REV. NOWLIN's PLAIN TALK TO
BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.

CHICAGO, July 25.-"The manner in
which money is raised for our churches
is often a disgrace and an abomination,'
said Rev. w. d. Nowlin, of Lexington,
KY, tonight, in addressing meeting Of
the Baptist Young Peoples union at the
Second Presbyterian church. when the
church learns to adopt business methods
and ceases holding people up, we prob
ably shall find our finances in better
shape"
Thomas Urquhant, who acted as chair
man OF the meeting, said the small at

About four thousand delegates

Addresses of welcome and congratula-

sHAFEER,s srRArE GY.

When the Amalgamated strike was
talked Of, men wondered what excuse
Mr.. Shaffer could offer to the public
for inaugurating a movement which I'M
der the best of circumstances would
cause some innocent parties to suffer.
What reason could he give for so dras-
tic a measure when no complaint was
offered to the scale of wages paid, the
hours Of work demanded or the treatment
afforded to the men? This man Shaffer
was, however, equal to the emergency.
With his minds eye he peered into the
future and saw the great iron and steel
trust discriminating against the union in
favor of the non-union men, but why?
Here his vision failed him. Shaffer de-
manded that the steel trust not only al
low the mills to be unicnized but that
it take the initiative itself and unionize
all non-union mills. This the trust
quite naturally refused to do and the
strike was ordered. To every man with
ordinary sense it will appear that the ex-
cuse for a strike was manufactured for
the occasion. In the mind of the ex-
Methodist preacher, who for the time was
acting as the head of the Amalgamated,
the time had come to compel the great
trust to kneel before him and beg for
mercy. A demand was made which he
knew would not be acceded to and the
order for the strike followed.
How did shaffer expect to win? First
he expected that the steel trust could not
afford to fight a strike. The loss caused
by the depreciation of stock which Mr..
Morgan was in the very act of booming
would be so great that the corporation
would be compelled to do his bidding and
commit itself to the loving care of a.
glorified Amalgamated union with Shat
fer as its crowned king. The strategy

.FRAUDSIN LAND ENTRIES
COMMISSIONER Hermann sUsPENDS
MONTANA AND IDAHO PROOFS.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-On account os
timber land frauds discovered in Mon
tana and Idaho, Commissioner Hermann,
of the general land office has suspended
all proofs made during the present year,
under the timber and stone act, pendin1,
the conclusion of the full investigation
and inquiry begun some time ago. This
action applies to all stations where gov
eminent timber land is purchased, ana
involves thousands of cases Many of the
large companies and spectators, who, il
is alleged have had dummies" as
agents, make purchases of these lands
from the government, as in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Commissioner
Hermann said today:
lowing to the act of congress permit
ting selections of valuable lands as in
demnity for lands held by individuals and
corporations within timber reservations a
speculation in so-called forest reserve
scrip has developed. This is the means
by which the owner of such lands with
in forest reserves may relinquish them TO
the government and in lieu thereof take
valuable lands out of the Incorporated
public domain, or may convey his hold
ingS to another person, he to exercise the
right of selection. This practice has been
reduced TO a science among spectators
and companies in the requirement OF
large tracts of timber lands.
This act limits each purchaser to Ice
acres, and expressly requires applicants
to swear that the purchase is not specula-
tive. but is made in good faith For many
years, particularly the past year, this law
has been grossly violated and abused hy
persons who perjure themselves before
the local land offices. Many of the frau
dulent proofs made might have Deen de-
tected at the time had the registers NJ
the local land Office strictly applied the
rules for proof of sincerity of applicants
For such proofs. however, there has been
a growing irregularity. and it Is im-
possible for the authorities to detect
fraud"

