The Boxer War's Results.
Some large results of the war and
diplomatic scheming of the past
year are to be noted. China has not
been partitioned, but she has been
humbled and will hardly hereafter
treat the foreigner with her former
arrogance. Japan, having played a
leading part both in hgbtingand in
diplomacy, has gained a position ol
equality with the Western powers.
Kussia loomed large at the outset,
but has been thwarted in ber effort
to bulldoze China into a treaty mak
ing large territorial and other con
cessions and has been forced fc
recognize Japan's interests in China
and in Korea. The Uni'ed States
has appeared for the first time as a.
factor in the Far East, asserting a
policy identical with that of England
and Japan in favor of maintaing the
integrity of China and "the open
door," in opposition to the contrary
policy supposed to be favored by
Russia, France and Germany.

Dr, Parkhurst and (he Negroes.
A few weeks ago Dr. Psrkhnrs'
of New l ork, preached a sermon I
which he advised the negro to "keep
quiet upon the whole siiffrago mat
ter, to keep out of politics, not to
talk about the Constitution, not to
Insist upon his rights, but to at ton
industriously to the work of getting
himself well ready which ho is in
now for what God and the country
and the future may have in store
for him." An open letter in reply
to this sermon lias been Issued by
Charles II. Williams, of B.uaboo,
Wis , a colored man, in which h
assorts that "God, the oonntry and
the future" have nothing in storo
for the people of African descent
"unless they become manly men and
womanly women, asserting then
lights as such, demanding and oh
taining them peaceably if they can
forcibly if they must. "
I he writer ot this open letter is
not so good a counselor of the col
ored people as Dr. rarkhurst is or
as Booker T. Washington is. II
desire to see his poople become man
ly men and womanly women is com
mendable, but the methods he wants
to pursue are not the right ones,
Dr. 1'nrklnirni bsses his advice upon
tho unalterable fact that the South
ern people are determined tho ne
groes shall not exercise political
power in any form in their Slates.
In view of this ingrained feeling
against tho negro it is wisest for him
at present not to try to vote. lie
can gain more by saying nothing
about his voting rights under the
Constitution.
It is better for the colorod man
to go quietly about his task of self
improvement, performing with care
and industry such work as may fall
to his lot in the world, and not keep
ing alive the old hostility of the
whites by trying to claim bis polm
cal rights. As for the "forcibly if
they must policy, that is nonsense.
Attempts to gain real or imaginary
rights by that method do not succeed
n the I nited btates. A policy of
quiet and patient indus'.ry is the
only practical and wise or.s for the
colored people to adopt in the South.
Chicago Tribune.
A Timely Warning;.
The public reads with interest
and respect whatever ex President
Cleveland says on tho issues and
problems of the day.
In a recent article he calls atten
tion in his usual forcible style to
auother malign condition which
should not bo obscured by tbe trnsts,
the imperialist tendencies of onr gov
ernment or any other danger.
"It is, he says, "older and more
stealthy than its fellows; and if less
ateful in appearance, it is by no
means less calamitous and destruc
tive to our national character and
ntegrity. This evil is tho steadily
increasing waste in public expendi-
tiro."
Those who are familiar with the
records of congress during tho last
few years will not accuse the ex
president of exaggeration or idle
fears. He sticks to facte and draws
logical conclusions from them. He
ketches the growth and increasing
recklessness of appropirationa and
shows that a great part of them have
not been demanded by the public
needs and concludes with the solemn
warning for which there is supers-
undant provocation :
"The lessons of extravagance and
paternalism must be unlearned ;
economy and frugality must bo re
instated ; and the people must exact
rom their representatives a watcn-
ul care for the general welfare and
stern resistence to the demands ot
selfish interests, if our government
to be an enduring and beneficent
protection to a patriotic and virtuous
people.
The present era of prosperity has
been attended, as such periods al
ways are, by a development of the
spirit of extravagance in the poople
and consequently in the government.
The bait which Mr. Cleveland
counsels would be a most fortunate
thing for the country. Atlanta

