Another Eminent Presbyterian Divine
Attacks Predestination.
REV. DIL VAX DYKE ON FATALISM.
Be Argues That Everj Man Is Free to Work
Ont Ills Own Ealration.
DUMAS LJBKRTT IS FOREORDAINED
Tf FECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE niSPATCn.J
Xcvr Yokic, Feb. 14. llev. Dr. Henry
A"an Dyke began a course of pennons this
morning in the brick Presbyterian Church
on "Vital Truths ot the Plague-" His sub
ject to-day W3: "The Rible Against Fatal
ism; or. the Liberty of Man by the Decree
of God."
Dr. Van Djke, in the course of bis ser
mon," vigorously attacked the theory of pre
destination as held by many in the Presby
terian Church, and argued that each man is
perfectly free to work out his own salva
tion. After showing the tendency in the plague
to fatalism in general, the preacher said
that the burning question of the day is
whether man is fated or free. He quoted
from Dr. A. A. Hodge that free will under
lies everything, and if brought to the ques
tion, is infinitely more than Calvinism.
Iffieewill is gone the moral system is
gene.
A Clear and Iitinct Anwor.
Dr. Van Dvke asked his audience to
turn to the ISible. the source of authority
recogniz-d bv Christians as supreme and
final, and find from it whether the soul is
fated or free. He added:
The answer i clear and ditincr. It stands
ontlicsiile of liberty. There i a spirit in
man winch isnuule free from tlio law of
licee it, in order that it may answer to tlio
lawol r"-noiisil)iIitv. Uy the decree of God
man has libeity to decide between rood and
evil, between "obedience and disobedience
to his Maker"- will, and tlie destiny of eacli
soul mut depend upon that choice. That is
ipvcdIoiI as a tact in holy Scrintnre. And
lnctsare the foundation on which our tlie
olosy inutle tj'iiit. We mut proceed liv
induction from the facts, and not by
deduction 1mm a definition. We have
no light to ignore or explain away
this tact of human liberty in order to make
room for our definitions of predestination
or Imcknon ledge On the contrary, weaie
1onnd to limit our theories so thatthev
f-lull leave mom foi this fact. Uut how dif
feicnt i the course which men have fol
lowed in their theologv. They say that
there is a di inc toreknowledire, and they
cixmtosn that it must embrace all things
because it 1-. perfect. If eer3-thin:r is fore
known thev -ay it must be foreordained, and
rverj decision of the human will is deter
mined befoicltand.
Absurd, False and Unreasonable.
Kilt how absurd is this argument, lion
false to the facts, and how unreasonable un
der its appearance cf cxac: logic The per
fection of the divine foreknowledge consists
Jiot only in its quantity, but in its quality,
lfitdidnot correspond to reality it would
not be perfect. It is not a foreknowledge of
things as thev aic not, but a foreknowledge
ot things as the are If the moral decisions
o: ':icli soul were determined tiom eternity
Cod would foreknow it a determined. Iiut
xmccit is fiee God foreknows it as tiee.
Consider. aNo. the extreme form in which
the doctiinc of piedestination lias been
stated and fee ho it is vitiated by the same
lallucv. It is said that God must havca pur-o-o
in the creation of the world, which is
true enough, but it is also said that this di-vim-
pui nose must include every thought and
telling and volition of the human soul, and
that God must therefore predestinate everv
creature loan inevitable late. This is cer
tainly an example ot accurate reasoning
Iroiuinconect premises. It is an amazing
nssiunp'inn to take it for granted that the
divine purnoo must include the volitions as
determined. It may include them as tree.
God loreordains whatever comes to pass. It
.comes to pass that man has the power of
ciioice between good and cVil. Therefore,
human libert3- is toreordaincd by the decree
oIGod.
T!9 Only War to Seek tlio Trntll.
This is the only sound way to seek the
truth. We must not invent a logical theoiy
and then come w ith it to the Bible for proof.
We must look first at the facts as they are
contained m God's Word nnd confined In our
moral consciousness, and then construct
our theory in accordance with them. Wo
must not "confine benpture to theology: we
must confine theology to Sciipturo. We
must hold fast to the divine revelation of
linmnn freedom. A theology which includes
all human thoughts and feelings under
an external decree, and reduces the a
TMrcnt libertv of the will to a mere
power of fuliUing a destiny which -was de
termined for everv man befoio creation, is
lis contrary to Scripture as it is to our
moral sense. A theology which makes the
decisions and actions of our will ltn Ks in an
iion chain of predetermined causes and
effects binds us to practical slavery, even
though it fastens the end of the chain to the
throne of God. But the Biblo defends us
from that bondage, tor it is our stronghold
against the fatalism of the age.
