Some of the advocates of imperial ism claim that "expansion" will pro. mote Christianity. "Advancingfreedom by slavery and promoting Christianity by war are kindred arguments. When will the church cease to justify political crimes 'Christians have killed each other, quite persuaded that all the apostles would have done as they did.' Scrin- t,,re was quoted to justify siftveT 0 ch The above Bnswer to the claim that imperialism will advance Cbiistlanity is taken from an article written by E. J. Cornish and printed in the. Omaha Bee of January 15,1899. Tbe Bee now quotes Mr. Cornish as saying in a speech delivered last week "the republican party bas no serious issues t£ face."—World-Herald. WhoA Aria We Fighting in Luzon? In his speech at Madison, Wis, Mr McKinley repeated what he sa({i else ^foe.re, tfyat ''one tribe, and a small fac tion of that tribe, is questioning tbe sovereignty of the United States in the island of Luzon. The great majority of the people acknowledge allegiance to the United States flag and are glad to have tbe shelter of its protection." If that is the case how happens it that, as Secretary Root said in Cbipagg t^e other day. Qtis had such a mighty problem to solve at Manila—the prob lem of defense against the "unnum bered hordes" surrounding that city and of "holding in subjection 800,000 MISSOURI VALLEY, IOWA, THUKSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1899.

If that is the case how happen it that, with his enormous advantage in weapons, Otis has never been able to hold more than a few strips of land radiating from Manila that he has bad to evacuate nearly every town that has been taken that the' mayors" of ciptnred towns, selected by our own commanders for their supposed "loyal ty, have used their oflices for the pur pose of recruiting troops for the 'small factiou" of one tribe? If that is the case how happens it that we ha»re to send an army of 70, 000 men, armed with the most destruc tive of modern weapons, to meet a small faction of what Mr McKinley elsewhere spoke of as one of the small est of some sixty tribes? And how happens it that we have to send no less than forty five warships to pre vent that little faction from getting arms and ammunition from outside? Why can we not depend upon the "great majority" of natives who "ac knowledge allegiance to our flag and are glad to have its shelter" to furnish the men to dot lie lighting or at least garrison the towns and keep the little faction of the little tribe from getting what supplies from without Mr. McKiuley seems to be oue of the kind of men who need long memories as well as the novel writer's faculty of making the different parts of a story consistent with oi another.—Chicago Chronicle. HOWELL'S M-Kavf lllOAT Bring* relief with the F1K8T Dime and promp tly O E 8 coughs and cold* Druggists sell it ntiniw Cifia ,?° of tian nobleman, wno iu justifying the use of Indians in tbe war against the colonists, said: 'It is perfectly justi fiable to use all the means that God and nature put into our hands.' Christ's teachings involved the over throw of every existing institution of his time. All subsequent revolutions in the thought and institutions of man have been the logical result of his teachings. Yet he used no sword. He sought the assistance of no army. He recognized that ideas have in herent force that truth is mighty and will prevail. The sword may kill, superior physical force cwrce, but the minds and hearts of men yield only to truth and love. Every person who has been in India reports that the American missionary there is much more influential in converting heather than missionaries from any other country. This is accounted for by the fact that there is a feeling of hatred in the hearts of those people toward their rulers—a feeling that is increased by tbe pride, cruelty, drunkeness and licentiousness of the representatives of the British government and the officers and soldiers of tbe army. Whereas, the reputation of the Ameri can governmant as being a land of tbe free, whose people are opposed to op pression in every form, precedes tbe missionary and opens the hearts of the hearers to his teachings. Tbe clergy of this country are injuring their cause by failing to follow tbe ex ample of Christ in rebuking hypocrites in high places and preaching truth to an erring world." eJPj«r.wvln euro,..." to some point in Nebraska. They had just landed a few days ago in New York city. An Ancient Belie. Mrs. C. H. Foster, one of Missouri Valley's pioneer citizens, brought with her on her return from the east, a few days ago, an ancient relic, entitled: "Connecticut Evangelical Magizine." It was edited by Elijah l'arsons^A. Chas. Backus, A. David ElyuA. Nathan Strong, A. Natbap Perkins, A. Abel Flint, A. and a host of others equally talented. It was published by Hudson & Goodwin. Hartford, Conn., for the editors, and the first number was published in July, 1800. It consists of twelve numbers one for each month of the year and the profits that arose from the work were used for the purpose of creating a permanent fund interest of the money arising from the funds after properly invested to be used for the support of missions in the the then new Ameri can settlements, and among the heath ens at that time. It bears the mark of a rifle bullet, havihg gone all the way through the book and came out the opposite side, as it is bound in book form, the pages about as large as a Sunday school lesson leaf of the present time. It is bound with sheep's skin. One pe culiar thing about the composition is that f's are used for 8 for instance if we would wish to say: "thus things passed on it would be written: "thuf thingf parted on." It is clearly and purely a religious magazine and all the obselete and other wise ancient names of the different powers of that time are mentioned by the many eminent editor* of that day. It also shows the same reliance and dependence upon the Deity as has always characterized our pioneer settlers. It is generally supposed that some one of tbe generals in tbe war of 1812 was carrying this book, and while in his possession, a bullet fro^i the enemy pierced it$ folds. Mrs. Foster, presented the work to R. H. Harris, upon her return from Vermont. It is a highly prized relic, and the donor no doubt, regards tbe gift with less enviousness than does the recipient. It would be interesting to tell our readers, who had once had possession of the memoir, but that we cannot do, to our regret. The papers of Jowa contend that the corn(\elds of that state look finer and tetter than those of Kansas. The way to test this is to select samples from tbe fields of both states, stand them side by side, and let the corn stalk.—Columbus Times.

