THE CHAPLAIN,s PRAYER.

There is something ludicrous in a scene
such as was witnessed in the house of rep
resentatives at Washington last Saturday.
when several congressman got into a quarrel
over the chaplain's prayer. As a rule the
average congressman doesn't know much
about the merits of prayer. But in this
case the quarrel was not over the form or
spirit of the petition so much as it was in
regard to the kind of information that
the chaplain was imparting to the Al
mighty. The reverend gentleman who
gets 5000 year for RECALLING the speaker
and stenographic clerk of the house with a
stereOtyped petition every morning while
the members are in the cloak room putting
their wraps away, took a new departure
last Saturday. He converted himself into
a sort of bulletin board for the benefit of the
celestial inhabitants and gave them some
very startling information in regard to
matters that are transpiring in this num-
dane sphere. The first sensational para
graph that appeared in this ceri-
cal bulletin-with large plea head
lines-was that the biggest revo-
luton ever known on earth was Just about
k.S
ing everything before it like a bosom of
destruction. 1t is easy to imagine what a
sensation this announcement must have
made among the seraphic inhabitants of
New Jerusalem. If Mr.. Moody is correct
in his statement that heaven is a place
just as New York or Boston is a place-it
is easy to conceive what a stir there was
created in the upper world when it became
known that reign of terror was about to be
inaugurated on earth, with all the probabili-
ties of a large immigration heaven
ward to follow. If the reverend gentle
man who acts as official spiritual adviser to
congress had contented himself with the be-
lief that OmniScience knows as much about
what is going to happen on earth as any
chaplain does he would have saved him
self from appearing in very ridiculous
light.
But having unburthened himself of all
he knew. and perhaps a little more this
clerical congressional official proceeded to
ask for favors to suit the emergency which
his imagination had pictured. In this re-
spect he succeeded much better than posing
as news bulletin. And it was this
part of the remarkable prayer which stirred
up the ruction among the congressman.
When he commenced to pray that the scales
might fall from the eyes of the rich. that
they may make better use of the wealth
which the Lord had loaned them than to be
paving SIS. 900 for S25 vase, and that
selfish monopolieS might have souls breathed
into them, he struck very tender spot in

"Under Election" is the title of a play
presented at the Turner hall last evening
by club or number of actors selected
from among Scandinavian citizens. 1t
drew out large audience, and it was en-
phatic in its expressions of approbatl on
from the audience The plot of
the play is founded upon the
local issue and advocates and forwards the
cause of DR.. Ames, upon the liberal plan.
1t exposed the hypocrisy of the present adj
ministration and extolled the noble quail
ties and proelivities of Dr. Ames. When
the parade occurred on the stage in which
transparency lettered ''Dr. A. A. AmeS for
Mayor was displayed, the excitement and
enthusiasm was SO intense that the applause
was perfectly deafening. At the
conclusion of the play, Byron
De Wnton was introduced by George
HOrbitZ. Mr.. Dewinton first paid his COM
pliments to the audience and then men
toned DR.. Ames as one Of Gods noblemen.
This excited the most enthusiastic APP
plause. After his glowing tribute to DR..
Ames, made in general and Off-hand
way. the speaker referred to the doctors
popularity Throughout the entire Northwest.
He made succinct contrast of the two
candidates, and eXtolled the particular
virtue of the Democratic candidate,
and exposed the vacillating character of
Mr.. Pillsbury. He also referred in glowing
terms to the unimpeachable record made
by DIR. Ames during his thirty-four years
residence in Minneapolis as citizen as we'll
as an offce-holder. The doctors proverbial
generosity and good-nature were not for
gotten. and the words of eloquence poured
out to the audience were received with pro-
longed cheers at the close.

THE UNIVERSAL VICE.

10 the Editor or the Globe:
Isn't Christianity the only form Of religion
which teaches that the Incorporate use of
spirituous liquors is a sin? Please answer to
settle dispute. B.M.C.
st. Paul, March %.
No. In the Pentalogue of Buddha is the
following language: obey the law and
walk steadily in the path of purity, and
drink not liquors that intoxicate and disturb
the reason" The Khoran says: ''Oh,
true believers. surely wine and lots are an
abominatlon, snare of Satan. therefore
abominate them" Veda says: Drunk
enness is the worst of all vices, for it OBJ
scures reason, which is a divine ray from
Brahma's self" Thus it will be seen that
there is no form of religion. whether Buddh-
list, Motiammedan or Christian, that does
not regard intemperance vice.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 2S-The politicians
are beginning to talk about the successor to
Mr.. Manning, secretary of the treasury, fol
1t is conceded by the nearest friends of the
secretary that he will probably not venture
to resume the duties of the position which
he now holds. 1t is with very sincere re-
greet that the Democratic leaders hear OF
this conclusion on the part of of Mr.. Man.
ning's friends, for he has not only made
very efficient officer, but he has been
regarded as the chief political adj
wiser OF the president. One cause in
fact, of the ruin Of Mr., Manning's health
has been his close attention to the politics
of the administration. He has not only
endeavored to hasten the vast details of the
treasury department. but he has endeavored
to assist the president in solving all the
dllhcult problems in connection with the
offices in all parts of the country. The
politicians have been in the habit of going
10 Mr.. Manning before they presented the
claims of their friends to the president, and
III this way Mr.. Manning has been made
the depository of all complaints
OF all Of the factions of all of the
sections. This in addition to the response.
DilltieS OF position which are far too Oner-
Gus Tor any man, has broken him down.
One OF Mr.. Manning's nearest friends SAYS:
He IS very sensitive, and when he is con-
WINGED that his
HEALTH WILL NOT PERMIT
him to resume his work he will certainly
resign" A member of the Democratic
national committee has made this sugges-
ton as to the treasury succession: That
Secretary Whitney should be transferred to
the treasury department. that Postmaster
General Villas should be made secretary of
the navy, that Mcdonald of Indiana should
be appointed postmaster general.
'This arrangement" said he would give
New YORK the treasury department and put
1t in that position in which the president and
the party have full cOnfd ance, and it would
relieve the admin s-raton of whatever EN-
DarraSsment there may be in having two cab
met officers from New York; it would be q
coed arrangement so far as the pOstOfice de-
partment is concerned. to put popular old
Joe Mcdonald there, end it would strengthen
the administration
In addition to Mr.. Fairchild. who is quite
generally named on account of his ability.
some OF the veteran political observers here
say that the name of Mr.. Robert McLane
OF Maryland, now minister to France, will
be favOrably considered in connection with
the treasury portfolio. 1t may be doubted
whether the health of Mr.. McLane, who is
very much older than Mr.. Manning, and is
not robust. would permit him to accept the
very arduous duties, which, under the pres
ent system, are inseparably connected with
the treasury department.

they were to the bill to admit Dakota,
and Senator Voorhees, is known

But there is every reason to believe that the
senate will simply waste the time it spends
in discussing this bill, because the house is
in no mood to admit any territories. The
Democrats are not at all sure of being able
to carry Washington and Montana. and they
have utterly no chance in Dakota. and
Democratic house is therefore in no hurry
to allow these territories to come into the
Union in time to affect the election OF 1888.
