Modern Atheism

FROM the Des MONIES Iowa State Register
The most thoroughly watered intellectual
capital of our day is that which invests in cheap
theories of life, that ignores God and ridicules
the suggestions Of piety and religious faith.
Fellows who have not brains enough for any
OTHER idea turn atheist. Or, more moderately
philosophical they announce that they do not
know whether there is God or not. Some
even hint that they wish in their hearts that il
might turn out that there is a god They act
as IT, in that case, they might be willing to
contribute something to his support. 1t is a
little early for modern atheism to present a
popular philosophy of life. Already. however
that form of atheism which Lord Bacon de-
scrlbes when he says that there is no man who
thlnketh that there is no God except him To
whom it maketh that there were no
God" has come forward with its sermon
on the mount The president of the Ameri-
can Secular union, Mr.. X. G. Ingersoll, in
his annual address, not long ago translated into
common language the learned dialect of the
new schools OF atheism and chaos, that for a
time threatened to prevail in this money get
ting modern age. Standing before a we'll
dressed audience of a thousand people in the
chief center of American wealth and culture
he exhorted his hearers to ''get out of their
minds that old nonsense about mans free
moral agency" on the ground that "a man is
no more responsible for his character than for
ms height; for his acts than his dreams" II
is perfectly evident that this first effort of the
chief apostle of American atheism to construct
a working theory of worldly affairs, has been
inspired directly from Bedam The applause
OF a thousand well-dressed people at this utter
ance. as reported in the New York Sun, suggests
that the sooner the people of this country get
back to sound principles and leave off this new
patronage OF babblers and phrase-mongers. the
better. Let this age beware that il goes NOT
too far away from the landmark. set 9p from

Inaugural Muse.

Glory has many penalties. Ev-
cry club, every military company,
and every regiment that went TO
Washington to the Inauguration
was attended by band, brass or
otherwise. And every band march
ed straight to the White House
grounds and poured out one or
more tunes. Sometimes two or
three footed forth at once, different
airs, to give variety to the scene.
Now brass band walled its suffer-
ings in the pouring rain, while n
val over the way told its tortures on
the tomtom and the bass vioi, and
across by the treasury building the
itinerant Italian ground harmony
from the inwards of his pivno on
wheels. Great is music! No won

Another Salary Grab.

The pay of Congressman has
been receiving some attention at
executive sessions OF the Senate
lately, and the almost universal
sentiment among members is that
the salaries should be increased
from 5000 to $4,000. 1t is argu
ed that the statesmen are paid less
than thew would be in other walks
of life. An impecunious Senator,
and this kind il not yet entirely ex-
tinct, can not live in Washington,
they say, in keeping with his Off
cial position on 5000 a year.
Then, too, this would help the Re-
publicans To solve the problem of a
reduction Of the surplus. &C. j.
