Recently there was temple built and
dedicated at Rockford, Illinois, which
is supposed by these zeal0ts to be the
dwelling place of the Most High, and
that the heavenly -dominions extend
over all the country roundabout Rock
ford. Quite delegation went down
from st. Charles to the dedication of
the Rockford temple, and they came
back home with the spirit of the apos-
tOlic times upon them, and Immediately
set to work to convert the Southern
Minnesota Jerusalem to their faith.
The orthodox population of that lovely
hamlet resented the good offices of the
apostles of this he W faith, but not a
whit discouraged, they are still pre-
severing in their efforts to reconcile
the Gentle world to ScHwEINFURTH's
claim to Messiahship. 1t will strike
most people as strange thing that Men
dota was not selected as the site of the
New Jerusalem, instead of st. Charles,
as the former is the oldest town, and
the selection of an Illinois town as the
seat of heavenly glory can only be ac-
counted for upon the theory that the
Beekmanites wished to remove the an
cient opinion that no good could come
out of Nazareth.

The NEW SECT.

Almost every decade witnesses the
rise of some new religious sect. and al
most every generation hears the preten-
sions of some new prophet who claims
to have authority with divinity in the
government of the universe. The
southern part Of this state and a section
Of Illinois are now the scenes of the op-
erations of sect of religious enthu-
siasts who are attracting attention be-
cause Of their peculiar zeal and their
strange pretensions. Theirs is not so
much the establishment of a new sect
as the revival of an old one; but the new
disciples claim to have made so much
progress over the old followers of BECK
MAN that it may virtually be regarded as
a new sect. Their peculiar tenet is that
the millennium has dawned. that CHRIST
has come to earth again in the person of
parson GEORGE II. ScHwEINFURTH, of
Rockford, Illinois, and that he has
brought heaven along with him. The
village Of st. Charles, about twenty
eight miles west of Winona. Minnesota,
is believed by them to be the ancient
city of DAVID, and tbither the disciples
come for the purpose of preparing
themselves to re-evangeliZe the world.

WILL HE?

President HARRISON has returned to
his executive duties at the national cap
ital with the music of the centennial
bells ringing in his ears, and the memo
ries of century clustering around him.
II ever chief magistrate had inspira-
ton for patriotic work he has:
and the people of the nation
will watch with eager interest to
observe whether or not the solemn
scenes of the centennial anniversary
have i'm pressed him as they have inn
pressed the great body of the people.
If they have, his administration will re-
cover from the attitude of strict parti-
sanship which it has assumed. If he
has studied Alright the text of that con-
stit1tion whose one hundredth anniver
sary was celebrated with such magnifi-
cent pomp last Tuesday, he will have
learned that he is the president of ma
ton and not of party. If he has been
imbued with the patriotism that dlstin-
guished the illustrious WASHINGTON, he
will keep in mind the sentiment of that
famous farewell address which warned
the country against the danger of parti-
san spirit. Nor will he be unmindful of
the example set by WASHINGTON in the
matter of appointments to Office, who
selected men for their worth and special
aptitude, regardless of their party atfilia-
lions.
But it would probably be expecting
too much of human nature to suppose
that a BENJAMIN HARRISON could rise
to the plane of a GEORGE WASHINGTON.
The leopard cannot change his spots.
President HARRISON is a partisan by
nature, and could never see any good in
one who held an opposite political faith.
His political training has been in an ell
tirely different school from WASHING
TOMS. He is surrounded by entirely
different conditions froh what sur
rounded WASHINGTON when he en-
tered upon the presidency. He has an
other class of men about hin,-men who
follow politics for self-gain, and who do
not study it as a grand science, as JEFF
ERsoN and HAMILTON did. There is no
more comparison between BLAINE and
JEFFERSON, or between WINDOW and
HAMILTON, than there is between day
ana night.
And yet, with all the disadvantages
of his situation and surroundings, the
president can scarcely fail to be i'm
pressed with the teachings of this great
epoch in our national history, and if so,
he must give more conservative tinge
to his administration that it has yet as
sumed. His station, his lineage, the
memories of a century, all unite in an
appeal to him to rise above the plane of
low partisanship and to ascend into an
atmosphere of purest patriotism, such as
surrounded WASHINGTON and his cabi-
net when they undertook the responsible
task of starting the machinery of con-
stitutional government. If he needs
this appeal he will at once drive the
spoilsmen from place and power, and
fill the offices with only those who hold
country above party.

AWFULLY HUNGRY.

THE home of the president is about
the last place that one would expect to
find Republican kickers at the slowness
in paying off the party workers in
Offices. A meeting was held there the
other day and among the grievances set
forth was that, the dude element of the
party was getting the rewards while the
men who rolled up their sleeves and did
the hard work, like DUDLEY, found the
latch string pulled in when they came
around with their baskets. There was
ailusion also to the kitchen ostracism of
the woOlly headed GARRISON, which was
of course applauded. The growls of these
soreheads do not elicit public sympathy
and are only noticeable as illustrative of
the feeling quite generally prevalent
among the elements that operate the
party machine and carry the elections.
The spells element is not concerned
about civil service or business princi-
pies. They worked for the Offices and
now want them. The sorehead is
likely to become very numerous in the
party.

