BENJAMIN HARRISON.
A Non-Partisan Tribute to the Re-
publican President.

publican President.
THE Independent Religious Weekly
Benjamin Harrison has now
been President for nearly three
years, and while it is too soon to
pronounce judgment upon his ad-
ministration-which, however, is
universally regarded as an able
one-it is not too soon to form an
estimate of his personal character
as exhibited in his public action.
There is, perhaps, no position in
the world in which mans charac-
ter is tested as it is in that of the
| President of this great Republic.
The labors of the office are very
severe, the trials and perplexities
unlimited, the pitfalls countless
and the temptations many and
strong. He is subjected to the
most remorseless criticism; every
act he performs, every request he
denies, every favor he grants, every
word he utters, is weighed and
judged: and he is held strictly re.
sponsible for the remote conse-
quences of both his acts and his re-
fusal to act.
President Harrison is very for
tunate in his equipment for this
high office. lie possesses a strong
physique, is compactly built, has a
vigorous appetite, good digestion,
full sleeping capacity, an even tenn
per, and the power of long sus-
tanned labor. lie loves work, and
takes keen delight in the severest
mental effort.
A college graduate, a trained
lawyer, and yet acquainted with
adversely; soldier with a practi-
cal knowledge of campaign and
battles; a local politician of the
better sort; for six years United
States Senator, with a wide &C
quaintance with the ablest men of
his day; a careful student of history
and of contemporaneous political
movements; an Independent think
er, and a close observer of men and
methods, he came to the Presidency
in the prime of life, fully cogni-
zant of the exalted dignity of the
position and filled with an ambition
to meet worthily all proper de-
mands that it might make upon
him.
A Christian without bigotry; a
patriot without sectionalism;
statesman without narrowness; a
politician without bitterness;
soldier without vanity; a popular
leader without vulgarity, he stands
before the country to-day typical
American, honest without can't
tender hearted without gush. He
appreciates the good, the true, the
beautiful; sympathizes with the
poor, the ignorant and unfortu-
nate, and condemns all that is low,
mean, or evil.

THE GOLD BALANCE.

Secretary Foster Confident the Treasury
VIII Recoup the Amount Surrendered
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 20.-lnfor-
nation received at the treasury depart
ment today is to the effect that the finan-
cial furry in New York is practical y
over for the present and there are nc
longer any prospects OF a panic. About
s., 600, 600 in gold was taken from the
treasury this weak and about 81 800. O0O
more viii probably be taken before the
week is ended Secretary Foster is con
fident it will soon be returned through
the regular channels OF trade.
Secretary Foster makes no secret of his
purpose of repairing as far as possible
within legitimate bounds the serious in
roads on gold holdings resulting from
recent heavy shipments to Europe. To
that end he has renewed the policy so
successfully employed by him at earlier
periods of his administration when the
gold balance of the treasury was similarly
menaced by foreign influence.
This policy in brief is to disburse cur
rency of any character and denomination
desired at any point in the United States
when it may be needed in exchange for
gold deposited In am sub-treasury, ex-
cept that at San Francisco g person pur-
chasing currency is given the benefit OF

FIVE DBSPIRAD0ES KILLED.
A Desperate Battle Between Of
flcers and Cattle Thieves.
BOTH SIDES WE'LL ARMED.
The Battle Occurred Near HyattsyiIle,
Johnson County, Wyoming.
A Deputy United States Marshal Killed in
the Fight-AIl the Participants Were
Tough Characters and Each
Had Killed His Man.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. especial. ]
The news has just reached here of a
wholesale killing near Hyattville On the
Big Horn basin in Johnston county. 1t
appears that a man named Jim buff, a
deputy United States marshal, accom-
panied by Bill Neutcher, started out to
arrest some suspected cattle rustlers. The
two men were quietly riding along the
east side of the Big Horn when they came
upon the men they were in search of. A
battle was at once begun between them.
both sides being we'll armed with Win
chesters and revolvers. Three of the sup
posed rustlers were killed before the
deadly fire of their friends had wiped Huff
and Neutcher out of existence. It has
been impossible to get the names of the
other three men who were killed in the
fight.
The following day a posse of citizens,
enraged at the constant thefts of their
stock. were in pursuit of Asa Shuick and
Ira Walker, whom they suspected of be-
ing the desperadoes. At the head of the
Nowood, in Johnson county, they came
upon their men and Immediately opened
fire, killing both men instantly. They
had in their possession, at the time of
their death, about seventy-five head of
stolen horses.
Huff, Neutcher, Walker and Shuick
are all notorious characters. Ira Walker
killed Hank Lovett near Shell Creek sew
eral months ago. Walker shot him when
he was approaching his house. When
tried at the recent term of court in John
son county the plea of self-defense was
urged. No person had any doubt of his
guilt, but looked upon the killing COM
placently, because the county was freed
of bad character, and Walker was con-
sequently acquitted.
Asa Shuick in company with ssSlick'
or Albert Nero and another is supposed to
have shot the equally notorious Jack
Bliss last spring for this they were well
paid.
Bill Nutcher has been indicted for va
rious crimes and was once tried for horse
stealing. Jim Huff is not particularly
bad man though widely advertised as a
notorious robber and colt thief. Several
months ago he got the appointment of
deputy United States marshal from United
States Marshal Rankin and ne has since
held the position.