Dr. Van Dyke argued that if man's actions
were determined beforehand he would be as
irresponsible as the dumb animals. All
through the Dible, Dr. Van Dvke said,
man's power ot decision was instanced, the
Apostles following Christ and the Pharisees
rejecting Him; Paul, obedient to the heav
enly vision, while Felix refused the offer of
salvation. All this, he claimed, would be
a vain show if an eternal necessity assigned
to one man the part of a hero and to another
tbe part of a villain These figures in the
pages of the Bible were real, no cunningly
devised puppets.
Tlie Itltite Against Fatalism.
All through tlie Bible a free choice was
offered, and this, Di. Van Dyke declared,
Mould all le a mockery if the choice were
alieady foreordained by God irom all eter
nity. He continued-
Theicisno hardening of heart bv God
save for those who have first hardened their
ow n heal ts. God t'oes not pass bv any door
unless it hasheen locked against Him from
within. Men may teach another doctrine.
They maj disguise the deteiminism of Hux
ley in the l.imruase of St. Fnnl. and tench a
fatalism none the less absolute because it
has been b iptized Hut the Ilible cuts all
the knots ot their Jogic with the swordof
the Spiiit, nnd reveals the truth, which our
hearts confirm, that "man is free by God's
decree." All ni-n free to rcist and perish
or to come and live, and there is no eternal
destinv to di ide them.
This, then, i the decision of liberty which
is contained in the word of God. It is the
Bible against fatalism. It surrounds the
li-redom of man bv the sovereignty of God,
snd defends it from all enemies bv the Al
mighty now er. Itiises like a wa'll of ad
amant asrainst tlio inasion of the spiritual
world bj-tin-dogma of an eternal predesti
nation of each soul to good or evil. Ifj-ou re
fuse the gospel preached to you. ifyon think
that you are bound, foreordained,
necessitated, driven by a power within you,
or above you. or beneath voutoan inevita
ble goal, then you lime created your own
fate. Much has been determined for von by
causes beyond vonr control, your circuit!
s:unccs, your inhentanec, ronr talents; but
one thing lias not been determined what use
you will make or them. Much has been ad
vanced belorrhand, the conditions or life,
the way of salvation by alSedeemenbutone
thing is left for you to decide, and that is
w hcther you ill accept or lefuse it.
CRITICS EXALTING THE BIBLE.
I'rof. llrlggt Thinks the Hi cent Agitations
Make the scilptiiren Detter Keml.
New Yokk, Fell. 14. sxx-fat The
last of the course of Sunday evening lec
tures at the Presbyterian church of the
Covenant, which began last fall, was de
livered to-night by Prof. Charles
Bpigs his subject being "The
Bible and the Higher Criticism."
Dr. Briggs Eaid it' was necessary to know
whether the Bible is the word of God.
This could not be taken on the authority of
the church alone, for the church has luade
so many errors in the past that
it is necessary to see whether the
oHiireh is in error about the
Bible. This, the speaker said, could onlv
lie accomplished by criticism. The criti
cism ot the literature of the Scriptnres is
called the higher criticism to distinguish it
from pimple textual criticism. A nnmber
of obstacles which are urged asirtliodox
confront the critics. Traditional heories
have -iren names of authors 'to.the various
.books of the Bible without reason or dis
crimination.
Dr. -Briggs asserted that no creed, cate
chism or confession hid given sanction to
these traditions. An official decision would
be respected, although it could not be con
sidered by Pr6testants as infallible. When
tradition, however, parades in the livery of
orthodoxy it must be brushed aside and
the study of the word of God entered
upon. In conclusion, Dr. Briggs yiid:
"Criticism is nothing but an exhaustive
study of the Bible, and it has resulted in
making the Bible more read. In the time
when dogma was supreme, the Bible was
simply a treasury to furnish texts to es
tablish the dogmas which were built up en
tirely on deductive logic, but now it is
studied from cover to cover. Think not
that the critics are destroying the Bible;
they are exalting it to a higher position
than ever before."
