Hopefnl Signs. Since the American soldiers at Manila were first attacked by the Tagal rebels under Aguinaldo the heart of the nation has been cheered many times by the prediction that the end of the insurrection was at hand. But each announcement of peace proved to foe pre mature, and our boys have had to dive into the jungles again to drive the brown men from another stronghold nnd to capture another capital. The (American soldier has covered himself with glory, and the campaign in Luzon hao added another long roll of Ameri can names to the scroll of fame. The operations have been beset with natur difficulties that more than offset the inferior knowledge and armament of the enemy.

It was pure piucK ana courage that enabled the American soldier to advance in the face of the opposition offered by the Tagals and the nature of their country. But our hoys, under their able officers, kept everlastingly at it, and now it is perceptible to all men that the life of the insurrection is nearly spent. The recent operations have been of the decisive character. The main body of the Tagals under Aguinaldo are practically cut off from retreat. Our advices say that the leader of the insurrection is again suing for peace and this time is willing to accept such terms as he can get.

The futility of resisting American civilization, which was apparent to others from the first, has been firmly impressed upon the rebellious Tagals. We believe peace to be at hand. There are few who will rejoice at the signs pointing to a speedy lending of the difficulties which have prevented the spread of order and good government throughout the Philippine islands. fAthletics and Schools. The subject of college athletics is one which engages the attention of a large part of the public outside of the universities.

There is at the present moment a deal of interest in the alleged adverse attitude of the Yale faculty to ward athletics. Yale has always been looked upon as a leader in the college athletic world, so that when the state 'ment went abroad that the "Yale faculty is down on athletics," it created 'no little surprise. And yet there is 'good grounds for the statement, for if the faculty of the New iHaven university is not "down on" athletics, it has given considerable evidence that it that the athletic business may Jje overdone. During the past four fhonths the Yale faculty has vetoed a half dozen proposed athletic contests. During the past few years a long list of restrictions have been put upon ath Jetics at New Haven.

The entire direction of these restrictions has been toward restricting the college athletics to the fields they already occupy, and confining them to as narrow a sphere as possible. The taste for wholesome sports which require the exercise af brawn and brain is ingrained in the American youth, and it is but natural that it should manifest itself at our colleges, where young men with a plenlitude of both brain and fcrawn congregate. The exercise of the manly faculties required in athletics is to be encouraged within proper restrictions. But that the athletic business unay be overdone is evidently the opinion of men whose observations are made from such a vantage ground as that of the Yale faculty. It is worthy of note that the men who direct the thought of the great university have coma to such a conclusion.

It might be studied with interest by some persons in this vicinity who have evinced a disposition to make some academic institutions ridiculous by their strainrtg to emulate uhe great universities in the matter of athletics. Ghosts at the Peace Conference. Among the ghosts which stalk at the International Peace Conference are the wrongs which Poland, has suffered for the past century, and well may they make uneasy the pillow of the founder of the occasion. A committee of Polish citizens of, the United States have formulated an address to the people of the United States and all other civilized nations in which they assume the right of promoting the interests of Poland on the eve of the peace conference. They explain that they take this responsibility upon themselves because the Polish people "under the governments of Russia, Austria and Prussia cannot openly demand that this wrong be righted, because they would lay themselves open to the charge of treason under the laws of the governments of which they are unwilling subjects." They say: "We belong to a nation which in spite of its one hundred years of enslavement has never renounced her inherent and inalienable rights." Of the advanced position of Poland before she became the victim of the de spoilers, it says: "During the second half of the last century, when in Europe under the reign of absolute kings and emperors it became the fashion to ad ocate theories about 'rights of mankind' enunciated by the French socialists, and which caused a universal chaos and bloodshed, Poland adopted a constitution which won the unstinted praise of all civilized nations, a constitution designed to make all classes and creeds equal before the law without curtailing the privileges of nobles who did not belong to the prevailing Catholic belief." That the persecutions of modern despotism cannot crush out the national spirit is shown by the list of illustrious names in the manifesto.