THE BRIGGS TRIAL.
The Reply of the Prosecution Begun by
Rev. DIR. LamDe.

The Reply of the Prosecution Begun by
Rev. DIR. LamDe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The Rev. Joseph
Lampe today began the reply OF the pros
ecution in the Briggs case. He said the
Presbyterian church did not seek to COM
pei any man to adopt its doctrines, but
when men personally assumed the obliga-
ton to that church the church itself had
the right to say whether any man who
accepts such position in that church full
filled faithfully his obligations. DR..
Braggs' methods in determining whether
or not any doctrines are essential were
unuuestionably ingenious, but they were
his own and must be regarded merely as
suggestions until he can induce the
church to revise the standards so as to
accept them.
DR.. Lampe said Briggs had not an
sWered the arguments of DR.. Birch and
Colonel McCook. The church denied, he
said, the position taken by Briggs that
reason and the church are sources OF di-
vine authority, Lampe said there is no
salvation without knowledge of Christ
and faith in him. He asserted that Christ
and his apostles in all their teachings
pointed out the gospel as the final and
only standard of divine authority.
DR.. Briggs, he said, contradicts this
vital doctrine In his claim that the
scriptures "contain' the word of God,
Mr.. Briggs was in antagonism to the
principle taught in the confession that
the scriptures 'sare'' the word of God.
The statement made by Briggs that di-
vine authority was not in words, but in
conception, contradicted the doctrine set
forth in the Presbyterian standards that
makes God to be the authority OF the
written word.

ton by saying; "Blaine is as well as yes

sician to-day what was the real nature of
the disease from which Mr.. Blaine was
suffering. They were given to understand
that it was by the wish of the family that
this is kept from the public. The think
if it were made public it would open a
large field for discussion that would be

CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. 2O.-[Special. !
The supreme court met pursuant to adj
journment at 2 pm. today. The decision
was announced by Justice Conway, who
overruled the motion of the defendants to
make the defendants plead more definite
and certain. The defendants were then
called upon to plead to the writ of the
the plaintiffs, and Judge Vanderveter on
behalf of the defendants announced that
he wished to file a demurrer to this whole

The Treaty of 1917, According to the Sec
rotary of State, Needs Amending.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The construc-
ton OF revenue cutters on the great lakes
by Canadian authorities has received re-
newed consideration by officials of the
treasury department within the past few
days since the receipt of the report made
by one Of the Iieutenants in the service to
Captain Shepard OF the revenue marine.
In this report the lieutenant gives
in detail facts corroborating the points
outlined in the Associated Press dis
patches several days ago, showing that in
all essential features the boats are naval
vessels. The report further states that
English and Canadian officers and citizens
explained that these vessels were built
with view of protecting the Wei
land canal from destruction in
case of attacks, and in this
connection the statement is made
that there are fifty vessels in the
British navy that can be sent to the great
lakes Contracts have been let for en-
larging the shallowest Of canals in
Canada and Cornwall to admit the pas
sage of vessels drawing fourteen feet of
water. The report does not excite any
apprehension at the treasury department.
Secretary OF State Foster said today the
report had not officially reached him vet.
He said the treaty of 1877 places n re-
striction upon the number of revenue
cutters either country may maintain
upon the great lakes. The documents
should be amended in some important
particulars to conform to modern condi-

MIRACULOUS CURES.
Effected by Looking in a Window of a
Minnesota Church.


WINoNA, Mimi, Dec. 20. = Bishop
Gotta has made an official statement to
the press with regard to the alleged mirac-
ulous window in the church in his canton
which has been creating so much excite
ment.- The bishop says in substance that
the manifestations appeared to be ex-
plainable on purely natural grounds and
that other interpretations are uncalled
for. The statements thus far advanced,
however, favoring an explanations by
processes of polarizations, of unpreventa-
BILE introduction of gaseous blue smoke in
cheap grades of window glass dur
ing its manufacture. He thinks
this hardly affords sufficient explana-
tions for the unique face forms
found in the first window or of similar
coincidence of the more defined like forms
found in a second glass. No theory point
ing to a supernatural origin for apper-
ance has been shown by any investigation
to be tenable and no one can be permitted
with any semblance of warrant from the
church to assert that manifestations are
miraculous in their character. Whoever
advances a supernatural theory does so
wholly on his private judgment. With
regard to people focking to the canton in
the hope of being miraculously cured of
ailments, the bishop earnestly urges such
to refrain from attempting the trip and
facing the dangers of an inclement season
and meagre accommodations inseparable
from the misnamed pilgrimages.
