could not divorce him. Being only a
slave different system of morals was
| applied to her. This was the origin
of our double standard of morals that
| winks at acts in men and ostraciSes
women for doing the same.
If there is one good thing that has
been started by Christianity l have
never been able to find it. Christian
ity has taught that it was not a sin
for a man to have a dozen or more
wives and kept women. Solomon and
David are praised all the time and
yet neither could live out side of a
penitentiary any where in the United
States. Religious fakirs try to put all
the short comings of society on a lack
of faith or at the doors of the saloons
| but they ought to shoulder them them
selves for they are the guilty parties.
Christianity has burned heretfcs and
| used instruments of torture in bring
| ing penitents to Christ that would
make a cruel savage turn green with
envy. She has produced the dungeon,
the rack, the thumb screw, the stake
and the iron virgin. She has instituted
crusades for the sole purpose of
Strengthening 'infider' Mohammedans.
She has killed people for witchcraft.
She has outlawed science and bound
the brains of inquiry with the iron
bands of fear and faith. She has up
held slavery and defended the divine
rights of Kings.
Christianity has been the deadly upas
tree Of civilization and beneath the
deadly shade of her branches lie the
nd
white and fieshless bones of thousands
of the best of the sons of the men; the
remains of hundreds of thousands of
pure and noble women who were kill
ed as witches; the advocates of reason
and science. Her poisonous breath has
blackened the characters of those she
could not kill and still finds joy in the
hellish work.
Prostitution is fiourishing under the
flag of the cross. More preachers than
saloon keepers are convicted of seduc-
ton and adultery and yet in compar-
ison they are more apt to be shielded.
The city of Toxic is pagan Japan
found it expedient to pass law regu-
lating some actions of our Christian
missionaries in which it was enacted
that they should not change their mis-
tresses more than once in six months.
If our religious fanatics would open
their eyes to the facts they ought to
be able to see that as long as women
are classed by law as being on a par
with paupers, criminals, minors and
insane persons that they will never
develop as good a character as they
would were they the equal of men.
Religion has put them where they
are and has debased men so that they
are not willing to be as noble and gen.
erous as the pagans were. As the
Christians claim this to be Christian
nation it follows that it is Christians
who produce and support the houses
of prostitution and the palaces of
drink. Preachers intoxicate the people
with spiritual, stuff and they then be-
come drunkards, hbertines, etc, etc.
II is time that people Quit cursing
the saloons and houses Of i'll fame ard
hunt for their cause. When this is
done the church win find that robe Of
sanctity is not enough nor her reputa-

III TeleBlOn,
What damned error, but some sober
brow
VIII bless it, and approve it with a
text."-Shakespeare.
1t is the boast of all Christians that
Christianity is the sole conserver of
morals. That all the good qualities Of
men and women are due TO its infiu-
ence. That all the happiness Of home
and joys of life are produced by its
teachings which have the same effect
on character that sunshine and need
ed rain have on the growing crops.
While all Christians make these claims
the facts are directly opposite to them.
There is not a crime known to our time
but what can be defended by texts
from the Bible. Not one.
The Bible characters that are ven
Grated and held W as examples for
us to copy were about on the same lev
ell as our criminals of today.
If any humble Christian does not be-
lieve this assertion 1 can easily pro-
duce quotations from the Bible to
prove it. Paul lied for the glory Of
God and thought he did well. Jesus
taught that we could repent and that
he would suffer for us. This was i'm
moral for no innocent person can
rightfully suffer for the guilty. AS
his first miracle he went into the wine
making business and made about one
hundred and twenty gallons of wine
out of water for people who were &C
cording to the account well drunk.
He taught improvidence and hate of
kindred He said 81 came not to bring
peace but a sword" He did not come
into the world under the shield OF
holy" matrimony. He was born or
woman but his reputed father was not
her husband. He never had a home OF
his own. He never had wife. lie
was a wanderer, vagabond. He con-
sorted with publicans and sinners and
was called a glutton, wine bibber
and a profaner, and yet We are asked
TO COPY after him. His believers have
never been as good as they would have
been had they had natural morality.
Intemperance has gone hand IN mana
with Christianity. For every text in
the Bible that opposes drinking ten
can be produced that either favors or
command it, Christian people have
been the most incorporate and most
drunken. The parson used to be
thought a good fellow if he could drink
and sit in his chair till all the others
would roll under the table with the
dogs. This was not so very long ago
either. To every Hindoo converted py
our Christian missionaries they have
produced about one hundred drunk
ards.
A saloon could be adorned very APP
propriately with Bible texts.
Christianity deprived woman of the
position that she held under pagan
nations and reduced her to 6. ehattel.
She had been. the equal Of man, but
Christianity reduced her TO the level
Of a beast. She belonged to her hus-
band the same as his horse, COW or
dog. He ceald divorce her but she

