BLOODY TIMES AHEAD.
SO SAYS the Rev. Hugh O. Pentec0st in
Public Address.

The Rev. Hugh. o. Pentecost, who
breaches Sundays and edits the Twen-
tieth Century week days, in a recent ad-
dress read the "signs of the times" as
follows:
In the sixteenth chapter of Matthew,
the first verse, 1t is said that the Phari-
sees and Sadducees came to Jesus,
tempting him. The Pharisees. corres-
pond almost exactly to our church mem
bers, and the SAdducees to our rich men
who have thrown off religion without
putting on the practice Of justice and
fraternity. Benjamin Harrison and
John Wannamaker are typical Phari-
sees, Jay Gould and Chauncy Depew are
typical Sadducees.
The Pharisees and Sadducees asked
Jesus to show them sign from heaven.
Most men are more curious to see mir
acle than to do what is fair and honest.
The professed followers of Jesus to-day
are more interested in the miracles he is
reported to have wrought than in the
wise maxims of conduct he is said to
have uttered.
Jesus refused to work a miracle, and
what he is reported to have said to his
tempters is fair evidence that he was not
and did not pretend to be miracle
worker. What he is reported TO have
said to the Pharisees and Sadducees is
this:
When it is evening, We say: SIT will
be fair weather; for the heaven Is rcd."
And in the morning: '.It will be foul
weather to-day, for the heaven is red
and lowering" Ye know how to dis
Germ the face of the heaven, but We can
not discern the signs of the times. An
EVIL and adulterOus generation seeketh
after a sign, and there shall no sign be
given unto it,-but the sign of Jonah.
After saying this he turned on his
heel and left them, staring after him.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-11-10

was this: "YOu are an evil and adul-
ferrous generation. Your rich men are
robbers; many OF your women are de-
bauched. your poor people are slaves.
Go and read the story of Jonah's mis-
sion to Ninevah. If you mend your
ways you will escape destruction. If
you do not, your nation will be destroy
ed. You do not need sign from heav-
en-. You only need to exercise your
common sense"
The Jews did not listen to Jesus, and
their nation was overthrown. God did
not destroy it. The people, by their
great greed, their ignorance, their tyr
amy on the one hand and their submis-
sion on the other, brought it to ruin.
Thus Egypt under the Pharaoh of
Exodus was destroyed. Thus Babylon
was shattered. Thus Rome fell. Thus
the monarchy in France fOundered in
blood. Thus the plutOcratic Republic
of the United States is lettering to ruin.
All the signs of the times indicate
that before tho sun rises on the first day
of January, 1901, this nation will writhe
and groan and scream In an agonv Of
revolution; and that before five gears
have passed the streets Of our great
cities will be slippery with blOod--a
hundred drop. of blood for each gem
that fiashe. Oh the necks of the painper-
ell women of the rich; ten drops Of
blood for each tear that has washed the
face Of poverty.
What are these signs of the times?
In the south every election of impOr-
tance Is carried at the muzzle of n gun.
In the north the rich minority rule by
Doodle. In the south the rich minority
rule by buckshot. In the north the
poor are bribed to 60 to the polls and
vote for the rich. In the south the poor
are frightened away from the polls to
make room for the rich. The Repub-
iicans of the north accuse the Demo-
Gratis OF the south of intimidating the
poor. The Democrats of the south ac-
cuse the Republicans of the north OF
corrupting the poor. Both accusations
are true. Politics in this county Is so
rotten that it stinks, and the worst of iI
Ia, not that II is so. but that everybody
knows that it is 80, but almost nobody
cares. The pItIfll cry of the Democrats
after the recent election in Maine was
that they did not have money enough to
win. Everybody knows that in every
election the party that can buy the most
votes will succeed. and that whichever
of the old parties wins the money lend
ers and corporations will rule the people
for their own beiletit.
The question is sometimes raisel,
our Republican form of gov
ernment will fail. IL has failed. This
is not republic. 1t is a plutarchy. We
are ruled not from Washington but from
Wall street; not from Albany but from
the Grand Central railway station. Our

