REV. DIR. GoRDoN's ADDRESS.


Old Souths Eloquent Pastor Lectures
at Marauand Chapel on Significance
of the Ideal.
Among the many eminent men that
have spoken to the faculty and stu
dents of Yale Divinity school none is
more popular and listened to with keen
ar interest than the pastor of the new
Old South church of Boston.
Yesterday afternoon, when DIR. Fish
er, the dean, introduced Rev. George
A. Gordon D. d., to the large audience
gathered in Marquand chanel, he was
greeted by storm Of applause, which
lasted for several minutes.
The subject was one that DIR. Gordon
| Is perhaps better qualified to speak up"
on than any other man in the country,
and yesterday the lecturer was at his
best Gradually he led his audience
from the common places of the study,
up and on. 1t was a delightful jour-
ney,
Now, with his exquisite touch. he lin
gered over some charming wayside
scene, or sweet fancy. Again he breaks
away. and in purest coloTs reveals his
thought in new lights till the height is
reached and the vision in all its match
| less beauty is flashed FORTH when 10,
the lecturer has passed out of sight and
his audience is left alone wondering at
the revelations.
Such was DR., Gordon's first lecture
Of the series, THE Significance Of the
Ideal" DR.. Gordon said:/
1.-THE ideal Is necessary. Without it
the religious and moral world could not
| Co., ic hn ,aAsa
ton of God passing over the world
The whole higher thought of God in
volved may be felt here. There are
two points from which the ideal can be
viewed-the human and the divine.
Truth is the ideal of the thinker, beau
ty of the artist, righteousness Of the
moralist.
Viewed from the divine side, the
| ideal is the end toward which the Cos
mos is moving. 1t is the belief that the
Creator has an end in view
Dr. Gordon sketcfed the relation of
his two propositions, speaking in pass
ing of the great intellectual activity
that has come to the century through
nature, No man measures the quick
ening the life and thought thus produc-
ed. Continuing, he said,
I'VE are in the heart of great adjust
ments. All art all science, all moral
forces are one great harmony. Wealth,
art, science, character, match man TO
nature and nature to man. Evolution
gives us the most stupendous concep-
ton of the ideal. The distance from
the start to the contamination, from
monster to man, Is Unreasonable, yet
it is the measure of Gods ideal. The
sources of the ideal are in the family
the state. in mankind. or universal So
ciety. In the great progressive unfold
ing of the eternal is the ideal revealed"
Dr. Gordon presented the fact that in
each new generation the ideal became
fresh and unsullied, and in very beau
tiful language traced its growth in
man.

We cannot but recall In this connection
an article that appeared In the Dispatch
during the late campaign In which our
contemporary POINTED out the relation be-
tween a busheI Of wheat and an ounce Of
silver and seriously contended that the
nr,oe Of one must always be equal to the
price OF the other.
Put that theory Of our free silver friends
has been so completely exploded that 1t
has now been abandoned by every
thoughtful advocate OF free coinage. As
time rolls on, and as business improves
these men w1o think for themselves VIII
surely see others OF their theories as
nroved by the facts. and as surely abandon
them as they have abandoned the wheat
and silver theory. That Is why we are SO
confident that free silver IS a doomed Is

TOBACCO EXPOSITION.

The Tobacco Journal. published at Dam
Vile. Va, suggests an international to-
bacco exposition. No place or time Is
named by the Tobacco Journal, and the
plan IS not outlined, except In a general
way.
Our contemporary suggests that the eX-
position might be held in New York,
Chicago, ST. Louis. or some other large
city, and that there be an exhibition OF
tobacco in all its forms. raw and manu-
featured, together with tobacco machin-
cry and all the appliances used in mani
pulating the weed.
During the exposition. II says. papers on
various subjects could be read. debates
arranged, and an interchange OF views be-
tween the delegates generally, to say no
thing of the social feature.
It suggests also. that tobacco exhibits
he made by associations, cities and States,
with a view to showing what each COM
munity is doing in that industry.
We have no technical knowledge Of tho
tobacco industry and cannot speak by the
card. but from the standpoint Of a lay
man we would say that such an exposI-
ton would be full OF interest and profit
to all who should take part in It.

