W ill He Brushed Aside by the Need of N'utnrol Expression. By the United Press. - Minneapolis, Oct. 25. In his speech In the Exposition building when 9,000 peo ple crowded In to the auditorium and ns many more were turned away, Thomas B. Reed said: "Nothing but business uncertainty produced the dis aster. For the next two years there are two fixed facts: First, the presi dent and senate are Democratic, conse quently if the house 1 Republican, as we expect to make It. it will simply educate the people. The other fixed fuct Is that the senate bill Is a law. Whatever good there may be in It will be shown by trial. "I am told you have not only the Democracy to contend with, but also with what are called Populists. In con gress we did not notice much difference. In all essentials these people ranged themselves behind the Democratic leaders In both hoUBe and senate. It was thought we would have them in Maine, and 16,000 was claimed for them. They had 3,0oo. The fact is, the people are eager for a national expression of opinion, and will never be contented to be bulked of their verdict. Other states have tried this Populism, and if you wish to be thought of In the next two years as Kansas and Colorado have been thought of, It would appear to be a strange spectacle, and es pecially after both these states will have better sense this year."

DJY0KCES LIKELY TO FOLLOW An Lrrutla Preacher Who Formerly Be longed fo the Presbyterian Church Is Creating llnvoo by Strange Doc trines Which lie Advances. By the United Press. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 25. The preaching of the Rev. Dr. W. J. McCrory. pastor of the Free Presby terian church of Rochester, Pa., has cre ated a sensation throughout the Beaver valley. His recent discourses, urging the application of the Biblical laws concerning unequal marriages has caused trouble in several homes and may lead to divorce proceedings. The havoc has been accomplished by the application of Mr. McCrory's favorite idea of "sanctlflcatlon on earth" to the marital vows. Two years ago Dr. McCrory with drew from the Presbyterian church be cause of the refusal of the Presbytery to recognize his doctrine of sanctlflca tlon. He buses his statements on a portion of the verse of the sixth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, which reads: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, fur what fellowship hath righteousness i with unrighteousness, and what com- I munion hath light with darkness?" I McCrory's Peculiar Reasoning. On this text the divine descanted very forcibly and fervently. Following this base of reasoning he argued that where a Christian and ungodly one were so yoked together a great sin waa committed and was repeated with everyexerclse of the prerogatives of the bond. These utterances created no small sensation among Dr. McCrory's followers, who are implicit believers In the doctrine he preaches, and the new doctrine on intermarriages was liter ally accepted. A dozen or more engagements be tween young people have been uncere moniously severed, while In at least three Instances women who have been for some time married and are mothers of families, have also accepted the doc trine. The new doctrine has taken firm hold among the populous valley at the Junc tion of the Beaver and Ohio. The con sequences are, however, certain to prove disastrous In a number of fami lies.
