He rerotauiriids settlement upon Spain granting local sell government under the sovereignty of Spain as the most feasible p'an under presetit condition?. The Cubans have no faith in the proumes of Spain and therefore are opposed to any temporiz ing arrangements. This spirit of the Cubans tho president recognizes to exiit and that they are Btill determined to hold out. While such a state of affairs contiunes, neither party are able to maintain anything Hie a covernment, except on paper, the presi dent does not recommend to congress the advisabilitv cf recognizing either belligeratit rights to the Cubans or an acknowledgement of their independence. fie does object, however, to the United States allowing any other power acquiring control over Cuba, ihe prest- seems disposed to allow congress to pur suits course in the matter without any executive recommendation, li- gives congress no advice nor recommends any line of action. Heading between the lines it is plainly perceived his sym pathies are with the Cubans in tbeir B'.rngsle for independence. The president states that the amonnt of metalic money in the United States, Jnce SO, 1S96, was l,22S.32fi,035 cf which t.599,537,054 was in gold and 62S.723.07l in silver.

Coilier in ihs Hail, ia discuising the merits stage said in part : Lowell of the "There is an old and plausible theory that if Christian people would all agree to sustain an entirely unexceptional performers, the theatre would be regen erated. It is a lamentable fact that this has proved to be an "iriedescent dream." The experiment has net proved successful when fairly attempted. The theatre manager is not a profe ional philanthropist ; be "runs" bis busi ness simply and solely to make money, He produces what pays best ; and if he can spice bis evening entertainment with a plot that turns on some sort of sexual depravity, or burlesque of evan gelical religion, or a shameless exposure ot physical beauty, the temptation to fill his coffers is too strong to be resisted The licentious stage and the Sabbath breaking press are both conducted for filthy lucre; and the Christian who con tiibntes to the support of either or both is responsible for the spiritual mischief that they work. A Christian needs recreation as much bp any one else; but that recreation only is fit for a true Cnristian nhtch makes the body healthier, tho mind clearer, and the immortal powers more vigorous. Whatever endangers self-purity and in names evil paseions is a einiui amuse ment. Wherever a Rervaut cf Christ cannot take his Master with him, he bas no right to eo; wherever he cannot ask a b!eeM"g on t.!a?ure, he ha no buxiiifps o le L' him try iliis umplo test on the average theatre, anl he will find that the outside of the plav-housu is the right side. There are certainly enough innocent and wholesome recre ations without vcntnriug upon one of doubtfnl morality much lets upon one which has wrought spiritual shipwreck upon thousands of souls. If the theatre has not helped many toward heaven, it has assuredly been to multitudes, es pecially of tho young, a gateway to per dition. Jesus Christ commands His followers to "come out and be separate;" ho drew a sharp, distinct dividing line be tween th6 "walking in tho Spirit" and fulfilling the lusts of the flash between the pleasures of sin and the pleasures of a clean heart and useful life. Thero is a tendency in these self-indulgent days to reduce this lino to a mere chalk mark, easily rubbed out? And when that di- rroing line is entirely eifaced, then the nominal Christian and the lreoplo ol 1 lie world cau dance together iu the cams ball-room, sit together around the same decanters of wiue, and occupy adjoining J bosesin tho sarco theatre! How lone will it tale for such a Christianity to convert this world to the Bervico of God?" From tho above extract it appears Hint the Clnistiatiu themselves are measurably responsible for ''immorali tiea of tbc s'ace " They patroniro ita "shameless exposures of physical beautv." Ditl thoy patronize only those plays oi an unexceptional chnractor and keep aloof from thoso that turn in eonio sort of poxual depravity ' they mi?ht uurifv thu staiM and make it a mighty hrc nry iu cultivating "puro in tellectual enioyinont s'ich as that from Hamlet and sjmtt kindred masterpeircs of genius impressively rendered," as Mr. Collier terms them.

