That the work of saving souls may be
successfully carried on with picturesque
and spectacular accessories has been dem
onstrated by Sam Jones. the Salvation
Army, and others, including Dr. Talmage,
whose speciality is rhetorical pyrotechnics.
In point of brilliant realism, however,
these have been surpassed by an evange-
list now in the state of Ohio, with the
avowed purpose of saving the whole state
before he quits. Where the workers in
the vineyard who have been named use
verbal fireworks, the Ohio evangelist,
whose name is Rev. Syndicate Wilson.
employs real gunpowder. roman candles
and skyrockets. and bonfres of petro-
leum, preceded, however. by parade
with brass bands.
The Rev. Syndicate began his task of
cornering and saving Ohio souls at Gal
lipolis one evening last week The first
that the people of the town knew of the
affair was when they heard a shooting
of anvils. Everybody who has spent a
holiday in the country knows what it is
to shoot anvils. The defamation is some-
thing Ike that of a cannon; and sets the
small boys heart bounding with enthus-
iasm. Following the anvil shooting the
Rev Syndicate started parade with
brass bands and banners, the latter ad-
vertising the eyangelists purpose to save
everybody. 1t is needless to say that
the town turned out to see the parade.
and followed it. The parade ended at Il
meeting place." which was surrounded
with blazing petroleum barrels. The band
played on. A display of fireworks, incIud-
ing roman candles and niger chasers,
brought in the loiters from the highways
and byways The Rev. Syndicate went
inside the church and began to preach.
Presently a hoy came running out and
fired a skyrocket into the air When it
had sailed gracefully into the heavens and
emitted a bouquet of colored balls some
body asked what it meant. and the boy
said a sinner had been converted In
minute or two there was another sinner
converted, and another skyrocket was
sent aloft. This was repeated at inter
walls of a few seconds. There was some
difficulty in keeping the raw material
for the making of saints in the church
where the Rev. Syndicate could work on
it. The congregation ev>uced great de-
sire to go outside and see the fireworks.
But sinners enough were saved" to keep
the skyrockets going until the supply
had run out. Then the meeting adjourned.
In adjourning the meeting the Rev. Syn
dioate announced that he meant to keep
up that kind of thing until there were no
sinners left in Galiipolis, and then he
would move on 10 another town. And
the merchants at the meeting Immediately
telegrahped TO Cincinnati for new SUP
ply of skyrockets.

Not nearly 50 much is heard Of the pop
ulist party this year as there was TWO
years ago. or even four years ago. II IS
in "a dying condition In some Of the
states this year it viii make considerable
noise, bun the noise il makes will not be
an indication Of increasing strength.
The truth is the populist party is lack
ing in almost everything that makes
political party respectable. Saturday
popuiist offered in the House a resolution
asking that the President be impeached
for pursuing a financial policy necessary
TO maintain the credit Of the govern
ment and keep the currency sound. OF
course he was treated with scant cour-
tesy and sat upon.
The populist senators have a scheme
to hold congress together until after the
adjournment Of the ST. Louis and CHI
cago conventions. in order that they may
discuss the silver question. They don't
seem 10 understand that the country is
50 tired Of them that it wouldn't read
their speeches if they should make any.
1t wouldn't benefit their party. therefore.
TO hold congress together.
Nothing however. illustrates so well the
sort of people the populists are as the
mortgage redemption law Of Kansas.
which they passed when they had control
Of that state. In 1893 the Kansas legisla-
ture passed a redemption law by which
eighteen months additional time for the
redemption of a mortgage after its fore
closure was given. During the eighteen
months the debtor was permitted to oc-
cupy the property and receive the rents
and profits.
Before the populists got control Of the
supreme court Of the state an effort was
made to interpret the law so as to cover
mortgages made prior to the enactment of
the law. but it failed, but when the pop
ulists got control of the court it was de-
cided that the law did cover such mort
cages. The court so held in face of the
fact that the federal constitution says
that mo state shall pass any law impair
ing the obligation of contracts"
The supreme court of the United States.
when the matter came before it a few
days ago. very quickly set aside the pop
ulist decision. This decision of a populist
court in Kansas shows what might he ex-
pected from the populists If they should
get control of the country We should
have anarchy and chaos in a very little
while. 1t is a source of qualification that

The Population Of MassaehusettS.

The Population Of Massachusetts.
The federal census Of 1888 showed that
the drift Of population in the country at
large was from the rural districts TO the
cities. This tendency was less IN the
southern states than in those Of New
England. but greater than in some Of the
newer states Of the west and the north
west OF the population OF the United
States. a fraction above % per cent. re-
sided in cities Of 500 or more popula-
ton. one hundred years previously only
3.s5 per cent of the population resided in
cities.
\ census Of the state of Massachusetts
enumerated last year and recently pub
lshed. shows that in that state the drift
Of population to the cities had reached
what may well be called alarming pro-
portions. OF total population Of 2,5001s3.
the cities of 5000 or more population con-
tanned LSl2367. or fraction more than
Y per cent. In 1870 the city population
Of Massachusetts, was but 10 per cent. of
the whole. In 1850 it had increased TO 43
per cent, and last year seventy-two peo-
pie out Of every 100 in the state were resi-
dents of the cities!
Rural life in New England is proverb-
tally uninviting. The farms are rocky and
sterile. the climate is harsh and returns
for the filling Of the soil are meager.
Fully one-third Of the year must be spent
in an effort TO keep warm. and the re-
mainder Of the tiRe to laying aside a
store against the winter months The
hardships Of a New England farm life
have had the effect of driving people
to the cities, where there are factories.
and where even meager factory wages
give a comparatively better return
in amusements and educational advan-
tages. if not really in the necessaries of
life, than the toll on the stony farms.
But Massachusetts is gradually losing
her factories. They are coming south,
where mill streams are not frozen for
three or four months. and where it is
unnecessary to burn immense coal piles
for the heating Of the factory building.
Her cotton mills are coming to the Caro-
linas, Georgia and Alabama. and her iron
and steel manufacturing plants are com
ing into competition with similar, though
better, plants in the Virginias. Alabama
and Tennessee. Louisville and other
southern cities are now making the ag-
ricultural implements that used to be
made in Amesbury and other New Eng
land cities The mills are coming to the
fields and the mines. where living is cheap
and comfortable, and where the laborer
may work the twelve months through
The tendency is logical. and the result
is inevitable.
What will be the effect upon the New
England cities? The three-fourths of the
states population now crowded into the
cities will be compelled to make some
change. It may be that the building of
trolley roads, and the improvements in
farming will induce portion of the city
population to return to the rural dis
tricts. But the probabilities are that a
larger proportion of the working classes
will follow the mills to the south. where
they will continue to be mill operatives
or go into the cultivation of a soil that
needs only to be tickled with a hoe to
laugh a golden harvest"
