WASHINGTON, March 5.-The claim,
made in several quarters, that the agita-
ton and delay by Congress over the
internal revenue reduction and tariff re-
vision had seriously affected the business
Of the country, is not borne out by
the records Of the internal revenue, and
the examination Of the receipts for the past
eight months shows there Is not only not
a falling of, but that there'has been net
increase Of s8,oOS,475 over the CORES.

new Tariff Bill provides that
revenue reductions shall 60 into effect May

ceipts OF the Bureau for but two months
OF the present fiscal year. April and

but on account Of the change 1t Is expected
there will be considerable falling of.
The committee has estimated that the
reduction on special taxes and tobacco
would !, cut lofr abou. $6,000000 up to
June 80, which will make the present
years receipts $l40, 900, 900, compared with
$l46, 100000 for last year. The reduction
ior the next fiscal year, commencing July

CLEVELAND, March 5.-The Leader to-day

Rev. Hinkle has created in Episcopal cir
cles: In other ways besides hearing con
fessions and granting absolution for sim
committed, has Rev. George W. Hinkle, O.
Grace Church, given evidence OF possess
ing ritualistic views OF the most pronounc
ed character. One Of the prominent mem
bers Of the congregation said to reporter
yesterday: "Dr. Hinkle is an extreme
ritualist; Of that there can be no doubt In
deed, am inclined to think he pridet
himself upon being such. He has spent
time in England and has imbibed great
many Of the ideas OF the advanced church
men, as they are pleased to term them
selves. The teachings and practices Of this
school are as obnoxious to the main body
Of the church as those OF the extreme low
church,"

members OF Grace Church disagree with

doctrine ?"

sermon in which he advanced the idea
that the indiscriminatereading Of the Scrip
lures by the lay members was harmful, OF

AND MIscoSsTRuISG TIE REVEALED WORD,
it were better that the clergy be permitted
to read and expound the Bible to the peo'
pie. This, as you know, is the teaching oi
the Romish Church. The sermon in which
DR.. Hinkle made these statements brought
out great deal OF criticism, and I don't
know but some Of the members Of the
church spoke 10 him about It, objecting to
the utterance OF such doctrines. Since then
he has been more reserved on that point,
but have no reason to believe that he has
changed his belief in the eslightest.

sional and his practice Of hearing private
confessions and granting absolution we can
not indorse, for 1t is not warranted by the
customs OF the church. The arguments be
uses in It's support are not logical and are
identical with those Of the Roman Catho-
lie priesthood. They do not claim that
they as men have power to grant absolu.
ton from sing; the only point they make is
that the power is delegated to them. DR..
Hinkle does not absolve in his own right
but Us a minister OF God. Although this
argument may be perfectly plain to the
theological mind, it Is too fine grained iol
the masses; they cannot distinguish be,
tween the personal power Of the man and
the delegated power, and thus. fall into the
grievous error OF supposing the man car
forgive sins. The only difference can SET
