publican caucuses of the Senate several weeks

secretary and a messenger to assist him In the
transaction of his business, and that he will
retain his patronage whether his party be In
the control of the Senate Or not.
The Senate has what Is known as perma-
nent roll, which is made up OF men of expert
ence, ability and technical knowledge In their
respective duties. and who are kept without
reference to Individual Senatorial support.
Such retentlons are made by the Democratic
and Republican steering committees Jointly.
based upon merit and qualification. Places
such as the legislative clerk, journal clerk, H.
pancial clerk and librarian have been on the
list, and the present occupants of these places
have been in the service OF the Senate for
more than q score OF years. Several places
have been added to the list. and among the
lucky officers is Mr.. James NJ. Baker. the as
sistant libra rian. who In from Abbevlle Coun-

VULGARITY IN THE PULPIT.

Ignorant and Impure Minded Preach
ers Who AssaiI the Press, the The.
ater, and the Dance.
A newspaper should be pure and
wholesome. So should the pulpit,
which is invaded by very ignorant, mar
row men of vile imaginations, who, in
their one-sidedness and bind zeal, if
not in debased self-righteousness and
lust that delights in the selacious, COM
nit the crime Of which they imagine
others guilty, in their ignorant denun-
Citations of the ball, the theater and
the newspaper. Waterloo, Iowa,
seems to have been recently afflicted
with one of these lustful-minded ignor-
amuses, who may be away up in relig-
ion, but way down in piety. He is
one of those modern irresponsibles,
falsely called evangelists, who create
excitement by blasphemous utterances,
vulgarity, and the violation of every
law of purity and correctness in speech
and deportment. The Waterloo Couri-
er describes one of his efforts in no
uncertain terms, as follows:
before q mixed audience of from
500 to 1000 he delivered talk that
would not bear reproduction in news
paper going into homes of decent
people and through the mails of the
United States. In fact, the rotten OBJ
scenity he poured out on his hearers
would not have the ghost of show for
transmission through the mails. He
preached for twenty minutes on the
theater and then launched out on the
main subject of his discourse, which
continued until 1890. His roughness
and vulgarity could net but bring a
blush of shame and feeling of uneasi-
ness to his hearers, and had they been
consistent and followed his preaching
on the theater they would have left
the auditorium themselves or seen that
he was removed. ."-National Printer
