Somewhat Pessimfstic View of the Situ-
alton ON the Border.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug There is very little
doubt that if the session of Congress which has
just closed was now assembling, the first move
to be made would be the enlargement of our
army The agitation of the trouble with Mexico
during the past ten days, growing out of the inn
prisonment of editor Cutting and others, and
the outrages on American citizens generally on
the northern boundary of the republic, has pre-
cipitated q great deal of comment upon the brew
ity of our national police force. While the Texas
delegation in Congress, no doubt through de-
signs of diplomacy and propriety, fail
to look upon the difficulty with Mex
leo as being in an alarming degree
serious, tho impression prevails in diplomatic
circles and among men who know most about
the existing disputes along our Southwestern
border that there will yet be bloodshed A
number of prominent men in Congress have said
to the Journal correspondent during the past
week that they would not be surprised If the
President should reconvene Congress before the
end of this month. 1t is known that the Mexi-
can matter has been the subject Of serious dis
cussion in the last two meetings of the Cabinet
General Sheridan has talked with the President
and Cabinet officers about the capacity of our
army and about what he can do in the way OF
supporting any proclamation or demand
made by the chief executive. In
event Of fight with Mexico
there would be less time for preparation than
there would be if war was brought about with
any other country. A fusillade would instantly
spring up the border, and would demand
troops instantly. There could be no mature
preparation for war, and there could be no laws
enacted to meet the exigency. 1t would be al
most like chief of-polce ordering squads Of
men to special part of the city to quell riot
Sheridan expects to receive most assistance, in
event of an immediate disturbance, from the
State militia. A half million troops could thus
be raised. and it is altogether probable that any
disturbance with Mexico, growing out of the
pending troubles, could be settled without any
special act of Congress, and it is, therefore, not
likely that extra session will be called, even
if the present negotiations for an amicable ad-
iustment fail

Evangelism Combined with Business.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK. Aug. 7.-Evangelist Harper Kir-
win has worked his way along the length of Long
Island during the past month. and his route now
lies down the Jersey coast, stopping at all the
summer resorts. He is to-day holding forth in
grove near Stapleton, Staten Island. Kirwin
is curious revivalist He pitches small tent
as close as possible to village erects platform
IN front of it, and exhorts, in sermon and song,
to the congregations who assemble at the blow
ing of large horn twice day. His only com
panion is his wife, who serves as cook between
meetings, but these occasions sits behind
table on which are displayed for sale lot of
pamphlets and books Most of these works are
written by Kirwin and printed By him, too, for
his trade is that of a printer. His scheme
of reviyalism involves the sale of these
things. Before starting out he manufactured
supply of them in his own job-printing shop. at
Catskill N Y, and the stock is carried in the
wagon in which he travels. His method of en-
forcing the traffic is peculiar He will begin
discourse with brief statement of the gospel
doctrine of salvation and then say. my be-
loved listeners, / cannot devote more time to an
elaboration Of this point For further particu-
lars l refer you to tract, entitled, How to be
Saved which you can buy for five cents at this
table" Pretty soon he tells pathetic story of
the deathbed remorse and anguish Of terrible
sinner, bringing tears to many eyes, for he Is
good speaker; and he adds but time presses,
and l cannot delay to narrate how this poor fell
low was brought to repentance aud happy de-.
mise. The story is contained complete
in a little book, called Not too
Late l wrote it expressly as a
boon to similar sinners. You will find copies at
% cents each for sale here Later he appeals
with much oratorical force, and with tremend-
Gus growth of excitement, to those of his hear
ers who are unrepentant to como forward to the
penitential seats His style is fervid, his Ian
guage rapid, and his whole manner that of an
impassioned camp-meeting exhorter. But in
this portion of his sermon he advertises no less
than four books that can be purchased Of his
wife. One is description of hades and another
is devoted to the contrasting delights of heaven.
third sets forth the orthodox doctrines relating
to salvation. and fourth Is guide to seekers of
religion To each is given period of the most
forceful and effective speech, which stops short
of climax, with sort of continued incur
