SENSATIONAL PREACHING.

Bishop William Andrew Leonard, of
the Episcopal diocese Of Ohio, denounc-
ed sensational preaching severely In
his annual charge to the clergy. The
Chicago Record Herald has been print
ing a symposium from the people on
that subject, and it showed that men
and women were being driven away
from the churches by sensationalism.
In his charge to the clergy Bishop
Leonard said:
"While I write these words I am
much influenced by vigorous corre-
spondence symposium in one of the
great news journals of Chicago on this
very subject, and it justifies my atti-
tude and my argument. The world of
busy toilers, the tired-out men and
women of six days labor in the marts
of merchandise, want, on the Lords
day, some instruction, guidance and in
spiration on the subject of sin-fight-
ing sin-killing.
II am constrained to think that the
plain men and women Of today are
like their progenitors and ancestors;
that they want Christ for the feeding
of their souls. Our people tell me that
they do not desire politics. civic ques-
tions. social themes, ethical theories
doled out to them on Sundays by gen.
tlemen who know but little Of what
they are talking.
1.-The vulgarties that are advertised
along our city streets at the church
doors with the paint brush and the
sheets of brown wrapping paper may
seem to catch the average passer-by,
the empty-headed, the silly citizen, but
thew are growing to be more repug-
nant to the serious minded, thoughtful
and religiously inclined church men,
bers.
Earnest men inform me that they
want religion and not rubbish on Sun
days. They want the doctrine of the
soul the helpful instruction Of the per-
feet man, Jesus Christ. for their spirit
ual uplifting.
How much is the church, through,
her authorized teachers. teaching today
about sin and of Him who alone can
forgive sin. 1t is not fashionable in
some places to preach about sin. 1t
has been relegated to the attic as not
uD-to-date, because there are grave
questions as to its origin and whether
it is of eternal duration. What care
YOU and / for such gatherings when we
stand knee-deep in the very mire of
sin?
What we need today is Christ and
the church of life. We want fearless
preachers, crusaders who are not
standing in awe of men, but only in
the fear of God, preachers who care
only for the truth and who dare to pre-
sent it,"

FACTS ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

Go down to the barge office in New
York any day following the arrival Of
a big transatlantic steamer, and view
the huddling, helpless. abject mob of
humanity that swarms about In pitia-
BILE perplexity, but shrewd to seize up
on any advantage Of circumstance or
condition. Among them you will see
little wizzened faces, tanned by italian
suns and scared by toll and poverty
and oppression. Let us consider, not
of Italy. but the riff-raff, the lower
classes that furnish the biggest part of
the immigration Of today. Even be-
fore the unrest of exodus seizes upon
by hazard; for the lottery is the bus
mess and the entertainment of the
Italian peasant, and there Is no place
so remote but that it contains its Of
fetal "wheel." So general is the prac-
tice that one wonders where the player
gets the money to venture, seeing how
miserably he lives; yet buy he does,
day after day: all the pittances he
earns or perhaps obtains from the "fos-

These, when children. before they are

1t was probably a part Of the region
traversed by Coronado, Charles VS.
conquistadore, back in 1542. Squatters
by dozens located in parts Of Oklahoma
not occupied by Indians soon after the
close Of the civil war, but were expelled
by the government.
Later on the movement to that re-
gion took on larger proportions, chiefly
under the leadership Of David l..
Payne. who organized in Kansas what
was called the Oklahoma Town Com
pany and the Southwest Colony. Seve-
raj times, beginning in 1880, Payne and
his boomers were driven out Of Okla
homa by troops, and once or twice he
and some Of his companions were i'm
prisoned for a short time. In the be-
ginning Payne founded a town named
Ewing, and subsequently, this time in
1884, and with 600 settlers, he estab-
lished the town Of Rock Falls. This
settlement, too, was broken up by order
Of the president, but later in the same
year a band of armed men, under the
lead of w. L. Couch, invaded the re-
gion, camped at Saltwater, on the Cim-
maron river, and declared they would
hold their ground in defiance Of the
troops. They surrendered after few
weeks, however, early in 1885, and were
marched across the line into Kansas
under arrest.
AS the government would neither be
able nor willing to keep out settlers
much longer, adjustments were made
with the Indians and legislation was
enacted by congress which permitted
the opening Of the territory to settle
ment.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ROMANCE OF OKLAHOMA.

The story of Oklahoma is one of the
romances of American history. The
beautiful Land" which is the meaning
of this name in one Of the Indian Ian
guages, became an object of great in
terest to many would-be settlers years
before it got place on the map of the
United States. except as a part of the
Indian Territory.
Captain Randolph B. Marcy ana
young Lieutenant George B. Mcclellan
were on an exploring expedition through
that country in 1852. and their report,
which was soon afterwards published
by the government in fine style, with a
great number of beautiful illustrations
gave the country it's first view of the
region afterwards known as Oklahoma.

