CUBBBMT TOPICS. 

It DOW Mema that the policy of ar« 

bltratlng their dUputea baa been taoitly 

agreed upon by the United Statea 

and Great Britain. Laat week Lord 

Sallabury raoelred a deputation of 

over 1,000 working men who came to 

urge the adoption of thU môd 01 

aettUng our dlffloultlea. The Prime 

MInUter declared hlnuelf In hearty 

aympathy with the Idea, and aaid that 

negotlatlona had for aeveral moatha 

bMD pending looking to a final agreement 

on the matter. 

Since aiaumlng command of the 

Spaniab force* In Cuba, Oen. Wyler 

h»i by hla own count loat 10,000 men, 

and the Inaurreotlon ia no nearer 

"downed" than when Campoa reaign 

ed. Wyler aaya he cannot hope to 

bring the Inaurgenta In aubjectlon 

under two yeara. The Brltlah • doubtleas 

thought in 1716 that they could 

subdue the revolting colonlea in less 

than two yeara, but It required seven 

years, and when they did fetch up, It 

was Yorktown. We believe there is a 

Yorktown for Cuba. 

It la announced that the resignation 

of CSecll Rhodes as one of the directors 

of the British South Africa C'om 

4Ntny has been accepted. Thia la an 

other outgrowth of the recent raid of 

Dr. Jameson Into the TransvMl Republic 

of which so much has been 

aald. Heretofore Mr. Rhodes was re- 

Karded as the autocrat of that country, 

and waa called the "Napoleon of 

South Africa," but he waa understood 

to be mixed up in the Jameson 

raid, and so was compelled to offer 

his reelgnatlon In order to prevent 

conflict between the Engllah and the 

Boers of the Transvaal Republic, with 

Germany standing behind the Republic. 

The conviction ot the murderers. 

Holmes in Philadelphia, Durant In 

San Francisco and the two young dental 

Students near Cincinnati, Jackson 

and Walling, ^ a healthy sign of the 

times. If It could be morally certain 

tha) every murderer would meet the 

due punlsbment of his crimc, there 

would be fewer murders in this country. 

The trouble is that people have 

been under the impreuion that they 

could commit any crime they pleased, 

and then go free, especially if they 

had any money with which to buy 

their freedom, or, any rate, with 

which to fight off their conviction with 

innumerable technlcalitiee and conktant 

delays until the public Interest 

in the case should be lost. The sure 

ani spredy punishment of each criminal 

for his crime is the only safe* 

guard of Justice. 

The struggle of the Cretans against 

tiielr Turkish masters continues. 

Many clraumstaacss make the fate ot 

this Meditsrranean Cuba a matter of 

great Interaet to the ciTiliMd world. 

Tha island ia aituatld near the main 

land of Qreeoe and poMeasee unrival* 

Bd rlohoeas of loil sadeliaiate. In 

; ' \ 

Homer's time it was the seat of 

splendid civllUatlon. It wae the home 

of the great law-giver Minos, and 

here also Is Mt. Ida, the fabled birthplace 

of Jupller. There was a time 

when the population of the Island was 

1,200,000, but nnder blighting Turk' 

ish rule It ha« been reduced to aliont 

2fi0,000. Since the achievement of 

Greek Independence In 1828, the Cretans 

have been longing for their own 

liberty, and Insurrections out of number 

liave occurred. Present indications 

are unfavorable to thehr suocess 

now, but they are brave and will BO 

doubt risk all on a final struggle. 

Since the above was written dispatch' 

es from Constantinopln stale that tha 

Mussulman Governor of (pl^ Abdullah 

Pasha, who was apiioini '

Christian Governor, CariSHPary 

has been recalled by the Tuif^ gov 

ernment. The Prince of 

been appointed in his stead, this movement 

being made, doubtless, to calm 

the storm that was brewing in Greece 

against the Sultan. The new Governor 

Is a Christian. Samoa Is an autonomous 

dependency of the Turkish 

empire, paying tribtitt to the Sultan. 

We doubt whether BnfiQiliig IboH of a 

grant, either of freedom or autonomy, 

will restore peace In Crete. 

