Fort Wayne Ind Gazette:
The session OF the Legislature is more
than half through. yet no provision mas
been made looking to reduction of
the enormous state debt, caused
through Democratic Acknowledgement.
neither have any steps been taken to
stop the annual interest paid thereon,
which amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. The burden upon
the people is, however, being continu-
ally increased by adding to the army OF
employees and ofiiceholders IN the
Legislature whose most srduous duty

a morning paper yesterday, any sus-

In Northern Minnesota. But the life

lis about two weeks ago and leased a
! portion Of (. j. Benedict'S shoe store. at
24O5 Central avenue northeast. He had
but very small stock. He proposed to
do repairing. He had in his possession
about $500 worth of watches and rings
which he had taken to repair. belong

noon he complained of feeling i'll. and

and superstition to agnosticism. That
brilliant race OF poets. orators. priests
and philosophers confessed its ignor-
ance. and in its agnOSiciSm ran round
again TO superstition. To avert
plague they built an altar where
4 black sheep had lain down
IN the market place. Paul preached to
them from their own text. he declared
the oneness OF God. the dictatorship of
God. the lOrdShip Of God. the independ-
ence OF God. the immanence OF God.
ana his goodness il caring for his
creatures. As to mankind he declared
the unity OF the race, Its mission to seek
and hud God; that mankind is Gods
offspring according TO the best thoughts
or the Greek poets themselves. On the
basis Of mans relationship to God lie
argued against idOlatrY, ana on
that of ChriSt's life and res
direction he said that GOD had ap
pointed Gay IN which He would nudge
the world in righteousness. Ii was a
great sermon: Paul had marvellous tact
in meeting them on their own ground:
he sought to lead them on 10 the sub
finest heights of truth; they had come
out TO hear him as an entertainment:
they expected fun: in his teaching OF
the resurrection and the judgment he
appealed to conscience, and then these
tickle Greeks, the newsmOngers of the
Agora and OF the Areopagns, ran away.

leone down." he was, in their eyes. a
traitor VINO must be branded with the
infamy of his crime. Then and there
his removal from office was determine.
upon by men Interested hot 4 whit
in the welfare Of the city or its govern
ment beyond the point where their
purely political interests and mercenary
motives ended. Another step couIdDOwns
have taken. When Stetson's removal
WAS decided upon. there were men.
even among the Republican aldermen,
be it said. who felt keeniy the imprO-
priety. the injustice. of the action which
they had promised TO support. There
was danger that these men would, at
the last moment. tear themselves loose
from the dictates of the caucus and act
in accordance with their better iudg-
ment. All the power OF the Republican
leaders in local politics was brought to
bear upon these possible UecalcitrantS to
hold them in line and consummate the
undertakings of the caucns.
These are facts. Not conjeetures. but
facts. The men who were the deepest
IN this deal do not deny it. Not one of
them has ever had the temerity TO even
suggest that Stets0n was removed for
other than purely political and personal
reasons.
This then is the mammoth cave
which the underwriters union commit
tee has determined to explore. The
passage to the inner chambers may be
barred up. but they will be tried before
the exploring expedition is abandoned.
All this information IS in the hands of
the committee. The men who are ac-
cused of sacrificing the city's interest to
graufy political and personal spite of
the meanest order. VIII be given an Op-
portuhity to disprove the truth of the
accusations. They may refuse. 1t will
not be strange II they do refuse, the
public viii know OF it. General con-
domination car scarcely fail to follow.
