DUMPING GROUND OF 0FFAL.
Rev. MIR. Malvern, Roger Williams
Church, on the Gambling Law.

Rev. MIR. Malvern, Roger Williams
Church, on the Gambling Law.
On Sunday evening Rev. Mr.. Malvern
OF the Roger Williams Church spoke from
Luke xix:41. "And when He was come
near He beheld the city and wept over it,"
Christ had more than human knowledge,
as He looked over that city, and hence we
learn the value of His tears. They were
not the sudden outburst of emotion, but
the sequel Of the vision He had of its i'm
pending doom, and His infinite love for
its welfare.
Jerusalem sinners had utterly refused
the salvation he had for three years con-
tinually proffered them, and had become
incorrigible. Their cup Of iniqrity was
full. Their doom was sealed.
"I know that 1t is considered effeminate
and silly to weep, but 1 know also that
the most heroic OF Bible characters prove
that weeping belongs to true manliness
no less than TO true womaniiness."
You lind no more manly man In the Old
Testament than jeremiah; neither do you
find one more manly In the New than the
apostle Paul. Think OF the tears they
shed when they saw the terrible deceitful-
ness OF sin. But our Lords tears not only
the deepest human sensibility; but the
love of Divine Savior---a compassion in
finite.
He is the same pitying Savior today.
II he had not loved that city, he had not
wept.
Have we, as His followers, this feeling
for those in sin?
There are sig hts In this city that might
ba ha
men. the degradation of women, the de-
grafton OF little boys and girls, and worst
OF all, the degradation of law. Those in
authority seem to have no feeling in the
matter.
II they can handle other peoples money,
IL their tables are well supplied with ali
the luxuries, what care they for our child
rem, our youth, our homes or for the
prostit -tion OF law? Not a fig.
They shed no tears over the ruin they
are causing
Our Lawmakers are the law breakers.
Crime in high life has been made TO as
sumo the form OF law.
Shining Is legalized. 81
The worst forms of vice have been taken
under the protection OF the authorities.
Drinking and gambling have the pro-
lection virtue ought to have, but fails to
receive.
A Legislature that makes our fair city
the dumping ground of New York offal
must be base indeed.
A law that will take a poor fellow TO
prison II he happens Go ask the right per-
son for a little help, and compels us TO
open the city gates TO welcome the horees
of robbers and villains whose sole busi-
ness is to fleece the people, has its origin
in the dark shades OF a pit.
IL was bad enough before. but how
much worse has IL become since the arms
of the law have been thrown around the

AB0UNDING tNIQUITY.
Rev. James X. Ever, Union Baptist
Church, on the Gambling Law.

Rev. James X. Ever, Union Baptist
Church, on the Gambling Law.
Rev. James X. Ever Of the Union Bap-
tist Church preached to a large audience
Sunday evening from the text in Matt.
xiv, 1918, " Because iniquity shall
abound, the love OF many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved
"Christ," he said, "was far-sighted. He
saw the destruction OF the Temple. He
saw the cause or causes OF its fall. The
destruction OF the Jewish nation He saw
clearly to be national sin. The same Is
true now. His words in the text apply to
cities, states and nations. They apply
To us.
81. We have three abounding iniquities
in Rhode Island. The first Is the saloon.
Ii is opposed TO the Church, the Sunday
School, the home, society, Law and order,
peace, purity and prosperity. IL ought
TO go because IL Is an enemy of all right
eousness. Anot her abounding iniquity
is corruption In municipal politics. Bad
men get into power. The saloon, in many
cases, makes the nominations and good
men vote them in. We ought TO put
honest men into Office. A third abound
ing iniquity is the unjust and
unrighteous gambling law. Care
lessness and bad men made
this law possible. 1t has brought disgrace
upon the State and turned the town OF
Cranston into a cess pool OF iniquity. 1t
mas in its operations shocked the sensi-
bilities of good men and has insulted the
Christian sentiment of the State.
"2. What shall we do about 1t?
"First,we ought to possess a firm faith In
the possibilities of good government
Good men should rally. Men OF principle
should come to the front. No pat
riot should be afraid to show his
colors. The integrity Of Providence
should govern Providence. The honesty
and stalwart manhood of Rhode Island
should rule the State. We want no for
eign Intervention. Fill your Legislature
with men who have 'clean hands and a
pure heart We ought, in the next place,
TO make strong protest against all prev
alent evils. The pulpit should be Protes-
tant. 1 am glad that the ministers
OF Christ all over the State are
dealing death blows at the gambling law.
Think its death knell is sounding. Let
the pew stand by the pulpit in this thing
and we shall get this great iniquity on
the run. The next thing we need to do is
to avail ourselves of all opportunities for
Improvement. We have the right of
petition. Let us not surrender 1t nor
neglect It,"
AT the close of the service the petition
was circulated and many signatures OBJ
tanned.

