PROVIDENT.!;.
The candidacy of John R. Fnrr for the
legislature Is entitled to the fairest con
sideration by the voters or the iMonn
End. His splendid services In the paBt
have been of as much benellt to the peo
ple here ns to those of any other por
tion of this li-Kislative district or state.
For Instance, a well-known North End
man said recently: "1 hnve six children
going to school. It used to cost me $20
a year, but It costs me nothing now, as
a result of Mr. Farr's free, book meas
tire." Hundreds of families here enjoy
these benelits. The prestige that Mr
Farr has Kotten from his educational
measures and his extended experience
will strengthen him for better service
In behalf of the people.
North End voters should not forget
the fact that when .the Oral School for
the Deaf ivm sorely In need of financial
aid John R. Farr. In the session or ".u,
secured an appropriation of !t2.3S for
that valuable Institution. This was the
largest appropriation gnven nn Instl

outside of the cities of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. It Is such service that the
people want in the legislative hulls at
Hitrrlsbuig.

MANY MINISTERS
PREACHED POLITICS
Concluded from Page 5.
The services yesterday at Hickory
Street Presbyterian church were of a
specially Interesting character. It was
the three hundred and seventy-nintn
nniversary of the Reformation. Guth s
orchestra accompanied the- choir at
morning and evening: services, and the
music was very line. Around the pulpit
row of flowers was arranged, ana
gave the church a beautiful appearance.
itev. uiiuin a, .-uruc, cue iiapwi,
preached In the morning on the Refor
mation and his text was from the Acts.
Paul was persecuted, because the Jews
laiined he preached a new doctrine.
The enemies of the Reformation say
hat the founders of it preached a new
doctrine. Paul Bald. "I believe Scrip-
ures, I try to have a good conscience
before God and (hen." So It was with
the Reformers. They brought no new
doctrines. They expounded the truths
of the Scriptures.
His evening sermon was along the
same line. The Reformation was a vic
tory of God. he said, and not a human
accomplishment. The Reformers were
only instruments in His hands. The
Evangelical church Is not a new church,
as some of her enemies would try to
make believe. She stands for religious
liberty and the right of every person to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own conscience. Germany gave
to the world two things, the art of
irlnting, and the freedom of conscience.
To the Reformation we are Indebted
for the word of God with Christ as our
mediator, and the only source of right
eousness as the grace of God. The con
gregation that attended the evening
service was so large that chairs had to
be placed in the center aisle back to
the entrance.