The Journal and Mmenger saya that 

"The foolish women who make themselves 

conspicuous by 5Mmdlnjt presents 

to condemned murderers do a 

great deal to destroy the * respect for 

woman which Is so Inbred In the American 

people," and tb^ Spplauds the 

action ot a KentuckjjrCkôol Board 

which has discharged :B young lady 

from her position a« teacher in the 

public schools becaWe she persisted 

In visiting the cell of a condemned 

murderer. The Jomial and Mumngtr 

deprecatea such manlisstatlon of sympathy 

for crime. We do not believe 

in sympathy for crime, as much as 

natural, Instinctive love in woman for 

a hero. Maay women will go wild 

over tha victor In a bicycle race, or 

foot ball game, or In a pugilistic com' 

bat These same women have a dis' 

gust for the half-hearted criminal, but 

let a man go to bold excess in crime, 

especially in crime that has about it 

the glamour of illicit tore, and henceforth 

he lias a strange power over 

them. Messages and tokens of sym- 

pathy came from all over the country 

to Theodore Durant and H. H. Holmes 

when they were so prominently before 

the public. In these eases we have illustrations 

ot the perversion Of what 

is in itfelf a noble listlnct in human 

nature. We all love the hero, and 

t is right, but where there is moral 

weakness; where the conscience ia not 

nurtured by careful moral distinctions 

and practice haa not begotteii a strong 

ove of virtue, too ofwn all barriers 

give way and moral Judgment is obscured. 

We cannot but regard it ae 

a speciaa of intanity or demoniac possession 

when s woman can bestow auch 

affection upon the man who has outra^ 

the sanctity of the name of womanhood 

and beam upon hla ruthless 

hand the damned spote of her sister's 

blood.

It jitarM as fire-mist that once on a 

time he^ to whirL Nobody knows 

just when nor why it betran to whirl, 

but after It once began It brought 

forth untold wonders. 

Yon know an evolutionist philoso- 

pher thinks he can do anything if you 

will only give him time enough. He 

can even make something out of noth- 

ing if you give him countless ages. 

This theory of developing from the 

very lowest forms of llfj the noblest 

specimens of manhood is a very fasci- 

nating one, and very flattering to 

human pride. There is a great deal 

mora satisfaction In going up than in 

coming down.' A scornful evolution- 

ist has said: "There are people who 

prefer to trace their lineage back to a 

bankrupt Adam that was put out of 

Eden, than to an ape that -had In him 

the possibilities of noblest develop- 

ment, but lor myself I confess that I 

prdfer a progressiva ape for my an- 

cestor rather than a bankrupt Adam." 

Well, there Is no accounting for taste, 

but for myself 1 may be paHoned if I 

prefer to trace my record back, as 

Luke does that of Jesus, unUlat last 

be says, "Which was the son of Adam, 

which was the son of Ood." 

1 think the most offensive pride I 

have ever seen displayed was that of 

those stylal "self-mademen," who are 

evermore wearying the world with the 

boastful rccltal ol the heroic struggles 

by which Ihsy have climted from the 

depths of iwverty to the proud posi- 

tion from which they now look down 

upon their lets fortunate fellows. 

£v^n so the evolutionist plumes him- 

self upon his progress. Ha has bsen 

coming up from time Immemorial by 

constant uvolntlon, the highest form 

of erolutlon being man, and the high- 

est form of man being a phlloioplMr, 

the highest style of phllosophar being 

an avolutlonlsU Everytliing below 

him, nothing above hln e«wpt his 

own. possibllltlea, of still further evo- 

lution. .:

and on the side of him are two fins, 

and hera is a bird and on the side of 

him are two wings, and here Is a man 

and on the side of him are two arms. 

Naturally enough, the evolutionist 

Jumps at the oonclusion that the man 

waa a fish originally and what were 

fins have developed into arms, not 

very much llko arms, to Iw sure, but 

tb«y "ara located correspondingly. 

