Ehwahu Atkinson lias come out favor of free-trade, thus deceiving those who believed that Mr. Atkinson was only one kind oft fool. All the soldiers in the Philinpin entitled to discharge by July will be sent home on lime. American military iimu apemont across the Pacific has moved like clockwork. Tom Johnson has discovered that run ing against McLean's bar'l ia no Joke in the Ohio Democracy. Tom has picked up one county and has only eighty-seven more to wrostle with. Mb. Rrtan says Tillman will win "because he represents the man while McLaurin reprtsents the dollar." Till man represents no dollar. The nearest he comes to it Is 45 cents. It ia early yet for the Detnocrcy to be gin "paramounting" an issue. Just now that parly has about all it can do to keep the more enlightened and progressive element thereof from break lug into the Republican party. Thk condition of Mrs. McKlnley, who suffered a relapse shortly aftor her re turn to Washington, has been indeed critical during the past forty-eight hours, but the latest reports frm her bedside are more favorable to ber ability to agaiu rally from the weakened condition into which her ailment has brought her. May the hopes of tho nation for her recovery be realized. Thk newspapera which insulted Jus tice Harlan a little while ago by insinu ating that the appointment of his son to a legal position in Porto Rico for which be was fully fitted would he paid for when the decision on the insular casea came in will lie surprised to note that Justice Harlan, though a Republican, took the anti-administration view of the cases. Such newspapera cannot understand suoh men, in the opinion of the Sostcn Journal. Presidkst McKinlkt on his trip to Calilornia made a number of speeches which were without exception, in good temper, in good taste and full ot sense. But among them all there was not one more apt or mote admirable than the brief address to the students of the Texas Normal and Industrial School. These words are worthy to be over the portals of every school and college in the land: W bat we want more than anything else, whether we be white or whether we be black, is to know how to do something well. If you will just learn to do one thing that is useful better than anybody else can do that one thing, yon will never be out of a job." Th krk is one sure barometer of finan cial condition in Kansas. Whenever the people feel rich they get up schemes to bore in the ground alter oil or gas, or other valuable productions. This pro pensity baa given Kansas some very valuable coal, gas, oil and salt fields, and It is to be encouraged, not deplored. To day something like fifty towns are bor ing holes in the ground. At one place out in Western Kansas they are down close to ?,o0o fiet, and stil are cheerfully chugging away. At Abilene $!,0o0 has just been raised by popular subscription for the purpose of boring, and the work ia to be started at once. In Hutchinson a new salt well is going down at the rate of 2M) feet a day, aud it ia to have around it the biggest salt plant in the State. In Southern Kansas derricks are as thick as haystacks and they are finding things, too. Kansas City Journal. The decision reached last week by the Supreme Court in the Porto Ricau and other cases ia of lar-reachlng conse quence to the United States. It sets forth that Porto Rico, after the annexation, was not foreign territory to the extent as sumed by the government at Washing ton, and declares that nntil Congress it self acted no duty could be levied on goods from that island coming into the United Slates. Itut Congress, so the court says, has power under the consti tution to impose duties on goods coming from Porto Kicoorany other of our Is land possessions into the United States, and to perscrile duties on United States goods imported into them. The division in the court was close, but happily it was not on partisian lines, Republican and Democratic members being found on each Ride. The constitutionality of the Foraker tariff act for Porto Hico has been sustained, and as this was by far the most important point Involved, the gov ernment may be said to have won a sub stantial victory. Ilopkius' store is full of new goods. Camping- Through Palis'.lne. Athkns, U reive, May 14, Itl'l. Di ar Editor: We had looked forward with consider able pleasure to the camping tour through Palestine, In the first place it was an entirely new experience to many of us. and in the second place we were to see the hills and valleys the prophets trod. and forever sacred in the associations of memory because our Lord Himself once looked upon this same landscape and pressed the soil with His feet. Aa we filed out from the hotel at Jeru salem we made rather an imposing show. There were twenty-one of the party, the remaining onea not thinking it suited to their age and strength, and they were right. Our hotel was near the Jaffa gato Just outside the citv wall. This was practically destroyed a few years ago, when Emperor William was there, in order to make a way for the grand pro cession. From a sentimental puiut of view this is to be deplored as it destroyed an ancient