Sam Jones CIlawed Up.

At The First Baptist Church, in Chi
cago, Monday, Rev, Sam. Jones, the
Southern evangelist, sasd "What
a privilege it is to pray. Now want
all those who got down on their knees
and prayed before they came to this
meeting to rise inYtheir seat" About
twenty persons arose in the auditori-
UNI. The evangelist leaned against
the pnlpit and seemed to gasp for
breath. "You may be seated now" he
said. "Why brethren, you would find
more prayerful Christians in Hong
Kong, China, than there are in this
meeting to-day. If you can't pray l
want you to take your carcasses out OF
here. | don't want you to come here
if you can't pray An aged man sit
ting in one Of the front pews leaped to
his feet, and in Il faltering voice said /:
Mr.. Jones don't think it is necessa-
ny for person to get down on their
knees to pray. consider myself a
good Christian, and do not like to
hear such talk"
Il was about to say the same thing"
exclaimed Rev. Mr. Scudder, OF Ply
mouth Church. 81 prayed while on
my way to Church. God does not de-
mand that man shall get down on
on his knees before his prayers are
heard"
"Any more exculpatory remarks%
drawled the evangelist.
Dr. Scudder.-"These arenot excul-
patory remarks"
A man with an ear trumpet arose
and punctuated his remarks with Wig
or~us pounding on the rostrum.

The whisky men have their eyes
fixed upon the August elestions.
They are moving now to stock the

superserviceable convention timber

button-holing the better classes no
no; they would have them keep
sound asleep, and not be put in mo-

ing among the rougher elements,
those whom whisky and money can
influence. This kind of work is seen
in our cities, where the lawless class
es are found, and not so much in the
rural districts And we would pnt
the city people on guard, and have
them get ready to meet the rum
horde at the primaries. If the best
and most substantial citizens remain
away from the polls, OF course they
must expect the city and country gov
ernments to pass into the worst ele-
ments in society. Law and order are
in peril in our municipalities by rea-
son OF the presence of those who are
entirely oblivious to the interests Of
good government. These elements
must be outvoted or society will be-
come subordinated to the rule OF those
who know no law but their greed and
We call upon all law-abiding and re-
putable people, Of all classes and pro-
fessions' to hold themselves in readi-

SENATOR BLACKBURN, ''of Kentucky, sab"
has had himself interviewed, and puts HIM
self on record in way that leaves little doubt
of what he would have done in the troublous
times of 1877, if he had mad the shaping
of the. action of the Democratic can
didates. He says: eff Mr.. Tilden had
at any time put card in the New York
papers declaring himself the rightfully-
elected President of the United States, and
declared his determination to have his rights,
the opposition would have melted away, and
Hayes would never have entered the White
House." Senator Blackburn's memory is
singularly treacherous in that it does not
recall the fact that there was man at the
head Of affairs at Washington at that time
that would have stood no nonsense. He had
seen the orderly processes of the Electoral
Commission carried out body selected and
suggested by Democrats, and it would have
proved extremely unhealthy for Mr. Tilden or
any of his friends to have attempted to have
seized the government by force. 1t would
have been the other side that would have
melted

SENATOR BLACKBURN, of Kentucky, is a
Democrat without flaw from one end of his
record to the other. He declares that in con
versation with the President few days ago
he made use of the following vigorous Ian
guage:
"Mr Cleveland" said, eff I were Pres-
dent of the United States | would call my
Cabinet together and say. Gentlemen, if there
is a single Republican oficeholder in your de-
partments at the expiration of period of ten
days your designations will be accepted forth
with Briefly, | consider civil service the
biggest humbug ever perpetrated upon the
American people,
Mr.. Blackburn doubtless speaks the senti-
ment of ninety nine Democrats in every hun
bred, but the trouble is that the administra-
ton does not dare make clean sweep. The
experience of the President has not encour
aged him to attempt such thing. Even as
it is, the public service is all but Gemoralized,
and the postal service, at least, is worse con-
Quoted than at any time during the past quar-
ter of a century.

PHOTOGRAPHIC THE sun.
A New Appliance in Use at the Harvard OBJ.
servatory.

