Lately Ordained Priest Explains Some
of His Bible Views

The New York Herald of today SAYS: The
Rev DR.. Charles A. Briggs has broken his
silence on the criticisms of his book and his
ordination as a priest in the Episcopal
Church. In letter to the Right Rev. DIR.
Thomas NJ. Clark, bishop Of Rhode Island
and presiding bishop OF the Episcopal
Church in this country, he says:
think We are about to enter a new age
OF the world, and that these things will ba
prominent in it: The imminence of God: the
nHlng reigning Christ as Priest and King.
the presence of the indwelling Spirit in the
Individual and in the organism OF the
church; the practice of holy low entire
sane tification, the communion of saints in
this world and in the other world, and the
reconciliation and reunion OF Christs
Church.
Il have been brought to see these things
and to regard them as the great banner
principles for the future. For them | stand
with all my soul, while do not neglect or
in any way discard any portion of the in
heritance of Christ's Church in doctrine or
in life.
Il am assured by my pupils that I make
the Bible to them more real, more DOVER
ful, more divine. l have never heard a sin

weekly paper called the Visitor It's edi-
tor is the Rev. Thomas L. Kelly In the
issue OF Saturday last the Briggs case Is
commented on. The writer says the Rev.
Dr De Costa possibly was hasty in contra
dieting Bishop Potters statement that
catholic scholars had Endorsed DIR. Briggs
book. The article continues:
we know OF one professor OF Scripture
whose views on the Messianic idea are
strfkingly novel, and we know of another
a member of a faculty which solemnly
thanked the holy father for his wise and
timely encyclical 'Providentissimus Deus
published in 1S93-whose private views are
at variance with his public profession of
loyalty to the doctrines of the encycIical in

about Scripture in Rome and that 'Proyi-

AS to the Great Falls water power IT

as Congress will not or would not do it, 1
am glad to learn that it is to be done by a
private company. With the large water
power that exists between this city and the
Great Falls, inclusive electricity ought to
be furnished here at the national capitaI
so cheaply that everybody could use it for
any and all purposes. 1t is to be hoped
that the company will pursue a liberal pol-

object will be to make money and 1t is to
be expected that they win charge all that
the traffic will bear" just as the rest of
us would If we had it. Still, they should
bear in mind the fact that liberal policy
secures the most custom and pays best in
the long run.
OF course, Congress can at any time pur-
chase or condemn both that and the gas
plant. but do not think there Is any prob
ability that it will do so for years. If at all

trial tendency amounts to almost q craze
for trusts. All the promoters care for is
TO get up their combinations palm them
off on an uninitiated public and then get
cut of tnar1 after making all the money
they can. The worst feature of the in,
Gustrial trust of today is that nearly
every one of them today is vastly over
capitalized, Just at present there is a
demand fer every conceiva BILE thing and
times are elastic and money Is plenty.
Everything is floating along prosperous
ly When the collapse comes. as come it
viii, 1t will sweep all these naturally
non-paylng concerns to financial ruin.
The natural conditions today are better
than ever before. With a large balance
OF trade in our favor, prosperity should
continue for a long time This prosperity
has resulted in imitation and the issuing
OF miilians of shares on wind
There Is one thing, that greatly dis
turbs me- The Republican party, whether
Justly or unJustly, is associated with
trusts In the minds of the masses AS
party we have reached crisis where we
have got to call a halt. The Republican
party has got to disconnect itself from
trusts. 1t has got to do something more
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-11

than adopt platform planks against
trusts. 1t has got to put forth its full
strength ard legislate against them The
feeling against the trust idea is intense
in the West. 1t is SO intense in the Re
publican party that the party will break
ranks unless something is done. The
undertow of sentI1ent in the Western
Republican statesk against industrial
trusts is not understood in the East. The
revolt may strike us as early as next
year. 1t seems to me after giving this
thing great deal of thought that the
Republicans in congress will have to eX-
anime the subject thoroughly, and when
ever they find a trustis depending for it's
exorbitant profits largely on protective
duties it will be the duty of Republican
congressman and seAators to remove the
duties at once. We cannot stop short Of
that. The duties must be repealed when
it is shown the trusts are benefting by
them This should be done with the duty
on steel rails and or tinep1ate. We can
make steel rails at zsfair profit cheaper
than anywhere else IN the world. and the
present price is outrageous. The Repub-
lican party may. win at the polls in 1900
because of the achievements of our army
and navy in the last two years, but leg
1sation against trusts should not be de-
layed on that account"

pare for the procession down the river.
They soon began to move into position
in Hay lake, where they took their
places in the order of their arrival at
the locks This was done by order of
Capt. A. B. Davis, of the revenue serv-
ice, who had taken command at the
request of the Lake Carriers association.
Tonight the fleet stretches for miles in
Hay lake. Captains are waiting for word
fre m Capt. Davis to start. They are pass
ing down third of a mile apart, in
order to avoid danger of collision. The
lNocession is over forty miles long. AS
most of the upbound boats have been
gotten out of the way the procession will
be practically continuous, and doubtless it
is the greatest naval display ever given
in the United States.
The present order will be maintained
until the boats are out of the narrow
places of ST. Mary's river. Then a mighty
race will begin. The prize will be first
place eA~the receiving dock. With this
great fleet to be cared for the prize
which will go to the swift one will be
worth a large sum, for, with freights at
boom price, every day lost now means
from $500 to $1,000.
WORK A SURPRISE.
Clearing the channel by blasting out
the Houghton was a surprise to the as
sembled captains. They were unanimous
ly predicting this morning that it would
take forty-eight hours more to get the
Houghton out of the way but the wreck
ers were only three and a half hours
behind their original estimate.
The down-bound fleet is carrying nearly
100000 tons of iron ore, II, 100000 feet of
lumber, and 100000 bushels of wheat
Flour and general merchandise add ma
ter.ally to these totals.
Some accidents attended the movement
of this fleet. The Northern Wave ground
ed but was easily floated. The Crete lay
on the boulders just astern of the Hough-
ton for two hours until she was pulled
afloat by q tug.
When released there was five feet of
water in the bottom on the starboard side
of the bow of the Houghton, and one foot
on the port side. 1t has not yet been as
certained how seriously the big boat was
damaged by lying across the channel, but
it is considered that her bow was not
badly cut up by plowing it's way into the
limestone ledge.

"The present situation, to the man who

no opening as a rule. He cannot begin
business. He must join the procession.
He must content himself with being q