was well conceived, but he did not rightly
judge the staying powers of the man
who organized the trust. In short. Shaffer
was too small to cope with man like
Morgan.
AS an itinerant preacher he may have
been a bowling success, but when it
comes to handling hundred thousand
men in a strike bigger man is needed.
The first calculation having failed, Mr..
Shaffer is attempting to keep up the
courage of his dupes by making demands
upon the administration to take SIDES
and help him to victory and fame. Just
what Mr. Shaffer expects Mr.. Mckinley
to do we cannot conceive. If he expects
Mckinley to recommend to congress
when it meets, that law be passed
to compel the steel trust to employ none
but union men, he will be fooled. He
mas misjudged Mckinley and the public
generally If he is to use the Amalga-
mated to elect or defeat future presi-
Dental candidates, he will have to ex-
hibt more tact and common sense than
he has shown so far in this business.
Mr.. Shaffer imagined that the time was
ripe for blow at the trust which would
at the same time bring him into notorie-
ty. He had not the patience to wait for
a cause which would add strength to his
forces and give him the backing of
public opinion, without which no strike
can win. The whole proceeding is
farce and W Il serve only to show what
brainless man can do in a position of
temporary power.

TIE scHLEY INoUTRY.

Those who believe that q conspiracy
existed among the administration coterie
to ruin Rear Admiral schey will not
refuse to join in the prevailing com
mendation of his action in asking a court
of inquiry. They viii probably not do
so, however, without some misgivings as
to the ultimate purpose of those who
very plainly inspired the recent shameful
attack upon MIN.
The intimation sent oul through the
press dispatches that Admiral Schley, in
remaining quiescent during the past three
years, was influenced by desire to es-
cape the possibility Of a court-martial,
may well be borne in mind by the friends
of Schley, as well as by the general
public. in connection with the compost
ton of the board of inquiry.
There can be little or no belief in the
good faith of the administration or in
that of the dominant clique in the navy
department toward schley. They will
ruin him if they can. They have failed
thus far, and they will accomplish their
end if it is possible through the contem-
plated inquiry.
The composition of the board of in
quiry is the thing. 1t will be manipulate
ed if possible, to Schley's disadvantage.
1t is part of the history of the country
that the administration army clique
sought the destruction of Gen. Miles. He
was thrust aside to make way for Shaft
er. He is not West Point man. He
was not as easily suppressed as he might
be; and when he took his position on the
embalmed beef operations of Egan and
the rest of them ne had the country with
him or he would have gone down when
Alger went down and out.
There is a strong parallel between the
two cases, with this qualifcation-that
the country believed and still believes
thoroughly in schley; it looked on Miles
as a pretty good politician fighting for
his official and professional existence and
meeting the enemy mostly with their own
weapons.
The public confidence in Dewey is I'M
questioned. His associates are, too, good
men, without specific prejudices against
schley SO far as known. 1t would have
been far better, however, had the man
appointed as the third member of the
commission been some civilian, like Chief
Justice Fuller, in whom the people could
have unbounded confidence.
No secret or partially secret inquiry will
meet this case The sessions of the body
must be public and the public must have
the most complete access to the testimo-
ny taken. Schley will have been placed
on trial against the best Judgment of the
country, and through the manipulations
of a virulent clique of his enemies close
to the presidential chair. No one believes
in his guilt of The charges embodied In
that scurrilous history, so-calIed, not
even the clique through whose initiative
the publication of the sIanderous state
ments was made possible
If this inquiry should end, as everybody
believes it will end, in the complete vim
dication of Admiral schley, the decent
and DISTINGUISHED sentiment of the coun-
try viii demand that adequate punish
ment be melted out to those who SET
these slanderous statements afoat.

