Per President WILLIAM M'KIXLEY, Of Ohio. Por Vice-President THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Of New York. The missionaries In China are re ported to be complaining because the punishment the allies have been Ir.fllctinK upon the Boxers has not bwn severe enough. They have evidently for gotten what their Master said about turning the other cheek to him who who had struck a blow upon the one. The exlstlns tendency towards liber ality in religious opinions Is exempli fied in the growth among; the member ship of the Presbyterian church of the demand for a revision of their anti quated creed with expansion In phy sical affairs, expansion in the intellec tual realm is naturally linked. Church- Janity Is giving way to the more sim ple, more practical and more nearly perfect Christianity, until It Is no long er heterodox to believe that followers of another faith than our own are like ly to stand as good a chance as our selves in the great hereafter. The world has been indoctrinated to death and Is ripe for a movement which Is bound to come in the not distant fu ture the simplification of the creeds of the various denominations to a com mon basis where consolidation wli be not only possible but practicable and an accomplished fact. THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER. New York Tribune. Fic-sident McKlnley's letter accepting the Republican nomination is a docu ment which places the Democratic can didal under obligations to stop phrase making; and soberly tll what Mr. Me Kinley could have done, what he him self would have done had he occupied the executive chair, to avoid the present situation In the Philippines and save the country from the menace of Imoer lallsm about which he Is so much con cerned. The president elves all the attention to his paramount Issue that he could ask. ;nd gives It In the form of a careful review of events from the beginning of the war with Spain, show ing; convincingly how every step of the government of necessity followed from what had gone before, and how Impos sible It wis for any administration re gardful of National honor and foreign and domestic obligations to do any thing different from what was done. , Glibly to the tongue of Mr. Bryan cemffl the cant about militarism and the conquest of a people struggling to be free. But It Is safe to say that he will be as chary about meeting the dcl'nite questions raised In Mr. Mc Klr.ley's letter s he has been about telling whether or not he will nt once order home the trooo3 and leave his Tagalog allies to what b savs lr. their rightful freedom or whether or not he will force silver dollars on creditors desiring gold, if he Is made riresldent. The extended extract from Instructions and correspondence which the prf-pidfnt gives shows beyond all doubt our abso lute good faith In df allng with the Tag alogs and their absolute bad faith In dealing with us. Even before the pro tocol was signed or Manila was taken they had assumed an attitude of hos tility. They were without provocation predisposed to make any accommoda tion Impossible which did not involve, even while we were still engaged In actual hostilities with Spain, the sur render of the Islands to them for rule or rapine, a step which we could not have taken without violating our ob ligations as a elvlllzed power. Then, before the treaty was ratified, while the Bacon resolution, which would have given them what they bskoX was still pending, they attacked our troops and plunged us Into a rlrnggle to maintain our authority and defend out honor. It Is easy to say Dewey should have bill ed away, or terms thould have been made. But the president shows how, at every point, any such resolution was Impossible and sums ud with those pointed Inquiries: "Would not our adversaries haw sent Dewey's feet to Manila to capture and destroy the Spanish sea power there, or. dispatching it there, would they have withdrawn It after the destruc tion of the Spanish .leot; and. If the latter, whither would they have direct ed It to sail? Where could it have gone? What port in the Orient was open to It? Do our adversaries con demn th expedition under the com mand of General Merrltt to strengthen Dewey In the distant ocean nn.l assist in our triumph over Spain, with which nation we were at war? Was It not our highest duty to strike Spain at every vulnerable point that the war might be successfully concluded at the ear liest practicable moment? "And was it not our duty to pro tect the lives r.nd property of those who came within our control by the for tunes cf wur? Could ws have come away at any time between May 1. 1S9S, and the conclusion of rx-ace without a stain upon our good name? "Could we rave come away without dishonor at any time after the ratifi cation of the peace treaty by the sen ate of the United States? "There has been no time since the destruction of the enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Phil ippine Archipelago. After the treaty of peace was ratified no power but con gress couli surrender our sovereignty or alfenate a foot of the territory thus acquired. The congress has not seen fit to do the one or the other, and the president had no authority to do elth er. if he had been so inclined, which he was not. So long as the sovereignty remains in us it !s the duty of the executive, whoever he may be. to up hold that sovereignty and. If It be at tacked, to suppress Its assailants. Would our political adversaries do less?" The president gives the larger part of his attention to Mr. Bryan's para mount Issue, but he does not neglect other topics. Particularly notlcable Is his treatment of the silver question, proving free silver to be the Immediate menace which the three parties sup porting, Bryan ara.,united to force upon the- couAtry. Everything that was dan gerous in the Chicago platform Is still dangerous, for it has been reaffirmed in soberness and in the face of the eachirg of four years. Everybody who was for sound money in 159? has rea son to be for sound money now. and, in spite of all the demagogic outcry about Imperialism, no reason to desert the party through which was found safety for the country then, as It can alone be found now. 'I had a running sore on my leg for seven years." writes Mrs. Jas. Forest, of Cheppewa Falls, Wis., "and spent hundreds of dollars In trying to get It healed. Two boxes of Banner Sulv. entirely cured it." CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist Most people who try to ride the wheel of fortune, manage to puncture the tire before they get very far. A good many consumptives would be cured and the worst cases comforted and relieved by using Foley's Honey and Tar. Suggest It to those afflict ed. You should do this as a friend. CHAS. ROGERS, Druggist. Once a wheel always a wheel; first a bicycle then a tandem, and last but not least a baby carriage.