These are a wonderful illustration of how a people robbed of their independence may impress themselves on the art, literature and history of the world. The case is stated in the address of the Polish people as follows: "Though their schools In the Russian and Prussian provinces are not conducted in accordance with their Ideas they nevertheless possess their periodicals which spread learning and instil in the minds of their compatriots a true comprehension of their rights and du ties to their native land. Over 300 publications of various forms and character many in editions of thousands are Bent to the homes of the peasants, the palaces of the noblemen and the cottages of the laborers and mechanics. In these publications the Polish people learn that, though they are oppressed in the arena of public life, they must never abandon their national aspirations. An illustrious example of this spirit is the immortal Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, who was surrounded by a pleiad of contemporary poets, novelists, dramatists, thinkers, sages, whose names were almost as well known to the world as that of Henryii Sien kiewisz, whose works have been translated In most of the modern languages.

Besides this group of Polish writers there is another group representing art. Matejko and Siemiradzki are the masters of the Polish pencil; not far from them in the niche of fame must be allotted a place to those masters of the Polish chisel, Godebski and Baroncz. "Chopin, Monjuszko, Wieniawski and Paderewski as original composers and performers of the works of other masters have charmed throngs of worship pers of music. Sembnch Kochanska, Mierwinski and trie De Reszke brothers astonish musical audiences with their incomparable voices. In Madame Mod jeska the stage possesses a worthy representative, who was equalled by her two predecessors, Krolikowski and Kiolkowski.

The young inventor Szczepanik has just been compared to Edison. Our historian, Lelewel, enjoyed the confidence and friendship of the king of Belgium. Our great financier, Walewski, left an impress upon the economic thought of France. Napoleon III. often sought the advice of Prince Czartoryski, while our geologist, Duni kovvski, has been entrusted by the Austrian and French governments with special missions in his field of labor.

Our representatives in the parliaments, Kantak, Niegolewski, Czarlinski, Motty and Rev. Jazdzewski, have been untiring in their efforts to secure redress for the wrongs suffered by Poland and the Polish people." There they are. Captains, statesmen, philosophers, artists, men who have added to the fame of other countries what they could not give to their own. They emphasize the pathetic story of the rape of Poland. The committee is not withouti reason in its claims that "this rich pantheon of our nation potently demonstrates the vitality of the Polish people and their rights to a separate existence.

There has not been a single field of human activity which tends to the advancement of civilization in which they have not participated and rendered signal services to humanity. For this reason the Polish people ought to be represented at the international conference." And this is one of the ghosts that will stalk about the ancient palace in Holland's summer capital, while high mannered gentlemen prate of peace and dis armament. But the governments ot Europe cannot lay down their arms while nations are held in bondage and noble peoples retain their heritage of manhood. Liberalizing Influences in Russia. The liberal leaven seems to be working in Russia, through the commercial interests of the empire.

The policy of seclusion which shut the subjects of the Czar from all intercourse with their neighbors under other governments is gradually crumbling before the advances of enlightened public policy. The energies and resources of the Russian empire are wonderful and the statesmen who administer the affairs of the country show no disposition to retard their development through prejudice or conservatism. An illustration of this Is found in a secret report lately submitted by the Russian minister of finance, M. Witte, for the consideration of the Czar and the other ministers. The report was prepared in relation to the acquisition of land by foreigners in the Caucasus.

A decree had been drawn up forbidding the ownership of land in that part of the empire, except on the express permission of hte governor of the province, with the indorsement of the minister of finance and of the minister of agriculture. The seriousness of such a step is described in a recent number of Brad street's which discussed the matter. It meant, to all intents and purposes, says that journal, "the cessation of the development of the oil and iron industries of the region, in which a considerable amount of foreign capital had already been invested and in which further Investments of the same kind might confidently be looked for under a continuance of pre existing conditions. This fact was clearly recognized by M. Witte, who, in the report to which reference has been made, pointed out in an emphatic way the impolicy of the proposed decree." M.