- Pittsburg, Pa, Post: The cotton
manufacturers of Massachusetts, pro-
pose to get even over some of the eff
fectiveness Of competition in the Caro-
lima and Georgia mills by organizing
trades unions at the South, or at least
encouraging or aiding their organiza-
ton. We suppose this is on the prin-
ciple that everything is fair in busi-
ness. The Fall River unions have re-
Gently had agents at work in South
Carolina and Georgia, who, on their re-
turn home, reported that what is need
ed Is to make Southern workmen dis
contented. All that Is needed, they
said, to create a strong trade union
sentiment in Southern mill towns, Is
that the operatives there should learn
as much as the delegates had about the
conditions in Northern cotton mill
towns, brought about largely, they be-
lieved, through the strength Of labor
organizations and the consequent ef-
feet politically. They predict that
great textile union movement will
sweep over the south within the next
two years, thus equalizing conditions
as between mills in Massachusetts, and
those in the Carolinas, and relieving
both millowners and millworkers in the
North from the unequal competition or
which they now complain.

GADsDEN OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
How He Presented Himself to the
Mexican President.

How He Presented Himself to the
Mexican President.
w. f. Curtis writes in the Chicago
Record Herald as follows:
When that eminent diplomatist, Jas.
Gadsden, of Charleston, S. c.. went to
Mexico to negotiate the treaty Of Qua
daloupe Hidalgo, by which the United
States acquired part Of the territory Of
Arizona and New Mexico, he was re-
ceived by General Santa Anna with the
utmost cordiality, although the latter
was known to be venomous in his hos
tility to the United States. Santa Anna
could neither speak nor understand
English, and to Mr.. Gadsden the Spar
ish tongue was equally unknown, but
he was a man Of very firm disposition
and determination. So, after listening
for a while to the flowery effusion Of
the aged and eminent Mexican, Mr..
Gadsden turned to the interpreter and
said:
"Tell that blankety blank old scoun-
drel that my name Is Jim Gadsden, of
South Carolina. and that I have not
come down here to parley-voo or pass
compliments. Frank Pierce, Of the
state of New Hampshire, is president of
the United States. and he sent me here
to tell that blankety blank old villain
that If he don't keep his blankety
blanked old greasers on his own side of
the Rio Grande. he'll git the biggest
slice Of hell he ever tasted red hot and
right under his shirt tail"
Mr.. Gadsden had fortunately taken
with him a competent interpreter, who
bowed politely upon hearing the mes
sage and then, turning to General San
ia Anna with another courteous ac-
acknowledgement. said:
''rne ambassador from the United
States instructs me to assure your ex-
cellency Of the profound respect and
affection in which you and your gov
ernment are held by the president and
the people Of the United States, and
also Of his own high regard for yourself
personally. His excellency, the Ameri-
can amba ssador, also instructs me to
express his deep regret and sorrow
that anything should have happened
to disturb the serenity Of your rela-
tions."
General Santa Anna arose from his
seat and made a profound bow. Mr..
Gadsden arose and returned the saluta-
ton. Thus a common understanding
of the situation was established be-
tween them and the negotiations pro-
ceeded.

you that l sought not harm to you
and, furthermore, that you were no
match for me at this kind of work"
"Out, fool!" yelled Damonoff, now
fairly frothing with rage. eff you
dare not cross swords again, say so,
but do not crawl off like a cowardw
zone word more,p uttered Ruric,
paling for an instant beneath the
unmerciful insult of the senseless
tongue that assailed him, and he
stood proudly erect while he spoke,
sbefore these men here assembled
and before God I swear that thus
far I have spared you, but my own
life may be the forfeit if trihe with
YOU more. So now beware. You
have sufficient warning"
Perhaps the count really over
looked the facts of which Ruric had
spoken. In his ungovernable rage
he may have fancied that twas only
accident that had worked against
him. However, he started forward
once more and made furious lunge
at his antagonist.
"Now," he gasped, f'play your
best, for my swords my own"
But Ruric spoke not. He saw that
the count was stronger than before
for his rage seemed to give him
maniac's power-and that he was
earnest only for life or death. He
struck quickly and furiously, and
his movements were strange and un-
precedented. He threw up all rules
of exercise and cut and thrust only
in wild madness. Twice Ruric came
nigh being run through. He lost all
run of his opponents play and
quickly saw that he must put stop
to the conflict or run the risk of
leaving a childless mother in his
home to see that days sun sink.
"Will you give o'er?" he asked as
he struck the counts point down.
"Never! Submit to such as you?
Bahw
A few moments more the conflict
lasted. One more opportunity he
had at Damonoff's heart, and he
spared him. All present saw it save
the madman.
"Foolw uttered the monk, who
trcmbled from head To foot with ex-
citement, his huge belly shaking like
a bag of jelly. "Will you throw
away your own life, Ruric Nevel?
Shall tell your mother you left her
of your own will?"
This mention of his mother called
the last lingering doubt from Ru-
ric's mind. Again he struck the op-
posing point down, and then ne
pressed his own point upon the
counts bosom. He avoided the
heart-he tried to avoid the vitals-
but he threw his arm forward, and
his glittering blade passed through
the fools body. With an express
sion of pain upon his features he
started back and rested his reeking
point upon the trodden snow. The
count came furiously on again, but
he struck wildly and at random, Ru-
ric merely warding off his blows, un-
til finally his arm sank. On the next
moment his sword fell from his
nerveless grasp, and he sank, faint
ING, back into the arms of his at
tendants.

