he began to train, although his physi
Cal make up has altered very much for
the better. Fitzsimmons will not be
more than ten or twelve pounds under

Jr wAg stated in the GAZETTE's
Washington correspondence OF yester-
davis date, that no matter how much
the republican members of the U. 5.
House OF Representatives may have
differed in respect Of any of the provi.
sons of the proposed new tariff bill,
now that that bill has been prepared by
the republican members Of their ways
and means committee, every one OF
them will vote for it, But even worse
than this, is the fact that by means OF
their majority and their Speaker they
will force it through the House in short
order, allowing the democratic mlnorl-
ty little or no time for exposing
its iniquties, and that, too, though
the democratic members OF tho ways
and means committee, which has pre-
pared it, have not az yet even been al
lowed to look at it. And thus is afford
ed another glazing instance of the fact
that, under republican rule, the most
important interests Of ell the people OF
all country are in the hands of the re-
publican majority of the memberd OF
one of the House committees.

REV. DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT, as man,
has the right TO believe in the Bible or
not, Just az he may choose, and to ex-
press his opinions on that question
where and wherever he may choose to
do so; but as preacher of the Chris
tan religion, which il founded upon
the infallibility Of the Bible, he has no
right TO use tho influence Of his calling
to eneender doubts of That infallihilily
in the minds of the young members OF
his congregation, for doubt soon dar-
kens into deep distrust If he cannot
trust the foundation stone Of the Chris
tan religion, he should reject it, for hia
own good az well az for that of the
cause in which he is engaged, and by
which he makes an easy and luxurious
living. By preaching the Christian re-
ligion, and at the same time sowing the
seed of disbelief in the book on which
that religion rests, he does more harm
TO il than does Mr.. Robert Ingersoll,
who scouts and flouts the idea OF the
divine inspiration of the Bible.
