for her. That the walls of her
room were merely doors leading

Another mirror would presently
open as the others had done, and
she must prepare herself to enjoy
what it disclosed by a. faithful use

she glanced at the other mirrors to

a long time she was unrewarded;
but at last, one evening, to her
great joy, she saw the third key in
the mirror. Quickly pressing it,
the third hall was revealed.
Strains of the most delicious music
greeted her ear. In this hall was
gathered beauty of which the
king's daughter had never dream-
There were fine sculptures
and The hall itself was
most beautifully carved.

to these the Reflector would say
that Col. Skinner is perfectly con-
He has advocated faithful
both with tongue and pen these
measures for the past
The columns of the Reflector
for years back have had pieces
from advocating financial re-
form. If he did not advocate these
now he would go back on his own
record.
The Reflector can assure its
contemporaries in the West that
Col. Skinner has the good farmers
and business men of the East to
back him. He comes of a long
line of influential men in the East
that have always been on the side
of the people This is where Col.
Skinner now stands. When we
say the people we mean not only
the farmers but the masses as op-
posed to plutocracy. He ought
not to be misrepresented in regard
to this. His contemporaries in
this section are Jar-
vis, Hon. L- C- Latham. Hon. T.
G. Skinner, Hon. George H.
Brown. Hon. Jas. E- Moore. C- L.
Pettigrew, W. D. Pruden, R B.
and others- They will not
quietly see Col. Skinner so
treated while they know him
to be a true Democrat- We would
say to the Western press go slow,
in fact be sure you arc right be-
fore yon go ahead. Col. Skinner
is a Democrat. This we feel
in saying we
know him. watched his
course in the past and he has man-
fully battled for Democracy in
every campaign since manhood.
The Alliance and non-Alliance sen-
of this section will support
him for any office to which he may
aspire. Col. Skinner has never
let the Reflector know that he
was a candidate for any office.
We believe he is perfectly sincere
in his advocacy of measures of re-
lief. This has been his life work
as a politician. We have no
son to believe that he has departed
in the least from his past record.
Should he desire our support
the Reflector can be relied upon
as as the entire East. There
is no sense in abusing and
resenting a man because we may
not agree with him in respect to
the method of getting relief. We
have said before and we say now
that there is something radically
wrong with our financial system-
We must have relief.
This will not come by
those who have heretofore
and are still advocating reform.
Let all unite from a common need
in a common cause for relief and
we expect to succeed.

admired the Reflector, especial-
for two tor its
unfaltering advocacy of pure and
unadulterated Democracy; and
second, its manliness, often
to heroism, defending the right
against the wrong. But in your
last, as well as in former issues of
the Reflector, it was shockingly
unpleasant to see that you had
become apologist to what is known
as the Commercial

quarters at the Drexel building,
Philadelphia. Now let us see if

I recently saw stated that they
knew the debt could not be collect-
ed, and yet if immediate payment
was not made they would report
him to the headquarters at
and publish him to every
merchant in America and Canada-
That meant plainly that we, the
Commercial
will boycott you, we will
hound you down. This reminds
me of an incident I once read in a
northern newspaper that took
place at Harper's Ferry. A
of the Federal Army was
stationed on the Maryland side of
the river. For several days a Con-
federate scout appeared on the
heights on the side and
calmly surveyed the Federal Army.
Such daring was only construed
to be impudence, so the Federal
General gave a command that a
brigade should be in readiness.
The brave scout came again and
three thousand rifles simultaneous-
emptied upon him. The scout
fell and his steed galloped away.
This was a sad scene, no bravery,
no heroism there It was enough
to make angels weep. The
apologist can only defend by say-
it was war.
But now when the roar of no
cannon disturbs the quiet and the

every possible step to avoid paying
them, and added that for protection
against such many merchants took
advantage of the commercial

