Ii. NJ. FIELD ON INGERsOLL.

Now that Col. Ingersoll Is dead, the
question arises. what, precisely was the
influence which he exerted upon the
thought and feelings of his contempor.
aries, and what is the likelihood that the
effect of his teachings. in his writings
and lectures, will prove lasting one.
That Is the subject to which Rev. DIR. ii.
NJ. Field addresses himself in his article
on "Ingersoll. 5 Influence, 2" in the Septem-
Der number OF the North American Re-
view. DR.. Field Is singula1ly well quail
lied to deal with this topic, as he was not
only an Intimate personal friend OF the
great agnostic. but was the champion of
the Christian faith in the most famous
religious controversy in which Colonel
Ingersoll engaged. Writing of Col. In
gersolls personal qualities, DIR. Field
says:.-
1.-THE more / became acquainted with
Ingersoll. the more 1 was interested in
his personality. He was not as other men
are. The typical American is bundle
of nerves, which shows itself In his quick
step, In the flash OF his eye, and the ges-
ture of his hand.
"When Thackeray was In New York.
he would sometimes take his stand &C
the corner OF q street to watch the pass
Ing crowd as a study In national charao-
ter. Had he seen man OF stalwart frame
walk slowly by he would have said there
goes an : Englishman. In all the years
that have known Ingersoll, never saw
him in a hurry. The crowd might rush
by, but he never quiokened his pace, but
walked slowly as If In deep thought.
when l met him In Broadway ne W as
always ready to stop under an awning,
or by friendly door, and discuss the
questions of this day. If all the wisdom
that was exchanged between us had been
preserved. possibly some might have been
wiser but alas. 1t has been blown
away hkez the LauJumn leaves The
two gods that Americans worship are
time and money. Ingersoll cared for
neither. Money had 40 attractions for
him except for the use be could make of
It,. | amktold sty one who knew Of his
auairs perhaps even better than Ingersoll
himself, that his income from his practice
at the bar and bis lectures was often not
less than S4t0 900 year, yet it was soon
scattered. He could NOT deny himself
the pleasure Of giving 10 away. The tales
OF his generosity had gone far and wide
ana every morning there was pile of
letters on his desk from poor clerks who
were Starving in garrets, sand young
women who could not find any means of
support.
10 such appeals he responded SO houn-
tifully that they came faster and faster.
His friends warned him against the i'm.
positions that were practised upon him,
and told him that he ought to have a
bureau of inquiry but he answered that

DIR. Gordcn, a Christian Science pro-
fessor who is established in Auburn, has
been explaining his science to reporter
of the Lewiston Sun. In reply TO the
question "What is your theory of heal
ing" he said:
christian Science teaches that mans
normal condition is one of health, that
sickness is abnormal. that it is the effect
of derangsd mental condition, thoughts
made manifest on the body. Its healing
is done by imparting demonstrable un-
derstandin9 of God. being the only
Principle of all that really exists, and Of
mans relation to Him, which tends to
destroy the fear of disease, and thus is a
preventive of, as well as heals sickness.
And in reply to the question, "How
about broken bones." he said:
At this stage In the understanding Of
Christian Science, surgery seems more
difficult to demonstrate than other
branches although there are many we'll
authenticated eass of broken bones and
dislocated joints being healed by mental
surgery alone, but usually in cases ef
broken bones a surgeon Ia called to set
the bones while Christian Science pre-
vents Inflammation and suffering, and
such cases are usually healed very
quietly.
So surgeons are still of some use in the
world even in the opinion of the Chris
tian Scientists.

GOV. BUSHNELL ON OHIO POLL
TICS.
Boston Transcript


Governor Bushnell of Ohio. accompan.
led by General II. A. Axline, the head
OF militia In that state, arrived In Boston
this morning at about half-past eleven,
their train almost an hour late. Gov
ernor Bushnell viii taken part tomorrow
in the presentation OF silver service to
the gunboat Marietta. now lying in dry
dock at the Charlestown Navy Yard. The
governor was met at the South Station
by A. Dewey Foilstt. chairman of the
committee having the presentation in
charge, and drove Immediately to the Par
ker House.
Governor Bushnell had heard since he
started for Boston that John r. Mclean
had the Democratic nomination for gov.
ernor. but as to the coming campaign he
would say little. In his opinion the
Dem ocrats and Republicans are equally
" ell organized in Ohio; there ie little to
choose between them as far as that is con-
cerned. he thinks that the German vote
Is probably little to the advantage OF
the Republicans.
Ion the whole" said Governor Bush
nell. 81 think that Nash will win the
Ohio election. Mclean Is q personal
friend OF mine, and we all wish MIN luck
every kind Of luck except election. A
short time ngo, however, he told me con-
tldently that he expected the nomination
and kthe election. He already has the
nominate IN; but election is not so sure. !"
Tbs governor spoke somewhat scornful-
ly of what ne termed "Sam Jones's Coxey
campaign" az do not think" said he,
that Jones has very large following.
he can run his little automobile oam-
paign, IL he wants too. but to the people
1t savors too much of the vender of
patent medicines. After all, the most
voters will In the end pin themselves to
some party"
When asked about national politics,
Governor Bushnell said that on the whole
there Is little oppo sition to Mckinley
and the Administration in Ohio. 81 be
lieve," he said, THAT Mckinley will get
the nomination for n second time aud be
elected" According to the governors
statements, however, anti-imperialism
seems to be gaining some ground in the
West. In talking with several stanch
Republicans lately he found that they
would vote with their party next year
under protest. because of their opposition
TO an imperial policy.
Both Governor Bushnell and General
Axline though they realize the serious
ness Of the strike In Cleveland, say that
the need for troops there is gone by. The
police can better handle affairs there
now.

FARMERS MOVEMENT AND THE
GRANGE.
To the Editor of the Press.

AZ Ne GUttOT " tHe 1-feSSs
National Master Jones has issued his
edict to the grangers of Maine warning
them to keep out Of the so-called Farm
ers' Movement.
What Is this Farmers Movements 1t
Is fer just taxation. the taxation Of
franchise, no more borro wing to run the
State government, judicious economy TO
lower the State tax, the abolition of free
passes and for no appropriation to run for
more than two years. These are the issues
our National Master says he will not toll
crate in the Grange.
Must l, being granger, oppose these
issues because he says soS Not much i
will advocate these issues in the grange
and ont of 1t, regardless of what any man
may do or say, even If he be the Presi-
dent of the United States.
Perhaps our Worthy Master has been in
consultation with prominent and in
huential granger, the would-be Speaker
Of the, next HOUSE. Of Representatives, for
their ideas seem to coincide exactly. 1t
may be that he has been reading the

Why John r. Mclean was so anxious
for the Democratic nomination tor gov
ernor of Ohio is not clear. He is alto
gether too prominent and powerful al
ready to get anything in that direction
out of mere nomination. If he could
carry the state 1t might give him pres.
tige that would make him dangerous
competitor of Bryan for the Presidential
nomination. But the prospect of doing
that would seem to be too small to at
tract a man of McLean,'s shrewdness.
Yet 1t is clear that he wanted the nomi-
nation so much as to spend good deal of
money to get 1t.
