IngersoI1 Causes Dissension.
Chicago, March 6.-Women's Christian
Temperance Union members desire Rev.
DR.. John Rusk and the Militant Church TO
get out Of WIZARDS Hall.
Several weeks ago DIR. Rusk invited Col
Robert G. Ingersoll, the noted agnostic,
to speak from the pulpit of the Militant
Church, and Col. IngerSoli accepted the
inv itation. Yesterday the executive board
of Tie Women'S Christian Temperance Union
adopted resolutions requesting DR.. RuSk
to Withdraw from WIZARDS Hail and seek
other quarters for the services of the
Church Militant. DR. Rusk said last night

FILIBUsTER CASES DEFERRED.
One Till Next August and One TIL
Next Week.

Philadelphia, Pa. March 6.-The trial
of Capt Frederick Syanoe and First Mate
Ragan Christensen of tue steamer Leon,
who were arrested in Wilmington, Del, in
November last. on the charge o + aiding in 4
Cuban fiIibusteriug expedition, was called
in the United States district court here
today, but after some argument it was
continued until the August term.
District Attorney Ingham asked for
postponcment, but Capt. Ker, or counsel for
the defendants, requested that the case
proceed. Judge Butler was OF the opinion
that inasmuch as the case is similar to the
one against the late officers OF the steamer
Horsa, who were recently convicted, the
trial be deferred until the application of
the latter for a new trial should be dis
posed of, and possible precedent thereby
established.
The August term was then decided upon
as the time for The trial. The BAH OF Capt.
Syanoe was continued at $1,000, but tue
security of Mate Christensen was reduced
from 81 200 to $500.

SUFFRAGE FOR THE DISTRICT
Plea to Its Advocates to he Up and
Doing

Editor Times. Apropos OF the editorial
in the Evening Times OF Thursday urging
q Feviv2l or the Suffrdg e movement, give me
permission to say a few words.
To the principles OF local scIf-govern-
ment. no arguments deserving thena mehaye
yet been advanced b. those who oppose q
change in the District governments. our
opponents appeal to the pFe5utiCes not 70
the reason OF the inhabitants or the District.
and thus far they have done so with aP-
parent success.
They know that the longer they can pro-
long a nOn-partiCipatiOn IN the local gov
ernment by the people OF the District. the
less chances there is for a successful out
come or any suffrage movement And
the reason is plain. When the people OF u
community are denied all share in the gov
eminent that rules them, public spirit II
it ever existed, soon dies. and apathy and
Indifference and their cOFrOding COncOm
tanJS, take the place OF civic activities
Thisapathy Is beginning toOver- power the
people OF the capital. and to it may be at
tributed i'm a large degree, the lack OF
continuity and cOhssiveness that most IL
not all of the suffrage movements have
exhibited. or course the influence OF a
hostile press has contributed to make pro-
posed changes in the District Government
more difficult.
Until The Times entered the newspaper
field OF Washington, u meeting OF sur
fragists evoked emily TidiCule and CON
temptuous saIlieS from Washington news
papers: Notwithstanding the fact that in
such meeting a very vital principal or
our political creed was being urged for
local application.
And your contemporaries continue to
bciittle the efforts OF those who still find
something attractive in American politi-
cal institutions, and who would see at the
seat of the federal government. the very
best example OF those institutions for mu-
njCipal purposes. But as The Times cen

ence and to call upon the people OF Wash

II was perhaps unfortunate that Prcsl-
dent Cleveland did not more carefully con-
slider that part OF his Home Missions speech
that refers 10 tie development of the great
West, inasmuch as it seems to have been
misconstuIed and misunderstood. A care
rul reading Of the utterance referred to does
not justify the attack made by Representa-
tive Hartman in Congress, nor can it be
possible that the President would delib-
eratcly insult our new States and Terrific
ries because they differ with him on the
financial question. But the reference is
open to criticism on account of its indis-
erect application, and should never have
been made on such a public coca sion. Here
is what he said
in these days the vanguard of occupation
in a new settlement always contains its
vicious and criminal element. Gambling
houses and drauishops are frequently among
the first instituted in the new community.
II must also be confessed that removal
from old homes and associations TO new
and more primitive homes has tendency
among honest and respectable settlers TO
stifle scruples, and TO breed federation of
evil and Indifference to Outstanding and
elevaing agencies. These conditions, if
unchecked and uncorrected. fix upon the
new community by their growth and ex.
pansion a character and disposition which.
while dangerous to peace and order in tue
early stages of settlement develop into
badly regulated municipalities, corrupt
and unsafe Territories and undesirable

not been melted to it by mere love of brag-
gadocio or by a mcddling disposition, but
because they feel that humanity is being
outraged by Spain's oppression OF Cuba,
and, furthermore, because they have come
To the conclusion that the insurrcction OF
the Cubans has reached the point where
those prosecuting it are entitled to being
placed upon an equal footing with their
antagonists. There is no occasion for any
political campaign demonstrations; what
ever is said and done ought to bedignified
and worthy of the cause of humanity and
independence with which the United States
has declared its sympathy.
1t is to be hoped that the performance of
the Princeton students Will have a deter.
rent instead Of stimulating effect. The
time for popular demonstrations, so far as
the people of the United States are con-
cerned, was when Congress had to be in
formed Of the state of popular feeling.
Now that it has given formal expression to
that sentiment, il behoores our people to
preserve a dignified demeanor, no matter
what the Spaniards may do.