Strange that these correspondences 

should run through all nature, until 

when you come to the simians you 

find everything in a baboon or monkey 

or an ourang-outang that you find in 

man. i^verything, it may be. but a 

soul. Very remarkable Is all this, 

as Mr. Darwin shows. He notloed, 

too, that by artificial selecUon the 

breeders of stock could change the 

character of domestic creatures in no 

•mall degree, and he suspecte^ that 

naturo could do spontaneously what 

men could do artificially, and hence 

could work wonders by natural selec- 

tion. 

Then he explained the principle of 

the survival of the fittest. In the 

struggle for life protractcd thmugh 

the ages, he argued, the stronger and 

more redoutable would survive, and 

in that way the weaker would pass out 

of existence, and so by natural selec- 

tion and survival of the fittest you 

would get better and better resulU un- 

til by and by from the monad you 

would have developed a magnificent 

modem man. That seems very clear, 

doesn't it? 

And then geology, he tells us, ex- 

hibits some extraordinary phenomena. 

Olw lowest strata of fosslllferous rocks 

contain the lowest types of life; the 

next a higher type; the next a higher 

still. There Is an ascending dynasty 

of llf^ Low forms of life, higher 

forms of life, highest forms of life, and 

the scientific imagination kindles with 

enthusiasm and concludes that this 

highest came from that lowest, and the 

conclusion seems reasonable enough. 

What more natural than to suppose 

that these transformations were the re- 

sult of a process of development pro- 

tracted through the ages? 

And then, not only geology, but em- 

bryology comes in and seems to fur- 

nish contributory testimony. Embry- 

ology has been studied of late as never 

before. Never were there such power- 

ful microscopes, and the sclentUt has 

examined with eager ourioslty the be- 

ginnings of life as far as ha can trace 

It, and it la discovered that all life 

b^ns with an egg. Scientists all 

agree In that, but the astonishing 

thing Is that the embryonic eggs arc 

all alike. It begins with a single cell, 

that is what an egg is. Presently the 

egg begins to expand; It comes to be 

a sac, and a cavity In the sac la the 

futura stomach! That is the first 

thing that is developed in any living 

thing—a stomach, and this stomach Is 

surrounded by two layers of cells. 

Such Is the appearance of the growing 

egg, and you cannot see for the life of 

you any reason why this egg should 

develop into a philosopher and that 

egg Into a tadpole. You cannot tall 

Mordiand whether any particular 

egg Is going to develop Into a coral 

Insect, a anally a worm, a fish or a 

philosopher. There Is nothing there 

to Indicate. But U passes through 

the coral aUlo, tha snail state, the 

worm state, the fish stats, and up to 

the philosopher. We have here, ea- 

iMryologlosklly, a sort of miniature re- 

presentation of what has been going 

on In nature through all the agea, so 

tha AvolutlonlsU say. . 

Will you pardon no If I Indulge In

Our Lrave missionaries are doing 

valiant work these delightful days. 

Tho most cheering reporu are coming 

In. Numbers of souls are being 

brought to salvation. Oar next quarter's 

report promises to be yet another 

advance tn labor. Our gracious 

Father Is working with these laboivrs 

and rendering efficient their service. 

Who doei not rejoice in this work? 

The last quarter nearly 400 persons 

were received into mission churches 

by these missionaries. Does anyone, 

any child of God, murmur at this? 

Lot us render thanksgiving unto the 

name of tbe Lord for His biesslnga 

upon our labors. But the day draweth 

nigh when these faithful laborers 

must be paid. Then all who help to 

pay them will be partakers with them

As will be seen from the reporte of

which came in too late for publication 

in last week's issue, the Central 

Church on that day cleared off Its 

bonded debt of 17,000 with which It 

had so long been oppressed. This is 

a matter of great rejoicing among the 

brethren of the Central Church, and 

we oongratutate Paster Potts and his

this long desired end. We trust 

that now, having laid aside this 

weight which so heavily beset them, 

they may run with patluce the race 

which is Set before them, and may accomplish 

still greater things for the

Grown people do not always appreciate 

what an event a birthday 

islnachild's life. Next to Christmas 

it i8 the red letter day of the year. 

A whole year nearer man's or woman's 

estate means a Rreat deal to.a 

child and fills the boy or girl with 

j^n added dignity and sense of importance. 