The Buffalo Evening News is interested
IN a recent communication Of Governor
p'Ferrall TO one of the New York news
papers on the subject Of lynching. and
The News seems to be in fun sympathy
with the whites Of the South, in their en-
seavors to wipe out the brutal crime
which provokes lynching. TOO often"
Il SAYS, "the horror of the first crime is
hidden in the horror Of the lynching, and
The people are apt to give more sympathy
to the culprit thar TO his innocent, suffer
Ing victim" And the News adds this sem
Fible paragraph:
Pursuing the study OF this peculiarly
American crime. we find that its increase
has been accelerated, not lessened, by the
fearful punishment mcted out TO the
brutal criminal and the conviction has
also grown stronger that the crime of as
sault must be suppressed in order TO do
away with the outrages Of Judge Lynch.
Our contemporary is entirely right in
It's conclusions. We have repeatedly call
ed attention in these columns TO the glar-
Ing fact that lynching does not prevent
this crime, or any crime. but it is inevita-
BILE that lawlessness encourages lawless-
ness.
But to return 10 our Buffalo contempt
rary. After quoting Governor O'Ferrall's
communication. and also the communica-
ton of Governor Atkinson. OF Georgia,
the News says:
II Will be seen that while Virginia pun
ishes the crime Of assault. the first Of
tense, Governor Atkinson puts the penalty
OF lynching. the second offense, on the
taxpayers OF the county where the
lynching takes place, thereby putting the
penalty equally upon the lynchers and
those who had nothing 10 do with, and
may, from principle, be opposed 10 lynch
.ng. The consensus OF opinion will be in
favor Of the Virginia plan, especially as
II is already In operation and has proved
10 DO a successful remedy for tho evil
complained OF.
There can be no question that tho Nir-
ginia way is the best way. The main
thing after all is TO educate the people up
TO the point of so respecting and rever-
encing the law as that they will not vio-
late It under any circumstances and the
way to secure that respect, is 10 make the
law worthy OF II. The people are mightier
than the law. The law is the creation OF
the people for a specific purpose. and so
long as IL serves that purpose, the peo-
pie will respect II and uphold It, But
when tho law, through delays and techni-
calities and what not. is used TO shield
rather than to publish criminals,
then the people will surely rise up
In their might and trample 1t under their
feet. and administer justice as they be-
lieye the criminal deserves.
Let it be once understood that every
man who commits a criminal assault upon
a woman. or who attempts to commit
such an assault. will surely be legally
executed. and that the court room will
be cleared Of oil except jury and officers
OF the court when the innocent victim
Is brought forward 10 testify, and we be-
iieve that. except In extreme cases when
the crime IS so brutal as 10 cause men 20

mitted 70 take its course

STORY WITH

II seems Ia us that tho moral or the
Richmond Times story about the tariff
and the bicycle confirms the Norfolk Pr
/ lots contention that the foreign manufac-
turer, and not tho American concumcr.
pays the tariff duty when he enters the
American market. Why not? II tho
American manufacturer can afford TO pay
higher wages than his European COM
p%etitor, and then make a reduction OF
90 1-3 per cent. for the sake OF entering
a low-price market. why can not the
European manufacturer afford TO pay the
tariff duty for the sake OF enjoying a
high-price market where the rates are
guaranteed by law? The probability is
that the American exporter also paid a
duty for the privilege OF entering the
cheap market. These are some Of the in
exorable conditions Of the fierce COM
tition in trade these days.
We do not. OF course. question the Fenu-
ineness Of the instance cited by our Rich
mond contemporary. but II does seem 10
us only fair. when n case like this Is used
to discredit a nations economic policy.
that names. dates and places should also
be mentioned. II so frequently haDnens
that there are e%xtenuating and qualifying
conditions that may serve to explain. II
indeed not to reverse. the conclusions
| which might he deduced from n superficial
| view Of the matter.-Index-ADDeal.
The story TO which we referred came
| out IN a recent conversation with the wife
OF the gentleman concerned. and the good
woman had no idea that she was talk
Ing economies. She was simply interest
ed in getting a bicycle for her son. The
cad mart Of the story TO her was that her
husband had been a little diliatory in
accepting tho offer. and so lost the op-
portunity Of purchasing n high grade
wheel at a low price. OF course. we
could not under these circumstances give
the names. but the story IS altogether
| authentic. and. as our contemporary veil
knows, it IS not by any means n new
| story. nor an isolated one.
II has been time ana again stated
through the public print that ma1rfac-
turers Of certain articles sell their pro-
ducts to foreign countries at a cheaper
price than they sell them AT home.
As to the moral Of the story, the point
that we wished to make. and which we
would here emphasize. Is that American
manufacturers can compete with the
world and do not need any protection,
| and the effect Of the tariff IS unquestion-
ably TO make the American pay a higher
ptice for home made goods than he
would have to pay il there was no pro-
| tective tariff.
