SAVED FROM TEMPTATION

After several weeks of comparative
quiet matters ecclesiastical are begin
ming to liven up again in Indiana.
The last novelty came from some
where in the vicinity Of The town of
Brazil
A clergyman. DESTROYS OF impress
ing his flock with the terrors of hades,
introduced into the church realistic
blew smoke from his nose and below
ed in truly diabolical fashion. In the
confusion which followed someone
kicked over the stove and the church
burned to the ground But the congre~
cation was much impressed The in
surance companies also exhibited deep
feeling
But the very latest thing in the line
of realism, according to the Chicago
Chronicle. is particularly admirable
because the clergyman himself was
made to point a moral and adorn a
doctrinal tale. Providence, in the
form of burglars, removed from his
reach temptations against which he
had solemnly warned his flock.
1t was at indianapolis Sunday
week. Rev F. A. Hamp, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, was impelled
to discourse powerfully upon the sin
and vanity Of wearing jewelry. He
read that part of the church discipline
which discourages the display of orna-
ments. He quoted Wesley and the
other fathers of the church and de-
nounced ostentation. and display in
such fiery terms that the women in
the congregation became uneasily con-
scious of their earrings, while the men
sneaked their watch chains into their
trousers pockets.
1t was great sermon and Mr..
Hamp, at its conclusion, glanced over
the thoughtful faces in front of him

upon good days work. in the vine
yard. Then he went home
There he found that he himself had
been mercifully guarded against any
possibility of vulgar and ungodly dis
play. Burglars had been there. They
touched not the clerical garments.
They left the pastoral umbrella in its
rack. The sacradotal~ second best silk
hat still hung on its accustomed peg.

One diamond pin.
Two gold rings.

out whether the thieves did not hear

THE CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.

The Spanish-American situa-
ton is rapidly getting to a focus.
Spain has made a demand on the
government at Washington that Con-
sui General Lee be recalled and that
relief supplies be sent TO Cuba from
these shores in merchant vessels and
not in warships.
To these demands the State Depart
ment replies to the government at
Madrid that Consul General Lees
conduct has been entirely satisfactory
to the President and that he will not
be recalled.
The State Department further tells
Spain that relief supplies sent to Cuba
will not go in merchant vessels, but
in warships.
Plainly, SPANS demands are blunt
ly, fatty and CURLY refused.
1t will be strange, indeed. if this
does not strain our Spanish relations
to the breaking point of var.
Another interesting piece CT news
is that the government is overhauling
at the League Island navy yard eight
of the old monitors built at the close
of the war and after, and fitting them
for active service. These vessels are
fitted with the old-style fifteen-inch
smooth-bore guns, but they can throw
a 500-pound she'll a long way.
The Associated Press states that the
prevalent sentiment in Havana is that
the court of inquiry Will report to this
government that the Maine was blown
up by some outside agency.
All of which is highly interesting
and extremely important news.
The crisis is rapidly approaching.

EDITOR PICKsNIFF AT TT AGAIN
Editor Pecksniff quotes the Register
as follows

EdlIOT TechoIih uuoleS Inc register
as follows:
Meanwhile why is tie administration
delaying the report of the court OF in
ally known. The naval officers and
naval experts. who have spoken an the
subject together with The American peo-
pie have no doubt from all the evidence
presented that the Maine was blown up
by design.
Then he quotes two dispatches the
substance OF which appeared in the
Register from Washington III which
Secretary Long is quoted as saving
that no word had been received from
the court Of inquiry. Then Pecksniff
turns loose his thirteen-inch long
range moral guns to this effect:
As both these dispatches embody official
statements they are probably sufficient
answers to our neighbor'S inquiry con
corning the alleged holding back of the
report of the board of inquiry. careful
reading of its own news columns might
make IL unnecessary for the Register to
base an inquiry on a falsehood that has
been repeatedly made by sensational vel
low sheets and Just as often proven to
be false
What is the report that has been
proven to be false? The Register has
not stated that the administration was
holding back the report of the in
vestigatlon, for that report is not COM
plete; but the proof is pretty plain
that the administration has been DE-
LAYING that report, or, more cor
rectly, the work of the investigation.
The object may be to gain time. in or
der TO prepare for war, but the fact
remains.
By the way. speaking Of Long and
his denials that any news was known
at Warrington, how about his state
ment that SPANS responsibility for
the Maine disaster was practically
eliminated?"
On what did Secretary Long base his
statement?
And why hasn't the good Editor
Pecksniff criticised Longs astounding
utterance? That utterance caused
stocks in Wall street TO advance $40.
0G0,Oo0 in value and Washington
spectators got large slice Of the
profit.
Why cant Editor Pecksniff be con-
sistent, or. at least, tolerably honest?
Spain has practically received a slap
in the face from Uncle Sam. But wait.
till your Uncle Sam lets go his right.

M'KINLEy AND DEMAs.

The New York Evening Post calls
ton of Mr.. McKinley's first year in
the Presidency is signalized by the
announcement that the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce has by a unani-
nous vote made an adverse report on
his nomination of Henry Demas as
naval officer at New Orleans 1t is a
curiou5 circumstance, says Editor
Godkin, that "the anniversary of in
auguration should thus coincide with
the incident which strikingly illus
trates the weakest side of the Presi
dents record" The Evening Post
gives Demass record as follows:
Demas is the most notorious reprobate
among the host Of dsreputable men
whom the Republican party in Louisiana
has developed since the war. He is a
negro who took to politics for what there
was in it" during the quarter of a cen
fury since he started. He became a mem
her of the Legislature in the reconstruc-
ton period and he was conspicuous for
his corruption from the first. He was the
paid agent Of the Louisiana State Lottery
in the Legisiat ure, and received a stipend
of 500 a month from that company for
years. going regularly each payday TO
draw his money Besides. he had two
lottery offices given him by the company
which paid him additional sums in com
missions on the sale of tickets. He was
a Republican member of the State Senate
when the governorship was in dispute be-
tween Packard, Republican,. and Mich
oils. DemocraD. after the election of
1876. and was one of the four Republic
cans who finally abandoned the Packard
Legislature and joined the Nichols body
so as to give the latter a quorum. receiv-
ing therefor $4,000.
Demas displayed the same qualities of
treachery and corruption twenty years
later. When the canvass for delegates
TO the Republican national convention in
1896 opened. he professed 10 be an ardent
supporter of Mi. Reed, took money from
the latter's friends to defray the eN-
penses Of The campaign. and wrote the
Speaker letter promising his support.
Later. he Hoped 70 Mckinley. and
openly boosted that he had thrown

with z good federal Office.

Pertinent Press Comments.
THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.

Chicago Chronicle.
1t is not defending the murderer OF
the negro postmaster at Lake City, S.
c., to say that his appointment might
have been expected to result in trou-
Bile. We may talk as much as we
please about equal suffrage and civil
rights. but the fact remains that the
people of the South resent the appoint
ment of negroes to Offices which they
would never get if the decision rested
upon popular vote. The feeling may
be called race prejudice. but it exists
and is going to continue to exist. In
the future as in the past it is going
to cause trouble unless the Republican
party abandons its policy of treating
the South as a conquered province so
far as Federal office-hoiders are con-
cerned There are enough white Re
publicans in the Southern States
though they are growing scarcer every
year-to fill the Federal positions If
negroes are appointed to pay political
debts there will be more boycotts,
whippings and assassinations. The
situation exists and it is as idle to
ignore it as to attempt to palliate it.
