to do with the outer world; with the
senses through which we get our knowl-
eage OF that world. knowledge obtained
through the senses is necessary, bnt that
we should appropriate it inwardly and
build ourselves UP with it is spirjtuaI
death. Such knowledge ignors God and
the soul. The senses speak to us only
OF nature. To eat of the tree of knowl-
edge is to make natural facts our spirit
ual food, and in the day we do this we
surely die; die to the acknowledgements
that the Lord is all in all; while to eat of
the Tree of Life and of the Bread of Life
is to receive and appropriate in the spirit
the goodness of heavenly love- God put
the Tree of Life in the midst of the gar
den-too many of us today follow the
example of the Serpent and Eve, and put
in the midst, in the place of God, the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil;
or the fallacies of sense and human rea-
son. They eat of this tree; they take it
as their sole mental nourishment; they
worship their own intellect; they make
themselves as Gods, knowing good and
evil, setting themselves up as judges. In
brief, the Tree of Life is all that we de-
rive from God, and the Tree of knowl-
edge all that we derive from self. If we
feast npon the latter we die, Tor Self is
death, and God alone is life.
AS man develops outwards he learns
by contrasts of his many planes or de-
grees OF being, spiritual, intuitional, af-
fectlonal, Intellectual, physical, sensuous
and many others; so little by little new
worlds are upfolded in him, and many
sells besides the one we know. So with
the primeval church, as it grew more
and more external, but even the sensual
self was good for God made it. The dis
tinctive characteristic of man is his in
tellect, of woman is her affection or feel
lngs, so when we read that the tempta-
ton came through Eve it simply means
that when we are on the down path, our
affections lead us to love more and more
the things of sense, and to listen to their
temptings even when our reason or intel
lect for a time held back. You all know
how temptation comes; at first no de-
liberate thought or desire to do wrong;
but how slyly the wrong feeling creeps
in, like snake, serpent, the most sub
tie of all beasts, lying with its whole
length on the ground, that glides along
without being seen until its victim is in
its reach. Think of that when any feel
ing comes creeping in that seems nice,
but not just right. 1t is the serpent try
ing to make us disobey the Lord, and
telling us that we know best what is
good or bad 1t is the serpent trying to
help us put the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil in the midst of the garden
in place of the tree of life. And when
we do, and our desires eat of it, and our
intellect eats of it; but one result can
follow. We are no longer in the state of
innocence; no longer fit for the garden
of Eden, and must needs depart Our
next talk will be Expelled from Eden,
and the Cherubim with flaming Sword. y

minister to that country and may there
fore be supposed to know what he is talk
ing about, may be accepted by them as
sound, and lead them unwittingly to give
their support to some action which will
bring on war. In this direction lies
probably the chief danger of a conflict.
hence the correctness or incorrectness of
Mr.. Iaylor's views becomes matter of
great Importance to determine.
1t can be said with truth that no such
view can be deducted logically from facts
and arguments which precede it in Mr..
IayIor's article. He contends that Spain
cannot put down the rebellion with force
and that her ruling classes will not allow
concessions which the rebels will be likely
to accept. But it is only by arms or by
Cancellation that the rebellion can be
subdued. This being so only some in
duence which will strengthen her arms
or change the attitude of her governing
classes to ward Cancellation can be
affected. But moral influence cannot
strengthen her arms. Moral influence
coming from nation which her ruling
classes respected and loved might change
their attitude toward Cancellation. But
the United States is not such a nation.
Mr.. Taylor, himself, admits that we are
SO cordially hated by Spain that it was
necessary to guard his residence to pre-
vent it's being attacked. Therefore to ex-
pect her to change her attitude at our re-
quest is to expect her to change her at
titude at the request of nation she re-
CARDS as her worst enemy. Neither an
individual not nationAis likely to be
affected by moral influence emanating
| from such source. The truth in all
probability is, that the United States can
only end the war by active Intervention.
A threat of such Intervention will not be
sufficient, because the great mass of the
Spanish people have no fear of us and
would not tolerate any yielding on the
part of their government. The issue to
be faced by Congress is whether our obli-
cations to humanity or the protection of
our interests require active intervention
to stop the Cuban war, and it ought not
to be disguised or evaded. The chief in
EQUITY of Mr.. Taylor's article consists in
the fact that it tends to do both.

TAXES OF CITIES AND TOWNS.
Statistics Being Gathered by the In
diana Bureau.

