X-REv. BABB.
washington Gazette.)


The appointment of ex- Rev. Babb as
the chaplain of the penitentiary is the
capstone Of eternal infamy. The idea Of
placing this man, who has been expelled
from the Baptist church for the grossest
immortality, to teach men like himself
the better life is a disgrace to the Chris
tion religion and to every follower of the
Master in the State.
What influence can such a man have
over the conyicts? They know his record,
it has been so open that no doubt it has
entered the prison walls, and can have
none but the most baneful effects upon
every inmate OF the penitentiary.
IL there is a place in the State that
should be filled by minister of unap-
proachable character it is the chaplain OF
the penitentiary. A minister of this kind
is the only kind that can hope to infiu-
ence the men STEPPED in crime to seek in
formation and new life. The convicts
will have no faith in such man as Babb
who has brought reproach on his church
and stands disgraced before the world
But his appointment is in accordance with
the present eternal fitness of things. He
is one of thief riends of the pie counter
brigade, and though he has been expelled
from his church for the gr0ssest immorali-
ty, yet it does not lower him in the estima-
ton of men who, like himself, have not
heatated to practice any infamy to secure
the spoils of office.

tion to be held few days later, each
precinct should also perfect q permanent
organization. At the Congressional CON
ventions one representative should be
chosen as a member OF the Peoples Con-
gress. He should be selected not for hls
oratorical ability, but for his capacity
TO think. Select men who are willing to
abide by the will of the majority and
having selected them, pledge yourselves
to abide by the result of the combined
wisdom This Congress of 357 men
with delegates from the territories should
meet at some central point and organ
ize. It's meetings should be public, its
committee meetings should be open to
the press The people Congress should
formulate rule of procedure and after
a general discussion, map out plan
of work. This work should be done by
committees The various questions and
problems now before the people should
be submitted to carefully selected COM
mittees and pending their Investigations
and reports. the convention should ad-
iourn subject to the call of the president
These committees should hear testimony,
conduct systematic Investigations and
carefully draft reports TO the eonven-
tion for rejection, amendment or approx
al, and finally formulated as the express
sion of the convention.
