A PECULIAR CASE.
John Nichols Arrested On &
Charge of Horse Stealing.

Early last evening Patrolman Nc
Laughlin placed under arrest on Third
street south young man giving his
name as John Nichols, who was driving
horse and buggy up the street at a
rate considerably faster than that al
lowed by the city ordinance. Nichols
was taken to the central station and the
horse and buggy were placed in
Gavin's stable. Soon after it had been
taken there an employe of Phillips
stable, on Sixth avenue south, put in
an appearance, and said. that the rig be-
longed to his employer. He further
stated that it was not Nichols who had
hired it. Accordingly charge of horse
stealing was entered against Nichols.
Nichols denies that he was guilty of
any wrong-doing. He claims that he
was in restaurant with John Morse,
horse dealer, when Morse, pointing at
the horse outside, asked him if he did
not want to buy it. Nichols said he
would try the animal, and so went out
and drove around the block, thinking
that the horse and buggy really be-
longed to Morse.

THE ROCK OF AGES.
DR.. Tuttle's Farewell Sermon Pre-
vious to Departing for EurOpe.

LII. ueetS . StFcWcil SerIuOH IFC.
vious to Departing for Europe.
Rev. j. ii. Tuttle preached his fare
well sermon to large congregation at
the Grand opera yesterday morning
previous to his departure Wednesday
for Germany to spend the winter. He
took for his subject: LEAD me to
the rock that is higher than l."
A rock, he said, is suggestive of
strength, solidity and endurance. Rocks
are perhaps the oldest objects Oh the
earth. The first things created, they
are the last things to give way and per-
lSh before the wasting cOrroSion OF
time. The globe has passed through in
finite changes; is continually changing;
most of its landmarks and water marks
have shifted their localities, while some
have disappeared. Some of the lessons
of nature are indeed lessons of delay.
Its lines and aspects nowhere remain
the same for single hour. The spirit
which animates it is a restless one.
Night and day, sum:.:itr and winter,
sunshine and clouds, heat and cold,
chase eGcn others steps. That, how
ever, which seems most stable, most
like the Almighty himself in strength,
is that to which the text
iSiSlo, VIC lOCh. VIC Slcdully DClCClNC
the truth of ChriSt's saying, that "a
wise man builds his house upon rock.
We rejoice at his promise that he would
build his ''church upon rOck"-that
the gates Of help might not ''prevail
against it,"
There is then a good and philosophi
cal reason for the interest, the aesthetic
interest, which most of us have in
rocks. There is something wanting,
we instinctively feel, in any country,
any landscape especially in which
rocks are absent. We turn with strange
delight to the solitary boulder which
the glacial drifts left Oh the open
prairie. and which breaks the
painful monotony of sight. We like to
ornament our lawn. if possible, with
quiet-lying stone. How much grander
and more secure the ground under our
stone and porphyry and gneiss compose
its deep foundations. 1t is one
of the proofs of mans superior
nature and superior vesting that he
longs and prays and strives for some
thing better than himself. The word
''higher" has always and everywhere a
pleasant sound to him. He grows
weary of all low, ordinary lines of ac--
ton, and strives far a more elevated
spot where he can climb and catch a
wider, grander view.
What fact in history is more certain or
more potent than the life of Christ? L
know what discussions and specula-
lions, what unhappy and erratic at
dogmatiZing it has been the cause of;
l know how opinions of Christianity
have changed, and are still changing,
but the central ground Of it has not
changed.

HIS POSITION EXPLAINED.
A Speech Made Out in the Rain Is
Now Corrected and Revised.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Prof. Hamlin Garland, of
Boston, who is now talking free trade
in Minneapolis: Editor GIoBE-Allow
me to correct some absurd statements
made by the papers in regard to my
speech on Bridge square Saturday
evening last. The points l made were
these:
First-If the American laborer is the
best paid laborer in the world it is not
due to the tariff, but to our almost illim-
liable natural resources.
Second-The protective tariff, so far
from raising wages, has tended to de-
crease them by raising the price of COM
modities and fostering monopolies.
Third-The protective tariff has not
raised wages, for the reason that the
rate of wages is fixed by competition
for place to labor, by pressure of popu-
lation on the gates of natural oppor-
tunity, by the struggle for existence.
Fourth-The tariff has not at all les
sened this fierce and memorable strug-
gle, but has directly made it more bitter
by granting subsidies which destroyed
as many Tor more) industries as
it set up, at the same time
that it has allowed the free entrance of
competing handsand brains.
Fifth-The Americans kwages be-
Ing fixed by the struggle for
subsistence, as long as he sells
his labor in the free trade mar
ket while buying his necessaries in
protected market, the tariff is a bur
den. Its protection is a delusion. L
also answer the poser" Why is it
that men are fleeing from free trade
England to protected America? 1t
Is for the same reason that
men are fleeing from highly
protected Germany te America
simply because the pressure of popula-
ton on fences to natural opportunity is
greater where there are $50 souls to the
square mile than where there are but 10
to the square mile, etc.
1t will thus be seen that my line of
argument was not without cogency and
sincerity. do not believe in ''roasting''
any man. THE discussion must be car
ried on dispassionately, as we would
discuss it face to face in the home. Fal-
sification and recrimination will be
alike foul and futile.

Free Wool or Free Whisky,

Boston Globe.
The repeal of the wool taxes is the
backbone of the Mills bill. 1t was the
chief specific recommendation of the
presidents great message And we
have yet to see the first indication of an
inclination on the part of the Democracy
to run away from the free wool issue.
AS between free wool, as proposed by
the Democracy, and free whisky, as pro-
posed by the Republicans, there ought
not to be any question that the country
will choose free wool.
