BELIEFS CHANGING.
Creeds and Doctrines Should Change
With Them.

During his sermon Sunday. reported
on the sixth page today, Rev. Mr..
Hutchinson said:
Mr.. Howe has some very curious
ideas. Mr.. MacLennan, editor of the
State Journal, has some ideas just as
curious. In an editorial of March II he
says: IF you are father you may
have little girl not old enough to con-
fess the faith but you do not believe be-
cause she does not, she will be cast ut
terly into fire and birthstone. Yet there
are preachers who preach this doc
trine." Now most of you attend ortho-
dox churches. I do not think that
there is an orthodox preacher in town
who breaches this doctrine. I do not
know what kind of preachers they have
in Atchison- If they have preacher who
is fool enough to say that, he should be
put in show and taken around the
country.
[This minister thus calls John Calvin,
John Knox. and scores of later day
Christians fools" If the preachers of
Topeka do not preach this terrible doc
trine now directly, they do indirectly.
Many of them will tell their congrega-
ton that the Bible is literally true.
Then the Biblical references to eternal
birthstone fires must be true
If the ministers have quit preaching
this, why don't they have their creeds
changed and why let children infer
monstrous doctrines that were some
time ago taught by men who were con-
Sidered righteous, good men.

UNPLEASANT FACTS.

Oxnard tariff.
These states have IS electoral votes.
All Of them except Indiana gave over

1896, and Indiana gave a larger Repub-

believes that. if the Oxnard bill become
law, Indiana can be forced into the Re
publican column this year. Illinois pro-
badly will be Republican in any event.

will not be safely Republican. There

San Francisco Bulletin: The United
States is on the eve of a period of infia-
ton, the end of which cannot be accur-
ately predicted. The imitation does not
affect the character of the money in cir
culation, but the amount. AS every
bank note issued is secured by United
States bonds, there can be no doubt of
their redemption. The increase in cir
culatiOn is not in response to any espec-
ial demand for business purposes. 1t is
caused by legislation which increases
the profit in national bank circulation.
Under the new law, currency is issued
to the face value of bonds deposited
instead OF to. the 80 per cent limit, as
formerly, and the tax on circulation has
been reduced by one-half. Under the
old law national banks had to pay the
premium on bonds to deposit for cur
rency; under the new law the premium
is paid by the government, the consid-
GRAFTON being that the banks take per
cent bonds in place of threes, tours and
fives, as formerly.

SHELDON AND HOWE.
Why the Enterprising Papers Are All
Full of It.

One subscriber has written the State
Journal that we are giving him too
much Sheldon, too much Howe, etc.
Well the State Journal is not cutting on
other news especially as during the last
two weeks it has given its readers four
sixteen page papers without a cent ad-
Gitiona1 charge to it's regular subscrib-
ers. This, too, at an additional expense to
the paper of over two hundred dollars.
AS long as so many readers have asked
for the Sheldon and Howe matter and
criticisms the Journal has given it to
them. The reader who is tired can skip
that part of he paper and the matter
will soon be over. The State Journal
will print more sermons delivered to-
morrow. Also tell what Sam Jones, the