Activity of Anarchists.
The European authorities have
become greatly concerned over the
evidence ot renewed activity among
tbe violent class of anarchists, and
the police of Russia are especially
alarmed because of the unsettled
conditions in the empire of the czsr.
t is feared that the anarchists are
tanning further attempts on the
ires of crowned heads and there is
secret activity among tbe police of
almost all the European countries
Many police from Knseia have
arrived ' in Geneva, Switzerland,
ithin the past few days, and they
are co-operating with the Swiss au
thorities in the preparation of a list
of anarchists known to be danger
ous. It is expected that as soon as
this list has been completed it will
be secretly sent to all parts of the
world and the police of the various
nations notified to look out for the
persons named therein.

DUTIES OF A PREACHER.
How to Live, Suffer and Escape Sin
Yesterday morning at the First
Baptist church the pastor, Rev. W.
M. Vines, read Cor. 1 15, evolving
from that scripture the threo great
duties of a preacher, viz: How to
live, how to eacapo sin, and the so
lace of trouble and suffering
God has conferred upon ns the
highest honor possible to givo when
he endowed us with manhood and
womanhood. The question, What
is life? has agitatod the minds o
men for centuries, but how shall we
live is a far more important ques
tion and one worthy of tho most
careful consideration. To a large
tiumlter of poople the preacher only
preaches in a perfunctory manner,
and with this class the influence or
god of the preaching begins and
ends with the sermon.
Someone has said character is a
perfectly educated will. That is
largely true and when one so lives
and so educates bis mind and heart,
the sermon will not fall on senseless
ears, but the hearer will go away
having enjoyed a rich spiritual and
intellectual treat.
Character building means to (per
fect and beautify, and it is the trifles
that bring perfection, though per
fection is not a trifle. Tho care of
tho salvation of the soul is a preach
er's greatest aim. A soul fitted for
heaven means a character lxauti-
ully polished and finished. Then,
too, the preacher must teach his poo
ple how to meet trouble. Many peo
ple move along smoothly so long as
everything goes well, but when trou
ble, misfortune and adversity come,
they have no strength to meet them.
V ith a well developed character and
a salvation supported by God's grace
any one can face the adversities of
life. Thus it will le seen that the
du'ies of a prcaehcr are multifari
ous and his responsibility to his
charge and to God aro sacred.

Gov. McSweeney Takes Action.
A Columbia dispatch says : Gov
ernor McSweeney, took action, ho
said, in accordance with the wishes
of the people who did not wish a
primary witn us incident Birueano
unrest, refused to accept the resigna
ions of Senators Tillman and Mc
.aurin. These resignations wero
mado at a political meeting in Guff
ney, May 25th, and were mailed the
tovernor that night. lie received
them the following morning when
bont to leave for Chtckamanga to
participate in the unveiling of a
monument to South Carolina's dead.
bo Governor returned here early
this morning and announced his le
cision shortly after noon.
He wrote a communication to the
Senators in which he first said that
he"rottirned their resignations for
urther consideration, as their
action might have been taken in the
heat of debate and without full con
sideration of the t fleets upon the
people. Io the closing paragraphs
of his letter, however, tho Governor
nnequivocally declines to accept the
resignations. His reasons may be
put in a few words. A canvas be
tween them would result in bitter
ness, stir up the people jnst at a
period when they are trying to get
together for the material progress
f the State and would be a cam
paign of personalities instead of
education. Next year there will be
ample opportunity for a ful' dis
cussion. Holding these views, the
Governor says his duty is plain.
How to Conquer.
Those of us who aro inclined to
ive up to discouragement wnen
thiogs go wrong might learn a help
ful lesson from a young woman who
had left home because her father
was a drunkard. When she became
Christian, however, she announced
her intention of returning and doing
what blie culd to reclaim him.
But what will you do when he
finds fault with all your efforts to
please him i" some one asked her.
Try a little harder, she ans
wered, with a soft light in her
eyes.
"Ies; but when he is unreason
able and nnkindyou will be tempted
to lose your temper and answer him
ngrily. What will yon do then (
"I ray a littlo harder, came the
nswer, witn a tearless ring in ino
words.

