With hort.sighted persistency
they are emphasizing the height
of The one and the ebb of the
other as if by SO doing they had
solved not only the financial
problem but every other question
in dispute. Not content with a
merely verbal presentation Of the
case they have gone into the di-
agram business, and ascending
wheat and descending silver are
placed side by side.
1t seems to us that in thus lay
ing undue stress upon Il purely
fictitious circumstance, these
politicians are playing with edged
tools. If wheat would ALWAYS re
main at the top notch and silver
be always in the trough. there
might be some value in the dem
onstrations which have bcen pre-
pared with such care. ON the
contrary. no one can tell what a
year may bring forth Next
September. on the eve OF an i'm
portant Congressional election,
after a bouutitul season abroad.
wheat may be at a low level.
while unforeseen factors NAV com
bine to raise silver. Strange
things than this have happened.
Even while the air is still echoing
with the contrasts emphasized by
the opponents of silver, the latter
is advancing in value. What its
course may be in the future no
one ,an tell. Still more erratic
may be the price Of wheat.
1t is good thing for the farm.
er to obtain the most remunera
tive figures for his produce. 1t
is not altogether as satisfactory
to see metal which serves as the
basis for large amount of the
worlds money undergoing CON
slant depreciation. What we de
desire to point out however, is
that the present conditions are
not likely to be lasting. When
they change the arguments based
upon them lose force and con.
vincing power Some of the
most Jealous gold standard peo-
pie may even now be throwing
boomerangs which will return TO
plague them. Reforms in an un-
satisfactory monetary system are
not to be accomplished by relying
exclusively upon nstable con
ditions. The contrary idea seems
to De unfortunately prevalent and
to those who hold such views our
word of warning may not be out
of place.

Court Record.
The supreme court will meet in

DECISION AGAINST DIR. FULLER.
In the suit Of DR.. Austin B. Fuller Of
this city and others against the Metro
politan Life Insurance company of New
York city, yesterday morning another
Judgment was handed down. Judge
Shumway Of the superior court finds
that the claim of DR.. Fuller and the
plaintiffs is almost forceless and now
the suit will go to the supreme court.
The case is a familiar one on New
Haven court dockets, and has been
quoted all over the country as prece-
dent. AS 1t has been decided both
ways by superior court Judges, the pre-
cedent is not regarded as at all estab-
lished.
Two years ago DR.. Fuller collected
the claims of a number of policy hold
ers in the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company and brought suit against the
concern, alleging that it had used i'm
proper methods in applying the ''re-
serve dividend fund.- system. The
amount of the policies held by the
plaintiffs was over 100000. The case
was tried before Judge A. S. Wheeler
in the superior court, the contest last
ing many weeks. Judge Wheeler took
several months to compile his decision
and finally announced that the COM
pany had used fraud in its manipula-
ton of the mooted reserve" methods.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.
A Violent Attack Made by the Impair
cial


cial.
Madrid, Oct. 20.-The Impartial
makes a violent attack on the United
States, basing it's remarks on the all
legged departure recently of filibuster-
ing expeditions from American ports
bound for Cuba, and urges the Spanish
government to ask explanations of the
government of the United States. The
paper recalls the words of Senior Sa-
gasta, before he assumed the premier
ship, and says:
''It is impossible for us to submit to
such humiliations. We must act with
energy towards Washington"

AT THE MINISTER'S, MBEr1Nc.

