UNDOING OF SAMSON.
A Preachers Sensational Sermon on
the Gould Wedding.

The undoing of Samson the strong
man, as the result of his marriage to
a daughter of the Philistines, was
the subject of Rev. Madison c. Peters
rmo at the Bloomingdale Reform
ed church Sunday. 1t was an inter-
national marriage, the preacher said,
and so was bound to turn out badly.
He read the fourteenth chapter of
Judges, and then made some slash
ing comments on the approaching
Casteilane-Gou nuptials.
The churce was crowded and
people stood up in all the %aisles. The
sermon made "A sensation. Mr.. Peters
said: "The wealth of this nation is in
the hands o, a few, and these few are
marrying off their daughters to titled
imbeciles. This is the most success
full way of making a nation poor. a
marriage for money or title is humi-
liating to the dust, "A hollow mockery
that bushes to heaven. American
men as a rule marry for love, royal
scoundrels always for money. With
them Cupid has changed his name
to cupidity.
"There is no record of an inter-
national marriage where hard cash
was the consideration for titles that
did not end unhappily. Yet ambitious
fathers, managing mothers and heart
less daughters were constantly play
ing the same unlucky game.

Thousand Return to Work.

The miners near Pittsburgh predict
a victory in the strike for higher

miners in the district are working
for SO cents, the price for which the
strike was ordered.

Congressional Record, Dec. II. 1871,
page IA.
THIS legislation was had in the Forty
Second Congress, Feb. IL, 1873, by a bill
to regulate the minis of the United States
which practically abolished silver as
money by failing to provide for the coin
age of the silver dollar. 1t was not dis
cussed. as shown by the Record, and
neither members Of Congress nor the
people understood the scope of legis-
lation.-Joseph Cannon, of Illinois, in

The coinage act of 1878, unaccom-
panied by any written report upen the
subject, and unknown to the members
of Congress, who, without opposition,
allowed it to pass under the belief, if not
assurance, that it made no alteration in
the value of current coins, changed the
unit of value from silver to gold.-Mr.
Burchard. of Illinois, in Congressional
Record, July 10, 1876, page 5sI.
But when the secret history of this bill
of 1873 comes to be told it will disclose
the fact that the House of Represent
atives intended to coin both metals upon
the French relation instead of our own,
which was the true scientific position
with reference to this subject, in 1878,
but that the bill was afterward doctored.

1--WE despise the man who takes a
bride. We put stripes on him.
What shall we say of these titled
adventures who offer themselves in
marriage to the highest American
bidder? What shall we say of the
young women who turn what is noble
and pure and American away and
sell themselves willing victims to be
offered on the affairs of European
profligacy? Our boast is that we
are democratic. The fact is we are
the most snobbish and most slavisl
worshippers of rank of any nation in
the world. 1t is seldom that a titled
fortune hunter fails in his suit for ar
American hand. There i.
such a bewitching charm in the
empty titles we affect to despise tina
women will feign to love noblemer
who would, if untitled, be positivel,
repulsive.
"Such a marriage is far from re
spectacle. 1t may take place il
high society, but it is high s%ociet,
turned low. The pagan pomp ant
vulgar outlay with which it may b.
celebrated only furnishes the masl
that covers the mockery-. the mock
cry which invariably taunts thu
misery in the end"

Knew Not What They Did.

The question of whether members
of Congress knew, says the Inter
Ocean when they voted for the bill
that demonetized silver, hat such
would be the effect Of the bill when
it became a law has long been dis
cussed. Certainly the weight of test
imony is that they did not. Many
of them were friends of silver and
did not realize what they had done
for some years thereafter. We print
the following statements of some of
the men who voted for the measure,
which should be convincing:
In connection with the charge that |
advocated the bill which demonetized
the standard silver dollar, | say that
although chairman of the committee on
coinage | was ignorant of the fact that
Of its dropping the silver dollar from our
| system of coins, as were those distln-
guishcd Senators, Blaine and Voorhees,,
| who were then members of the House,
and each of whom, a few days since, in
terrogated the other: "Did you know it
was dropped when the bill passed." /"
No" said Blaine: 'did you?" mo-"
said Mr.. Voorhees," | do not think there
were three members of the House that
knew it."-Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
in Congressional Record, volume 7, part
., Forty-Fifth Congress, second session,
page 1908.
1t the bill d~emonetized silver
never was understood by either House
of Congress. say that with a full
knowledge of the facts. No newspaper
reporter, and they are the most vigilant
men l evcr saw in obtaining information,
discovered that it had been done.-Sen-
ator Beck, of Kentucky, in Congressional
Record, volume 7, part l, Forty-Fifth
Congress, second session, page 26O.
1t passed by fraud in the House, never
having been printed in advance, being
"A substitute for the printed bill; never
having been read at the clerks desk, the
reading having been dispensed with by
an impression that the bill made no
material alteration in the coinage laws;
it was passed without discussion, debate
being cut off by operation of the previous
question. 1t was passed, to my certain
information, under such circumstances
that the fraud escaded the attention of
some of the most watchful as we'll as the
ablest statesmen in Congress at that time
X r Il Aye, sir, it vas a fraud that
smells to heaven. 1t was a fraud that
will stink in the nose of posterity, and
for which some persons must give ac-
count at the day of retribution.-Mr.
Bright, of Tennessee, in Congressional
Record, volume I, part 1, second session
Forty Fifth Congress. page 5S4.
Did the people demonetize silver?
Never. 1t cannot be ever fairly said
that Congress did it. 1t was done in a
corner, darkly. 1t was done at the in
stigation of the b%ondholders and other

The Nebraska Editor is publish
ed by and in the interest of paper
dom in that state. Its editor is fully
awake to the truth when he pens the
following, which hits the other papers
as well:
The Nebraska Editor is probably
making lots of enemies and detractors,
in II perfectly innocent way. Scores of
contributions are sent in by people who
wish it we'll, and the majority of the
contributions are so little adapted to Il
periodical of this character that they
can't possibly be used. Neither can they
always be returned to the writers, as it
is very seldom that stamps accompany
them for that purpose. 1t is II of the
curious features of human nature that
the man who sends in a communication,
accompanied by a barrel of good wishes
and assurances of esteem, will straight
way become the invcterate enemy of the
editor if the communication is not pub
liShed. There are people who write well
and yet have no regard for the eternal
fitness Of things; they send essays on
theosophy to Il poultry journal, and,
poems about trees and flowers to a
medical bulletin, and "reminiscences of
pioneer days in Nebraska to Il paper
like the Editor. They mean well. but
they fill our hearts with sorrow.

A QUIET

The HERALD as much as any per-
son is in favor of a quiet municipal
election. There is certainly no call
for a division of politics in local af-
fairs. 1t has never yet been pro-
ductive Of good, and has not n
been unproductive of evil. 1t is the
height Of nonsense to draw partisan
lines in "A town of no greater pre-
tensions than ours. And in towns Of
any size, We may say, the tension Of
party lines tends to reduce the man
and elevate the party. People in
variably sacrifice the former to the
greed Of the latter. What we want
is men. Men Of character, of strength
and high honor. Such men can be
found in any party. Such men will
do right toward all men and all
parties. Why should we hazard the
towns best interests over petty
s%trifes: Why should We take any
chances of the selection Of doubtful
men: All we want is a council that
will defend the town against the en-
croachments of corporation, and that
will accommodate the water company
t. that trouble which it has LONG
looked for. The people should no
be divided in this matter.