ton of the power Of the sun. Many have
been the theories of the cause of this
rise in temperature. And yet the rise has
been scarcely ten degrees. Unions Of
dollars worth of property. actual and
prospective, and thousands of lives have
been destroyed by this slight change of
temperature. Should the heat increase
another ten degrees or the present high
temperature become permanent, whole
sections would become depopulated and
the human race would undergo strange
metamorphosis The present civilization
In the temperate zones could not be
maintained under a temperature Of
from 100 to lis degrees. If the change
should come suddenly there would be an
exodus to the colder climates; if it came
gradually, portion of the people would
adapt themselves to the changed condi-
lions.
What is the cause Of this outburst of
heat over the northern hemisphere? As
tronomers predicted unusual heat on ac-
count of the presence of sun spots. These
sun spots have been observed for more
than a century and their relation with
the terrestrial temperature has been full
ly established. These spots appear in
cycles of something more than eleven
years but vary in magnitude and num-
bers Some of the periods pass without
any serious eruption of the photosphere
of the sun.
That the sun is not constant in it's heat
is abundantly proved by the geological
history of the earth There was a time
gions as we now know it, extended far
into the polar regions. The mastodon
and other animals of habits adapted to
a temperate climate roamed the region
above the arctic circle If temperate
climate existed there we may judge of
the amount of heat in which the balance
over the face of things. The warm wave
was followed by another equally as cold
Ice gathered in all the valleys and year
by year crept toward the equator. The
earth was passing through the glacial
age. The heat pendulum has again swung
back. The glaciers have disappeared in
the temperate regions Of the earth, but
they still hold the fort in the arctic re-
gon Will the suns neat continue to
wax until the arctic regions have been
reconquered and the temperate and trop-
ic zones depopulated? 1t is possible It
will not be during this century and the
present inhabitants of the earth can go
ahead with their schemes, form their
unions, organize their trusts and do ev-
erything else to keep the wolf from the
door. We may have hot days. hot weeks
and hot months, but we will be able to
survive unless-and here comes a matter
upon which the opinion of one
is good as that of another
unless the sun undergoes some
physical change that will emit heat
sufficient to witner up the plants and
disstpate them as vapor. Should this
come we will know it. In the meantime
we will eat drink and be merry while
we discuss with interest the weather con-
dition and conjecture upon the causes Of
the heat, tie rain, the hail and the tor
nado. 1t is interesting because we know
so little about it, this weather.

NOT MORE THIN FIVE CENTS.
This is the era of reduced street car fare.
The movement which has already been
inaugurated for a general prevalence Of
a 3-cent fare will before long have be-
| come universal. The price of cents is
seriously disproportioned to the amount
Of outlay on the part of the operating
companies and represents a charge al
together unreasonable in many communi-
ties.
In certain communities and at certain
times thsre is no question as to the
justice and necessity of a Scent fare
In the early hours when the working
class is about going to work, and in
the evening hours, on returning, a scent
fare is a. necessity. AS many as twelve
years ago a resolution in favor of such
a fare in the morning and evening hours
was adopted by the city council of st.
Paul. 1t might with all justice be adopt
ed and enforced today. TIE limitation
established on this subject in the charter
ordinance Of the street car company is
that not more than cents shall be
charged within the city limits.
1t may not be feasible presently to Sc
cure Scent fare in this city at any
hour But every movement which looks
to the payment of more than cents
for any reasonable distance should be
discountenanced.
The people of South st. Paul and vicin-
ity should stand firmly on their demand
of a scent fare. The service is worth
no more. If the steam railway can af-
ford to runs it's motor trains at the pre-
vailing rates, the st. Paul City Railway
company can well afford to give a scent
fare, with transfer to and from any
point in st. Paul.
The granting of franchise in this case
ought to be attended by every possible
precaution for safeguarding the public
interests. No franchise ought under any
circumstance to be granted for a period
to exceed twenty years The experience
- ~ eul HdS petH peculiarly unfOrtun-
ate in this respect. Except the interur-
ban service, there has been no street car
line in this city which even came near
to meeting the public requirements. The
advances which have been made recently
are entirely the product of public agita-
ton and insistence.
If the mayor and council of South St.
Paul and the local authorities of the
other places along the proposed trolley
line will stand firm in their determination
to secure a scent fare with transfers.
and as frequent and speedy service as
possible and the briefest period for the
duration of the franchise, not under any
circumstance to exceed twenty years
they may believe at the outset that they
are sacrificing the immediate assurance
of a street car service; but before their
terms have been refused over a month
they viii find the artists of Mr.. Lowry
more than willing to reopen negotiations.
AS long as they have their present
dummy service they should make no con-
cession whatever that can be avoided
