HOPKINS FOR SPEAKER. At the meeting of eleven of the Illinois Congressmen in Chicago Pater Jay the can didacy of A. J. Hopkins was lannened for the Bpeakership. Congressman Connon was elected chairman of the campaign committee, Congressman Reeves secre­ tary' There ia to be an executive commit­ tee of seven selected with Congressman XiOrimsr, of Chicago, as chairman. Now that Illinois has unanimously waited a vigorous canvass will follow to ascure the nomination of Hon. A. _J. Hopkins and with such a standing as he has from the stand point of ability and fitness for the place there is every reason to brieve that he will land a winner. It is universally conceded that Mr. Hopkins is the logical western candidate and with his renowned popularity in all porta of the United States he is the most raninent candidate in the field. From BOW on until the battle shall be decided the campaign committee will put forth •very effort to nnite the west. having difficulty in securing enough to carry on street-improvement work, la several instances common labor has been advanced from $1 50 $1 7n per day, and there is not an idle man in the city. THE following is an eztiact taken from the spvech ot-^Dr. P. S. Henson, delivered at the mass meeting in Chicago Sunday: 411 never was so ashamed of Chicago as I was last Monday morning when I read the papers. I never was so proud of Chi­ cago as today. We are confronted, as a late President of the United States was wont to say, with a conditton rather than a theory. Uncle Sam is the good Samaritan who stumbled upon the Philippines. He went in with Dewey, Not to have gone in would have been in- •tanity. To sneak out would have been pusillanimity and inhumanity. Dewey's gone broke the grip of Spain upon that race of slaves. What then? Shall we deliver them over to Aguinaldo? Pray, who is Agninaldo? And whem does Aguinaldo represent? You remember ,the Cuban Junta? Where is that Jnnta now? There were those who insisted that our President should deliver over the island of Cuba to the Cuban Junta but as that gem of the Antilles marches to enter upon a new era of splendid civilization where is the man that does applaud the sagacity and the levelhead­ edness of President McKinley? "And so today there are those that wave the declaration ot independence in bar faces and tell us that the thing to do is to deliver over those islands of the archipelago in the East to the people Who ire their rightful masters, for 'all fast governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.' So wrote Thomas Jefforson. I do not be­ lieve Thomas Jefferson was infallible. I believe that a live President in the year Of crace 1899 is just as much of an Authority as a President that lived and died a hundred years ago. As to that donirmotv* that dee!2.! es that 411 governments derive their jost powers from the consent of the governed, if that is to be literally constructed, there never Was a greater falsehood palmed off by the devil npon a credulous world. "There never was a greater absurdity than the declaration that the people 4(very where, regardless of advancement, ,«f intelligence, and civilization, are fit Subjects for popular government. You remember our Southern brethen insisted •pon that principle, and there were a lot of malcontents and stump speakers that declared that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and then wanted us to let the wayward sisters go--they withdrew their consent. And we shot that thing into smithereens. And do you know, broth­ ers, there is not anybody any gladder of it than the Confederates. There are con­ ditions of society, there are nationalities, for the government of which the iron band is better than a hydra-headed monster. "The Philippines have not been heard from yet. We do not know anything about them. We have our commission over there, and they are feeling their way toward a wise conclusion, and they know more in a minute today about it than any of those orators at Central Music hall will in a month. And yet, the American people have been heard from through their repesentatives in Congress, and they ratified the treaty with epain that ceded to us the Philippine islands. And the President of the United States has no more right today to deliver over the Philippine islands to the redoubtable Aguinaldo than he has to deliver Gover­ nor's island over to Richard Croker. "The American people are not fools and they are not fanatics. We are hard-headed, lawful, broad-minded indus­ trious, peace-loving, and eminently sen sible people, and the President is a typic­ al specimen of us. Better to have drops of blood now than a river of blood by and by. We can have mercy then, but we want quick work now." Illinois State Convention. The Forty-first annual convention of the Illinois State Sunday-School Associ­ ation will be held, D. V., in the first Pres­ byterian church in the city of Decatur, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 16, 17 and 18, 1899, beginning Tuesday morsing. The convention will in part be a cele­ bration of forty years of eventful his­ tory, and a recognition of unnumbered blessings bestowed upon us by our gra­ cious Qod., The past Sunday-School year has been crowned with his goodness. The work committed to us has greatly pros­ pered, and the workers have l>een bless­ ed. A suitable acknowledgment, the representative workers from every coun­ ty in the state should attend this con­ vention and with songs of thanksgiving and praise, seek to know His wilb more perfectly, that the work may be improv­ ed and extended. There are many teach­ ers who may be helped, many schools that may be improved and many neg-' lected fields that may be cultivated.' careful preparation, is being made to arrange a good program and to secure speakers who will be helpful. The importance of the meeting, the central location of Decatur, the unsur­ passed railroad facilities, and the warm welcome assured to the delegates, should insure a large attendance. Sunday-School workers bearing proper credentials, signed by the county officers, will receive free entertainment, with the exception of the noonday lanch; this can be obtained at a low price at the hotels and restaurants. It is expected that re­ duced rates will be secured on all rail­ roads; full particulars will be sent on application to the general secretary. Pastors and superintendents are re­ quested to give suitable notice of the convention and to set apart Sunday, May 14th, as a day of special prayer that this convention may be made mem- morable by the presence and power of the noly Spirit.
