EDITOR ADVANCE: Since reading
the shocking account of the Adventist
Freeman killing his little daughter
while under the influence of religious
delusion brought about by the teach
ings of Old Theology, we have felt it
more than ever the duty of every lover
of human progress to discountcnance
such teachings from the pulpit. No
doubt Freeman had been taught to be-
lieye the Bible perfect rule of faith
and practice. 1t seems lie was trying
to follow the example of Abraham max
ing sacrifice of his son Isaac. OF
course he thought If it was right to do
such cruel, barbarous deeds then lin
Bible timcs) it must be right now.
Then again: The dogma that God
sacrificed in the most cruel manner one
of his children that he might save the
rest of the human family from perdi-
ton, gives rise to false IDEAS of God,
makes it appear that lie is cruel and
vindictive and delights in blood shed.
suppose the God Of the Universe was
plCtoCu Will luC IICC VI ltIIllIltIS.
But when religious teachers accuse God
OF killing his own son, that caps the
climax Of absurtlity, just as if we could
be made better.by the example of MUIR
der. Belief in u cruel God has ever
made people cruel. Notloubt fanatical
Christians jus flied themselves, (when
they killed so many people dcnominated
witchesl by saying God told them in his
holy word ''Thon shalt not suffer Il
witch to live" 1t seems strange, in
deed, that people who are sane and have
good sense should believe such mon
strous doctrines. But they do, and we
hope this instance of Freeman acting
in accord with such teachings will wake
up all such from this nightmare Of old
theology, and be the means of their re-
alizing Ito do good is the best relig-
ion." LVEY \. CRAPsEY.

d, NJ ENNEITSEN1ENCED.


D. NJ. Bennett, editor Of the Truth
Seeker, has been sentenced to pay fine
of $500 and to thirteen months impris-
onment in the Albany Penitentiary.
His offence was sending copy Of the
book called "Cupid's Yokes'' through
the mails. Anthony Comstock, the spy
and procuror, wrote Bennett decoy
letter requesting copy Of the work
which WAS promptly sent. Thereupon
Bennett WAS arrested, tried and convict
pl of sending obscene matter through
the mails. 1t was shown that the book
is on sale in New York and sold by rep
utable booksellers such as the Apple
tons, but this made no difference. It
is 4 penitentiary offence to send such
books through the mails. Benefits
counsel wanted postponement of SEN
tence SO that they might apply for
writ of habeas corpus, but Judge Bene-
dict refused it. Bennett wished to
speak, but the Judge refused to hear
him and pronounced sentence.
1t is we'll known to all those familiar
with the matter that the passages in the
book which are called ''obscene" and on
which, BENEFITS sentence is based are
not rs obscene as many passages in The
Bible, in standard medical books, or in
the newspapers which pass through the
mails daily. But this made no differ
enCe. Judge Benedict instructed the
jury that all such evidence was to have
no weight.
The object WAS to dispose of Bennett
because he publishes 4 so-called inf
del" journal. He had offended the
clergy and the Young Mems Christian
Association; and they have had their
spy and p:ocurer, Comstock, watching
him for several years. At last they
have him.
Bennett will enjoy the honor of mar
tyrdom for free thought, unless pardon
ed, as it is claimed he will be in ten
days, and Judge Benedict will 20 on
record with the English Master of the
Rolls to he called ''infamous'' as soon
as the people cease to be pricst-ridden.

SECESSION THREATENED.
The Menace Of a Representative News.
paper In California.


The San Francisco Daily Stock Re-
port, the oldest financial paper on the
Pacific coast, in urging that a monster
mass meeting be held in San Francisco
to demand of Hayes that he sign the
Chinese bill, uses the following extra
ordinary language.
This is most critical time in the
history of California. Whether there
is to be bloodshed and anarchy in our
fair State, riot, incendiarism and mur-
der; whether our green fields are to
be blackened and our garden spot laid
waste; or whether. rather than incur
those dreadful evils, we shall calmly
in the end, all other resorts having
failed, meet and sever our connection
with the national confederation, max
ing laws for our preservation and the
preservation of our children s heritage.
the events of the next two DAYS may
determine. Already such a dread
possibility as secession from the Union,
in the event of our failure to obtain
the relief we demand from the Chi
nese evil, is broadly talked of in high
circles. The East has utterly failed
to understand our situation, and to
extend the aid and sympathy we have
the right to expect from the sisterhood
Of States. Leading men say that we
have pleaded, have exhausted argu-
ments, have cried aloud for relief, but
our most earnest appeals have been
treated with indignity, and our suffer
ings been made mockery. As last
resort we will take advantage of the
geographical lines that surround us,
the vast extent of soil within our
boundaries, the exhaustless resources
of wealth that are ours, and will set
up an Occidental republic, which, if
it cannot rival the old republic in its
glory of the past, will at least be a
magnificent empire of white freemen,
whose heritage shall be preserved to
their children and their children s
children forever.

wounds, inflicted with pair of broken

mangled knee, and Old Crow, Fast
Whirlwind, Porcupine and Left Hand
were rather the worse for wear. The
bucks were accompanied by fourteen
women and children. The journey
from Sidney was made by rail, it being
the first time that any of the Indians
had ever been on a train. They were
frightened at first, but soon found
themselves enjoying the journey, The
children stared out of the windows
and were happy occasionally an ex-
preston Of sadness would fit across
the faces Of the squaws and the bucks
wore look of stolid indifference
They were convinced that they would
either be hanged outright for the
Kansas murders, or be taken back to
the reservation and slowly starved to
death. Aaa tt hA.I

AT IT AGAIN.

