People did not like to worship in q room
which was different from the old room.
When the pews gave way to opera chairs
and the old cathedral plan to one better
adapted to the requirements Of hearing
and seeing, there were those who said that
the church idea was being debased. 1t
was said that the planning Of churches
which give all the qualities of the inside
Of theater was altogether out of the way.
In truth, as we all know, theater is a
commercial venture; it is arranged so
that the largest number Of people can hear
and see all that goes on in front Of them.
The theater building Is arranged so as to
contain the largest possible number of
people in comfort. II they cannot see and
hear we'll, the theater Is q failure; people
will not go to it; or they buy only good
seats and leave the others vacant. People
who are interested in theaters have worked
out plans which meet all Of the objections
caused by bad or uncomfortable seats on
q commercial basis. What better is there
for the people who build churches than to
profit by the work and experimenting in
accommodating large numbers Of people
at a moderate cost. There is no occasion
for new experiments in these lines.
Here is plan Of a church, the idea of
which is taken from the parquet of a
theiser. The stage is left Off, of course,
because there is no need for it, but in the
part where the stage would be there is a
small space arranged for pulpit and choir,
and back of them, and to one side, is the
organ. The seating part of the room only
has any resemblance to the theater plan;
certainly its general appearance is differ.
ent--the wall decorations, the form Of the
room, its vestibules give it q character Of
its own.
Generally church buildings are square
on the outside because they have been
made so before. This is true even If the
circular plan of seating is adopted on the
inside. A rational development of a church
plan suggests that tho exterior conform
measurably to the internal arrangement.
In the plan given we have this, We have
a circular plan on the inside and truth
fully and naturally we show the same plan
on the outside, than which nothing can bt
more satisfactory.
Certain vestibules are needed. They are
placed where they serve their purpose best
1t is not a question as to how vestibules
have been built before, but rather as tc

THE Chicago Herald, the ablest Dem.

THE Chicago Herald, the ablest Dem
ocratic journal in the West, and paper
that Is free from man-worshiping
manias, prints an editorial on the Dem
ocratic situation in New York. The
Herald sent one of its trusted CORES
pOndents to New York to investigate
the situation there and ascertain if the
factions could be united on Cleveland,
in case of his nomination. On this
point the Herald says, editorially:
ut appears from tbei Investigation made
and the interviews reported by The Herald
correspondent that IL Is worse than idle
speculation to indulge the hope that any
contingency may arise at Chicago wherein
il will be possible to nominate Mr.. Cleve
land with the aid or the consent of the
res ular delegation from New York. The
factional condict there is irrepressible,
and the party's deliverance from its bane.
ful effects can only be secured by naming
as a candidate for President a man who
lives outside of that state"

McKINLsY's GREAT CONVERT.

Several days ago we made telegraphic
mention of the conversion of Prof.
Ten Brook of Ann Arbor, Mich, by
Gov. McKinley's great tariff speech at
the University banquet. We now get
more particulars.
Gov. Mckinley laid himself out at
Ann Arbor to prove that his great
tariff law was to make foreigners pay
our debts. Here was q confession that
squarely defeated its design. Students
and professors alike saw the real mean
ing of the point, and many the enemies
to protection that one talk begot
Prof. Ten Brook, says that though he
has heretofore voted the Republican
ticket with comfortable uniformity"
he can do 30 no longer after having
heard from Mr.. Mckinley what Re-
publicanism now means. After review
ing Mr.. McKinley's argument that by
his system we can extort our revenues
from foreigners, Prof. Ten Brook says:
"He claimed this TO be in harmony
with Republican doctrine and with true
patriotiim, whereupon / made up my
mind to be no longer either Republi-
can or a patriot. He found the proof
of the great merit of his law in the dis
satisfaction of other countries, which
he averred to be general at its collect
ing from them the means of supporting
our government instead of supporting
1t ourselves. Now, l believe that the
mass of people are honest enough to
wish to pay the expenses of their own
government. Moreover, they cannot
be without apprehension that other
nations may retaliate by adopting our
policy and making us contribute to pay
their great national debts, which would
certainly make US infinitely worse of
than If we should pay our own debts
and let them pay theirs. 1t seems to
me on the whole that IL the Democratic
party could work it in some way tc
keep the Ohio governor in the field
in defense of his pet system, the meas
ure, at whatever cost to the campaign
fund, would be judicious one. During
the delivery of the address made w
my mind that would cast no ballot
in q national election which would
make me party to the policy OF max
ing other countries support our gov
ment"
In commenting upon this remarkable
conversion of Prof. Ten Brook The
Columbus Post says:
eS, MI. mchlnley lS uOlIlB Ju'
Democratic party great good. His ad.
mission at Providence that the tariff
did not claim to raise wages, and hi
able exposition of the mutual rapin'
system, so rich in its results among the
young and perceptive minds at AM
Arbor, show him to be man emiDentl,
fitted for the Democratic stump, but 4
the Republicans care to bear his cam
paign expenses, why then, who shal
wish to forbid ?"

HARRISON WILL FlGHT.