Witte set forth, in the first place, thnt the proposed decree would make an exceedingly bad impression in western Europe, more particularly in the United Kingdom, and would prevent the investment of British money in the Caucasus. This, M. Witte said, would be a very detrimental policy. Russia, he insisted, is very much behind western and central Europe in economic development; she has not a sufficient supply of accumulated capital, and stands greatly in need of foreign capital as an aid in the development of her resources. There is, he said, so little native capital available for industrial enterprises that to refuse the co operation of foreign capitalists in the exploitation of the natural riches of Russia would be tantamount to voluntary acquiescence in industrial stagnation.

He pointed out that at present nearly all the markets of Europe are closed by customs tariffs against Russia. The duties in Germany almost equal the cost of production in Russia and the du ties in France even exceed the cost. There is one European country which opens its ports to all other nations, namely, the United Kingdom, and yet in the total trade of that country Russia has but a small share. London Is the only money market in which Russia can hope to borrow freely. But it should not be forgotten that in England investment is governed by public opinion, and public opinion is largely dependent upon political considerations.

If the people of the United Kinghom once get it into their heads that there Is an In tention on the part of the Russian government to prevent the right of acquiring land by foreigners British capital, the most mobile and the most easily available in the world, will not find its way into Russia, and the Czar's government would be found to have thrown away one of the most powerful aids to Russia's economic and industrial development. The policy of M. Witte is contrary to the putative characteristics of the reigning dynasty In Russia. It shows a capability of setting aside ancient prejudices and enmities for the good of the nation. It is, moreover, a guarantee of peace such as no conference of ambassadors could give.

For if Russia invites and protects the investment of British capital within her borders the possibil THE SCRAXTCXN REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1899 ity of war between those two great powers is rendered more remote. With the growth of close commercial and financial relations between Russia and England are a menace to the peace of the world is reduced to a minimum. Moreover, the enlightened policy of M. Witte promises a rapid development of the resources of the empire which will please the people of the United States who remember the traditional friendship of the Czars to this country, which manifested itself more than once when it proved of incalculable benefit to the nation.

A splendid one 'twould be; Unlike the circus shows that in these days boys go to see. I wouldn't have a leopard or a lion in the place, Nor would I let a monkey show his ugly 9 little face. But I would fill it up with things like fairies, elves and gnomes, Such as we read about in books of fairy tales and "pomes," I'd have a big volcano throwing flames up to the sky, And real, cold, icy icebergs, with great whales a swimming by.

And in a little side show I would have a burning lake. And in another there would be a fearful big earthquake. And 'stead o' camels, 'rang tangs, and other stupid things, I'd have a lot of cages chock up full o' Queens and Kings. And then I'd have a pair o' huge big ogres with one eye, And four and twenty puppy dogs all baked into a pie, For them to eat at show time, so tljat little boys could see How really awful terrible those ogre men can be. I'd have a hen to lay g.old eggs and harps that play themselves, And bags and bags o' bean stalk beans a climbing over shelves; And Jacks and Hop my Thumbs to fight the giants every day, Just as those splendid fairy story books of mine all say.

I wouldn't charge a penny for admittance to my show. Of course, 'twould be a most expensive thing to run, I know; But 1 could well afford it. I could make that circus pay By selling off the golden eggs the gold egg hen would lay. John Kendrick Banks. A DISCREDIT TO BRADFORD COUNTY From the Philadelphia Press.

One of the most extraordinary resolutions ever passed in a political convention was solemnly adopted by the Quay convention in Bradford County the other day. It censured the anti Quay members of the Legislature for failure to enact revenue measures, and thus giving Governor Stone the excuse for cutting down the school appropriation. We hesitate to believe that any convention of citizens even those whose morals had become calloused by machine methods could be so dishonest as to adopt such a declaration if they knew the facts. We must therefore assume that the Bradfodl convention was acting in ignorance, and that a few truths bearing upon the subject will not be wholly unwelcome to at least some of the delegates who composed its membership. It is perfectly well known to all who kept familiar with the proceedings of the Legislature that the House was an anti Quay body and the Senate a Quay body and that revenue legislation was killed in the Senate, and by the votes of Senators who were supporting Mr.

