OTJR PHILIPINE POLICY. The newspaper editors in the cities are not only themselves discussing the ques­ tion what to do with the Philipines, but are kindly admitting into their columns a large amount of outside advice on the subject. One of these advisers gives some views oi uncertain value. He regards those riph possessions as the most hope­ ful solvent of the various problems likely to arise as consequences of the war. He set.* forth a great scheme of barter or sale of the island, to one or another of several nations. He very justly depre­ cates ranking the Fhiiipines an American colony, and so far, at least, we are with him. But to indemnify ourselves for the expenses of the war by selling the islands, he says "would be kinder to Spain than to exact a war indemnity from her im­ poverished treasury." The views of this particular correspondent are here quoted because, in a general way, they seem to bo the same as those of the majority of journclists on the subject. But according to the highest official proclamation, this is a war in behalf of humanity. If it is, we should not drop our humanity at its conclusion aud settle its issues on a vulgar commercial basis, handing the islands over to the power that will give us the best bargain. It is rather to inquire which nation will do the most for their happiness, enlight- rnent and general upbuilding, unless we conclude to give them back to Spain, provided she lets go her hold, instantly and forever, on Cuba and Porto Rico. AT the Ministerial meeting of the Rock- ford district of the Rock River Con­ ference, held ot Hampshire, 111., May 9th and 10th, the following resolutions were adopted and read by Dr. VanHorne at ohe patriotic meeting that followed Rev. Rose's discussion Monday evening: WHEREAS, Our nation is now engaged in a war with Spain for freedom and in­ dependence of tiie island of Cuba, there­ fore iiesolved. That this being the first war iu which our nation has been engaged where the special purpose has been to help a people outside of our own republic, and that people our near neighbors who tiave been for years oppressed, im prisoned, starved and slaughtered by cruelty of Spanish authority for the sole purpose of crushing out of the Cubans the spirit and love of liberty, we there fore recognize this war as waged against Spanish oppression as a righteous war, conducted in the interest of helpless hu­ manity end not for the acquisition of new territory. Resolved, iiiat we indorse the wise and judicious course pursued by our honored president, Major Wm. McKin- ley, in the persistent efforts made to prevent war with Spain, and that war was only declared when it became abso­ lutely necessary because of Spain's re­ fusal to accede to our reasonable de­ mands; and that we most heartily sup­ port him and his cabinet in their pa­ triotic purpose to prosecute this war to a succpssful termination. Resolved, That we have entire con­ fidence in our army and navy and pray that under God they may be wisely di­ rected by competent commanders for the overthrowing of Spanish oppression and the freedom of Cuba. "... » Resolved, That we rejoice in the unpre­ cedented victory with which God crowned our navy squadron under command of Rear Admiral Dewey in the engagement with the Spanish forces on land and sea at the Philipine Islands, and pray that God may assist Rear Admiral Sampson *o achieve a great victory with his North \tlantic squadron in the impending en- ir«crement. Resolved, That we appreciate the promptness and patriotic spirit with which our State milita volunteered their services to the United States govern­ ment. thereby proving themselves to be worthy sons and successors of the pa­ triots of the civil war. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu­ tions be forwarded to the President of the United (States. G. R VANHORNE,! W. H. SMITH, >Committee. H. L MARTIN, ' ) Hampshire, 111., May 9,1898. ----- Oonsressmsa Albert J ncpkina. The re-nomination of Congressman Albert J. Hopkins by the Republicans of the eighth district at Aurora was a well-merited recognition of the services of a capable and experienced legislator It also conveys gratifying assurance of the disposition of the people to keep unimpaired the strength of the state's representation in the lower house. The prosperous cities and towns in the six counties composing the eighth district have always been prolific of what the party is pleased to regard as good avail­ able congressional timber. In a district with euch a heavy Republican majority the crop of aspifants for political honors is apt to be very large. It is therefore creditable in the highest degree to the good sense of the republicans of the eighth district that they can subordi­ nate all personal ambitions to the higher claims of the people for strong and cap­ able representation in the national legislature. In the last congressional election Mr. Hopkins ' majority came within a few hundred votes of reaching the ten thou­ sand mark. It is therefore reasonably certain that he will be a member of the fifty-sixth congress and that he will serve his eighth consecutive term in that body. To his natural capacity for head work Mr, Hopkins adds the attainments of a trained lawyer, He is ready and quick in debate and can put into bis speeches a deal of parry and thrust when the occasion seems to demand it. His long service as a member of the ways and means committee has placed him in touch with the most important legis­ lation of the house. He is now one of the recognized leaders of that body and enjoys the fullest confidence and respect of his colleagues." In length of continuous congresnional service Mr. Hopkins is distanced by only two Illinois members of the house--Con­ gressman Cannon and Hitt. These three are the old guard of the Illinois de- lagation and are among the most valu­ able legislators in the national assembly. -- Chicago Times-Herald.

I®" From the soldiers column in the Woodstock Sentinel of last week we clip the following: "On Monday, May 3Q, not quite three weeks from today, will be Memorial day. Thirty-six years ago Gen. .lohri A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in general order No. 1, inaugurated Memorial day. In that general order we are directed 'that if other eyes grow dull and other hands slack and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, we shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth remain in us.' His wishes and instructions have been faith­ fully obeyed and the successors from yeai to year since have called upon all comrades to igain discharge this solemn duty. Each year the lines grow shorter here, while they lengthen on the other side. We have more graves to decorate and fewer comrades to discharge the duty. We must now, to a great extent, and as the years go by more so, depend upon the Woman's Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans and the children of the public schools to unite with us in the services. In no better way can we teach lessons of patriotism and prepare those who are to take our places for the high and respon­ sible duties of American citizens. "Brave Doys in blue! where'er they lie, In honored or in|hidden grave. Beneath the itately maTbel shaft, Or where the untrod grass** wave; We cherish them with loving hearts, There is no death for such as they. Though wrapt in dust their ashes lie. The nation's heroes live to-day." WHA.T NEUTRALITY MEANS. Great Britain, in declaring her neutral­ ity in the present crisis, takes careful pains to make herself thoroughly under­ stood. She plants herself squarely on the treaty of Washington, signed May 8, 1871, and states that she intends to comply with its terms literally. This instrument lays down three rules for the conduct of neutral nations in time of war: First. To use due diligence to prevent the fitting out, arming or equipping within its jurisdiction of any vessel which it has reason to believe is intended to cruise or to carry on war with any power with which it is at peace; and also like diligence to prevent the departure from its jurisdiction of any vessel intend­ ed to cruise or carry on war as above, such vessel having been specially adapt­ ed in whole or in part, within such juris­ diction, to warlike use. Second. To suffor neither belligerent to make use of its ports and waters as the base of naval operations against the other or for the purpose of renewal or augmentation of militarv supplies or arms or the recruitment of men. Third. To exercise due diligence in its own ports and waters aud to prevent any violation of the forgoing obliga- eions and duties within its jurisdiction. IST"Lieutenant Cammander John C.
