LOVE.

Professor Drummond In "The Greatest
Thing In the World"
The spectrum of love has nine
ingredients: patience, kindness,
generosity, humility, courtesy, un-
selfshness, good temper, guileless-
ness, sincerity; these make up the
supreme gift, the statue OF the
perfect man. You will observe that
all are in relation to men, in relation
to life, in relation to the known
to day and the near to-morrow, and
not to the unknown eternity. We
hear much of love to God; Christ
spoke much of love to man. We
make great deal Of peace with
heaven; Christ made much of peace
on earth. Religion is not strange
or added thing, but the inspiration Of
the secular life, the breathing of an
eternal spirit through this temporal
world. The supreme thing, In short,
Is not thing at all, but the giving Of
further finish to the multitudinous
words and acts which make up the
sum OF every common day.

HALL AND THE INCOME TAX.

HALL AND THE INCOME TAX.
After six weeks spent in his dis
trict, Representative Hall, (dem.
Mo- one of those most in favor of
the income tax feature of the tariff
bill, is giving his attention to the
changes which the senate finance
committee has wrought in the income
tax.
81 have gone over the senate bill
carefully" SAID Mr.. Hail." and | find
that the changes effected are of
detail and not of substance. The
senators have recognized the essen
tial principle of the measure, that
men shall bear the tax burden ac-
cording to their wealth. With that
recognized as a government principle
and policy, the main change made
by the senate is in limiting its oper-
ations to five years. All income
taxes are temporary when first
enacted, but when once in force they
become permanent. England's in
come tax was temporary at first, but
it has been continued for years.
Germany and Italy have both had
the same experience. So that we
can feel confident in accepting an
income tax limited to five years that
it will be permanently engrafted
upon our laws by the time the law
expires.
"The detail changes made by the
the senate have rather improved
it. The change of the corporation
tax from per cent tax on the
dividends to 2 per cent on the
profits over operating expenses is
an improvement of language, but
is no change of substance. The
exemption of all building and loan
associations is little too broad.
l was in favor of an exemption to
such associations doing a business
at home, but not to big concerns
doing an interstate business. The
latter are speculative corporations
and ought to be taxed, while the
local concerns secure homes fol
the laboring men and ought to be
exempted.
"Taken as whole, however
the senate bill will be thoroughly
Tsatisfactory to the friends of al
income tax. am absolutely positive
of its passage by congress and it,

am free to say that ! will carry
on the contest until the law il
made permanent and the policy o
the government is established tina
wealth pays the tax burdens il
proportion to the protection 1t re
ceives."

BRIBERY COMMITTEE REPORTS.

The special senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges
of attempted senatorial bribery on
the part of Charles w. Buttz sub
mitted their report to the senate.
Buttz is found by the committee to
have made the attempt at bribery
despite his denial, and Senators
Hunton and Kyle are exonerated
from all blame. The report says:
There is no evidence to show the truth
OF Mr.. Buttz's statement to Senator Kyle
and to Mr.. Eppa Hunton, Jr., that a
syndicate OF bankers and capitalists had
raised sum OF money to be used for the
purpose OF defeating the pending tariff
bill, or that there was an agent OF such a
syndicate in Washington, or that any
money was in Washinton for that pur-
pose. Buttz denied that he made any
such statement, or that he had or has
any knowledge of the existence Of such a
syndicate, or that he was the agent or
representative OF anyone. He further
denies that he had any money himself.

CHANGES IN JURIES.


Very quietly in several parts of
the United States changes in our jury
system are in progress. One state
has discarded the grand jury, and
others have given up requiring
unanimous verdicts in civil cases,
being satisfied with the agreement of
three fourths or two thirds Of the
jury. The advantage of this is that
decisions are reached more quickly,
while the evidence is fresh in mind,
and the expense of second trials is
more frequently avoided, while
justice is quite as likely to be at
tanned. In Louisiana they are even
considering the application of this
change to criminal cases. Further
reforms are proposed in the line of
increasing the comfort Of jurors, SO
that citizens will not be so anxious
to evade this important duty. The
most important change, when it is
carried out, will be the appointment
OF juries of experts in cases where
technical knowledge is needed, az,
for example, in murder trials, where
the knowledge of chemistry and of
medicine is frequently required in
order to pass anything like an ac-
curate judgment upon the testimony
and evidence. This jury of experts
may be supplementary to the jury as
at present constituted.

THE NEED OF LOVE.

@. II. Parkhurst, d. d.
There Is nothing thatsthe poor and
degraded need SO much as they do
love. They need love more than
they do money; IL we give them less
gold and more affection, they would
be better of In heart, mind, and
estate. - Love Is the redeeming
element; love is the pith Of the gos-
pei, the axis on which all turns.
And men grow surprisingly lovable
as soon as we begin to love them.
And we shall find in people Just as
much heart as we have the heart to
find in them. As soon a. We begin
in Christisnlike way to love people,
We shall discover that they love to
be loved. They are In our power, II
our power u heart power.

training stable for athletes. In this
wise decision he has the hearty
sympathy Of every right thinking
man In tho land. A strong hand is

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY CONTROL.
The question of theological semi

assembly of the Northern Presby-

By vote of almost four to one
the report of the majority of the
committee that considered the matter
was adopted. The report provides
for gaining the power and right to
approve the appointments of pro
fessors and directors, and asks the
directors of the seminary to declare
q trust in favor of the Presbyterian
church which the general assembly
may enforce in the civil courts.
At the same time a committee il
provided which shall confer and
advise with the seminaries and seek
to gain their consent to the proposed
plan. The report was put through
the assembly in spite of urgent
requests for delay and in the face o
protests from those who desired thai
the church and the institution
might be consulted.

The republic of the United States

when, in 1889, it agreed to establish

king, too, whom many of the Sa-
means hate, and are constantly
rebelling againt. The recent distur-
Dances have emphasized the peculiar

to seek the sole control of the Islands
and that an attempt will be made to
arrange a British protectorate, the
islands being annexed to New Iea =