Antecedents of the Revelation OF Jesus
at His Baptism Discussed by DR.. Ben
jamin w. Bacon at the Meeting on
Monday Morning.
The professor remarked that there is
supernatural side to every occur
renee. What is open to our view is the
natural, MAYNARD, seamy side of an
historical fabric. 1t is the human side
of Jesus nature which we may know,
and which we are now to study. The
Unitarian errs in alleging that Jesus is
only man; another may err in regarding
Jesus as God only. Both errors break
down the bridge between us and divin-
ity. The humanity of Jesus was nor
NAL humanity, that of perfect man;
but in studying His humanity the side
which we may know, we recognize that
this is not the only side Of His nature.
DR.. Bacon assumed the position that
previous to His baptism, Jesus had not
understood His mission, had not con-
ceived that He alone was to undertake
the redemption Of mankind. The con-
scious Of His Messianic calling did not
eliminate until the august fact was
fully disclosed at baptism: Upon
Thee my good pleasure has fallen"
But epoch making occurrences have
antecedents. When waters all at once
flow over a dam. they have been long
accommodating. A political revolution in
q country is the elimination of ante
cedent movements long continued.
Jesus was subordinate to His parents,
and deferred to religious customs, and
had regard to conventional views. He
asked questions of the sages in the
| temple, and learned whatever they could
teach. BY such means, we may believe
there was a development of the Mes
sianic consciousness within Him, while
His humility and modesty prevented
Him from realizing how unique and
transcendant His career was to be. We
may suppose that He was early con-
scious of divine soulship, and His choice
of the despised state of celibacy was
doubtless dictated by His anticipation
of a career which was to be exceptional
and singular without precedent; but
| the full disclosure of his mission as the
| Redeemer appears to have occurred at
| His baptism. In reply to question,
the profession said if he were speaking
as a physician rather than as an
historical critic, he would define Christ
Jesus with the Nicene creed, as Very
God of very God"
The clergy present paid the closest
attention to Prof. Bacon's unfolding of
his theme and they had occasion to
feel that they were communing with a
strong and acute mind alert, resource
full, independent, yet discriminating and
reverent. Many questions were asked,
and the replies were illumining.
/ Among the clergy in attendance We're

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Colonel w. R.
Holloway left for home this afternoon to
get his affairs in shape for a four years
absence in Europe The colonel declines
absolutely to say what appointment he is
to receive, but from a State Department
source it is learned that he will be con-
sui general at st. Petersburg, and that the
appointment will be made about Sept. L.
Colonel Holloway would have preferred
something in England or Ireland, where fat
consular fees enrich the pocket, but as
these posts were all promised he was not
sorry to accept the higher sounding but
somewhat less remunerative office of consul
general at St. Petersburg. The colonel has
been in Washington since the Inauguration
but it must be said of him that he has
been extremely modest in the matter of
pressing his claims. Colonel Holloways APP
pOintment will be charged to the Presi-
dents personal account.

HOUSE PASSES TWO BILLS.
One in Interest of Coal Shippers and
Another Concerning Alaska.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-When the
House met to-day Mr.. Dalzel presented
from the committee on ways and means a
bill to authorize the President to suspend
in part or in whole the discriminating du-
ties imposed on the vessels of foreign
countries which impose similar duties on
our vessels. He explained that existing
Mexican laws imposed discriminating du-
ties on vessels carrying lumber and general
cargo, but exempted those carrying coal.
AS the President had no authority to sus-
pend duties on vessels carrying coal, Car
diff and Wales now monopolized the coal
trade of Mexico, which properly belonged
to the coal mines of Alabama, Tennessee
and Pennsylvania. This bill designed
to allow a partial suspension of duties.
Messrs. Underwood (Dem., Alabama,
Wheeler (Dem.. Alabama), McMillin (Dem.,
TENNESSEE and Ridgeley (Pop., Kansas.)
The bill was passed.
Mr. Lacey (Rep., Iowa. secured unani-
nous consent for the consideration Of a bill
to amend the act creating a civil govern
ment in Alaska 1t was identical with the
ing a surveyor general and register and
receiver of the general land office. 1t, how
ever, contained additional feature en-
pOwering the President to create an addi
tional land district. Mr.. Lacey explained
that the Yukon valley gold discoveries rem
dered an additional land office imperative.
In answer to a question, he said the gold
British North America. The Klondyke re-
gion was in Canada. The bill was passed.
AT 1855 the House, on motion of Mr..
Dingley, took a recess until tomorrow.