The October number of the Patent Record, a finely illustrated and excel lently edited monthly, published In Baltimore, has just been issued, and bears out the reputation of its pre decessors. The publication is devoted to the interests of American invention and while of particular value to men with new and original ideas, whiah cin be turned to good account for the benefit of mankind, it is of consider able interest to all who are concerned in the progress of the arts and sciences. The latest number contains some especially valuable articles. There is story on "Impossible Invention," dealing with sone of the curios of the United States Patent oflice. Another tells of "The Work, Records and Ro mances of the Hydrographic Oflice." There are also "Village Improvement Societies." "Evolution of the Battle ship," "Telegraphy's Birthplace." All these stories are abundantly illustrated with half-tone pictures of the highest order. There are nlso articles on "Foreign Patents," "Finding Capital foi'Inventors," "Some Odd Novelties "Inventions Wanted" and a score of others. The Patent Record offers a free trip to the Paris Exposition for a sugges tion or idea from its subscribers, full particulars of which are given in the current issue. Philippine Campaign. Not afoot of definite progress has beon made in Luzon. Otis holds a shoestring line from Imus on tbe south to San Fernando on the north, about sixty miles in length and about half a mile wide. It is known that tbe in surgents maintain gueriili parties within rille shot of the railroad from one end of the line to the ot r. They attack in force within four miles of the heart of Manila, practically in the suburbs of the city. Only last week they were for the fourth time dislodged from Old Cavite where Dewey landed his marines a year ago last May. So far as the American correspondents and unprejudiced observers can dis cover the war may continue for the next ten years on the same line. Far from being discouraged, Aguinalda seems to be quite as aggressive as ever, McKinley's stumping tour through tho west with a cabinet accompani ment is a boomerang. He was called to nave the party from disaster by bringing back into line the thousands of voters whom his Imperialistic policy was rapidly alienating, To do this he was expected to answer the charges which have poured in upon the con duct of tbe administration from every direction of incompetence and corrup tion in the Philippine campaign, ot r. •V/Jp.'ji ', -lw.KH» Ll^f. .. ft V' r» A $?'"vS' ,/» t.

He also wishes to contradict the report that has gained cur rency to the effect that tho nurse, Sallie Brandeth, in attend ance to Mrs. Miller, did not per form true service. She did every thing required of a nurse, and Miller wishes it understood, that he has no fault to find whatever, and is confident Miss Brandt did her work well and faithful!?.