Seven is so very much 

older tiian six! 

In some households this perfectly 

natural delight is increased by the 

hearty sympathy of the parents. 

But there are other homes In which 

the all-important d»y passes unnoticed 

save by a careless mention, a 

mere reminder to the child that he 

has begun another year, and this 

remark may possibly be seasoned 

with the bitter sauce of a suggestion 

of an improvement in conduct. 

Not long since my heart was moved 

to pity by talking to a clever little 

boy, who told me that he was eight 

years old on that day. 

"And what presents have you received?" 

I asked. 

He looked surprised. 

"Ob, we don't keep birthdays at 

our house!" he replied. "My 

mother says It's foolish. Then she 

forgot that I am eight today until 

breakfast time tills morning."

OhUdhood is so brief, and the 

time when each recurring birthday 

isnotajoy comes so soon, that it Is 

a pity not to make the anhiverflariee 

joyous to the little ones. 

"Mamma," said one rapturous

ConYertatioD at the Dinner-Table. 

Talking ia one of the best of all 

recreations, and a woman who understands 

the art possesses a most 

useful and enjoyable accomplishment 

No dinner-table is well-appointed 

without good talkers, and 

the basis of Interesting conversation 

is reality. After a course ai London 

dinners. Sir Walter Scott said, "The 

bishops and the lawyers talked bet- 

ter than the wlta," that U, the wits 

talked for the sake of talking, and 

the church and the law had something 

to talk about. Yet specialties 

and hobbies are not admissible at a 

dinner-table, and a woman who can 

only talk on her own fad has no business 

in society. She oughtto write 

a pamphlet, or go to the lecture plat- 

form, for any conversation at the 

dinner-table that Is a strain on the 

attention or the patience soon becomes 

a bore; Indeed, one of the 

chief elementa of pleasant company 

is a readiness to talk, or to be talked 

to, on any rational subject 

The most charming talkisrs lot a 

bright listener see their thought in 

formation, for talk that has been 

prepared has a ready-made flatness. 

It is the aerated thought of the moment 

that has the sparkle; and a 

good talker finds the right word by 

instinct as a clever horse on a Ind 

road always puta his foot in the 

right place. This fMt makes the 

good tiUker also a good listener, because 

her best conversation will follow 

brightiy and instantly the lead 

that others give it, and it prevento, 

likewise, the worst of all conversational 

fftulta—monopoly. Dean Swift 

thought "no one ought to talk at a 

dinner-table longer than a minute at 

a time," and his rules for such conversation 

are so admirable that they 

might be printed on our dinner mr- 

RM: 

"Converaation ia but carving, 

Give no more to every gueat 

Than he'a able to dl| 

Give him alwaya of i 

And but littie at a time, 

Carve to ail but jutt enough. 

Let them neither atarvo nor atull: 

And that you may have your due, 

Let acme neighbor carve for you." 

However, we must make some allowance 

for our duller intellecta. 

It we all had Dean Swift's genius 

we might all make minute speeches.

At the Alumni dinner of Brown University 

recently, Hon.OicarS. Strauts 

ot Kew York declared in a speech that 

Roger Williams was the purest type 

of American freedom. In speaking ot 

the truer and larger spiritof liberality 

he said: "1 want what is best in the 

world acceMible to America, and what 

is best in America accessible to the 

world." 

On the first day ot July a party of 

IS repreaenutive business men from 

the differont sections of the United 

SutM sailed from New York for South 

America. They will visit the chief 

trade centers of South America with a 

view of opening up closer trade relations 

between the United Statas nnd 

the States ot that continent. Mr. W. 

T. Adams of Corinth, Miss., is 

one of this party. 

At the close of the session of 1894-05 

of the Uaivwsity ot Georgia, a strong 

combination ot political and religious 

opponents was formed to drive Dr. B. 

F. Riley from the chair of English 

which he holds in that institution. 

The trustees, however, stood by him, 

and now there is no stronger man in 

the faculty of the University. Dr. 

Riley is one of our strong Baptists 

and we congratulate him upon the 

success attending his labors.
