We must challenge the land and money
monopoly in its European stronghold.
Instead Of fostering distrust, especially
against England, her people must be led
to aid. England, France and the United
States represent the most there is influ-
entisl, liberal and progressive. They
have as yet free speech and an uncen-
sored press. The people there are as
tinder waiting for the match. They al
ready have their leaders, who need but

united, directed effort. Here are we
quibbling about immigration laws to the
end that our Anglo-SRxon brothers may
yet perish in the sea like q drowning deg
pushed from either shore. There is rea-
son for their crowding to our shore, and
threatening ruin to the mere force OF
numbers and an ignorant ballot. Rather
let us use our influence to rescue their
own lands for them, create markets Of

save our country by SO doingl Evils are

1t is remarkable that college professors
who teach pocial ethics (man's duty to
man) as q science, and the brightest
minds among ministers, are the first to
teach socialism. That these grand men
can or should distinguish between classes
or be limited by national boundaries, is
impossible. Any party which hopes to
live should attract this element Let
our brilliant leaders use their light to
place coming freedom on broad, sure
foundation. God protect the people

Thomas Lowry made another offer to
the park board yesterday. Ii the board
will purchase the land surrounding and
including Spring lake, particularly all
the land between the lake and Ken
wood boulevard, Mr.. Lowry will give
the board $4,000 to improve it, previd-
ing the money he expended i'll 1888.
Spring lake is east of KenwOOd boule-
ward and near it, between 1t
and Bassett's lumber yard. 1t is
property to pay for acquiring the Land
would be from 50 cents to So lot for
ten years. The offer was accompanied
by petition from owners of adjacent
property. The matter was referred to
the committee on designation OF
grounds. Mr.. Lowry does not bind him
self to give the $4,000 outright. but
will furnish it TO the board as demanded
to pay for the improvements.
President c.. NJ. Loring announced
the appointment of committees as fol-
lows:
improvements - Hangar, Folwell,
Northrup, Jones and SlOft.
Finance-Rldgway. Eustls and Hau-
gan.
judiciary -Rockwood. Bradish and
Dabn.
Salaries-Brown, Bradish and Rock

Designation of Grounds-Folowell,

; Police-Adams, Dahn and lockwood.
Shore Rights and Privileges-NOrth-
rup, Dahn and Bradish.

Nomenclature Jones, Folwell and
Ryan.
West River Bank Dahn, Haugan
and Adams.
Patrick Ryan came in with three
resolutions. One, directing that B. B.
Craig, eX-attorney for the board, be en-
ployed to look up delinquent taxes
against the boards property. was tabled.
The other two had reference to the
mortgages against the King tract, which
have never been satisfied.
l.. F. Menage holds one for &c. 700.
President Loring and Commissioner
lockwood were delegated to get salts
faction Of that mortgage on the best
possible terms. G. NJ. Loring and H. f.
Brown have mortgage for $50. 600 on
the same property. They have expressed
willingness TO give the board a salts
faction.
The secretary was instructed to get it
right away.
By formal resolution the board de-
clared that the whole of the cost of Co
lumbia park. 1918, 04l Is, be assessed
against abuttng property. At the next
meeting the board will bear au estimate
of the cost OF the improvements con-
templated for the coming year. The
secretary will report at that time, too,
how much money has been spent on
Lake of the Isles, and the superintend-
ent will estimate what it will cost to
finish the contemplated improvement
there. Prof. Folwell never could see
the sense of maintaining Hennepin
boulevard at park board expense since
it became street railway right of way.
Through his motion the judiciary
committee was ordered to report what
legislation is necessary for the abandon-
ment OF both Hennepin and LYndale
DoulevardS.

HOMAA'S CHANCE.