State Statistician Conner is now collect
ing and tabulating, for the first time in the
history of the State, the amount of taxes
corporated cities and towns and collected
by city and town treasurers A portion of
corporation taxes are collected by county
treasurers. The amount of taxes collected
by the county treasurers for 1895 was 49,
574, .0S, not including the delinquent taxes,
but one or two millions more are collected
locally. The State has never had a COM
plete statement of ell taxes levied in the
State. and the bureau hopes that city and
town clerks will make accurate and COM
plete reports, and so enable the bureau to
make reliable and valuable compilations. In
future an abstract of the city and town tax
duplicates will be taken annually. A COM
parison of amount and rate of taxation in
the several cities and towns will be very in
teresting to municipal taxpayers. The rate
of taxation per 500 valuation for all pur-
poses ranges from Slip to 1884 in cities and
towns, and in townships from SO cents to
1874.
The tax for county purposes only levied
by the Board of County Commissioners,
ranges from 20 1-3 cents in Lagrange coun-
ty to 80 cents in Perry county. The law
provides no limit to the rate of county tax,
except in counties having a voting popula-
ton of over 10000. Marion county is the
only county in the State thus favored with
a limit of SO cents on the 800 valuation for
county purposes. Several cities in the State
collect the city taxes in two installments
and many cities collect all the tax on the
first Monday in May. 1t is optional with
common councils.

INDIANA SUGAR BETS.
Prof. Wiley, of Department of Agri-
culture, Here Investigating.

Prof H. w. Wiley, of the Department of
Agriculture is now in Indiana for the pur-
pose of cons llting with those who are most
interested N the promotion Of the sugar
beet industry in this State. Professor Wiley
is probably the best posted man in this
country on this subject. He is now in
Evansville, where some of the enterprisng
men of wealth are considering the question
of the construction of beet sugar factory.
There have been many small plats Of
ground cultivated in beets in Indiana this
season, and beets grown here are being sent
in to Purdue University, where they are be-
ing analysed free of cost to the producer.
The result is quite surprising, many beets
sent in showing a much larger per cent. of
sugar than the average of beets produced in
France and Germany. Beets from northerl
Indiana run in many instances as high as
Is per cent. sugar. This is about one-third
more than the average of beets produced in
localities where the beet sugar industry has
beer firmly established. Professor Wiley
will be at the Denison Hotel on Thursday CT
this week and would be glad to meet any
and all who are taking an interest in beet
sugar.

AN AMERICAN BEsTED.
Dave Sullivan Defeated by Ped1ar
Palmer, of England.

LONDON, Oct 1S-Pedlar Palmer, the
bantam weight champion Of England, and
Dave Sullivan, of Boston, met this evening
at the National Sporting Club at 116 pounds
to compete for the bantam championship of
the world, a purse of $500 and a side bet
of $1,000 The contest was won by Palmer
in twenty rounds.
The men entered the ring at o'clock. The
clubroom was crowded. There was half a
pound difference in weight in favor of Sulli-
van, but the betting was 2 to 1 in favor of
the Englishman. Both appeared perfectly
trained. AS early as the third round Sulli-
van was twice cautioned for holding. In
the fifth Palmer just missed an upper cut
which might have settled matters. He had
the better of the exchanges from the be-
ginning, but Sullivan made a plucky fight
throughout. In the ninth and tenth rounds
Sullivan forced the fighting and really had
the better of his opponent until the last half
minute Of the tenth, when Palmer steadied
him with a couple of fine punches in the
race. In the following rounds Sullivan was
clever and strong, but unable to make head
way against the little Englishman's superior
skill.
In the thirteenth round Sullivan got in his
left, but was again cautioned for holding
and hitting too low. In the fourteenth
Palmer damaged his opponents face badly
and in the fifteenth Sullivan was evidently
getting weak. But he managed to land his
left and right on Palmer's ribs, and in the
succeeding rounds showed lots of pluck in
spite of his weakness. Palmer seemed con-
tent with his previous work and just MAIN
tanned, his advantage. In the eighteenth
round Sullivan tried all he knew to bring
off Knockout, but failed. In the nine
tenth the American reached the face and
head of the Englishman, but received severe
punishment in return on the nose and
mouth
In the twentieth Sullivan again forced the
fighting, but Palmer won with lot of
points. Sullivan was much upset by his
defeat that he wept, but his game efforts
have secured him many friends, and he may
be congratulated on having made Palmer
exert himself more than any other lad the
Englishman has ever met.
Preceding the main contest Jerry Driscoll,
champion of the English navy, beat Free
man Martin, of Nova Scotia. in six rounds
and John Hughes, of London, beat George
Reynolds, of America, in eight rounds.

held to that position. When he spat in my
face in Green's Hotel, Philadelphia, l told
him l would knock his ponpadour head off

and he knew would do ii. He showed the
yellow streak and gave up the fight rather
