THE GREAT DEBATE

! s5 William ii. Harvey, author Of Coins
Financial School" and ex-C Congressman
Roswell g. Horr, fformerly Of Michigan
but now OF New York, began their ten
days discussion IN chicago on Tuesday
last upon the question Of the currency.
The arguments are being chiefly Gon-
fined to the statements set forth in .Har-
[yey's book, Horr unfolding the side %
the gold standard men and Harvey main.
taining that Of the silver men, Both
men are well equipped for the llndertak-
I ing and are proceeding with their work
ID manner to elicit the utmost inter
est and applause. .3st NJ
Each side addresses j, 900 words to the
other, with a rest Of three minutes, the
debate occupying three hours IL day
The Judges are Solicitor General Of the
United States Charles n. Aldrich and
Henry Miller. The arguments Of both
sides meet with favor among their srespec-
tive adherents and what the decision
will be is difficult to determine as vet. |
Harvey undoubtedly scoredsa point when
he said Il s. 5:1s III ss g
IT want to call attention to the fact that
for several years our side has claimed that
silver was fixed in vi 1892 as the unit d
value, continuing to 1873, as strenuously
denied by the other side; denied BY the
other side to such an extent that they
went to the trouble in this city Of getting
an ex-judge, an associate Of bankers, to
render an ex-parte opinion that silver
was not fixed by the act Of 1892 as the
unit OF values and telegraphed that optn-
ion all over the country, and It was re-
ported in the newspapers editorially all
over the country and a professor in q
university that is built with money
lenders capital, wrote articles published
in the Times-H Herald denying that silver
was made the unit of value in 1892, and
these articles were copied in their friend
ly papers all over the country. And now
we come face to face with the other side,
they do not care to mislead; and in. the
first joint debated question in this CON
troversy they are forced by the truth to
admit that 371M grains Of silver was fixed
as the unit Of values (applause) by the act
Of 1892 and remained such to 1873.

cnRIsT's SECOND cor1INd.

A new religious sect has made its APP
pearance. Al present it is arranging to
hold a two days convention in Pittsburg
in order, 1t is supposed, to learn where
the members are at One Of them says
they are not classed as cranks, but it Is
only matter Of time till they arrive
at that distinction f.. "a I.
The religious ideas entertained are
that thousand years before the final
Judgment Christ will come personally to
the earth and inaugurate his kingdom
Of Righteousness. At that time there
will be resurrection Of all the religious
dead, The resurrection of the wicked
will not take place until the end Of the
thousand years and then the final judg-
sment will be held Whether the Lord
will remain on earth during the millen-
3ial period they do not pretend to say,
Some Of the devotees were asked what
was in store for the righteous and what
would become Of the wicked and the
answer was that they did not know. Up to
the present their Investigations had not
reached that point. What has been writ
ten concerning these things they do not
understand, they assert, and this state
ment has the merit of truth as well as Of
frankness. These and other things will
be settled when they meet in solemn con-
claye in Pittsburg. Affairs in the great
beyond are comparatively obscure as yet
but when the learned doctors get to-
gether and talk the matter over they will
no longer see as through q glass darkly.
1t is given out that they arc all clear as
to the correctness Of the position on
which they have declared themselves
and there is some comfort in that, for
had their minds been in a state Of con-
fusion upon matters EXPLICITLY set forth
as doctrine the outside world might be
somewhat skeptical about the truth 81
their position on matters which they
declared they knew nothing. sts

LIVING TOO FAST

Ex-senator Thurman. the cold Ro-
man. Of Ohio, viii be 81 years Of age ii
November next, should he live until that
L date, which seems soneyhat doubtful. He
is feeble, childish, and requires the ut

reminds one that Gladstone and other
European statesmen and men engaged In
different public duties are considerably
older than Mr.. Thurman and vet Glad
