THE AGRARIAN BILLS.

The condition OF the tenant farmer ii
to receive considerable attention in the
next session of Parliament judging from
London advices of the past week. Con.
corning this matter the following was
cabled to the American press last Thurs
day: 4
The rapid growth of the agitation
among the farming classes and their de
mands for legislation which may palliate
the depression in agriculture, has pre-
cipitated government action in this di-
rection. Among the cabinet committees
preparing measures for the next session
81 parliament, the latest appointed is
that of agraaiilian Bills. 1t is not likely
that the government policy will take
definite shape until after the national
conference on agriculture has shown
what the majority Of the farmers dele
gates are inclined to consider the best
legislative course to take. The compost
ton Of the cabinet committee, however,
shows the tendency Of the government.
n. 81. Fowler, president of the local gov
eminent board, and John Morley, chief
secretary for Ireland, are to be it's inspir-
ing forces. With them are associated,
though holding posts outside the cabi-
net, Herbert Gardner, the minister of
agriculture, and Sir Walter Foster,under
secretary Of the local government board.
Nothing can be expected from this com.
mittee which will in the least SAVIOR of
protection. Nor will they venture to
apply to English and Scotch landed in
terests the "three f's'' which will be the
war cry OF the distressed Irish tenant
farmers, combined with the exceeding
readiness of the Conservative opposition
to offer whatever inducements will bring
the farmer and agricultural labor to
their side, will compel Mr.. Gladstone
into proposing not merely q makeshift,
but some. really crucial remedies. Mr..
Morley is understood to favor the crea-
ton Of land courts in Great Britain, the
abolition Of titles, and such extension OF
the small holdings act as will make the
acquisition of land easier both to small
farming capitalists and, through state
loans, to the agricultural laborer.
The agitation already in progress
among the farming classes concerning
she agrarian bills to be submitted is inn
portant from the fact that the movement
is one of general nature, in which Eng
land and Scotland, as well as Ireland,
are deeply Interested And it will not
stop until the evils complained Of have
been wiped out Of existence. There is q
turbulent session in store for the coming
Parliament.

Already has the work begun in somt

met, though it is somewhat far-fetcheo
and undoubtedly matter in which MIR
Cleveland himself will pay proper atten'
tion to when the time comes without the
assistance of many honest but overzeal-
Gus well-wishers. In the makeup Of the
new Cabinet it is not probable that any
section will be overlooked and it is pretty
safe to say that the Northwest will be
dealt with in a generous manner. Drop
ping the matter ct section, however, there
are thousands of men in every state OF
the Union who have heard of the name
and fame of that able aud brilliant citi-
zen of Massachusetts, Hon. P. A. Collins.
He has national reputation and no man
has been more faithful to the Democratic
ersy or to it's principles than he.
Hrsght, logical and clear-headed, with
sraendid scholarly attachments, he has
hscdme noted as one Of the purest and
ablsst statesmen in the nation. His
splendid. services to'his party and to bis
county are such as to command far
more than ordinary attention, and his ap-
nointment to u cabinet position under
Mr.. Cleveland wseuld be hailed with the
utmost delight Throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Before the ides

Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, who, as
chairman Of the committee on temper
ance Of the Worlds congress auxiliary,
and who has taken great interest in every
branch of that work, has received an in
timstion that Archbishop Walsh of Dub
lin will attend the services of the auxil-
iary next summer. An invitation was
forwarded him some time ago, and it
seems almost certain now that the head
of the church in Ireland will accept.
Archbishop Walsh is great advocate Of
educational measures.

A correspondent of Chicago paper
writing from South Bend, Ind, deplores
the frequency with which representatives
of old Puritan families in New England
become converts to the Catholic Church.
In connection with that fact he mentions
that the only lneal descendant of the
Presbyterian John Knox resides at Notre
Dame, and is member of the congrega-
ton of the Holy Cross. The venerable
religious referred to has been teacher
in various Catholic schools for upword of
thirty years, thus effectively undoing his
work us a Methodist exhorter in early
manhood. Brother Philip is still hale and
hearty. He is in possession of snuff box
which belonged to his heretical ancestor.

It is fact not often commented ON in
American history that the first house
built by Columbus was Catholic
Church, substantially built of stone. It
was dedicated to divine worship on the
9Th Of July, 1894. The High Mass was
celebrated by the new vicar apostolic, as
sisted by twelve eccleeiastics. 1t was
situated in. the West Indies, in what is
known to day as the Spanish portion of
the Island of Hayti, about sixty miles
from Cape Hay ten. The town in which
it was erected was called Isabella, and
was afterward abandoned on account Of
it's unhealthy situation; but the ruins
still remain. Toward 1910 T. s.. Henne-
becker wrote about it to Washington Irv-
ing, then engaged on the life of Columbus.