London Is Appalled,.

A London telegram says that the mercantile community there has been appalled, by the magnitude of the American steel combination. The enor- nous mass of capital under single control has created the impression in the iron trade and general business circles that American competition is far more serious than German rivalry. The phrase, made in Germany" is no longer regarded as a menace to pros perity to British industries.
 The truth is perceived that immense masses of capital cannot be concen- trated in Germany, as in the United States, for cheapening all the pro cesses of production and distribution. The United States steel corporation is frankly described by financial jour nals like the Statist as the biggest industrial monopoly ever known, and as capable of making at lower cost as much steel as all the steel manu- lecturers of Great Britain put to- gether.
 It is easy for moralists to add that, in the strength of this monopoly lies its weakness, since there will be an inevitable conflict with organized labor, but the process of extracting sunbeams from cucumbers is never eXhilaratinp.

Pen Picture of Clark.

William A. Clark, of Montana, ia
 Uous in Butte twenty years ago as the
 man who 'lived in brick house." and
 had real champagne" in his cellar,
 wore the same characteristic "pros- pector's beard" then as now. but as
 yet had sighed for no other worlds to conquer. Mir. Clark was at that time the senior partner in Clark Brothers Butte bank, the owner of the Daily Miner and of large block of stock in the Alice mine. He went to Paris to spend the golden tide of profits which began to pour in on him from his cop per-silver mining properties about the time that the electric light and the electric telephone created all over the country an amazing demand for copper conductors. There were Brush lights in the streets of Butte, then the greatest mining camp in the world when the sidewalks they Illuminated were as yet rough boards. Mir. Clark studied French and French Art, and began cultivating himself for future among the money kings of the world. He is very much the same sort of lt-American as Mr. Andrew Car negie, but in MT. Clark the getting does not seem to have yielded to the giving fever. Mir. Clark and MT. Carnegie are of the same small com bative physique, with the light grey eyes variously described as Scotch and Irish, but clearly acquisitive and man-reading. The Scot who grew up in the east slaves his face. The Irishman who grew strong in the west lets his hair grow. The bearded man lets his money talk; the other talks for himself-Harper's Weekly.

LET US PAY OUR DEBTS FIRST

The Enterprise makes the following appeal for an appropriation for a ter ritorial exhibit at the St. Louis ex- position in 1903:
 Gan Arizona afford not to be repre- sented at the St. Louis international exhibition of 1903i This is the ques- tion that is agitating the minds of the citizens of the territory today, and more particularly the legislature. Il will be too late for the next legislature to take action and consequently the request is coming from all over the territory that the present session make provision for an exhibition. It is right that the future generations should help pay for it, so we should suggest that they authorize the issu- ance of S25,0OO.0O in 3O-year five per cent bonds.
 The act will have to be approved by congress and by beginning now there will be abundance of time to make preparations and have a credit able exhibition. Congress has ap- propriated S5,OOO,OOO, the City of St. Louis S5,O00,0OO and the citizens of St. Louis privately S5,OOO,OOO, thus furnishing capital to begin with of Sl5,OOO,0O0. Aside from this the state of Missouri has appropriated ST. OOO,OOO for the state exhibit and all the states are falling into line and making provision for a large exhibit. While this is an international exhibi- tion, remember that the west will get credit for it, and Arizona now on the eve of admission to the sisterhood of states, and it hopes by 1903, will be a state, cannot afford to be found want ing"
 The individual who is in debt up to the limit of safety for his creditors is not considered wise or prudent who will add mortgage upon mort gage upon his property for the purchase of things not absolutely needed by him. Is it the part of wis dom for territory to do business on principles which are not considered safe for the individuaIf
 While as rule the policy of mak- ing public appropriations for such ob- jects as the above, is doubtful one. in the present condition of the terri tory it would be absolutely injurious. The tax rate in many counties now runs very close to the confscation point, being nearly five per cent in Prescott. Why keep making appro- priation after appropriation plunging the territory more deeply in debt, for questionable objects or for purposes of absolutely no value at all to the territory?
 If the territory were in fair fnan- cial condition it might well afford to indulge in exposition business, but in the condition it is it should try and worry along without them.