would be willing to uphold people

Now as to our views about a com
agency. Our
dent says this particular one in
question is secret society with
headquarters at the Drexel build-
It is not a
society, and its headquarters
at Chicago, with only a branch
office at Philadelphia. They are
not a body of organized capitalists
for the purpose of boycotting the
and taking revenge
upon the poor. They are simply
a collecting agency, and
more than that. They are. the
lawyers who advertise
a ready to make col-
for anybody who wants
their services- They collect out
of the rich as well as any one else,
will collect for any one else
as well as for a merchant. We
have no idea how many compose
the agency, but suppose it is only
an organization of a few men like
compose the various insurance
companies, or or Dun's
commercial agencies, or some
manufacturing or industrial con-
that requires several men to
conduct. Instead of being an or-
of merchants or a mer-
chants association to take revenge
or oppress the poor or
in any way, the merchants have
nothing to do with and no inter-
est in it further than to pay the
agency for the service it renders
them.
These are our ideas of a com-
agency, and we know of
cases where they help make
out of merchants, doctors,
lawyers, editors, mechanics, farm-
laborers, or any other class
who contract debts and never make
an honest effort to pay tho same,
we expect that they usually
collect more out of merchants than
any other class. To show that
there is no prejudice against
any class we will tell of a list
containing five names which we
once knew to be sent to the agency
with accounts for collection. The
first name was a professional man
who is also a merchant, another
was a large dealer in
another was a spring and hotel
concern that had a bank president
at its head, the fourth was an
editor and the last was a farmer
or laborer. Another man once
told us he sent in a list that wan
headed with a doctor.
Now the Reflector does not say
the above as an apology for, or
in any way defending the
agency. we say it be-
cause our friend misconceives the
idea intended in our former
and because further that we
think his letter is calculated to array
the farmer and laborer against the
merchant and cause them to have
hard feelings against the latter
when it should not be so. The in-
of the farmer and the mer-
chant are identical, and both alike
feel the financial depression that
exists. Instead any hard
feelings being between them there
should be the utmost harmony,
and all should labor together to
remove the industrial depression
and bring about better times than
are now us.
condensers each have seven thous-
and feet of cooling surface. There
will be four double-ended two
single-ended boilers, in tight
compartments. Two of the main
boilers will be thirteen feet four
i in diameter twenty feet
three and one-half inches long,
and the other two will be fourteen

Turning now to her armament,
the main battery of the Raleigh
will of one six-inch rifle
and ten four or five inch rapid-fire
guns. Originally these guns were
to be four-inch, weighing about
one and one half tons each, and
the substitution of five inch guns,
which has since been reported,
would require a reduction of
about fifteen tons in the weight
elsewhere in the ship The six-
inch gun is to be mounted on the
forecastle, and the others will be
all on center pivot mounts, pro
by steel shields. The sec-
battery will consist of
eight six-pounder and four one-
rapid-fire guns and
There will also be six tor-
tubes about four feet above
the water, one fixed in the bow,
one in the stern, and the
four, which will be training tubes,
on each broadside.

expectations, and there is no r Ba-
son for believing that she will not,
she will be quite a formidable

to this country in case of war with

week, not being at all
Some of Mr. Harrison's friends
call this last communication an
ultimatum, but it's dimes to straws
that Mr Harrison did not intend
that Lord Salisbury should put
that construction upon it. There
is no occasion for the sending of
an ultimatum. Nearly a year ago
this Government was notified that
Great Britain not renew the
modus this season, and
yet it now pretends to great
because Lord Salisbury
declines to change his mind. Let
Mr. Harrison quietly order a
naval to Sea
to maintain the rights we. claim
there, and the whole country will
back him up, and Great Britain
will not interfere, simply because
it is none of her business ; but if
he continues to try to stir up the
people needlessly he will find him-
self deserted even by his party.
Has Secretary Blaine resigned
He has been well enough to take a
long walk, such as no sick man
would have undertaken, this week;
but he has not been to the State
department, nor was Lord
dispatch or Mr. Harrison's
answer thereto submitted to him
before they were sent to the Sen-
ate This has an odd look; and
besides, an official stated to-day
that Mr. Harrison had not called

sickness, although his house is

Senator Chandler brought oat
by questioning Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury in re
to his connection with the
expenditures at Ellis Island, the
Government immigrant station,
the astounding fact that the man
who has been acting Secretary of
the Treasury during the absence
of Secretary Foster knows nothing
whatever about the business of
that department, depends en-
upon a clerk of the depart-
who has bee detailed to
as his private secretary, for the
information which his
acts based. In other
words, whenever Gen.

