There is no necessity for this. A clergy

due to physiological causes. aud not to
the attacks of any fungus. The 'black

ance. thus giving rise to the name
BLACK rust" The causes Of the dis.
ease are not we'll understood as vet. but
1t has been demonstrated that the fun.
gus organisms do not originate the dis.
ease, and that they only hasten the de.
struction of the already diseased plants
Trials OF various fungicides have proved
that the disease cannot be prevented by
their application. Experiments at the
Alabama Station showed reduction of
the disease where kainit was used as
fertllizer. This effect is more pro-
nounced i'll seasons Of drouth, followed
by copious rains, than when rains are
frequent enough to keep the soil con-
tlnually moist. and is doubtless due to
the action of the kainit sin binding
more firmly together the soil particles,
SO that it is more retentive of moisture,
or more able to drawit up from below"
Wood ashes and salt are known to
produce much the same results in the
soil" The red rust" or "red leaf
blight" which is so common on thin
uplands, and so rare on rich or alluvial
soils. is the result simply of impover-
lshed soil, showing particularly lack
OF nitrogen. and probably of potash and
phosphoric acid also. The remedy for
this Is by proper rotation of crops. to

matter, and then with proper fertil;;zing

With committees averaging six mem

comprising more than One-Seventh OK

to inquire of the presiding officer, or a
brother member what il is you are to

So it goes day after day Bills are
drawn loosely and carelessly; they are
rushed through committees without any
study, and then passed upon and amend
ed in the main body with less thought
than you would give to the purchase OF
a pocket knife or q pair of Overalls. The
memb ers are not to blame. Most OF
them try to do the best they can and
fulfill their duties cOnScientiOusly, where
their own personal interests are not in

they are; but the system is altogether
vicious. 1t sets men who are unframed

You can't have the best government
nor even good government until this is
changed. To prepare laws is a work

wisdom and the broadest culture If
they are to make radical changes, they
ought to be carefully drawn by men
educated to the work and deVoting

relieve it of the unaccustomed work of
preparing laws and deprive it of the
power to impose upon the people any
enactment they might decline to accept.
Strengthened III each direction in the
way suggested, the representative body
could aid in intelligently executing the
peoples will. AS it now is the chances
are very largely against any change
being made in the interest of all the
people.

NEWHOUSE OF WORSHIP
Another Splendid Temple Add

The First Christian Church
Dedicated on Sunday.
DR. Sweeney of Columbus, Ind,
5 breaches the Dedicatory Sermon.

The First Christian church was dedi-
Gated yesterday morning with apprO-
pirate ceremonies before an audience of
1000 people. The new structure looked
very attractive. The handsome interior
finishing showed that taste as well as
expense had been used in it's selection.
For ten long years the members of
the First Christian church have strug-
gled to get a church building. First the
Sunday school room was built and
meetings were held there. This was in
1887 Later the foundation of the pres
ent edifce was laid, but again the
funds gave out and another delay oc-
Cured Gradually the walls were rails
ed and the work crept along slowly but
surely.
At last it was finished. 1t was a thing
of beauty. The walls are of stone.
The interior finishing is something new
and handsome. The walls are tinted
and frescOed and the ceiling is of a pat

He did not use that term, but the
phrase, Kingdom of God, a dream of
a reconstructed social order as old as
the Republic of Plato.
Socialism and Christianity alike be
lieve in making the world better; the
one from without, the other from with

order Every good man cannot escape
the duty of being both individualist and
socialist at the same time. Judas and
his money bag afford a field of labor for
both.
The gold link binding Christianity
with socialism is the commandment.

PATERNALISM.
San Francisco Pastor Compares Chris
tianity and Socialism.

San Francisco, May 1O.-Last evening
Rev. William RAIDER of the Third Con-
gregational church spoke on Christi
anity and Socialism" In part he said:
In the evolution of government we
have passed the stage where govern
ment was everything and man was
nothing, and the stage where man was
everything and the government moth
ing.
''The one was the age of paternalism,
when the individual sat in the lap of
the state; the other was the age of per
sonaI liberty, according to the doctrine
of Rousseau.
I'VE are now enjoying the period of
fraternity in which the government and
personal freedom are working in har-
mony. Out of this new relation is
springing a, universal unity. In relig-
ion we call it brotherhood, in politics
democracy and in industry and society
socialism.
christianity and socialism have much
in common when both are properly de-
fined. Christian socialism is applied
Christianity. This means more than
single element of socialism such as
state ownership of the implements of
industry.
There is a Christianity in socialism
and a socialism in Christianity. Jesus

M'KINLEY WORRIED.
He Suspects an Organized Raid on
the Gold Reserve.

