REPORT OF THE SESSION.


To the Congregation of the Central Presbyterian
Church:
1t having been charged that our pastor REV
George r. Pierce) was guilty of plagiarism, the
session have felt it their duty, both to Mr..
Pierce and the church, to give the charge
a searching investigation, regardless of what the
result might be. They did not wish to act
hastily, but have taken the time necessary for a
cool judgment. The investigation was made by
taking the manuscript of Mr.. Pierces sermons
and reading them with the book of sermons from
which they were said to have been plagiarzed.
The result is that the session find the charge to
be wholly unfounded and cruelty unjust. The
sermons were from the same texts, and in part
upon the same topics, but nowhere did we find
that Mr. Pierce had copied" from Parker. The
order and arrangement are different, and the
treatment of topics wholly unlike. The only
reason for anyone reasonably suspecting
plagiarism was the choice of the same texts; and
necessarily some of the salient points or topics
were the same. These facts fastened on the
mind, and all else was forgotten We feel war
ranted in saying that Mr.. Pierce's sermons,
though differing widely, do not suffer by COM
parison with Parker's in any particular. but es-
pecially in their spiritual qualities. We are re-
joiced to say that he Mr.. Pierce) is entitled to
our fullest confidence and merits our strongest
support. We. therefore. earnestly desire that
you will manifest your kindly sympathy for,
and confidence in him in all reasonable ways.

A Trade Secret.
journal of Fabrics


A trader who was fortunate in giving credit
was asked the other day by confrere who, be-
ing less clever, always had lot of failures on
his hands, the cause Of his success, and he re-
piled: when a new customer asks me for
credit, if upon taking advice feel justified in
giving it to him, subscribe for the local paper
of his place, and | study closely the way he ad-
vertises. In the first place. this investigation
shows me what profits he realizes on certain
articles, and so indicates whether my customer
works on good basis or not. Besides this re-
suit, which cannot however, be always exact, in
view of the sacrifices that are made in some
cases, learn also from his advertisements what
his standing is as well as if [ opened his account
books. AS long my debtor advertises ener
getically his advertisements we'll got up care
fully looked after and in good position, he can
get from me all he wishes-Ee is a good risk
but if discover that bis advertisements are
badly arranged and defective, set myself about
settling his account and stopping his credit. The
merchant who cannot pay for his advertisements,
and who allows them to stand in the paper as a
contra-account and In defective shape. because
he dare not take them out, is dangerous Gus
toner. AS for the man who throws away his
money on advertisements in worthless sheets,
simply because they cost less than those in
good journal, he is hare Drained fellow who
knows nothing about business, and who must be
dealt with only on the terms of cash down.

full height again In garrison, with its GENE
terry contiguous, it is customary to resume the
flag at full height after the usual volleys OF
musketry have been fired over the grave, or
when the band discoursing lively music, heads
the procession on it's homeward return.
Other emblems of mourning. such as draping
standards, armories and public buildings in
black, and the period for which it shall continue
all this is determined by orders from the proper
authority in the of the military and by reso-
lutons on the part of civic societies. In ancient
times before the days of flags, banners were re-
versed as a mark of respect.
If citizens are to use the military method to
express grief for the distinguished dead, it
stands to reason to suppose they wish to do it
properly. The Vice president having been con-
signed to his final resting place yesterday, flags
should fly at full height to-day.

The Outlook More Promisinp

The roads seem to be showing Roman firm
ness in the maintenance of rates, and notwith-
standing the movement eastward of corn and
provisions for domestic consumption has now
assumed larger proportions than it enjoyed while
freights were low, for the sufficient reason that
the expected reductions in price have come into
effect and much more than offset the increase in
railroad tariffs. And this state of things augurs
well for the eastward business of the railroads
during the winter months 1t is also Of impor
lance, both to the railroads and to general bust
ness, that the new corn crop has already begun
to come forward so brskly.

The Bridge Toll at st. Louis.

ST Louis, Dec. 3.-The general passenger
agents of the st. Louis east bound lines met
yesterday and adopted a resolution which abol-
ishes the bridge tolls on passenger traffic. Hith-

and the ST. Louis rate was made by adding the
bridge TOLL which is 70 cents on through bust
ness but under the agreement of yesterday st.
Louis proper will be the initial point, and rates
will be based accordingly which is equivalent to

The Alleged Plagiarism of Rev. Mr. Pierce.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals:
In your issue of Nov. IL there appeared spe-
cial from this city, not signed, charging Rev.
George R. Pierce. pastor of the Central Presby-
terrain Church, with plagiarism. You know what
serious damage such charge may cause to the
reputation and usefulness of minister, and how
difficult to blot out the impression made, even if
the charge proves to be wholly untrue The in
closed paper containing the action of the session
of this church, will show you how baseless the
charge is. and is worthy of such a conspicuous
place in your paper as may prove, in some sort,
your desire to deal justly with all men. The
paper exculpating Mr.. Pierce was read at the
close of the morning sevice in the Central
Church, on Sabbath, Nov. %, by member of
the session. L. G. HAY.

The midland and more direct through lines,
now that rates are maintained, are getting fair
share of the business, portion of which, had
rates been demoralized, would have doubtless
gone through Chicago. This causes Chicago
freight men to raise howl and at meeting of
the Chicago trupk-line committee, on Tuesday,
the following entry was made upon the records
of the Chicago trunk-line committee on eastern
bound freight traffic:
Whereas, 1t appears that the present traffic rates
from st. Louis, Peoria and other points west of Chi
cago to the Western trunkine termni, and to inter
mediate points, lower per mile than the established
through rates to the seaboard, that shipments
intended for the seaboard the agreed through tariff
may be evaded by local rebng; therefore the trunk
line committee passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is essential to the proper main
tenance of through tariff that less rate shall be
made from any Western point to the trunk-lne West
ern termini, to any intermediate point than the
proportion of the established all rail rate New York
without reduction of lghterage charge.
Resolved, That the Northern connections are hereby
requested to revise their tariff rates the trunk lines
Western termn and intermediate points, to make
them with the proportion of the New York rate
expressed in the first resolution.
Resolved That any shipments locally rebiiled SO
to reduce the through rate will be charged by the
trunk lines at such rates of their Western termn
will protect the established through from points
of origin.
