whichhas bought nine of Washington's street railways and its two electric light companies and is preparing to put them all under a single management, although the salary offered was more than five times the amount he receives as a brigadier general of volunteers. Gen. Wood will return to Cuba at once, because he believes it is his duty to do BO. He Bpeaks of his doing so in the most matter of fact tone. He said: "I intend to remain in the military service of the government just as long as the service needs me. I feel honor bound to return to Santiago, now that yellow fever is reported to have broken out there." Gen. Wood has doubts about the sickness at Santiago being yellow fever, recalling his experience there last year with a pernicious malarial fever, which caused men to drop in the streets, and which a number of experts pronounced to be yellow fever. Speaking of the Cuban situation, he said: "It is an easy matter to get along with the Cubans. You couldn't stir up a riot in Santiago to-day if you tried. Everybody is contented for the first time in years. We have only to give the Cubans a good government, so good that they will be reluctant to do without it, and that is an easy matter."

THE fact that bank clearings last week were 40 per cent, in excess of those of the corresponding time in 1898 means more than the big excess of six or seven months ago did. The speculative exchanges are not so active new as they were early in the year. The gains which are registered in the bank transactions these days are due solely to a growth in legitimate trade. All the great industries are in active movement. The output of the country's furnaces and factories iB greater than it ever was before. No let-up, either, is threatened. In most of the industries, in fact, there is a constant increase in the product. This is why bank clearinsrs are showing such a large gain over 1898. A still greater expansion is likely to occur in 1900.

THE Filipino junta at Hong Kong says that the United States has made an offer of independence to Aguinaldo. This is a specimen of the uncensored newB that copperhead organs are BO anxious to circulate.

THE story that a veteran of the civil war has applied for a reduction of his pension would be more creditable if it hadn't been said he was an Ohio man.

INDIANA'S RECORD.

State Military Department Compiling Details of the State's Soldiers.

Tne state military department iB closing up an official record of the part Indiana and her volunteer soldiery played in the Spanish war. The information is all in the hands of the department and in the opinion of the officers it will comprise the most complete and accurate account of Indiana soldiers in any war. The record will deal with more than the operations of the Indiana troops as a whole. It will go into brigade and regimental formations, show the organization of battalions and companies and will take up the detailed record of each man in the service, whether a private or the highest ranking officer.

The work of collecting and classifying data was undertaken six months ago. When the state first began its work of preparation for the Spanish war the Indiana officers began to save all records and information which could have even a slight bearing on Indiana's military history.

NON-PARTISAN CHARITY BOARD.

ANew IiHW Providing For a Quarterly Inspection of County Institutions.

The last legislature passed a law providing that upon the petition of fifteen reputable citizens-of any county the circuit judge shall appoint a non-partiBan charity board of six members. The duties of the board are to quarterly inspect county institutions, such as jails and poor houses, and if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of the affairs in any institution to report to the com miesioners and recommend a remedy for the evil.

Birthday Surprise.

The wife of Mike Garner planned a surprise on him last Sunday, it being his 43d birthday. At an early hour the relatives and friends began to gather in with well filled baskets and the table fairly groaned under its load. At high noon Mike was brought borne where a host of friends were awaiting his iFfiv&l Those present were: Jim Spencer and family, John Stones and wife, Will&rd Ford *nd wife, John McOlain and

wife* Ql McDonald) wife and

brother, fiert Cox and wife, MrB. Susan Garner and family, MrB. Spry and

ily, Miss Myrtle Colbert, Isaiah Busenbark, of Crawfordsville Lewis HardeBtday, of Pike's Crossing Jim Grizzle, of Thorntown Jessie Kelsey, of Darlington. Ice cream was BefVed and all left at a late hour wishing Mr. Garner many more such happy birthdays.

Frank Martin.

After an illness of seven weeks, Frank Martin passed away of cerebro spinal meningitis. He was born in Portland, Fountain county, February 4, 1853, and died June 24, 1899. In 1879 he was married to Amanda Beprogle. To this union seven children were born, of whom two, Ethel and Nina, with their mother, survive him. At the age of 14 years he joined the Christian church. The funeral was conducted at the family residence on Milligan street Monday and was largely attended. Rev. Tbarp officiated, .assisted by Rev. Davis, of Trinity church. Interment at Oak Hill.

The New Poor JLaw.

Trustee Symmes, of Union township, states that the new poor law passed by the last legislature will make a saving of at least 50 per cent in this township in the poor expense. While the commissioners have not as yet signed the trustee's last report, he believes that the figures will bear him out in the statement. Taking the law over the entire county this wili mean a big saving in the expenses for the year and it is believed that the law will meet with popular approval when it has been thoroughly tested.

For Sheriff.

New Richmond Enterprise: Coal Creek township will have two candidates in tho field for the nomination for sheiiff—M. R. Binns on the Democrat side and Col. A. W. Perkins in the interest of the Republicans. The colonel is doing quite an amount of electioneering on the sly, having his clover hay put up on the shares and several other acts to win,, the good graces of his partisans.

LAST fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50cent bottle cured me entirely. I now now recommend it to all friendB.—F. A. BABCOCK, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

LESSON I, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, JULY 2.

