Sermon, and Roasts the Cow.
A Large Congregation Was Out to
Hear Him Children's Day
Yesterday.
MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MET

"A large congregation was assembled
last evening at the Broadway Method
list church TO hear DIR. @. W. Briggs
preach on THAT Brindled Cow Full of
Geraniums. Not only was this sub
iect somewhat unique, but it is one
which is interesting and agitating our
city to a great extent at present, and
tho sermon was preached by request.
The subject was q quotation borrowed
from . notable speech recently deliv-
cred by a prominent member of the
city council
DIR. Briggs text was the words OF
Judas Iscariot at the breaking Of the
alabaster box Of ointment; ITO what
purpose is this waste? For the oint-
ment might have been sold for much
and given to the poor"
After Introductory remarks on the
text. connecting it with and leading
up to the subject, he said that he
would not have presumed to introduce
the town COW INTO the pulpit II ne
did not feel there wore important les
sons to be enforced that there were
strong underlying truths OF moral
and spiritual force to be taught. over
twenty years ago IN ms nrst charge
an obscure little Alabama town, the
goats were allowed to take the place
and his church, and when he ventured
to demonstrate he was told that the
goat was Gods best GIT to man. and
now twenty years AFTER IN one OF the
most aggressive and progressive cities
OF Kentucky, he heard the same re-
frain in regard to the cow roaming at
large. he said the spirit OF progress

duty. This man, Mr.. Oxnard, whose
little finger Is thicker than the loins
of the law, makes no pretmse that
his opposition TO the Cuban relief is
based on other than selfish ends.
alike disgraceful to our pretensions Of
setting Cuba free and contrary to our
own public interest. AS a last re-
source he has raised the cry that the
reduction of the sugar duties-howcver
lust to- the Cubans and advantageous
to the consumer here, is desired by the
New York sugar trust. This is indeed
a shameful argument to urge-for one
trust to say that because another trust
wants a thing done, therefore 1t must
be an evil thing and ought not to be
done. OF itself it throws n flood Of
light upon the entire trust question,
and shows how far they believe them
selves 10 be the unmixed good they
claim they are.
But the fact, If it is so, that Mr..
Havemeyers combine wants lower
duties on sugar. is no reason why we
should come short of being just to a
people. for whom-upon every consid-
Grafton of honorable public conduct
and national good morals-we are
bound to have the most scrupulous re-
gard. or TO deny to our own citizens
some small right of buying and selling
where they can do so with advantage to
themselves and good faith to their
customers and allies.
The disgrace OF this situation is not
relieved by the fact that the Louisiana
Congressmen-a although processing to
be Democrats. join In the refusal of
the other trust beneficiaries to accord
10 the Cubans the small measure of
Justice and humanity which they
seek. These men are Democrats only
in name. They have no conception of
what Democracy really means, and
their party suffers in repute by bear
ing on its rolls men who in public
station permit the commercial inter
ests of few TO override the welfare
of the whole people.

just or tricky in its policy at home or
in its dealings with others. The

Is none too good now, and it will not

ing those whom we pretend to have
set free, but whom we really are hold

bondage.

LOVE PASSES BY.

Love passes by in airy fight.
Ere yet we deemed him nigh;
In all the longing hearts despite
Love passes by.
We hear, perchance. a tender sigh,
A shadow wells the sight;
The white-winged doves drift past on
high.
So life doth miss life's best delight
When swift as songbirds fly,
Nor bending from his heavenly height,
Love passes by.
