BISHOP CoDMAN's DISCOURSE.
To the Editor q the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
It is not strange that the first utter
ance of our new diocesan are received
with unusual interest II IL we'll that he
plants his fest squarely on the truth of
the divine origin of Christ. But the In
tellsctual ProtestRnts are inclined to dis
sent from his ex-oathedra Judgment that
the Reforms alton was wholly, or mainly,
intellectual 1t " as indeed that but 1t
was more. There was heart and soul
and faith in 1t, tremendous faith. There
was fsrvsnt piety In 1t, and commeRding
reverenos for the word of God, which
thencefor became an open book for the
common people.
That the reverend incumbent of st.
of Justification by faith in Jesus Christ
alone will excite more intellectual ortiz
cism. There is no doubt that 'protes-
tant" has been. and is a much abused
word. No one regrets It more than the
thoughtful. evangelical Christian. The
movement that divides the Christian
centuries aud marks a new era In the
history of redemption, was more
than a protest-A thoussnd-fold more.
Protest was only Its outward sign. lie
true in Wardness is seen in mind and
heart and spiritual conviction. In IL
faith had become intelligent, and had
scared above the church, which had en-
thralled ID, and fastened ON the Great
Head; the only and all-su ffioient Saviour
sweeping aside all man-made media
tiona. In 1t was the emancipation of the
Intellect, the emancipation Of the CON-
soience. the emancipation Of the Eible.
IT was the new declaration of spiritual
freedom. These few words are simply
to complete the unfnisted Presentation
Of ths Bishop of Maine.

The statemen which Senator Hanna
branded yesterday as "malicious lie,
appeared in the W Arlington Star, and
was as follows:
"The action Of the Iowa Legislaturs
cannot Affect the situation In Congress.
AS the deal has been made 1t 10 q matter
of money for the campaign, aud the tariff
measure will be carried through" This
statement was made by Republican
msmhe OF the House, who supported
the bill In the House by his vote, "You
will be carried OUT" he added. 'Ths
carrying out Of the recommendation of
the President for free trade with Porto
Rico would have deprived the party OF
very considerable contribution the adop-
tion OF the reverse policy insures very
large contribution. Ths possible I'M
popularity Of the Porto tRioan tariff was
balanced against the certainty of money
to use In the camp aign, ana the decision
was in favor Of the campaign contribu-
ton. It was not expected that the storm
of protest would be as ST. ong as 1t is,
but Is is now too late for change"
1t was hardly necessary for anyb body to
brand this as malicious lie." In the
first place it ia vastly improbable that
there is Republican of prominence wLo
would enter into such a deal II 1t were
posaible. In the second place If any one
should engage In such disreputabls
trade he would never tell Of ID. Think
of Republican member of Congress
going about telling reporters that his
party had sold legislation for campaign
contribution. The idea Is preposterous.
Either the Washington Star has been
grossly imposed upon or it has deliberate
ly Invented this story. But Senator
Hanna's suggestion that the origin of
this story be hunted down, ought to be
followed. Such . story is libel upon the
American Congress which the author
ought to be made to suffer for.
