DANGEROUS PREACHING.

The Rev. George L. McNutt, of In
annapolis, Ind, is either strongly dis
posed toward sensationalism or his
range of mental vision is extremely
contracted. In every event he must he
regarded, in the light of some of the
statements attributed to him through
the press dispatches, quite an unsafe
guide to those who endeavor to study
existing social problems.
The latest declaration attributed to
the Rev. Mr.. McNutt is, in brief. that
the ordinary church is unwilling to ac-
cord the benefit of membership in if to
the ordinary workingman, and that
that particular citizen is called upon to
proceed to establish a church of his
own. In demonstration of the correct
ness of this view of the worlSingman,s
religious rights and obligations Mr..
McNutt relates his own experience
While attending church dressed in the
garb that might ordinarily be expected
TO be worn by a decent but ilI-naid
Workingman. Mr.. McNutt forgets tn
tel the public, whom he seeks to take
INTO ms confidence, the specific church
In which his experience was had. He
is probably wise in so doing. He Ger
talnIy does not promote belief in his
own sincerity or single-mindedness or
IN the truth of his story in withhold
ing the name of that church. His story
is that, having visited a certain fash
1onable church in an Eastern CITY. he
was Informed by some one in attend
ance that the church was not designed
lor persons in his worldly circum-
stances and that he might expect re-
hg1ous ministration by attending at
the mission church around the cor
hef. HIS conclusion, derived appar-
ently mainly from his related expert
ence, is that we ought to have work.
1ngmen's churches as we have worl-
1ngmen's societies. He adds that it ia
subject. of surprise to him that worlk-
lngmen do not take generally to drink
as the result Of their exclusion from
fashionable churches.
A few more public performances Of
this character will no doubt result =,
securing for the Rev. Mr. McN,++ a11
the notoriety that he can desire. Such
statements, accompanied by such CON
ciuslons and advice, if INDUCED in nv
any ordinary member of society would

the gospel, and one who has resigned
his pastorate to take up work among
the poor, it cannot fail, of course, to
attract wide attention. But no matter
how wide or how limited may be the
attention bestowed upon the social
dogmas of the Rev. Mr.. McNutt, it is
plain that upon their face they are of
an exceedingly mischievous tendency,
and sooner or later, if Mr.. McNutt is to
be regarded as possessing the stand
ard of intelligence regarded as neces-
sary to membership in his profession,
he will one day regret exceedingly hav-
ing given expression to them.
The sane, intelligent man who will
go out of his way to stir up discord
among the different elements in the So
cial and industrial life of the United
States is engaged in a very dangerous
undertaking both for himself and 9TH
erS.

great present prosperity of the country.
He also declared that the people de-
manded home rule, but added that he
had no hesitation in declaring that the
people of Ireland are loyal to the king.
He is a sorry Irishman at best who
would take pleasure in disproving the
prosperity of his own people in their
own land. So, that it is quite plain that
the avalanche of abuse and condemna-
ton which has descended on Mr.. Grim
minis through the press, must be re-
garded as proceeding from the express
sion of his belief that the Irish in Ire
land are loyal subjects of the English
king.
There are good many, with perhaps
better opportunities for judgment than
Mr.. Crimmins, who have been forced
to the same conclusion in recent years,
regarding the real attitude of the mass
of the Irish people toward the British
connection. The expression of such
an opinion might not be thought advis-
able by such persons, and surely Mr..
Crimmins is to be commended, rather
than condemned, if having reached that
conviction from his study of the people
in their own land, he gave open ex-
preston to it. He may be mistaken;
but surely his mistake does not neces-
sarily involve crime, as many of his
critics seems to assume.
There are two facts which speak, if
not louder, certainly with more effect,
than those who denounce this New
York contractor for passing his opinion
on matter on which he was plainly
not qualified to speak illtelligently.s
These two facts are: a. Ireland's pop
ulation has been growing less each sue
ceeding year since the famine. (2) The
most representative men in Ireland at
this moment are either in Jail or under
police surveillance.
If government in Ireland today did
not mean for the masses, as it has al
ways meant, robbery and starvation
as indicated by the deadly drain on the
young manhood and Womanhood Of the
country which is in daily progress
claim of prosperity might be regarded
as other than a mere fantasy. If the
mass of the people did not go about, as
they surely do in Ireland, with curse
on their lips for the government and
it's representatives his claim of loyalty
might meet with a more general con-
currence.
The truth of the matter is, that Mr..
Crimmins saw the country perhaps for
the first time, spent a couple of weeks,
chiefly in association with those who
were interested in presenting the view
he. expressed, and thought himself
qualified to speak. His only claim to
being so qualified he got from the Irish
of New York, through his possession of
an Irish name, his being a rich con-
tractor, and, incidentally, something of
politician.

