TIE NEW SILVER PARTY.

The project for the formation Of a new
silver party is one that will attract wide atten-
tion throughout the country. In the present
state Of political chaos the time is opportune
for bringing before the people the live issues
furnished by unsolyed financial problems. 1t
is improbable that during the next few wears
the taIi1 question viii widely diferentiate
the two great parties, for the Democratic
party viii shortly so out Of power in Con-
gress, and the Republican party. according TO
the statements of its leaders, viii not under
take any tariff legislation radical enough to
excite serious opposition.
Meantime the financial system Of the gov
ernment demands the earnest attention Of
Congress and the people. The financial ques-
tioR is one that viii not down until il is set
tied, and settled right. Itis the vital political
question Of the times. 1t is bound to grow in
Importance and in the estimation of the
people. 1t is, therefore, the best possible
issue upon which TO base the formation Of a
new party.
Whether the particular project now before
the public viii prove successful, or whether
It shall prove deserving Of such, are quite
other matters, and outside the relevance and
importance Of the financial question. That is
bound to come to the front, anyhow, even
should the projectors Of the new silver party
fail in their effort.

SOME ANCIENT BIBLE LORE.
Interesting Historical Lecture By Rev. DR..
Elliott at Ascension Church.

Interesting Historical Lecture By Rev. DR..
Elliott at Ascension Church.
A most interesting and instructive lecture
was delivered last evening at the Church Of
the Ascension by the rector. Rev. S. H. Eli
OFT, D. D. His subject was 1.-THE earliest
harmony of the Gospels" published about
A. D. l6O, and recently recovered. Tie lee
ture was preceded by the impressive and
picturesque choral and ritualstic eventide
service of the Episcopal Church.
In 1886, said DR.. Elliott. the manuscript
copy of the last Harmony of Italian of tue
Gospels came into the light. 1t consisted of
355 leaves. Each page is almost nine inc hes
by six and one-quarter, and has eleven lines
Of writing, inclosed by gold, blue and red
The first eighIy-hve leaves are occupied bY
preface by an anonymous author. The Har-
mony itself begins at leaf 96 and extends TO
leaf 353. note at the beginning and end
plainly asserts that 1t is Saliaus Datessaron.
1t was found in Egypt and was written in
Arabic, having been translated from the
original Syriac. After having been trans
lated into Latin, II now appears in English,
most carefully edited and published by T.
and L. Clark, Edinburg. 1t comes to US from
remote period, about A. d. 160 At that
time the empire Of Rome Was about 1000
miles in breadth, from north 10 south. Ii eX-
tended in length more than 5000 miles. and
was supposed 10 contain almost 900 900,
square miles and about 10. .000,0 600 Of people,
The state was prosecuting the church. and
the church through persecution was making
progress toward the overthrow of the very
throne that was prosecuting It.
Italian was an Assyrian by birth. at first a
heather in religion. sophist by profession,
he Travelled far and wide over the Roman en-
pire in the exercise OF his profession. He was
at first an eager student OF heather INT IteT.ture
and seems 10 have been especially devoted 10
speculatlOns in philosophy. But he found 10
satisfaction in the bewildering mazes of
Greek speculation. willie ne became utterly
disguised with Nn., hcs.henism presented TO
him under the name religion. He became
converted 10 Christianity ami after his con-
version wrote an address to the Greeks 10
persuade them 10 embrace tile Gospel. which
IN difference 10 Greek prejudice be called the
barbarian philosophy.
Turning 10 the Harmonies it is most interest
ing 10 find that as TO its contents it contains
only the four Gospels, without the introduc-
ton or anything not found in them to-day.
II contains the whole of each Gospel with only
three considerable exceptions. The geneai-
ogies are omitted aud we are expressly told
that Italian purposely left them out Taiian
also left out the FIRST twelve verses of the
eighth cnapter OF ST. Johns Gospel He also
omitted the first four verses OF the preface of
81. Luke With these three exceptions You
will find every part OF Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John greeting you aF familiar friends.
DR.. Elliott then gave a minute and highly
interesting history OF Italian and the Har-
monies.

Several Saturday nights have passed and
Howard TuxsoI has not brought any money

occurred last Saturday night, and the sus-
picious wife decided to find out where Howard
was spending his money. She followed him
to house at Thirteen-and-a- half street and
Ohio avenue and there found him, as she
suspected. having jolly time drinking with
another woman.
The aggrieved wife leaped upon her rival,
and 4 severe struggle followed in when the
husband joine Mrs TuXsOn had "A razor
with which she carved her husbands face
and the other woman fastened her teeth IN
Mrs Tuxson's left hand. The fight was go
ing merrily on when some one cried out that
the police were coming.
The combatants separated and fed in diff
ferent directions with Sergt. Acton and Po-
liceman Finther in pursuit One ran after
the wife and the other after the husband.
while t'other charmer escaped. After Il hard
sprint both were caught and brought TO the
Twelfth street station.
Tuxson was bleeding from several cuts
bitten hand. from which the blood dripped
over the floor.

