Rev. Thomas Dixon, .Ir., the famous
preacher-orator of New York, will deliver
mis- lecture on The Woman Of the Flu
ture" at the Y NJ. c. \. Hall to-mor-
row evening at o'clock.
Mr.. Dixon needs no introduction to the
people of Richmond. He has lectured In
this city upon several occasions, and he
never lacked hearers. lie Is one OF the
most attractive speakers on the Ameri-
can platform to-day. go
Rev. Or +. II. Kerfoot. of Louisville,

Mir. Dixon Is sent out by the Redpath

lie always attracts a large crowd. and
never fails to please his hearers. He is
a finished speaker. highly rhetorical IN
style and often rises TO lofty fights OF
elOquence.
Dr. ". w Tufts writing in the Boston
Home Journal of DR.. DiXo1, says:
"Mr. Dixon himself as public speaker

WE DO NOR BELIEVE IT.

1t is well nigh impossible for Us to
believe that Senator Sherman Is per-
fectly frank with himself or the pub
lie in saying as he is represented say
ing in his book, that he introduced the
silver purchase act because of fear
that bill for the free coinage of silver
would pass congress and be approved
by Harrison. No doubt he feared the
passage of the free coinage act as all
goidbugs did. But Sherman's fear WAS
one Of party, a fear that Harrison
would veto a free coinage act in which
vetoing the west might be lost TO the
Republican party. Mr.. Harrison's
opinion on the question of free coinage
was not open 10 such doubts as Mr..
Sherman suggests. and neither Senator
Sherman nor anyone else could have
had any apprellensions as to Mr.. Har-
rison's position The Sherman sill
yer purchase act both then and after
ward was defended by Mr.. Sherman
on its merits. and IT was born of a de-
sire to placate the silver Republicans.

A BLOODY TALE.

| Many people wonder why II is that
| the labors of enlightened missionaries
so often fail Of adequate results. 1t is
not probably so much the fault of the
missionaries as it is that of the en-
| lightened government from which he
halls. The So-called heathen nations
of the world have suffered most from
the c1ueltieS and wrongs of Christian
| governments. and as people constitute
| both, hence the disadvantage of the
well-meaning missionary. The repri-
| sal rule of England in foreign lands
and among ignorant peoples is long
and bloody chapter. Cruelty has ever
been the Briton's recourse and method.
| The Christian white man when left to
! himself, unfettered by law or public
opinion is too apt to play the tyrant
where the weak and ignorant are con-
| cerned. We even need not go to Eng
land for an illustration of this spirit.
The recent murder of Bannock Indians
on charge of violating game law is a
case in point Touching the Indian the
western white mans motto for the
most part is: "The only good Indians
are dead Indians"
4 dreadful story now comes by way
of London from the Congo Free state,
the narrator being the Rev. John b.
Murphy. of the American Baptist Mis-
sionary union. According to this mar
rative the native villages in the in
terror are required to bring in a GER
tain amount Of rubber as kind of tax
for the support of government, and the
payment of this tax is enforced by
atrociouS cruelties. The penalty of
non-payment is death, and this is visit
ed upon women and children as well
as men-that is, the whole population
of village is made to suffer for the
non-payment of the rubber tax. The
executioners are black soldiers in the
service of the government, who natur-
ally employ the methods they are ac-
customed to in the enforcement of their
duties. Here is one of the scenes de-
scribed:
zone day a state corporal who was in
charge Of the post of Tolifa was going
around the town collecting rubber; he
came to a poor old woman whose husband
was away fishing. He said: Where is
your husband?' She answered by point
ing to the river He then said: Where is
his RUBBER She answered: 1t is reacy
for you Whereupon he said: You lie
Then, lifting his gun. he shot her. In
q little time the husband returned, and
was told Of the murder of his wife He
went straight to the corporal, taking with
him his rubber, and asked why the cor
poral had shot his wife. The bereaved
man was so enraged he could contain him
self no longer, so he shot the corporal
The soldiers ran away to the headquarters
of the state and made Misrepresentation
of the case. with the result that the COM
missaire sent an army to support the
authority OF the soldiers. The town was
looted. burned, and many people killed
and wounded"

JOHN SHERMAN, HIS BOOK.

John Sherman is at once one Of the
most able and self-contained. as he is
one of the most selfish and unique
among all the public men who have
prominently figured in the affairs of
this country for the past generation.
Cold. calculating and unresponsive, as
an individual. he has been earnest as
a statesman, warm as a patriot. His
superior abilities have alone sustained
him. No man was ever drawn to his
personality. OF all of his long line Of
cOmpeers few have loved, all admired
while many dreaded him. While his
opportunities for acquiring wealth
have been great and his disposition
grasping, he has been diStinctively
honest. His ambition has been the
he writes Il book which proves neither
an autobiography or n history dis
tinctively. vet both and more. T. is
reminiscent and philosophical. The
book opens out secret pages Of political
and personal history Of intrigue. bad
faith and questionable party methods.
and is consequently the talk of the
season among public men and among
those who figure in its pages. Attempts
by strong men will he made 10 dis
credit much that it contains. There
are doubtless touches Of spleen Of the
disappointed man in its pages. but from
the well-known cold. calculating and
self-contained character of the author
the chances are that its statements of
facts viii stand. and in standing the
records of men living and dead win be
modified and even damaged. The at
taclS. for the most part. viii fall to the
ground, and the hard words of the
man of Mansfield will stand and be-
come history.
Among the men most hurt is General
Russell A. Alger of Michigan. who not
only vehemently protests but who has
undertaken 10 syStema tically diSprove.
Upon the other hand sherman declares
that he has nothing TO take back or
modify in his charge That Alger bought
up poor southern negro delegates To
the national convention of IS. which
delega5es had been elec9ed for Sher-
man. Many other men are hurt and

REED AND THE sPEAKERsH1P.

Unuuestionably Tom Reed is the big
gest man in America just at the pres
| ent juncture. His arrival in Washing
! ton caused a thousand times more
party palpitation and political hut1er
than the return Of the president OF
| these United States from BtHzard
Bay. He came enveloped with the
aroma of rhe pine woods Of his native
state. fortified with a strength he will
| need before his committees have all
| been announced and the house has set
fled down TO business. Ii is not the
enemy this time that he breads, but
his friends which are in such an over
whelming majority. They will have
TO he taken care of. in some instances
sustained and upheld, in others put
down and kept there. 1t is said that
he has more than talent, that he is a
genius. big and indolent and difficult
to arouse. But his full genius and all
his strength will be called into requis-
ition in Satisfactorily disposing Of the
old stagers and in handling the vast
quantity of new material which awaits
his experienced hands. He will have
no time to cape or yawn even if he
should conclude not to be candidate
for president. He viii be speaker. That
is settled. and for months in the woods
of Maine he has been industriously
figuring out the committee problem.
1t is limited that Mr.. Reed viii keep
the statesmen in suspense until after
Christmas. If the speakership were
In doubt this delay in the announce
ment of committees might be excused.
But in this instance. when Mr. Reed is
absolutely sure Of the speakership, if
he lives. the delay in the house bust
ness that will be occasioned by such a
proceeding is not consonant with sound
public policy and will not he consistent
with Mr. Reeds oft-proclaimed policy
of expediting the public business. Mr..
Reed has been closely in touch with the
leading members of the new congress
for year. and had a whole summer in
the Maine woods in which to ponder
over the formation of committees.
There is no reason why he should hang
ND these committees until after the