The latest from Washington indicates
that Harrison has his back up with
bristles stid, and will fight Blaine to the
end.
The President has given out his ulti-
matum through Steve Elkins, Secretary
of War, and 1t is fight
Secretary Elkins is quoted as author
ity for the statement that even IL
Blaine comes out and says he is a
candidate, Harrison will beat him be-
cause he has the votes to do 1t with, but
other administration men admit that
IL Blaine keeps silent from this on, he
will sweep the convention away from
the President. As evidence of the des-
peration of the Harrison case 1t Is re-
ported on good authority that despite
the Presidents recent declaration that
he don't care to have his cabinet minis
ters at Minneapolis endeavoring to
control the convention, Secretary Ell
kins has determined to go to the con
vention to take charge of his chiefs
campaign.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Herald sends the following
under date Of May "a:

cabinet officers that Blaine Is out for the

tion to the charge that Blaine is

say he has been travelling all the time

| whatever in this administration except
| to prepare a nebulous scheme of recip-
rocity which would not work till the
president took hold of it and devised a
plan which brought on success, and to
i take the initial and most unfortunate
steps In the Behring Sea negotiations
This is absolutely all that Blaine has
done. They also make the serious
charge that Blaine is larely responsible
for the Waterloo the Republicans mel
in 1890, on account of his open letter tc
Senator Frye, in opposition to the
Mckinley bill, when he published 8
letter to the country saying there was
not section or line in the entire bill
that would make a market for another
bushel of wheat or another barrel o.
pork.
1t looks like fight now in tht
Minneapolis Convention, with tht
chances largely in favor of Blaine.

WE KEEP MEMORIAL DAY,

when the May has oulled her flowers for the sum
mer waiting long,
And the breath OF early roses woos the hedges into
song,
Comes the throb OF martial music and the banners
In the street.
And the marching OF the millions bearing gar

IT'S the Sabbath of the Na,lon It's the floral feast
OF May
In remembrance Of our heroes
We keep Memorial Day.
They are sleeping in the valleys they are sleeping
meath the sea,
They are sleeping by the thousands till the royal

Let us know them, let us name them, let us honor
For they loved us and they saved us, springlng at
the bugle call;
Let us sound the song and cymbal, wreathe the i'm
mortelles and bay,
In the fervor OF Thanksgiving
We keep Memorial Day
They we're sons OF strength and courage, they were
consecrate TO truth.
And their pulses were a-tngle with the ecstacy Of
youth;
And they battled for the many, and the many are
as one,
And the qulckened cords OF union clasp the earth
from sun to sun;
From the mountain OF endeayor, where the fathers
stood to pray
On the signal heights OF freedom
wekeep Memorial Day.
They have blazed the path Of glory with the clear
ing AK OF time.
In the book Of Gods remembrance they have etched
their deeds sublime,
They have wrought the manumlsslon OF country
great and free,
And the thunder OF their cannon walked the nations
yet obe;
They were picket guards Of progress; on the sklr-
mish lines they lay.
Lest our hearts forget their fealty
We keep Memorial Day.
There are monuments OF valor reared In many
stately town,
And they tell the sacred story Of peoples proud
renown;
And the names Of those who perlshed in the sway
Ing battle line
Are craven In the granite; on the mighty bronzes
shine;
Aut in tender recollection we our fragrant trl-
butes pay,
And with faith in home and country
We keep Memorial Day.
There are lilies for the yalorous and roses for the
brave,
And laurel for the victors crown and rue for lowy
grave;
There is crimson for the blood that that
dom might be free,
And golden for the hearts of gold that died for you
and me;
Till love more Is loving we lift our souls and say
For liberty and loyalty
We keep Memorial Day.

ANOTHER grand old Ohio soldier has
passed to the other shore. Gen. Ralph
p. Buckland, of Fremont, died at z
o'clock Friday evening. He was
stricken with apoplexy and died in half
an hour. Gen. Buckland won his stars
in gallant battle service during the war;
and he lived the full allotted years to
man and ten years longer. He was
born January 20, 1872. He located in
Fremont in 1887. He organized the
Seventy-second regiment, Ohio volun-
teer infantry, and made himself famous
at the battle of Shiloh, at which time he
was in command of the Fourth brigade.
For meritorious service he was pro-
NOTED to brigadier general in 1865.

UNION PoTTERs OPPOSED TO MORGAN,

The Potter's World, the official organ
of the union potters, has the following
which shows that determined fight is
being made against Morgan:
eve have no quarrel with either of
the great political parties, but we think
it behooyes the organized workmen and
their friends in the Eighteenth con-
gressional district In Ohio, (Which in
cludes East Liverpool, WellsVille and
several other smaller towns) to see to 1t
that Morgan, the Republican nominee
for Congress from that district, is laid
in his political grave. 1t is notorious
fact that he is and always has been an
enemy to organized labor.
THE election of Morgan would be a
virtual admission that 1t matters not
who is the friend of organized labor; 1t
would prove that organized labor had
lost a chance to assert itself, Now is
the chance to show that he who opposes
a betterment of the workmen must eX-
pect no tayors from them.
"We hope every potter will remember
on voting day that Morgan is the enemy
of organized labor and vote accord
ingly,"

PLAN.

how vestibules should be built to best
serve their purposes for this particular
plan. Thus 1t is that we have two which
enter the main room only, and we have
one other which goes to the Sunday school
room as we'll as to the main room. AS the
church is planned, it is only thirty feet in
diameter, and with seats arranged around
the wall will accommodate about 200 peo-

About three-fourths of the people in the
Sunday school room can see the pulpit
when the screen between them is lifted, so
that altogether this building would accom-
modate a congregation of about 275.
There is a great deal of misinformation
on the seating capacity of churches. In
every community there are large buildings
which are supposed to seat five, six or
seven hundred people, This statement is
generally made without knowing their
actual capacity. A count will generally
show that they are oyerrated from 20 to
40 per cent,
In case only 200 people are in the
church it is certainly better to fiji the
room than it would be to have hundred
Or more vacant seats. 1t is mach more
