ROMAN THEOLOGY,
Subject Of Rev. Mr.. Selleck's Dis
course Last Evening.
Interesting Lecture Listened to BY a
Large Congregation.

"The Roman on Latin Theology" was the
Rev w. @. Scllecly's subject in his course Of
lectures on the history of Christian doctrines,
in the Church of the Mediator last evening.
He said among number of interesting things,
that new religion introduced among peo-
pie, inevitably conforms somewhat TO that
people sAsharacter. He gave careful analysis
OF the Roman type of character and showed
how ii was expressed I'm all tho institutions
of the Roman civilization. The events of the
world which threw the center OF Christian
influence from Alexandria 10 Rome were de.
scribed and the gradual rise OF the church in
the Imperial City 10 place of leadership. He
said the Roman Church was Church of Ro.
mans-converted to Christianity, indeed; but
still Romans having the Roman spirit. apti.
tudas and tendencies. The pagan religion of
Rome had been mainly matter of precise
ceremonies in the worship of the deities, and
in the observance of sacred times and sea
sons: it had come to be closely identified with
tho interests of the State II was ma - al
that such characteristics and conceptions
should be carried over from heathenism 10
Christianity, and that becuase of them the Ro
man Christians should conceive OF the Church
as an institution having social and political
functions. Thus, we can see how easy il was
for them 20 adopt the idea of the church as an
external institution, requiring 10 be system
atically organized and thoroughly governed.
In due time the logical outcome of all this
was the establishment OF the hierarchy with
all its ranks, and the growth of the notion Of
tho church's political mission. Meanwhile,
the age was "A dark and ominous one. and a
crisis was fast approaching in the affairs of
the world which clllod for n man of uassionate
faith and earnostness to shape its thought, and
one of great Christian statesmanship 10 snaps
its ecclesiastical policy. The first of these de-
mands was met in the person of Augustine,
and the second In Leo /.
A brief sketch Of the life and teaching Of st.
Augustine was given. Leo the Great and his
vast service to all the higher interests of civil
ization in his perilous time was described.

IMPORTS OF JEwELRY AND PRECIOUS
STONES.

Compare this table with that made by Mr..
Bowditch, and ponder on the result. 1t shows
that while under the Mckinley bill the i'm
ports of jewelry fell off one half, under the
Wilson bill they doubled right up. despite the
hard times.
The reduction OF imports OF precious stones
is another story, but here also the benefcence
of the protection idea is shown. Up to 1894
the duty on diamonds and other precious
stones was ten per cent The Wilson bill
made IL 25 per cent. This was not intended
as a protection measure, but IL had that
effect. Coincident with the market increase
i'm the diamond duties, the diamond cutting
industry was begun in this country ON large
scale. Diamonds are now cut in large quanti-
ties I'm several factories in New York, Brook
lyn, Newark, and Cincinnati. Consequently
the .mportations have fallen off in a marked
degree as shown by the above table. The hard
times of the past three years have also served
to reduce the demand for these distinctly
articles of luxury.
II the reade ,ssll '1ooK on this picture and
then on that, - he will clearly see that figures
can be made to lie. We do not mean to init
mate that Mr.. Bowditch has made willful
Misrepresentation, but his use of the figures
shows the folly of a man writing concerning
something with which he is entirely unfamil
iar.-The Manufacturing Jeweler
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-02-15

Josiah B. Bowditch. an able statistician,
but with perverted Judgment. owing TO his
free trade ideas. writes thus in the Providence
Journals:
The manufacturing jewellers have recently
memorialized Congress- asking for more pro-
lection. They say that under the Wilson bill
foreign manufactures have copied American
styles Of goods. have thus taken the export
trade 10 Mexico and South America away
from American jewelry manufacturers, and
''are making ready to drive us out of our
home markets" On the strength Of this
state of things the jewellers modestly ask for
more than the Mckinley rate. which was 80
per cent. The entire labor cost OF making
jewelry in this country, as the foregoing fig-
ures show, is less than 30 pcr cent, and the
present tariff law gives them 3S per cent.
What ground have they for complaint? jew
elry Is luxury, and when people have no
money with which 10 buy food and clothing
they are not purchasing jewelry. This state
Of things is 10 DO regretted, but our tariff law
is not In fault. Besides, how can law be
framed that will prevent British or German
jewelry men from undersellng MS In Mexico
and South AmericaI Just how true IL is that
the present law is letting in foreign jewslry
can be judged from the official figures OF our
imports and exports since the Mckinley law
went into operation. Here are tho statistics:

The New Cripple Creek.

The most popular train from Denver to
Cripple Creek in these days is the "Eleven-
come-Seven," which leaves Denver IN
foot of Bennett avenue, In the metropolis
OF the gold-iields,a at about sunrise. There
Is something about the namo of the train,
borrower as it 10 from the phrsseology OF
tho game of "craps," that smacks of
chance; and its peculiarly appropriate
title probably has as much to do with its
popularity as has the convenience OF be-

The visitor, arriving at the foot Of Ben

remark first upon the temperature, which
he flnos surprisingly genial as compared
even with Denver, and the almost iDvsris-

garded as somewhat phenomenal. But II

occasion him a. much srrprise as when,
a few minutes later, having been whirled
away from the handsome stone station In
the bus, he finds himself In the spacious
lobby Of q hotel that in architecture would

not surprised when, in subsequent walk
through ths length OF Bennett avenue, he
observes its artistic shop fronts, its sub

TO REGULATE THE PRIMARIES.

An interesting attempt to regulate the
primary meeting so that party csucuses
shall not be controlled by ambitious
| candidates through assistance from citi-
zens not in fellowship with the party
represented by the primary Is proposed
by a bill introduced into the Ney York
bly, by Senator Pavey. A similar
measure is now 10 operstio n in the State
OF Kentucky where il is said to work
satisfactorily. 1he fundamental idea of
the "Kentucky plan" and the Pavey bin
is a provision for asking of citizens who
register:
"Do you desire to register for the pur-
pose Of participating in the primaries of
the political party with which you atfili-
ate?"
The voter may answer this ones
tion or he may refuse to declare how ne
intends to vote at the next election.
When ne declines to answer the
question or answers ''no" he simply has
no right to participate in the primaries
OF any political party during the next
political year. When he answers the ques-
tion in the affirmative. he is then asked: /:
"With which party do you affiliate?" The
name of the political party given in an
swer 10 this question is recorded in the
columns of the registry book.
All those who declare their party alli-
snce will be entitled to vote at any
primary and convention OF their respec-
tive political party for period of one
year from the next election day. These
lists will be fled with the proper Official
and certified copies of the same may be
procured by any person, and must be
procured by County Committees as the
basis of representation In conventions
snd participation in primary elsct ions
for the following year.
