SENSE OR TRADITION?

the Amusement Question.

Rev. w. III. Lhamon Touches on
the Amusement Question.
At the Church of Christ last evening
Rev. W. H. Lhamon preached on Com
mon Sense or Tradition, which,"
Touching on amusements he said:
1--WE smile at our great grandfather's
knee Dreeches and three-cornered hat,
and we pity him tor having to jog along
with an OK team or stage coach. In the
same way, we are prone to think that
his theology was too slow, and that his
morals were too rigid, and his piety too
and danced too little; and we wonder
at his keeping the old family Bible
forever on his center table, while
ours IS graced by a deck
of cards. Puritan we call
him. 'bluestocking, straightforward
With such nick-nameS for our argument
we speedily arrive at the conclusion
that we could no more be governed by
his notions of pIopriety than we could
cross the ocean in his Mayflower, or
thresh our wheat with his old fail. We
must be careful in throwing away the
traditions of the fathers, lest our boosted
progress should become veritahle Nj

dition. That would be the end
of all progress. In New York to-day
one man is being prosecuted because he
invited ministers of other folds into his
pulpit, seeing the fathers did not do
that. Another is prosecuted because he
seeks by all means from the Salvation
Army methods up to the high church
ritual to save some, the fathers not hav-
ing done it that way. Where will you
find people that does not sin more or
less in that respect? Jesus did not wash
his hands simply because tradition told
him to; nor keep aloof from pub
Iicans and sinners because custom
demanded it; nor rail against
Rome because it was the fash
ion; nor preach the old doctrine of
''an eye for an eye and tooth for a
tooth" because "they of the old time"
preached it. Let us be thankful that
Jesus was as brave as He was faithful
and that His common sense was equal
TO His courage. He was an innovator,
and for that He died. Following His
rule we will seek what helps US and
keep it; we will discover what hurts
us and avoid it. On this basis the ques-
ton of amusements must be settled.

TWENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY.
West Minneapolis Turner's Cele-
brate Their Anniversary.

w est minneapolis Turner's Cele-
brate Their Anniversary.
Turner hall, at Fifth avenue north
and Washington, resounded with gaiety
last night. The West Minneapolis
turnverein celebrated its twenty-ffth
anniversary. The hall was packed. An
excellent entertainment had been pre-
pared. First came music, without
which no German entertainment is
complete. Then there were exhibit
tions by both the ladies and the mems
classes. After that came the banquet.
Speeches of congratulation and COM
mendatiOn were made by prominent
turner's. The celebration concluded
with grand ball.
The West Minneapolis Turnverein is
not the oldest of similar organizations in
the city. 1t is old enough to have be-
come a solid institution and to have ac-
compliShed much good. Nearly all the
founders are still in the city, and are
reckoned among the solid men. During
its twenty-five years of life the society
has gathered fame as well as wealth.
Its membership includes old and young,
ladies and gentlemen, and children
numbering in the hundreds.

A BARBARIC CEREMONY.
Terrible Experience of a Young
Indian Girl.

The life of a Mission Indian Made
Is not altogether happy one, especially
if she is pretty, Judging from the fate
which befel comely daughter of the
tribe at Mesa Crane recently. A letter
received from one of the most reliable
residents of that district relates thrill
ing and barbarOuS incident. The cor
respondent says:
in the autumn after harvest is over,
the Indians hold this fearful oreie-hu-
man sacrifice. Each clan by itself, at
the burial place of its own tribe. gathers
Ill from all the country round, and pro-
ceeds to frighten away the evil spirit by
offering human sacrifice to the gods,
the sacrifice always consisting of
the most comely young maiden be-
longing to the clan. This was practiced
here recently. In this case it was a
young girl about thirteen years of age,
whose face was nearly as white as my
own, and whose long treSSeS would have
graced the head of a queen. She has
been attending school at one of the
white schools of the neighborhood for
several years, and is as we'll educated
as the average country maiden of that
age as far as school books go.
But, alas, when at home she is in
that hOtbed of vice, the Indian ranch
erie, and all the outside influence counts
for naught in counteracting the per-
niclouS influences which surround her
there. A huge fire was built, and the
usual preliminaries of grooming, chant
ing, tlat-footed stamping, and all that
sort of jugglery that is common on such
occasions was gone through with in eX-
ira fervor on this occasion, and while
this was in progress the fire had burned
down somewhat and lost its tiercest
heat.
when 1t reached this stage a huge
pile of very green brush is brought and
thrown upon the fire, making the most
binding smoke you can well imagine,
and while this is at its height the
maiden is bound, blanket is thrown
over the smouldering green brush, ami
amidst the most demOniacal cries and
shouts she is thrown thereon, and the
whole mad crowd vie with each other in
piling the brush over her. until, in this
case, it was as high and broad as a
squatter's cabin. OF course all this
brush is green, and is not calculated
really to cremate the girl. but only to
come as near to IT as they dare. The
smoke Is enough to kill any one but an
Indian, and if the pile should blaze up,
as green brush sometimes does, nothing
could save her from death. 1t was

