The Pope's Protest.

ROME, May A.-The pope, in his al
locution at the consistory to-day, pro-
tested against Italian legislation hostile
to the charitable institutions of the
Catholic church. The proposal to erect
a monument in memoiy Of Giordane
Bruno, who was burned as a hereto at
the end of the sixteenth century, was
denounced by the pope as an outrage
upon religion. His holiness also re-
ferred to the recent Catholic congresses,
holding that these gatherings proved
that the Roman question Is an interna-
tional one.

FLAX GROWING.

The investigations that are being
pushed by the agricultural department
at Washington in regard to the advisa-
bility of encouraging linen manufactur-
ing in this country have had peculiar
value to the people of the Northwest, be-
cause of the interest this section has in
flax growing. Already this has become
an important Industry among our Min
nesota and Wisconsin farmers. Re-
peated failures of the wheat crop in the
southern part of this state, Northern
Iowa, and all sections Of Wisconsin, in
duced our farmers some time ago to
give their attention to the subjectOf
finding crop that would take the place
of wheat. Experiments made in
flax growing were SO successful
that fax has become staple crop of
this section, and consequently our farm
ers are interested in everything that
promises to Increase the value of the
crop and to increase the demand for the
raw material. The special agent sent
by the agricultural department to Dub
lin to inquire into the business of linen
manufacturing makes an encouraging
report, and there is scarcely a question
now but that the department will make
vigorous efforts to induce American cap
italists to invest their money in linen
mills. There is no reason why linen
manufacturing should not be made as
profitable here as it is in Ireland and
Germany, and the establishment of
linar p,iIlc in thia country will crrolx,
give great impetus to fax growing.

Mr.. BLAINE is quoted as regarding it

THE czar probably realizes the feeling
that it is anticipated the criminal con-
demned to death by the electrical
method in mysterious way and at an
unknown moment may experience. An
exile now in this country is authority
for the statement that another scheme
to assassihate him is matured. The
great ruler is said to look haggard and
nervous, as if in constant apprehension.
On the whole, one would as soon be
president and have all ones relatives in
office.
IT HAS been stated that the appoint
ment of brother of the president to
the marshalship in Tennessee was in
response to general demand from
there, based upon fitness. The Nash
vile American dissipates this claim,
and says he would never have had
ghost of chance upon his own merits.
He was appointed solely as brother of
the president. The American says the
others withdrew for the same reason
that man gets off the track when the
locomotive comes hustling toward him.
Even Republican papers are forced to
admit that the president may be Overdo-
ing the thing little in appointing rela-
tiyes.
a GOOD many enterprising points in
the upper Mississippi and Missouri re-
gions may see suggestion in the enter
prise shown by the board of trade at
Denison, Tex. An Investment of s1O,-
900 was made in an excursion to bring
out capitalists from New England to
enjoy pleasant tour and see the at
fractions of the country. The visitors
invested s1,o00,000 in real estate, and
provided capital for new manufactures.
1t is very attractive time for excur-
sions in the Northwest, and there is a
vast amount Of capital in the East that
could be usefully invested in the West.
A FURTHER illustration of the feeling
of the illiberal governments towards
popular rule was afforded since the
opening of the French exposition in the
absence Of all their diplomatic agents
from banquet given by the representa-
tives of the different republics taking
part. Bulgaria only had its man there.
The French republic is an eyesore to
the monarchicaI powers, and since it
has broken the record in that line in
France, the apprehension is growing
that it may keep right along as steady
thing and make the thrones totter.
JOHNNY DAVENPORT is not an cleo

