The Present Age One of Lies.

Bishop Morrison spoke from the pulpit OF
the First Methodist Church in Atlanta yes
terday to the Free Masons of Atlanta In
the course of his sermon the bishop said:
1T has seemed to me of late that the
present is an age of insincerity. an age Of
falsehood and the status of society and Of
our business life will bear me out Thou
sands of men will not tell the truth unless
they know they can make something by it,
The moral decay of the present age is due
to this disregard for truth. Lies are put
up in packages, sent out In barrels and
hung up on hooks. Men are justifying
themselves with the fact that their acts are
common.
THAT embalmed beef sent to Cuba is no
worse than We get today. l believe that the
large death list in this country, which is
daily growing greater, is due directly to the
dishonest adulteration of foods which go
in the homes of our country. The whole
commercial world is honeycombed with I'M
truthfulness, and the inordinate love of
money which has taken hold of our people
is at the bottom of it.
There are men in Atlanta today who
have been running to money so long that,
while their wealth is five times as great as
formerly, their reputation and their influ-
ence for good in the community is more
than five times as small as it was before

as the west-bound passenger train, due at
columbus at 80 pm, came along. The
vehicle was knocked into splinters, and Mrs.

outright. Edward and William were so
badly injured that they died after being re-

GROWTH IN CIRCULATION,
Money Volume Increased by 100000.
goo Since July L. 1898.

There is nearly $1o0, 600, 900 more money in
circulation in this country today than there
was when the American army was besieging
Santiago and Admiral Camara was starting
on his return from Suez to Cadiz. DESPITE
this enormous increase in capital there is
not enough money in the country to supply
the demand made on account of new en-
terprfses under development. The great
banks in Wall street have increased their
loans until their surplus reserves gradually
are being depleted.
The United States, by reason of its great
excess of exports, is draining the money
centers OF Europe. 1t is known positively
that the sl2.0000oO recently shipped abroad
by the National City Bank and other insti-
tutions in defiance of the laws of foreign
exchange actually was money borrowed
from wan street by Berlin bankers TO meet
the money stringency there.

ment, and the board indorsed the action

BISHOP KEANE LEAVES ROME.
He Will Travel and Rest, and Reach
Here in October.

The Rome correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that Archbishop Keane left that
city June %, on his homeward way. and
that few days before his departure he
received a most friendly letter from Car
dinal Rampolla, pontifcal secretary of
state, who wrote in the name of and by
the direction of the pope, in which many
kindly things are expressed. Archbishop
Keane goes on to Milan, and after passing
a short time there will proceed to Switzer-
land. where. amid the wild beauty of that
lovely land, he may find beneficial rest.
His journeying will be slow. He will
visit some out-of-the-way places but no
less interesting on that account; and when
the summer heat in the United States is
over he will set sail from Havre to New
York, most probably in September II is
in October that his work will begin
He has left a memory of himself in
Rome that will endure, especially Iva the
minds and hearts of those who have been
benefited by his sermons, well by his
example of silence, self-sacrifice and works
of charity"
Archbishop Keane comes to this country
to raise additional funds for the Catholic
University, and it is expected that his task
will occupy him about two years.

Chances for Nom alton in First Kan

The recent announcement of ex-senator
John j. Ingalls, that he will re-enter Kansas
politics has caused something of a furore
among ring politicians of that state.
The latter class has always feared ingalls,.
because of his independence and took the
first opportunity that offered of shelving
him.
The ex-senator's ability as an orator,
which he many times employed to fay his
opponents, has resulted In making him
many enemies among the republicans now
IN charge of the machine. On this account
Mr.. ingalls, will encounter a great deal of
opposition in re-entering the field of active
politics.
He also has a great many friends but
they are for the most part among the class
Known as the outs" and cannot do a great

subject of inquiry and determination out

Justice Cox's Decision


Justice Cox's Decision.
Further. in the recent case of Woods agt.
Postmaster General. which arose In the su-
preme Court of the District Of Columbia,
! Judge Cox In delivering his opinion said re-
| ferring to the civil service rules:
There can be no doubt as to the power
of Congress or any other legislative body
TO delegate to subordinate authorities the
| power to make rules and regulations within
certain limits which. when made. will have
the force of law"
In view of these decisions of the courts
ii is not reasonable to infer that the con-
trolier intends 10 hold that those provisions
of the civil service rules carrying out the
requirements and provisions OF law quoted
have not the full force and effect of law.
Thus, from another point of view also
We must arrive at the same conclusion as
INDICATED N the early part of this discus
sion, namely % that the controller does not
intend to hold that so long as a position
once in the classified service is not executed
from the requirements incident thereto an
appointment can be made to such position
without compliance with the provisions of
the civil service law and rules requiring
such appointment to be made through ex-
animation and certiicstion by the commits
slon' and 90 that consequently the only
question left at issue Is how IL at all a
position once in the classified service can
De legally excepted or withdrawn from the
requirements of law incident to its CLASH
fication.
And 1t has already been pointed out in
the iirst part of this communication ID that
the law prescribes a certain definite man
ner IN which only the position can be thus
Withdrawn or excepted. % that in the case
before the controller the position was not
Withdrawn or excepted in the manner pre-
scribed; and 90 consequently the conclu-
Sion can not he escaDed that the appoint-
ment to the position in a manner contrary
to that prescribed was Illegal and void and
hence the person appointed was not entitled
TO any compensation or emolument accru-
ing to the Office.
In view of the Importance of the case. the
commission respectfully requests that, un-
der authority of the act of July 81, 1894.
