An Awakening Sermon.

But, remark again, the sermon of
the future will be an awakening SER
mon. From altar rail to the front door
step, under that sermon an audience
will get up and start for heaven There
will be in it many a staccato passage.
It will not be lullaby, it will be bat
tie charge. Men will drop their sins,
for they will feel the hot breath of pur-
suing retribution on the back of their
necks 1t will be sermon sympathetic
with all the physical distresses as well
as the spiritual distresses of the world.
Christ not only preached, but he healed
paralysis, and he healed epilepsy, and
he healed the dumb and the blind and
the ten lepers.
That sermon of the future will be an
everyday sermon, going right down
into every man S life, and it will teach
him how to vote, how to bargain, how
to pillow, how to do any work he is called
to, how to WELD trowel and pen and
pencil and yardstick and plane, and it
will teach women how to preside over
their households and how to educate
their children and how to initiate Mir

Mr.. MONEY is ANGRY.
Demands an Explanation From Con-
sui General Lee, who Has
Snid Money Lied

Washington, Jan. 16.-'T desire to know
whether or not the denial of my statement
to Secretary Olney on your behalf was
authorized by you. 1 have always regarded
you as a gentleman, and as L am not ac-
customed to having the lie given to my
statements, 1 desire an explanation
This, If not the exact language. is at
least close to the words employed in a let
ter which Congressman Money, of Missis-
sippi. has sent to Consul General Lee The
difference between the two grows out of
the statement made by Congressman N
Money to Secretary Olney, as coming from
General Lee. which was to the effect that
since his return to Cuba General Lee was
more than ever convinced that the Span
ish would never be able to put down the
rebellion.
The publication of this important piece of
information was followed. a few days aft
er, by Il denial purporting to have come
from General Lee, that he had ever given
Congressman Money any such message for
Secretary Oiney as Mr.. Money delivered
The publication of this denial has an
gered Mr.. Money, and ne is determined TO
have an explanation. He has stated to
friends that his personal character and Of
ficial position will not permit him TO stand
branded as having uttered a falsehood in
such an important matter as that of a
message from the consul general of Cuba
to the secretary of state.

Washington, Jan. 16-The senate COM
mittee on postoffices and postroads grant
ed hearing to-day on the Loud postal
bill. Among those who were heard was
w. II. Harvey. author of Coins Financial
School" who opposed the bill. MIR. Harvey
contended that the consumer would get the
benefit of any reduction in the price of

son that there could be no monopoly in the
business which the bill would most affert
as there could be in the publication of the
metropolitan newspapers. He claimed thar
the distribution of cheap literature was in
the nature of free education of the neo
pie. He said, in reply to a question from
Senator Villas, that the Sunday newsnanen
was more trashy than most of the hooks

tabIish a censorship would prove danger

life of the republic, when Senator Chand-
Ter interrupted to say that he thought 1--WE

Mr.. Harvey thought the cheap postage
ought to cover cloth bound as well as pa

He thought Mr.. Loud had begun at the

the railroad charges for carrying the mails
He believed these were double what they

A CALAMITY FOR LEADVILLE.
Nearly Every Large Mine in the Camp
Will Soon Be Compelled to
Shut Down.

Leadville, Col, Jan. 16-The pulling out
of the big pumps in the Maid of Erin mine
to-day will cause the closing down within
a short time of nearly every large silver
lead and iron mine in Leadville. The de-
termination to pull the pumps is owing to
the failure of the owners of wet mines to
agree to continue to pay for the pumping,
which costs over 5000 week. Governor
Adams and E. V. Debs are both in the
camp and are actively working to bring
about an agreement between the strikers
and mine operators. Prominent mine own
ers agree that, If a settlement Is not
reached, Leadville will become a second
rate mining camp.
y prominent mining man said that it was
his opinion that the pumps would never be
again placed in the Maid property even IL
the strike was settled. Indeed, IL there is
any settlement made with the end in view
that the pumps would be replaced. 1t would
have to come very soon, for within week
the workings of the Maid and Henriette
VIII be so flooded that it will be impossible
to pat the pumps back or even TO get into
the stations.

FIGURING ON A MAJORITY.
for Obtaining Control of the
UppeF House.

Washington, Jan. 16.-(Special1 The Re-
publicans are more confident than ever of
having a working majority in the senate
for the passage of a tariff bill in the Fifty
fifth congress. With every prospect of
electing Republican senator in Kentucky
and the return of Senator Pritchard from
North Carolina, they will have q tie vote,
with the vice president.
The problem turns on securing one ad-
ditional vote, and this, it is believed. Is
about to be solved. The Republicans, with
the vice president, will number forty-four.
The opposition has the same number on
the floor Leading members of the party
have been taking counsel how to strength
en- themselves by the accession of the one
member to give them a majority, and have
decided on plan that meets the approval
of all.
Their attention has been called to the
senatorial situation in Delaware. wh ere
Dupont and Addichs have been engaged in
a life and death struggle for the. senatorial
election. Dupont came within an ace of
being seated. but was unable to muster
sufficient strength at a critical moment.
and the case was dropped. so far as the
senate was concerned. Now, however, Du-
pont has petitioned for rehearing, and
the Republican managers have decided to
reopen the case and to seat him.
From a high senatorial authority 1t is
learned that if the Dupont case can be
brought to vote in the senate. three DEM
licans to seat him, which Will insure the
success of the scheme. The only Repub-
lican opposed TO this arrangement is Hoar,
but no fears are entertained that the Mas
SachuSettS senator cannot be swung into

for Dupont give as their reason that it is
better to give the Republicans the means

wearing cut on the face, which he sus-
tained In his fall down the porch steps.
