To Amend the Constitution.

Representative Hutcheson, OF Texas, has
introduced a resolution for an amendment to
the Constitution to give Congress jurisdiction
over trusts. The amendment proposed is as
follows: "Trusts and monopolies dealing in
agricultural products or other articles of
prime necessity shall not exist in the United
States, and Congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate legislation"

WILL THE REPUBLIC ENDURE,
president C. W. Eliot, in the Octobe,
Forum

The American republic has now last
ed more than hundred years; and lit
tie Switzerland maintains a precarious
existence by favor of powerful neigh
bors jealous of each other; but the So
called republics Of Greece. Rome and
Italy, and two French republics have
persisted. Mexico and the republics Of
Central and South America are inse-
cure and ineffective governments. On
the whole, in spite of our instructive
faith in free institutions, we cannot
shut our eyes to the fact that the aug
uries which can be drawn from history
are not favorable to the real perma-
hence OF any republic. When we set
out to seek reasons for believing that
our republic will live, longer than other
governments which have borne that
name and will altogether escape de-
cline and fall, we cannot but be dis
mayed to see what great powers and
resources the older republics possessed,
and what splendid achievements they
made, without winning stability and
perpetuity from all these powers, re-
sources and achievements. The repub-
lie Of Athens, for example. had an art
and a literature which have proved
themselves immortal. In sculpture and
architecture Athens is still supreme; it's
literature still inspires and guides phil
osophers, poets and men of letters in
nations unborn when Greece was in her
prime. Now art and literature are
among the supreme achievements of
the human race; yet the example of
Athens demonstrates that they cannot
of themselves safeguard a republic.

Has Christianity Improved.

Mr.. Utter's subject at the theatre
yesterday was "a Few Improvements
in Christianity" The improvements
were not suggestions for lettering the
Christian religion in the future, but
facts in it's past history.
Many people do not think of Chris
tianity as improbable. They conceive
of 1t az a. system of doctrine divinely
revealed for the salvation of mankind,
and think that it was perfect from
the first, and is perfectly adapted to
all ages and to every condition Of so
ciety The views here set forth Is that
all religions are natural; all are pro-
ducts of human experience and activ-
ity; all results of evolution and all,
therefore, all improbable.
First-Christianity began as Jewish
sect, and the first great Improvement
was when it shook off the shackles of
narrow tribal creed and became a uni
before the books of the New Testament
were written, and largely, it is be-
lieved, through the work and influence
of ST. Paul.
Second-The second Improvement to
be noted is the change in emphasis
from fear to love. 1.-The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisd om,' was
the old Jewish word, and, in fact, all
religions in certain stage have been
religions of fear. Even yet fear has not
been altogether put aside as a religious
motive. In Sunday school books, If not
In sermons, the aim is still to make
children afraid of God. Robert Inger-
soil, in one Of his orations upon the
death of friend, announces it as his
aim to rob the grave Of every fear. He
would make mems thoughts of re-
ligion so rational that they would no
longer fear the torments Of hell for
any of the dead. A noble aim, and so
far as he or we or any one can it is a
duty to Danish such fears as arise from
superstition and Misrepresentation Of
God. Slowly as the ages pass this i'm
provement, which replaces fear with
love, goes on, and while 1t is incom-
plete there is a mission for each of us.
Third-Another great improvement
in Christianity has removed all its CEN
trail themes from the next world into
this God is here, not in some far away
heaven. Salvation is now and here. and
is not the getting into heaven after we
die Heaven is the state of peace, Of
reconciliation with God, that is to-be
attained in this world, not something
to be conferred upon US after death
The happiness we deserve we grow in
to. No place, no surroundings could
give 1t: 1t is attained through growth,
not delivered on account of services
rendered.
Fourth-The greatest and most in
elusive Improvement is that we are
entering upon now in the new con-
ception of God that comes with the
grand scientific thought of our age.
1t is God with US. Not that God 1900
years ago took upon him human flesh
~,
the world, but that there is the Christ
spirit in every man. This spirit may
be repressed and inactive, but it is the
divine part of every soul, and some-
time it will control and save-the life
This idea of the humanity of God and
the divinity Of man is to grow and
change Christianity more, perhaps,

STOLEN PICTURES RECOVERED.
After An Absence of Nine Years,
They Are Again Back Ina the Ames
Mansion.

New York, Oct S.--A World special
from Boston says
Four paintings, valued at from S15,-
600 to SIS. 600, stolen from the residence
of the late Frederick l.. Ames, at North
Easton, in the summer of 1885, have
been recovered by the family within a
week. and the recovery has been as
mysterious as was the robbery nine
yeafs ago. The family are still in the
dark as to where their pictures have
been all these years. They have no
idea as to the identity Of the burglars.
At the time Of the robbery, Mr.. Ames
offered 500 for information leading to
their recovery. Last week inquiry was
made as 20 whether the reward was
still in force The reply was in the
affirmative. After some mysterious
negotiations, the pictures were given
into the possession of the family and
500 was paid to a lawyer in this city
to be turned over to the man who gave
the information. Everybody connected
with the transaction was pledged to
secrecy in regard to the identity of the
others concerned in the deal.
A short lime ago, man was arrest
ed in New York for murder. He had
no money with which to pay his law
yer. In this extremity he told the aw-
yer he could get 81, 500 from some pic
lures that had been stolen by a gang
of which he had been a member and
he unfolded to him the story of the
AmeS robbery.