The sooner the voters OF this common

"Let us pass laws, IL we must, to protect
mad dogs, to introduce scarlet fever, to
nurture diphtheria, but let us not permit
our State TO be debauched and destroyed
by protecting the liquor-seller, the de-
bauchee, and the gambler" (Here the
preacher gave n vivid description of
gamblers life, from life.)
Contagious diseases have their limit,
but there Is no limit to the terrible re-
suits OF these fearful crimes.
Oh, when will the Christian public rise in
the might of the Christian spirit and
rescue our city and State from thu fearful
doom impending?
To those who know the awful facts in
the case it is enough to produce tears.
Between Jerusalem and Providence l
know there is a contrast. Hundreds of
honest, earnest Christians are doing some
thing to avert the dreaded calamity that
must come IL Satan and his hosts are al
lowed to continue their rule.
No decent person would dare to live in
Providence were it not for this redeeming
feature. Christianity will be heard,
Our children, our youth, our homes
must be protected.
When, like our Master, we begin to
weep over the condition of things a
change will come. When feeling shall
take the place of indifference the
calamity will be averted.
Now is the day of salvation. Let us act
like men and stamp this infamous law
beneath our feet.

There will probably be surfeit Of

too good to be missed. The day that
Secretary Carlisle decided to release
Morton's s coachman, John Shriver, COR
respondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star, was over in the treasury building
talking with Van Sender, Carlisle's
private secretary. They mixed their
conversation up with politics, and final

the bet. and two crisp So bills were put
in tho hands of r.. j. Wypne
After retiring from the secretary's
room Wynne said: Johnny, what did
you make bet of that kind for? He
has got two chances at you. If Howard
is sent back, you lose, or if Hill is elect
cd you lose."

Shriver. Il only bet him to find ont

seems that Van Senden had not been
taken into the confidence of the secre-
tary upon recent decision, and it was
on the cards to deport Howard when he
had last been informed. Now il remains
to be seen whether Howard will really
perform this duty, upon which Shriver
has riskod his money, when Governor
Morton rides up to be- inaugurated. IL
Is claimed that influence will be brought
to bear which will enable the versatile

KEEP OUT OF JAIL.

The following section from the Pri.
mary Election Law in the Annotated
Code of 1892, is very pertinent at this
time:
SEC. 3274. FRAUDULENT VoTING, ETC.
If any voter having participated in
one party primary, shall vote or at
tempt to vote in different party pri-
mary election held for similar pur-
pose, during the same political cam
paign, he shall be guilty of fraudulent
voting, and, on conviction, shall be
punished in the same manner and to
the same extent as if he had voted lille
gally in general election. And if any
voter, having voted once in his prima
ry election, shall vote or attempt to
vote second time in the same cleo
ton, at the same or at a different poll,
he shall be liable to prosecution be-
fore justice of the peace, or indict-
ment by grand jury, and, upon con-
viction, shall be fined not less than ten
dollars nor more than fifty dollars for
each offense, and shall stand commit
ted to the county Jail until the fine
and costs are paid
By this it will be seen that persons
who participate and vote in the prima-
ry election or meetings of one party
are debarred, under penalty, from par
ticipating in the same year in the pri-
mary of another party.

DEMOCRAT AND POPULIST-A CON-
TRAST.

The closing sentence of Hon. Jas. K.
Vardaman's card withdrawing from
the gubernatorial race, more than rec
onciles us to the thought that he is
not to occupy the Governors chair:
He says: "Would that my party were
always right in all things, but, right or
acrong, 1 am for mig party"
This upholding of party, "rTght or
rcrong,' is characteristic of the latter
day politician, and is what has brought
upon the people most of their finan-
cial and political troubles. The senti-
ment expressed by Mr.. Vardaman is
in marked contrast to that expressed
by Mr.. Jas. c. Hathorn, on the same
day, when he was nominated for Rep
resentatiye by the Peoples party OF
Lawrence county. Mr.. Hathorn said:
II can never subscribe to that senti-
ment my party-may it ever be right
but, right or wrong, my party Rear
ed Democrat, and loving the true
principles of democracy from boyhood,
/ left that party when l saw it was
false to it's principles and the people,
and l tell you here today / will be
found ready to leave the Peoples par
ty, if the time should ever come when
/ must choose between doing what /
believe to be right and following that
party to do wrong. | will never follow
any party which will not deal honest
ly with my people and do right, as /
see it,"
All honor, say we, to Mr.. Hathorn.
Give us more such men.
