|sPOINTS ABOUT PREACHERS.

=" DR.. j. A. Gordon, of Boston, will take
Mr.. Moody's place in conducting the
general conference at Northtield this
year.
The bishop of London has raised a
small tempest in small teapot by ap-
pointing diocesan iay-readers with the
right to preach in parish churches. Some
of the clergy think that the innovation
will lower the dignity of the cloth.
Chauncey &. Smith, of Hartford.
Conn.,, has been fifty years deacon OF
the First Baptist church in that city, and
the completion of the half-century was
celebrated last week by a compliment
airy reception given by the church
people.
Rev. DR.. 1. K. Funk's new cottage at
Prohibition Park. S. L., Is one of the
sights at that place. DR.. Funk has
ties as editor and proprietor Of the
Voice, to do much active temperance
work at the park this year.
DR.. Newman Hall, the great British
divine, preached his last sermon from
the text, ''God so loved the worldw
This, he told his congregation, was the
first text he ever learned, the text he
first preached from, and should now be
the last text of their pastor.
Bishop Phillips Brooks has been on a
visit TO Lord Tennyson at Breakdown,
where he was most warmly welcomed
by the laureate. The bishop, indeed,
has been, during his present visit to
England, the recipient cf unstinted hon
ors, which have been showered upon him
from all sides.
The Rev. Francis E. Clarke. D. D.,
president of the Society of Christian En-
deavOr, will leave soon for tour around
the world, sailing from San Francisco TO
Japan and thence to China, Siam, Syria,
Egypt, Spain and other inter-
esting countries. DR.. Clarke will
embody his experience in a book, with
anecdote and incident, and he will take
photographs of scenes never before re-
produced, besides collecting those of i'm
portant and interesting people and
places to serve as illustrations.

STEVENSON IN KENTUCKY.

1t seems like carrying Goals to New
castle for Mr.. STEVENSON to go a-cam-
paigning in the blue grass region.
There is a reasonable hope Of saving
Kentucky for the Democracy with the
help of orators less prominent than he
is. But in these days good speeches are
addressed to larger audiences than those
which hear them spoken. Mr.. STEVEN
SONS address at the WatterSon club was
one of this sort, and it is receiving wide
attention. The Democracy'S vice-pres-
idential candidate is an older man than
his picture represents him to be. He is
very tall, a little gaunt, and with shoul-
derS somewhat stopped. He has an in
telligent brow, strong, piercing eyes and
a generally attractive appearance, except
for his chin, which is short and suggest
i've of weakness. His chief charm is in
his pleasant, amiable personality. He
is kindly, simple-mannered. without af-
fectation, approachable. modest and
courteous. AS speaker, his matter is
better than his delivery. In a small
room, where his individuality can be
felt and appreciated by the listeners,
he is very delightful, but before
a big crowd his nervous tempera-
ment carries him away, he gesticulates
with unnecessary vigor, and his voice
becomes hoarse, Strident and unintelli-
gible because of the strain he puts upon
it. He was probably at his best at
Louisville Friday night. when sur
rounded by his friends, men who liked
him and whom he liked. He is high
type of humanity-poor in this worlds
goods, earnest and industrious, popular
with every one who meets him because
Of his goodness of heart, respected be-
cause of his ability.

TURF GAMBLING STATISTICS.

That indefatigable individual known
as the statistic fend is still at work,
and the result Of his latest labors has a
peculiar local interest just now. He
has been studying up the race horse
question i'll its gambling aspects, and
after deal of deep thinking and
mathematics he has figured it out that
S250,000,000 are annually lost in betting
on horse races. This is in this world
alone. and there's no telling to what
prodigious proportions the amount NAV
be swelled when the returns are all in
from Mars and the other planets with
which Mr.. EDISON is arranging to COM
municate.
1t must be confessed that $3.50. 100000
sounds big enough to appall even the
gamest plunger. 1t is more money than
Europe's largest standing army costs.a and
even more than the pension sharks
fitch out of Uncle Sans pocket in a
years time. But" says the turf en-
thusiast, when he has recovered his
breath, ''big as it is, the sum is well
spent in the development and improve
ment of the noblest of brute creation" j."
This argument the good church deacons
and anti-turfites take to be rather So
phistical. Their case is aptly presented
by Bishop FALLows. Of Chicago, who
says: 81 like good horse. | would
not be good preacher if l didn't. But
don't like horse that is all legs and
no body" In other words, the bishop
and his following don't believe i'll
spending $3.50, ,000,000 year in develop
ing simply the speed qualities of the
horse. 1t does seem almost extravagant,
but the patrons Of Hamline will con-
tinue during the coming week to con-
tribute their quota with the same per-
siStent alacrity which has characterized
their donations OF the two weeks past.