GREEN KIDUE.
An athletic looking young man with
a bicycle lost his way'near James Mc
Hale's grocery last Saturday evening.
He Inquired the road to Carbondnle
and Patrolman Thomas put him on the
right track. It was Henry Boyd, of
Washington, I). C, en route for Wal
ton, N. Y., which point he hoped to
reach yesterday at sundown, thus cov
ering miles since Thursday morn
ing. The boys, as usual, celebrated Hal
lowe'en on Saturday night. The front
gate of Mr. Stevens' home on Albright
avenue, was lifted from Its hinges, car
ried across the street and suspended
from the roof of the glass factory. A
ridiculous act was perpetrated on San
derson avenue. Three or four young
men carried a tall ladder from the rear
of Finn's row, placed It against Clint
Ross' flag shanty and, purloining an
arm cnair irom the porch of Mrs,
Tweed's residence, nearby, placed It
upon the chimney of the flat shantv.
The chair was yesterday viewed by
hundreds f people' and caused much
laughter.
Anthony McQulggan, who fell 77 feet
down the Richmond shaft six weeks
ago, has been discharged from the
I,ackawanna hospital and returned to
his home on Von Storch ave lue. Mr.
Mecjuiggan s escape from death was
marvelous'
cry and robbery, those I shall myself
denounce.
"In the name of Jehovah I proclaim
the effort to call 63 cents worth of sil
ver a dollar, as a cheat and a dishonest
act, a robbery and an attempt to grind
the poor by paying yieir labor in de
based currency. It is a fraud in which
Jehovah in his word thunders."
At this Dolnt Dr. Robinson nuoted
freely from the Scriptures in support !
of Ood-glven eviuence or the superior
ity, stability and exalted position of
gold as against the baser metal, silver.
Referring to Bryan's speech near the
city hall square In Brooklyn, when he
pointed to the, statue of Henry Ward
Beecher and said If Beecher were alive
he would support the Chicago platform.
Dr. Robinson read extracts from one of
Beecher's speeches preserved in the
Beecher archives and In which the fa
mous preacher proclaimed himself as
against anything tending to lower the
standard of the yellow metal. Continu
ing, he said:
"I brand the silver proposition of the
Chicago platform as an attempt to cheat
by legislation and to prostitute public
confidence. It is a craze born of the
demoralization of the times and the
consequent impatience and desire of a
few rich men to become richer in a
short space of time. It will be repudi
ated on election day by righteous love
of man and faith in God. (Amos, vlll:
4, 5, 6) "Hear this, O ye thut swallow
up the needy, even to make the poor of
the land to fall. Saying when will the
new moon be gone; that we may sell
corn? and the Subbath, that we may set
forth wheat, making the epshot small,
and the shekel great, and falsifying the
balances by deceit? That we may buy
food for sliver, and the needy for a pair
of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the
wheat?" Surely, with such example I
can afford to challenge the proposition
as a national dishonor.
"Mr. Bryan does not tell what Is so
when he says this nation is big enough.
Is strong enoush to stand alone." That
might be so If we had no debts, no ob
ligations, no bonds held against us in
the marts of the world. The Chicago
platform ndocutes disgrace and dis
honor when It even suggests a repudia
tion of those bonds, when it proposes
to pay its debts for S3 cents on the dol
lar. No more can a business man 'stand
alone' though he may say so who has
creditors holding his paper up and down
the street. He may try It. but he will
heur from those men. They will tell
him he cannot choose to determine at
his will the value of his notes and con
tinue In business; he would be driven
out of it.
"This is one of the most critical times
In the history of this, tne grandest Re
public ever created. This Is the test
that will determine whether a Republic
is a failure, whether it Is capao of
self-government. ill it survive the
test? It will, and I think the citizens
will so record It on Tuesday."
MAN'S NOBLEST PURPOSE.
In the First Presbyterian church
Rev. Dr. James McLeod had something
to say of politics. His utterances,
were strictly non-partisan, however,
and were Included In his regular morn
ing sermon on "Man's Noblest Pur
pose." He said:
"There Is a species of activity In our
land, that is the child of idleness and
Indolence. It Is nn unmanly activity.
It spurns manual labor. It has no use
for any useful industry. There
are not a few whose whole pin-none In
life Is to secure some petty political
office. For this they will rise early and
sit up late, and toil hard all day, and
visit all the saloons in the ward or In
the city. If they would work half as
hard as mechanics, or merchants, or
laborers, or workers in some Indus
trial field, they would be eminently
successful. But, Instead of this, they
have cultivated an organized uppetite
for office, and this is a prolific source
of Indolence.
"Office-holding Is no sin; nor Is office
seeking, within reasonable nnd pat
riotic limits, to be despised. 'If a man
desire the office of a bishop he deslreth
a good work,' and If a man desire the
outre or a President or of only a con
stuble, he deslreth a good work, that
is, if he seeks It in a manly, patriotic
way. But when men crawl in the
ground and suppress their honest con
victions, and appeal to prejudice and
to passion, nnd are ready to lick the
hand that holds a vote craven, vile
and filthy, that hand may be, then
office seeking on the part of such. Is a
man,, ignoble and disgraceful business;
nnd such office seekers ought to be
burled a thousand fathoms deep under
the ballots of n self-respecting people.
"It Is time, as we nre told, that the
genius of our government directs the
uttentlon of every citizen to polities.'
but the turbulence of electlons.the viol
ence of the press, the desperation of
bad men, the cunning craftiness of
those who lie In wait to deceive, the
powerful inducements to political dis
honesty, the strong emphasis that Is
laid upon 'practical politics,' and by
practical politics, Is too often meant
carry your point; be sure to win by
any and all means, fair or foul' such
conduct Is a stench In the nostrils of all
decent people, and It Is no wonder that
many decent men stand aloof from
politics.
"But that Is a mistake. That Is not
the way to purify the polluted political
pool. Good men, conscientious men
Christian men, all true patriots ought
to take a part In politics. This Is es
pecially true in this land where uni
versal suffrage Is a constitutional right
and privilege. If the patriotic and
Christian men of this nation, of all
creeds and of all parties, would com
bine and say: 'This one thing we will
do. We will purify the politics of our
country, they would undoubtedly suc
ceed. They can do it, and they ought
to do it w'hout delay.
"In the Vhere of politics as in the
sphere of religion, Christianity Is In
tolerant of Indolence. It loves honest
work. It hates a pious fraud. It re
Jolces In that that tolls and
battles and suffers. Manly virtue
needs no glasshouse In which to live.
It needs no artificial heat to make it
grow and prosper. It does not fear the
pelting hail nor violent storm. Indeed,
the storms of life only cause its roots
to sink deeper and to take a firmer
hold upon the Eternal, and thus draw
ing Its sap and nourishment from an
Inexhaustible source, it must needs
flourish and then the world.
DR. GIFFIN'S REMARKS.
Dr. Glffln did not have a political sub
ject for either of his two sermons,
though the thought of each was sug
gested by the campaign. In the morn
ing he urged his listeners to weigh care
fully the question of whether there was
any doubt about their election to a spir
itual life In the world to come. He
cited the good that would follow the
same interest In attaining eternal re
ward as In studying the chances of
political candidates.
In the evening Dr. Olffin advocated
Christ as the candidate who had earned
the support of the ballots of the uni
verse and he made a general slmille of
the present political strife and the ef
for that should be made In the cause of
the Savior.
REV. MR. RACE SPEAKS.
Rev. J. L. Race, pastor of Cedar Ave
nue Methodist Episcopal church, deliv
ered a powerful sermon yesterday
morning on the political situation. He
left no doubt as to which side he Is on
and what his opinion is on the question
of the day.
He said that the Chicago platform of
the Democracy Is from beginning to
end founded on dishonor and repudia
tion. Its main plank, the free silver
one,. Is a proposition to debase the
money of the country for the Interest of
a few mine-owners and for their profit
alone.
He exhorted his congregation to go to
the polls on election day and do their
duty as citizens and patriots fearlessly.
A CONTEST OF PRINCIPLE.
From the Industrial News.
In our last Issue we mentioned the per.
zonal qualifications of the Republican
nominee and told briefly of Mr. Connell's
associations and Interests in this valley.
We do not draw any personal compari
sons between the two candidates; that Is
unnecessary; both gentlemen are well
known. Tills campaign is a contest be
tween principles and the accomplishments
or characteristics of any candidate for
ottlceat Washington necessarily are a sec
ondary consideration. The voter who casts
his ballot for McKinley and Hobart be
cause lie believes in the platform whlcn
they stand upon, must certainly cast rua
vote for William Council, who is the local
exponent of those principles.