Of this, and she was very kind to him.
He was moved to st. Mary's InArnary

change he amended his will, giving the
Sisters Of Mercy halt and Miss Plant halt
his little fortune. The sisters nursed him
tenderly, and when he died buried the
body in consecrated ground with proper
rites and ceremonies. Then there arose
. dispute over the viii. Mrs. Plant did
not know Of the change, and TO protect
her daughters rights employed an attor-
ney. Indications pointed to an ugly con-
test, though the amount was small, until
Mrs. Plants attorney discovered, as he
explained recently, that there was no in

One of the most notable examples Of
the constant and yet almost imperceptible
changes taking place in the heavens is to
be found in the motion of the seven
bright stars collectively known as ''the
Big Dipper.' Higgins, the noted as
tronomer, was long engaged in prov
ING that five Of these stars are moving in
one direction, while the other two are
moving in direction directly contrary.
Prof. Flammarion has reduced the Hug
gins calculations and theories to a sys-
TEN, arranging them upon charts. These
ingeniously constructed heavenly out
lines show that 100000 years ago the
Clipper" stars were arranged in the form
OF cross, and that 100000 years hence
they will have assumed the shape of an
elongated diamond, stretching out over
three or four times rs much space as
they now occupy. @.. I.

The record of the Democratic
platforms shows that the party has
been committed to protection, com.
mitted to free trade, re-committed
to protection and finally re-commit-
ted to an absolute repeal of all
protective duties. 1t shows tina;
ever since the war Democratic plat
forms have been approaching mon
closely in spirit and in letter to the
late "loved and lost" Confederate
constitution.
IL shows that the Democratic
80 ty never had principle tlat it
stuck to, never professed . faith
that in practice it has not djured
1t shows that the only cohesive
force the Democratic partyIlas ev-
er bad has been the desire of the
enjoyment of spoils and plumber
and that the only principle upon
which its various elements are
now united is a sullen resistance to
Republican advance.
The Democratic party is not
running on its record. Its plat
forms have always been made simply
to catch votes at the moment and
never in accord with any underly-
ing principles. They could not be
framed on principles, fer the De-
ocracy has no principles.
But if the Democracy winces at
having its record exposed, we can
not help it. "By their fruits We

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
NO. XXVII.
ESPECIAL INTERESTS.

SPEClAL INTERESTS.
Does protection favor especial
interests?' Is it merely a scheme
to "tax" the masses for the benefit
Of the "favored few" Is it really
a robbery of the "plain people" by
t. "monopolist manufacturers"
protected by our Tariff?
If it is, then indeed is the faith
of the Protectionist very poor one,
nor can there be the least justifica-
ton for such system of extortion.
But ask the importer, alien as he
is in his business and too often
alien, too, in citizenship-ask him,
as he laughs in his sleeve and pock-
cts the enormous profits reaped by
stimulating foreign industries and
giving employment to foreign work
ingmen, whether Protection or
Free Trade favors especial inter-
ests."
Ask the capitalists and men with
fixed incomes, interested only in
having things CHEAP" no matter
who suffers, if Free Trade favors no
especial interests
Ask the free raw material manu-
facturers, won over by selfish con-
siderations of individual advantage,
whether Protection really only helps
especial interests
Ask these men. and then COM
mend the righteous indignation with
which they all oppose Protection
for no other reason than because it
favors especial interests.
Protection is too broad, too liber-
al, too national system to favor
any special interest In the Free
Trade sense of the term. 1t pro-
tects American labor anywhere and
everywhere, on farm and field, in
forest and mine, on ship and in
factory.
But if to stimulate American in
dustry, give motive to American
enterprise, add to American wealth
and advocate American doctrines
and support for our own citizens
against the world-if that is favor
ing special interests, then, indeed,
does Protection do so.
And we glory in it.

Lutheran preachers from Cum

West Union) began the work at
Oakland. Though tine date is hard
to fix 1t must have been about 1850.
The old residents of Oakland re-
member Lutheran services of much
earlier date at the Yutzy church,
six miles south of here. 1t was no
doubt from this point the Lutheran
preacher first Came to Oak land.
Among Che earliest ministers the
following names are easily recalled
10 the memory of not few in this
and the neighboring counties;
Hays, Butler, Father G. +. Hyer,
Chnstaln Lepley, Hanes, Fink,
Jno. Forthman and Jno. ii. Cupp.
The latter two preached regularly
at Oakland before 1860.
Rev. Jno. Forthman is SAID to
have been the first ore who preached
IN the church on 5th street.
The ground upon which that
church was built is decided to Jno.

son and successors in trurst for the

wife. This deed was recorded Aug.

Mr.. BENZ. Tasker seems to have
been the moving spirit in building
the church. This is said to have
been accomplished in 1854 or '55.
Messrs Rease, Brandt, John Spiker
and George Loar are mentioned as
being on the building committee; a
Mr.. Dufford, of Piedmont, as the
carpenter.
The records are incomplete for
these nascent days and traditions
so conflicting that it is impossible
to make out faultless record.