HIS LAST LEAP FOR LUCRE.
STANLEY, THE nltlDGE JCMriK, YTILX
PISOltAHLY Dili
He Drops Into the Ohio Klver at Cincin
nati ror a Private Pumo and Falls Upon
Hi Mile His VI ife Had Declined the
Feat.
CiN-ciKXATr, Feb. 14. Meredith Stanley,
the bridge-jumper, made what will prob
ably prove a fatal leap yesterday, from the
Cincinnati and Covington bridge, over 100
feet, into the Ohio river. Only a tew weeks
ago Stanley and his wife made a successful
double leap from the Chcspcake and Ohio
bridge. Since then they have been on ex
hibition at a dime museum in this citv.
Stanley is now in bed, suflering intensely
and unable to talk. His side is badly hurt,
and it is feared he has received fatal in
juries. A partv of men a few weeks ago raised a
purse of $2.";, which they offered to Stanley
and his wife to leap from the bridge to
gether. This morning she refused on ac
count of the sum being too small and the
water tpo cold. She accompanied her hus
band down town and then went to see her
mother, while Stanley went to the river,
telling her he intended making the jump.
All knowledge of the proposed jump was
confined to those who had subscribed to
the purse.
At the hour named he walked out to the
middle of the bridge and made the leap.
As he jumped he saw a piece of wood float
ing in the water, and turned his body in the
descent to avoid striking it In conse
quence he fell limn his side, and when he
was in the watw he did not reappear very
soon. "When he did come up it was soon
3cen that he was hurt. A boat took him to
the shore, where he was dressed and taken
home. The patrons made themselves scarce
without handing over the money.
ALL BACK IN JAIL.
Three Mississippi Desperadoes "Who Broke
Jail .Are Rccaptnred.
Jackson, Miss., Feb. "14. Brooks
Story and Sam and Sebe Russell on the
nigTit of October 8, 1691, held up the express
agent at Durant, Miss., and robbed the com
pany of ?2,3IX. Detective Jackson caught
them all on October 27 and placed them in

tingtwoand Sam ten years in the peni
tentiary. On February 5, Detective Jackson re
ported Story in Atlanta county, whither he
had gone to make arrangements to leave the
country jrith his wife. He was turned over
toDeputy Sheriff Sniyfhe, and, en route to
jail, after a severe struggle, managed to
again secure his liberty. The following
Monday Jackson, with G. "W. Brown, of
Atlanta, tracked Story through the jungles
of Yazoo sunflower and into Sharkey county,
locating him at the house of a farmer where
he had tarried to rest his jaded horse. After
two day's reconnaisance, last night at 7:30
Jackson in his bare feet stealthily gained
the house and arrested Story at the point of
a revolver.

nrrCIAL TKLEfiHAM TO TIIR mSPATCIt.l
Kkw Yokk-, Feb. 14. Active prepara
tion for the baseball championship of 1892
has begun. During the past week the ad
vance guard started forsome of the Southern
resorts to go into training. The rush of
ball players'to the Hot Springs nnd other
Southern resorts oflerine facilities for lim
bering up will continue until the pennant
struggle begins.
By the end of the month the directors of
every club will have decided what method
they will adopt to prepare the men for the
battles on the diamond. Most of them have
already decided the question and have so
informed their men. Few of them satisfy
themselves with gymnasium practice, Bos
ton probably being the only club in the big
League that clings to the old method of
training. Baltimore and 'Washington are
far enough South to permit outdoor practice
early in April, so that it isnot necessary
lor the teams ot these cities to leave home.
The new York-Directors were for a long
time inclined to think that a few days work
in the gymnasium was sufficient to take the
stiffness out of thd limbs of the players, but
when the custom of taking exercise in the
South became universal the Giants fell into
line, and now it is in the order of events for
the players of the New York, Chicago,
Brooklyn, Philadelphiaand Cleveland clubs
to make a preliminary excursion to some
place where the climate is suitabje for out
door work in spriqg time.
Teams Going Sonth.
The Giants will leave in March for Rich
mond, Vs., and the Brooklyns will likely
spend a few weeks in Florida, wheie Cap
tain Ward spent some timo this winter. The
Clevclands and Chica&os will go to the Hot
Spi ings early next month; Philadelphia will
likely practice in Georgia.