Washington, May 1O.-An important
conference took place at the White
House this morning by the president.
Secretary Gage and Mr.. Conrad JOr-
dan, assistant treasurer in charge Of
the subtreasury in New York city.
The consultation was relative to the
slow but steady growth of the gold
shipments abroad during the last few
weeks.
Senators, representatives, and office
seekers generally were held in check
while the president discussed the finan-
cial problem. The participants in the
conference We're extremely reticent
when interviewed on the subject, but
enough is known to justify the sta te-
ment that the president is seriously dis
turbed by what he fears is a systematic
assault upon the gold reserve similar to
that which so harrassed Mr.. Cleveland
Just what policy the Mckinley admin
astration will adopt to meet the raid
upon the gold reserve is still under
consideration, and Mr.. Jordan was sum
moned to the White House to advise
with the president as to the best plan
to be adopted.
Under existing laws there is no pro-
lection for the government against an
assault on the reserve. It is the opinion
of the treasury officials that the present
raid is being made by spectators who
find the United States the cheapest and
most profitable market in which to OBJ
tain gold.
France England. Russia and other
financial centers of Europe protect their
&Olu ny putting up the price TO Sucn z
point that it ceases to be profitable for
speculative purposes European and
American bankers are not ignorant of
this peculiar condition of affairs, and
many of them do not hesitate to take
advantage of the opportunities to spec
ulate in American gold
IT is believed that the present admin
1stra ton will be severely taxed in its
efforts to combat the bankers and bro
&1ers who are about to repeat the tactics
they resorted to during the last admin
1stratiOn, when the gold reserve was
seriously depleted. The subject was I'M
der cOusidera ton at the cabinet meet
Ang today, and it is understood that the
administration will urge the RepubIi-
cans in the senate to all diligence in Sc
curing the prompt passage of the tariff
bill with a view to making way for
such financial legislation as may here
after be deemed advisabl to meet the
emergency a member of the admins
Grafton remarked today:
We do not propose to make the mis-
take made by Cleveland. He came into
power on the tariff issue but instead of
making his fight on that issue he took
up the money question, upon which his
party was hopelessly divided. The Re
publican party is today divided on the
money question, but we are united in
favor of the passage of a tariff BILL

A CITY FOR THE IDLE.
Town Started to be Peopled With
Unemployed.

Akron. o., May 1o.-A new town is
being built three miles west of this city
in COpley township, which will bear the
name of Garden City. Its promoters
intend that Garden City shall be home
for unemployed men, and one in which
they can find heaIthful employment at
n Lg wages Their plan is not. of
seems it Will be of mutual benefit to all
concerned.
The Copley Garden company owns A.
COO acres Of land in Copley township
and this will be the site of Garden City.
In the large garden Of celery and other
plants the company has worked it finds
that 500 worth of labor is necessary on
each acre of celery grown Five acres
will keep one family pretty busy during
the summer
The company proposes to cut this 4. 600
acres up into five acre tracts as fast as
the land is brought to a good state of
cultivation, and on each little tract
house will be erected. The tenant may
purchase outright or work for the com
pany.
Already a score of houses have been
built and several more are now going
up.

BUST OF SHERMAN LOANED
Two Valuable Paintings Loaned to
the Academy of the Fine Arts

the Academy of the Fine Arts.
Philadelphia, May 1O.-The permanent
collection of the Academy of the Fine
Arts has just been enriched by the ad-
dition of two notable pictures and a
bust of General Sherman by Augustus
st. Gaudens. The paintings are Jules
Lefebvre's Psyche and The Cid" by
the great Spanish artist Rfbera- The
Psyche was first exhibited at the
Paris Salon in 1888 and was immediate
ly recognized as a great work of art.
The picture is a large canvas represent
ing nude girl seated on a high rock
overlooking the sea. In her hands is
casket and at her feet lies a serpent
form is perfection. The Psyche was
recently purchased by an unknown
buyer, and through the generosity of
the owner has been placed in the gal
1eTy of the Academy.
The picture by Ribera is one of the
finest examples of this master, and per
haps has no equal in this country 1t
represents 1.-The Cid'' in an attitude of
supplication, with head uplifted and
hands on breast. 1t is dark and rich
in tone, and is altogether a master
piece of an era which the Academy
collection has not hitherto represented
This valuable addition to the Acade-
my's collection is the property of Miss
Mary A. Hearn, the daughter of George
A. Hearn, the wealthy collector of New
York. She has long been a pupil of the
Academy's schools, preferring to study
art in Philadelphia than in New York,
and has repeatedly exhibited in the an
nual shows. The Ribera will remain in
the galleries indefinitely through the
Hberality of its owner.
