The Vice President not having returned to

Mr.. Henderson as President pro tenn. Numer-
Gus protests from the states Of Missouri, Texas,
Virginia, Michigan, Arkansas, Wisconsin and
Dakota principally from Seventh day Baptists
and ADVENTIST were presented d, asking Congress
not 20 commit itself to any religious creed by
urging the Columbian worlds exposition to be

from Massachusetts, against the passage Of the
Chinese exclusion bill
Mr.. Butler gave notice that on Thursday Of
next week he would ask the Senate to take up
for action the bill to transfer the revenue
marine from the Treasury Departments to the
Navy Department.

precedence Of all other matters.
MIR. Coke gave notice that be would address
tho Senate very briefly tomorrow on Mr.. Nor
gan's silver resolution.
TIE CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL
The Chinese exclusion bill was then taken
up and the presiding officer put the question
on the adoption of the substitute reported BY
the committee on foreign relations. Mr.. Sber-
man gave the only affirmative vote, and, there
being no vote in the negative, the presiding
officer declared the substitute adopted.
Immediately afterward, however. Mr.. Mitch

otJR CHURCHES.

The ehurche es would be in more
prosperous and better spiritual
condition if one-half of it's members
would live up to the obligations
they take when they join. They
promise before God and man that
they will, so far as they are able,
support the cause of Christianity.
The truth is, only one-third of the
members of large congregations
pay their small assessments. This
class of pretended Christians are a
draw back to honesty, virtue and
all other higher and nobler morals,
and to do what is proper, they
should be expelled publicly for un'
faithfulness to their promises. The
excuse Of not being able, is all folly
because in both of the denomina
tions you can consult the records
and find that these persons who do
not pay are the oneswho by their de
pertinent and deeds are the pull back
to morals and Christianity. They are
no good and should be dropped
from the church roll.
The CAPITAL is anxious to see
one church that is out of debt.

Messrs. G. G. Carter, D. III. Mel

forward the most commendable
enterprise that has ever been started
in Illinois among our people. These
men are the proper persons to be

and good common sense.
The CAPITAL is non.sectarian, so
far as christianity and morality are

he will teach sinners the path of

The funeral services of Mrs. Sarah
Wright took place at the st Paups
A. M. E. church last Friday after
noon. The church was crowded
and the funeral was one of the
largest ever attended by our peo-
pie. Rev. Henderson preached the
sermon. The remains were in

Mr.. w. H. Easton of Junction
City Gallatin Co., is convert
to Republican principals, after thir
lty years travelling in the dark patti
of democracy. Mr.. Easton said te
a reporter for the CAPITAL, that he
had been democrat since 1861 and
within the last eight months he has
discovered that the lids of his eyes
lwere closed to the best interest OF
himself and his fellowmen in fol
flowing the doctrine Of the free trad,
lparty. He is an intelligent and
honest man who publicly admits hi
errors.
! Mr.. W. G. Tichner of Bushnell
is one of the gentleman who can cel
tainly enjoy life with ease and con
fort. He has good paying busi
ness, valuable property and cul
tured artistical wife. Mrs. Tichne1
is one of the best oil painters of th'

the only colored lady who has re

This lovely bud, so young, so fair,

Just came to show how sweet flower,
In paradise would bloom;
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there.

BLUFF LINE.

Gen'l Man'g H. A. Fisher of the Popn
lar Bluff R r. has added additional train
service over this line, they now have four
trains between Springfield and Alton,
two each way. This new arrangement
gives both a morning and evening con-
nection out of ST. Louis to all of their
points, and gives an additional train to
and from Alton. For picnics and excur-
sion parties for one day seeking breeze
and comfort this is one of the most de-
lightful routes in radius of 60 or 75
miles which only consumes two to three
hours before the sun beams down her in
tense heat. They have also arranged so
that excellent time can be made to their
summer resorts especially Clifton Ter
race and Piasa Bluffs. Two new and pic
tureque scenerles. Ticket Office Wa
bash depot.
