pie. It's a reform founded on the
eternal principles of right. It's
a reform coming in answer to the
cry that is coming up from the hum
dreds and thousands in this land
to-day for help. It's coming as a
missionary in a civilized land to
take those people by the hand and
lift them up "Jesus took him by
the hand and lifted him up It's a
reform for lifting up and protecting
the oppressed, because it's reform
of love "Thou shalt love thy neigh
bor." 80, brother man, fold to thy
heart thy brother. Where pity
dwells, the love Of God is there
to worship rightly is to love each
other; each smile a hymn, each
kindly deed prayer" "God is
love-" It's a reform of love, be-
cause it's mission is to protect the
weary toilers of this country against
the monopoly Pharaos who are per-
mitted in the name of usurpation
through combinations of trusts each
of which are allowed by legislation
10 grind the face of the poor and
rob labor of it's just reward. "Be-
hold the hire of the laborers who
have reaped down your fields which
is kept by you by fraud, crieth, and
the cries of them who have reaped
THAT is of them who have done the
work are entered into the ears of
the Lord of Sabbath" e.
It's a reform for the re-organiza-
ton of justice, on which we can
raise the standard of our christian
civilization; for, without justice,
christian civilization is dead.
The policy of political party
that infringes npon the claims OF
Justice is uncivilized, un-American,
and should be abandoned by every
patriot and friend of justice.
1t is a reform that is knocking at
the door of the moral conscience of
every preacher, every church men,
Der and every one who has spark
of sympathy or love within his
breast for those who are being re-
duced to poverty and wretchedness
by reason of corrupt, unjust legisla-
ton. 1t is not only knocking at the
conscience, but it is crying out,
"Oh ! where is the church of the
Carpenter of Nazareth 2" Is it tax
ing him by the hand and lifting him
up? Is it doing the work that its
head and King did, while here on
earth ? Are it's nearly four million
voters in the United States saying
by virtue of their votes, Violence
shall no more be heard in the land {;
wasting nor destruction within thy
borders" "Happy is the people
whose God is the Lord" It's re-

are cultivating all at once for the
soldiers. 1t is really pitiable to be-
hold those great crocodile tears
running down their faces every
time they speak Of the way the Re-
publican convention sat down on
the old soldier.
In order to check the flow of
lachrymal fluid from the optics of
these sorrowing contemporaries we
will state that only one man was
candidate before the convention who
had been soldier, and he was NOM
mated mot only by majority of
of four, as the Journal has it, but
by vote of 90 to "a, and then by
a unanimous vote. The Republican
party shows it's gratitude to the old
soldier by deeds, more than by mere
words, and the boys in blue know
their friends. -Garnett Eagle.
We can speak for only one Of the
young editors" and for that one
we will say that he has ever been a
friend of the old soldier. We have
done all we could, by word or deed,
to brighten and make more cheerful
and comfortable the declining years
of the "boys'' who fought to save
this country. We have no patience
with a lot of sniveling hypocrites
who "say and do not" who assem-
BILE in convention and pass resolu-
tions about love for the old soldier,
and then do all they can to defeat
the nomination of the old soldier
for office. True, the young ed
itor" of the AGITAToR was not
soldier, because he was too young
to be one. That is more than the
editor of the Eagle can say. But
two of the editors of this paper
were soldiers in the late war, and
they possess more patriotism in
each of their little fingers than is
contained in the whole of. Trigg's
big burly body. And now as to
those Republican nominations.
When Trigg says that there was
only one soldier candidate before
the Republican convention, he
knowingly utters falsehood. He
knows there were several soldier
candidates, and he knows that the
one soldier who did receive a nomi-
nation got there by the merest
scratch" So "the Republican
party shows it's gratitude to the old
soldier by deeds, more than by
words,' does it? How about the
disposition of the postoffices in the
Second congressional district by
Congressman Funston, and not only
in this district, but in every dis
trict in the state? And how about
the appointment of G. A. Henrie,
the "hannel-mouthed" anarchist,
who was given a position, with a
good salary, by Gov. Humphrey,
because he (Henrie) knew too much
about the Cofeyville dynamite plot?
and that, too, in the face of the
fact that there were hundreds of old
soldiers in the state who were fully
competent to fill the position. And
we could go on, and on, giving hun
dreds of cases where the old soldier

SHIFTING OF CREEDS.
Three Sermons Called Out by
Recent Religious Dis
turbances.
Rev. A. j. Graham on Brooks
and Newton and Sim
mons on Briggs.
Rev. G. L. Morrill, Makes a
Tender Fling at the
Mayor.
General Roundup Of the City
On a Dull Sum
day.

