THE COMMENT.
The general talk over the caucus was
that matters had not been simplified much
by its action. Frank Hurd said that it
was worse than nothing at all, and added,
harmony be -. The free traders
are the ones who talk most en-
phatieally in this vein, but ii
cannot be doubted that the fight on
the tariff question is one yet to come. 1t
is predicted that the tariff bill will be
finally passed by about thirty majority.
From Mr.. Randall's silence in the caucus
the bill in the House. The practical re-
suits of the caucus are somewhat doubt
ful, nearly every Democrat admits.
RANDALLITES CONFIDENT OF THE BILLS
DEFEAT.
The largeness of the vote against con-
sidering the Morrison tariff Gill was the
subject OF much comment after the ad-
jOurnment of the caucus. The opponents
of the bill assert unhesitatingly that the
81 Democratic votes cast tonight against
the caucus resolution, together with near
ly solid Republican vote in the House,
Will certainly defeat the bill whenever
it comes up for action. Three
other Democratic members, namely,
Messrs. Fielder and Ferrel, of New Jer-
sey, and HoblitZell, of Maryland, who
were not present at the caucus tonight,
are known to be opposed to the bill, thus
making, it is claimed, sixty Democratic
votes against the measure, although not
more than thirty-fiye or forty have here
tOfore been thus reckoned in the current
estimates.
TOOMBS ENCOURAGES CARLISLE.
Mr. Carlisle tonight received dispatch
from Gen. Robert TOombs, OF Georgia,
asking him to stick to his tariff policy as
the proper course.

Strange Romance of Salmi Morse's
Twenty-third Street Theatre.
The Twenty-third Street Theatre, where
Salmi Morse attempted to produce his
''Passion Play" says New York special
of the 23d to the Philadelphia Press, was
to-day dedicated as a church for the Cos
pei Tabernacle, and will be known hence
forth as the Twenty-third Street Taberna-
Gle. The morning sermon was preached
by the pastor, the Rev. a. b. Simpson,
who said during his discourse:
'tAs we sit in this building this moru-
ing am reminded of a providence l dare
not fail to speak of. Some two or three
years ago l passed by this building.

lower floors being occupied as a livery

is in the very heart of the city, and l was
impressed with the thought that it was
just the kind of a place needed for our
work. l went to the agent and secured
the refusual Of the building. The project
of moving here was presented to our peo-
pie, but they preferred to go to the other
place.
Later, we desired again to come here,
but strong financial company led bV a
gentleman who had set his heart on the
project of representing the blasphemous
Passion Play had secured the building
for five years. We did not stop praving.
One lady prayed, 20, Lord jesus make
the carpenters fit up that place for US.
Make the Passion people decorate aud
furnish it for us. We cannot afford to pay
$4,000 10 do it ourselves
''GOd did put his hand on il. and he did
stop the public production of that play.
After spending $4,000 in remodeling the
building the project broke down, and the
company gave up the lease. They offered
to sell us their Improvements for $4,000.
we prayed over it and God stopped us
from going too fast. The building was
finally put into the market and sold at
auction, and the gentleman bought it
whom we prayed would buy it. The re-
suit is that we have been enabled to come
in here without paying cent for the i'm
prOVement.S

the constitution, clause clearly covering
it, SO fundamental a consideration as the
education Of the people. If there was any
thing necessary for the general welfare in
a republic it was the education of the
people who formed the republic and made
its laws. If, again, Mr.. Brown said, Con-
gress had the power to protect men in
their exercise Of the ballot, does it not
follow that Congress had the power to

not the right to prepare him to read and
