Public Money for Political Purposes

Thomas L. Sloan has claim against
the government amounting to$10, 900.
This claim Is now pending before the
department of the interior. Ralph w.
Breckenridge of Omaha is attorney for
Sloan. The letter presented is a copy
OF one written to Sloan by Brecken-
ridge, the original of which is now In
the possession of the World-Herald.
David r. Francis is secretary of the
interior. Mr.. MERGERS views of the
duty of a congressman are fully set
forth in the extract Breckenridge
makes from the congressman's letter
to him.
'sBRECli" is IN A HURRY.
On Tuesday, Mr.. breckenridge who
was evidently becoming scared con-
corning the election, sent the follow
ing telegram:
Omaha, Oct. q.
Thomas l.. Sloan,
Winnebago,
via Ponder,
AS yoar friend l strongly advise you

THE LETTER.
Green & Breckenridge.
New York Life Building, Omaha,
Oct. 20, 1896.
L. l.. Sloan, Winnebago, Agency,
Neb.-Dear Sloan: have received a
letter from Congressman Mercer,
reading as follows:
"The commissioner of Indian affairs
is now at work upon his report in re
Sloan and will file it with Francis
some time next week If Sloan would
indicate to me through you that he
would support the republican ticket,
l might do something which other
wise would be an impossibllity
What he means by that is this: The
administration is for sound money. If
you will assist the republicans to elect
Ross Hamm nd ard the Mckinley cleo
toral ticket to the extent of your abil-
ity, l think Secretary Francis can be
induced upon that score to grant your
petition. Mckinley is going to be
elected; no doubt about it. If you
work for Bryan, you threw your vote
away.
You may, perhaps, elect Maxwell,
but when you elect him, you have got
nobody that you can tie to, and what
the sound money people want is ma
jority in the house. This matter
which you must decide for yourself.
| would suggest however, that you
have condition and not a theory to
meet, and while Congressman Mercer
and the other members of our con-
gressional delegation are very willing
to do anything they can for me per-
sonally, yet they would not feel like
interfering with a matter of this kind
unless there was a strong reason for
it.
Let me know at once what | can say
to Mr.. Mercer. This letter is and
must be considered by you as strictly
private and confidential.
/, of course, have no means of
knowing what Mr., Browning's report
will be in your matter, but | take it
he will devote considerable time to
the consideration of the case.
Let me say for your benefit that
there are great numbers of people
heretofore identified with the demo-
cratic party who have come out for
Mr.. Mckinley upon the proposition
that, regardless of their attitude
toward the silver question they can

THE SLOT MACHINES.
DR.. Milburn Thinks the Cases Against
Owners should He Dismissed.

Rev. j. a. Milburn, of the Second Presby-
terrain Church, prefaced his sermon yester-
day morning by brief remarks concerning
the slot machine question. He asked that
there arise public sentiment against find
With operating the machines. The fight
against the machines was declared won and
the owners of the machines were commend
ed for doing away with the gambling de-
vices. Mr.. Milburn credited the owners Of
the machines with having acted with good
motives. and said il would be generous on
the part of those who had made the fight
TO now stop the prosecution. Should the
cases be pushed, he said, the result might
do wrong to the men, to their business
and TO their families.
Mr.. Milburns sermon yesterday morning
was particularly directed to members of the
church. He that hath an ear let him hear
what the spirit saith unto the churches"
was the text.
What we all need" said Mr.. Milburn
'is more perspective. wider, deeper, more
comprehensive range of vision. What We
all need to think of is less of the individual
church in which we live and more of the
universal church-the world church Of
Christ our Lord
Mr.. Milburn spoke for more conscience,
not only in church work, but in everyday
life and also for more interest in the affairs
of the church. He mentioned the duty of
hospitality to strangers. MIR. Milburn plead
ed for church unity, not a dogmatic fedora
ton, but a unity which shall further the

suit in the simplification of the missionary
problem and result in the conservation of
money. federal church, whose supreme
aim shall be social righteousness on the one
hand and the evangelzing of the heather
world on the other, was urged.

NEW PASTOR ARRIVES
REV. JOHN j. FAUDE SPEAKS TO
CHRIST CHURCH CONGREGATION.
Sermon by DIR. Sims on Faith and
Duty and Its Relation to n Full
Faith I'm the Power of Christ.

Rev. John j. Faude, of Minneapolis con-
Quoted the regular morning service at Christ
Church yesterday. Mr.. Faude has received
call to the pastorate of the church and
may accept. His text was taken from
verses found in the epistle of the Apostle
Paul to the Philippians.
The remarks were more in the nature of
practical talk to the congregation than a
sermon. 1t was lesson in divine sym
pathy. Mr.. Faude maintained that no one
lives who has not at some time experienced
the need OF outside help. of compassion and
sympathy. 1t is a touch of the human
heart In the lives of men that makes them
better. 1--WE find in the revelations of st.
John a wonderful description of Heaven"
said he. at is to be Heaven to us because
it will give US the things that We are in need
OF. When We follow the life of Christ we see
what it means. He came to tell the people
that God Is their Father. Men sometimes
think that God is a being grand in His
majesty, but far from us and impossible to
be reached by us. God came to open the
mothers heart; to warm the paternal in
stinct. The first duty of Christ in perform
ing miracles was to touch the human heart
He came close to the joys of humanity; He
entered into its everyday life. Christ came
close to humanity, and that is why people
believed in him.
This nature of ours" the speaker said,
rs one that needs the divine touch of SYM
pathy. When bereavement is upon us this
touch of sympathy will sometimes change
the whole course Of life. The popular man
is not he who stands above all else in the
splendor of his ability, but he is the man
who has the touch of sympathy about him.
To be true converts, brethren" continued
Mr.. Faure, you must go about this work as
Christ went about it. Wherever the Chris
tan church has not tried to do something
for humanity, for it's needs and its longing
then she has utterly failed. We must get
down to those conditions that touch the
daily lives of men. 1t must be a work not
only for those who come here Sunday after
Sunday, but it must be work for human
ity. Go as Christ went, every individual of
you. down among the lowly, and not only
there, but among all classes, and let your
light so shine among them that they will
glorify our Father in Heaven. If God could
forsake Heaven and come to this earth and
declare that he came not to be ministered
to. but to minister, then certainly We can
afford to follow Him.
At the conclusion of his sermon Mr.. F'aude
referred to the call he had received from
the church and invited the members of the
congregation to speak with him about his
contemplated change. After the service Mr.
Faude said he was considering the cali
favorabiy. but he could not now speak def
initely OF his coming. At the present time
he Is rector Of Gethsemane Church, st. Paul

VIII Enlarge It's Plant.

From the president Of the Indianapolis
Abattoir Company 1t is learned that the
company is having plans and specifications
prepared to considerably enlarge its plant
at an estimated cost of $4,000. it being the
intention to go into killing cattle on a
larger scale, supplying not only home mar
kets, but entering the field as shippers OF
dressed meats. The present facilities of the
company will admit of killing forty to fifty
head of cattle a day and two hundred hogs.
1t is proposed to more than double the ca
pacity of the establishment. The COM
pany has had such an improvement in con-
temptation for some time. and will In
short time begin the work.