This unusual activity among tho players
indicates that the rivalry will bo very bitter.
Xevcratthis early date has the feeling be-
t een the clubs been so great. In IJrooklyn
the cranks are already speculating on the
prospects of these clubs humiliating the
Giants, nnd over here bets aro being lreely
made that the local clnb will end the season
in front of tbe Grooms. Manager Ward is
so confident of leading tho New Yorksin the
first part of the championship series that he
has wagered his ten shares of stock in the
"ev York clnb against 20 shares of Diicctor
Talcott's on the result.
Ward is now on a chase for players. He
certainly will have a stronger team than
over before represented Brooklyn on tho
diamond. The personnel has not yet been
given out for publication, but it is likely that
Terry, Lovett. Haddock and Inks will be tho
pitchers; Tom Daly, Con Dailey and Kinslow
ine caiciiers; jirontners, nrst base; ward,
second base; Corcoran, short stop; Joyce,
third base: Burns, Collins and Griffin, ont
fleld. Foutzwill pitch and play in the outfield
if occasion requires.
-In Doubt About Kelly.
There is still considerables doubt hero as
to whether or not Jlike Kelly will be on the
New York team. Jinny of tho cranks want
him, and tho majority of the club directors
would like to have him, but his salary is
too high, and it is understood that the Bos
ton magnates would like to retain him if his
salary could quietly be cut down. The
New York club is trj lug to get him. Pitts
burg has no show lor him nt any price.
Thore is also some hope that Richardson
will again be a Giant, but the hope Is very,
very slim. Jits threat of refusing to play
ball at all if not assigned to this city is
looked upon us nothing more, than a bluff.
If he was so anxious to play here as he
claims to bo he should never have signed
with the Wagners, as it was stated at the
time that some change would occur by
which he would have to play in some city
other thiin Philadelphia. He was perfectly
satisfied to meet any responsibility that
might arise and abide by any decision that
whs rendered. Now through some dickering
he has been able to change his mind.
THINKS WELL OF CAMP.
A Hall Player Says Oar New Pitcher May
Prove a Good One.
CurcixxATi, Feb. 14 Special "Pittsburg
has secured in young Winfleld Scott Camp a
pitcher who was always one of those win
ning fellows called 'lucky,'" said W. T.
Crowell.who was n pitcher in the same team
with him at Seattle In the North Pacific
League last season. "He has n puzzling mo
tion in tho box, but ho lelies chiefly upon a
fast delivery. If he should start off with a
run of victories, nnd his heart does not fall
him. he is likelv to prove a valuable aid to
Fitt'burg. He is very much like 'Kid' Nich
ols and Elton Chamberlain in ills actions,
and always "reminded mo of those players."
Will Crowell is perhaps the only ball
playur in the land who is an insurance
agent. He has been quite successful as a
solicitor, but expects to "go out" in the
spring. "I have been figuring on going back
to Altoohn. .1 played the best ball I ever
did in mv life there when Cross, now of the

dlors at Coal Creek, and Miners Still
Stubborn.
Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 14. The labor
people at Coal Creek held numerous con
ferences Friday and yesterday. One thing
which has caused some of the conferences
was the proposition made by the Tennessee
Mining Company, viz., to conduct the
mine at Briccville on the co-operative plan.
The miners haven't fully decided yet what
they will do, but the indications are that
the offer will be accepted. 'It is said now
that if the offer isn't accepted the company
will sell its property to the Tennessee Coal",
Iron and liailroad Company, the peniten
tiary lessees, who will put convicts to work.
There has been a good deal of confusion
and shooting around the military camp dur
ing the week. One night the wires were
cut and hundreds of shots were fired. It is
evident that the parties doing this hoped to
frighten the militia and cause the'soldiers
to decamp. In this they were dis
appointed, as the troops turned the gatiling
gun loose on them and put them to flight.
The miners deny, that they had anything to.
do with this disorder, and they "are prob
ably correct. The miners declare.however,
that if any miner is hurt by a shot from.the
camp they will kill every soldier there.
So far no one can tell what the outcome
will be. The State has the larger part of
her ''standing army" encamped on the hill
at Coal Creek and the expense is
hpavy. It is certainly true that
if tlie troops are withdrawn the con
victs will be released again. So matters
stand the miners defiant and the State at
a heavy expense. Unless some compromise
is made the outlook is that all operators
will withdraw and turn their property over
to the penitentiary anchconvicts be worked
in all mines, or else the convicts will be
taken away and none but free miners
worked, by the withdrawal of the peni
tentiary lessees.
