"THe POLITICAL CRISIS"
Sen, ationaI Sermon Preached by New
York Minister.

New York, Sept s.-Rev Thomas
Dixon. Jr., preached a sensational SER
mon at the Academy OF Music Sunday
morning on THE Political Crisis" He
said many pointed things of William
Jennings Bryan, the Democratic and
free silver movement In doing so he
managed to stir up "a hornets nest
and create a scene I'm which cheers and
Kisses were about equally mingled.
Professor Edwin V. Wright who
founded the Anti-Monopoly league
and the Bimetallic association. was in
the audience. He has just returned
from a stumping tour for silver with
George Fred Williams through New
England. He listened quietly to Mr.
Dixon until the preacher asserted that
the Republican party stood for all that
was good and pure. while the Demo-
cratic party was the champion of all
that was the absolute reverse.
Then Professor Wright jumped to his
feet. shook his fist at the pastor and
absolutely false. You don't know
what you are talking about"
All were dismayed for a moment. and
then shout of applause arose. fol-
lowed by storm OF Kisses Rev. MIR
Dixon had not expected all this and
IT took him several minutes 10 dis
cover his own location. Then he pro-
ceeded calmly with his dissertation.
He complimented the Populists and
said the Peoples party had been much
maligned. He continued:
The proposition of Mr.. Bryan and
his party to pay off the bonds Of the
United States, on which 100 cents on
the dollar were raised. i'm coin worth
only SO cents on the dollar is down
right rascality. II Is nothing more
or less than bunko steering"
II won't stand this any longer" said
a patriarchial looking man with a
long, flowing white beard, and he left
the building. Others followed. Then
Mr. Dixon scored Mr.. Bryan for advo-
eating a policy which. he said. would
permit insurance companies to pay
widows and orphans in deprecated
coin. He predicted disaster in case of
Bryan's election, and said that fully
100000 men would be Immediately
thrown out of work Everyone to
whom a dollar was due would get only
SO cents
1T is not true" shouted James T.
Madden. Then there was more APP
plause and more Kisses. Mr.. Madden
went to the speaker, gave him his
card and left the place.
After the discourse Professor Wright
declared his intention of challenging
Mr.. Dixon to a debate on the silver
question.

President VIII Call Congress In Extra
Session Would DO So for the'
Purpose of Providing More Revenne. and
Rryan for the Purpose of a Free silver
Bill.
Washington, Sept. S.-There is one|
thing upon which the leaders of both
political parties here are settled anol
harmonious. to wit: that whichever
ticket be elected next November, con 4
gress will be called together in extra|
session so soon as possible after the in
auguration next March. IL Mckinley is
elected he will issue the call for the
purpose OF having congress provide
more revenue. IL is probable that con,
gress will be asked TO pass an entirely
new tariff bill, although some deem II
wiser TO devote the extra session Il
passing merely bill 10 guard against
a deficit and then wait till the regular
session before trying to enact new
general tariff law. In view Of the fact
that the free silver men will continue
I'm power in the senate. II will hardly
matter whether the extra session be
called for an expediency bill or an en-
tirely new measure. Free silver men
here say that their representatives in
the senate will follow the same pro-
gramme which governed them I'm the
last session, and decline 10 let tariff
measure of any kind come 10 a vote
unless a free silver bill be attached
VIII BE No Delay.
Should Bryan be elected he will lose
no time in calling congress together
to pass a free silver bill. Any one sug-
gesting postponing action till the regu-
lar session in the following December
will be pushed aside. In the event OF
his election Bryan will feel that the
people want free silver and that there
should be no delay In giving II 20 them.
He believes confidently that his cleo
ton will mean a free silver house. and
should that prove true Bland Will be
speaker. Should the house not be foi
free silver Bryan will nevertheless call
an extra session No result In the
shape of a free silver bill would come
of IL, but Bryan would feel that he had
done his own duty to the people and
that upon congress would rest the
blame for not doing that for which il
was called. Even with a free silver
house. a long fight is certain in the
| senate: for the anti-free silverites
| though not in the majority there, are

vote so long az possible, in the hope
