DIR. TALMAGE ON HEREDTrY
The Blood of David Better Than
GOliath's BrawD

A large ana appreciatlye congregation
attended service at the First PreSb yterian
Church, yesterday morning, TO hear DIR.
Talmage'S sermon on ''Heredity."
Never was there 4 more unequal fight
than that between David and Goliath" he
said .'David, five feet high; Goliath, ten:
David, a shepherd boy, brought up amid
rural scenes Goliath, warrior by pro-
fession, armed with an iron spear: David
armed with a sling and smooth stones
from the brook.
"A Jewish rabbi says that the probability
is sthat Goliath felt such contempt for David
that in a paroxysm of laughter his helmet
fell oft; that David saw the uncovered
forehead and swinging his sling around his
head two or three times aimed at the un-
covered forehead.
THE battle over, behold tableau.
King Saul sitting little David standing,
his fingers clutching the hair of the deca pi
tated Goliath. The king wonders what
parentage was honored by such heroisn.
and in my text he asks David his pedigree.
Whose son art thou, young man.

The WIS of a Reformer

Americans who have learned to admire
tie aged Chinese statesman, Ii Hung Chang,
for his great abilities, and for his per-
Eistent efforts to introduce modern inn
provements and methods in his country,
will be sorry to hear that, at latest re-
ports from the capital Of the FIowery
Kingdom, he was again out Of favor at
court
When Earl Ii started from China TO at
tend the coronation Of the car and make
a tour Of the world. more than one dipIo-
matte authority predicted that his arch
enemy, Weng Tung Ho, would seize the
opportunity of his absence to destroy his
influence with the government 1t is
stated and believed that ii was Weng who
induced the emperor to send the aged
Viceroy on this mission, With the idea
that the fatigue Of travel, the excitement
of efforts in behalf Of his ravoritc reform
projects, and the consciousness that his
bitter enemies were having an uninter-
rupted wlack at him at home, would COM
biue to kill the old man, and that he
never would return alive. Ii rather
thought SO, too, for he carried his coffin
along with him.
During his absence circumstances favored
the designs Of his enemies. His ahlest
and most powerful friend and hacker. the
empress dowager, quarreled with the en-
perOr's mother This quarrel brought ON
a fit OF rage fr ON which the latter died,
and the former consequently has lost her
footing at court On LIS return 10

Ii Yamen were on hand to meet him.
His advent was without official recognition,
and evidently this was a studied insult

Portable diplomatic stu alton doubtless
would ensue.
The party in the Transvaal OF which
Dir. Leyds is the leader, and which is
Angiophobist in sentiment, appears likely
to come into power. That might result in
war, since it certainly would be followed
by a declaration of the absolute indepen-
dence of the Beers, and denunciatioD Of
the British claim to the right OF protec-
torate. There is a strong and bitter war
feeling, which is not modified by the fact
that, by way Of Delagoa Bay, Germany is
said to be pouring arms and ammunition
into Pretoria That city is filled with
enthusiastic young Germans, who give every
indication of having recently served In the
army, and who are represented as being
eager for a fray with the British.

A Suggestion. .

We hope that Mr.. Mckinley and his now
celebrated Hanna administ ration are not
getting into trouble too fast The Re
publican party is split wide open in
Ohio, also in Illinois, and elsewhere-just
because Mr.. Hanna is determined to be
The Whole Thing, and because Mr. KohlSaat
and Cousin William Mckinley Osborne
choose TO be, and are chosen to be, the
guides, counsellors, and friends of the
present Ohio combination, which is pro-
posing 10 run the party to which it is
attached. The following thought may not
have occurred to Mr.. Mckinley, but it is
worth printing, and We hope that he and
his friends will some time consider it a
good piece of advice.
IL is well known that Mr.. Platt, Of New
York, was not favorable to the nomination
OF Mr Mckinley at st Louis; wouldn't
have 1t; fought him hard; lost Since his
elevation 10 the Presidency Mr Mckinley
has not sent for Mr. Platt TO procure his
advice. any more than he has sent for
Mr.. Tom Reed to obtain his MI Platt

is a Lexow committee Investigation liz
progress in New York. If the incoming
Hanna administration desires to be com
Portable shouldn't it arrange with Mr
platt to have this investigation stopped?
Mr. Platt would doubtless like TO do this
If he were only asked, and certainly he
could &c it,
1t would toe an oblging thing and would
save much trepidation on the part of Mr..
searles, and possibly on the part of Mr..
Haremeyer also. Mr.. searles would not

Canton. Mr Mckinley would not then be
annoyed by any Of these Scandalous visits
from sugar trust nagnates. If the investi-
cation proceeds certain disagreeable dis
closures about the exact composition Of
MI Hanna s campaign fund may he brought

Hanna.
Perhaps he had better see Mr. Platt

Black on Civil Service.

If Gov. Black, of New York, should be-
Come tired OF his present employment Major
Mckinley might possibly do worse than to
offer him one OF the Civil Service Commis-
sionerships. His views on the service andits
underlying principles are stateSmanlike, and
doubtless also agreeable to his political
creator. They likewise are unique and
pleasantly refreshing. Among the chief inn
provements and reforms which Mr.. Black
hopes to accomplish during his present term
OF office, he is particularly desirous TO Sc.
cure 1.-The passage of a law remodelling the
merit system under which the civil service
appointments are made so as to make COM
petitive examinations more practical, both
from business and party sense of view"
especially commend Gov. Black S ideas
to the President and TO Commissioner Proc
ter. An examination which should be prac-
tcal, not only from a business, but from
"a party sense of view," without any
sort of doubt would dissipate the chief OBJ
jections to the principle, the law and the
service now entertained by many able
and practical politicians on Capitol Hill
and elsewhere.

THE TURKISH CONSUL HELD.
Futile Efforts to Secure the Releas st

that he was an embeZzler OF 5000 from
Peter Charles Derieux, was arragned in
the Center street court today.
When Iasigi was arraigned Lawyer Rich
ards, of the firm OF Coudert Bros, moved
Magistrate Cornell that Iasgi be discharged
from custody on the ground that the COM
plainant was not in court to prosecute
the charge. Magistrate Cornell promptly
denied the motion. Lawyer Richards then
made another motion for the discharge of
his client on the ground that he, being a
foreign consul, was exempt from arrest.
Il have nothing to do with that said

situation in which Ii Hung Chang finds
himself. He may be able to destroy his
enemies and to successfully carry out his
proposed railway, telegraph and other
measures Of Improvement; but IL is more
than likely that, to render it possible, the
power OF some strong civilized govern
