Sermon by Northern Preacher.

| North! They can differ with each other in
politics and the tariff and religion and the
Philippine war, but when they get tired
Of quarreling they say, We'll, now, let's
hold up awhile and abuse those niger
killers down South" That's a harmonizer.
Another preacher, DR.. GunSaulus, deliY-
cred the Grafton at Galena in honor of
General Grants birthday and made it
appear that Grant was the author and
finisher of emancipation and negro sur
frage and it would be sacrilege to per-
nit the ballot to be taken away from
him while the shadow of that monument
is over the nation Oh my country
What an idiot! Everybody who reads
history knows that Grant was a slave
owner and lived off the hire of his ne
groes up to the very day of their free
dom-and he uniformly declared he was
not fighting for the negro, but for the
Union. Let the reverend gentleman read
in Appletons encyclopedia of American
Biography where General Grants old
father wrote to him at st. Louis in May,
1860 that if he couldn't live off the hire
of his negroes he had better move to
Galena and work in the lanyard But |

Boston preachers were belittling his eff

race problem is still their capital stock

Chicago and the great west. The G. A

Fret not myself because OF evildoers.
Fret not myself because Of him who pros
pereth in his way and bringeth wicked
devices to pass" There is good philoso-
ply and much comfort in that psalm. It's
frequent perusal will fortify us against
trouble and leave us calm and serene at
least for time. But / don't believe that
David had as many things to exasperate
him as We do. Now here is a Chicago
religious paper sent to me to disturb my
tranquility. 1t contains sermon recent
~ delivered by the editor to large con-
gregation of his followers and they said
amen and amen at every malediction that
he uttered against our people. l don't

preacher says nor a northern editor
writes, but / don't like that amen and
amen from the saints, and it grieves me
to realize that the more malignant an
editor is against us the more subscribers
his paper gets. Now this Chicago editor
says in his sermon:
If l were President, when the next
lynching takes place in the South / would
put a Gordon around that district and
hang a hundred Of them and / would
shoot a hundred. Worthy of cannibals
are the horrible things carried on in the
South. AS sure as you live these eight
million negroes will one day burst loose
If it is to be blood for blood, then woe to
you in the black belt. You Southerners
with your rebellious pride still left you
lynch the poor negro for the very crime
that your fathers committed on their
slaves. There is one voice that will speak
if all others are silent. (Applause.)

than speak. God will judge you-you

EXAMINATION.
IN THE H0F DIVORCE SUIT
Mrs. Hof's Lawyer Believes the Jus
tice Has Money Belonging to

Filed Today.

In the case in which Katherine Hof

ance, naming Her1nina Brandt as a CO.
respondent in the matter, an order has
been issued by Judge Clancy command
Ing Justice of the Peace Arnold to ap-
pear before him and testify as to wheth-
er he has or has not any money in his
possession belonging to Hot.
The order was made upon the affidavit
OF Carol G. Do]man, and both instru-
ments were filed in the records of Court
Clerk Roberts Office today. Dolman ex-
planned in the instrument that the rea-
SON he made the affidavit was because
the plaintiff is out of the state and that
he was better informed as to the mat
ters alleged in it than she is.
The order directs Judge Arnold to APP
pear for examination on the 7th of Sep
TENDER at 2 p. m. It also commands him
not to pay, transfer, return, or otherwise
part with or dispose Of any debts,
moneys, credits, effects or other prop
erty of Hof's until duly released by law
from the order.

the eight-hour law did not increase

ores in Butte. I said that. fortunately,
this was not so: that the men could
