Minister Against Minister.

Rev. DR.. Robert p. Kerr, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Rich
mond city, in a published letter takes
to task Rev. John X. ConnaiIy (Bap-
tist) of North Carolina, for remarks
made by the latter in a sermon which
charged DR.. Kerr with taking a trip to
Europe on "blood money" contributed
by Il liquor dealer. While Mr. Con-
nally did not mention DR.. Kerr's name
in the sermon referred to, his remarks
left no room for doubt as to what
pastor was being alluded to. DR.. Kerr
says
without stopping to discuss the
question as 10 whether the fact, if it
had been fact, indeed. of Il liquor
dealer having paid Presbyterian
minister's expenses TO Europe would
be proper subject for a sermon, Mr.
Connally had no right to take up a
floating rumor which he considered III
furious to the reputation of any per-
sons and give it great currency by
making it part of q sermon before his
association, when. by his own confes-
he is saying is true OF not.'
DR.. Kerr Indignantly denies tue
charge and states that he paid every
cent incident to the expenses of his
European trip out of his own resources.

Senator Hill and the Cloture.

In the Senate Tuesday of last week,
the rules of that very inefficient body
were discussed by Senator Hill. of New
York, who advocated such changes as
would give the majority control OF the
course of business. At present the
privilege of unlimited debate, regard
less of the will of the majority, actual
ly perverts legislation The Senator
referred to the recently enacted tariff
act as Il measure which was amended in
ways extremely OBJECTIONABLE. to the
democratic majority simply for the rea
son that tue concession OF amendments
was the price demanded by the minor
ity. or by few individ uals, for bstain-
ing from inrerniuabip obstruction.
The duties on cotton fabrics, for eX
ample, were Trained by certain New
England mill owners and forced upon
the democratic ma jority by the minor

tor Hill, predicts that the cloture will
be adopted by the republicans as soon
as they get control of the Senate. Alb
stention now will not prevent that. 1t
is good policy, accordingly, the Sena
tor thinks. for the democrats to use the
cloture now to carry measures of u
democratic character.
BARN BURNED IN LANCASTER COUN-
TY.-On Monday night OF last week, a
large barn situated about three miles
from MilIenbeck, Lancaster county, the
property of Mr. Charles A. Kaizer and
brother, containing three horses, three
COWS, and large quantity of fodder
and corn, also farming implements, was
completely destroyed by fire No enc
at the dwelling house, which is about
one hundred and fifty yards from the
barn, had retired when the fire was dis
covered. Upon reaching the barn the
Kaizer brothers were unable to save
anything, the fire having assumed such
large proportions. The horses and cows
had already persisted. The loss is very
heavy, and there is no insurance. The
fire is thought to be the work of an in
cendiary.
CRIMINAL EX-CoNGREssMEN. "A
white Congressman in Iowa was
convicted Thursday in a police court
of stealing pair of horses, and a negro
ex-Congressman in Arkansas was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for com
hitting pension frauds.
1t would seem from this that Con
gress must be demoralizing body, or
that in some parts of the country the
people make very bad selections in
electing men to that body.
INCREDIBLE REPORTS. Some of the
reports published as to the persecu
tiOns, murders, and fortunes of the
Christians in Armenia stagger creduli
ty, and we believe with the Norfolk
La72d1n0ghthat" there is large amount
OF doubt as to the truth of the so-called
Armenian outrages in Turkey. 1t is a
hard matter to get a true story from
one person to another, much less sift-
ed through as this has been. We
think the probability of men lying is
about hundred to one to the proba
bility of their committing such atroe
tiles as are reported"

EXTENSION OF CIVIL SERVICE
RULBs.-The president has extended
the civil service law and rules to the
internal revenue service. This new
extension, we learn from a Washing
ton dispatch, does not include deputy
collectors of whom there are $685. but
applies to 519 storekeepers, SIS gan
gers, 1. 100 storekeeper gaugers and 156
clerks in the offices of collectors. the
order goes into immediate effect. The
field in which the spoils huuter can
ply his vocation is every day becoming
more limited. There may be some lit

civil service system, but as the people
begin to realize how much more eff

ing only $3.50 for the remainder OF the

for 2, COZ shares in the total sales. There
were no new Developments 10 account
for the rise, which was generally at
tributed to the efforts Of a short interest
