Th(*.re- port was agreed to. President Haralson returned the thanks of the convention for the very aatlaSactory report, (Laughlt-r.) Rev. D. W. Gwyu of Atlanta, Ga„ presented a resolution recommending the establishment of a repreeentalttve Baptist mission In Palestine, wilth .headquarters at Jerusalem. Dr. Ker- foot suggested that this was largely u matter of sentiment; that In the ob servation of those who had been In the Holy Land, mission work there was rather overdone as compared with other flelds and on his moaton the reso lution was referred to the committee on foreign missions. Rev. H. Wayiand Hoyt. D. D., of Philadelphia, editor of the Examiner, was introduced to the convention. The report of G. W. Morton, trea surer of (the convention, -ws» pre- fionttd and adopted. It shows that Ben-y League of Atlanta, On., de ceased, had by the provisions of his will, contributed to the general fund of the convention $623. On the motion of Secretary Burrows, Treasurer Morton and the auditor, D. w. p Harvey, were unanimously re-elected. Rev. Dr. C. Manley of South Caro lina moved to appropriate the funds contributed by Mr. League for the use of foreign missions. The motion was agreed to. A resolution -was offered by Rev. J. B. Gambrrtl of Georgia providing for the appointment of a committee of seven ito meet with ttje secretaries of state boards and devise a ..leans for ■bringing the Baptists of the South Into groalter co-operation for the work of the Southern Bapitlst Convention. The neceestty and reason for 'the reso lution, Dr. Gambrell said, was shown by the statement that two-thirds of tthe million and a half members of the Southern Bapt'st dhuroh gave nothing to the cause of missions. If the conven tion 1s to meet facts that face It the church boards mu»t be placed on a war footing. _ _ Rev. J. B. Halwthorne, D. D„ also of Georgia, conceded the benefits to be de rived from the appointment of such a committee ae Dr. Gombrell proposed, but he ohjeoted to statements of facts upon which be based his request for tt. The speaker said that as large proportion of members of the Baptlet church In the South contributed to missions as of any other church In the same section. Rev. S. M. Brown of Missouri ssld that the published figures misrepresented facts so far os the Baptises of his Mate were concerned. Rev. J. N.

The feature of the evening meeting was the attack made on the Catholic church bv one of the Texas members In connec tion with the report on foreign missions. The report of the committee on Papal Helds was submitted hy H. F. Sproles of Mississippi. The report stated that al though the work In Maly had met with great opposition from church and state, considerable progress had been made. The workers In Brasil had been particu larly hinldered by political disturbances and the opposition of the clergy. The progress In Mexico had been lees diffi cult and all of those flelds were able to report tbrmie'.vee very nearly self-sup porting. wb«e some of them had already begun missionary work on their own ac count. This report wus followed by a very temperate address by Dr. J. C. HI. den. Who said that e great trouble with the sweeping Statement* made against the. Catholic church was that they did not sweep clesn. They'were too often made Ignorantly by men who were more seslous then well Informed and he coun selled rational. mWd and constllatory methods rather than merely denunciation and epithets.’ "Even on the public school question," said he. "I am retry to see no many of us take the position that the Catholics are all wrong and tad we are all right." This moderate speech wee replied to by n moat vindicative attack on the Catholic church hy Mr. rtnntlll of Texas, who said thnt Romanism "a monstrous lr.stltuttno, a car of Jugger- ant that had crushed out life and lib erty In all ages and In all lands.” h EO FIVES The Spanish Reports of the Insur gent's Death Were Very Greatly at Fault.

He believes that the finan cial question will be the overshadow ing Issue In the next national cam paign, the Issue being between the ad vocates of gold and monometallism an the one efcle and the friends of bi-met allism on the other. He says that It Is the duty of this government to at once restore silver to its proper place as pri mary money, and agrees theft there can ‘be no return at prosperity In thin country until this is done. Silver should be restored, be argues, without waiting for the non tons of Europe to act. The only possibility of gold secur ing at, International agreement. In bin opinion, is for (his country to flrst take Independent action, making restora tion, and the rest will come In good time. Chairman Clay talks at some length upon mutter* of party policy. He Is em phatic In his refer#nor* to the dishon esty and unfairness of the "honest” money talk of the gold monometallism.

"1 do not Insist,” says he, "that there should be free and unlimited coinage of stiver If tb* value of the bullion were to remain at the price It now bolds In the (ace of all the unfavorable legislation since 1871, but 1 do Insist that when stiver Is properly treated by legislation, and M given the same rights aud privileges with gold, and la made primary redemption money, the stiver bullion will advance In price so that the silver bullion that goes Into a dollar will be worth tn the market te much as the bullion that goes Intn a gold dollar. Plies It where It was be fore the Set of 1173, and the demand for the bullion will be ouch as to mnko the legal and commercial ratio os it w*a previous to 1*7$. The question of parity settles Itself.

We loalst that when stiver Is treated us gold, when It Is treated as Is Us right, not only will every dollar be worth every other dollar, but that which goes tn tt will be worth that which ores In every other dollar. Noth ing couhl be more unfair, nothing more dishonest than the Inxlnuaifon in this talk of 'honest money,* that any body favors dishonest money, it la the appreciated dollar.
