is hard. it is sad even to lose confidence in !
the moral purity, and theological upright |
ness, sincerity and soundness of a man
who had reached his high position. Great
numbers still cling to him with generous
confidence, while the great mass entertain
chilling, blighting beliefs or doubts. The
Rev. R. S. Storrs, D. D. of Brooklyn is one
of the unsullied lights in the clerical cir
Gle of Brooklyn. Time was when in admi-
ration of Mr.. Beecher, and in the largest
confidence in his purity and integrity, Mr..
Storrs was surpassed by no other man,
But he is true to his honest convictions,
and has the courage to stand By
them, lead where they may. 1t is
well known that he does not give to Mr.
Beecher his respect and confidence as for
merly, neither socially, nor theologically,
we'll knowing this. the committee chose Mr..
Storrs, and not Mr.. Beecher, as the ''orator
of the day. in the inauguration ceremon-
les of the bridge, and the name of the latter
was no where heard, or known on the occa-
sion. New York journal, speaking of
Mr.. Storrs as the selected orator of the day
on the bridge Inauguration says:
"He is probably in greater demand as
an orator for public and important occa-
sions, than any other American citizen, lay
Or clerical. This is the more interesting
to Us because he is a clergyman, of the
highest religious character, yet his elo-
quence is in demand on secnlar occasions,
and he IL j., ard with equal attention by all
classes o. Intelligent men. His reading
and obserI ion have not been restricted
TO professional matters, but with wonder
full versatility of genius he seems to have
resources for the illustration OF any theme,
and he touches nothing which he does not
exalt and illumine as well as adorn. Long
may ne live for the church and the world
PROFESSOR Mezzeroth, the Nihilist and
head leader Of the Irish dynamite party,
arrived in New York from Europe few
weeks ago and has unfolded horrible pro-
gramme and given some startling facts cor
against England. In a special dispatch
for New York to the Boston Herald is the
following: He prof. Mezzeroth,) claimed
that people have right to use the most
effective weapon they can procure to defend
their lives, liberty and property. He said
that if England did not loose her hold on
Ireland, his party would leave her in
mass of ruins; that dozen men could de-
stroy London in night by chemical fire
and dynamite, and that they meant to do it.
He declared that they would blow up every
English man-of war, and all the merchant
marine flying the British flag and plying
between British points on the seas. They
could do this without breaking information.
al law and irrespective Of where they them
selves were located. At very trifing ex-
pense, every harbor in England could be
fired. Then they would blow up every
bank IN England and take possession OF
the gold that England had plundered from
Ireland. Next they would begin the de-
struction of private property, the property
of the aristocracy, capitalists and monopo-
lists They would then fl English rivers
with torpedoes, then the harbors Of Ireland
would be protected with torpedoes, and the
English soldery fought with explosives
They would not destroy the telegraph, but
in particular places would destroy the rail
Dads, so as to render impossible the trans
portation of troops. The professor dwelt
upon the easy method of obtaining and
making explosives IN the heart of London
In closing he said they had England COM
pletely at their mercy and had given her
warning. If she did not take ii, then her
doom would be upon her own head
Who, and where is this terrible professor,
and what is his mission to the United
States: Does he hope to frighten Eng
land, at long range, out OF her senses?
According to the programme of
this puissant professor, the destruction of
London and all England is "as
easy as rolling off log" This immense
Professor, in his terrible gasconade, seems
to act upon the presumption that old Eng
land will lie down passively before her
destroyers. But this bloody minded des-
perado forgets that there would be blows
to take, as we'll as blows to give, and that
the avengers would be met with a destruct-
i've power, that might neutralize their pre-
figured onslaught upon innocent as we'll
as guilty, Unfortunately. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the production of destructive
explosives by advanced scientific modes,
puts in the hands of desperate men pow
er for destruction of most fearful charac-
ter, and may produce disastrous results
locally; but to destroy the world, or ma
ton, and throw it into chaos, q la Mez-
zeroth, is undertaking pretty large con-
tract, and the reality can hardly come up
to the high-sounding manifesto of the
confident professor.
Remember This.
