Is secretary Of the interior. Vest was
the principal speaker In opposition. In
his remarks he stated that he mad moth
ing personally against Francis. but
called attention to the action Of the
secretary during the campaign. He said
that the secretary had written and pub
lished letter in which he asserted
that the Democratic party was engaged
in campaign Of dishonor. Any per
son making such n statement could not
receive his support for any position.
He also declared that Secretary Fran
els. since the election. had removed men
from Office In his department because
these men had supported the
regular Democratic ticket. and
that as a Democrat the Missouri
senator resented any such action by n
cabinet officer. Vest said he had voted
against the confirmation of Francis In
committee. and that he would vote
against the nomination In the senate.
White Of California. a member Of the
committee on finance. stated that while
he did not approve Of the course Of
Francis during the campaign and had
presided over the convention which

He added. however. that he did not

Senate In Executive session-Bogus Butter
Talk In the House.

AesA ~ Tue house.
Washington, Jan. H.-The opening
session of the senate yesterday was
much curtailed by an executive session
lasting two hours. After this the hal
ance of the day was given to Bacon of
Georgia In speech uphoiding the DOW =
er OF congress to recognize new govern
ments. The senator insisted that the
arrogant assertion OF one-man power
threatened to make the presidential
power greater than that exerted by anv
monarch. An agreement was reached
Tor vote on the free homestead bill
at p. m. today. The executive ses-
sion was largely devoted to Vests OBJ
lection to the confirmation Of Frnnci.
as secretary of the interior. which OBJ
lection was entirely political. The con-
firmation is still hung up owing 10
senatorial courtesy
After a very dull day devoted to mass
Ing bills OF minor Importance the house
plunged into a warm controversy over
a bill to make oleomargerine and other
limitations of dairy products subject TO
the laws Of the states into which they
are transported. The author OF the bill.
Grant Of Vermont. led the fight for Il
and II was opposed by the Democrats
and several Republicans chiefly on the
ground that IL would give the states
power to prohibit the use Of such prod
ucts.
The house got into q parliamentary
struggle over the measure on account of
the determination OF Cannon to secure
more time for its consideration. and ad
1ourned leaving II unfinished. One of
the senate bills passed was to withdraw
from the supreme court criminal cases
other than capital and leave jurisdic-
tion over them TO the courts of appeals

of Temperance, Thursday at l0:30 a. m.
God has given life to all men. Perfect
life is perfect health, without this we

not pervert nature in any way.
We all have mission in this world.
God has placed US here that we may be

keep this in view and glorify God: be
laboring to uplift the fallen men wher-
ever we find them, and they are to be
found everywhere.
In our mission in Chicago we meet a
great many who are destitute, they
have neither food nor shelter. many OF
them. We teach them how to care for
their bodies and at the same time give
them the gospel. We also help them
to find employment. When you have
given man some of the necessaries Of
life, OF which he stands in need, then
he will open his heart and you car
teach him the truths of the hible
which have been help to you. This
is Christianity.
Missions are needed in every city
We muet have true Christian men and
women everywhere who can work ir
these missions, and let us remember
that the care of our bodies, keeping
them in healthful condition, Is par
of Christianity, the gospel of health
Without this we cannot do acceptable
work for the Lord

who have secured a number of sigma

he voted for President Mckinley last
fall and for this reason thinks he is
eligible to become an applicant and
take his chances with the rest. The
fact that he is cousin of the president,
he declares, will not be used in his be.