The La Prairie News observes that ''Knute
Nelson, who is nominated as Republican
candidate for governor of Minnesota, is that
kinti of Republican who does not believe in
the doctrines or practices of Republicanism.
The party is pretty badly scared i'll the North
west-and with good reason
Says the Red Wing Republican: "Gen.
Baker has resigned the Alliance party NOM
ination for governor. The committee ac-
cepted it. and resolved not to run any state
ticket. 1t costs $50 to each candidate, now,
end it was not worth 80 cents of any Alliance
mans money 10 know how few would vote
for him.
The Todd County Argus thinks that ''the
man who stops 10 make a comparison be-
tween Knute Nelson and l. Donnelly must
certainly choose the former. In all Donnel-
ly's career he has not accomplished anything
that is of benefit to the classes he pretends to
labor for. He is visionary aud unsound, and
his works are the same"
The St. Charles Union gives some good ad-
vice to Joel Heatwole. 1t says that, 'Whila
we trust he will be elected, now that he is
nominated, we think that he is making a
mistake III deserting his true field of labor
the newspaper profession-for that of the
uncertain and every way unsatisfactory work
of political campaigning"
The Polk County journal calls attention to
the fact that, when the st. Paul papers an
nounced that 0 70 inches Of rain had fallen
in st. Paul on the night OF the 2Gth, the Min
neapolis papers came out with the statement
that 7S-10 inches of rain had fallen in the
Flour city during the same period. AS the
most damage was done in st. Paul, itlooks as
if the. city at the head of navigation was
padding again"
Says the Murray County Pioneer: "Knute
Nelson was nominated for governor by the
Republicans last week. Bill Merriam, the
Republican party, considered him the best
drawing card left in the ranks OF the kepub-
licans of this state and so he was nominated; :;
nothing could prevent it if Merriam said so.
Nelson's nomination cuts no figure among
his countrymen in this county. Donnelly
will carry this county with big hurrah.
Nelson and the Democratic nominee may get
200 votes each This is the present outlook;
they may not get that many in November"

FORPRESIDENT

ADLAI E. STEVENSON.
LOWRY TO THE COUNCIL.

Mr.. LowRY's letter to the council OH
the street car situation is document
which one has to read through to the
end if he would fully understand its
meaning. Should he get weary and stop
at the first "fifthly," he is liable to be
deceived by the brave and prodigal gen.
erosity with which it opens. Mr.. LOWRY
begins be declaring that he is willing to
do almost anything for st. Paul which
his contract with the city requires him to-.
He goes even further than that, and reck-
lessly offers to give us nearly as good a
service as he maintains in Minneapolis.
This much is very satisfactory. No one
should ask more. Unfortunately, how
ever, MIR. LOWRY does. He draws a
long breath like the base ball player in
IA Hole in the Ground" and saws
'but." and then comes the trouble. 1t
appears that he is not proposing to
make concessions. but to effect COM
promise. He is disposed to reform, but
he wants to be paid for it. He will
bgild the lines to Lake Como and Lake
Pfalen, but-he wants to reign over
the parks at these points, not
for life. and with the right to
name his successor. but for a
modest term of fifteen years. He will
Improve the transfer system, but-he
wants the transfer system abandoned

Ing finally on these propositions. A
trade is thing which requires reflec-
tion if it is to be made wisely. Ali
that the GLOBE now has TO say is to
express the hope that we have not vet

letter does not read like an ultimatum.
We shall probably have a chance to

THE FIFTY-sECoND CONGRESS

The adjournment of congress has
called forth mile or two Of critical val
edictories from the mob Of gentlemen
who. writing for the press at small sal
aries, write with ease. They call this a
do-nothing congress, and the session a
wasted one. But, even were this true,
it would not be criticism. 1t is praise.
No delusion is more senseless than tn e
notion that a legislature which adds
many pages TO the statute books
Is on this account a fruitful one.
The ideal congress would really
be congress which undertook
no constructive work whatever, but
gave its exclusive attention to re-
pealing the foolish legislation of its
predecessors. The appropriation bills
have to be passed, but when this has
been done, in nine cases out Of ten, the
wisest thing next would be a resolution
of adjournment. The lower branch of
the Fifty-Second congress was elected,
first, to prevent the enactment of a
force bill; second, to reduce govern
mental expenditures: third, TO rectify
the evils of McKinleyism. The first
and most important purpose il achieved.
With the second it did the best
that could be done after the previous
two years carnival Of extravaganza. 1t
failed completely in the third because a
Republican senate and Republican
executive stood ready to veto all its at
tenpts at remedial legislation. Emanci-
patton will come when the Democracy
controls all departments of the central
government, thing it has not done in
n ore than quarter of a century.
