The Children,s Crusade.

Although the children's crusade came
in 1912 A. d., between the third and
fourth crusades, it will be considered
here because the mere fact that there
was children's crusade shows how
great was the excitement, the fanatic
ism, and the craze of the entire move
ment. Stephen, twelve-year- old boy
from among the French peasantry,
preached the crusade; he declared that
Christ had commanded him to lead the
children of Jerusalem and SO eloquent
were the words of this lad, so impreg-
mated with the idea was the very air,
that children gathered at his call by
the thousands. Even bolts and bars,
We are told, could not hold them.
Pitiable beyond realization must
have been the scenes presented by this
mimic crusade, which saw $4,000 Ger
man boys and girls, under twelve years
of age, cross the Alps-a feat, which
when performed by Napoleon was
deemed wonderful-march down the
Italian coast looking for miraculous
pathway through the Mediterranean;
pitiable their disappointment when no
pathway appeared; pitiable the disap-
pointment of the $4,000 who were un-
able to obtain passage on the ships;
more pitiable the sailing away into
oblivion of the 5000 little crusaders,
for they were never heard of more. OF
the expedition, 10000 French children
had gathered at Marseilles. OF these
many sailed away, only to become VIC
tins to the human depravity Of the
men who guided those ships to Alex
andrian and other Mohammedan slave
markets, and there sold the children as
slaves.

tract is from one dated Feb. l., 1855:
Shipped, by the Grace of God, in good
order and we'll conditioned, by James
-, in and upon the good ship called
the Mary Borough, whereof its master,
under God, for this present voyage,
Captain David Morton, and now riding
at anchor at the Barr Of Senegal, and
by Gods grace bound for Georgey, in
South Carolina, to say, twenty-four
prime slaves, six prime women slaves"
&c. It ends with the pious wish that
God send the good ship to her desired
port in safety. Amen"
However impious it may appear to us
to associate the name OF God with the
iniquitous traffic, still it was looked
Upon by many as divine institution,
directly sanctioned by the Bible. The
famous slave-trading Captain, John
Newton, afterward to be the Rev. John
Newton of Olney, hymn writer and
friend of Cowper, did by no means see
it to be his duty to change his profess
sion Immediately after his conversion,
though he ultimately became an abo-
litionist; he carried on slavetrading for
years after he was a devOut Christian,
giving thanks in the Liverpool church
es for the success of his last venture,
and imploring Gods blessing on his
next.

DUTY OF THE HOUR.
WHAT FORMER AMBASSADOR
BAYARD SAYS ABOUT 1T.


Hon. Thomas f. Bayard. former am
bassador to the Court of St. James. has
issued a public letter on the Needs
and Duty of the Hour" In it he says
that the want of confidence is the un-
certain currency Of the country, the re-
latiOns Of Congress thereto. and the
threat, scarcely yelled in it's language,
and boldly avowed by many of the adj
vocates of the Teller" resolution, Of
the right Of Congress to at will substi-
tute silver for the gold standard and
measures of value for all contracts
1t is this threat which casts it's bale
full shadow over all business transac-
tons, prevents daily labor from secur-
ing its just reward. and impairs that
sense of settled security which is the
very bedrock of every honest human
effort to advance civilization-and this
depressing and distressful condition of
AFFAIRS will continue until the sober
second thought of an honest nation
instructed by intelligent reflection and
guided by an instructive sense Of self
preservation-shall lead them Gas they
Wild to reject positively and finally
the counsels Of wild and passionate ig-
norance and misinfOrmed ambition.
which If they prevailed could only end
IN anarchy and widespread misery.
In my judgment, "the need and duty
or the hour" therefore. is to cause this
simple, essential, historical truth to be
clearly comprehended by our country
men in every occupation and walk of
life-and the profound Importance to
the happiness and welfare of each in
dividual to have such a question calm
~ and clearly comprehended and pass
ed above the heats and passions of per-
sonal or party ambition and to en-
trust 1t to the conscience, courage and
seli-respect of our fellow-countrymen:
and this will be true test of the wis
dom and capacities Of popular self

COMBINES AT WAR.
Adulteration of Flour the
Bone of Contention.
CRITICISM ON YOUNG JOSEPH LETTER
Makers of Corn Flour Intend to Try and
Throttle a Bill Before Congress
Which Provides For a Tax on
Blended Breadstuffs.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Two gigantic rival
milling combines, involving all the mill
owners Of the central, western and
northwestern states, are engaged in
bitter war. The adulteration of -four is
the basis Of attack and counter move
ment. One faction includes the Pills
bury and powerful northwestern millers.
The other side embraces the big max
ers' Of corn flour, with the Decatur Ce-
real Mill company and the Shellabarger
Mill and Elevator company in the van.
The latter seek to defeat a bill intro
duced in congress, ii is claimed, in the
interest Of the northwestern mill COM
bine. The bill before congress provides
that adulterated bread. shall be wiped
out by penalty and that a tax for in
ternal revenue shall be placed on blend
ed flour made of wheat and corn.
For several days the agents of the
newly formed combine between the
corn flour millers have been gathering
signatures TO a petition on the board Of
trade praying congress to throttle the
bill which was recently introduced in
the senate. This petition to congress re-
cites that the bill was framed in the
interest of the northwestern millers and
that il would work incalculable harm to
all the farmers Of the great corn belt.
This struggle comes at a time when
the agitation against the adulteration
of flour and "black bread" is at its
height. To make matters more inter-
esting Joseph Letter is made the OBJ
ject of criticism by the representative
millers' journal, The Weekly North
western Miller, for the part he plays in
controlling the supply of wheat. But
interest now centers in the strife be-
tween the two rival milling interests.
r. L. Pratt, owner of the Decatur Ce-
real Mill company, is the leader of the
forces which propose TO fight the bill
now pending in congress. Mr.. Pratt
makes no secret of the campaign which
he and the millers who have banded
with him are making. Indeed, he does
not deny that there is a newly formed
combine to fight the northwestern
mills.
b. A. Eclxhart Of Chicago. a whole
sale flour dealer, is preparing to send a
representative to Washington to lobby
for the bill, and then it is expected the
fight will be more bitter. Mr.. Pratt says
as soon as 1t appears that the bill is
coming up either in the senate or house
for passage a large lobby Of corn flour
millers will proceed to Washington
The northwestern people meanwhile
will also have a fighting force in the
field
