DIR. TALMAGE ON HEREsY.
An Interesting Sermon by tn
Rev Nj n Shutter

An Interesting Sermon by the
Rev. Nj. d. Shutter.
Rev. Marion ID. Shutter spoke to the
congregation of the Church Of the Re-
deemer yesterday morning at the First
Unitarian church. His subject was
"Dr. Talmage on Heresy." He said:
DR.. Talmage is name of great power
in certain directions. He has never
been accused by his bretheren of being
profound thinker, but he has brilliant
imagination, a genus for vivid descrip-
ton and remarkable gift of language.
He can take common jackdaw of an
idea and adorn it with the peacock
feathers of his vocabulary until it pre-
sents really striking appearance. His
one fatal defect is utter inability to state
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. His soaring Imagination
diSdains fact. His affiuence of speech
refuses to be bounded by eXactness of
statement. In single sermon recently
he paid his respects to the heretics, but
managed to misrepresent history,
science, criticism and doctrine. doubt
whether any other discourse in the
whole range of pulpit literature con-
tanned within the same space so large a
number of unfounded assertions and in
eXcuSable mistakes. He says that John
Milton, who was strenuous opponentof
JTinitarianism,w was orthodox from scalp
to heel" He caricatureS and mIsrepre-
Sents the scientific doctrine of elOcution
the most definite idea he has of it be-
ing that ''it is something about mon
keys" He misrepreSentS the aim and
spirit OF Biblical criticism, and predicts
that those who do not believe the Bible
infallibly inspired from lid to lid will
end in atheism. Mr.. Talmadge mex
cusably falsifies the doctrine of those
who hold to the restoration of the lost,
and says that they believe 1--WE are ali
coming out at the same destiny, without
regard to character, we are all coming
out at the shining gates" Does he not
know that the univerSalist profession
OF faith defines restoration as first of
all restoration of holiness? Does he
not know that every reputable person
of liberal views holds that the very es-
sence of salvation and blessedness is
character? Does he not know that the
liberal doctrine of retribution-a retri-
button that takes place along the lines
OF natural law-calls for "a just recon-
penSe" for every transgression? When
the effects of his punishment and the
undylng influence of Divine love will
effect the sinners reformation, the lib.
eral theolOgion does not profess to say
but he believes that sometime the last
wandering sheep will be brough back
to the fold: and when brought back.
Will be fit TO enter.

"WE ALDERMANS."
Aid. L'Herauit Figures in Street
Brawi

There was an interesting little scene
on the East side in the vicinity of the
police station early yesterday morning,
in which Aid. E. j. L'Herault played a
prominent part. 1t seems that the alder
man, who for a long time past has been
trying to have the houses of ill-fame in
the vicinity of the exposition closed,
became involved in dispute
with hack driver over mat
ters connected with the houses.
The hackman had just driven a number
of men to the house when the alderman
from the First stepped up and an
nounced that the hackman had no right
to demand fare for taking passengers to
such places. He talked in this strain
for some time, and finally the hackman
let drive his right, catching the repre-
sentative from the First ward in the
face and laying him out. AS soon
as L'Herault got on his feet he went for
the ungodly hackman, but miscalcu-
lated his man and received sound
drubbing. The police were called, but
the hackman saw them coming. and,
mounting his hack, fed. Aid. L'Her-
ault is quite badly used up, and if he
can find out who the hackman is will
have him arrested.

A SIDEW ak NUISANCE,
The City Council Fails to Back Up
Its Orders

The city council of Minneapolis is a
beauty in some respects, and the gentle
men composing it should each be given
handsome leather medal. Some
months ago resolution was introduced
and passed ordering Capt. o. G. Mer-
riman, as the owner, TO fill in and prop
erly grade a lot on the corner of Second
avenue northeast and University, which
has long been a nuisance, by reason of
being so much lower than the sur
rounding property that there was al
ways Il pool of stagnant water there,
spreading ali kinds of disease around
the neighborhood. This resolution was
passed with the provision that if Capt.
Merriman did not do the work inside of
two weeks the city would do it. and as
sess the cost against the owner. Capt
Merriman did not see fit to do the work.
nor has the city yet paid any attention
TO it: so there the nuisance stands.

