their desire to speak. It is
that some of them will have to

of peace. It is not probable
that the Senate will take any action

preceded the correspondence by

Lord Salisbury to reply to the last

It is generally expected that
Representative of Ken-
will be chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Cam-
committee this year. The
committee has not yet been select-
ed, but a caucus, will be held for
that purpose in a few days. Rep-

of the talk indulged in on the floor
of the House when the vote was
taken on the resolution

The House committee on Rivers
and Harbors has closed its hear-
and hopes to have the bill
reported to the House within a
week or ten Chairman
Blanchard says the pressure for
appropriations was at least per
cent greater this year than he ever
knew it to be before, and that
facts concerning the development
of commerce on the great lakes
and navigable waterways of the
country were brought before the
committee, that are simply as-

These facts will be embodied in

special Congressional committee,
left here Wednesday afternoon.
The Commissioner of Patents is
sending out a circular letter to
for printed copies of pat-
that Congress will be likely to
hear from soon. It notifies the
applicant that owing to lack of
room for the storage and arrange-
of printed copies of patents,
their orders cannot be filled until
additional room shall be provided
by the proper authorities. Con-
is the proper authority, and
the thousands of manufacturers,
inventors and owners of patents
who will be seriously
and in many cases need-
embarrassed by not being
able to get copies of patents,
will be asking Congress why some
part of the earned by the
Patent Office, and now lying idle
in the Treasury vaults, is not used
to provide that office with the room
necessary to properly transact its
very important business T There
is but one satisfactory answer that
Congress can give, and that is to
pass a bill authorizing the spend
of so much of his money as
may be necessary to provide the
room needed-
Arguments will be heard by the
World's Fair Committee of the
House on the 21st inst. on the bill
proposing an appropriation for the

March his review
of current events preceding the sermon
in Association hall this morning Mr.
discussed the question of the gov-
control of the coal mine;.
He
Among the recent decisions of
court of the United States of fin
reaching importance is one
the legality of tho grain elevator
of New York. This law regulated the
price of elevating and storing grain. It
was attacked on the ground that such a
regulation was an unconstitutional in-
with private business. The
supreme court holds that any business
affected with a public interest is subject
to the regulation or control of the state,
and that elevating grain is a business of
this kind.
A JUST
This is dishonest progress in the his-
of the role of government in the
world's commerce. The supreme court
has risen to the occasion of a new
needs and rights in this just
We do not pretend to say that for
a moment we believe that our fathers
dreamed of such a law being possible
under the coast it they made.
did they dream of many other things
that have come to pass of the necessities
of a new life and a new civilization tin-
that constitution. This principle,
as by the highest judicial
cf the world, is the entering wedge
of the social revolution toward which
are being driven with resistless power.
There can possibly be no limitation to
its application at last to every business
that touches the public life linked either
as cause or effect to the co-operative en-
of tho community.
OF PRIVATE CONTROL.
More and more is society forced to
pronounce the management of its public
business by private power a failure and a
to the life of the community.
The railroad problem has created the
interstate commerce commission, which
is a temporary and ineffectual make-
shift between private ownership and
governmental control.
The ownership of coal mites likewise
presents us today with another serious
problem to which this principle must be
applied at last for a solution. Through
the past generation the coal mines have
been the storm centers of the labor world.
Down in the darkness of tho earth the
strong strangled tho weak until
again and again the worm has turned
and the oppressor. Strike has
followed strike as season has followed
season. In all these disastrous disputes
and wars between mine owners and
miners, the great outlying, onlooking
stupid public has at last been robbed to
pay tho damages, and sometimes at the
rate of two hundred cents on the dollar.
The price of wages and the price of coal
has been fixed by the sweet will of a
handful of men answerable to nobody.
THREAT.
At this time in England the people
are threatened with a strike of nearly
all the coal miners in tho country to the
enormous number of Such a
strike would mean tho throwing out of
employment cf millions of men in other
trades, and would cause tho advance in
the price of coal such as to para-
tho great industries of tho nation
and bring untold suffering upon the
poorer masses. The owners announced
a reduction of the strike.
The owners say that tho of coal
does not pay for the mining. The miners
say that they cannot on lower
wages. Somebody lies. Who No mat-
who, the public must pay for it.
Whatever may be said about the
ownership of land, certain it is that
air, water and fire are absolutely
to the life of civilization. These
fundamental sources of life should not
be made the subjects of speculation for
private gain. The public has the right
to live. The public has the right to con-
therefore, tho sources of life.
control of these sources has proved
a dismal failure.
THE QUESTION OF HELL.
Peace earth, good will toward
Ii. U.
Colonel said in his recent so
called Christmas sermon, over which the
latest controversy has arisen, that
Christianity has filled the future with
fear and Is this true I would
say just hero that it to me Colonel
has really done cause of
true religion a in the public as-
he has made upon a certain con-
of hell which was prevalent
fifty years ago. I have no disposition to
rob the colonel of this honor. I have
read many things that he has said
the t, and felt when I read
some of that in the main his
was true. I felt like assenting with
emphasis. Lot us give the devil his dues.
Let us Colonel Ingersoll his dues.
The prophet went a
to curse God's people; but instruct-
ed by the ass cu which ho rode, when he
began to deliver his curse it was changed
into a blessing.
Colonel Ingersoll has done a true
vice to Christianity in assaulting this
hell. It was created outside
of the Bible and dragged into the Bible.
MOLOCH IN THE SKIES.
While we readily this is
true, when Colonel says that
filled tho future with
and emphatically dis-
that statement. Christianity has
done no snob thing. Jesus Christ came
into the world that shivered beneath tn
Imaginary Moloch in the skies. The
conception of sacrifice current in the
days that immediately ad-
vent of Christ was the notion of
the anger of gods who were hostile
toward men. Again and again, even
within the Hebrew race, was this de-
graded conception of sacrifice prevalent

