Expressions on section of Article III.
reading as follows BY the decree Of
God some men aud angels are predestined
TO an everlasting life and others fore
ordained TO an everlasting DEATH" were re-
ceived from thirty-eight presbyterles.
Three favored omission. ten revision, nine
insertions of various kinds. and sixteen
omission of the last clause.
When CHAPTER 4 was reached a number
of scientific papers were read asking for
the elimination of this clause, stating that
the earth was created in six days. The
opinion seemed to prevail that the six days
mentioned in the Bible refer to the SIX
periods of time. and the section will pro-
badly be changed TO express that idea.

New YORK, October 9.-The Erie railroad
through President King to-day made
known its reply to the demands Of its en-
ployes made some days ago. The demands
of the men are refused. The reply says
the company is unable to advance wages
generally. 1t does not expect or desire TO
pay less wages than those paid by COM
peting roads and cannot pay higher
wages. The present rates are said TO be
higher than the average paid by the other
roads. Where they are lower the company
will readiust rates. To that part of
the demands asking tor an agreement with
respect to discharges, lay-offs and the like
the company says such matters are in the
control of the roads officers, and that the
interests of the road require that there
should be- no interference with Its dlsci-
pllne or business management.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-07-21

TIE people through the blindness of
partisanship have been drawn into what
may be termed plutOcratic Imperialism.
All three of the departments of the
the influence of comparatively few
men, as for instance, the manufacturers
of the east control tariff legislation in
their interest, Carnegie has more infiu-
ence than the thousands of men who
work for him, or the tens Of thousands
of farmers who pay the indirect tax lev
led by tariff. When railroad laws were
passed, they were so framed that rail-
roads at once became the most valuable
of property. When temperance laws
are called for, the brewers and and dis
tillers associations alone are needed. If
legislation OH finance is contemplated,
the bankers association is consulted, and
the hundreds of thousands of debtors,
scattered from Maine to California, have
not near so much influence as a few
bankers. committees are appointed TO
to investigate big steals, but it is the
thieves who do the testifying rather than
those who are stolen from. Money is
the power behind congress. Money is
the power behind the executive, and
money tinges supreme court decisions.
Why is this? 1t is because the people
are blind, not seeing their interests be-
cause of prejudice and because they can
always be depended upon to vote the
party ticket, no matter how bad the
men or how bad the measures. The
remedy, if remedy there is, lies outside
of old parties. If an infusion of pure,
fresh blood could be injected into old
party veins-but the faint of corruption
is too great to be overcome,

ONCE upon time when Hon. Zebu-
Ion B. Vance was making a political
canvass of North Carolina, he spoke in
Il country village, where young man
attempted to reply TO him. At the con-
clusivn of wild and furious flow of
backwoods eloquence, the young man
sat down, thoroughly convinced in his
own cOnceited mind that he had crushed
his opponent. Vance stepped out upon
the rostrum, opened and closed his
mouth rapidly, without uttering any
sound, and at the same time making
graceful gestures with his arms and
hands. After p couple Of minutes he
sat down, remarking as he did so that
he had replied to all the young mans
points, and if he had anything more to
say he would be glad to hear from him.