Pale Into Utter InsignlfCance...
Perry Parties Painting for
Blood.
owingsyille (Ky.) outlook.I

owingsyille Wyl Outlook.l
The rock-ribbcd hills and woods of
Northeastern Kentucky again rcsound
to the crack of the deadly rifle in the
hands Of desperate factions. This
time the miniature war is being car
ried on in Perry county which lies
contiguous to that of the much writ
ten-up bloody Breathitt. Our infor-
nation, which is gathered from a
thoroughly reliable source, is to the
effect that the factions composed of
the Morgans, Vermillions, Bakers and
Combses on the one side, and the
Davidsons and another set of Combses
on the other, number at least twenty
five bold, fearless men on each side.
One clash has already occurred, in
which one of the Vermillions was shot
through the hips and dangerously
wounded. The shooting was done
from ambush, one of the Nor
gans being in company with Yer
million at the time. Our informant
says the Morgan party recently pur-
chased in Cincinnati twenty-five Bal
lard rifles, with which they expect to
speedily clean out their enemies,
amongst whom, as was the case in
Breathitt, are a number of negroes.
The origin of what promises to be the
bloodiest vendetta in the history of
our crime. stained State dates back to
the August election of 1878, at which
election one of the Davidsons was the
successful candidate for the Office of
County Count Clerk, against one of
the Morgan side. The excitement
ran high at the time, money in un-
usual quantities for that section being
freely used. There has been no
abatement in the bitterness of the
telling then engendered, which
finally eliminated in the shooting and
perhaps mortal wounding of Vermil-
lion.

THE New York Times thinks that
the reform which is steadily making
its way in the matter of expensive,
useless and vulgar funeral pageantry
might well be introduced to the mod
ification of the custom of making we'd
ding presents. A gross abuse has
here taken root and fourished. The
business is entirely overdone and has
lost whatever of significance it ever
possessed, The custom has degener-
ated into actual trade and barter, and
most sensible people will ssympathize
with that courageous Boston girl, who
being about to be married to "a man
Of limited ineome," as they say in
Boston, requested her dear friends
not to send any wedding presents.
She was afraid she would not be able
to reciprocate in kind. This wise girl
of Boston struck the keynote of the

into the United States Passes

WASHINGTON, February 25.-SEN.
ATE-The following is continuation
Of the report of the proceedings last
night, At 2;45 am. the roll call, on
a motion for adjournment, showed
yeas and q nays, less than a quorum.
Shortly afterward the sergeant-at-
arms presented a report that Senators
Davis, Morrill,, Dawes and Anthony
would report in person. Mr.. Blaine
promised immediate attendance. Mr..
Conkling could give no assurance of
attendance. Messrs. Mcdonald and
Patterson were at their lodgings sick.
Messrs. Bayard, Butler, Hamlin, Bar
mum and Chandler did not open their
doors. Other messengers not reported.
Mr.. Edmunds-sotto voce-That' s
what you call compelling absentees,
is it?
Mr.. Harris inquired if the senate
had not power under the constitution
and its own rule to compel attendance
of members.
Presiding oficer-That is for the
senate to decide. The sergcant-at-
arms has made his report.
Mr.. Harris-But has he executed
his order +?
Mr.. Cockrcll-He is in process of
executing it now.
Mr., Harris-Very well. Tfhe needs
more time make no complaint.
Presiding oficer-The sergeant-at-
arms desires to know if it is his duty
to force an entrance, if, upon applying
at the residence of senator, he is re-
fused admittance.
Mr.. Anthony, sarcastically-I would
suggest that this is one of the few in
stances in which the use of military
has not been prohibited.
Mr. Anthony then inquired whether
the senator from Tennessee { Harris J
would have the sergeant-at-arms in
trude into the chambers of senators
and take them by force.
Mr. Harris replied No senator
had right to be absent from the
transaction of public business. If he
did so without leave the senate had
the power, under the constitution and
rules, to compel attendance, and if
this required the invasion of his resi-
dence the power should be exercised. "
Mr.. Morgan said he desired to pre-
sent to the attention of the senate the
case Of Senator Conkling, who would
give no assurance of attendance, and
to inquire how long the senate of the
United States should have to wait for
the attendance OF that senator. He
moved that the sergeant-at-arms be
instructed to bring Senator Conkling
into the senate. He made the motion
special because he had not heard of
any other senator who had dofied the
power Of the senate and refused to
comply with its demand. He wished
to know if one man should dominate
over the senate or should the senate
exercise its authority.
Mr.. Eaton thought it was not proper
to single out a senator iu this way It
would be better to make general orders
to force the attendance of all senators
able to be here.
Mr., Harris agreed with Mr.. Eaton