Quay, exactly as ballot reform was killed. It was the constitutional duty of the House to originate revenue measures, and that anti Quay body passed several bills which went to the Senate. It passed what was known as the Creasy grangers' tax bill, which it was estimated would have returned to the state something over a million dollars a year, the amount that Governor Stone is reported to expect to cut the school appropriation. This bill put additional taxes on corporations. Under the lead of John C.

Grady, a Quay senator the Quay majority in the Senate defeated this revenue bill which the anti Quay House hatt passed. The anti Quay house also passed, a bill to additionally tax foreign corporations, the corporations organized in other States and coming into Pennsylvania to do business in competition with our own organizations. This bill was killed by the Quay influence in the Quay senate. The an tQuay House passed a bill to tax beer, from which some $800,000 a year' would have been realized. The brewers, under the lobby lead of William H.

Andrews, had enough influence with the Quay members of the Quay Senate to kill the beer tax and thus give Governor Stone a pretext for cutting down the school appropriation. If the revenue measures which originated in the anti Quay House and were passed by that body had not been defeated by the Quay influence in the Quay Senate, the revenues of the State would have been increased by not less than $2,000,000 a year. That would have made it impossible to find any excuse for reducing the school appropriation. It is difficult to understand how any one so ignorant as the writer of the resolution could have got into the Bradford county convention. It discredits the intelligence of the county.

The fun that the Elks made at their minstrel show was discussed by a number of story tellers who came together at the city hall yesterday. The discussion led to a number of tales. One member of the group told about a foot race that two Elks once engaged in.

The men ran around the block in a direction opposite to each other. The best runner lost the race through a policemen stopping him, demanding to know what was the matter. Some of this runner's brother Elks had, just for the fun of the thing, prevailed on the policemani to delay the sprinter long enough to cause him to lose. The former hotel keeper's story: A man became riotous in his place and he put him out. The man vowed he would get even.

He went home, got a big hammer, came back, got mixed up, threw the hammer through a plate glass window in the wrong house and did a lot of damage. He was arrested and sent to jail for 60 days. City hall employe's story: A councilman met a "half loaded" farmer In a saloon and promised him a job in the Scranton fire department. One of the requirements, he said, was ability to climb the sliding pole at the engine house. The councilman had previously won two easy bets from the farmer and next bet him $5 that he couldn't climb the pole.

The pole is as smooth as glass; nobody ever thinks of climbing it. The councilman, the farmer and others went from the saloon to a nearby engine house. The farmer placed his big hands about the pole and amazed everybody by not only climbing easily to the firemen's sleeping room, but clear to the roof of the building. The laugh was on the councilman, who paid the bet in a ruffled manner. The farmer had "hit him with a pole" and "dumb" over him.

Rev. George Everett Guild, D. of this city, one of the ministerial delegates from the Lackawanna Presbytery to the One Hundred and Eleventh general assembly of the Presbyterian church at Minneapolis, is a native of Walton, N. Y. His paternal greatgrandfather fought in the war of the revolution and his grandfather in the war of 1.X12.

The last named was a native of Connecticut and became a pioneer at Walton, N. Y. Truman Guild, Dr. George Everett Guild's father, was born at Milford, and held the rank of lieutenant in the anti rent war. On moving from Milford he settled at Walton.

A few months after graduating from Walton academy in the fall of 1872, George Everett Guild entered Amherst college, from which he graduated in 1876 with the degree of A. B. He next studied for a year at tile theological seminary of Yale. After this he attended the Union Theological seminary at New York two years. During his senior year he was assistant to Rev.

Dr. Buddington of Brooklyn. In February, 1879, he came to Scranton and supplied the pulpit of the Providsnee Presbyterian church until his graduation a few months later. His pastorate there began on May 1, 187S). The Providence congregation was organized 50 years ago and is fthe second oldest in the city.

