WHO Is RESPONSIBLE?

Tennyson's latest poems were full Of Bit
ter taunts at our time as an age of
skepticism, moral cynicism and immoral
ity. If it be true that religious faith and
fervor are less common, that moral indif-
ference and distrust of everything save a
dollar are more rife than they were sixty
years ago, who is to blame2
The church frowns and bitterly says that
the people worship the false gods; the ag.
nostics who in the name OF science are
steadily seeking to sap the solemn
creed of Biblical Christianity, and
they calculate Darwin, Huxley, Tyn-
dali. Spencer" and other so-called
great anti-Christs. The light and
superficial critics cry out that Bob"
Ingersoll and his band of unbelievers are
the cause, when. really, the fiippant Bob
is only symptom of the disease. He did
not invent the smallpox; he is only one
of the red and angry pustules. There
never was time when there were more
churches, or more money spent for
churches and for ali that is concerned in
the iteration and extension of the ortho-
dox Christian faith than at present.
What makes skepticsm, moral cynicism,
moral indifference, moral hypocrisy so
common. If they be common, today? tits

breath OF the great agnostics of science:

EXECUTE YOUR OWN CHARITIES

Jay Gould did not leave any of his vast
fortune to the public; he gave the church
nothing; the state nothing. "Bill" Tweed
gave $4,000 worth Of coal to the poor of
New York just before election once; he
could afford to be generous. because he
stole the money by frauds committed upon
the city treasury. but Gould in life seldom
gave anything away, and he did not mean
that after his death the public should get
the benefit of any of his money. It is just
as we'll that he did so as far as his own rep
utation is concerned; it was Gould to the
last, letting go his grip on nothing that he
had ever seized except when Death I'M
clinched his grasp on his gold. and then
he saw to it that nobody but "mine" got
anything that ever belonged to "me."
1t is small credit to man never to give
anything out of his great wealth to public
or private charities until death makes it
impossible for him to longer retain his
hold on his riches. To will something to
charity after death that you never yielded to
charity in life is like giving away some.
thing that you don't want, because you
can no longer use it, enjoy it or dispose Of
it to your own personal advantage. Every
true man Of wealth is his own almoner
every day, as was Peter Cooper, Claflin
and Girard. That is the best way to exc
cute your benevolent desires; you know to
whom you give; you watch the result;
you personally see that the real purpose of
your organized charity Is executed both in
letter and spirit, as Peter Cooper did in
his School of Design.
The steady, consistent exercise Of char
ity in life Is excellent preparation for
good death, for the practice of charity like
that of mercy blesses both him that gives
and him that receives, but charity after
death on the part of a man who was with
out charity in life is likely to remind the
world Of the innate meanness of man
that could not bring himself to the point
of any sort of benevolence in life: it was
only when he had lost his gold forever
that he was willing q cent should go to
charity.
Such men it they could possibly carry
their gold away with them to another
world would certainly do it; would be
buried with check for it payable to their
own order on their arrival on the other
side of the river in the great beyond.

trouble that afflicted the Rev. NJ. Mac
church. MIR. MacQueary declared that
Joseph was the probable father of Jesus;
that Christ's resurrection was spiritual
appearance; that Jesus was man thorn
along the lines Of natural generation" he
was disbeliever in the Thirty-nine Arti-
Giles, the Apostles Creed, the infallibility
of the Scriptures and the spiritual
character of apostolic succession. The
singular thing was not that the
church tried MacQueary for heresy,
but that man holding such views should
have forced the church to try him. He
ought to have stepped down and out
voluntarily the moment he ceased to be-
lieve the Apostles Creed. which it was
his duty to repeat so long as he believed
it, but he had no right 20 cling to posi-
ton which compelled him to repeat
solemnly in service that which he had
ceased to believe. The church tried Mac
Queary and, Of course, found him guilty
Of heresy, but q proper sense Of honor
would have prevented Mr.. MacQueary
fir ON forcing his church to try him, and
proper sense of honor would have pre-
vented DR.. Briggs from forcing his church
to try him; he ought to have behaved like
q gentleman and a man of absolute in
genuousness. as did Cardinal Newman. It
was his duty to leave the church when he
had clearly ceased TO be Presbyterian,
and not pose before the public chopping
theological logic. like q legal cleric,
with his accusers. When Emerson and
Parker found that they had risen
above the orthodox Unitarianism of
Claiming they did not disguise their con-
victions, and they did not attempt to force
trial for heresy. Emerson left his pull
pit for life, and Parker stepped out of the
Unitarian church into q pulpit of more
rational religious teaching and practice.
DR.. Briggs ia sure to be convicted of
heresy at last, and when he can no longer
pose and display his dialectics he will ex.
cite no further attention. DR.. Briggs is q
very learned and acute Biblical critic, but
he is clearly not much of man, or else he
would have the manly courage Of his con-
victionS.