A CHAPTER ON BEARDS.
Dr. Tntmage Qnotes Scripture, but Says the
Law Doesn't Apply Now.
"There are a number of injunctions about
beards in the Bible," said Dr. Talmage
recently, apropos of his act in shaving off
his own beard, "but they are all in the Old
Testament,.and can hardly be considered im
perative, to-day. The nineteenth chapter oH
Leviticns, twenty-seventh verse, says, 'Ye
shall not round the corners of thy beard.'
In the fifth verse of the twenty-first chapter,
it reads: 'They shall not make baldness upon
their heads, neither shall they shave off the
corner of their beards, nor make any cut
tings in their flesh.'
"These two commandments were to the
children of Israel in general and the sons of
Aaron in particular. Even in modern times
the religious teachers of those Eastern coun
tries wear long beards, because they lend a
particular dignity to their owners."
Dr. Talmage declared that in sacrificing
his whiskers he had not been moved by any
desire to be fashionable. He had not really
observed whether clergymen, as a rule, wore
beards ar not.
"I shave, myself and have a number of
razors that I use in succession," said he. "I
have noticed that a razor sharpens itself if
left alone for n few davs; a remarkable fact,
that is the result, perliaos of the particles
of Btcel readjusting themselves when in re
pose. I shave on Saturday night instead of
on Sunday morning, although I perform
this duty on other mornings."
"Can you tell me why Koman Catholie
priests alwavs have smoothly . shaven
laces?"
"No, I never considered the subject, al
though it is true, of course, that leatures
that are not concealed in any way are more
easilv made to express the various emo
tions." HEW ERA OF THE BROOK.
One of Them Generates Electricity toTropel
Launclirs on a lake.
In times past the brook has been princi
pally remarkable as an excuse for poetry, or
as the biding place of the lusty trout Now,
however, the tiny stream of water is likely
to have a much more important mission
than to make drowsy music over purling
stones. A novel distinction has been re
cently acquired by a little stream -which
runs into the famous "Windermere Lake in
the Jiorth of England, in that it was the
first stream in history that has been em
ployed as the prime mover for electric
boats. Many other streams have previously
been employed lor the mere production of
current, but for this special purpose the
priority of Cunsey Beck standi unques
tioned." This little brook finally falls over a rocky
ledge to the level of Windermere. The
power generated by the " final plunge has
been utilized to turn a turbine, which,
geared directly fo the shaft of a dynamo,
produces the current, which is carried on
telegraph poles to the lake 'side. Here 'the
storage cells stowed away in the launches
are charged, and the boats, without noise.

BLAiWSBIG BILL
Continued From lira rage
meicinl necessities of these countries aro
snch that they could not afford, without
serious financial distress, to withdraw from
circulation silver coins which are at par
with their gold coins to deposit them nt our
mints on payment or their bullion valne in
notes.
An Old World Conspiracy.
The majority report.then continues:
The trnth is that the conspiracy was
formed in the Old World, planned and suc
cessfully carried through, and tlie aim was
to confine through debt-paying mediums
concerned to the single metal, gold. For
this purposa the par of centuries was
broken. Gord was decreed to lapidly vise in
value, thus adding 60 per cent to tho value
of ci edits, enriching ci editors, public and
private, at the expense of debtors anfl tax
payers, enormously denressing the value of
labor and tho products'of labor as compared
to notes, bonds nnd mortgages. " ..
Tho words "free coinage of silver" send a
thrill of terror to the promoters of this con
spiracy and the beneficiaries. They know
that when this great Government thns
throws its weight in the silver balance, the
world will again be restored to full faith and
confidence in the future safety of silver as
the money of the world. .The old par will
return, the two metals being tied together
by tlie strong ligaturo or 44 States nnd 5
Territories, with a population orc.ri,000,000,
and an area of 3,000,000 square miles. Tho
greatest-people and the greatest metallic
power in the world can never bo disturbed.
The conspiracy would be exposed and de
feated. It is this phase issue thev fear not
tho swapping of shiploads of dollars ofsil
verand dollars of gold. It is tho lestoration
of tho bi-mctiilltc par. It is the skeleton of
defeated fiaud and avnrlce that lurks in
the closet of the gold palace, that we aro
called upon to meet in battlo on the froo
coinage question.