AN EARLY NOMINATION,

The New York Times, which now oc-
cupies the tallest and most complete
printing house in the East, and of
course has wider range Of observation,
looks upon Mr.. CLEVELAND as a very
probable man for the nomination in
1892. The World also indicates that It
may have its ill-humOr worked off by
that time. and, under certain conditions,
will give him a hearty support. But a
good deal of political history will be de-
veloped in the three years, and there
will be no lack of good material for
presidents. DEPEw neted in his CEN
tennial address that the political center
had taken long strides on the Bishop
HEBER line, and it is noted that presi-
dents have generally come from the
West for several decades past.

Department Red Tape.

Washington Post.
An eX-congressman from Pennsyl-
vania desired the appointment of a
chaplain at post where there was q
vacancy. He sent a number of COM
munications to the department. and
would receive reply to each dated
from two weeks to month after it had
been received. On Saturday he ar
rived to look after it personally. On
going to friend, member OF congress-
gress. the latter promised to write to
the department, and added his indorse-
ment.
"When do you think you will hear
from it?' inquired the ex-member.
''Oh, in about ten days." he replied.
''Not any sooner than that, when ID
wouldn't take five minutes to dictate a
reply?"
II hardly think so," replied the men,
Der with the air of man who knew.
1.-The magnificent system which they
have prevents any such reckless haste
as answering communication within
week. If you send an important mes
sage there by special messenger, you
will get an answer in about two weeks.
If you send it by riding page. without
special instructions, you will hear from
it probably within ten days. If sent by
mail, with line OF SO in the letter indi-
eating that you don't care whether you
ever get reply, it will be rushed back
at the end of q week."

Saleratas Baths.

Youths Companion.
When a patient is suffering from a
fever, and the skin is hot and dry, a sal
eratus bath is often found to give at
least temporary relief. Tie bath can
be given to the patient in the bed with
out removing the bed clothes or his own
clothing.
Have the water as hot as it can be
borne, with saleratus dissolved in it in
the proportion of perhaps half a cupful
to quart of water.
Wet sponge In this and then squeeze
it so dry that there will be no danger of
dripping. Battle the face and hands
first and dry them instantly with a soft
towel. Then, putting your own hand
and arm beneath the bed clothes, hold
them up bridge-like to keep the clothes
from the sponge. and, at the same time,
push back the night dress or undershirt
of the patient, so that with the other
hand you can pass the warm, damp
sponge over his body.
Take a limited surface each time and
dry it quickly before attempting the
nexl.. ALI this is done beneath the
bed othes so that DO air can get in to
chill the body. Push up the sleeves
so as to battle the arms In the same
way.
It is slow and careful work. but not
difficult, and the relief and comfort
afforded, even if not permanent, will
repay the effort.
. These baths may be given once day.
or IN some cases at morning and at
night.

now relating an incident which he says
interests him more than any thing else
he has witnessed la years.
On the grounds of his fine residence
here William YOumans has an artificial
trout pond. He takes great delight ia
feeding and watching the habits Of
these fish. or late he has noticed
diminutiOn from day to day in thcn
number. Investigation satisfied him
that no one had taken any trout by
theft. as powerful watchdog guarded
the premises day and night. He saw
kingfshers sailing over the pond in tha
air. but satisfied himself that they had
not deSpoiled the pond. He next
turned his attention TO two housebolG
cats, who were getting sleek and fat,
but seemed to eat much less food than
was their wont.
One day he caught one Of his cata
eaLlns trout, Dut was at loss 10 see
how the feline had captured it. This
set him to watching the cats. In day
or two be traced one of the cats to the
pond. and. hiding behind a tree, saw
the cat approach the edge of the water,
put its nose level with the surface of the
pond. and fix its gaze intently upon
some Obiect.After remaining in that posi-
ton some little time, some strange noise
near by frightened the cat away. Mr.,
YOumans rushed to the spot, and found
a goOd-sized trout, apparently disabled,
within few inches of where the cat
was crouched. He touched it with his
cane, when the fish acted as though il
had been mesmeriZed. 1t shortly came
out of its dazed condition, and swan
slowly off to the center of the pond.
Mr.. YOumans thinks there is no doubt
that the cat remained perfectly still on
the margin of the pond until it caught
the eye of the trout, and that then, as
snakes charm birds and squirrels, the
feline charmed or meSmeriZed the fish,
which approached nearer and nearef
until puss could almost grab it.
Mr. YOumans is watching for another
opportunity, hoping to follow the cat to
the end of the programme.
