DR.. DitzIer at the Methodist Church

Our people have had the rare privi-
lege of series of sermons from DR.,
Ditzler during the past week. On
Wednesday night he discussed "Future
Punishment" Showing most con-
clusively from the laws Of nature and
the history Of the past Of man, the
eternal fitness of such a law. Draw
ing all his arguments from the Oppo-
sers Of the doctrine,
On Wednesday and Thursday nights
he contrasted the beneficial results to
man wrought by Christianity and in
fidelity. Here he found intiAelity to
have brought forth nothing to ameli-
crate mans condition under the curse
of sin. No college, no hospital, nc
law ever carried forward to successful
results under intdelity.
Saturday and Sunday he pointedly
proclaimed "Material and Intellectual
attainments not Enough for the Sta
bility of a Government" and conse.
quently the welfare of the people,
Here he drew from the records of all
the nations Of the past most startling
and unassailable proofs of his position
The last nation reviewed was our own
land. Unfolding the great increase OF
crime, he showed that not one-tenth
of the horrible crimes ever find theil
way to our newspapers.
A striking feature of the Doctors
method of meeting an adversary, is to
take the facts upon which he argued
from the opponents of his position.
: Seldom have our people had SO
fruitful thought spread before their
minds or pressed so strongly upon
their hearts.
In his review Of nations he pre-
sented one of the strongest confrma-
lions of the Bible, as when he reached
England he developed the fact that the
revolution brought on by Wesley
saved il from more terrible fate
than that of France. May our people
be warned in time. M.

sachusetts, the oldest Democrat, in
point of service, from that State, said

Carlisle was stronger in Massachusetts

Cleveland, and that his nomination
would be very satisfactory to New
England.
Representative Harris, Of Minneso-

acceptable to his State, and that he
would be preferred to any Eastern

The Social Athletic League.

Both William b. Curtis, president Of the
metropolitan division of the A. A. O., and Jas
Z. Sullivan, secretary Of the A. A. u, say that
they do not believe that the new social athletic
league will clash with the A. A. U. II cannot
see how it will clash with the A. A. e." said
Mr. Curtis, IF it adheres to the plan laid down
IN Janssen's circulars III it should give games
under any other than A A. .. rules the union
would, of course, disqualify all athletes who
competed in them. But it apparently is not
thelr intention to do this, and do not see that
to the proposed league" When asked why the
new York Athletic Club did not join it, Mr..
ourtis said: ''0ne of the propositions of this
organization is that members OF its clubs shall
nave certain visiting members privileges in
'ne otner leagues when visiting In the other
ciues. There are many members among the
clups 1t Is proposed to admit which the New
iork Athletic Club would not allow within its
ciup house. Some of the athletic members Of
o'ner Clubs are truckmen and porters for our
members, and it would be ridiculous to put
tnem upon an equal social footing"
Mr.. sullivan ridiculed the idea OF the other
organization interfering in any way with the
A A U. or causing any athletic war. He
SAID: 1t Is not of sufficient Importance for the
union to notice it vet. II it should interfere
In any way the A. A U. could quickly crush it.
among the clubs who are said to have approved
successfully established are some OF the most
influential and important ones in the country,
anu should the organization once become
nrmly established its existence would certainly
menace the A. A. U. Much dissatisfaction has
been expressed over the government Of that
union, and If any serious revolt should occur
among the A. A. U. clubs the dissatisfied Or
carnations would doubtless soon find their
way into the new league, and another athletic
war would begin.

DIR. PARkHURST SUSTAINED.
The New York Grand jury Find That tn
Police Are Corrupt.

Police Are Corrupt.
The grand jury of New York, which has been
sitting during the March term and investigat-
ing evidence presented by the Rev. DIR. Park hurs:
and his agents as to the existence OF gambling
and disorderly houses, as well as the general
violation of the excise law, without interfer-
ence by the police, brought in q presentment
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon The present
ment was made in part II Of the general sessions
court before Recorder Smyth.
1t says: Owing to the public charges against
the efficiency of the police department in sup
pressing vice and arresting law-breakers, the
grand jury has spent considerable time investi-
eating such matters. 1t is apparent to all that
gambling houses, houses of prostitution and
saloons are open in violation of the law and
that the police are fully aware of their exist
ence. Yet these places are allowed to exist in
open violation of the law. The only raids
made upon them are made by citizens.
The police rules provide that the captain OF
each precinct shall send to police headquarters
| list of the gambling and disorderly houses in
their respective precincts. Such reports are
| made, and although the law gives power to the
superintendent to issne his own warrant and
have his officers break into such places without
going to court, such proceedings are not taken.
In TACT there Is no appearance of police inter-
| ference with gambling houses houses Of prosti-
tuition or saloon keepers who violate the excise
law. From such facts the grand Jury ssy that
the best reasons for condemning the inactivity
| OF the police are presented. They are either
incompetent to do what citizens have done or
else they are open to charges of corruption.
The general efficiency of the police and their
ability to cope with crime is second to that of
no other city and therefore the grand Jury has
| no alternative but to adopt the theory of cor
ruption as the reason for their inactivity in the
| matters mentioned.
A second presentment was made, in which
the grand jury protest against the passage OF
what 10 known as the Spies bill, now before
the legislature. recommending that the police
adopt rule by which prisoner, when ar
| rested, may at once communicate with his
family or friends, and calling attention to the
publication OF advertisements under the head
OF personals in q certain morning newspaper,
The grand jury also recommend that the
| owners of houses be held responsible for the
business carried on there il il be immoral OF
Illegal, and charge that the clerk Of the Tombl
court was, in some measure responsible fol
the Information given to "Dink" Davis that !
warrant was out for = raid on his place.
Recorder Smyth said that he would call the
attention OF the proper authorities to the pre-.
| sentiments without delay.