REPUBLICAN, INC DERsTIoE." "

One Of the strongest evidences of the utter
downfall of McKinleyism in the United States
may be found in the cautious utterances Of
Republican leaders respecting the future
policy Of their party on the tariff question.
Here, for instance, is Senatar Lodge. actu-
ally advocating, in his Boston speech, a
moderate, conservative policy, such as viii
commend itself TO the "new recruits who
came TO US from the Democratic party in this
election" This is as far from McKinleyism
as anything can be- No true McKinleyite
could brook any sort Of policy that would
commend itself to Democrats, and especially
moderate and conservative" action in tariff
legislation.
Perhaps Senator Lodges programme may
not be followed by the Republican majority
in the next Congress, inasmuch as that ma
iority is so large that it may run away with
its leaders, but it is pretty certain that there
viii be no Congressional slump toward Nc
Kinleyism. These are the days when the
moderate and conservative protectionist
is the sort Of protectionist who is popular.

Anti-SaIoon Detectives Say the Law is Be-

Establishments did rushing business in intoxi-

to the orgies until nearly daylight yesterday
morning.
Anot her place was ''spotted" where beer was
served in cups as cold tea, and it is more
than probable that several warrants will be
issued as a result OF the investigation.
The League has also been informed that

foulest condition imaginable.
On Saturday night the womand Annie
Sweeney was locked up about midnight. and
was literally stiff with cold when removed
yesterday morning about 10 o'clock by the
patrol wagon in response to an imperative
call of Sergt. Kirby, who dared keep her no

matron at the suh-station, and this woman's
cell was in filthy condition when she was
removed.
The boy Charles Hunt was seen at the sta
tion last evening by the reporter. He had
been provided with an officers oyercoat and
lay hudded in corner least exposed to the
cold wind that poured in through the barred
window. His teeth were chattering and he
was stamping his feet to keep warm. This
was at $50 O'Clock, and he had been locked
in the cell since O'Clock. He was waiting
for the Fifth precinct patrol, which was ex-
pected about O'Clock, to remove him.

Rev. Alexander Kent is usually very exact
and accurate in his statements, but he made
a slight mistake yesterday when, in his dis
course, he stated that all newspapers sold
their opinions. he failed 10 perceive any diff
ference. he said, between the venality of such
newspapers and that Of the men who sell their

fDr Kent viii pardon US for correcting

sell their opinions. In fact. no honest news
paper does. When a newspapers opinions
are for sale, the people soon discover the
transaction, and the opinions then influence
no one and become unmarketable commodi-
ties.
The wide-awske, honest newspaper has
nothing to sell except its news and advertis-
ing space. Any other policy may thrive for
awhile, but will not prosper in the long run.
The opinion-selling newspaper goes up like a

United STATES As MEDIATOR.

President Cleveland is to be doubly COM
mended for his action towards the beliger-
ents in the East; first, that he refused to join
the European powers in the proposed inter
vention between China and Japan: second.
that he has rendered his services as mediator
TO these two nations.
In pursuing the course indicated the Presi-
foreign policy Of the United States. He de-

force or compulsion. but, on the contrary,
tenders the good Offices of the United States
for the restoration OF peace between two ma
tions with whom our diplomatic relations are
on an entirely friendly footing.
The Intervention of European powers in
any Eastern quarrel generally means the ac-
QUESTION Of individual advantages by the in
terveners at the expense Of those supposed to
be benefited. England. Russia. and France
have interests in different parts OF Asia that
can always be subserved by the addition Of a
slice OF territory, or the granting OF some spe-
cial privileges. The intervention of the Eu-
ropean powers, therefore, does not proceed
from any specially philanthropic, humane, or
pacific purpose, but is instigated by a selfish
desire to reap some sort OF advantage from it.
Il Is quite different with the United States

sists OF over 500 medals, jetons and coins in

tion of Alessandro Castellani. which was sold
at the Hotel Druot, Paris, in 1884 These art

LAURA.

Where the purple hills lie sleeping,
Beneath the autumn shade,
And the trees are sadly weeping
Their tribute DER the glade;
There / laid my lovely Laura
In days so long ago,
When my heart was fun OF sorrow
AS the mountains full Of snow.
I've tried oft to forget her
IN the whirl of busy life,
But the more do / regret her
In my round of daily strife;
And when evening shadows lower
Ger the purple mills afar,
] recall the lonely hour
When / lost my polar star.
Yet, the day is surely coming
When we'll clasp with magic might,
Where the angel choirs are humming-
In the bright celestial light
Where the waters ever sparkle
On that bright, eternal shore,
And our hearts win never darkle,
But shall love forever more.
