several seconds profound silence pre-
vailed throughout the hall. Metcalf
sent the roll of bills to the speaker and
then resumed his seat. Senator

the speaker could restore order. Finally
the motion was carried appointing a
committee of five to investigate the
charge of bribery, and the house ad-
journed. In the house tonight vote

months ago George Spaulding, saloon
keeper here, was fined $500 and costs for
a violation of the law. Up to week

of his intentions, seized the goods while

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-A vote

had several talks with Felix Adler. He
told me that the mission of the church is to
influence the heart; the work of the Eth
cal Culture Society is with the will. Re-
hgion has to do with sentiment, ethics with
conduct. Nevertheless, the time will come
when the ethical culture movement will get
back into organized religion again. 1t will
succeed in so employing conduct that the
church will learn its lessons and begin to
teach them. Professor Adler impressed me
as a man who is a good deal in the dark as to
what the church is really doing. Yet one
cannot fail to be impressed with his clear
ness of thought his intellectual and spirit
ual strength and his charm of manner.
Mr.. Sheldon, of St. Louis, ethical lecturer
in that city, spoke on the relation of the pull
pit to the labor question. He said that the
first duty of the parson is to learn, and that
after he knows the actual facts then he may
venture to preach. Which, thought, was
pretty sensible advice.
The Summer School of Applied Ethics has

A BROKEN PROMISE,

The assertion that there was pledge
Oh the part of Chicago, that all the money
necessary to put the Worlds Fair into
shape, except the appropriations fol-
Government and State exhibits, would
be furnished from that city, and that
nothing would be asked from the National
Treasury is Indignantly denied by the
Chicago Tribune. That paper quotes Mr.
Springer's speech stating that Chicago
would raise S1O,OOO,OO0, and asserts that
this is all the pledge made, and that it has
been fulfilled. 1t omits to give any
weight to the following sentence from Mr..
Sprlnger's speech, which it has the fair
ness to quote, and which, when quoted, ut
terly destroys its case:
We Will ask no money from Congress ex-
cept what will be required for the buildings
and exhibits of the Government. Five or
six Hundred thousand dollars will be ample
for this.
This is exactly the pledge referred to.
The Government has appropriated three
times the sum named as necessary for
the Government exhibit. Notwithstand-
ing this liberality Chicago is repudiating
its pledge, which was made in a dozen
other forms than that cited, to ask ''no
money from Congress Whether the re-
Quest is granted or not, it is quite plain

TNCOURAGNG IF TRUE.

In reference TO the decision that the
Tain-making experiments are to be con-
tinued. the New York Times says that
they must still, for time, be the old
question Of post hoe or pr0pter hoe. 1t
says: Everybody admits that the rains
descended and the floods came very soon
after the gas balloons and the kites with
their dynamite tails were burst il the air,
and the powerful rackarock was exploded
along the ground. But the question re-
mains whether the rainfalls were directly
due TO the explosions.
If the facts are as stated, they furnish
the best reason for continuing the expert
mentS. All attempts at experimental in
vestgation must leave to repeated trials
the question whether the first results are
merely coincidence or a consequence.
But if it be true that copious rains have
followed the first explosions the encour-
agement to go on in the hope that means
of producing rain has been discovered is
very decided. If the same result follows
half dozen explosions the conclusion that
the process is a success will be very
strongly Indicated If it follows a score
of experiments the proof will be conclu-
sive.
But does everyone admit that copious
rains followed these explosions? The let

Campbell Cannot Meet the Issues of the
Day Fairly and squarely.
San Francisco Chronicle.l
So much has been said by Democrat tic news
papers about "McKinley's attempt to dodge
the issue" in Ohio it may not be out of place
to glance at the position of Governor Camp
bell. That worthy was nominated on a free
trade, free rum and free silver platform, a
trinity of evils hard to find equalled in this
broad land. Yet he rises to declare that
''the tariff is the only issue of importance in
the Ohio campaign" The only tissue of inn
portance'' is good, coming from this alleged
statesman, whom his friends claim is worthy
of a nomination to the Presidency. 1t is of
no Importance to the country, for this view
must be taken of campaign conducted
upon national issues, whether rum is free or
its sale kept under proper restrictions OF
prohibited altogether. 1t is of no importance
and fiuctuating currency. Yet his party
thought both questions of such weight that
they made them leading features of the
platform upon which he stands. Campbell
IS bigger than his party and brushes these
questions one side and says: ."They are
trash, they are unworthy of a great mans
consideration. 1 will discuss the tariff
alone"
On the other hand, Major Mckinley
squarely meets not only the free trade, but
the free silver question and discusses them
as Gle ledulllS lsSueS lOECtO upOu Ny tHt
Democratic convention. Because he does
not confine himself entirely to the tariff the
Democratic press howls: "He lodges" Be-
cause Campbell dodges two of the questions,
shout: "Behold our fearless champion"
This is Democratic consistency. Judged by
the reports from Ohio and from the speeches
and declarations of the two candidates,
there is but one great political dodger in
OHIO and his name is Campbell. There is
consolation in the thought that there is one

ing defeat at the polls. The people will con-
slider all the questions when they vote.

This idea is not at all allayed by the
further argument of the esteemed World,
that certainty of payment will make the
owner of a plague-stricken animal the
first informer of the existence of the
disease" This very clearly implies the
idea that the owner Of the animal could
get more from the Government than from
any other. 1t contains further sugges-
.tion that in time of depression of the live
stock market the gentle granger could
make turn by injecting his herd with
some virulent epidemic and unloading the
whole lot on a benefcent and paternal
Government
In these days when it incumbent on
the Government to buy all the silver OF

OF course, the difficulty in dealing with
such cases is the doubt whether the al
