Generals. The detection Of the army has been the
basis of troubles and revolutions IN States great

Dow1E's TROUBLES.

Not few writer's who pace the editorial quarter
deck have turned their guns at various times upon
John Alexander Dowie,: Prophet of Zion. They
have exhausted their epithets and pounded him
with hot shot. They have proclaimed him faker, a
pous fraud, unhallowed, unrighteous. with never
thought for which the world might be the bet
one claim to consderation-he has made pot of
money.
From the financial standpoint lie has been the
wonder, not to say the admiration of many. Yes.
now comes the news that the founder of Zion City
is Il bankrupt: that the man who gathered together
in his train following ten thousand strong and
who established town and industries representing
something like $2O.O00O0O. is facing the end of his
scheme.
If the Prophet cannot raise funds at once his fol-
lowers will fall away. The marvellous structures he
has reared his tangible creations materiaized out
of enthusiasm awakened in many thousand simple
minded persons, will be deserted and will fall to
decay.
The man is not remarkable as he is seen from a
distance through his utterances, but he is remark
able for what lie has done His story is one Of the
most curious chapters in the history of presentday
religious excitements
Possibly majority of those who placed their
faith in him have benefited rattle. than suffered
through the experience. He insisted upon and eff
fected by his iron rule. higher moral life in his
flock than that from which most of them were
saved
Should 1t develop that. the report from BOSTON
indicates, he has 'salted away" and dispatched to
Australia some millions then the man is worse than