A Romance Of Kootenay County.


marriage not without fine flavor OF ro-
nance was celebrated in the parlOrs OF the
Pacific hotel yesterday afternoon, when Mrs.
Clara Rakestraw gave her hand and heart into
the keeping of stalwart T. J. McGrade, of Ka-
Espell. Nearly two years ago Mr.. McGrade was
deputy sheriff of Kootenay county, Idaho. As
a minion OF the law he was ono day deputized
to ride out into the country and eject from q
piece OF property his present wife and husband.
He did so, but the two at once moved again into
their cabin. A second time he was forced to go
u the cabin and eject the man. His wife, a
sweet-fsced and very timid-looking woman, at
tractad the attention Of the deputy sheriff at
once. and when he went out for the third time
to drive them out of their home, her
sweet face and appealing looks softened
his heart ard he rode back to town,
announcing to the sheriff that she'd be ID
if he did anything OF the kind" A week later
Mrs. Rakestraw left her husband for good rea-
sons and went back to the home OF her father in
Ohio. The circumstances of the poor young
cabin with her pretty face aroused all the man
hood and love within the breast of the young
deputy sheriff. After Mrs Rakestraw had Sc
cured her divorce in her home in Ohio Mr.. Nc
Grade commenced correspondence with her.
After nearly year she was induced to come to
Spokane to meet her second prospective hus-
band. Mr. McGrade Is tall, with blue eyes and
a curly head OF hair, and is fine looking speci-
man of manhood. Mrs. McGrade is yet quite
young. She 10 very pretty. and when q few
friends witnessed the ceremony and the salts
factory looks on each of their faces Rev. Mr..
Cornett could not be excused from being com
plimented in being an actor in joining together
two hands and hearts so happily.

Under equal pressure the Union OF 1892
would not degenerate from the Union of
1s6l-65, whose struggle while teaching us
lesson of unity in thought and action
had nothing exceptional in its example Of
unity that speaks to US in tone of rebuke
or despair of our own time. 1t was only
the unity that all brave and patriotic peo-
piles exhibit under the pressure of grind
ing necessity; the unity of Prussia at bay
under Frederick the Great; the unity of
France under the first republic and Ma
poleon the Great; the unity of Holland
under its great iberator, William of
Orange; the unity of the colonies
against the king. The unity and
patriotism of the American colonies
had nothing exceptional, mysterious or
strange about it; it did not differ whit
from the unity and patriotism of our own
loyal people against the South in the civil
war; nor in its unity and absence Of party
spirit does our colonial struggle reouke Us
with any reproachful lesson. The patriot
ism of the colonial statesmen did not
smack more of noble superiority to party
spirit than the frank pledge of aid and in-
fuence that the war Democracy made and
sacredly kept to Lincoln when it crowded
around the standard of the nation, never
to whisper party cries again until the
unity of the nation was restored.
1t is not historically true that the his
tory of the fathers Of the Revolution, Of
the patriotic statesmen Of 1S6l-65, in its
lesson of unity and freedom from party
spirit under pressure, contains any rebuke
to US, their children. In the ashes of our
sturdy great-grandfathers we can see the
children's fires that glowed so brightly
during the great struggle for the Union,
and, put US again under equal pressure,
and from the ashes of those who restored
the flag our children would be sure to light
the torch of liberty and patriotism.