gold-basis) to agree upon the value in
gold which would be accorded to sill
yer. and this was fixed at 154 ounces
to one of gold"
please note this was the market
value of silver as a metal with gold as
a metal. The nations did not attempt
to give any fictitious value to silver,
but only inherent value" Then he
says. Each nation agreed ito redeem
all the silver coin it had issued in gold
at the value fixed"
l never heard 1.-the nations of the
first rank" charged with idiocy be-
fore. There is no sense in the agree
ment of value, if either is to be re-
deemed in the other. Why not re-
deem gold with silverp The great
virtue (P) of using gold or silver for
money is because they have "ixity of
value" inherent in the metal and
"not dependant on law" When gold,
silver, or treasury notes are issued as
money, the only obligation the gov
eminent is under, is to see that their
legal tender functions are respected by
all of its citizens as we'll as its own
agents. He then goes on to show
that Britain has not one dollar in
silver in her reserves; but it is all
''in the IL steady, Interchangeable
basis article- gold" "Wise old
bird, the dear mother-land sits upon
her perch whi>tling away, out of all
danger from this silver trouble"
She may. in some time to come, whistle
out of the other side of her mouth.
He says it is dangerous to attempt
to fix a new value for silver, '.for it
might fall so low that rs or 80 ounces
of it would not be worth more than an
ounce of gold" He seems to forget
that such men as (Petfer, Simpson. ct
al) are now forging to the front may
conclude that it is better to put only
16a grains in the gold dollar rather
than to put GAS grains in the silver
dollar: especially since the most Sc
rious objection to the silver dollar is
its great weight and bulk. But hear
this advice to the peoples"
az free coinage of silver be serious
ly entertained avoid silver: when you
lay BY anything let it be gold. There
is no use in the poor taking any risks;
whatever happens, You can sleep
soundly upon gold"
This is very queer advice TO give
to the poor. Gas they could not get any
if they tried) if he means to do them
a favor. He knows well enough that
silver will take its old place, of 3 to 5
per cent above gold that it occupied
for 36 years before it vas deprived of
its right to free coinage. Mr.. C. is a

Third

What is. or what will it take to or
ganize a third party? Who is or who
ought to be the government? OF
course the people. If there should
be opposition to the people it is not a
political party, it is Il conspiracy for
the purpose of wronging the people,
and should not be recognized as a
political party at all. Then the people
are the first and only political party,
and should be considered so by all.
Watch our works and if we don't prove
only one party in 1892 1 am fooled,
and indications don't count for any,
thing.
Will you publish this? If so tell the
people to stand together. and fear no
noise; we are the boys. The battle
belongs to us. and when the polls are
opened in 1892 we will show a battle
line. straight and solid from Maine to
California, and from the rivers to the
ends of the earth.
Democracy is safe any time and any
where, and all who stand on the Ocala
platform stand IN pure Jeffersonian
Democracy. We the people. are the
party. There can be no honest, in
telligent opposition, no second or
third party, but one party with gam
blers, swindlers and robbers on the
opposition.

ARISTOTLE maintained that all hurry
is undignified and due to a defect of
moral character. This raises the
question whether haste and hurry
have not a direct relation to the morals
of a community. We are accustomed
to speak of the 'fast' young man, and
the .fast habits" of certain classes of
society, but the question goes deeper,
at least if we may go to the Japanese
for an opinion on the subject. The
Japanese claim that there is an init
mate connection between railroads and
immortality. Thus, for instance, the
Kokumin Shimban says: ':If we ask
the people of San-Yoido about the re-
suits of the introduction of railways in
their district they reply that the ex-
tension of the iron lines brings i'm
morality and indecent habits on the
part of the navvies, fraudulent practices
by crafty tradesmen, and examples of
extravaganza by people from the cap
ital. Everywhere these complaints
are to be heard. Everywhere people
lament the introduction of railways
from a moral point OF view"

do you know this seed?" Nelson
Ter inquired.
The gardener carefully scrutinized
che grains. Why not?" he said at
last. They are the seeds of polpus

How long will they be in coming
up?" Meissonier asked. with a chuckfe
of suppressed exultation.
"About a fortnight" was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were
again assembled at Meissonier's table,
and after dinner the gardener was an
nounced.
"Meissonier." the man said. 'the
seed has just come up."'
'Ah! you surprise me-" the artist X
claimed, as he rose and led the way
into the garden to examine the botan-
ical phenomenon.
The gardener lifted the glass shade
and disclosed to view a small bed with
three rows of picked herrings' heads
peeping out of the earth. Everybody
laughed. MISSIONER discharged the
gardener on the spot, but took him on
again the next day.
