RELIGIOUS BILLS IN CONGRESS.

DR.. Schnnfnrbcr Says They Endnngcr the
Government-More Libcrty uud Less Law
Wanted. ~ ..s-
Baltimore, Nd, March 3.-Rev. DR..
Tobias schaniarber lectured Yesterday at
the Har Sinair Temple on the "Rel,gious
Movements of Congress" He said that
the introduction Of bills iavoring of re.
ligion will shake the very foundations
OF our government and work the estab.
lishment of anarchy. These legislators
forget, in their zeal for their religion,
that they are endangering the existence
Of q grand structure. The standards Of
their religion are apostolic full OF
darkness and gloom. Where its pre-.
ccpts are not strong enough to REQUIRE
adherence, they would call in the strong
arm Of government for their heavenly
work. Not by all the Blair Sunday rest
and educational bills that were ever de-
yised will condition OF affairs be in
stituted to the credit Of government
and mankind-not by Joining our. free
public schools to the church OF non
scctarian Christianity will the milen.
mum be brought about. Force is poor
weapon; we have enough law-we want
more liberty. Chain the mind OF n free
thinking man and it will soon break
through and hurt the tyrants.

Election Case In tho House.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March s.-Mr
Houk, Of Tennessee, called up the con
tested election case OF Featherstone vs.
Cate in the House to-day.
Mr.. Outhwaite, Of Ohio, In advocating
tho case of the coutestee, exhibited what
is known as the double action
ballot box, x,which The Republicans assert
were used In twenty-one precincts, and
which enabled the precinct judges to casl
aside the vote OF any person they might
see fit. He showed the manipulation by
which such judges could deceive the
voter and lead him to bslieys that bis
ballot has been properly deposited. ,,
He quoted from the returns OF the pre.
cints where, it is alleged, these boxes
were used, in order to show that the vote
for Featherstone far exceeded that for
Gate; aud he further asserted that there
was not a particle OF evidence in the case
to show that such box as he now pre-.
sented was used in the election. The
ballot box had been brought into the case
by the attorney for the contestant, but
nobody had told where it had come
from. Pending further debate the
House adjourned. -

o'clock to arrangea a table OF dates for the

the committee thought it best
not : to make anything public

how many clubs shall constitute the

offer was generally laughed at whenever
the subject was mentioned. The pre-
vailing opinion seemed to be that the
whole thing was a bluff. ..-
Secretary Brunnell's communication
was shown President Young, who smiled
as he said: "His proposition to the effect
that the National League adopt resolu.
tion allowing its clubs to play with those
OF the Brotherhood could not be &C.
cepted because it would be violation oi
the National agreement, and I do
not think the National League would be
party to any violation of it.. His
proposition that the 'Un-American res.
olution' which boycotts all clubs playing
against those OF the Brotherhood be re-
pealed will not be accepted either. Such
thing would be impossible, for that
is one OF the fundamental principles OF
the National agreement. The League
could not repeal that resolution without
the consent OF the American Associa.

agreement" .5,,s......s- -,.7-.-.--
