Rev. L. ". Donald Says the Bible Doesn't
Teach Total Abstinence.
The third annual meeting of the
Protestant Episcopal Church Temper
ancc Society was held in Baltimore
last week in ST. Peters p. T. Church.
After religious services were held Rev,
Percgril { N'roth read the annual re-
port of the society. The report shows
that the society has made but little
progress in the past year. 'Lhc total
receipts were SI50.74; the disburse-
ment5 were 500 TO the society in New
York and S56.74 TO Rev. Campbell
air on account of loan The report
Embraces Il set of resolutions touching
the death Of Bishop Pinkney and of his
active work for the temperance cause.
Rev +. ". Donald. of Ascension
Church, New York, was introduced
and said: ".Although the secretary's
report does not show much progress.
still it is all that expect. If you hope
to see decrease in the drunkards YOU
will be much disappointed. The reas-
on why the march of the temperance
cause is 50 Slow is because of the I'M
truthful methods practiced by SO many
people who advocate the cause. Some
people say that the Bible is on the side
of total abstinence | say it is not, but
1t does teach temperance. In this city
there arc not over 1000 men who tot
ally abstain from liquor When YOU
tell your boy that the chances are that
he will become a drunkard if he drinks
wine YOU do not til the truth; statis-
tics will not show it, 1t will not lessen
the number of drunkards to persuade
men to keep wine away from their
tables and sideboards, because the
craving for liquor docs not originate
from the taste Or sight, but from a dis
ordered and nervous system" Rev.
W. c. Batter also addressed the meet
ing.

innumeraple jobs and swindles, IN the
shape Of large or small appropriations
are tackled on to general appropria-
tion bill, along with items that are
reallv meritorious and which must be
opproyed or stop the wheels of govern
meut. This is the case every year,
and the president must either consent
70 what himself and the whole conn-
try know to be swindles, and approve
the general bill, or run the risk oil
leaving every department of the gov
ernment unprovlded with the neces'
sary means of support. He naturaily
shrinks from the latter course; the bills
usually come in at the heels of The ses-
sion, when time is pressing and funds
are low-sometimes completely ex-
hausted. There is clamoring for the
money, which is in the treasury only
awaiting the presidential order to flow
out like water, and thus these frauds
and impositions go Throughout on
their own merits, but by virtue OF the
system which makes it ''all or moth
ing'' in considering such measures.
There is a field for reform in the revis-
ion of this system, as well as in the
tariff, for itrobs the country ofmillions
of dollars.

JUNCTION CITY, April 22-This
morning at about O'Clock the court
house in the town of junction City
was discovered TO be wrapped in
flames. The alarm was sounded
throughout the town, and all turned
out to the scene of destruction, but it
was too late to do anything in the way
of preserving any of the records. The
fire seemed to originate in the east
pant of the building in the clerks of
flee. The entire records of the county
Were destroyed except the treasurer's
books, his Office being away from the
courthouse. The fire Is supposed to
be the work of an incendiary, but
/ there is no clew as to who it can be.
There being several cases ON the crimi-
nal docket OF the district court, and a
good deal of litigation in land matters,
it is thought that some parties inter
ested in court affairs had touched the
match, butas yet there seems to be no
clew or even anything that looks prob
able TO the discovery. The losses and
damages to the county ara estimated
at from SIS 900 10 $4,000; no insur-
ance.

rat Men see tho system OF law
which they lock to for protection useu as
a shield for red-handed murderers ana
sbrewd rcgues. They can have no
rcspect for such thing. Their COM
nonsense rebels at the thought OF per
hitting criminals to evade the penalty
of oflenses by the use OF that very ma
chinery of the law that had been de-
vised to insure just punishment.
Moved TO Indignation by the frequent
occurrence OF such eases, they resolve
to execute justice, though In doing so
the forms of law are disregarded. III
is less culpablc, they contend, to at
tain the ends of justice without the
forms of law than to observe the forms
of law that lead to injustice. AS long
ne there Is occasion for this feeling, II
will prevail, and lynch law will rule.
The way to stop lynch law Is to avoid
its necessity, and this Adams case Is
one in which the actors in its proceed
ings can make mob violence popular
or establish respect for law.
