MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1895.
It is evident (but Cleveland and Carl
si e are no match (or BelmAnt and Mor
gan in a bond deal.
The only thloc the Administration can
do In the- matter of that obnoxious bond
contract Is to plead paranoia.
The increase In the Treasury gold will
knock nut the hoarders. Gold will not
l allowed to go to a premium.
Tun present Congress will pass Into
lilstory as the oae that missed more
chances of usefulness that any other that
ever existed.
Looking at his large yet helpless hands,
Mr. Cleveland is doubtless thankful that
lie is not to have this Congress on them
much longer.
The fact of most Importance in the
financial matter Is that there would be
310 snch trouble If the Democratic party
had been defeated in 1892.
'The less the country hears of Congress
trom March 4 to December 2 the better it
will be pleased. A rest from danger of
currency tinkering is what is needed.
The high premium at which the bonds
of tho latest loan are quoted shows that
the Government ought to have got better
terma than It did from the money lenders.
One of the strongest props of the pub
file credit is the foregone conclusion that
there will not be another Democratic Ad
ministration In the next thirty years, at
J east.
The only effect which free silver talk
can have In Congress now Is to delay ur
gent legislation. No free silver bill can
reach the President either In this Con-
Kress or the next one.
The Japs have set Corea to rights and
are doing well with their job of house
cleaning in Asia. It is a large contract,
but the fiery little men have given no
sign of a tired feeling.
There will be no more new states ad'
znltted during the present session of Con1
Kress, for the simple reason that the
Democrats do not care to increase the
strength of the Republican party in the
next Presidential election.
Six veterans of Waterloo, fought eighty
zyears ago, are still living in France, four
teen in England and three in the United
States. This represents about all that
ijrill be left ot the veterans In this coun
try fifty years from now.
HALF a dozen more Shermans and
ftirays and half a dozen fewer Tellers and
.Joneses Jn the Senate would be worth
Millions of dollars to the country's busi
ness at this time, and be worth an
finitely greater amount to the country's
credit.
Tws recent severity of the weather may
fee judged from the fact that several
Arctic birds never before seen In England
hive been oaptured In the Cambridgeshire
sfene. Along the South Atlantic coast of
this country the fish are reported to be
iienumbed with cold and, floating In the
Mast rivers in large schools, are caught
the boatload.
Thewk still are a few persons left on
worth who favor the revival of the whip
ping pout, just as there le here and there
jl malleious-mlnded malcontent who
ireuld extract the keenest pleasure from
sewing all his neighbors put to the rack or
tortured with red hot Irons. Fortunately
the Influence of these persons Is not likely
make a tremendous impression on the
legislatures.
Aff a banquet ot lawyers in Edinburgh
met Jong ago a toast was drunk to "The
greatest benefactor of the profession the
man who makes his own will." This
seems to imply that wills drawn by law
yers are net eaccessfully contested iu
Siostland. A better toast would be to the
wan who wants to be a benefactor and
(taxtutes his own will.

As tho Kf-sitlt nf n Protest hy Loading Min

tho Iiignrsoll lecture, hut Yielded to tho
City Atturnoy's Opinion.
Hoiiokcn, N. J., Fob. 25. Tho nttompt
made to prevent Colonel Robert Ingursoll
from delivering his lecture on "Tho Holy
Blblo" at tho Hobokon thentro last night
proved a failure. As tho result of nprd
tost issuo by tho pastors of three of the
most prominent churches In that plnco
Mayor Fagau on Saturday issued orders
that the thontor bo closed yesterday,
thereby practically debarring Colonel
Ingersoll from appearing. Tho mayor's
dbcrco occasioned a great deal of comment
Saturday night, with tlio result that tho
matter was reconsidered yesterday.
lieforo noon Corporation Attornoy MIn
turn and Mayor Fagan called upon tho
Rov. H. T. Bcatty, tho minister who is nt
tho head and front of tho reform move
ment in Hobokcn, nnd stated to him that
it was tho opinion of tho corporation at
torney that no stops could bo takon by tho
authorities to stop tho lecture. Shortly
nf tor noon a consultation was hold In tho
offlco of Chief of Pollco Donovan, nt which,
In addition to tho chief, tho mayor and
Mr. Clark, manager for Colonel Ingersoll,
and Mr. Davit), tho manager of thothoatcr,
wero present. Tho two munngers wero
informed of the decision of tho corpora
tion attorney, and thoy departod with the
assurnnco that tho locturo might tako
place.
To prevent any disturbance on tho part
of tho uudlonco, and also to stop nny blas
phemous utterances on tho part of tho
lecturer, Detectives Nelson and Gallagher
wore sont to tho theater from pollco head
quarters. Beyond frequent hursts of np
plnuso, tho nudlenco wns most orderly,
nnd tho speaker confined himself almost
entirely to his text, with an occasional
ironical allusion to tho clergymen ot Ho
bokon and the statute of Now .Torsoy law
to which tlio reformers had been clinging.-
Ho began his well known lecture with
out any roforonco to tho attempt to stop
him until ho had reached a point In tho
discourse for which evidently ho had been
waiting where ho alluded to tho ignor
anco nnd savagery in tho Blblo. Ho broke
away from his text long enough to say:
There was enacted a statute in the
state of New Jersey a hundred odd years
ago, when most of its inhabitants wero
savages, which says that nobody shall over
discuss tho Blblo except on ono sldo. Since
thon tho inhabitants have grown more
civilized. Thoy have grown to havo a
knowledgo of fair play; thoy havo boon
civilized to n degreo where thoy can real
lzo Its absurdity, and to reallzo that tho
statute sloops in the dimness of tho past.
It has boon invoked by a number of nar
row mlndod porsons who should have died
threo hundred years ago. I do not blamo
them. Tholr heads aro that shape and
thoy aro not to blamo."
Ho said his audienco could make up
tholr minds ".in secret" about what ho
had to say for ho belloved " there was-no
statuto against that." That tho Biblo
was inspired ho had somo doubts; "but,"
ho added, " if tho legislature of Now
Jersey says tho Blblo Is inspired, it is, and
that sottlcs it."
Colonel Ingersoll grow n llttlo more bit
ter as tho lecture progressed, and doclarod
there never was any kindness In tho heart
of a priest, and ho bollovod that there were
persons in Hobokcn today who would
gladly light faggots and build a lire
around ono of their enemies. Ho snld that
no criminal lawyer In tho stato of New
Jersoy would allow a minister on tho jury
that was to try u client of his. It is sur
prising, ho said further on, how much
theso parsons know of God aud how little
thoy know of human nature.
