...Hall, Boston, at 8 o'clock. The object of the meeting is to protest against the suppression by the government of facts concerning crimes committed by United States soldiers in the Philippines. Speeches will be made by prominent men, and testimony given by eye-witnesses. A subject of such vital importance to the country should prove of great interest...
...apparently overpowering critical instinct which so pervades most numbers--little recourse, in fact, to antedeluvian poets or appreciations of literature which but for the efforts of the writer, would probably never, be unearthed.

This portion of the By-Laws, and certain other vital sections, such as those fixing salaries, departments, and policies, so far as possible to be laid down should be amendable after having been once adopted only by a meting at which a very high proportion of members were present and voting, or by the Australian ballot again, with all proper...
