ANOTHER MADMAN ATTRACTS A Fol-
LowING.-John Alexander Dowie is
the latest crank to bob up serenely on
the horizon of human credulity. He
claims to be the prophet Elijah. His
headquarters are in that Sodom OF
modern antiquity, Chicago, where s.
600 people rose to their feet, under the
frenzy created by his empassioned ut
terances. and greeted the declaration
of his sacred mission on earth with
shouts and cheers. He defes preach
ers, editors, and all other moulders OF
popular opinion; hurls anathemas at
the Pope, denounces Masonry and
other fraternal combinations, and de-
clares that he has come to proclaim
theocracy, pure and simple, the gov
eminent Of God, by God and for God"
and declares his purpose to be, to never
test till all other forms OF government
have been driven from earth. 1t is
quite evident that the madhouse marks
the proper bounds for his spiritual
kingdom.

A Golden Demonstration.

John Wanamaker lately gave kin
dergarten lesson to Mayor Ashbridge
OF Philadelphia, when he offered two
and half million dollars for fran
chise to street railway company
which bad already passed the council
and was awaiting the Mayors approval
to become effective. He stated in the
letter making the proiler, that he did
not conceive that he was offering all
the franchise was worth, for it was not
his desire to engage in the railway
business, but to present in concrete
form his estimate of the value OF a
gift that it was under contemplation
to conferupon private citizens without
any return to the people" His action
will surely call halt, and may lead
to development of the means which
have swayed the minds of the mun:ci.
pal council so far from a plain duty OF
demanding some recompense for Sc
valuable a concession. The lesson
may be needed nearer home.

popular mind the charge that there was
bargain for his place, just as General
Siczles has alleged. Some months ago he
might have been promoted now that

There has been for several months no
real reason to doubt that the powers that

sion c0mmissionerShip They probably
intended to make the change a promotion
fer Mr. Evans, and also to see to it that
his successor was nearly as conservative:
but that they proposed to quiet the un-

Grand Army complaints from so many
sources
Too many senators have come away
from the White House with this impress