It owns property worth Dr. Guild was for seven years president of the association of Presbyterian Ministers of Scranton and for two years president of the Alumni Association of Walton, academy. His doctor of divinity degree was conferred by Washington college. The other delegates from Lackawanna Presbytery to the general assembly are Dr. P.

The Presbyterian denomination has 1,000,000 communicants, 7,000 ministers, 7,000 churches and a Sunday school membership of over 1,000,000. This represents what is known as the iNorthern Presbyterian church. When the southern states seceded nearly 40 years ago, the Presbyterians of the south formed a distinctive denomination, which still retains its own individuality. To carry on the work of the church last year required an expenditure of over $10,000,000. Nearly $1,000,000 of this amount was expended on home missions, while over $700, 000 went abroad.

The church has 12 theological seminaries and some 40 colleges under its control. Ex President Cleveland has declined an invitation to fish in the Parkside Angling association's preserves, Monroe county, on account of a previous engagement. Rev. A. T.

Broderlck who was recently appointed the first resident Catholic pastor of Montrose is a native of Archbald and before going to Montrose was an assistant priest at St. Patrick's West Scranton. The Montrose Republican gives the following account of an event in which he took a prominent part: At half past 7 o'clock on Sabbath evening the Presbyterian church was packed to its utmost capacity by an audience that had assembled to listen tap the Baccalaureate address to the graduating class of the High school. With the last stroke of the tolling bell, Revs. A.

L. Benton, D. E. K. Thomas.

H. B. Benedict, E. A. Warriner, and Father Broderick entered and took seats on the pulpit platform.

The members of the graduating class entered and took the front pews which had been reserved for hem. while Mrs. N. H. Shafer at the organ played the processional Rev.

Father Brodrick arose and addressing the reverend gentlemen, the brethren of the laity, and the young ladies andv gentlemen of the graduating class 'of the high school said: "To night we your friends, standing, as it were, on what is for the most of you the threshold of life, take you by the hand to steady your step for a moment more; then with a prayer for your safety in our hearts, will bid you go forth innto the world, there to take up each for himself the struggles of life." It is impossible to do justice to the eloquent address which followed without publishing it in full; our crowded columns and lack of time do not admit of that this week, but in next week's issue we hope to give the entire address. The heads were: "Growth as a progress, is a law of nature; Obedience, Honesty, Charity and Fortitude." Grand Chief Conductor Clark, of the Order of Railway Conductors has rec commended to the order that a reserve fund be established in the neighborhood, it is said, of $500,000. There are about 17,000 out of the 24,000 conductors who carry insurance in the order. All new members are compelled to take the insurance. Some time ago it was suggested that the strike fund, $100,000 be consolidated with other funds to make up a reserve fund.

Mr. Clark, it is said, opposed this. During a strike the conductors involved received $50 per month. While the majority of the conductors favor a reserve fund of some kind it is believed that with the strike' fund included it will not be placed at more than $250,000. Several plans to raise reserve funds are proposed.

One is to assess each member $1 extra on a thousand. Another is to each member $1 on the thousand for the number of year he has carried insurance. And another suggests the increase of the initiation fee from $15 to $30. At the present time the insurance fund has about $00,000 to its credit. A favored plan Is to cut down the common fund to $30,000, placing the remaining to the credit of a reserve fund and then add, in addition to the $1 extra assessment on a thousand, all over the amount of the claim in the event of a death.

By this means a heavy fund could be quickly raised and the regular assessment be resumed. The assessments aggregate $14 a year for each member. The National headquarters of the or def will be moved to Des 'Moines, la. That city's offer is five years' rent of nine office rooms in the new Younger man building, including heat, light and janitor service. At the end of five years the order will not pay more than $1,200 a year.

If the order desires to erect a building, the people of Des Moines will give substantial assistance. All the expenses of moving, those of the grand officers and employes included, will be defrayed by the city of Des Moines. It is said that the pesent expenses of the Cedar Rapids office are $2,000 a year. What will Happen to the Bible From the New York Sun. The Bible is now and has been for many years by far the most extensively circulated book in the world.

