SENATOR pLuMB's VIEWS.

Senator Plumb, however, in an inter
view this evening stated that, in his opin-
ion, deficiency, il it will occur. might just
as well come first as last, and that the bill
will probably pass by February lst, which
would give the Department five months to
prepare for it and readjust the salaries Of
fourtl.class Postmasters so that they would
not lose anything by the reduced cancel
latlon Of postage stamps. AS for the supply
Of three cent stamps, that Mr.. Hazen suited
it would be proper to redeem, they could
be used for excess Of postage over the half
ounce the same as six cent stamps are now
used, thus getting rid OF them without de-
stroying or redeeming them; and that there
need be no new two cent stamps issued.
There is one in existence now, and the dies
will not be changed or new one be made.
The Senator is decidedly Of the opinion
that his views will be accepted by the Sen
ate, and that the amendment to give us the
two cent postage on July lst next will pass
that body. II it does this it is very proba-
bic that the House will accept the amend

WASHINGTON, D. O., December 97.--Aftel
the transaction Of some unimportant bust
ness the Senate resumed consideration o.
the civil service bill, the discussion being
on the amendment relating to political as
sessments Senator Hawley in reply ia
Senator Beck, said that gentleman (Beck)
had been challenged emphatically to pro.
duce one person who had been removed
from office for failing or refusing to make n
political contribution in the lust campaign.
No such person has been produced, but il
1t should turn ont that any person had
been dismissed on that account he loped
the officer who dismissed him would receive
rs severe punishment US the law would per-
nit, aswell RS the contempt ofthe American
people. The object at which his (lIawiey's)
amendment aimed was the prevention OF
cxactions from employees OF the Govern.
ment and it was drnwu carefully with that
object IN view. A proposition to 70 be.

Brown moved to amend the amendment
by inserting after the word "beyerage" the
words, ITO excess" Agreed to.
Blair spoke briefly in support OF his
amendment. He thought it entirely rele.

JOHN HopLEY, of the Bucyrus Jour

JOHN HoPLEY, of the Bucyrus Jour
nal, has resolved to raise magnificent
fund to give to the jury for returning
a verdict against Guiteau. He has
been hammering away at it for three
weeks, and is succeeding most admira-
bly,. He publishes ten names of per-
sons who have donated 5 cents each,
or so cents in all, including himself
in the number. The list is headed by
Miss Alice Codding. 1t is not very
pretty name to commence with.
Is it safe precedent to hire jury
to return verdict a certain way? the
next jury that tries a case where pub
lie sentiment is all on one side, might
be induced to return verdict that
would start another subscription. Let
this new scheme of bribing jurors be
stopped at once. It is dangerous
and scandalous thing, and every lover
Of justice-every honest man, should
be bold to denounce bribery in ou1
Courts. 1t is ten thousand times more
dangerous than the granting of rail
road passes to editors and Legislators

that he was so drunk when he killed
Brady that he had no recollection Of
it. And so it is everywhere.
Another marvellous thing is that
such papers as the Commercial should
oppose every measure to check or sup
press drunkenness. Only a day OF
two before the above editorial appear
ed in that paper, it had an editorial
making all kinds of sport of the peo-
pie of Oberlin, because they have de-
termined, at all hazards, and at any
cost, to keep this gigantic crime Of all
crimes, out Of their village.

James and Thomas Mcclure and Law
renee Clark. These men wanted tc
distinguish themselves, SO they got
drunk. There was funeral in the
neighborhood, and the drunken men
attended, and disturbed the proceed
ings so that warrants were sworn out
next day for their arrests. They pro-
cured an old boat and took to the
river, the boat was capsized, they sue
ceeded in getting to little knoll
where they all froze to death. This
is short story, but it is the story of
three lives. Moral-don't disturb a
funeral; don't take TO the river in an
old boat; don't get drunk!

OLIVER S. MILLER was at Gallipolis
last week. He reports quite revival in
progress at that place.
Mr.. Miller is one of those men who
never lets business interfere with his re-
ligious duties. We have often noticed
that the men who observe the Sabbath
day, and take time to attend to other du-
ties, are the most prosperous men in bust
ness. Time and money devoted to doing
good fare not lost, but pay big interest
Miller is very successful man in selling
goods. Call at his store and see his large
stock, and his crowds of customers.

More Crankery.

