PLAIN WORDS FROM THE PULPIT

Timely Sermon In the New Castle
NJ. Il. Churrh-It Created Some Sur
\ prise Among Those who Heard II.
Special Correspondence ofGnzetre and journal
NEW CASTLE, Nov. H. Yesterday
morning the Rev. Mr.. Collins of the NJ.
E. Church, took as his text jeremiah
VI, ID: "rhey have healed also the hurt
OF the daughter Of my people slightly,
saying, peace, peace;' when there Is no
peace" The sermon, which was given
without notes, was great surprise to
his congregation, and after church the
members were seen to go along the
street with solemn faces, discussing
what they had heard. Mr.. Collins spoke
of the recent election and questioned
what 1t meant, and what results were to
be obtained from the same. He said the
Republicans claimed that tho people
were tired of the Democratic rule, Willie
the Democrats claim 1t was money, and
money it was. Bribery, fraud and cor
ruption right among and by those who
were supposed to be the pillars of the
church. They were told that it was a
terrible thing for men who wilfully
stand up in the church and ask Of God
to help them in the temperance cause to
go hand in hand with those who are
against temperance with money deals
and brides. He also told them it was a
great sorrow to talk to them this way,
but 1t was the truth, and if they did not
like it he would preach it, as it was lis
duty to do so. and he would point out
to them their duty as Christians in
politics.

Joe Patchen, 2.04, paced mile over a

Thursday, in 200.
Banquet started in 90 races this year,
winning 10 tirsts, eight seconds, two

He won in purses about $4,000.
E. Payson Weston, who recently COM
ploted 500-mile walk, bias been chal-
lenged to six day go-as-you-ple
contest for wager of $500 by Henry
Schmehl of Chicago. Weston names
Newark, N. j., while Schmehl insists
on Chicago as the place of contest.
The S600-point 14,inch balk line bill

Lord Dunraven's letter to the New
York Yacht Club, which caused such a
furry in yachting circles last week,
when boiled down, simply asks that Il
challenge be accepted under the condi-
tons that governed the Vigllant-Val-
kyrie races, with but two notifications.
The first of these is that the yachts be
measured with the crews on board, and
that the crews be limited. This request
will, in all probability, be granted. The
other modification is that all dead-to-
windward and leeward races be started
to windward first.

SHERMAN,S SOBER WORDS.

He Does Sot Regard the Result of the
Recent Elections as an Endorsement oi
the Mckinley Tarifr--Not in Favor of u
Great Increase of Duties.
Senator Sherman in Now York World.
The landslide that has given the Re-
publicans control of the House by an
overwhelming majority and, perhaps,
the Senate by small majority, is SO
widespread that believe the cause was
widespread. 1t has seemed to me to be
protest against the acts of the Demo-
Gratis since they have been in power and
return to the Republicans.
However, | am not inclined to claim
that the victory will be permanent. The
people may become as displeased with
the Republicans before many years and
administer to them as crushing defeat
as they have administered to the Demo-
Gratis this year. l would certainly not
attempt to forecast what is to come of
this revolution.
The people punished the Republicans
in 1890 and 1893, and now they have
changed. To say they cannot or are not
likely to turn back again is to make a
stronger statement than would care to
venture.
do not regard the present result as
an Endorsement of the Mckinley bill or
u demand on the part of the people for
radical tpriff legislation. There will
undoubtedly be some members who will
regard it as such, but hardly believe
the party will enter into any extreme
legislation Of this kind.
or course they cannot do it during
the next session of Congress, because
the President would not allow anything
of that nature to become law, and the
effort would prove fruitless.
| would not favor any great increase
of duties. On the stump in the cam
paign l said very plainly that l was q
moderate protectionist, and wanted only
such duties as would insure a fair rate
of wages for the workingmen of this
country.
Some protectionists would have
foreign goods absolutely excluded by
high tariff. do not believe in this, as
it would give u monopoly to our home
manufacturers and bring on contests be-
tween capital and labor. i believe in so
Ilacing the duties as to allow healthy
foreign competition. II l should see
that any duty was making monopoly
l would take that duty off.
The Republicans went to an extreme
on the question in 1890 because they
had absolute control of all branches of
the government. If there had been any
check they would not have done SO. In
the same way the Democrats went to an
extreme in this Congress.
There will probably be an effort to
pass the smaller tariff bills at the short
session, but that would raise great OPP
position, and believe will be futile.
That will probably be the last of the
tariff agitation fer time.
! do not know exactly what to think
Of the result of this election as it bears
ON the silver question. believe the
silver sentiment has grown much
stronger in the West and South, but in
the East generally, and in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Illinois in particular, it is
much weaker than it was either in 1890
or 1892. What bearing this may have on
the campaign for President in 1896 |
could not say, as never attempt to
make any prophecy in politics.

THE HEArHEN oYChEE.



Which wish to remark
And my language IS plain
That to ride in the dark
In cart-rutted lane,
When you really don't know how to cycle.
Is both modification and pain.
The machine was not new.
But was hired by the day,
And the girl, it is true
Had forgotten the way
To ride without help OH cycle
Which accounts for all what I've to say.
Twas October the third,
And quite dark were the skies
(Which | think 1t absurd,
And extreme enterprise
To fall on and off of a cycle,
When you're told that You need exercise).
Which we helped her to mount,
And stood one on each side,
And before we could count
Up to seven, she'd tried
To run us both down, and to kill us,
Although she'd declared she could ride
In the mud and the dirt
She rolled frequent and free,
And my feelings were hurt
AT the way she blamed mel
II you've once taught girl how to cycle,
I'm sure you'll commiserate me.
But the work that she made
With that wretched machine
Il am sure that she weighed
About twelve stone thirteen)
Was too dreadful thing to be published,
And the shockingest sight that I've seen!
And looked up at Nye
AS she fell over ME;
And he said with sigh,
What a fool she must be
It's another Internal New Woman p'
And he sorted us out, swearing free.
In the scene that ensued
We both stood on one side,
But the lane it was strewed,
Like the straws OH the tide.
With dress-hooks and buttons and hair
pins,
Ashley fell from that girl who could ride!
In her skirt, which was long,
She made twenty-four rents
Which was coming it strong
But she hadn't much sense,
And she ran into bitches and hedges,
And collapsed at last under fence.
Which is why l remark
And my language is plain
That to ride in the dark
In q cart.rutted lane,
When you really don't know how to cycle,
Is both modification and pain.

FRANKFORT, Nov. 1.-THE Diamond
Tray and Basket Co. of this place are

you believe, that if the ring is all it is
pretended to be the giver's character is
like it. The originator of that theory
has never been discovered. The disciples
are legion.
The salesman in question was ap-

"Show him yours, dear" Blushingly
she took off her glove and slipped a
sparkling ring from her engagement
finger.
II want to get one exactly like that.
How much will it cost?"
The salesman looked at the ring, and
the girl watched him as bravely as she
could. He recognized it as one he had
sold to Mr.. Blank a few days before.

handed the ring back to the daughter
