What Chi fstians Can Do IL -p3ey But


d. Talmaoa.-of BrsuK1y YIN, in the course of
| q sernop>on prohibition, said, last Sunday
..In ID at party of national prohibition will
come the men of the present pertieeswho
are tired of building jails and poorhouses
and paying taxes to nix up the work OF rum
sellers; all patriots who want no offices Tor
themselves, but want this nation saved from
drunkenness and crime and to become par
adise of conteutment and prosperity-domes-
tic, social, national. Yea, into that party
the Church OF God will come solidly; the
rum-selling Christians will get out of her,
and go clear over 10 the devil, who owns
them now, from bat to heel; and the Episco-
pal Church and The Methodist Church and
the Baptist Church and the Presbyterian
Church and the Congregational Church and
the Lutheran Church and the Catholic
Church. and all the churches will join
that party OF prohibition. Politicians
NAV scoff at Christian people, but l tell
you that the Christian people to-day,
massed together for any good, great and
philanthropic movement, can carry anything
either at the ballot-boK or in the National
Legislature. They have never yet been
massed for one work. Forgetting all the
differences of creed, let them rise in their
might and the strength of the Omnipotent,
and resolve on'the death of the Rad Dragon,
and the work will be SO thoroughly done in
our day that when we are dead and gone in
the far future, in the museums OF the country
a lachrymal from an ancient tomb and
demi John OF our day will stand on the same
shelf and alike be curiosities about which
the antiquarian will lecture, telling his stu
dents that one was the receptacle of tears for
the dead and the other the fountain of tears
for the living"

PITTsBURG, Pa, October IA few days
ago Ex-Speaker Samuel ]. Randall, together
with Mr.. NJ. Z. Elliott, visited a number OF
their friends IN this city to discuss the result
OF The Ohio election and its effect. These
gentlemen were on their way 10 Washington,
Pa, to address a meeting. ! saw Mr.. Ran
dali, and asked, "Whatwill Congress do in
regard to tariff measures, Mr.. Randallf"
"Ihere will be no legislation which will
cause u general disturbance OF the tariff
laws," answered Mr.. Randall.
-What will Congress do in regard to the
report Of the Tariff Commission"
t'The report will undoubtedly be used as
the basis of new general tariff laws, as the
information gathered by thecommission will
be of great value"
"Wili the report be acted upon at the next
session?
ayes, sir. 1 do not think there is any
question but what it will be considered.
Although as The present Congress will soon
expire, the consideration of the report may
be delayed somewhat on account of that.
Their report will be acted upon as soon as
possible, and there is no question but what
the House will consider il the next session."
"W hat is your estimate of the effect OF the
Ohio eleeiion7n
at makes the Home Democratic beyond
doubt replied the ex-speaker, promptly.
at is my judgment that we will have good
working msjority."
ado you expect gains outside of 0hio?"
81 do, indeed, We shall gain three or
four members in Pennsylvania. I think
Mr.. Hopkins will be elected. He will be
of greater use 10 the district in Democratic
House than Republican member. We will
slso gain in Indiana, get two more members
in New York and gain elsewhere"
Judge Jere Black said that he thought
there would be gain of at least three mem
bersA in Benpsylvania, and also said that
there would be nc doubt OF Mr.. Randalls
election to the speakership j. the Democrats
controlled the House
