AT A LARGE and crowded public
meeting, held in Cooper Union, New
York, Thursday night, Mr.. George d
Heron said "Christ was an anarchist, y
and the notorious Father Ducey de.
manded shat preachers should &C.
nouuce any man who accumulated
wealth while human beings were starv-
ing" And yet Christ said that SER
wants should obey their masters, that
all should submit to the powers that
be, and that ~ man could do what he
pleased with his own. Such utter
ancss as those referred to, and the ap-
plause they received, are the murmurs
of the echoes Of the steps of the sd
yancipg man on horseback.

FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, March 7.
SENATE.


The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE.
House bill to incorporate the Grand
Lodge of Masons for Indian Territory
was passed.
Mr.. Wadsworth reported the agri-
cultural appropriation bill from the
committee on agriculture with a rec.
cmmendation that certain amendments
made by the Senate be coucurred in ;
that the remainder be non concurred
in; and that conference with the
Senate be asked.
Gu motion of Mr.. Picker the House
voted TO concur in the amendments
providing for the immediate publication
of $4,000 copies of diseases OF the
horse" and 10000 copies of "dis
eases of cattle and cattle feeding.
He also tried to get concu :
renee in the amendment providing for
the printing of 25 900 copies of "cattle
and dairy falm;n.," but ran against
snags in the shape of a letter from the
experts in the agricultural department ,
who said that much OF the matter In
the book was obsolete, and the objec-
lion of the committees on agriculture
and printing.
Mr.. Henry said the work was abso-
lutely of no value to the dairy interests,
wherein he differed from Senator Mel
son, of Minnesota, who was quoted by
Mr.. Picker as saying thai it was
valuable work and in great demand.
The vote on Mr.. Pickler's motion, on
division, was ayes, 81; noes, 70; upon
the announcement of which vote by
yeas and nays was ordered.
The vote was very close, and at the
conclusion of the roll call the opponents
of the proposition to print the book
secured several changes from AYE" to
"no," seing which, Mr.. Picker changed
his own vote so as to be able to move
to reconsider. The vote was an
nounced as yeas LOG, nays III. So the
House refused to concur in the Senate
amendment. Mr.. Picker made his
motion to re consider, and that was
laid on the table.
The House then voted nonconcur-
renee in the remaining amendments
and requested conference.
The House then resumed considera-
ton of the postoffice appropriation Dill.

The filibusters in this country de-
nounce the administration for instruct
ing its officers to. st least, make an at
tempt to execute the neutrality laws
and say such attempts "are offensive to
the manifest sentiment of the Ameri
can people," Whether manifest or not,
sentiment is not law, and if law can be
disregarded in one case, why not in an
other? The strict enforcement OF the
law is the only means now lef6 by
which life and property in this country
can be secured, and those who are adj
vocating the disregard for law are the
peoples worst enemies.

A WIDELY circulated Northern fill

A WIDELY circulated Northeru hif
b ,ster newspaper says: 1.-THE Cuban
revolution is like our own war for lnde-
psudeuce, though upon vastly greater
proyocation." The prejudice and ig-
norance that Influence Northern people
are greatly promoted by the newspa-
psrs of that section. The American
revolution can not be compared in any
one particular with the instruction OF
the negroes and mulattoes. headed by q
few white scalawags in Cuba. Some OF
the newspapers referred to also say the
independence of the insurgent oanails
should be recognized for the reason that
Spain recognized the belligerency Of
the Confederate States. Why the Con-
federate States government, during the
four years of its heroic existence, was ss
much of government as that OF the

butes of government. The Cuban in

no government, but not even the site OF
one. unless it be in New York.

4. A. WAGNoN,
Pastor Atlanta M. E. Church South,
Atlanta, Tex.
This is now a mere matter of opin-
ion, and Rev. Mr.. Wagnon aud The
PRoeREss shall each be his own judge
of the correct ness OF the position Of
each. Our paper received its infor.
nation from Christian sources; a
source which it believes to be entirely
reliable, and while it does not intend
to challenge the veracity of the rever.
end gentleman by any means, 1t is
unwilling to make ont its lnfor-
mant fulslfer simply to please the
pastor at Atlanta.
As to speaking evilly Of ministers
and magistrates, we fail to see the
application. There is no such thing
as infsllibility of the clergy in the
Methodist doctrine and no magistrate
is above legitimate criticism, And IT
it is the spirit of the Discipline 20 sub
iect our members to seville homage to
our ministry; the general conference
should be fir enough to make the
matter public, 80 that thousands, yea
tens of thousands, may take their
membership out, and unite with
some church which sanctions and en-
courages manliness.
The PRoaREss may have been lit
tie strong in tuis one instance, bat we
have heard 8, much of this self con
stituted censorship of the Zenzindor-
fan followers over those of the Wes-
levan faith; arrogating to themselves
the only true expounders of religious
doctrine and CHASING the believers in
the second and distinct work of grace
to pe wild fanatics, that we thought
it about time that some one who be-
lleves in fair play, had say.
| We note that the Rev. MIR, Wag'
non took advantage of the word Ho-
illness as used by us, and saio ne
preached it, OF course in the use Of
the word we intended to speak OF i
as the second blessing doctrine ant
nearly every one, except the pastor a
Texarkana, 80 understands it.
The editor of The PROGRESS ha
never attained to the exalted plan
Of the second blessing, aud by tn
spirit Of our brother, Wagnon's lette

He Learned How

This story was told Of dog the 9TH
er day: He was very fond OF one
member Of the family in which he
lived, and was never so happy as when
near him. He would lie outside the
door Of kis favorite's room, though
there was a rule against his being in
the house.
50 Again and again he was driven out
Of doors, but managed to get back to
the rug outside this particular door.
To get to this door the dog had to
cross piece of. oil-cloth. Whenever he
was heard crossing this oil-cloth who
ever heard him would at once drive
him out of doors. At last it was found
that he would get to this door without
being heard. He was watched. 1t
was found that he would walk natural
ly until he came to this piece of oil
cloth; then he would walk on the ball
of his foot SO that his nails would not
touch the oil-cloth and make noise.
Was he not clever?-Exchange.
