Money to Bribe Congress.

DENVER, Col, May 19.-An extra
ordinary story has just been sworn to
under oath by Frederick A. Lucken-
bach, resident of this city and bus
mess man well and favorably known all
over the country and in many places in
Europe. 1t is this fact alone which
told by a less well known man it would
be unworthy of belief The substance
of Mr.. Luckenbach' 5 story is as follows:
For many years he was acquainted with
Frederick Seyd, of London, England,
and had much conversation with him
since his business called him every
year to London. In 1874 at dinner
with Mr.. Seyd, conversation arose to
relative Legislative corruption. Mr..
Seyd asserting that corruption of
American congressman was unpar-
alelled. Finally being pressed to give
reasons for such an opinion he said: Il
went to America in the winter of
1928, authorized to secure, If | could,
the passage of a bill demonetizing sill
yer. 1t was to the interest of those |
represented. the governors of the Bank
of England, to have it done. | took
with me E100, 900, with instructions If
that was not sufficient TO accomplish
the object, to draw for another E100,-
900, or as much more as was necessary.
He told me, continues Mr.. Lucken-
bach, in his sworn statement, German
bankers were also interested in having
it accomplished. He said he was the
financial adviser of the bank. He con-
tinued: II saw the committees of the
House and Senate, and paid the money
and stayed in America until knew the
measure was SAFE
| asked if he would give me the
names of the members to whom he paid
the money but this he declined to do.
He said: Your people will not now

that measure, but they will in after
years. '-ttica Ecening Herald.

The Presbyterian General Assembly
takes ground as to temperance and the
liquor traffic very close to the position
occupied by the General Conference of
the Methodists They both are for to-
tai abstinence. and either directly or
inferentially for prohibition. The
Baptists are substantially in agreement
with them.
These three denominations make up
the great body Of Protestant believers
in the United States. All the others
combined are comparatively few, and
the majority of them are in sympathy
with the moral and social views and
principles of the Baptists, Methodists
and Presbyterians.
The Protestant sentiment of the coun-
try, as expressed formally and official
". is therefore in favor of total absti-
nence, with at least a strong tendency
toward prohibition of the liquor traffic.
Many individual members of even the
denominations in which this convic-
ton is strongest are undoubtedly tenn
perate drinkers, men who have no OBJ
lection to taking "a social or a convival
glass with Dr. Burrell of the Dutch
Reformed Church; but when the repre-
sentative assemblies, conferences, and
conventions meet, their practice is

condemned by the passage of such res
olutlons as those adopted by the Meth
odists and Presbyterians. The prevail
ent feeling is that safety lies only in
total abstinence.
Under such circumstances, any at
tempt to cary out the views of DR..
Rainsford of the Eplscopalians or Mr.
Elsing Of the Presbyterians, by the
establishment of saloons conducted on
Christian principles. would be sure to
cause a storm of Protestant opposition.
The assault on the present liquor is
mild as compared with the virulence of
the attack which would be made on
drinking places so sanctioned and con-
Quoted. There is no church that would
dare to carry out such proposition in
the face of the indignant and almost
universal opposition of both the relig-
ious and irreligiorls. which would be
stirred up by the attempt.
The suggestion, accordingly, need
not be discussed seriously. tis wholly
impracticable. The demand for drink
ing places is already supplied, and III
a way which is as little injurious to the
public as it is possible to make the
liquor traffic. The most serious troub-
lie with drinking, SO far as the mass of
saloon drinkers is concerned, is that il
uses up so large part of the money of
people; and that evil would not be
lessened by DR.. Rainsford's plan. If
he gave away his beer and wine, he
would encourage drinking, and there
fore he proposes to run his saloon as a
money-making enterprise. Hence they
would not diminish the wastefulness of
expenditure in drink by the poor. The
money would only go into different
till.
Besides, the people have a nicer
sense of congruity than DIR. Rainsford
They are not disposed to
mix up conviviality with religion.
They go to church for worship and for
religious instruction and elevation, not
to drink beer. The beer they prefer to
take by itself.
The rector of St. Georges is a very
man, undoubtedly, but his per-
ception of human nature seems to be
deficient. The regular saloon keepers
would have no reason to fear the com
petition of the drinking places he pro-
poses to establish Y. Sun

Harrison on the Race Question.

