WORSHIP OF STRENGTH AND
PHYSICAL CULTURE.

antiquity worshjpped strength. In
learned Greece during the earlier
period of its history, certainly, such
characters as Hercules. noted for their
great strength and physical endur-
ance, we're the national heroes. And
some of the great nations like Egypt
carried this idea o. the exultation Of
strength to such degree that they
worshipped huge animals, like the
bull, or If they did not actually
worship the animals they worshipped
the strength which they represented
and the animal became its symbol.
Some nations worshipped the powers
of nature, the winds, the thunder and
and the tightening and even the cruel
sea, which, before man conquered it,
devoured~ whomsoever entered upon
its wild and tumultuous bosom.
Olympian zeus, Great Jupiter or cruel
Juno were only personifcations of
those powers. And not only did the
learned Pagans worship strength but
but this same idea Is found among the
Hebrews. Some of their great
religious heroes were men represented
to possess wonderful strength, as
Samson. The Olympian games and
races were national and Of a semi
religious character. And in the
later days Of those great civilizations
of antiquity, Greece and Rome, prize
fighting became the great national
sport and is regarded as great blot
upon those brilliant civilizations. Yet
probably in the days of Greece and
Rome man reached a greater physical
development than he possesses today.
That is, the masses physically were
far superior to the masses of today.
Physical culture was the great hobby
Of the day. Only sound mind in a
sound body the Romans said.
And today in America there is a
great revival Of physical culture. In
the east it has assumed almost the
form of craze. The numerous
college contests where physical
powers are tested rather thAn mental,
we have all read about. And it is
urged that we should initiate the
Romans in physical culture, but
discard their brutility. But with many
the question is where true physical
culture leaves off and brutality
begins. Yet the numerous races,
games in which physical powers are
tested, and other contests Of strength
show plainly that in America there
is great revival of the practices 0!
the ancients. Lack of exercise and
neglect Of development of muscle are
producing a puny race in the new
Il world, it has been said. But in the
; craze for physical culture we are very
apt to get the other extreme, And
); the idea Of worshipping strength
which pervaded the ancient mind
still fingers IN some form in the
American mind of today, if we may
fudge Of the eagerness with which
people read about the great national
pugilists of today, and the heroes thai
some desire to make Of them. Bul
craze for physical culture is undoubt

proper bounds. But there is the rub

Commissioner Hall And the Indians.

Hon. Oar S. Hall, late Chippewa
indian commissioner was inter-
viewed by the Pioneer Press Monday
and gave the following: II sug-
gested that the department at Wash
ington should send to the Chippewa
commission plats for all the Indian
reservations, so that the Chippewa
commission might finish the allot-
ment at an early date. This is real
ly the principal work the commission
now has to do. They have COM
pleted nearly all the allotments at
White Earth reservation. The last
work | was engaged in was making
allotments upon the Fond du Lac
reservation. These allOtlnCnts are
nearly completed, and it will only
take short time to finish them. The
allOtmcnts at: Leah Lake, Grand
Portage, Bots Fort and Red Lake
reservations can be speedily made
| after the plnts are received from
Washington. The work is well in
hand, and have every. reason to
believe that.it will soon be wound
up, for the Indians upon the differen
reservations will not move to White
Earth, and they are not required by
| law to move there. They are tie
sole judges in this matter, and insist
upon having their allOtments where
| they now live. They have the legal
right to &C. to White Earth, and as {,
matter Of fact ought to go there, be-
cause it is one of the most fertile and
desirable tracts Of land in Minnesota.
No thirty-six townships in this state
have been provided by nature with
SO many natural advantages. Pine
wood timber, hardwood timber,
rich and fertile prairies are there for
the Indians. but they prefer. to take
their. allotment in the barren regions
of Fond lu Lac. Grand Portage and
Other places, and t hey cannot be per
Isaaded To do otherwise. TWAS this

ladies of the Minnesota Auxiliary at
the Worlds Fair. Mrs. Hunt has
not resigned and the fight is still on.
She seems to have Gov. Nelson on her
side but it is reported that the other
ladies will see that the governor is
properly turned down. The ladies Of

experience in those matters about

keep silent. 1t is gratifying, however,
to learn that the reported snubbing
contest between Mrs. Palmer and
Eulalie will not create war between
this country and Spain.

The formal decision of the board of
directors Of Union Seminary to retain
Prof. Briggs confirms previous reports
that the Brig6s theology was to be
standard doctrine at that great theo-
logical school Of the Presbyterian
church. This with other events
subsequent to the conviction of Dr.
Briggs for heresy shows that
such conviction counts 70,
very little. Of course since the
church lost its temporal power nc
bodily harm could be inflicted upon
any of its victims, but it has beer
supposed that the church had still
power to destroy the ecclesiastical life
Of a person whom it convict ed at least
within its own body of the church !;
but such does not appear to he the
case as regards Prof. Briggs and
the Presbyterian church. lie seems
certainly, to be just as strong as ever
within that church. Most intelligent
people have come to look with
disfavor upon the i lea Of quarreling
with man for what he sincerely
believes. It is what a man is and
what he does that makes him Christian
rather than what he believes about
the details Of the future world or
about what happened two or three
thousand years ago. And since Prof.
Briggs is regarded as the peer Of any
Of them in intellect and morals, the
efforts Of the Presbyterian general
assembly to dicipline him will be
futile.

This is the way the Methodist talk

This is the way the Methodist talk
of Chief Justice Fuller, the highest
judicial officer in the land. as the SEN
timents Of the church were expressed
by preacher at one of their recent
meetings protesting against his
decision in regard to Sunday opening:
II can imagine a personal devil
squatting like black toad at the ear
of justice itself, and debating the
decision Of tie court and then, after
the judgment had been pronounced,
slapping the judge on the shoulder
and saying, "Well done, I couldn't
have written that better myself"
But the directors of the Fair say
the Methodist nor any one can't
remove their exhibits, as they were
entered for whole period and any
attempt to remove will be stopped.

peror came and stood silently before
them, AMI they were silent at first; then
the shout that went up was almost aw-
full in its intensity, and the emperor,
with a military salute and few words
of thanks went in. But that did not sat
isfy then; they cried out again and
pressed up closer. A peasant woman
who had been standing near my carriage