ton ordering the lot filled in was passed

it does like the prowling thief in the
dark, letting no man know what's taken
from him on the Specious plea of con-
tributing to the support of the govern
ment, though its real purpose is to make
the masses contribute to the wealth of
the few and to exempt the rich from
burdens which the poor have to bear.
Its greatest modern defender, Prof.
Won Stein, of Vienna, confesses that
it means the taxation of labor and
the exemption of capital. 1t takes from
the working poor twenty times more, in
proportion, than from the milliOnaires:
it insidiously robs labor of two-thirds of
its possible savings and deprives it of
four,,fifths of its natural wages, largely
for the aggrandiZement of the favored
few, who are thus tempted, and even
encouraged, to eXpeDd large amounts of
these ill-gOtten gains in efforts to main
tain the system which brings them in
more than compound interest, as well
as enlarged powers and privileges.
BOUND HAND AND FOOT.
Who dare say that with such system
in vogue there is any hope for labor?
When monopoly processes anxiety for
the protection of labor is it not apply
ing the snares of the pickpocket, who
charmes your senses with fiattering
words to your face while his nimble
hands are deep in your pocket, fishing
self-evident that if labor were left
in the free enjoyment of it's natural
rights, and the natural reward for its
toll, it would need no such care takers
to protect it? 1t would protect itself.
Can it be said that those who are con-
stantly reducing wages, impovershing
labor, and debating laws which shall
make it more and more impossible for
it to have equality of rights in the fixing
of terms for its time and toll can he
trusted to protect it? Heaven preserve
it from such protectors. Are we not
already bound to them, hand and foot.
until we dare not even exercise the nat
ural powers the creator has given us
with the injunction to toll without their
permission; until they claim even the
right to control the prerogatives youch-
safed to US by the constitution of our
common country, and until more than
100000 of our brethren, whose aggre-
gate production would nearly eoual
one-half the total wages of all the work
erS OF the country, are deprived of the
chance to work, causing them, by the
waste of their powers, and the search
for work, to depresS our wages and
make slaves of us all?

The Workingmen's Tariff Reform as

heart of the protection or high tax in

remarkable address to the laborers of
the country, the substance of which is
given herewith:
To the Workingmen of the United
States-Greeting
After years of an almost continuous
struggle and worry, and much expendi-
ture of time and money, the contest for
the emancipation of labor seems as in
terminable as ever, and the toilers are
no better off than they were twenty
years ago-not even so we'll. With you
we have become sick and tired of this
everlasting conflict and turmoil, and
long for peace. though that peace can
only be purchased by the thorough and
complete dlsentharllment of labor-its
absolute freedom and equality to work
out its own destiny. Hence we ask you
to join us in the endeavor to ascertain
the causes which underlie, create
and foster the wrongs to
which labor is subjected. We
have, so far practically confined
our efforts to fighting the effects, and
because of this the removal of one
wrong has simply made room for an
other to grow up. We have not gone
to the root of the evils, and the result
has been that one after another the
great labor organizations have gone
down, leaving behind them the seeds of
discomfort, hard feelings and recrimi-
nations more than the hope for the
future of the great mass of toilers.
PRIME CAUSE OF LABOR TROUBLES.
We have endeavored, through organi-
zation and otherwise, to raise wages,
little dreaming that low wages were
only an effect which had its producing
cause in a system which is creating an
ever-increaSing army of idle men by
stimulating production, while 1t places
restrictions upon trade, thus prevent
ing the free exchange of our products
whereby alone they can be brought
into consumption, which is necessary
to make room for more of our products
in order to furnish us with the oppOr-
tunitieS for work. This forces men to a
sharp competition for "leave to toll" :"
and makes many good men be 'Scabs," !"
or starve. We have been taught to look
upon these men-workingmen, all of
them-as our enemies, instead of try
ing to find and remove the cause that
makes them so; thus arraying the work.
ers in deadly factional conflict for ex-
istence, causing hatred where brotherly
love should exist, creating dissensions
where unity should be, and we have
thus, unwittingly, served to strengthen
the despOilers of the people, against
whom labor should be arrayed in a
united column for the common good.
We have seen nationality pitted against
nationality. creed against creed and sec
tion against section, whilst under cover
all of this confusion monopoly has
grown apace and enlarged its powers to
rob labor.

Apron to Study for the Stage.
New York World: Here is a curious
servant girl episode that is said to have
occurred in the household of Mrs. Levi
P. Morton, the wife of the Re-
publican vice-presidential candidate.
She had in her employ young
woman who did what is vulgarly known
as the upstairs work." or, in other
words, was housemaid. This house
maid did her work neatly and with dis
patch. Her bed were always snowy
parallelOgrams, without a wrinkle: there
was never to be found, even in the
most secret corner, fragment of
neglected dust, and she never broke
ornaments. Imagine what was Mrs.
MOrton'S disgust when this rara avis
came one day to give notice that she in
tended to leave when her month was
up. ''But why do you wish to go?" in
dissatisfied in any way?" "No," said
the housemaid. "but mean to give up
housework and study for the stage.''
"Stagew gaSped Mrs. Morton, who had
only begun to recover from the shock
of seeing society women appear before
the footlights and was aghast at this
forward movement from the other end
of the social line. "What has ever put
it into your head to go on the stage?''
''Well, you see, ma'am," said the as

II don't know anything of that kind

he insisted just the same on knowing

''How did manage it? Why. Just
