phrase is, 1t is not quite the whole truth; it Is
the tone in which the progress Of Christian
ity Is traced in comparison with the rest
of the splendid and prodigally ornamented
work, which is the radical defect in the
Decline and FALL Christianity alone re-
ceives no establishment from the magic of
Gibbons language; his imagination Is dead
to its moral dignity; it is kept down by a
general tone of jealous disparagement or
neutralized by painfully elaborate eXposi-
tion of its darker and degenerate periods.
There are occasions, indeed, when its pure
and exalted humanity, when its manifestly
beneficial Influence, can compel even him, as
it were, to fairness, and kindle his unguarded
eloquence to its usual fervor, but in general
he soon relapses into frigid apathy affects
an ostentatiously severe impartiality; notes
all the faults of Christians in every age
with bitter and almost malignant sarcasm;
reluctantly, and with exception, and reserv-
alton. admits their claim to admiration. This
ineXtricable bias appears even to influence
his manner of composition. While all the
other assailants OF the Roman empire,
whether warlike or religious, the Goth, the
Hun, the Arab, the Tartar. Alaric and At
tila, Mohammed and Zengis and Tanner
lane are each introduced upon the scene
almost with dramatic animation; their
progress related in a full, complete and un-
broken narrative, the triumph of Christian
ity alone takes the form of a cold and criti-
cal dsquisition. The success of barbarous
energy and brute force call forth all the
consummate skill Of composition; while the
moral triumphs of Christian benevolence, the
tranquil hero:sm of endurance, the blame
less purity the contempt of guilty fame and
of honors destructive to the human race,
which, had they assumed the proud name
of philosophy, would have been blazoned
in his brightest words, because they own
religion as a principle, sink into narrow
asceticlsm. The glories of Christianity, in
short, touch on no chord in the heart of
the writer; his Imagination remains I'M
kindled; his words though they maintain
their stately and measured march. have be-
come cool, argumentative and inanimate."
will conclude this paper with a remark
of Rev. j. Hogan, quoted above,
which will apply to all mature scholars no
less than to the clergymen for whom IL
was written. He says Gam. Ecces., Rev.
Feb, '97. p. 134: Least of all should
the clerical student close his eyes to un-
pleasant facts. They bear with them les
sons most salutary, though unwelcome:
neither should he. for polemcal purposes,
unfairly question or minimize them when
objected by others. To do so would show
that he mistrusts his cause or confesses
his inability to defend 1t honestly.
Consequently he should have nothing more
at heart than to be fair to his opponents
and comparing all sides of question, to do
justice to all If he would know the
whole truth, the only practical way to reach
1t is to hear both sides: Audi ct alteram

GOMEZ HAS $4,000 MEN
CUBAN ARMY IN BETTER
CONDITION THAN EVER.
So Says One OF Gomez's staff-Talk of
Autonomy and of Spanish Reforms Is
Idle-New Cuban President to lie
Elected.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Captain w.
d. Smith of the Cuban army spent con-
siderable time again yesterday with
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions. In brief interview he said:
1.-The Cuban army is now in better
condition to resist the Spaniards and
to maintain the fight for independence
than it has been since the beginning
of the war. General Gomez has
a well disciplined army of about
1000 men who are determined to
hold out until their efforts shall be
crowned with victory. Our soldiers
are rapidly procuring arms, and every
day serves to put them on better
footing in this respect Our troops
enjoy a vast advantage over the Span
iards in that they are not in juriously
affected by the climate. l may say
that | have not seen case of yell
low fever or smallpox among the
Cuban soldiers since have been
on the island, and that | have
not been sick day myself. Further
moro, we have no difficulty in feeding
our troops. In the portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are
in control, the provisions are protect
ed, and we draw our supplies from
this source. Our commissary is, there
fore, regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite
sufficient to meet all our wants"
In reply to question, Captain Smith
said: "All talk about autonomy and of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not a man in
the Cuban army who will agree to ac-
cept anything short of absolute indie
pendence.'
Captain Smith is an American. He
has been in Cuba for year and is an
officer in General Gomez body guard.
Major Smith when questioned about
the condition of the pacficos in the
country, denied empaatically that
there was any suffering among them
in the province of Las Villas.
Major Smith stated that he believed
the reports that many Americans
were starving in Cuba were greatly
exaggerated.
Gomez will soon recross the trocha
of Moron to be present at Najasa in
the month of August for the assembly
of delegates. who will then meet to
elect a new president. The election
will be controlled by the army, and
the candidate, backed by Gomez, will
be assured of success. Major Smith
says that the honor will be conferred
on Delegate T. Estrada Palma if he
will accept it, and in the event of his
declining the successful candidate will
be Dr. Mendez Capote.

The California Murderer Not to Hang

SAN FRANCISCO, June THE attor-
neys for Theodore Durrant again APP
peared before Judge Gilbert, in the
United States circuit court, yesterday
and applied for writ of supersedeas
for the purpose of staying the execu-
ton of the sen tence, but this was de-
MED by the court. An application for
leave to appeal from this decision to
the supreme court of the United States
was then granted. Although it is an
open question whether, in view of the
denial of the writ of supersedeas, the
order of the court acts as stay of
proceedings, Attorney General Fltz-
gerald wired to Warden Hale to take
no action in the premises, pending the
appeal.
AS the United States supreme court
does not meet again until October
next, this virtually means respite
for six months at least.