What could you do but leave him
again f
love biru a little harder, said
the young Christian steadily.
It Is pleasant to add that her
splendid faith conqnred. Through
love and prayer and patient effort
ber father was not only reclaimed
from his bt-setting sin, but proved
Christ'a 'power to save to the utter
most all that come nnto him. Inr

Here is tho moKt interesting ye
most perplexing problem In the
study of the sun ; and within this is
b mud up knowledge that may soino
day open wide an ample page of in
eotimahlo benefit to man. What
bonds there are between tarth and
sun, aside from the mutter of light
and heat, may some time clearly lie
learned, and tbe prolwbility that
periodic variations of the weather
are due to three solar influences is
something that will bo of vast value
to understand. Divininp, as it
vulgarly understood, is merely the
duping ol tools bv charlatans. But
what if divining be put upon Iho
plane of science To day, Sir Nor

that certain world changes are si

able virtually to forecast the famine
and the flood. His deductions are
strong and clear ; and by no moans
is any condition taken for granted
Some time ago ho was led into this
study by noting the coincidence
that sun-spot maximum and sun
spot minimum intervals of great
cut and least activity in tho solar
body were accompanied by cor
responding differences in the Indian
rainfall. A scrutiny of the Famine
Commission reimrts for tho last half

hat have devastated India during
that period have occurred in the in

The report is confirmed at Wash

what program the military authori
ties will make for him tint he had
nformed General MacArthnr that
ho would like to leave Manila about
Sept. 1, in order to travel with
Adjuiant General Corbin, who will
start on his return trip at that time.
Reports from General Mie Arthur
show that Agninaldo is now per
milled a Urge amount of liberty,
but until civil government is in
angnratcd it is not probablo that he
will be allowed to have jetfert
freedom. Agninaldo's explanation
for wanting to visit the I'nitcd
States in that he would like to study
American institutions and the Eng
lish language with a view to bene
fitting his country on his return.
He desires to take np the Bttidy of
economic and political questions in
the I' nited States and asked General
MacArthnr for suggestions as to the

Sweet Sabbath.
It is hard to "tell how much the
Sabbath has sweetened human life.
Day after day thunders on. Each
one is laden with care, and thought
and worry and business. It comes
lieating in on us like a mighty wave.
We may be able to stand up against
one of them, two of them, but by
the time the sixth wave has thun
dered in upon us, we began to
stagger. But then the soventh
comes with waves of healing. It is
the Sabbath. It is the day of rest.
And thus in our lives there arc six
layers of care and conflict, and one
layer of Heaven. Six times the
shuttles leap across tbe loom of our
lives carrying a silver thread. And
so the weaving goes on, from year
to year, until tho loom stops and
God cuts off the threads which have
been going into it. Orange Ob

A Saving- of Money.
That the purchasers of school
books in North Carolina will aave
some $10,000 the tirst year of the
change to hate adoption is one fruit
ol the legislation, which brought
about the heavy cut in the pricos of

120,000 would have been spent,
with no reduction In the prices here

final outcome of the work of the

been to reduce the amount to some

There has been a seeming delay
in reaching a decision as to the

lay has secured S) material a rcduc

of the Commissioi wont at the woik

of the State in the selection of books,
and they know that a great benefit
would be a slashing into the prices

The Cuban Situation.
A late Washington sitcial says
it is otlicially stated in that city that
the United States will remain in con
rol in Cuba until the l'latt amend
mcnt has been "substantially adopt
ed," This was made known to Gen
eral Wood hist week bv Seererarv
loot, .and his action his lieen ap
iroved by the President. Secretary
loot was with tho President for
about an hour and a half Friday,
discussing with him the cablegram
which had ln-en prepared to U; sent
to General Wood, at Havana, relat
ing to the action of this government
on tfio Cuban coiisti'nnon. Ihe
message is long and w6 forwarded
"General Wood with the idea of
having him communicate it to the
constitutional convention. It will
not be made public at thie time and '

received no ofiicial copy of the Cu

received being furnished by Gen