It is sent forth annually by millions of copies, and among the religious agencies receiving most largely the contributions of the pious throughout the Protestant world are the Bible societies. The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages and dialects. Thirty years ago their number, as given by the British and Foreign Bible society alone, was 173. Missionaries have constructed written languages for many peoples and tribes, with the single object of translating the Bible for their instruction in the way of salvation, and they have performed their pious task at the expense of enormous labor always, oftentimes of great sacrifice, and sometimes of cruel martyrdom. The whole missionary zeal of Protestantism has been inspired by ab solue faith in the Bible as the inspired and unerring Word of God.

i Now, what will happen if the view of the Bible held and propagated by the Briggs school becomes prevalent? Will not people begin to refuse contributions of money for the circulation of a book which they are taught to regard as human in its errors, more or less spurious in its authorship, largely fictitious, utterly incredible in its assertion of miracles as facts, and altogether misleading? If it is as faulty as Dr. Briggs and his fellow scholars make out, does not fairness to the people require that it should be published with warning explanations of its fallacies, contradictions, inventions and misstatements, so that no one shall ba deceived Tis a Sight to Behold Frim the Harlem Life. "Women are cats," snapped Jarley, viciously. "Nonsense," said Dawson. "Did you ever see a woman try to climb a fence?" Shop Girl's Hard Lot.

From the New York Press. Persons complain that shopgirls do not jump actively to wait upon them when they enter a store. Why not? The other day I saw a girl approach a respectably dressed woman of middle age (that's thirty five), and heard her ask over the counter: "What would you like ma'am?" To this polite attention I was' shocked to hear the woman reply: "You shut up; don't you talk to me. I can ask for what I want, and I don't want any impudence from clerks." A few rebuffs from such creatures are quite enough to cool the ardor of any shopgirl. POINTED PARAGRAPHS From the Chicago News.

From the Independent. Today, without the slightest inconvenience, one may travel from sixty to ninety miles an hour, and even more, and it is probable that in a comparatively short time, by the introduction of electricity and the perfection of the steel highways over which our people will be transported we shall be able to travel with perfect ease and comfort at a speed of from 125 to 150 miles an hour, and ultimately considerably higher.

Is now assuming a rational and decent shape, we should Ilka to make one small suggestion. The enthusiasm of the American people is intelligible enough, and its is unquestionably creditable to all of them.

He deserves much at our hands, and, if we owe him anything at all, we are under the most binding obligations to pay that debt in some" fashion that will not distress and injure him. It is now generally understood thanks to the good sense and good feeling of the multitudethat he does not want, and could not, without serious inconvenience to himself, accept the numerous banquets and Jollifications that have been proposed. We have abandoned the idea of shocking him with ebulli litions and undermining his system with stupid banquets. It remains, therefore, to honor him in some other way, and the proposition to present him with a house possesses all the elements of courtesy and common sense, without losing the smallest touch of enthusiastic gratitude. We cordially support this plan, and shall encourage it in every way.

April 24. 1809. 4t24 of a son. A great and gaudy mansion, choked by luxurious accessories and lost in space and room, would be of no use to him whatever. On the contrary, it would be a grievous burden, if not, indeed, a real affliction.

Twenty five or $30,000 would secure for him a home in the locality he prefers, and the rest of the money subscribed should be invested in such manner as to enable him to maintain his establishment in proper style. To invest him with a gorgeous mansion would be to make him a Sinbad with the Old Man of the Sea permanently fixed upon his shoulders. We stand second to none in admiration of Dewey as a man, a commander, and a diplomat. We regard his achievement as the most brilliant and the most perfect of the war. There can be nothing too good for him.

He deserves it all. But the tribute can reach the point of persecution, and we seek to stop it short of that. Too Vulear. From the Louisville Dispatch. Tommy I'm going to begin common fractions tomorrow, ma.