BOSTON, Aug. PA visitor at the Harvard
College observatory grounds at the present time
will notice what may be described as peculiar
looking box, set horizontally few feet above
the ground. and, never having seen the like of it
before, will naturally ask himself, if not any
body elSe what possible use it can be applied to.
1t is. in fact, an experimental box or wooden
trunk, forty feet in length and four inches in
terror aperture. Through this aperture the light
Of the sun was transmitted, being reflected from
a mirror at one end of the trunk to telescopes

is of forty feet focal length The results thus at.
tainable are equal to the theoretical possibilities
of telescope forty feet long. an instrument of
unmanageable length. An image of the sun Of
greater magnitude than that formerly obtained
is thus secured, that is of four inches diameter
! on the Photographic plate. This experiment was
made by w. II. Pickering, who is the head Of
the department of photography of the Institute
of Technology. There is nothing novel in the
main ideas which the experiment involves But
the experimenter wished to test the matter in
practical way, preparatory to journey for
scientific purposes to the island of Grenada.
which is near the South American coast in about
| longitude 60o west from Greenwich. This island
lies in the centre of the path of the total eclipse
of the sun on Aug 20. This path sire tches
across the Atlantic ocean from the western
coast of Africa. A position mid-oce or
in longitude 200 would be the most favorable for
observation where the sun would be eclipsed at
midday, but no island is available and climatic
conditions will probably prevent anything being
attempted by astronomers the African coast.

chanical contingencies that might arise in tha

Catholics ON the Democratic Ticket.

Indianapolis Special to New York Times.
There are three Catholics upon the Democratic
State ticket-Byrne for Treasurer of State.
Kruger for Clerk of the Supreme Court, and
Sweeny for Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. A number of Democrats think the morn
nations will prove very strong. and that they
will check tendency in the Irish Catholic vote
to slough off, Others are more dubious about
the effect. While not desiring to draw the line
either on nationality or religion, they fear that
three Irish Catholics trifie too much. and
especially as one is for the important Office of
superintendent of the public schools, and if he is
consistent Catholic must share the churchs
views upon our free schools. Besides he comes
from Dubois county. whore the Catholics use the
public school building for parochial purposes.
Mr.. Sweeny is teacher in the public schools
and has been county superintendent, but Dubois
is one of the localities in the State where the
Catholics have had practical control, sharing for
their religious schools in the facilities of the
public schools. The experiment of electing a
Catholic Superintendent of Public Instruction is
one never undertaken elsewhere than in Indiana,
and will be watched with interest.

GEN FITzHUGH LEE was elected Governor
of Virginia because he was the nephew Of his
uncle or rather he was nominated for that
reason and elected because no one not Dem
ocrat stands any chance of election in that
State. The experiment is about to be re-
peated in Pennsylvania, and Mr. Chauncey
Black has been nominated for Governor be-
cause he happens to be the son of the Hon.
jeremiah Black. The campaign is being laid
out on that very ground, and he will be recon-
mended because of his fathers fame. But
Pennsylvania is not Virginia, and they are
not in the habit of electing Governors there
because they happened to have fathers who
were much better known than they are.

Police omcers Poisoned by an Anarchist.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.--It is stated by officers at
the Hinman-street station that Frank Seeman,
who murdered his wife and then shot himself
Saturday afternoon, was avowed Anarchist;
that he spared no pains 10 declare his opinions
against the police and capitalists. 1t is also al
legged that because of these remarks officers
West and Donegan sent TO gain in
formation against the man for the purpose OF
arrestipg him. 1t s said the officers met See
man on Friday afternoon and were asked by him
TO take glass of beer. The invitation. it ii
said, was accepted; that the officers drank the
beer and shortly afterward were taken deathly
sick. The doctor was called and pronounced the
symptoms to be those which appear when q per-
son has been poisoned, and at once applied the
usual remedies. When the pump was used, it ID
said. the contents of the stomach showed that
poison had been administered. and as both Off.
GERS were in the same condition it is thought
that Seeman dropped the poison in Che glasses
while standing at the bar The officers are said
to be all right, and do not attach any particular
importance to the matter.

The Governors proclamation offering a
reward of 81, 900 for the arrest and conviction
of any one connected with the several lynch
ings that have taken place in this State dur
ing the present year, or any that may be
apprehended in any perpetrated here
after is an act that is qualified in its
excellence only by the fact that it was so
long delayed. He has been aware all along
that these crimes were being committed,
and that the apparent immunity from. arrest
was exciting others to the commission OF this
kind of crime against the peace and dignity
of the State. Thus far this year there have
been no less than six murders committed In
Indiana in this manner two within the week
last past, to the shame and humiliation OF all
the people, The name of the State is
becoming by-word all over the country,
and it is reported that Indiana is more
noted for lynchings than for anything good.
The apparent apathy Of the authorities on this
point gave color to the charge, for up to the
present time no action had been taken to sup
press this kind of crime, which advertises
itself so widely TO the scandal of the State.
The amount offered should result in convic-
ton, and it is probable that the evidence ad-
duced will be the means of securing the con-
viction of vet others The work should be
done promptly and thoroughly. 1t is not a
pleasant reflection that the report has gone
abroad that the people of this State do not re-
spect the law and do not have confidence in
their courts of justice. 1t is time to correct
this impression, and it is gratifying that the
Governor has at last been aroused to his duty.