this world. Jesus Christ knew that
men could not ho helped in life here by
the unfolding of a terror for the
life beyond. know there have been
men who preached such a hell
who claim to be the ministers of Christ.
I have always been sorry for such men.
I shall never forget in my childhood
hearing a man like that preach on hell.
He described God as looking over into
this furnace and smelling the roasting
flesh. He described the shooting of the
angels and the redeemed as they re-
in the smoke am. the sufferings
of tho damned. I saw that man walk
down the aisle and stand before a beau-
girl whose only sin, so far as he
knew, she did not belong to the
church and would not join because she
liked to dance occasionally. I saw him
stand before that girl and launch at her
head personally all the fierce fires of
material bell which he bad described in
the pulpit. I heard him thus arraign
the trembling girl, until, boy that I was,
I felt that I should like to drag him oat
of the house by the neck. I felt then
that he lied. I know since that he lied.
Alas poor follow his religion did not
help him to live a successful life here.
The last time I heard of him ho was a
from justice, a disgraced and
Wrecked man.
CANON
It cannot be charged that Jesus Christ
is in any way responsible for the modem
doctrine of this furnace of eternal fire.
Canon Farrar recently said that, as a
man of God, as a scholar, he claimed the
authority of scholarship and of honesty
to say, and to say without the fear of
contradiction and with the love of God
and the love of man in his heart, that
not a sentence can be found in the New
Testament, from the opening to the close,
out of which constructed this doe-
of an eternal hell fire. He
that there are only three sentences in the
New Testament that appear to teach
such n doctrine. One of them is a bold
the other two are wrested
from the context and meaning, and
them from without is read the doctrine.
it is that Jesus Christ
himself never appealed to any man to
follow him, lest ho should be burned up
in an eternal fire of hell. Every motive
to which Jesus appealed was tho very
farthest removed from such a motive.

give yon Jesus said, unto
me and I will give yon said,
that on me, there shall
spring up within him a well of water
eternal These are the mo-
to which Jesus appealed, and from
the opening of his ministry to its close
the hell motive is not once found. He
taught none of the modern perversions
of Christianity which belong to this in-
doctrine. Christ cannot be
charged with teaching that babes are
condemned to this fiery furnace. John

The conception of religion which em-

When ho entered his ministry in Scot-
land. He says that was called to see

if she could remember anything in
life, her relations to God, that gave her
special satisfaction now. She said yes,
had always had profound respect
for the clergy. He asked her if there
were anything else. She said yes, she
remembered that she had a barge
in her kitchen, and that whenever she
looked at that oven she always

idea of the occupation of God was that
he was in infernal regions mending
the fire; that he had so many to attend

Whatever such a religion may be, it is
not Christianity, never taught it.
In no sen ran he be charged with its
responsibility. Bet us remember that
historic perversions of Christianity are
one thing, the Christianity of the Christ
another.

night for the destruction of hundreds of
victims. A crash comes and this sin is
read in the flash of this horrible
and it is heard in the shriek of
the dying and tho groan of tho wounded.
We read it written in letters of blood on
the dark flagstones on which the lives
of the victims were dashed out. We see
wandering over those smoldering ashes
broken hearted men who rejoiced more
in tho wreck and ruin of the charred
bodies of those they had once loved than
they could rejoice in life. From this
fiery hell there flashed forth its
of stories of brutality, of crime,
of sin, of wretchedness, of human per-
of broken honor, of bins
dishonored homes and wrecked lives.
The realities of hell are inherent and
inevitable, not or forensic.
wages of sin is when it is
full grown, forth It is
a natural process. It is an inevitable
process. A hell is the creation
of the brain of scholastic tradition. It is
unscientific,
unchristian. has no foundation
in tho of nature or revelation
of God his word, soul that
it shall die says God. And
says nature, echoes life. Death is an
inevitable consequence of sin. Death

man's work, not god's.
Violate the laws of trade, trade dies.
Violate the laws of business, business is
killed. A tho other day at
Ala., took his cotton into town
to sell. The offered, was lower
than the cost of production. Over-
whelmed with despair, he refused to
sell, drove his wagon out on to the mid-
of the bridge and dumped into the
river the of his year's toil.
When farmers in tho south dump into
the sea the hope of their year's toil;
when farmers in Kansas burn their
grain, the day of judgment is come for
the system of commerce on which such
a possibility rests. We have gambled in
cotton and gambled in grain until cot-
ton is being thrown into the sea and
grain is being burned. wages of
sin is sin where yon will,
under what conditions yon may.
Hell, then, is the work of man, not
God. God is in no sense responsible for
hell. inherent and inevitable
of law is the principle on which
the awful fact of hell rests. The
of law man cannot avoid. This
was the teaching of Christ. Violate law
in the body, in the soul of the individual,
in the life of the nation, in the life of
society and the result is punishment.

The latest and daintiest of whims is n
supplement to fancy stationery in the
form of a little pad of finest and
softest of Japanese tissue paper, exactly
the size of a half sheet of note paper.
The paper is white, and has stamped in
one corner a single flower in the natural
color, sometimes shaded or outlined in
gold. Occasionally tho sentiment of the
flower is placed it in the tiniest
gold lettering, or if the young lady be
clever, paints the flower and
a suitable sentiment across the sheet in
ink. After writing a letter she
tears off one of the tissue sheets and
rolls it into tho least possible
and drops upon it enough perfume to
dampen it thoroughly, using, of course,
the perfume of tho flower stamped on
tho paper.
After unrolling it and allowing the
alcohol to evaporate sufficiently to avoid
any soil, she folds her letter slip
