MORRILL, ON VOTING.
He Works in a Thrust at the
Grimes Gang.

He Works in a Thrust at the
Grimes Gang.
G. L. Morrill, spoke last evening at
Calvary church on "How to Vote" The
subject was not treated in partisan
manner, but from the high plane of re-
ligious principle, although Mr.. Morrill,
made covert shot at the Grimes gang.
Among other things he said:
The Bible is high as heaven and
broad as humanity. 1t is the duty of
minister to apply the teachings of
Christ and Paul to civil as we'll as
Christian life. Church and state are of
no value eXceptas they benefit mankind.
Religion and the republic are separate,
but not antagonistic. Both seek the
citizens good along ma teriai and moral
lines. Government is from God. even
when the state seems to contrayene the
rights of the individual. Tyranny is
better than anarchy. The "powers that
be'' are here ordained of God through
the free agency of our ballot.
The character of the candidate must
not be lost sight of, Independent of the
principles of the party, for what man
is soon shows itself in what he does.
Nor should the principles of the party
be lost sight of, independent of the char
acter of the candidate, for the party very
largely controls the official acts of the
nominee. Parties are only of value as
, they represent principles. If, after the
citizen has done his duty at the primar-
les, the party machine persists in print
ing the name of an unworthy nominee
on the ticket, it is the duty of the con-
,selelltiOuS voter to utter rebuke at the
polls with his ballot.
Z "My party, right or wrong" is
motto that no man accepts who is not
already i'll Office Oh wants to be. 1t is
easy to go with the crowd. We need
the virtue of personal conviction and
courage to choose the right, and cling
Ito it, ii need be. Politics IS the science
of good government. A man Shodld
vote. in the light of the Judgment day.
for men who cannot be tiattered, fright
eped, bought or argued from what is
absolutely right in all that pertaining
to ward, city, county, state and national
life. American citizens are response
BILE for the state of society and conduct
OF the government. 1t Is every mans
duty to self, man and God to go into
politics and not forget to take his re-
ligion with him.
If candidates for office realized their
moral responsibility there would be
fewer political aspirants. After you
have voted for the best man. in your
judgment. keep up your interest in pol
itics. AS your representative they will
do no better than you compel, permit
and assist them to. Our country will
only meet worldwide measure as her
citizens work and watch for purity and
principle in power. To stand aloof
from politics Is to court failure and con-
fesS guilt. Christ believed in Christian
citizenship. We cannot too soon come
to His conclusion. Trust God, but at
the same time do your duty next Tues
day at the polls and you will hasten the
coming of the millennium when the
saints shall rule the world.

POLITICAL HONESTY.
Rev. William Wilkinson Wants to
See More of 1t.

Rev. William Wilkinson returned
Saturday from New York. where he has
been filling the pulpit of Rev. Dr.. Heber
Newton for several weeks. Yesterday
he preached in st. Andrews church on
political Honesty" He said:
1.-THE pulpit should never be made a
political platform to advance mere party
power, but it is q doctrine of devils that
a minister should, In terse, strong words,
condemn the men of Sodom and the
sinners of Samaria, and never speak
about the wickedness OF the men of our
own time and nation. church or party.
In no department of life Is it more need
full today to speak for God than in the
political.
"How is it men SO often leave com.
mon honesty when they enter the po-
litical arena? 1t is sad sight to see
men who pretend to be decent stand
ing up asking for votes and tell
ing the listeners that their one
thought, concern and care is lest the
poor man shall have his wages lowered,
or be thrown out of work, and the land
become one vast waste. am sure there
is reason. in fact, for men to take hon
estly different views of public policy.
Let all who believe in high import
duties advocate them, aud vote for the
men who will impose them; but do not let
them say love for the poor workingman
is the one motive for imposing them.
because it is not the true one, or the
most potent, and never has it been as
needful as now to call halt. The
classes are being set each against the
other, statements of the widest kind
are being made, many false, no doubt;
possibly some are true. Never did
money play such a part. Never, for
good and for i'll, had wealth such power,
or was it ever used for both with such
effect. Whether or not the lead
l,ers of political parties know
it, there is widespread conviction in
the minds of men who have no end to
serve. except the good of the republic,
that the popular will is being sought to
c be set aside by the use of cash. Names
are given and sums stated as contrib
uted to certain election funds, which
alarm men who love this government.
Unless the conviction can be removed,
it does not take prophet to tell what
the end must be. This mighty people
will not consent to have the law-making
power prostituted to the servants of
cash, no matter to what party they be-
long. There must be men who see this
in the councils OF all parties. Let them
speak"

of the statements that he made
and the conclusions that he drew did
not suit the entire congregation. In
speaking Of President Hsrrison's atti-
tude toward the liquor traffic. he made
the statement that President Harrison
was moderate drinker himself, and
Immediately asked the question, Does
any ole doubt that?
Col. G.. W. johnson, clerk of the
United States senate, who was acting
as chorister and sitting in the choir loft
behind Mr.. French, at once said, II do"
Another voice came from the audience,
II do" another from the gallery, II
DON'T"
through, and then stated that he had it
on reliable authority that President Har-
riSon drinks wine at banQuets, and that
Is what he called moderate drinking.
This episode rather stirred up the
feelings of the congregation, and from
this time till the end of the sermon audi
BILE whispers were carried on in differ
ent parts of the church, and frequent
''amens" came from the Prohibitionists.
In conclusion Mr.. French said:
If any one thinks that this pulpit
is going to merely rehearse platitudes
and not draw a distinct line between
right and wrong, he had better diSbuse
his mind of that notion before coming to
church,
AS Mr.. French sat down the congre-
CATION loudly applauded.
Mr.. French's sermon was straight
denunciation of the liquor traffic. He
did not tell the people to vote against
President Harrison, but he advised them
to vote bearing in mind that the liquor
question is the one greatquestion before

A sLEUTH HOUND.
He Is First InsuIted and Then
Thrown in Jail.