land mark to all those enter ing Jerusalem from Jatfa, either by rail or highway. Practically, however, it was not much loss for the day of walled cities is past. Our litt objective point was the Pools of Solomon. This led us south about 8 miles on a splendid macadamized high way along an elevation from which we had a good view of the country on all sides, me clear atmosphere proving very deceptive as to distances. Thia section of the country ia fertile, The principal products seen were grapes and olives. The whole country seemed de voted to the cultivation of these. The olive trees were in full foliage, but it was too early for the blossoms. The grape vines are trimmed down to within about four f. et of the root leaving nothing but the bare slump of tho vine with no sup port whatever. These vineyards were very small indi vidually being separated from each other by stone walla roughly laid, and al nost each o e contained a watch tower, a little round stone structure about 15 or JO feet high. At first I wondered how these trees and vines got earth enough to draw subsistence from, the giound was so stony. It was not far from this place that the spies sent out by Moses from Kadish Rarnea gathered the large clusters of grapes by which they showed the w ealth of the land. By the roadside is Rachel's tomb w here a large well of water is. On the west side, a mile or so from the road was pointed out a Moslem village said to have been the home of Saul'a father. To the east, on an eminence, is situated Bethlehem which we visited on our re turn from the Pools, two miles further on. There seems to be no reason to doubt that these are the Very Poola Solomon built to furnish Jerusalem with water and his own gardens wi.ich are spoken of In the scriptures. There are three of them lying quite near together but at varying elevations. The second one is 111 feet below the upper and the same distance above the lower. The lower one, which is the largest, is l!t yards long and 48 feet deep. They are partly cut out of the rock and partly built masonry and very strong. There are several aourcea of supply tor these but in some manner they were arranged by means of siphons that they could all be kept full and when needed drained out. The remains of the old aquaducta are still to be seen al though repairs on them have been re cently made to supply Bethlehem. At Bethlehem, situated on a high rock point, the chief point of interest waa the church of the Nativity. Here we were shown everything any could ask lor, even to the star that led the wise men, which is brass but placed orer the exa -t spot of our Lord's birth. Our course then lay eastward toward the Dead Sea. We had felt jubilant go ing out from Jerusalem over the smooth hard road and thought an attempt had been made to deceive us in regard to the road. But this illusion soon disappeared. No sooner bad we mounted our horses than we were brought up face to face with the stoniest, fleepest, narrowest road I had ever tried to put a horse over. Shades of MeAdain ! Like goats 011 the mountainside we followed each other single file, holding on with both hands and ready to jump at the first sign of the horse disappearing from beneath over the embankment or taking a header down the hill. But these patient creatures know their business and when let alone got aloDg remarkably well. We soon came to a well of water where our lunch tent bad been pitched in an olive orcbaid and tried to satisfy the appetite a 12 mile horseback ride bad created. The effort was limited only ty our capacity. We were now In the hill country of Ju dea where John the Baptist waa brought up on locusts and wild honey, and to our eyes be was fortunate to get that much. The character of a country lias a great deal to do with the character of its inhab itants and the strong, noble, unbending John was the natural product of the bills of his home land. Passing on down through deep passes and wild gorges we came to Mar Saba, a monastery built of stone in the wildest part ot the gorges, so wild that one wonders why on earth six ty men want to make their dwelling there. Our camp for the night waa pitched in just audi a place, quite near a Bedouin camp and waa decidedly roman tic in spite of the wierdnesa of the sur roundings and unpleasant neighbors. While Palestine ia under Turkish con trol there are large sections where this control is not exercised directly. Some sort of arrangements aie made with the tribea for taxes, Ac, and the Sheck of the tribe Is the real governor. The Sheek of this territory, from Belbleuam to Bethel, by way of Jericho and the Dead Sea act' ed as our guide and was responsible for our safe conduct. For this reason we bad no fear and passed safely through a country in which otherwise many an ad venture of unpleasant nature might have befallen us. Besides this, however, our camp presented quite a formidable a pearance when we all got together. There weie eleven tents, very handsome and comfortably furnished, includiug the dining tent and kitchen, two dragomen, 67 men and women all told aud MS ani mals. The next morning wo got an early start. In fact we usually got an early start, ti.e rising bell sending out its unwelcome sound at 4 o'clock followed by htcve's good natured, cheery voice "Good morning, please," and at i:'M again "Breakfa.it ready, please." 