Treasury, the business of that
great department has been com-
in the hands of a clerk. If
the clerk in question knows
enough to be trusted with such

While in your town week, I
was highly gratified by tho
that a prominent name

a probable candidate for the office
of Register of Deeds for this
county. Iain glad to see that the
people are to recognize
the right and the importance of
expressing their own choice.
They are more apt to center
competent reputable men,
than are frequently forced upon
us by cliques. It is neither my

be overlooked or ignored, that
some of our county, as well as
higher officials may lie much bet

Maj. Harding has earned
as well as deserved the implicit
confidence and highest respect of
all who know him. Ho is, and
always has been in cordial
with the best interests of his
county and State. He has earn-
unremittingly and success-
fully labored for the industrial,
intellectual and material develop-
of the people. Especially
has his connection with the
Bureau of the State been
efficient, eliciting
the highest praise from his
and deepest gratitude
from all who appreciate its
benefits
I have an intimate ac-
with Mr. Harding for
more than forty years, and can
reservedly say that I esteem him
one among the very best men with
whom my good fortune has thrown
me. He is universally regarded as
a man of very fine attainments
highly esteemed by all who
know him, eminently qualified
for the position spoken of, and
above all of unblemished moral
character.

A few years ago Colonel is
reported to have uttered the prophecy
that within ten years from the time he
spoke there would be two theaters erect-
ed where one church would be built It
is remarkable that a man of the
of the distinguished infidel could
work himself up to such a pitch of
blind incapacity that he could
utter so remarkably stupid a prediction.
It only the height and depth of
the pit of blind folly into which
dice can lead a so called freethinker.
Any man who labors beneath a
of prejudice as incapacitates
his judgment can in no sense claim to
be a freethinker. He is a slave of slaves.

could have the check to face the world

Colonel must have had a
boundless faith in the fathomless depths
of the of tho public ho ad-
dressed, or else his own ignorance was
unfathomable. We are all liable to
draw wide of the fact, if we
base our estimate of the world upon our
own limited circle of acquaintances.
Sometimes when we know one or two
people who differ with us in religion, or
indeed a subject of vital importance,
we ire too apt to feel if we are out-
numbered in our acquaintances, that
are outnumbered in the world. Many
of feel, when we surrounded in
our daily work by scoffers and
believers, that all the world has deserted
the and that there is no hope for
the future. So the colonel knows a few
agnostics and and basing his
prophecy on his own limited
he predicted the downfall of
Christianity. Let us lift vision a
little beyond this narrow view.

are led to this conclusion
because of the remarkable progress in
organic church life within the period of
years covered by this remarkably stupid
prophecy of Colonel
Within precise period the
of i- lurch life in America has
been the most remarkable in many re-
in our history. Within this past
twenty-five years the number of comma-
in Christian churches in Amer-
has nearly per cent,
faster than the increase of population.
The increase of our population within
that period has been of the miracles
in the development of n lions. The
progress in organic church life in the
of the numbers of

THE SEW CHURCH TOWERS.
Within this precise period of agnostic
prophecy the church has with-
in itself powers hitherto unknown in the
of the world. Within this period
the magnificent organization as
tho Bang's has been born. It
now hundreds of thousands of
consecrated women, their hand
of f. and love, touch human society
at almost possible point of contact.
Within th period has been the
Young Society of Christian En-
over a million active
members. Such an enlistment of the
forces of manhood and woman-
hood in active organic church life is a
development or power of which the
never dreamed twenty-five years
ago.
V, this period has been born tho
Young Men's Christian association, that
now covers the civilized world with its
thousands of buildings and thousands of
organizations and thousands of doors
swinging wide open in all the centers of
metropolitan life. Into those doors pass
and millions of young men. I
mention only these three among the
scores of such organizations that have
been developed along lines of
that are new to church work and were
forces in that past which pro-
ceded this remarkably stupid prophecy.
OF
this very period the
development of modern missions baa
reached a point of which fathers
never dreamed.
Tho advance has been simply
Every nation of earth is now
open to the propaganda of Christian
doctrine, and every nation of earth has