president is the creature of bank direc-
tors and protected manufacturers. He
was elected by their money; he is the
agent of their will. Our governors are
the creatures OF the railroads and coal
mines. Our government officials, from
the president to the Pinkerton detectives,
are appointed by the rich, to look after
the interests Of the rich, although they
are paid by taxes wrung from the poor.
And the hopelessncss Of the situation
is that the poor, with few exreptions,ap-
prove of it. They whine about their
poverty, they gnaw their crusts of bread
and suck the marrow out of their soup
bones, but they may always be counted
on to vote for the rich; and If a revolu-
ton were to break out tomorrow, with
the object Of getting justice done for the
poor, nine-tenths of all the poor would
shoulder muskets and lay down their
lives in defense of the right of the rich
to rob them.
Such nation as ours; a nation In
which one million plutocrats tyrannize
over sixty million sodden slaves, IL 1t ia
not overthrown by foreign foe, or
drowned in its own blood, will die of
the gangrene.
am no Jonah. / do not come to you
as a messenger from Jehovah. l only
utter the words Of plain common sense,
and each one Of you knows that what l
say is true.
Another sign of the times is this:
Laboring people can no longer hope
to get justice done them through labor
unions. 10 the clear thinker there
never was any expectation that wage
earners could get their own by merely
combining, with the object of forcing
monopdlstic employers to pay them
higher wages. This is the reason why
the politicians who, fish for the labor
vote and the editors who bid for labor
patronage contend for the right of la
boring people to organize. They know
that the union is perfectly harmless
against the power Of legal monopoly.
MOnopolists are few, wise, cunning,
and secretly and powerfully organized,
they never quarrel with each other
against their own interests Vacant
land owners, money lenders and mama
gers of corporate monopolies constitute
a more or less closely cemented con-
spiracy against honest wealth producers.
They work into each others hands, they
vote together, they chip in money to-
gether TO buy votes and lawmakers and
judges. The administration may be
Republican or Democratic. but In either
case il administers In the interest of
the banded mOnopolists. Congress or
the Legislature NAV be Republican or
Democratic, but in either case It makes
laws in the interest of the land ownres.

What was the sign Of Jonah? Jonah
is one of the most famous characters IN
fictitious literature. He is the person
who is said to have been swallowed by a
fish and to haye performed the remarka-
BILE feat of living for three days In the
creatures stomach, being afterward
thrown ont by the fish on the beach,
greatly to the relief, we may suppose,
of the fish. This episode, however,
does not. think, constitute the sign to
which Jesus referred. That sign, ]
think, is found in Jonah's subsequent
history, which is not as we'll known as
is his famous submarine experience.
Johah was a prophet. He is said to
have been sent by Jehovah to Ninevah,
a city nearly as large as New York, to
say that in forty days from the date OF
his arrival. the city, on account of its
wickedness, would be destroyed. The
king of Nlnevah became alarmed and
covered himself with eackclOth and sat
in ashes" He also commanded that
man nor beast should eat or drink; that
they, men and beasts, should be covered
with sack-cloth and should "cry might
ily unto God" and turn from their evil
ways and cease their violence toward
each other.
What wickedness the animals had
been guilty of, or how they could "cry
nightly unto Cod" or what was the
necessity for covering them with sack
cloth and compelling them to fast, do
not know. ] merely give you the story
as 1t was told in the book Of Jonah.
Neither can / understand why Jehovai,
should be pleased because the king sat
in ashes. but it appears from the story
that he WAS, and that the threatened
doom Of the city was ayerted. Let us
not miss the point of the story because
of embellishments that are to us more or
less absurd. The point of the story is that
Ninevah was city in which landlords
and money lenders and other mOnOpO-
listic robbers kept the working people
very poor and consequently very de-
graded. The king was II tyrant, the
mobiles were parasites, the women were
lewd, the poor were slaves. The natur-
al outcome of this stare of things was
that Ninevah, by internal revolutions or
external foes, was about to be destroyed.
The king was wise enough to listen to
Jonah and the other prophets, or cranks.
within his dominions and change his
course by establishing conditions from
which happy results followed.
All these details are not told in the
book of Jonah, but human nature Ia the
same In all ages and like results follow
like conditions in every time, SO that we
know what happened in Ninevah MS well
no If 1t had been told In tie language of
reason instead of in the language Of su-
perstition. 4t D.

spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees

The Republicans in Congress are
getting scared in regard to the ma
tional finances. According toclose
estimates it is proven there will be
a large deficit in the Treasury to
meet Government expenses. The
revenue to be collected by the Gov
ernment will fall short by about
$lO0,000,000 of meeting the ex-
penses Of the Government next
year. This is bad showing for
an administration that pledged
economy in the Government ex-
penses, especially as the Treasury
was in an alarming state of reple-
tion when the Harrison administra-
ton came into power.

House. To the surprise of every
body, John Sherman voted with the
Democrats in behalf Of the resolu-
ton to admit hearings of those in
terested in the tariff bill. When
Hhe bill was sent to the Senate it
was expected to be reported by
June l, and enacted into law by
July 4, but it seems now that the
bill will be thoroughly discussed in
the Senate, and is quite likely such
changes will be made in the bill
that Mckinley himself will hardly
know it when it is returned to the
House.