Arguments That Aro Contradictory.
Tno bush-whacking warfare waged against
restoration of silver is the most potent ex
hibition of tho weakening of the enemy. It
is argued, first, that all our gold will go to a
premium and be hoarded. In tho next
bioath itissaid that tbe silver miner will
be enriched by coining his bullion worth 75
cents' into a dollar worth 100 cents, not
stopping to think that this could not be so
unless the frco coinage of silver puts it at
par wiin goia, in which cae mere couia u
no premium on gold and no hoardlngjor
sucli reasons. Tlie next slogan is that tho
billions of silver coins of other countries
would immediately be brought hero to ex
chango for our gold, thus, without stopping
to reflect that to-day i e have only $125,000,000
of gold in tho Federal Treasury, and even
this cannot by any proposed free coinage
law bo drawn out in payment for silver
dollars or coinod notes. No citizen of the
United States is compelled by law ti swap
his gold dollar for a silver dollar, nor Is
thero any law in oxistencp,oi- proposed, that
compels an exchange of silver for gold with
out paying any premium that may at any
time exist on gold.
Attain, it is said we give the silver miner
at our mlnt,s a dollar for million that costs
only 71 cents, withont hesitating a moment
to reflect that the gold miner, as is often
done, extracts five ounces a day in gold,
that wo coin into $100 when His da's
wages is worth only $3 or $4, thus coining
his product that costs but $4 into money of
$100 There are no raining statistics that
can even approximate the vast outlay ot
labor and capital, not to suy privation and
deprivation, wasted absolutely in the
search of the precious metals, gold and sil
ver. Tim Cost or Getting Ont Sliver.
Tlie old adage that'"It takes a gold mine
to work a silver mine" is an illustration of
tho costs of sueh mlniug. Many thousands
waste their labor and capital in fruitless
search for the hidden treasure. Thero is
absolutely no reliable data to estimato the
cost that the mining of our precious metals
has, ono wav or another, entailed. As n
mining question it mny be fairly said that
the gold miner now has a monopoly at our
mints, that equality nnd equal justice
would give the silver miner the same privi
lege. But tho mining question, as n matter
of fact, has no place in this discussion. It
is lugged In to prejudice and blind the
mind.
When the ntter inconsistencies and falln
ctes.of all the other objections to free coin
age are shown we are confronted with tlie,
ultimatum that our gold will flee this counJ'
try at once, contracting our currency to the
amount of $fS6, 000,000. Tho monthly state
ment of the Secretary of the Treasury for
Jnnnary,l,lS92,showswohaveinthoTieasnry
gold coin and bullion $278,815,750. The last
annual report'of the Comptroller of the.Cnr
rency shows gold in national banks amount
ing to $S7,G75,142 nnd in private banks and
other institutions fg,8S3 52, a total in banks
of $96,553,694. making n total in Treasury and
in banks of $375,402,554. This amount we
have trustworthy record ns being in this
country. The romainder,of the estimate of
$6Si;,OCO,000 is mere guesswork.
One Really Serions Objection.
Of all the objections urged against free
coinage this, in tbe opinion of your commit
tee, is the only one that deserves serious
consideration. That the chnngo proposed
in our currency laws, involving tho com
plete restoration of the bi-metallic standard,
n return to the coinage of both metals in
eqnal terms, will cause for the moment some
apprehension and pi obably a disposition to
hoard gold mny be expected. Yet any evils
that mayiesult must, in the nature of the
situation, bo transitory. No important
change that effects our fiscal system can bo
made without, in some respects in first
effects, at least, causing some inconvenience
or Iriction somewhere. Yet it will not be
contended that our laws relating to the cur
rency or to the tariff or other modes of taxa
tion are never to he allied.
The.ultimate good to bo obtained is, and
always has been, a sufficient argument for
amendments. To restore silver now would
not make the radical change that was effected
in our currency laws b3- the act demone
tizing it. Indeed, demonetization took place
without warning, and at a time when we
were looking to a resumption of coin pav
mentc, and surely needed all tho specie
possible. We have approached free coinage
gradually. We resumed thp coinage of the
standard silver dollar in 1878, with the dis
tinct purpose of putting this country on tlie
gold and silver basis. At no time since then
has there been a cessation on the part of a
vast majority or our people of eflbrts for its
complete rehabilitation. Wo have coined
-over 400,000,000 silver dollars, and we have,
besides, over 53,000 000 of silver bullion nnd
are now pm chasing 4 503,003 ounces every
month, or 64,000,000 ounces annually.
