sdlnC OF TepuCeu sinner. lney cannot
stihe their approval of virtue, however
closely they are bound in the chains
of their creed or entangled in the
meshes of false philosophy. And
80 long as corrupt tree cannot bring
forth good fruit, they must ascribe
that virtue to some good principles
in the heart.
But the powers and capacities of
the human mind, however good in
themselves, are liable to be abused.
External influences and the want of
clear knowledge of the relation of the
soul to external nature, leave it ex-
posed to temptations and liable to be
drawn into evil. And these influences
often awaken feelings uncongenial
with the true elements of human ma
ture. And say what we will or adopt
what philosophy we please, man is
indisputably moral agent, capable
of acting for himself. His acts and
volitions, and decisions of judg-
ment, are essentially his own, what
ever may be the influences that oper-
ate to induce them. He cannot re-
lease himself from the responsibility
of his own moral actions; nor is
he less accountable for the principles
and motives which govern his out
ward conduct. These constitute the
fountain from which his conduct pro-
ceeds. And thus, whenever there is
evil found in the conduct of men, it
must necessarily be referred to some
corrupt principles within, an abuse
of the powers of mind or to some
corrupt motives and influences which
overwhelm and bear down the better
purposes of the soul. These are the
corrupt trees that bring forth evil
fruit.
Nor should any dependence be
placed upon miraculous conversion
to effect radical change in the es-
sential elements of the soul. What
ever benefit may be derived from true
conversion, it does not change the
elements and moral capabilities of the
soul. AS we'll might the bramble be
turned into a fig tree as for the nature
of man to be essentially changed.
But the tree which is choked and cor
rupted SO as to injure and destroy
it's fruit, may be revived and made to
bear abundantly by proper culture
So those Christians who have failed to
exhibit the fruits of righteousness as
they ought, may be improved and
made to grow in grace by proper at
tention to the Gospel of Christ.
There is a work, then, of mental
and moral improvement, the perfor
nance of which depends solely on
ourselves. We must act for ourselves
in becoming righteous; for no one
can act for us. Personal righteous
ness-the possession of the Christian
characters work which cannot
be done by proxy. And as God has
fixed in us the natural elements of
goodness-has made us with powers
and capacities essentially goodbye
are obligated to be faithful to oursel-
YES to use them without abuse
to refrain from all those things
which come in conflict with any part
of our complicated being.

LEwELLING UNDER A CLOUD.
a Charge That He Sanctions Corrup-
tiOn in Kansas Cities.

Topeka Kas., Aug. 5.-The republican
state central committee has sprung the
political sensation of the campaign. 1t is
a letter written by Associate Justice
stephen H. Allen of the supreme court.
10 Lieut.. Gov. Percy Daniels, bearing
GATE Of May l9, just before the populist
state convention. The letter saws:
1t seems TO be generally con-
ceded that the drift of sentiment
Is all in favor of the denomination of Gov.
Lewelling and that of the other state
omcers. You know there has been much
talk about the administration of affairs
In the large cities. Within the past few
days L have learned, not from the enemies,
put from the friends of the administra-
tlon, OF circumstances showing that
The administration of affairs in
some, if not all, of the cities
OF the first class is thoroughly corrupt,
and that to the knowledge, at least, of
the governor. l have also been told of
circumstances which tended very strongly
TO indicate that this condition of affairs
meets with his sanction. l cannot, by
letter, undertake to put together the
various things that l have learned with
out going out of my way at all to do so,
nor do | wish at present to name my
authorities.
TO COME OUT IN THE CAMPAIGN.
''In fact, very much prefer not to place
myself in the attitude of an accuser of
anybody, and what l wish to suggest to
you, and wish all the people could know,
IS that very serious charges are now
made, and that during the campaign we
shall nquestiOnably have them to face.
1t is an open secret that the prohibitory
law has not been enforced in the larger
cities. You know I am not, to draw
1t mildly, a prohibition crank, yet
1t is very easy for me to see how readily
corrupt practices become associatiaed
with systematic disregard and violation
of the law Our opponents in the cam
paign can start out with the clear and ad-
mitted proposition that the prohibitory
law has been generally disregarded in the
larger cities. / fear, also, that they can
easily show systematic boodling by the
police departments. How much
evidence will then be re
quired to convince those of our
people who are specially interested ID the
enforcement of the prohibitory law that
the administration is directly connected
with all these practices} Worst Of all,
dread possible developments showing di-
rect connection of the executive officers
with these matters. We have all to de-
fend that we can possibly carry without
having to meet charges of corruption"
The letter was written on the supreme
court letter head, and the signature was
compared with that of Justice Allen on
other documents and found to be identical.
Justice Allen is out Of the state on va
cation.
Chairman Bredenthal declines to talk.
The republican committee will have the
letter autographed and scattered broad
cast over the state.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug 5.-At the Shelby

She said when she was taken in charge
that she was Mrs. Jacob Rosenberg, the

on condition that her husband be at
once notified of her plight that she would
consent to be taken to the asylum, and
she expressed the utmost confidence that
she would be obliged to remain in DURANGO

than ordinary refinement. Since that
day she has evinced not the slightest sign
of insanity and, to-day, if word could be
obtained of her family, she would be re-

The only sign that she is not all that
she should be mentally is that, although
she apparently remembers the names OF
her friends and family perfectly, no such
persons exist as far as can be learned.
The case seems TO be one of lost Identity.

Cincinnati, and afterward was graduated
at the Lebanon (Ohio) Normal college,

also studied in the Boston School of Ora

until they moved to Helena. Her story

The river and harbor was to have been

There is no question that tho combina-

there are sufficient hold-over democrats

MANY TO GO HUNGRY.
A Gloomy Outlook for the Poor of

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The head professor of
sociology in the University of Chicago,
DR.. Albion w. Small in an interview to-
day on the prospects of the unem-
ployed of Chicago for the coming
winter, said: "Unless the people of
Chicago have a chance to work at any
price, we shall have condition Of misery
In Chicago that will exceed by 100 per
cent. anything experienced last winter
The people who gave money last winter
Tor the support of the unfortunates will
have far less to contribute this year.
Those who were able last year to Law
aside something from the business profits
incident to the worlds fair are now
scarcely able to meet necessary expenses.
My practical suggestion for the poor of
Chicago is to take anything they can get
to do and account themselves lucky if
they can get anything. The civic fedora
tion has already begun to plan for the
winters work, and the task is not an en-
couraging one. l am convinced there
have been in Hyde Park more people look
ing for cold victuals during the month of
July than there were at any time last year.
