REV. MIR. HoUsToNs ATTACK.

Another Hit at the seventh Day Ad.
ventists.
Rev. Thomas Houston addressed a fair
sized audience yesterday afternoon at Elsey
Chapel. Most of them were drawn there
out of curiosity, he having announced that
he would continue in his expose of the
s'damnable heresy' which Brother FRANKIE,
the Seventh Day Adventist preacher, is
forcing upon the people. He continued To-
talk on the subject which he took up two
weeks ago. Law and Grace" He said,
before getting to the subject in hand, that
there was once a time when some of Brother
Franke's congregation would lave blotted
that now they would pluck out his sightless
ones. THAT he said, lis the spirit they
manifest"
"Mr. FRANKIE and his followers, l hear"
said Mr.. Houston, ''are building a church.
Let them build it; it will never be necessary
for them to enlarge it, for the eyes of the
people are opened, and he won't be able to
make any more converts for a good while"
Many of those who gave their testimonies
grew very much excited n became SO
wrought up over it that they were hysteri-
cal, and made others of the audience, wit
were of a hke nature, so. Sobs and groans
were heard from several parts of the room
as the brothers and sisters We're talking.
Dominic Houston, as the testimonies were
related. rubbed his hands, and the hotter
the t~estifiers grew the harder he rubbed.
The little chapel, before the meeting closed,
very much %resembled an old time Methodist
camp meeting. 1t lacked but a few minutes
of six o'clock when the closing hymn was
sung.

Times Growing Better.


The Newark Times of this morning
gives an encouraging list of manufac-
turing concerns in Newark which are
preparing for a very busy spring sea-
son in that city. Leather, thread,
jewelry, chemicals, and zinc and iron
are non the staple products in
which, it is said, a great improvement
has either taken place or else Is lIn~
mediately expected.
On Saturday. THE JERSEY CITY
News printed a despatch from De-
troit, showing that just the same
awakening was perceptible in that
city. OF course, these are only two
spots out of this whole wide country;
but they are places far apart and
their simultaneous development of a
progressive movement may be taken
as indicative of a prevailing condi-
ton.
The improvement in the tone of the
stock market, consequent upon h
passage of the Wilson bill by the
House of Representatives, is another
straw showing how the wind blows.
The conditions all over the country
are such as not only to favor q brisk
business movement, but even to de-
mand one. The banks are gorged
with idle capital which is at the SER
vice of any one who wants to employ
it. and who can give reasonable Sc
curity. The streets are thronged with
idle men, who only want the oppor-
tunity to go to work with a will. The
stocks of the retailers are sold down to
low water mark in many lines oil
goods. The business world in general,
from the mill owner TO the smallest
shop keeper is tired of the curtailment
of profit. All want to start the ball
rolling again.
With such a conjuncture of circum-
stances. the result ought to be pretty
certain. Wilson tariff or no Wilson
tariff, an improvement is bound to
come. But. with the tariff, we believe
the boom will be much more vigor-
Gus at the outset, and much more
stablein the long run.

The valiant Execution.

To lovers of peace and order the
execution of the miscreant Valiant
must be a cause of great satisfaction,
not from a bloodthirsty desire for
vengeance, but because it is a step to-
wards securing the world against the
recurrence of such atrocities as the
explosion of the dynamite bomb in
the French Chamber of Deputies.
However desperate your average
anarchist may be, experience shows
that he is as much afraid of punish
ment as the ordinary man of law and
order, and every firm and unrelenting
administration of the law in his re-
gard has caused a marked cessation in
both threats and deeds of violence.
The remorseless hanging of the mur-
derers of the Chicago police to all in
tents and purposes stamped out an
archy in that city. The fate of Rus
sell Sage's bomb thrower has appar-
emily had the effect of discouraging
all imitators. The hanging of Guiteau
rid the country of murderous cranks
for many a day, and the imprison-
ment or Johann Most some years ago
and of Emma Goldman recently
caused marked decline in the flow of
indammatory eloquence. In Europe.
similar facts may be observed. The
punishment of Orsini, years ago, gave
Europe comparative freedom from
assassins for many years, and since
the execution of the murderer of the
Gar, Russia has been free from Mill
istic demonstrations, at least of the
dynamite and dagger kind.
A number of foolish people seem to
have desired the pardon OF Valiant
from a fear that his execution might
provoke further outrages, by way of
revenge. This is the worst sort of
'efoHy. Fear is a much stronger inn
pulse than vengeance even i'll the
anarchist makeup. A display of
dread on the part of the govern ment
is just the thing to encourage further
atrocities. The presumption that
they could be committed with com
parative iinpunity because the au-
thorities were afraid to carry out the
law is Just the thing to develop a
wholesale crop. rendering the life of
every public man a mere succession of
deadly peril.
The frmness of President Carnot
and his ministers is to be .applauded.
There is only one way to suppress
anarchism. and that is by ~unsparing
rfgor in the administration OF the
legal penalties.