The anti-Chine5e bill signed by the
President on May ) last is a measure
with which the public should be better
acquainted, and to that end we will re-
view it briefly section by section from
! the official copy.
! The first and second sections make
liable to banishment any Chinese per-
son or person of Chinese descent found
| in the United States, unless such per-
sons can prove that they are lawfully
entitled" to remain in America. This
applies to persons of Chinese descent
| born in America as it does to those from
out of it.
Under the third section, arrest on
the charge of being Chinese person
or person of Chinese descent, unlaw
fully in the United States is made
prima facie evidence of guilt and is de-
clared sufficient for conviction, unless
the person arrested can rebut' the pre-
sumption.
Under the fourth section all Chinese
persons or persons of Chinese descent
thus convicted by their arrest and fail
ure to rebut it as. evidence of their guilt
..shall be imprisoned at hard labor for
a period not exceeding one year" and
then banished from the country.
Under the fifth section bail is pro-
hibited for Cinnamon seeking relief
from Imprisonment through writ of
habeas corpus.
Under the sixth section Cinnamon
must apply for registration and "a GER
tifcate of residence or license from the
Collector of Internal Revenue in the
district in which they reside. Failing
in this, they become liable to arrest
after May ), 1892. and if one of them
when arrested cannot show by ''at least
one credible, white witness that his
failure to register for license was una
voidable, he is to be banished.
Licensed Cinnamon who have lost their
license are also to be ba nished unless
they can prove that they have been
licensed In that case another license
is issued to them on payment OF the
costs attending their arrest. imprison-
ment and trial.
The seventh and eighth sections auth |
orize the Secretary of the Treasury to i
make rules and regulations for more |
efficiently imprisoning and banishing |
Cinnamon. and fix the penalty for alt |
ering names in the permits at 81, 900 |
fine or five years Imprisonment.
The ninth section gives Collectors of
Revenue fees in addition to |
their salaries now allowed by law.
The extraordinary features of the |
act are the compulsory construction of
the fact of arrest as sufficient evidence |
of guilt unless it is sufficiently rebut- |
ted; the refusal to accept the testimony |
of the accused supported by Chinese or
negro testimony Us sufficient for rebut-

Wolsey's Household.

In Cardinal Wolsey's palace no less than
ESQ beds were provided for strangers, with
superb canopies and curtains of silk or
velvet There were bedsteads of alabaster,
quilts of down and pillowcases embroid-
cred with silk and gold. The chairs Of
state were covered with cloth of gold; tho
tables and cabinets were Of the most costly
woods. Much of the splendid furniture
was emblazoned with my lords arms"
everywhere was impressed the cardinals
hat. The same magniflcence appeared in
the decorations and ornaments Of the
chapel. But the forty-four gorgeous copes
Of one suit, and the rest Of the sacerdotal
pomp displayed there. were eclipsed by the
majesty of Wolsey's secular equipment
The annual expenses of his household ex
ceeded 930, 0OO-an immense sum for those
days. His retinue of 500 persons. his kingly
stud, his sumptuous open table are men
toned in every history. When he rode to
and from Westminster in his character OF
lord chancellor, his mule was attended by
q long train of mobiles and knights on horse
back; his pursuivant, ushers and other
officers led the way in rich liveries, while
footmen with gilded poleaxes brought up

Places of Refuge.

AS Wazan is city of refuge for the out

enemy have been known to spend months
and even a year in the holy precincts with
on: once issuing forth. The great mosque
Of Muley Abdullah Shereef, with its courts
and arcades, affords shelter for any num-
Der of these refugees, and at the present
moment no incOnsiderable quantity are
housed there. Their food is brought to
them by their relatives or friends, if they
have any, and if not they either send and
buy, or, if moneyless, exist on the charity
of those who pray in the mosques.-Black

Under Pressure.

Yeast placed in a saccharine solution at
ordinary pressure gives rise to the well
known evinous fermentation Under q
pressures of 600 atmospheres, however, this
did not occur, the yeast falling to the bot
tom of che liquid, while the solution OF
sugar was unchanged. After removing
the pressure the yeast remained inactive
for some time and then resuming it's &C
tivity set up fermentation in the ordinary
way and carried it on to completion. In q
second experiment yeast was put into pure
water and left for an hour under a pressure
of 900 atm ospheres.
1t was tt en- transferred to q solution of
sugar at the normal pressure, and after
passing through a period of quiescence
again became active, and appeared to have
lost none ~ its power an organized fer
ment. From these experiments Professor
Regnaud concludes that the effect Of high
pressure upon the yeast cells for the time
during which the experiments lasted
merely induced the latent condition. and
was otherwise harmless. Whether moro
prolonged exposure would ultimately in
fure the cells the author does not appear
to have determined, though tho point is an
important one.
Anxious, however, to obtain q further in
sight into the phenomena, he constructed
an instrument for registering the ferment-
alive activity of the yeast before and after
the application Of high pressures, and was
enabled to obtain graphic representation
of the process under normal and various
abnormal conditions. Similar experiments
were made with unorganized ferments,
various digestive fluids and the number OF
putrescible substances, and in each case it
was found that high pressures completely
arrested the processes which are normally
set up.-Westminster Review.