The nincompoops are again at work
in Columbus. In the proceedings in
the Senate on last Saturday, among
the bills introduced was the following:
MI MI KinneyaTo provide that all election ballots
than two and three: :eghts wide, with blank space
oi an fne ali @
above shall be unlawful.
That is the law now, and it should
be repealed at once. Can Mr.. Kinney
give one single reason for such law? !?
It's only object in the world is to de-
prive voter of his ballot. It is al
most impossible to cut paper within
an eighth Of an inch in width on the
paper cutters in use in country print
ing offices. Last fall we took especial
pains to cut paper for tickets Of the
proper width, and then several thou
sand were returned by the Central
committee as worthless, being about
the thirty-second part of an inch from
the exact width. A voter, to be GER
tain that his ticket is legal, must car
ry an accurate rule with him to the
election. If his ticket should be the
one-thousandth part of one inch too
narrow, he has no remedy.
Are a majority of the members Of
the present Legislature idiots? If
not, they will make haste to repeal
this silly and outrageous law.

A Strange Animal.

Man is the most inconsistent of all
the animal creation. Some years ago
there was a secret society organized in
many parts Of the country, the pro-
fessed object Of which was to teach
men to see themselves as others see
them. This society has evidently
ceased operations, as the result Of its
work is not manifest. Human ma
ture is the same in all ages, and all
countries.
We have been led into this train of
thought by reading two articles in the
N. Y. Independent. One is a terrible
arraignment Of Russia for prosecuting
the Jews, and the other is TRADE
against the Mormons. It is urged
that Norm onism must be crushed out,
If an army has to be sent to destroy it.
Now there is not one-half the reason
for prosecuting the Mormons that
there is for prosecuting the Jews.
The first amendment to the Censtitu-
ton Of the United States is not re-
garded. any more than the 10th, Goth
and 30th chapters Of Genesis, OF the
11th chapter Of 1st Kings.
We think as little Of Mormonism
as any one. The Mormons are mis-
cradle deluded cranks. Ifthey under
stood our faith, they would have the
same opinion Of us. Who is to be
Judge between us? Is it not an ex-
tremely dangerous precedent to crush
out any religious denomination by
laws and bayonets? We hear great
deal on the Fourth Of July about oul
Pilgrim fathers leaving their native
land, and crossing the ocean, and
landing on Plymouth Rock, in order
that they might worship God accord.
ing to the dictates of their own con.
sciences. But those who thus crate
are now demanding worse prosecu.
tion against people who are attend
ing strictly to their own business. Ii
the year 1914 a mob drove the Nor
mons out Of Nauvoo, Illinois, ant
murdered their leader. They sought
peace in the vast western wilderness
and sought that liberty so earnestl.
desired by the Pilgrim Fathers.
! Ought not the preachers who ar
leading in this persecution to g
slowly? Crush out Mormonism (i3 i
can be done,) and what is to preven
the Catholics, as they did for hun
dreds Of years in Europe, from perse
cutting Protestants unto death? Thel
why not the Methodists crush tn
Baptists, and the Baptists the Presby
terians, and the Presbyterians tn
Christians or Disciples?
We know the reply. The Nor
mons are wrong, and we are right
That is the excuse for all prosecutions
Do Catholics believe Protestant
right? Do not Protestants declar
that Catholics are beasts with seve.
heads and ten horns? Better stop an
think, and cling to the first amend
: ment to the Constitution of tn
United States.

Theology Business.

The Portsmouth Tribune has gone
into the Theology. Business, as
Guiteau terms it, and some discussion
has been had. One writer says:
One of the most glaring errors of the Evangelical
church of the present day. is its persistent
e Of

.Another writer answers him, and
says:

unscriptural.
The first writer is correct, as any
one who has been a close observer
can testify.
A short. time ago Rev. Johu E.
Morris preached at Murdock Hall,
Cincinnati. with the following text:
by faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
that believed not.''
We take the following extracts
from his sermon, as reported in one of
the Cincinnati daily papers:
He told the story of Rahab's admission into Israel
aes and and the

Now look at that. The preacher
admits that perhaps outcasts are be-

ton are vain, and he evidently intends
to be understood that persons may be
regenerated, and saved without
reformation.
Believe" and 'Live," he says. Be,

believes. It will not do to believe
that man cannot be saved unless he
lives an honest and pure life-that 6
good tree cannot bear corrupt fruit
etc. (See 7th chapter of Matthew.
Again. he says:
The necessity OF absolute faith, and faith alone,
enlarged upon the only means of salvation, ant
that glance of faith, no matter what the previous

Such teaching is what is driving
honest, decent men from the churches
and leaving them to be run be dirty
raseals and hypocrites.-
