A SENSIBLE BRmSHEf
Englishmen are not all utterly selfleb,
There are as noble hearted men among
then as ire or tb fans ol the earth.
Not all of then take part la urging Mo
Kisley on to make of this republlo an
empire. There appeared In the Man
chester Guardian tb following:
"Tb American troop bav already
go through an arduous campaign
against tbs i'hlllplno. At tbe end of it,
and with six months Inactivity More
them tbey bar Just begun to appreciate
tb magnitude of tb task tbey bare set
tberaeelvee, Under these circumstance
It seems to us that it Is nothing sbort of
criminal folly to pat tb American peo
on tb back and assur them that
bey are a great nation and can do any
thing, Tb quettlonls not what tbey
can do, but what tbey ought to do, It
I not for Knglleb people to tell tbe
American what tbey ought to do from
tb point of view of Rieir own internets,
Tbey may be trusted to form a pretty
shrewd view of what their own interests
ar without much outeld assistance
and there ar happily not wanting signs
tbat they ar on tie way to do so. But
front the point of view of tbs Filipinos
tbsmslvM, It I permleelble for an out-
eider to say what be thinks tbe Ameri
can ought to do. It Is pretty clear tbat
the Filipinos, wleely or foolishly, do tol
want American civilisation. Tbey have
a perfect right to not want the bleeeinge
which America is Darning 10 www r
on them, America Is the very laei eoua
try in tbe world which has a rlgh to lm
pose thoe bleeslngs by foroe, ;

THE RAO Y OLE
Gaining in popularity every day
the record proves it. The in
crease in alest of the Kacycle is
simply phenomenal. The reason
is because the Kacycle is so (ar
ahead of all other wheels in exclu
sive and patented features that it
' stands in a class by itself, In the
Kacycle the chain and sprocket pull
between tHe . bearings, making it
run easier, and with 27 percent less ,
pressure on sprocket bearing, and
doing away with side draft. Come
in and let us show you the greatest
improvem'nt ever made on a wheel.

THE REAL OLD GOSPEL
Iter, fir, Jiowhind, of Lincoln, Treat His
OfinrKtlin to en Hour of It.
About tb yarl873 thechurob seemed
to proclaim a formal separation between
the precepts of Christ and the conduct of
men. in these latter years it is so sel
dom tbat tbe people ever bear any of
tbe real old gospel as hi was taught by
Christ himself, that jrliwi on doe It
sounds like the proclamation of an alto
getbwr new gospel and It I mighty good
to listen to. To such a proclamation
did the people of the First llaptlst
church listen to lust Hunduy, and every
rnuii went away a butter man for having
beard it. It wus In part as follows! ,
"Commercialism has been loudly her
aided as a the angel of dnllvcraijce,
Hend ship of commerce, steam and eleo
trlcul appliances, all directed by your
enterprising merchant, establish schools
to teach tbe sciences of civilisation, and
soon your burden will be able to car
for himself so say wiseacre. Tbat
obem bu been abundantly tried, Eng
land In Africa and In India and China;
Franc on tb Mediterruns'in, every
European commercial nation bas a long
tnl of eiperleucs, and It Is tb Mine,
When you read tbe story of the impeach
ment of Warren Hastings, tb represent
ative of England In India, you have tbe
whole record 01 tli power anil influence
of commercialism to bear "tbe while
man' burden," 'Tie a tnl of blood,
horror and shame, Commerce cheated
tb weak of their gold, ilvr, plts,
prssious stones and garments; amiion
ored womeuhood, bought and tnelaved
childhood, and made drunkards out ol
their men. It wu h band dripping with
new vices and fresh trlmes tb ftblfv man
stretched to hi burdening brother wheu
be touched bim with commerce, IN won
from bim dletrust, fear, and hatred. Ills
ship wo looked upon a th harbinger
Sf ruin and death, and hi trade was to
efraud.
"Another messenger of deliverance the
whit man sent to this poor whit bro
ther waa militarism. Th armlc of
Hurop bav tramped over th contin
ent and itlnnds, shooting their gospel
Into every creature, burying their con
verts, not In the holy water of baptism,
but under tbs sod and daisies that cover
the victim of bayonets And bullets.
"Tb military invasion of th land of
savages did ladeed replenish the coffers
of tbe invadere with spoils and filled tb
icbequersof kings with tbs plunder of
enforced tributes and tnies; but tbs
results to tbe oonquersd were spoliation,
slaughtor, enslavement and destruc
tion. '.
"Tbeioldler' bayonet never lifted up
ths savage man. Tbe evangelist whose
bible is tbs rile, whose sermon the bul
let, and wbos conversion Is death, can
never bear tbe whit man's burden and
and place It tit thsgat ol light and door
of pearl.
"Political Influence, oommorclal gains,
and national glory mayrcdound to our
nation from our victories In distant Isl
and over half civilised men; but our
Qatllugs and shells aud superb soldiers
will never mak tbem truet, love and
henor u a a CbrUtlun nation. Tbe
OsMhllKbt of emokeleee powder will never
reveal to tbem tbe path out of ignorance
treachery and sin, iuto Intelligence, truth
and rlKbteouanees, "War i bell" It
cam out of hell and It never can open
th gate of heavitn to a nation or an age.
The victory of Manila discovered to us
ns a nation a larg burden that veeds
bearing, but there It remains a mass of
Ignorance aud sin.
"Ibtcoguulng the failure of all those
human means to lift this 'white man's
burden1 out of tho mud and death in
which it wallows, k u immtidxr a power
the trtt name 'The l.nw of Christ.'
