PETER AND BLACKBURN.

Man Writes Clear from Oregon Ask
ing PETER to Interfere.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. A request all
the way from Washington state mas just
come to Senator PETER asking him TO in
terfere in the Kentucky senatorial con-
test in the interests of Senator Black
burn because he is a silver man. The
writer did not state whether he was
white or black, Republican, Democrat or
POpulist, but he wanted Senator PETER to
write to the Populists in the Kentucky
legislature and urge them to support
Senator Black burn.
Senator PETER has answered the letter
declining to make any suggestions rela-
tive to the contest or in any way advise
the Kentucky Populists as to what course
they should pursue. He gives three
reasons In the first place, he says,
Blackburn wouldn't have enough votes
to be elected if the Populists die support
him. In the next place the Populists
who are there and have the voting to do,
know hest what they want and what
course they should pursue.
In the last place he says he doesn't
believe in helping the kind of silver
man Senator Blackburn is. 81 would
rather have an out and out gold mono
metallist elected than the half and half
kind. Senator Blackburn is silver
man but he is of the sort who place
party ahead of their allegiance to silver.
All such men are covert enemies of sill

the open field whom you know you have
to oppose than an ally who is apt at any
time to desert for the sake of his DartY.D

A Variety of Experiences for the Greai
Chinaman in Now York.
Ii Hung Chang. the Chinese Ambassador,
had some varied and interesting experiences
the other day in New York. In the morn.
ing he received number of callers and gave
audience to representatives Of various mis-.
sionary societies. An address was
presented to him, and his reply
testified to the good work &C.
compllshed by American missionaries In
China, especially in the way OF suppressing
the opium habit, the curse OF the native popu-
lation. He also referred gracefully to the
PRAYERS OF the missionaries for him when he
was stricken by an assassin In Japan. About
o'clock, the viceroy, escorted by soldiers, went
to the Merchants Club. down town. where he
was entertained ct luncheon. His response
indicated the pleasure he felt overthe warmth
of his reception in the United States. After.
ward he was driven through Chinatown,
where the inhabitants made unique demon
startion by exploding great bundles OF fire
crackers In their eminent countryman's
honor. From there Ii proceeded to
Union Square and reviewed the Police,
Fire and Street Cleaning Departments. In
the evening dinner In, his honor was
given at Delmonico's by the Chinese
Consul and Chinese merchants, but the Am.
bassador was not present owing to slight
injury.
While entering bis carriage after the Mer-
chants Club entertainment the Viceroy had
his finger caught in the jamb Of the door; but
the injury was not serious.

WHAT Is THE K1NGpoN2

One cannot read the Gospels with any care
and not be impressed by the thought that
the pre-eminent theme Of Christ's preaching
was the kingdom Of God. Yet when asked
to suy what that kingdom is, we are not
always ready with clear answer. Certainly
it is moral kingdom, not physical. Jesus
took great pains to make this plain: yet
even at this point He was, and still is. mis-
apprehended. 1t pertains both to the pres
ent and the future-to the present in part,
to the future in fulness. 1t will have
completely come only when Gods will
is done on earth as it is in heav-
en-. So it is both realized fact and an
endless hope. 1t Is in this world, though
not Of it. and also in the next. To be in
cluded in this kingdom one must be in char
acter like the King. 1t consists, then. OF re-
generate individuals, whose law is the Di-
vine will. 1t embraces all the truly good,
who have the spirit Of Jesus, whether the
historic Christ has been revealed to them or
lot. Worldwide and age-long this realm
the realm Of purity, unselfishness, humility
and love. 1t cometh not with outward OBJ
servaticn its throne is set up in human
hearts.