Special Service at Dwight PIac
 Church Kesterday-Praise Service fl

Special Service at Dwight Place
 Church Eesterday-Pralse Service in
 the Evening.
 Rev. Dr. Twitchell, of the Dwight Place Congregational church, preached to large congregation yesterday morning. It was the
 ending of the fourth year of his connection
 with that church as its paster. He preached
 an appropriate sermon, and said that the
 congregation and pastor should at all times
 have mutual affection, mutual sympathy and
 mutual charity. The congregation should remember that it did not have an angel for a pastor, but that he was human and liable to make mistakes. Neither were members of a congregation angels, but human. He spoke of the many duties of a pastor, of the many calls he must make, and of his work in pre- pairing two sermons for each Sunday, besides trying to make the day meetings interesting. He reviewed the work that the Dwight Place church had done since he had been it's pastor. There are at present 654 members in the church.
 In the evening Dwight Place church was filled to overfowing, the occasion being the monthly praise service. Besides finely rem dered quartettes, trios and duetts, the solos by MT. George Smith, Miss Wilson and MT.
 by Miss Mansfield and Mir. Smith was re.
 markable for smoothness of style and ex-
 pression. The Parsons quartette assisted and
 sang most beautifully the twenty third psalm by Schubert. Appropriate remarks were made by the pastor, in which he feelingly mentioned the sudden death of one of his flock yesterday.

Church of she Messiah.

Yesterday morning in the Church of the Messiah, the pastor, Rev. l.. H. Squires, preached fine discourse, taking for his text Proverbs, 25,4: "Take away the dross from the silvsr and there shall come forth a ves- sel for the finer" The central thought of the discourse was that through disciplinary measures only are we developed; and what seems to be our finite perception, harsh and cruel experiences are, after all, the necessary things which bring us nearer to our heaven ly father and give us larger sympathy and broader charity for our fellow man. In the evening a remarkably able sermon was preached by NIT. Squires. His subject was: "Why people go to church." Next Wednes- day evening in the Church of the Messiah lecture room, strawberry festival and dra- matic entertainment will be given.

A SERMON OF THE TIMES.

A Powerful Discourse Ely Rev. mr.
 Chapman of the First M. E. Church
 Upon the Buslness Life of the Day,
 It's Evils and Tendencies.
 A characteristically eloquent discourse was that upon Business Life" by Rev. Dr. Melville Chapman at the First Methodist church last evening. It was one of series which Dr. Chapman IS giving upon this sub feet, and the sound observations, striking truths and valuable thoughts, which come to light at every turn and point, fascinate the thoughtful mind with 8 peculiar interest md charm. They are replete with strong' powerful imagination and 8 sound, unerring perception of the equity of things.
 There has been great change of ideals in the history of the race, said he. The old ideal was that of physical force, the prowess in war, then chivalry, then social brilliance and now we prostrate ourselves to
 an idolatry of success. We live in modern plutocracy where the man is measured by money rather than by greatness of mind or heart. It is in the large cities where the modern organism has its stronghold. We get down on our knees before this God. Success, we cry. ''Nothing succeeds like success" We admit conscience, honesty,
 humanity, but we must have success. say, you cannot afford to succeed if success means poverty of brain, mind, heart, soul. The old problem is as mighty as ever. What shall it profit man to gain the whole world and lose himself?
 We are in danger from small and narrow worldliness. We live in the atmosphere of one of the great eenters of the worlds com merce. New York is like an immense hand, whose iron fingers run out and grab the wide
 resources of the country for a hungry and
 homeless world Everything combines to
 make business life teyerish and under high pressure Men are stricken with apoplexy or burn out in quick combustion. They die to live. They say that when they have achiev- ed some degree of success, they will devote time to higher things. to pleasures, and improvement of mind. But they are surprised to find that their life is lost to pleasure. The charms do not charm. They have polished the outside of the instrument neglectipg the strings till the man is worn shell without power for melody, stringless and soulless.
 If we are to resist the msterializing ipfu- ences of our surroundings, we must enforce @ religious life. As man grows stronger on the street, let him grow stronger in God Let the heart enlarge, the horizon expand and, as he is powerful in earthly life, so will he be mighty in the eternal life to come.