ton bright enough to hide her real
self.
The fruitful breeding ground for both
saloon and house of i'll fame is the
church.
many are forced by law to go to
church and and take communion and
If they do not do it they are arrested
Mental weakness produces weakness
of morals and character. Christianity
produces mental weakness.
The only way to right these wrongs
is to get at the cause. Reason will de-
stroy religion and common sense viii
do away with vice of all kinds as soon
as religion ceases to dwarf the minds
Of men and degrade women.

Committee Appointed by Merchant TaiIOrs
to Secure Uniformity of Style.
Five members of the Merchant Tai
lors' National Exchange, which con-
vened recently at Cleveland, will have
more to say about the way American
gentlemen will dress than all the tailors
in America combined. These five are
Frank Schwab of Chicago, Jules G. Weiss
of New York, B. R. Merwin of New
York, Robert Stewart of Philadelphia
and William E. Jones of Philadelphia.
They constitute the special committee
whose duty it shall be to report upon the
fashions of the coming year.
This committee has prepared a book
of fashions. 1t will be placed in the
hands of members Of the exchange ex-
clusively, and its suggestions will be
followed by members of the exchange
as far as it is possible to do So Mem
bers of the exchange have decided to
make the styles of New York and San
Francisco as nearly alike as possible.

"You will find American fashion
plates in every European capital" he
said. ''They may be found in Tokyo,
Yokohama and in remote quarters of the
globe. We no longer go abroad for our
Styles but the foreigner comes to Amer
ca for his style of dress. The Prince of
Wales is no longer leader Of style, and
if he follows the English fashions he is
following an American style. In Eng
land the fashionable shoulder is called
the American shoulder. Styles are not
made by tailors, but by the people Tai
Tors take their patterns from well dressed
men. They cut clothes according to a
mans build, his walk, his complexion,
and thus they establish styles, and others
follow"

WORLDS BEST THIN ARMOR
Remarkable Plates at Indian Head That
Shot Could Not Crack.

The navy department is securing a
constant improvement in the quality of
its armor plate A test made at Indian
Head the other day demonstrated that
it now possesses the best thin armor at
least in the whole world. A four inch
plate representing some of the side armor
of the battleship Kearsarge, that was
we'll up on the bows, was fired at with a
five inch gun. Not long ago a shot was
calculated as able completely to pene-
trate an armor plate of ~ times as
thick as it's caliber. In other words, a
five inch shot would penetrate plate
TX inches thick.
This four inch plate, however, not
only kept the shot out, but it smashed
it up, and the only mark left on the
plate was slight dishing in the center,
not more than half an inch deep. This
passed the plate. Then another shot was
taken at it to ascertain the power re-
quired to perforate the plate. This was
accomplished only by giving the shot
the high velocity of 1885 feet per sec
ond, and even then the plate was not
cracked -Washingto Post.

Offices, statuary hall and the elevators
Employees of the house were specially

structed to rigidly enforce the order
The members of the house, of course,
do not pay the slightest attention to the
regulations, and some Of the police say
that inasmuch as the order is not signed
by any one they do not believe they
could rightly arrest man or boy should
he insist on smoking.
