cational institutions to begin he twen
tieth century with, and Bishop Gallo
vrv's present 'trip U in the interest of
this movement. He is a splendid ora
tor and his remarks have so-much ithat
is helpful to them, combined with
amusing anecdotes, that his hearers last
evening were greatly pleased. - " ,
He said in part- "We Methodists ate
a moving people. We have made prayer
and praise keep pace wjith the wood
man's axe. The birth of 'the new cen
tury is an appropriate time to begin
this new educational movement. There
is a positive decrease in membership of
BH evangelical denominations, which a
another reason for reconsecratton and
reded ication.
"We'll cever be one people until we
epeak one language and have oae spirit,

ethical character of the education of a
people determines their civilization.
"Christianity 'is a. sanctified imperial
jsm. Christiamity hias made this na
tion. All great victories are won
where ithe training .is done. Our sure
defense is not in our armies and navies,
but in our schools, homes and churches.
"If you have a Christian teadher in
your school, 'then your school is a Chris
tian school. We'l'l have no church if
we have no school to train our chil
dren. "The church tiiat . throws its arms
arourd the childrenrvis going 'o be the
chun-h of the future, aaid the same
applies to nations."
The amount pledged to the' movement
wae 51.070. Bishop .' Galloway goes to
KaleiRh today, where he speaks to
morrow, concluding mis tour of North
Carolina.
A LESSON FOR NORTH CAROLINA
A short time ago a meeting was held'
in the city of iouisville ito protest
against ';he methods employed by the
state election board. Several demo
crats addressed the meeting, one of
whom, by the wtay, had beem an ardent
Goebel supporter, and all denounced tne
action cf the board. The board de
clared that the voters of Louisville
were ninety young men of the city who
were in their armory all day and were
not called out until 7 o'clock in the
evening, three hours -after the polls had
closed, and they did not niter into a
Bingle polling place in the city of
Louisville, yet the election 'board in
sisted that these young men, sons and
brothers of the voters of the city, had
intimidated Louisville, to such an ex
tent as that the vote woulu not be
counted, and so the whole city was dis
franchised for that election.
One of the speakers, in denouncing the
act, used this strong language: "The
crime of today if unrebuked becomes
the precedent of tomorrow, and if there
were no possible way of correcting the
present state of affairs it would be the
solemn duty of every citizen to take up
arms and recover that civil liberty
whtch our grandfathers worn for u&:"
The upshot of the meeting was the
passage of a series of resolutions de
manding, the repeal of the Goebel elec
tion law, but a few days after this
meeting was held the legislature voted
down a repeal bill that was offered, and
the Goebel law stands as a menace to
the liberties of the people, and the
peace of the etaite.
The law, as our jeadere well know,
is a copy of the Virginia election law,
and alll such laws are held in public
oomtejnpt. Even if the elections under
them are fair, outsiders do -oc believe
it. and it has come to pass that when
ever a democrat is elected to congress
from a doubtful district in Virginia and
there is a contest before a republican
congress for his seat, the election law
is pleaded against the democrat as a
prima facie evidence of fraud. It will
continue to be so as long as such laws
remain on the statute books of any
southern state. Richmond Times.
SOUTHERN EXPANSIONISTS.
The Hon. Johni Temple Graves of At
lanta, being interviewed by a reporter
of the Chicago Times-Herald recently,
6aid:
"On the 4th day of July, 1898 the day
after Cervena's destruction L-was the
oraitor of the Jefferson celebration at
Augusta, Ga., and expressed an earnest
opposition on moral grounds to the per
manent holding of territory in the Phil
ippines or Cuba. Why have I Changed
my opinion since that time; Because
conditions have chamged and the point
of view is materially altered and en
larged. Among all the voices, great or
small, that are demanding so loudly
that we should not hold on in the Phil
ippines I have not heard one of them
describe a reasonable, honorable and
practical way in which we can let go.
For the time being it is absolutely im
perative that we should hold on, and no
wise man can limit- the time, the way or
the conditions under which we could
eafely and dutifully withdraw to our
own credit or to the real and perma
nent welfare of the islands. I accept ex
pansion as a fact an accomplished
fact. It is 'no, longer a question. We
have already expanded. In advance of
the political action of the democracy. I
yioest against tne policy oi vuiw&v""
ing the great world mbvement now un- :
der way. Whatever the agitators .may H
deelare, I have good, reasons to believe,
from wide travel and contact with the
People all over the country, that the
great body of American citizenship Is
In favor of expansion!. I know that, the
native born Americans and the thought
ful men of the south hold this viewp. The
democracy's chances of. success for the
coming campaign are mot particularly
radiant, anyway, and to assume a posi
tion of violent apposition" to the Greater.
America Is simply to hold "open arms to
disaster."