THE MAN WHO HAS FAILED.


Meantime that out-of-the-way little
house in Washingta was the scene of
a soul-tra gedy that was fast approach
ing climax. Few men have within
them greater capacity for heroism
than Christopher Brookes possessed.
He had faced death a hundred times
without finching. on the field of bat
tie, on the deck Of sinking ship, in
flood and fire; nor was he lacking in
that rarer heroism that resiSts the
slow continuous agony of years, the
silent heroism of which the world
knows nothing, yet which. is the whole
of many human lives; but the Htua-
ton in which this man found himself
was indeed enough to appal the stout
est heart.
To find himself, after almost half a
century of faithful service and manly
living, standing at bay with the whole
world apparently arrayed against him,
closing it's ranks grimly upon every av-
enue open to honest work that seemed
about to open to him; to know himself
steadily acquiring the ignominious
stamp with which society brands the
man who has failed; with every fibre
of his being an agoniZed protest
against his unmerited doom, to feel
himself sinking under, dragging with
him those dear and innocent beings
whose destinies were bound up with
his own, this was a test before which
the strongest nature the firmest faith,
might well give way.
Brookes was not a man OF creeds. The
very depths Of his nature, it's broad
and loving sympathy, had long ago
brought him into revolt against the
narrow religious teachings of his youth,
as they had against the cold theoriz-
ing Of a science that defines the origin
of human love as the elective affinity
Of two cells, and sees in every mani
Hesitation Of beauty only means used in
the blind struggle for an existence that
has no higher purpose than perpetual
ton. Both were equally hateful to
him. Long since he had ceased the
hopeless eendeavor to reconcile the ir-
rec0nciiable, and, like many another
soul as true and tender, waited, iumb,
before the awful mysteries of life and
death. for more light. Even now, when
the earth seemed slipping from under
his feet, and impenetrable darkness
comprised him, no scoffing word passed
his lips. He even found himself fling
ing hopeless, incoherent prayers into
that desolate void, and all the time
sinking to lower depths of despair.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
An Immense Number Of Hay Fed
Cattle Will Go From Wyoming.

WILL UO II TOHe wy
Cattle are selling so well in the mar
kets and the demand in the future prom
Uses so well that wherever there is hay
a large number of cattle will be fed dur
ing the coming winter. 1t will be the
case on the Laramie plains in North
park and the surrounding country. The
following article from the Saratoga Sun
shows the great activity in the Platte
valley In this respect:
There is no more prosperous and
growing industry in the Saratoga valley
at the present time than that of feeding
cattle for market. On every hand there
is enquiry for steers for feeding purposes,
be large number of hay fed cattle sent
to the market next spring from this
country.
The more prosperous of our ranchmen,
those in possession of considerable land.
are fitting UP their ranches with the sole
view of buying and feeding cattle. To
this end large quantities of ground are
being seeded to alfalfa, as that possesses
more fattening qualities than any other
hay and brings the quickest returns.
''As time goes on the number of men
try will be largely increased, and the in
dustry has received a wonderful impetus
this year owing to the failure of crops in
Nebraska and Kansas where so much
of that kind of work has hitherto been
carried on.
The hay that will be fed this winter,
added to the quantity that will be ship
ped out, will increase the value of what
remains, and our people will find that
left over for another year. Laramie

Of complaint of H. Rider Haggard, the
novelist, and the publishing firm of
Long1nans, Green e. Co., of New York,
against the Waverly company of New
York, for alleged infringement of the
copyright of Haggard's novel, NADIA,
the Lily" This is the first case arising
under the new international copyright
law, passed in 1890 and involves the
consdtutionality of the act. Joseph A.
Arnold Of New York, counsel for the
defendan Mt, urged that the right Of the
president to declare the copyright
treaties with various foreign countries
under the copyright law, was delega-
ton of legislative and judicial power in
violation Of the constitution. If this
view Is sustained, it will render invalid

Washington. Oct. 7.-when the war
department decided to abandon the
old, heavy Springfield rife and arm
the troops with the Krag-Jorgensen
small calibre repeating rifle, it was
predicted by the ,adherents of the old
arm that the new weapon would dis
appoint it's friends in its lack of de-
structive power.
This prediction has been disproved
by experiments made by the medical
staff of the German army and re-
peated by our bureau of military in
formation. The terrible destructive
effects of the new weapon appears
strikingly set out in this report. It is
said the wound inflicted by the small
bore bullet. Notwithstanding its small
size. is highly destructive. owing to
its enormous speed of rotation, which
causes the tissues struck to be torn

Our army officers felt that they had

when they adopted the calibre of 7e2

rifle, in 1892. and they were disposed to
criticise the navy department when
it went beyond them and still further
reduced the calibre of their rifles to