AzTEcS MADE BOOKS
LONG BEFORE COLUMBUS
Written in HieroeIyphs Were Mads

Written in HieroaIyphs Were Made
of Deerskins Cut Like Screens.
When hieroglyphs are mentioned
one naturally thinks of the records of
ancient Egypt; yet before Columbus
landed on these shores the AZtecs of
ANCIENT Mexico had a most elaborate
system of writing in hieroglyphs.
They formed long strips of deerskins
into books folded screen fashion, on
which were depicted signs and repre-
sensations of ceremonlals. These old
pre-Columbian books the Spaniards
greedily collected and burned so that
but ten are known today in the whole
world.
One Of these has only recently been
found in one of the libraries Of Europe,
and an exact copy presented to the
American Museum of Natural History
in this city, where it will shortly be
placed on exhibition. The text rep
resents the history of the lives of sew
eral individuals. One recounts the life
of the Lady Three Glints, who has two
husbands and child and goes through
elaborate ceremonies.
Another portion of this old "CodeX"
as it is called, treats or the life of O
great lord and conqueror named Fire
deer, who, in company with other chief
tains, makes many conquests. This old
book proves most conclusively how
love, religion, and warfare went hand
in hand in the lives or the ancient
Mexicans, just as in peoples lives to-
day.-New York News.

LAMB SAYS HE HAD
TALK WITH VAN SAINT
Latter Said 1t Would Be Good Thing
for State to Buy Stock of
Railways.

!. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE exami-
nation begun yesterday of George A.
Lamb, counsel for Peter Power in the
action against the Northern Pacific di-
rectors, to prevent them from turning
over the stock OF the company to the
Northern Securities company, was re-
sumed before Special Examiner Ma
bic today.
Replying to questions of Mr.. Guth-
RE, for the defense, Mr.. Lamb said
that Power had paid him for services
in the case, and denied that he had re-
eeived a dollar from Camille Weiden-
field or Content & Co. Telling of a
talk with Gov. Van SAINT, of Minnesota,
he declared that the governor had said
to him that it would be good thing
for the state if it could buy stock Of
the Northwestern railroads, but that
the attorney general of the state had
come to the conclusion that the state
could not own the stock
Did Mr.. Weidenfeld ever tell YOU
he wanted somebody punished for the
panic Of May 80" asked Mr.. Guthrie.
He has expressed his indignation
about the matter" said Mr.. Lamb in
reply. HE said they ought to be got
ten after, but that they were too
strong"
At this point the examination of Mr..
Lamb was suspended, and Camille
Weidenfeld, banker and broker, was
called. He denied that he knew Peter
Power or had ever seen him.
Mr.. Weidenfeld absolutely denied
that he ever suggested a f1gurehead as
plaintiff in the litigation against the
Northern Securities company
The session after recess was con-
sumed in the cross examination Of
Mr.. Weidenfeld by Mr.. Lamb. Mr.
Weidenfeld admitted that he had con-
tributed financially to suits brought
against the Northern Pacific by Milton
Bouden and Ellsworth Chapman. He
had never suggested to Mr.. Lamb, he
said, that the latter procure another
plaintiff in these suits so that his
s(Weidenfeld's) identity might be con-
cealed and it was r.Et fact that he
bought stocks so that the Bouden &
Chapman suits might be started.
The hearing will go on tomorrow.