He Read His Paper on "Theoso-
phy"-Eastis Not Endorsed by
ministers.
Rev. w. j. Holman did get chance
to read his paper on theosophY before
the union meeting of the ministers yes
terday morning. Mr.. Homan's paper
was practically the sermon he delivered
some time ago. Through it all ran a
very steady vein of sarcasm. Frequent
reference was made to the fondneSs of
the late Nine. Blavatsky for cigarettes.
Mrs. Annie Besant was referred to as a
poor, misguided, suffering, brilliant
+ woman. who embraced theoSophy
because the religious divineS Numbered
when she sought light of them. Mr..
Holman found theoSophy to be COM
pound of pantheiSm, fatalism and jug
glery, decorated by the doctrine OF re-
incarnation. He was convinced that the
wonders of The0sophy are no more
wonderful than can be seen in the side
Show for IL cents any time the circus
comes to town. Rev. r. S. Feagles
moved that the paper be printed. The
divinrs were not willing to adopt it, how
ever, although they commended the
paper. MIR. Holman said he wanted to
recast the paper before publishing it.
He was advised to submit it to some
magazine.
''Resolved, That we express our APP
prevail of the measures thus far adopted
looking toward the enforcement OF the
city laws and ordinances for the sup
preston of vice." was the resolution
presented by Rev. d. E. Wells. 1t pro-
duced much merrment. Most OF the
ministers seemed to believe that Mayor
EustiS had only experienced spasm of
virtue. Rev. L. o. Holman objected to
the resolution as fatty indorsing the
administrator before the administra-
ton had shown that it deserved indorse-
ment. The resolution was tabled by
the vote of every minister present eX-
cept Rev. d. E. Wells.

Two Persons Nearly Killed by It
Yesterday.
T. II. IIainert, who resides at 1912
Park avenue, was awakened early yes
terday morning by the loud shrieks and
means OF a woman. He rushed down
stairs to the basement. There he found
his servant girl, Sedred Anderson, lying
on the floor in great agony. Her clothes
were a mass of flames. Mir. Hainert
managed to put out the fire, but not
until life was nearly extinct. DR..
Gates, VINO lives next door, was called,
and did everything possible to relieve
tie SutTtllngs of the unfortunate. Dr..
Gates stated last evening that the cOndi-
tiCn Of the girl was very serious and the
chances for recovery were against her.
The fire was caused by the explosion of
a gasoline stove.
William McCupn, lad of sixteen,
employed at MotfetT, Bushnell IL Co. S
printing office at 1913 Hennepln avenue,
was badly burned yesterday morning in
an explosion caused by turning gasoline
INTO Il stove. The lads clothes caught
fire, and had it not been for the en-
piOyeS, who took the unfortunate out
and rolled him in the snow, lie would
have burned to death. He was later
taken to his home, GIG Fourth street

NIlLDER THEOLOGY.
Minneapolis Presbyterians De-
clare in Favor of 1t.

At the last nesting OF the Minneapo-
lis presbytery twenty-seven proposed
changes in the confession of faith were
submitted to a committee. Yesterday
the committee reported to the presbY-
terry. The committee reported affirma-
lively on all but three of the proposed
changes, some of them important. The
committee recommended that the
clause relating 10 the acceptance of the
spirit of grace" OH account of mira
Giles performed and prophecies, be
stricken out; that the clause saying God
passes by certain man be stricken
out, thereby throwing responsibility for
ungodlineSS upon man instead of upon
Cod" that I'm the beginning God ere
ated all things" take the place of the as
sertion that He made heaven and earth
in six days; that the passage relating to
"divine wrath" be made to read
'divine Justice a mider form of ex-
preston; that the passage be inserted
declaring man free moral agent. re-
sponsible alike for his innocence or sin:
that the passage referring to infants and
heathenS dying without grace he made
to mean that these are regenerated and
saved by Christ, through the spirit;
that "damnation' be changed to
condemnation in the passage re-
lating to damnation of the soul;
that ''popist." as it has a bearing on
the vows of the Presbyterian church,
be stricken out; that pope and
"popist' be stricken out, the object
being to totally ignore them; that 'The
popes claim as the vicar of Christi be
substituted for the old assertion, THE
pope is anti-Christ and is the son of
perditlon."
1t will be readily seen that this report
is in line with the mIlder theology, the
teaching of which has brought persecu-
ton upon DIR. Briggs and others. And
the Minneapolis presbytery adopted the
report i'll its entirety.
The presbytery was supposed to dis
pose of the case of Webster, the Shake
pee minister who lived in Minneapolis,
and vino disappeared some weeks ago,
leaving bills and shady reputation.