A Perslntent and Steady Step.
Our approach to free coinage lias been
steady and persistent. We believo silver
should havo .been restored at once in 1878.
Then the longer it is delayed thegrarter the
injustice done to our people. A.few timid
people and a few misers might for a moment
hoard gold, but tho gold in this country for
tho most is held by a class of our citizens
who aro too shrewd and alive to their own
interests to drop this gold in the sea or bury
it in the ground whence it came and whence
it will continue to be exti acted. The hold
ers of sold could not and would not bear tho
loss of so much deod capital. At least, they
would do no more with gold than they aro
now doing, loan it out in contracts for tho
retnrn of principal nnd interest in gold.
We are now suffering all the evils alleged
sir.iinst free coinage by its onnonents. with
out the realization of many of tho benefits
of free coinage clailnod by its friend. The
restoration ot silver as a money metal by
till: country would at onco allay all fears of
its ultimate demonetization by the nations
of the world. It would give confidence in
sllverasa snro medium of exchange, leav
ing no pretext whatever for the apprehen
sions now indulged in. Tbcte could be no
hoarding of gold. The stocks of coined
silver that would add to the world's money
would, in cue nature oi tilings, enenpen gold
and render it less burdensome to
meet gold contracts than now. To take
$COO,OCO,000 of gold out of our circulation im
mediately belore the vacuum could ho sup
plied by tree coinage would necessarily lower
prices to such an extent that gold would buy
moro of commodities than now, conse
quently gold investments hero would ho
more lemunerativo than now. This laet
mono would ut pnee cause gold to be im
ported instead of exported; it. would causa
gold to be invested instead of hoarded.
Gold cannot be hoarded or exported at a
profit till some other -forms or money tnko
its place in our circulation.
A Bonns on Indian Kxports.
The report then takes up the question of
the relation of the silver" question to India
for the purpose of showing that silver de
monetization operates as a bonus on Indian
expdrts to our disadvantage.
Continuing', tbe report says breadstufls
are doing somewhat better now than cotton,
owing to the failure of .such crops nearly
everywhere except in the United States.
Yet.notwithstanding this unusual failure,
our food products are now selling too low
for any profit. These are also falling, and
will sutler the same as cotton under like
conditions. This brings the report up to a
lengthy discussion of bullion purchases.
The majority then go on to show that free
coinage would put more money into circu
lation besides doing what1-is of' prime im
portance, viz, raising the status of silver
the world over. '

A FAMILY MEWAGEEIE
Where a Preacher Imitated Daniel
Qnite
Successfully.
Pine Hill, "SVY., Feb. 14. The resi
dents of Uew York and Brooklyn who
spend their vacation in the Catskills, and
travel over the Ulster and Delaware Rail
road, will remember that, at Big Indian,
William Du Boise has a caga fn which are
three bears, caught when cubs, and which
Mr. Du Boise has made pets of.
One of the bears pave birth yesterday to
three little bears. Unfortnnately the" old
male killed two of them, but Mrs. Dn Boise
succeeded in getting the other safely out of
the cage, and she now has it in her house
where she is raisinc it on the bottle. The
little brute takes to this method as though it
was c little babr. It is about tbe size of a
large kitten and is entirely destitute of hair.
Mrs. Du Boise enters the'den of the old
bears and fondles and pets them as though
thev were kittens. On Thursday, the Bev.
C. H. Travis, pastor of the Methodist Epis
copal Church here, paid the family a visit,
and Mrs. Du Boise gave hjm an invitation
to enter the den with her. As soon as he
got in the male began clawing and pawing
him. By this time the minister's courage
was down, to zero, bnt being a man of the
cloth he felt as though he would be like
unto Daniel of old, and come out un
scratchrd. which he did. He preached to
day on "Courage and Self-Rcliance. "

A SlftjB
TO BLAINE
That Many Philadelphians Cannot
Forgive, Corn'ms as It Did
PR03I TWO OF HIS COLLEAGUES.
