JOSEpHUs is REBUKED.
Rev. G. Durham Sends the Truth
Home.
HIS LETTER rs DESTROYED.

The Raleigh Minister Having
Been Requested BY the Editor
Of the News 4 Observer to
Write his Views, Writes Them.
Nothing Of recent happening
has more clearly shown the des-
peration Of the democratic party
and its disposition to catch at
straws-anything out Of which
it could make capital against the
populists--than the manufactured
thunder which the leaders of the
forlorn hope have attempted to
make Of a reckless remark Of DR..
Cy Thompson at the alliance pic
mic al Carey some weeks ago.
The RECORDER, like the rest Of
newspaper readers in North Caro-
lima, Is heartily tired Of all the
senscless and inane platitndes
which have filled the columns of
the democratic press and for
which Dr.. Thompson's alleged re-
mark las furnished the text.
But now that the question has
grown to such proportions We
think it proper to keep history
straight BY giving both sides
that Of the church and the press.
Under date of Sept. 18th, Jo-
sephus Daniels. Of the News Il
Observer, wrote to Rev. c. Dur
ham, a prominent Baptist minis
ter Of Raleigh, asking his views
on the subject with the intention
Of publishing. In compliance
with his request, Mr.. Daniels re-
ceired the following:
JosEPHUs DANIELS, Editor,
Raleigh. N. c.,
Dear Sir:-Your letter has
Just been received.
You will, therefore, / suppose,
allow me, without any thought
of discourtesy to you or DR..
Thompson, toreply just as | feel
the occasion demands.
/. l do not know what you
and DIR. Thompson call "the
Church." and am of the opin.
ion that neither OF you know
what you mean by it.
+. 2. Whether DR.. Thompson's
condemnations of the Church
will do more TO "bring the
Church into disrepute" than
your defence of il in "the News
& Observer will do, is, per
haps, an open question.
3 Ii is true, / think, that
the clergy, II by the clergy you
mean the preachers in the vari-
GUS religious denominations in
the state, do not need 10 be told
by the News a. Observer what
they should "rebuke."
4. Il is doubtless a matter Of
supreme indifference to most
right minded people who take
the Bible for their guide, what
you or DR.. Thompson think, or
say, or write and print upon
this subject. .
5. The man who, in an ad.
dress to the people of North
Carolina, declares ''the Church
to day stands where il always
stood, on the side of human
slavery and not on the side Of
human liberty" and then in a
three column explanation does
not define what he means by

Knoxville, Tenn. Tribunc.l
II may be all right to build big
churches-costly structures-finish
them inside with plush and velvet,
have grand music and many ush-
ers,and sell pews high for cash
but somehow or other it was al
ways my opinion that Christ at
tempted to teach humility. He
rodean ass from Jerusalem and he
never attempted to hold a meeting
in Solomon's palace or the temple,
although God had been given the
wonderful building from Solomon
las his oSn earthly house. We
see today, to my mind, too much
style for religion, as we would read
r,ligion in the New Testament.
The poor man feels his poverty.
Say whatever you want, but a
rugged coat oran out-of.style dress
makes man or woman feel that
they are uncomfortable. They do
not want to appear in public in
such garments-that is, in the
fashionable public, where there is
50 much purple and fine linen.
Accordingly the person who
should hear the teaching of Ch-ist
discussed listen TO the voice Of God
as read by the ordained one from
the holy book, never have that op-
portunity these days while the rich
and well-to-do--those who know
what is right and have no press
ing need TO sin--seem to go in
for style and fashion in the church
the same as they do in the ball
room. The church of today, no
matter how fastidious it may grow,
will always WELD an influence for
good; it upholds aud teaches the
moral law: it is a restraint against
evil and a wonderful help for
gOod-but, as ! was saying, it seems
to me il could be improved if it
would humble itself a little more
and come down to a level where
all the neighbors could 60. In
the architecture of churches now
adays there seems to be the same
desire-one TO outdo the other.
There is enough money thrown
away in the building ofspires and
domes and new tangled roofs in
the churches Of America today
10 build houses for a colony of
$4,000 people who have been shiv-
ering in their novels. II is all
wrong, to my way Of thinking,
but as the majority Of those who
build them and pay for them diff
fer, Of course il is none Of my
business; yet a fellow likes TO
speak his mind occasionally, even
IL he knows he is making a fool Of
himself. Let the poor man and
woman have u chance 10 worship
God. Have a temple Of worship
where they will not feel strangely
out of place and where they will
feel welcome and at home. II will
add To the sum ofhuman joy, and
there Is no mistake about this.

Another Report that the Road Will

Another Report that the Road Will
Extend Into Eastern Oregon.
The Dalles Time. Mountaineer of
Wednesday says:
"In conversion with a person who
has just returned from the Willa-
mette valley, and who has inter-
viewed the directors of the Oregon
Pacific, we learn there is not the
least doubt that the railroad will
be constructed into Eastern
Oregon as soon as the sale is con-
frmed by the supreme court. There
cannot be much doubt that the pro-
ceedings will be considered regular
and the sale made good. If the
decision of the supreme court is
favorable a force of men will be
put at work as soon as possible in
preparing the roadsbed and laying
rails, sn6 it is expected that by
the time snow flies the whistle of
locomotive will echo through the
valleys of Cook county. The peo-
pie Of Prineville are not favorably
disposed toward the railroad, but it
is matter Of business with the
company, and the directors are de-
termined to have a share of the
trade Of the Inland Empire. This
will be no benefit to The Dalles,
without our citizens have sufficient
enterprise to build road into the
interior, and thus "head off, the
Oregon Pacific. Portland and 0.
r. & N. are interested in this mat
ter, and it would be greatly to their
advantage to control the trade of
the interior by means of the Col
umbia river. They can do this by
building railroads into Crook and
Grant counties; but if they take
no action it is very apparent that
wool and other shipments of these
districts will seek an outlet via the
Oregon Pacific to Yaquina Bay.

Moral Whitewashers.

Not long ago a preacher said to
the editor Of a local paper: "You
editors dare not tell the truth. If
you did you could not live; your
newspaper would be a failure"
The editor replied: "You are right
and the minister who will at all
times and under all circumstances
tell the truth about the members,
alive or dead, will not occupy his
pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it necessary to
leave town in q hurry. The press
