A CHRISTIAN DAILY.

REV. Charles Sheldon, author of
In His Steps, will publish the
Topeka (Kas.) Daily Capital for one
week in March, after the manner in
which ha conceives Christ would run
i it. Mr.. Sheldon maintains in his
book that such a paper would event
rually succeed, and he proposed to
demonstrate it in a week. There is
nothing in the present experiment
that will demonstrate anything.
The movement is calculated for a
single week, during which time the
best talent in the country will be
engaged on the paper. Sporting
news, prize fights, and everything
immoral from the Sheldon stand
point will be ''tabooed." The paper
xwilr have an immense business dur
ing the week, as everyone will want
ITO witness the manner in which the
scheme succeeds. A New York
firm orders 10000 copies daily,
another firm wants 5000 lines of
advertising. Encouragement for
aGhe one week scheme comes from
everywhere, and we shall expect at
-@5Sbe end of that time to hear that a
great Chris tian daily can be made a
Financial success. But Mr.. Shell
@Slon's scheme will not demonstrate
E9be fact. Everyone is curious to
<=see the paper, and in week will
@be satisfied to go back to their old
stand byes and read some of the
yellow stuff along with the other
grey matter . The publishers of
1.-The Topeka Capital will not suffer by
the experiment as their paper thus
-~attainsa worldwide notoriety, and
'sshe regular patrons will not go back
0on the paper even if the Rev. Mr..
Sheldon does trampel on their toes
"a little. The scheme is sensational
in the extreme, and will prove moth
dng, but will give Mr.. Sheldon
little more notoriety. Meanwhile the
editor of the Capitol, not to be out
sdoDe, proposes to do little worldly
land practical preaching to Mr.. Shell
'sdon's flock, while the later is devot-
ing his time to running the news

Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces, ad-
ministered rebuke to sectarisn con-
troversialists the other day that is
worth quoting. He is one of the
noblest of Indians and has never done
a dishonorable act. With handful of
braves he fought the entire United
States army all one summer and gave
General Howard chase over the
mountains that has no equal in the an
nails of warfare. The Nez Perces cam.
paign, as it is called, is reckoned by
military critics one of the most re-
markable in history; but since his sur.
render Chief Joseph has strictly kept
the letter and the spirit of the terms he
made with the government, although
he and his people have had great deal
to exasperate them. He was recently
in Washington trying to induce the
government to fulfill its pledges, and
his plea for justice is so eloquent and
earnest as to shake ones confidence in
the integrity of this great Christian
nation. Chief Joseph wants school
houses, but he does not want churches
on his reservation, and when asked to
explain why, he replied that he feared
the ministers would teach his people to
quarrel about God. 1--WE quarrel about
men sometimes" he said, "but we never
quarrel about the Great Spirit. We
worship Him, but we never quarrel
about him."

HIGH WATER AT MOBILE.
Situation There Is Becoming Moro Dies.
pernte Hourly,


pernte Hourly.
Mobile, Ala, April 23.-The flood sit
uation around Mobile shows more
desperate condition and every hour
the loss is growing greater. The Louis
vile and Nashville railroad which has
heretofore been free from any damage
and has been hauling the freight and
passengers of the Illinois Central,
Northeastern and Mobile and Ohio
railroads for the past six days, is now
a sufferer also. The bridge over West
Pascagoula river, four miles from
Scranton, was washed away by the
high water and the terrific pounding
the foundation has received from thou
sands of logs washing against it. Gen
eral Manager j. G.. Metcalf Of the
Louisville and Nashville reached Mo-
bile in a special train and left imme-
diately for the scene of the break.
The condition of the Mobile and
Ohio is worse than ever. The water
has fallen very much, but the dam
age cannot possibly be repaired before
Friday morning sufficiently to allow
trains to go through. In one place on
the Mobile and Ohio 300 or 400 feet Of
track has been washed entirely away,
and where the roadbed was there is
now gully five feet deep. The dam
age is incalculable and nearly all the
roadbed for twenty-five miles will
have to be made entirely over again.
Jackson, Miss, April 23.-John Hor-
ton, a negro, his wife and five children
were drowned In the backwaters Of
Pearl river while trying to escape from
the flood. Their cabin had been inun-
dated by the high waters and the fam
lily was endeavoring to make its es-
cape in wagon when the vehicle fell
through broken bridge.

WATERLOO. L., April 1e.-David
Alters, q well.to- do German farmer,
committed suicide two miles south of
Dysart yesterday morning by deliber-
ately throwing himself In front of pas
senger train on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern. The engineer
saw::the man walking the track toward
the train, and when he refused to pay
attention to repeated warnings an en-
Urgency stop was made, the train stop
ping within a few feet from Alters.
Ahlers then stepped off the track, but
when the train had again started he
plunged headlong In front of the en-.

He is so years old and married. Do.
nestle trouble is assigned as the cause.

1t will be 100 years the 26th day of
next month since Henry Grattan deliv.
cred his great speech in opposition to
the Union between England and Ire
land. He commenced by saying:
When the liberty and security of one
the latter may have much homer, but
the former can have no liberty. To
depend on the honor of another cOun-
try is to depend on the will; and to de-
pend on the will of another country is
the definition of slavery. "Depend on
my honor said Charles If, when he
trifled about the Petition of Right.
Twill trust the people with the Gus.
trust no people with the custody of any
liberty other than their own, whether
that people be Rome, Athens, or Brit
ain.
These words are as true today as
they were 100 years ago. The Irish
parliament disregarded Grattau's warn
ing and voted for the union and Ireland
hast suffered in bondage for 100 years.
No man is good enouhe to be a slave
owner, and no nation can rule over an
other nation and bestow happiness upon
its people. The slave colony like the
individual slave suffers from the I'M
natural relation. In Ireland, as in
India, deaths pale famine flag has often
waved side by side with England's
Union Jack. Does this coun.
try want to pattern after Great
Britain in the establishment of slave
colonies and famine lands?