He Is First InsuIted and Then
Thrown in Jail.
Edward Hamilton, little weakened
specimen of humanity, was arrested
yesterday morning by Sergeant Leon
ard and placed in a cell in the central
police station. Hamilton is a member
of the illustrious Rice detective agency.
He is q private sleuth hound. He was
standing on the corner of Washington
and Hennepin avenues, peering into the
face of every passer-by. 1t is supposed
he was looking for some desperate Grim
NAL. One man resented the sleuth
hounds curiosity, and asked him what
he was looking for. Another gentle
man replied for the detective by saying:
''He wants 10 cents. Give it to him."
Now, Sleuth Hound Hamilton is man
of honor. and naturally he grew indig-
nant at this evident insult. He demon
strated his disapproval by yelling for
the police and kicking up his heels.
Sergeant Leonard came along and ar
rested the sleuth hound instead of the
bystanders, and led him to the lookup
by the ear. When they reached lookup
alley Hamllton'S silk hat fell off, and,
sad to relate, the officer stepped upon
1t. Hamilton swore revenge, and de-
manded to know the number of Ser
geant Leonard. He said he would show
the police force of Minneapolis who and
what he was before another day had
passed. Up to date the force Is still
ignorant as to who the little detective
is, and probably will remain so.

COMMERCIAL FREE TRADE.
Rev. III. NJ. Simmons Believe in
the Doctrine

At the First Unitarian church yes
terday morning Rev. II. M. Simmons
took for his subject, Religion and
Politics." In the first half of his dis
course he argued to show that there
is a sympathy existing between all re-
liglons, ancient and modern; that there
is even unity in variety. The doctrine
of Immortality and the judgment were
taught by the Greeks, the PerSianS and
the Egyptians long before Chris
tianity or Judaism taught them.
The old religions in other
respects were briefly discussed. They
all show common aims-the welfare of
man and the worship of God. This
diversity of Ideas in religion has been
conducive to the promotion of thought.
So in politics, he satd, by the different
parties the evolution of ideas is pro-
noted. The suffrage party came into
existence because of the thought that
neither of the two great parties were
hOspitable enough to that idea. So, for
the same reason, the temperance party
was organized. The Populist party
came into being because a certain
element thought more legiSla-
poor was needed. Mr.. Simmons
tive peace and harmony of the present
campaign to the fact that several par
ties were active in this campaign. An
English philosopher said that when
there were only two religious denomi-
nations there was much bitterness, but
now with thirty there was peace.
Perhaps, however, you think [ have
no definite opinions of my own, or that
| am too cOWardly to declaIe them,"
said Mr.. Simmons. But he declared
vigorously for ultimate free trade.
Christianity recognized the whole
human race, not nations. From
humanitarian standpoint, he
thought free trade would
certainly promote the interests of the
whole race though, he would not pre-
cipitate free trade to the injury of the
nation or mems business interests.
Commerce and intercourse of nations
promoted civilization. Besides, free
intercourse of products was in accord
ance with natural law.

SHOT HIMsELF DEAD.
Despondent Over His Illness,
Frank Carlson Kills Himself.

Despondent Over His Illness,
Frank Carlson Kills Himself.
Frank Carlson, living at 252 Thir-
ieenth avenue south, committed suicide
last night by shooting himself in the
mouth. He had been sick for several
weeks, and was in a respondent mood,
especially so last night. He ate
a very light supper. and sat about
the house for several hours telling
his two children that they must be good
to their mother, and if he should die
that when they grew up they must be
sure and see that she should not want.
About 1890 he went out of the sitting
room into shed which stood back of
the house. In few moments his wife
heard pistol shot, and rushing into
the dark shed she stumbled over the
dead body of her husband. He
was dead and the blood was ooz-
ing from wound in his mouth. The
police Of the south station were notified.
and later Deputy Coroner Cary. The
doctor ordered the remains taken to
Connolly's morgue, where it now lies.
Carlson was employed by local ice
company as driver, but his illness has
prevented his doing any work for nearly
a month. Being in financial straits and
respondent, he concluded to put him
self out of the way.

MINNEAPOLIS ADJUSTMENTS

"The Ensign" opened a weeks stand
yesterday at the Bijou with a matinee
to a full house, and standing room was
sold in the evening. "The Ensign"
was first put upon the stage at this
popular-priced house by Mr.. Lifts
stock company eighteen months ago.
Since that time it has undergone many
changes. The members of the company
are now better acquainted with their
parts, and the handsome stage settings
are equal to the splendid production.
1t IS successful war drama, and deals
with the strong passion which moved
men in those stirring times. The pay
runs smoothly through the reposeful
lines of romance, and again, at
times, dashes wildly through
the rugged scenes of war
and its intense passions. The grouping
upon the stage of dress uniforms and
their accomplishments are pleasing. The
court martial scede is tfective-eQually
as much SO as the famous court martial
scene in Held by the Enemy" The
substitution Of the secretary of war for
President Lincoln in the fourth act was
doubtless done with the best of motives,
but the play thereby loses its greatest
stage effect, to those who attended its
early presentations. The climaXes are
well timed and draw equally in APP
plause from the lower house ard the
gallery. The cast is commendabIe.
Miss Carpenter, who became so favor
ably known as member of Mr.. Lifts
stock company this season, is the leading
lady of the company. Messrs. w. g.
Jones, Logan Pane, Howard Scott,
Charles Sidney, Hardy Vernon, Ben
jamen Horning, James NeIll-in fact,
the entire cast OF twenty people care
irst-class artists and take the parts
assigned them with credit.
