THE AMERICAN MARsE1LLA1sE.

At the Tammany Popocratic m eeting
in New York the other night new feat
ure was introduced in the shape of song
called "The American Marseillaise. :"
The song Ia said to have the approval Of
Mr.. Bryan though most of the Popocrat-
ic leaders opposed its use, on account Of
its opon and unblushing purpose to incite
class hatred. Here is the song. 1t is
wretched stuff:
You shall not press the crown of thorns
upon the toiler's brow;
This we affirm in freedoms name, with
pledge and solemn vow.
You shall not cruelty mankind upon q
cross Of gold;
The time has come when frsemen true
shall not be bought or sold.
No crown of thorns shall press the toll
er's brow;
No cross of gold shall cruelty the poor
man now.
Our children cry aloud for bread, and
Will lie for them we strive.
The corporations still combine and ON
our earnings thrive.
In ruin we prayed; we beg no more, but
on our cause rely;
Demanding equal right for all, the trust
we do defy.
The suff'ring mother mute appeals as
children round her cling;
The father, seeking work. despairs; no
succor can lie bring;
Thus driven tc slav'Iy. crime or death,
he proudly makes his choice
And Stays his children, wife and self, for
the rich heed nothis voice.
The souls of thousands. slain by greed,
from paupers' graves now call
70 us to save our country, dear, from
poverty's dread thrall
From farm and shop. freemen arise, as
did our sires of old,
And rally to defend our homes from the
cruel curse of gold.
The waving wheat and growing corn
shall then return for toll
An honest mead to hardy man to till our
fertile soil.
Our owners of the shop and mill with
labor shall unite
In one glad, joyous jubilee in triumph
of the right.

One reason for doubling the sincerity
of the leaders OF the silver agitation-in-
Guiding Mr. Bryan himself-and very
strong reason too. is the difference between
tile arguments which they present for
free coinage in the East, and those
which they offar in the West The great
argument for free silver in the West is
that it will relieve debtors from part of
the burden of their debts. But in the
Hast very little is heard about that
The principal argument for it here is
that 1t will revive business and relieve us
fl ON the thraldom of foreign powers.
Thero was not word in Mr..
Bryan's Bath speech about the effect
Of FREQ coinage on debts; on the
ether hand the legal tender act
which is to accompany free coinage was
carefully Kept out of sight. There is
certainly lack of frankness in cam.
paign which adapts its arguments 70
carefully to localities and conditions rs
does this silver campaign.
Frankness and sincerity would
prompt the telling of the whole effect of
free silver in the East as well as in the
West.

The Glorious Club of this city, com-
posed of ministers Of various denomina-
tions, at their last meeting listened to a
paper by the Rev. E. S. Stackpole entit-
led 'sThe Results of Higher Criticism as
affecting the Doctrine of the origin and
inspiration of the Bible" The conclu-
sions Of the essayist were as follows:
The Scripture is not infallib1e as his
tory. No one can believe the numeri-
cal statements concerning the exodus from
Egypt. nor the account of many of the
battles recorded IN the Old Testament.
g. The Scripture is not infallible In
science il is impossible to accept as
scientifically true the Chaldaean myth
of the creation; or the story of Joshua e
control over the sun; nor the story of
the deluge and the ark.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-10-02

3. The Scriptures are not infallible in
morals and ethics, judged according to
ehe ideas of the present. time. The ethics
OF Moses have been corrected by Christ.
Barbaric warfare we cannot defend.
4. The Scripture is not infallible in
theology. The idea of God changes in
the Bible itself Ezekiel corrected Moses.
tho champion OF the progressive ortho-
doxy of his time.
The paper was discussed says the
report by the ministers present and with
few exceptions practical unanimlty with
the essayist was discovered"
The logical effect ,ot Mr.. Stackpole's
conclusions seem to us to be to destroy
pretty effeotually the Old Testament as
an authority on anything. But that is not
the point we desire especially to call atten-
tion to. The authority of the Old esta-
ment has often been denied, and it's his
torical and scientific statements often
impeaohed. What we want to especially
point out Is the faotIthat after alleging
that the Bible is full of mistatements
both of history and science, faulty in eth
les, and not consistent even in its con-
ception of God himself, the Rev. Mr..
Stackpole speaks of it as Goods Book"
in his summing up in which he say 9
"God ia greater than his book, therefore
worship God." 1t strikes layman that
after alleging that the book was faulty
in its conception of God himself it was
somewhat incongruous to style it
Gods book" 1t looks very much az II
the essayist were trying to hold on to the
book as an authority in the face Of the
fact that the logical effect Of his argu-
fnent was to destroy its authority.

The Argus is much more successful in
critieising other peoples positions than
in defining it's own. Before the Chicago
convention it was openly in favor of
sound money and frequently warnod the
Democracy against the fres silver hercsy.
Since the nomination it has got upon
the fence and all efforts to get it down
lave failed. Ordinary prudence would
seem to suggest to paper in that posi-
tion that it should refrain from throw
ing stones at other people.

CURRENT COMMENT.
BARREN OF .TRENCHANT PHRAs-
ES.
(Providence Journal. J


Mr.. Bryan has made more than two
hundred speeches since his nomination
for the Presidency, but it is remarkable
how barren they are of really trenchant
phrases Many commonplace sentiments
ttered in his agreeable voice have GER
tain ring for the moment, but when they
are put on paper they Lose much of their
quail y. Mr.. Cleveland is neither a great
public orator nor brilliant letter writer
hui ne has succea,ied in saying several
things which have become political clas-
sizes. !" Public Office is public trust, -
sit is condition and not theory that
confronts us, and various other phrases
OF his are constantly employed and will
long remain liked in the public memory.
But it is diffiult to think of phrase of
Mr.. Rryan's which will survive thi
campaign, unless it be his reference to
the cross Of gold aud crown of thorns
and even that, it is said, was not origl-
nal.

The Popocratic committee have polled

that Illinois will go for Bryan by so, 600
majority. This is n straw" a very

A striking proof of the extent to which
