Ne, Rotary McCuiIOeh on the silver
question.

BY telegraph TO the Dispatch
WASHINGTON, February 28.-Sec-
rotary McCulloch said to-day, in speak
ing of the silver question, that while he
regretted the action Of the House, he
thought that there was no danger of the
country being brought to silver stand
ard at an early day. " The condition
of the country now" he added, " is
favorable for the maintenance of gold
standard. inasmuch as the balance Of
trade is in our favor, and there are no
prospects Of its being against us for
some months. Besides there is large
amount of gold in the country outside
of what is held by the Government and
banks, and there is little disposition OH
the part of the American people to
hoard their money

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-At a
meeting of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to-day the following resolution,
prepared by Representative Phelps,
relative to the Congo Conference, was
adopted by a vote Of 6 to 4:
"That no prospect Of commercial adj
vantage warrants departure from the
traditional policy Of this Government,
which forbids all entangling alliances
with the nations Of the Old World, and
that the participation Of the delegates of
the United States in the so-called Congo
Conference, while carefully guarded, as
your committee is informed, in the pur-
pose to confine their powers to the con-
sideration of commercial interests ex-
clusively, is unfortunate in so far as it
is a departure from the policy which
forbids the Government Of the United
States to participate in any political
combination or movement outside Of
the American continent.
The following, prepared by Repre-
sentative Belmont, will be reported by
the minority OF the committee;
That the House of Representatives.
heedful of the admonitions Of Wash
ington, and faithful to that neutral
policy of separation and peace which
our situation and the wisdom of free
people have hitherto enabled us to
maintain, do hereby explicitly record
their dissent from the act of the Presi-
dent of the United States in accepting
the invitation of Germany and France
to participate in the international Con-
ference at Berlin instead Of declining the
same, as tending to reversal of our
traditional established and approved
foreign policy"

ACTION OF BAPTISM.

When the Savior gave the great
commission he used the word Baptizo,
a word in current use at that time,
which meant then to dip, plunge,
immerse, and which has always that
meaning in classic Greek. All lexi-
cographers, critics and scholars SO
translate the word. The idea Of
sprinkle ispositively not in the word.
The word "Rantizo" was q word then
in current use, which means to
sprinkle. Had the Savior meant
sprinkle He would certainly have en-
ployed that word, hut He did not. No
one will say He did. Che" to pour,
Luo to wash. These words were all
in use at that time, but the Savior
saw fit to use the word "Baptizo,"
but some one is ready to ask how are
we to settle this question? Our wise
men differ and if our great and good
men cannot settle it, of course we
will have to give It up, and conclude
it is one Of the unsettled questions.
It seems to me that the word Of
Gcd ought to be carefully consulted
before we decide in our minds that
this question of "what is baptism p
is not settled. Now will ask you
to go with me to Gods word and note
down what we find. Suppose We
gather up the facts, the correct
theory will harmonic all the facts
and will account for all the facts. II
affusion is the correct theory, it will
account for and harmonic all the
facts. The same is true of INNER
sion. Now for the facts: John the
Baptist "baptized the people in Jor-
dan," Matt, 3rd chap, 9th verse.
Jesus was baptized in the River Of
Jordan, Mark, lst chap. 9Th, 10th
verses, John was baptizing in Enon
near to Salim, because there was
much water there :" John, Srd chap,
23rd verse. Jesus said to Nicodemus
Except a man be born of water and
the Spirit he cannot enter into the
Kingdom of God;" John, 3rd chap,
and 5th verse. Again they came unte
a certain water (Philip and the Eu
nuch) and they went down into tn,
water and Philip baptized him. Aftel
the baptism ''they came up out O
the water"
Here l close for this time. Viii
sprinkIing water for baptism harmon
ize these facts OF account for this
No, not a word of it; but immersion
accounts for all the facts; harmon
ICES them all and is therefore the cor