UNITY.
growth of unity in tho
Christian world within this period of
agnostic has been moat re-
markable.
Twenty-five years ago the Protestant
were busy fighting one an-
other. Now they are busy seeking to
co-operate with each other in fighting
evil. Co-operation in aggressive church
work is one of tho orders of the day.
The temper of the Protestant world is
most accurately expressed by the
Professor Austin Phelps, of Andover.
He was a blue
I thought Episcopacy a sir. and
of the devil. I now find a
great deal of piety everywhere where
Christ is owned as tho living head. I
work because I must
work somewhere, and am neither wise
nor strong enough to work alone, and
am not such a fool as to throw away
nine-tenths of my power for good by
trying to work in ecclesiastical solitude.
But I could work just as well in half a
dozen other organic forms of church
life. There is an Episcopal tempera-
and a Methodist temperament and
a Calvinistic temperament, from which
sects grow by natural evolution. At the
core of character they mean little
than red hair or a birthmark. The mas-

There has come likewise to be a better
understanding between the Catholic and
Protestant world. Today, if any move-
is started in great cities look-
toward the destruction of evil and
the uplifting of society as a whole, you
may count with certainty on the support
of a large and influential element in tho
Catholic priesthood. They will be found
by your side on the platform and co-
operating with you in every way to fur-
the common cause.
Within this period we have witnessed
the remarkable reconciliation of science
and revealed religion. Twenty-five year
ago the church militant shivered at the
mention of science and men timidly
thought the remarkable develop-
of modern science threatened the
foundations of tho church. Today science-
is the servant of Christian truth. Today
science is the handmaiden of religion.
Today tho preacher's library contains as
many books of science as books of
and theology.
SEW LIKES OF BATTLE.
display of the power of
adjustment to new conditions, shown by
the church within this period, has given
evidence of its immortal power and its
immortal destiny.
Within this period tho great social
problem has become the problem of the
age, and tho church has shown that
within its heart there the principle
of salvation not only for the individual,
but for society. The pope of Rome has
swung the greet ecclesiastical machine
of the ages into line of battle. He
champions today the cause of the masses.
He lays his hand on the church in Franco
and says to the clergy, cause of
the republic is tho cause of the
And whereas once tho ecclesiastical ma-
chine stood for monarchy and
it has, today, adjusted itself on
the platform of triumphant democracy
that is to
The church of Christ has developed a
liberality in giving within this period
such as the leaders of church life and
mission work did not dream of twenty-
five years ago. Last year gave about
to home missions and
to foreign missions.
All along tho line of tho Christian
world within this past decade there has
been a forward movement. There has
been a remarkably forward movement in
education. Within our own denomination
in the past two years there has given
over to the cause of higher
education. There has been established
the great University of Chicago, which
has laid under tribute the scholarship of
the world and will be a contribution to
the higher education of the whole world.
OP THE MASSES.
Within this period we have had a re-
markable development of evangelism
as tho world never saw before.
Men believe, sometimes, when they read
the past, that the age of Whitfield was
the age of power in the of
masses. It is not true. The past
years has been the age of remark-
able development in the
of of people. There is a man
now at work, whose name many of you
do not know, whose meetings far
more remarkable in results than any of
tho meetings of Whitfield or Wesley.
Rev. B. Fay Mills recently held a meet-
in tho city of Elizabeth, N. J. There
were over professions of faith in
those two weeks. All business in the
city was suspended. Stores were closed.
Thirty-five saloon keepers their
and made confession of religion.
Mr. Mill-- has just closed a meeting in
Cincinnati with results equally as re-
markable. night that lie left 10.000
people filed him, taking him by
the hand, thanking him for the work he
had done, for the blessing he bad brought
to their lives. There are scores of men
today in the field in active evangelistic
work, reaching hundreds and thousands
of people whose work is as large as the
work of the great evangelists of past
It excites no comment today be-
cause it is so common.
THE FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Ill London we have the remarkable
developments of a great metropolitan
mission work. We see tho Rev. Hugh
Price as he starts five years ago
without a single member in hall, with
no church, and in five years builds a
church with nearly members, with
four great congregations, a network of
charitable and philanthropic endeavor
that covers a vast district of the city.
In New York and all our great centers,
within every denomination there is an
aggressive movement looking toward
the reaching and the saving of the great
masses of the people.
Within the precise period of this re-
stupid prophecy has been born
tho Salvation Army. Twenty-five years
ago U seemed that the church lost its
grip on the lapsed and lost millions. In
response to this need the Salvation
Army sprang into existence. Its drum-
beat now around the world. Its
officers and are numbered by the
hundreds of thousands, even by the
million. It is lifting up and saving the
outcast world. It is laying hand on
the great social problem involved, and
gives promise today of the
of this riddle that the
heart of for the past
fifty years.