15e- foie Ibe rising suu bad begun to gild the hilltops we were winding our way along toward the IVad Sea which we ica. liixl alter six hours hard riding. This sea has been pictured too often not to recoguite it at the first glance. All that has been said about its saline qualities is true. It's bitter. A good many of the party fol lowed the usual custom of taking a swim in Its waters. They floated like corks. Fai fellows could not get low enough In the water to swim, w hilo a lean novice broke all his former records by sw im ming w ithout a bladder or board. They got a swim but they didu'l get a bath, or a good old fashioned wash which perhaps they needed most after the hot, dusty ride. They might as well have taken a sa int in the dregs of an oil tank. Alter several days they succeeded in gettingthe slime off their skin and hair. I didn't Indulge, having been forewarned, but waited for the more refreshing watera of lialilee. For three days the road over whio'i we traveled was bad beyond de scription. Part of the time w o were on the old road which for 3 00; years has been used as a highway through Samaria from Jeiusalem, and on tho w hole trip but oueo from Nazareth to Tiberias did wo find what made any pretence to a road. One of my surprises has beeu the rougbntaxand barrenness of tho country but especially its rockiness. To us it seemed a hard stretch of the imagination to picture it teemirg with Hoc s and herds, and supporting a large population. Small herds here and there are seen be ing led aloug 011 the hillsides hunting p siure but it teemed a forlorn quest in many places. The country around Beth el and Ai is specially noteworthy in this respect. The hills aie high and steep and somewhere level ground is found. It was with difficulty we could wind our way through. It was while passing through the temper and endurance of the company was tried. Quite a number of the party bad never ridden ahorse before and but very few ol us knew anything about riding, so that through nervous ness and weariness it was a day long to be remembered by many of them. In one place we were descending the hill where we had to walk and no loss than two riding horses and cue pack horse came tumbling down over the rocks like a foot lull kicked from the top of the hill. One pack mule had his leg broke this day. Tnis was the hard part of it and it was hard. Rehoboam made a bad mess of t when he scorued the advice 01 the old men and thereby lost all tho country north of Bethel. Above this there were some fine valleys, all the more beautiful because of their rough setting. When we came to these we lost sight of our hard ships in admiration of the beautiful little valleys. The first one we saw was at our first Sunday camp, Sinjil, We were about 400 or 500 feet above the valley on a hill from which we could see the Medi terranean and loug distances in every other directiou. At our feet lay this val ley and over on the other side was Shiloh. What a restful Sabbath day this was to us all, in the midst of such hallowed as sociations. The day was per to t aud af ter breakfast I walked away from camp a short distance to read the Bible references connected with this landscape. No one could forget the beautiful story of Han nah and little Samuel. But we had als i to read the darker stoiy of Shiloh's which followed. It was a morning of delight. At 10:30 Dr. Leeper preached a most ex cellent sermon and at 4:10 we had C. E. meeting which I led. Passages of scrip ture were read and commented upon re ferring to places we bad already seen. We spent q hour profitably I am sure. Then we walked to the hill lop to see the sun sink to rest in the blue waiters of the Mediterranean. Two days later we crossed the plains of Jezreel and Aesdrae lon in passing from camps Jenln to Naz areth. Thia Is really one plain on the west side but theUilboa mountaiua where Saul met his Waterloo, jut out into the valley and divides it. Jezieel sits on the western extremity of thia elevation. This valley was the scene ol fixing the greatest number of destinies than any other in the world. To the west is Mt. Carmel, where Elijah met the priests of Baal, on the east little llerinon, Mt. Ta bor and Gilboa. In the valley Jezreel, Shuneen, Nain, Ki-bon, witli Nazareth in s'ght on the hillside. How far and bow much one can see from Nazareth. It is a beautiful town, for the east, and has a better class of peo ple than most we have seen. A great many christians live here and seem to appreciate that it was once the home of our Lord. They can show you anything you want to see almost connected with His lifo there. A carriage way leads through from Haifa on the coast to Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. A lew of our weary ones took advantage of this and rode iu car riages, arriving at Tiberias lor lunch The rest of the day we spent by these his torical waters. Very sincerely. J. V. McAninch.