Tlie Slight to the , Premier General! J Con
sidered Intentional,
DESPITE THE COmADICTIONS MADE
'CrrCIAL TELE0IIAM TO TJIE DIirATCn.t
Philadelphia, Feb. 14. There is ecn
eral indignation in this city over what is
termed the "snub to Blaine" by Attorney
General Miller and Secretary or the Inte
rior Xoble at the banquets of the Pennsyl
vania Club and the Young Republicans
Friday night. As' was printed next day,
both reviewed and praised each department
of the administration with the exception of
Blaine and the State Department.
A score of prominent Republicans weft
interviewed to-day, and they nearly all
joined in deprecating the slight.
The veteran James McManes said: "I
am not a Blaine man, but I think it was a
great mistake for Mr. Miller and Mr. foble
to make in this Blaine city. It will not
help Mr. Harrison."
Senator Penrose said: "I was not at the
banquet, but if all I hear n true the admin
istration has made a grave blunder."
Slights Apparently Intentional.
State Senator Charles A. Porter said: "I
was present at the banquet of the Young
Republicans Friday evening, and heard the
speech of Secretary Noble. It was an elo
quent speech, and the distinguished gen
tleman showed much force and intelli
gence in its delivery, but I, with
others, was struck with the fact that
he made no mention of Mr. Blaine's
name. I took it for granted that at the
proper time the speaker would give us a
thrilling Fentence with the name of Blaine
in it. But I was disappointed. Mr. Blaine's
name was not mentioned. I dislike very
much to think that these" were intentional
slights to Mr. Biaine, but in view of nil the
circumstances aud the facts, in the case I
can hardly consistently think anything
else. It the omissions were made for the
purpose of subordinating Mr. Blaine,
they were in vain. I have no quarrel with
Mr. Harrison. In manv respects he has
made a most excellent President, but there
is no use of trying to get behind the fact
that Blaine is the popular choice of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania and especiallv of Phila
delphia." "
Itlnlne Too Biz "? Them.
State Senator Ellwood Becker I heard
of the slight put upon Mr. Blaine at the
two banquets Fridny night, and to say that
I was surprised does not begin to express
the state of mv feelings. I am simply
amazed that two gentlemen of such prom
inence, intelligence, and I should imagine
of great political sagacity, should
be guilty of such a thing. It has been said
that in reviewing the work of the adminis
tration they forgot Mr. Blaine. Great
Caesar! How could they forget him? There
might-have been some excuse for forgetting
any other member of the Cabinet, but not
for Mr. Blaine. He is beyond all
question the greatest man in the Republi
can party to-day. He could be the candi
date if he but said it, and in spite of his
letter of a week ago. In fact, he has not
gone too far ont of the way but what he
can be made the candidate. If anything is
likely to cause that consummation it is such
little incidents as were reported from
Friday's banquets.
ALLIANCE DEM0CBATS F.0K HILL.
A Mississippi Legislator Would "Have the
Senator Speak in the Stats Capital.
Jackson', Miss, Feb. 14. Representa
tive Burkett,. State Alliance lecturer, 'will
to-morrow introduce in the House a joint
resolution inviting Senator Hill to visit the
capital of Mississippi and deliver on the
occasion of his visit, a speech on any sub
ject he may choose, on or before the 1st
day of March. In conversation Mr. Burkett
said:
I regard Mr. Hill as nearer in line with tho
reforms demanded by onr people than any
other Eastern Dcmocrnt prominent enough
to be mentioned for the Presidency. Alli
ance Democrats of Mississippi, and nine
tenths or the order nre Democrats, will sup
port the Democratic nominee, whoever ho
maybe. Boies, ot Iowa, or Talmer, of Illi
nois, wonld be acceptable to Mississippi.
My individual preference, however, is Hill
and Urny, hecause I believe that to be tho
strongest ticket that could be presented by
the Democratic party.
It will be remembered that a poll of the
Mississippi Legislature some weeks ago
gave Cleveland the lead over the field.
Senator BUI In Albany Again.
New York, Feb. 14. Senator David B.
Hill evidently changed his mind to-day, for,
instead oi going to Washington, as he had
announced was his intention, he took the
early nizht train for Albany. Senator Cal
vin S. Bnce was in the city to-day, bnt so
far as the hotel people knew, he did not
call upon Senator Hill.