of this i for life, that never
wearies in to whom defeat or
victory ore alike, to whom, therefore,
there can lie no thing as defeat. In
serried rank, with militant tread, they
press with triumphant faith to
the goal set by the Great Commander.
They march to the waving of unseen
banners, to the throb of music
by common cars Nothing
turns them aside. They are better
equipped, better educated and have a
firmer grasp of truth than any ministry
in the history of the church. Their lives
are more spiritual, and therefore their
work rests upon a surer foundation than
ever before.
THE SECRET OF POWER.
Tho great ministers of the world today
are men not great because of tin ma-
chine back of them, great because
of inherent spiritual power. Even-,
the great ecclesiastical machine i the
world this is equally true of the
world today. Cardinal Maiming
was the typical cardinal of modern
times; and Manning's greatness lay not
in the fact that he wore the red hat, but
in the fact that his life worthy at
the highest honor that Rome might con-
fer.
The ministry of today preaches the
strongest, purest, sweetest Gospel, a Gos-
closer to the heart of Christ than that
of any ago within Christian history. The
prophets of God today ore bolder in their
utterances than ever before in the his-
of Christianity. Their field is wider
and their appreciation of the
of that field are greater. Tho
time was in the past when the court
preacher was proclaiming his message
before the king. He announced the great
truth, men The king
made a gesture of impatience, and tho
preacher hastened to add, with servile
accent, sire, almost If you
had gone to Dr. church

rule in New York, I will guarantee that

And there scores of men

INFIDELITY RETREATS.
only has Christianity made
remarkable progress within this period
of agnostic prophecy, but infidelity has
beat a retreat.
Within this period infidelity has been
dying out with a rapidity that is gratify-
to the Christian believer, and that

It is tho cry of confusion in tho ranks

has been so overwhelming in the thought
of this modern world that it is

sane man makes such a declaration.
Twenty-five years ago it was a common
declaration by public men.
The state of Kentucky in its old con-
had no mention of the name of
God. In tho new constitution adopted
it a of faith and thanksgiving
and prayer. This is not because the
modem world is bigoted and demands
tho incorporation of religious dogma in

the ago which made the old
This idea of God was incorporated
into tho new organic law simply because
the heart of the people was so full of the
idea that it could not be kept out of the
constitution.
THE FRENCH
France is a nation more
than any other in the Old World, and the
student of tho civilization of the race
will do well to study the history of France
first. The French temper is more sub-
to sensitive change, indicating lines
of progress or retrogression in the his-
of thought. Twelve or fifteen years
ago France was practically infidel out-
side tho Catholic church militant. Tim

within this period has undermined the
foundations of a materialistic philosophy.
From the ranks of infidelity and
belief of various degrees these anti-
materialistic isms have been recruited.
Spiritualism numbers its followers by
tho thousand and the million. Spirit-

those who have lost faith or who had no

remarkable developments of hypnotism

hundreds have undermined the basis of

this period Theosophy has been born.
Take two remarkable illustrations
and you will see from whence these isms
are recruited.

he had analyzed the human body and

that man was made of water,
lime, flint and don. He de-
