Mr.. Jabex HAN ON Religious Unrest


S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald.
They're huntin' fer new belief to take
the old ones place;
The doctors and professors amt quite
satisfied no more,
And it seems to sort of got to be a kind
of mild disgrace
Fer folks to keep believin' as their par
ents did before.
They say it shows you're ignorant to
think that Gods up there
A-guidin' this old world along and
watchin' day and night;
They say the Bibles only a historical ef
fair;
And they're fxin' up new doctrines fer
to keep things goin right
But with all their talk and tinkerin' they
haint arranged it so
That folks can quite afford to not be
decent here below.
IT don't pretend to know it all. and
mebby there's a way
That's better than the one our mothers
wanted us to take;
They may find fairer doctrine or ar
range a creed some day
ThaCn not have emmy flaws in and'll
neither bend nor break;
But with all their college learnin' and
their searchin high and low,
And their great philosophizin' there is
one thing they forget
They can take the creeds and smash 'em
and bring out their proofs to show
That the old religions foolish, but there
amt none of EN- yet
Found a way that they can fix it so we
needn't try nor care
To be righteous or be decent and still
keep a-gettin' there.
The ones that keep a-kickin al the old
religions most
Amt worried over whether Moses real
~ talked with God,
And 1 guess they'd find 1t easy to accept
the Holy Ghost,
II in doin' 50 there wasn't a straight
pathway to be trod-
What we wants new religion thatll let
us all be free
To give our inclinations loose rein
an let EN- 60;
But none of these here creeds they re
zettin' up. " seems 10 me.
Is helpin' ont speck, and what's the
use. I'd live to know?
II the ones that turn and get the new
religions they arrange
Must still keep bein' good, why, what's
the use OF emmy changer

A ROTTEN LEGISLATURE.

If what some of the Philadelphia pa
pers are saying about the Pennsylvania
Legislature which adjourned last Thurs
tive body as ever assembled anywhere.
The Philadelphia Press says that more
than 100000 was paid to senators and
representatives. for their votes on vari-
Gus bills in which franchises were given
away or appropriations in which certain
individuals or corporations were inter-
ested. The prices paid for votes ranged
all the way from $1,000 to $4,000.
The buying of votes began with the
election of speaker. The machine. or
combination which organized the Legis-
lature for corrupt purposes. had, OF
course, to have in the speakers chair
man who was in sympathy with its
plans, because the speaker practically
controls legislation through the appoint.
ment of the committees 1t is alleged
that for a few votes that were needed
to elect a speaker as much as $4,000 each
was paid.
Under the circumstances is II to be-
wondered 1T that the interests OF the peo'
pie were shamefully neglected-that fran
chises were given away which wereAwortf
many millions of dollars? When there
is such corruption in the Legislature OF
Pennsylvania is 1t at all remarkable that
there should be corruption in the coun.
ellis Of the chief city OF that state? The
street railway franchises in Philadelphia
alone which the Legislature made it pos.
sible for the councils of that city to give
away, are worth millions of dollars. Johr
wanamaker offered 100000 for them
and there is no doubt that they are wortl
a great deal more II is easy to under
stand, therefore, why so much money
was used in buying members Of the Leg
islature.
Would II not be well for the news
papers of PhiladePhia-the Republican
newspapers-to devote more time to puri
Tying politics in their own state and cit,
and less to critlcising political condition.
in the Southg When they are in posi-
ton to say that they have clean politics
in their own state and city their crlti
cisms OF political methods in the Soutl
will have more force.

THE BILL For FREEING CUBA.

Is it the intention of the United States
to demand of Cuba payment of the money
that was expended by them In liberating
her from Spain? The impression is be-
ing sent out in the dispatches from Wash
ington that there is such an Intention.
1t is asserted that the Secretary of
War has ordered the different officers
under his Jurisdiction. VINO are in a po-
sition to furnish information as to the
amount of money the United States have
expended in freeing Cuba, to make up
a statement of these expenditures. Mr..
Root is a man who keeps his own coun-
sell 1t is not known therefore what his
purpose is in having a bill OF costs made
out against Cuba He may simply want
the information collected in a concise
form so that 1t will be possible to get it
quickly II for any purpose 1t should be
needed at any time.
1t is possible that it is the purpose
of the President to send the itemized ac
count to Congress, with a recommenda-
ton of some sort. The President of
course could not without the authority
of Congress present a bill to Cuba for
the money spent in her behalf in the
war with Spain. Secretary Root would
not make out such a bill unless under
the direction of the President. Doubt
less the matter has been discussed in
cabinet. and the conclusion reached that
It would be advisable to have the infor
nation the Secretary is now collecting.
The idea that it is the purpose of the
United States to take possession of Cuba,
if the Cuban government, when estab-
lished, should refuse to pay the bill Is
simply preposterous. Assertions or inti-
nations that there is any such purpose
are simply for sensational purposes. 1t
would be but just of course for Cuba to
pay the cost of freeing her from the Span
ish yoke, IL she could do so, but the
United States will never press her for
payment and it is a question If they
will suggest payment as long as Cuba
shows ability to govern herself. But If
the new government should go down in
revolution a question might then be
presented which this bill, for freeing the
island from Spain, might help to settle.