Rev. a. j. Graham, Of Holy Trinity
Episcopal church. devoted his attention
yesterday to discussion of those OBJ
perfume subjects which have of late
caused so much controversy among
churchmen, and SO much comment OH
the part of the press, the election of
Phillips Brooks to the Episcopate OF
Massachusetts, and the attitude taken
by Rev. r. Heber Newton, rector of
All Souls church, New York city. He
took up these matters, as he stated. not
to provoke or invite discussion, but for
the information Of his congregation. to
give them correct and intellectual
grasp of these matters.
The morning sermon was devoted to
the Phillips Brooks matter. On this
subject DR.. Graham spoke as follows:
"There is feeling throughout the
country among a large number of the
clergy to the effect that Phillips Brooks
is an unsafe and unfit NAH for the place
to which he has been appointed. In
the ordination service Of our prayer
priesthood, as Phillips Brooks was,
solemnly promises obedience to the
doctrines Of the church. One of the
cardinal doctrines of the church is be-
lief i'll Apostolic succession, or the
divine origin of the ministry, and the
three-fold ministry of the church dating
back to apostolic days. This doctrine
DR.. Brooks has repudiated both public
ly and privately, and it would seem.
therefore, that the only consistent course
for man to pursue when he changes
his belief would be to drop out of the
body in which he is ministering.
If< 10, of Il u;
laity of the church throughout the coun-
try it seems very inconsistent that Dr.
Brooks should be willing to enter the
episcopate of church the doctrines of
which he has so many times repudated.
or the worth of his personal christian
character too much cannot be said. He
is devoted to the cause Of Christ. but,
in the largeness of his heart, he has
lost sight of the doctrine fences which
are absolutely necessary for maintain
ing the faith"
At the evening service DR.. Graham
sized up the brilliant and eloquent, but
dependent,rector of All Souls church
in the following manner:
'The very fact that half dozen of
the most prominent clergymen of New
make inquiry into the public teachings
of Mr.. Newton is sufficient proof that
he is varying from the doctrinal stand
ards of the church. His rational
istic theology tends in the same
direction as that of Mr.. Mac
Queary, whose trial for heresy
was before the church few weeks ago
Mr.. Newton IS a scholar, thinker and
philosopher, and in that respect ranks
above Phillips Brooks and infinitely
above Mr.. Macquearey. That makes
his teachings all the more subtle and
dangerous. There can Ee no doubt but
that in his public utteranceS he has
time and again broken his ordination
VOWS by feeding his flock with teach
ing contrary to the exposition of the
Catholic creed. 1t seems to me that, to
be honest, he should put himself out
side of the church."

A SINkING HILL.
A Curious Phenomenon on the
Tuttle Farm in Bloomfield. Conn.

AuCtIo fafm In bloomfield, Conn.
jeremiah Tuttle. farmer of Bloom
field. has a hill on his big farm in that
town that is sinking into the bowels of
the earth, says Hartford, Comm cor
respondent of the New York SUI. Mr..
futile has a beautiful ifarm, most of
which is in normal condition. There
are great fertile meadows, wide reaches
OF noble forest, and here and there
spac ious pastures in which his blooded
COWS Craze on herbage that is almost
knee-deep. The queer sinking hill is
in one of the big pastures. in what
Mr.. Tuttle calls the "rock pasture"
The grass Is finer in that one than
III any other pasture in the whole re-
gion. Exactly in the center of the big
lot is hill, capaciOuS of girth, but not
more than twelve feet high. The oldest
lnhabitant of Bloomfield, who is upward
of eighty-five years old, affirms that the
hill is as familiar to him as any room in
his own home, for many Bloomfield
people have been in the habit of taking
''shOrt cut' home across Jerry's rock
pasture, and that he never noted any
thing odd about the hill until lately.
Now. since the hill is said to be sinking,
Bloomfield people avoid the rock past
ure, for they believe it is enchanted.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Tuttle sent his
hired man, Michael Flanagan, who has
worked OH the Tuttle farm for years, to
the rock pasture with the cows, and in
half an hour Michael came home hur-
riedly with startled look in his face.
When he entered the pasture, he sal d
later, he stopped in amaZement, for he
saw at glance that the hill had gone
down into the earth several inches since
his visit to the lot day or two before.
was correct one he went close to it,
sighting across It's top'' an old-time
and trustworthy landmark, and was
satisfied that it had gone down not less
than eight or ten inches. After
he had told his story, every
one, Mr.. Tuttle. too, guyed him merci-
lessly. But Michael doesn't drink, so
he took the gliding od-Daturedly, and
persisted in affirming that this state
ment was correct. His earnestness
finally impressed others. and Mr.. Tuttle
and some of the neighbOrS visited the
rock pasture with Flanagan. whose
declaration at once was seen to be true.
The hill had sunk several inches since
Michae's previous visit. Moreover, the
hill is still sinking daily. Slowly and
persiStently it is being swallowed up.
1t is now only slight undulation in the
lot, and its top but foot or two above
the rest of the land there. What is the
cause of the phenomenon no one at
tempts to explain, but the Bloomfield
people are certain that within a week
or two the hill will have entirely disap-
peared.

SAME AS MONDAY.
Adventists Didn't Rise Early to
PRAY Yesterday Morning.

While nearly all the world was bow
ing down in church yesterday, the Sev-
enth Day Adventists conducted them
selves as if it were Monday. 1t was not
the Sabbath day with them. Their Sab
bath had been observed the day before
with special religious services. Regu-
lar camp meeting business occupied
their time yesterday. They did not
hurry from their beds with the rising of
the sun for early morning prayer. They
waited until 10:30 before assembling.
AT that hour Elder w. II. Wakeman,
of Iowa, preached on Young America
What Is the Matter of Him?' Young
America received lecture because he
does not follow more closely in the foot
steps of his fathers in matters of re-
ligion. At 2:90 p. NJ. Elder S. N. Has
kell, of Boston, started the preaching
with sermon on God Is Running the
World" Elder R. c. Porter, of Mime
apo!is, followed OH Religious Liberty"
Elder Porter spoke again in the evening
on 'What will it profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own soul?''
