BY OUR REPORTER.

President Thompson preached in
the University Chapel on Sabbath
afternoon from Luke, 1913, ("And
Zsccheus stood, and said unto the
Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my
goods give to the poor; and if ]
have taken anything from any man
by false accusation, l restore him
fourfold.") The subject was the
temptation which men undergo in
the different relations of life. The
ESPECIAL aim of the discourse was to
point out the temptation to which
students are incident in American
Colleges. The following headings
were practically and earnestly treat
ed of.
l, The temptation to do hasty, SUI
perficial and dishonest work.
2, To substitute unrestrained i'm
pulse for solid, virtuous Christian
character, to mistake license for iber.
ty, and being emancipated from
home to disregard gradually its teach
ings.
3, The temptation to run into un.
just rivalry.
4, To sacrifice heart and conscience
to intellect.

brary are now required to deposit two

Political Afairs.

Is IT kSAygRY or IGSoRAEcE?-K u Sun.
There is nothing mysterious or sacred about
an appropriation bill. II is bill and nothing
more; The idea that Il must consist wholly
o. Inst Of money items, is not only an absur.
uity' put IS at variance with the entire history
OF legislation ia this country.
The Republicans are trying to create the
belief that TO incorporate what is loosely cal
led general legislation in bill that contains
sections which appropriate money, is contrary
70 Inc insarlable practice Of Congress. More
ever, that il is grossly unconstitutional, and
deserves to be branded as revolutionary.
though this is not precisely the question
now agitating Congress, it is well TO note that
all such utterances are the offspring Of knav.
cry or ignorance. The Constitution does not
say one word on the subject, and prescribes
no rule relating to it, either directly or by i'm
plieaiion. The custom Of Congress has not
been uniform respecting it. In the times
prior to Madison'E administration il was not
uncommon to mingle appropriations with sec.
ions OF bills containing propositions OF fun
damental nature, which had no connection
with the money items. Afterward, and for
pretty long period, the line Of division was
drawn more sharply between these two kinds
OF legislation Then again, and notably on
me rise OF the Republican party to power, the
old custom was resumed, and il has been
praeiiced more or less ever since
But IN respect to the precise question that
is now agitating the House Of Representatives
aud IS soon to shake the Senate, only rogues
or slmpletons will assert that there was ever
time in the history of Congress or the Leg
lslatnre of any large State in the Union, when
u was not deemed constitutional, parliament
tary, proper, and orderly to introduce into a
blll approprating money and provisions re
lating to the expenditure Of the money in
question. In pursuance Of this policy, appro.
priaton bills of Congress, and Of States Of
the rank Of New York, Massachusetts, Penn.
sylyania, and Ohio, have constantly contained
sections designating precisely what the money
named in the bill should be used for, or re.
gniring that ii should not be employed for
| certain purposes, and then, IL need be, decar-
| ing that all acts contrary to this particular
act were thereby repealed 1t has often hap.
! pened that these directory and prohib,ory
4 clauses have taken up more space than the
money items in the bill, and have in fact con
/ sltuted its most important features.
/ Now, this and nothing more is exactly what
| the Democrats ia Congress are doing and
| proposing to do in the bills which provide
money for supporting the army, and ior car.
| rying on the executive, legislative, and Judi
I cal departments Of the Government. Never.
1 theless, there are leaders Of the Republican
/ party, both in and out of Congress, who are
trying to frighten simple people into the belle
that such legislation is extraordinary, uncon
stitutional, and even revolutionary