Text of tlie Leanon, Hoi. xlv, 1-8. Memory Verses, 4-7—Golden Text, Hoi. vi, 1—Commentary Prepared toy the Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1899, by D. M. Stearns.] 1. "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity." Our lesson is entitled 'Gracious Invitations," but all prophecy is full of such, and so is all ScMpture from "Come thou and all tliy house into tho ark" to "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Gen. vli, 1 Rev. xxii, 17). Hosea was contemporary with Isaiah and Micah, as we learn by comparing the first verse of each book, and this chapter which we are about to study gives a fair sample of the gracious invitations which abound in these books and in all Scripture. 3. "Take with you words and turn to the Lord say unto Him, Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously so will we render the calves of our lips." So gracious is our God that He puts the very words in our mouths which we may approach Him with, and whilo words of themselves amount to nothing Ho never fails to hear and answer words which come from the heart. These words imply on the part of those who utter them a conviction of sin and of utter unworthincss before God, and a determination, by His grace, wliou Ho has forgiven us, to serve Him, but on our part there must be sincerity, even as it is written, "Thou slialt l)e sincere with the Lord thy God" (Deut. xviii, 13, margin). 3. "Asshur shall not save us we will not riile upon horses neither will we say any more to tho work of our hands, Ye are our gods, for in tlieo the fatherless flndoth mercy." When we turn to God, there must be a turning away from every arm of llr.-h and from all that is of man or of self. Israel had been redeemed by the mighty hand and power of God God Himself was their deliverer and their king, but they turned their backs upon Him, leaned upon Egypt and As-'yrin and worshiped idols, thus bringing bondage and oppression upon themselves and dishonor upon God. If now they would turn to the Lord, it must be as Joshua said, to fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth, putting away all idols (Joshua xxiv, 14). Or as Samuel said, "Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart, for consider how great things He hath done for you" (I Sam. xii, 24)T 4. "I will heal their backsliding, I will love tjiem freely, for mine anger is turped away ?roiii hiiii," £ho Lor(}

In Rom. iii, 24, the word "freely means "without a cause," As in John xv, 25. We can give God no cause to forgive us or love Us the cause is all in Himself. He is rich in mercy and loved us whon we were dead in sins (Eph. ii, 4, 5). In Jer. iii, 13, 14, He says, "Only acknowledge thine iniquity turn, O backsliding children, for I am married unto you." 5. "I will be as tho dew unto Israel he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon." Rooted and grounded in the love of God, rooted and built up in Christ (Eph. iii, 17 Col. ii, 7), not only Israel, but all believers shall grow as tho lilies, which neither toil nor spin, yet are more beautifully clothed than Solomon in all his glory. Not by struggling or effort do we grow, but by abiding in His love, which is everlasting and unchanging. When Israel as a people shall turn to the Lord, at His second comipg in glory, and shall receive Him as their Messiah, then shall the Lord bo as the dew unto Israel, and Israel shall be in many lands as a dew from tho Lord (Mie. v, 7). (i. "His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall IK: as the olive tree, and his smoll as Lebanon." Sho shall then be a good vine, bearing fruit unto God, no longor an empty vine bearing fruit unto self (chaptcr x, 1). No longer shall she bear wild grapes, but will be indeed a pleasant plant unto tho Lord (Isa. v, 2, 7). They shall bo trees of righteousness, the planting of tho Lord that Ho maybe glorified (Isa. Ixi, 3). It shall be true again of Israel and to a greater degreo than ever that sho shall be beautiful with tho beauty which tho Lord God shall put upon her (Ezek.'xvi, 14). Fruitful, beautiful and fragrant to God shall she be by His grace. It may be so with us now. 7. "They that dwell under His shadow shall return they shall revive as the corn and grow as tho vine tho scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon." He of whom Pilate said, "Behold the man" (John xix, 6) shall bo as tho shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isa. xxxii, 2). Multitudes will sit under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit shall be sweet to their taste (Canticles ii, 3). He who spread a cloud for a covering in the wilderness will spread His glory over Israel (Isa. iv, 5, C), and many nations will flow to Israel because of the glory of the Lord upon her. If believers learn to rejoice in Eph. i, 3, and make it manifest in their lives that they are possessing and enjoying Him in whom is all blessing, God will be glorified and sinners won to Christ. 8. "Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him and observed him I am like a greeu fir tree. From me is thy fruit found." Being occupied with Christ causes us to be changed into I-lis imago from day to day (II Cor. iii, 18). We grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (II Pet. iii, .18) and are able Co say, "My meditation of Him is sweet I am glad in tho Lord (Ps. civ, 34). Beholding the beauty of the Lord and inquiring in Ilis temple (Ps. xxvii, 4), we cease from idols, and llnd such fullness of joy in Him that wo want none of earth's vanities to satisfy our souls. The last clause of the verse suggests John xv, 5, "Without Me ye can do nothing." 9. "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things prudent, and he shall know them? For tho ways of the Lord are right, and tho just shall walk in them, but the transgressors shall fall therein." OUT Lord Jesus said, "I thank Thee, O Father. Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes" (Math, xi, So). Those who are wise their own eyes cannot understand, for the things of God can only be understood by those who are taught by the Spirit of God. These closing words of Hosea remind us of Rev. xv, 8—"Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of Nations," and many similar words, suoh as Ps. xviii, 80, "As for God, His way is perfect.