RELIGIOUS READING,

How we come to be what we are remains
among the mysteries Of human existence.
We may learn something about it; but there
is much more we cannot learn. We must be
content to guess.
In such matter dogmatism is out Of
place. But, strange az it may be, this has
been great field for dogmatism. The
spiritual philosopher traces character back
to the human will, while the materiaist
finds it to be the result OF the material mold,
or environment. On this theory history has
been written: The theory underlies
Draper's, History Of European Civil
lization," and of our own Civil War.
and Taine's 'History OF Literature" AMI
these glittering generalties the scheme can
be made to appear very plausible, but it
rests on vast basis Of assumption. The un-
known and unknowable are made to play an
important part in such works. The truth
comes out more clearly when we deal with
individual cases. There are innumerable
instances in human history where the diff
ferences between men cannot be accounted
for by material conditions. Men cast in the
some mold are entirely unlike. We see this In
families. Peter and Andrew were brothers,
reared In the same household and subjected
to the same outward conditions, and yet these
brothers were different types OF men-the
oneimpulsive, bold, and resolute even to RASH
ness, while the other was cool, collected and
retiring. Andrew was sapper and miner;
Peter was the man who lead the attack on
the citadel. Take the case Of Jacob and
Esau. They were twins, born at the same
time and reared on the same conditions !;
but they were totally different men.
Esau was the man Of the desert, Of
the earth earthly, with strong animal tastes
and base ideals Jacobs ideals were lofty.
he was Intellectual, turning his face toward
civilization. Esau was Arabia, Jabob was
Europe. No material conditions can ade-
quately explain the differences between
these men. Heterogeneity proceeded from
homogeneity. The difference was prenatal;
they were born for different destlnies. No
education or post-natal circumstances can
explain the wide divergence of their career.
Back of all material conditions we must
recognize the decree Of Almighty God.

SHADOWS.

From the shadow and suffering Of death,
1 lift my eyes to the enpyrean heavens, and
seem to see the galleried heights OF the
throned chambers of God and of the Lamb.
Why bend ye over, ye angel watchers?
Why thrill your hearts? Why sing your
roundelay Of welcome2 Why? Who are
these that come from afar, arrayed in white
robes? These are they which came out
of great tribulation, and have washed their
robes and made them white in the blood Of
the Lamb" They advance, they ascend,
they bow and worship. Who are nearest
the eternal throne! Ye martyr host Ye
silent sufferers Ye lonely ones on earth,
forgotten by the multitudes The well
dcne" upon the lips of the Lamb Is for you !;
the wiping away Of tears by the hand that
was pierced is for you the throne and the
crown are for you, and ye shall reign for
ever and ever. Hallelujah So let it be.
"We glory in tribulation." :. There Is
not an eye here but will weep, not heart
but will thrill with sorrow. not physical
frame but will quiver with pain. ask you,
in the face OF this coming sorrow, to take
Jesus with you. His compassions Will make
you more than conquerors. l ask you to
stand to your post and quit you like men,

FIRST STATE ELECTION

Majority in Its History.

Vermont Goes Republican by the Largess
Majority in Its Hiatory.
The Green Mountain State has declared
for Josiah Grout, Republican for Governor
and for the Republican State ticket entire,
by plurality unparalleled in the history Oh
Vermont politics.
Chairman Merritt, of the Republican state
Committee, issued final bulletin at MO
night on election day for 230 out OF Z4o
owns, giving Republican majority OF 81
s24.
The remaining towns in 1894 gave a he-
publican majority of 11Sl, and with this ma,
lority added Merritt figures majority OF
B9. 600 for the head OF the ticket.
The weather generally was cool and fa,r
throughout the State, and hundreds OF he-
publicans voted who have not been at the
POLLS for years. Practically the full Repuo-
lican vote was cast. On the other hand, the
lack of organization In the Democratic
ranks was very apparent.
The whole Republican State ticket Is
elected, and both Congressman Il. Henry
Powers, Of Morristown, and William u.
Grout, brother of the successful candidate
for Governor. are returned to Washington.
Both branches Of the Legislature are also
overwhelmingly Republican.
In the September election OF 1892 the be-
publican plurality was 1854.

CHARACTER SOVEREIGN.

It can scarcely be too often asserted that
what man is. rather than what he does or
says or thinks or believes, determines his
destiny. There is in this no implication that
the outward can be permanently separated
from the inward, but there is declaration
that the inward Is fundamental and forma-
tive. The soul itself is separated from,
and more than, the environment, hov =