Thu .Mental Culturo Club of Roseburg held its first annual meeting, Saturday afternoon iu tho Firemen's Hall. Flans of work for tho ensuing year were discussed and tho annual election of officers took placo rosulting as follows : President, Mrs. G. It. Child ; 1st vice president, Mrs. Flint; 2nd vico presi dent, Mrs. Aikon; 3rd vice president, Mrs. Godficy; secretary, Mrs. A. Sheri dan ; assistant secretary, Mrs. ead ; treasurer, Miss Howell. Bv reoueat Mrs. Child submits for publication her report to tho club mem here. ANNUAL ItHl'OIIT. Our secretary's book gives, think, December 21, 1805, as the birthday ol our club. I piefer to think that the birthday was in November, and that that later date was the christening, the giving the annronrLite name. "The '1)3 Mental Culture Club." Before I begin my annual report, I do not think it out of place to dwell upon the annronriatcness of this title, to dwell upon how much the word "cul turo" ought to mean tp every one in gen eral, to our club members in particular It is a word that has becomo almost hackneyed to some, iu its meaning of a uiero smattering of book knowledge, with the addition of some uf the polith of society. But I waut to impress upon vou tho real worth of the word. I shall tell vou what the crea'.eat teacher of true culture in modern literature, Mat thew Arnold, save about culture: "It is in niakiug endless additions to itself, in tho endless expansion of its powers endless growth in wisdom and purity that tho spirit of tho human race fiuds its ideal. To reach this ideal, culturo is an indispensable aid. Tint is the true value of culture, Not a having and a resting, but a groiung and a t ecoming is human character as culture coLceives it. Here tho culture coinctdc3 with re liiion." One of the first motives Arn old goes ou to tell ns a great French writer says: "One of the tirai motives which ought to impel us to ttcdy is to rendrr an intelligent being yet more in telligent." The next etep Arnold Rivec, is not merely the endeavor to see and leirn but the endeavor to make the see ing and learning prevail. This author S3 often uses a term from Dean Swilt tint this terra has passed into literature as Matthew Arnold's definition of cul ture. It is the words "Sweetness and Light." I want voa to remember the union of thoso two words not merely because they rightly hae become to famous, but lecause they are so true Can you find a shorter, truer definition? Swcc'ncss meaning the human kindli ness. Luht meaniug the willingness to learn and help others to learn? Dt you not see that culture is the pursuit of perfection, and perfection is the pursuit of "Sweetness and Light." To retell tho history ot onr year s work teems almost unLecetsary for you all kuow it so well. I need only to po:nt to the handsome bookcase and its contents the Encyclopedia Britannica. That represents something that we have accomplished. Stiil it is pleasant to recall today the determina tion with which we began our work a year ag Pleasant to recall that echo in our hearts, to the pessimist's "Oh that club won't live long," is forever stilled. We are only a year old, and if we have not increased in numbers, we have iu strength. Better still, we enter upon our second year with increased de termination, and the ability to tell the pessimist, if there be a solitary one left, that we are known by our works, that we still live, and what is better, shall continue to live. Wby enumerate the thinj we have done? Onr maiden efforts of the IV: bate and "The Bridgo" were fully ap preciated. The misgiving vou all felt about a pottery exhibit melted into thin air when you each discovered what treasures you had, and how the few reices from each made a collection we were all proud of. 15ut the history of one entertainment is Ibe history of all. We did not kpow what we could do, or what we weuld like till we tried. Our beat eucce-s is that wo are willing to try azain and think that nothing now is be-' yond everjone's capacity of enjoyment. I want to make a brief references to tbe weekly meetings. I, as leader of two sections tbnnk you heartily for tho interest you have taken and the vtork you have accomplished, beset as you are with difficulties and hampered by tho lack of books. Tho musical directors too, join me in the thanks. Wo would like to have you answer these questions to youreelf. Has the year's studnng interfered materiallv with your house hold duties? Has it not rather tended to help you, especially along the line cf your children's education? Will you count to yourself how many books you have been lead to read, either wholly or in part? How much more interest in other thiugs'.' With this mental re sume can you not bo glad you have kept tho club alive by your prueenco and en couragement? For a club without tnatnbers would be like the play of Ham let with Hamlet left out. The next year's work is at hand. Having bo?un so early in October, we can feel free to closo by the first of May, earlier, if tho busy time of spring sew ing presses. After n well spent winter our conscience will not even lind the tii-Lt of April too early. My report cannot be all in tho major key of joyousness. Tho minor key of soi row must bo struck when I refer lo ourioas of Mrs. Kapp. Our apprecia tion of her worth aud her appteciation of thu work were mutual. Wo feel that a set and formal expresiiou of our sor row ia to-j cold too tiiuauitiglef-e, for sbo has gone fro.u a circle of intitnato friendj, nut from a r.ule-bouud associa tion. Thus it is that all of us foul that our sympathy is best told in our own quiet way, each ouo missing her from her accustomed chair mid oau'i one usy itig huw im licit we niicfc her. As I close, I must touch upon the har mony that has pervaded everything we do. I do not think anv one has felt tho pettinesses that haye alwayti been attri buted to women when they are associ ated with each other. Is not this very flexibility, this kindliness of spirit one of the rewards of culture pursues for cul ture's sake? May this kindliness, this pursuit of awoGtiiesi and light abido with us always.
