the pending campaign had Influenced
the old age order.
THE Senator says they will give us

it."
Mr.. Lodge made a statement in con-
nection with the postoffice bill on the
subject of cancelling machines. No
progress was made on the bill.
The conference report on the Indian

but further consideration was post

BRITISH DIGNITARY MAKES A
FIERY ATTACK UPON THE BIBLE
S'IncredibIe. Puerie or Demoralizing Narratives
of the Old Testament Condemned.

In the New Testament he finds little
to offend reason or conscience, but
whether much or little, it will have
to go the way of the Old Testament
prodigies." He recommends snpple-
menting the reading Of the Bible IN
church with Christian compositions,
which have secured the approval of
general acceptance" declaring that I'm
discriminate reading of the Bible in
public is an extremely perious pro-
ceeding" and adding that the rigidi-
~ which restricts the modern English
church to canonical scriptures is as
intrinsically indefensible as it is prac-
tically mischievous.
Despite its misuse, however, Canon
Henson holds that the Bible'will con-
tinue for all time to be the best
manual of fundamental morality and
the best corrective of ecclesiastical
corruption besides being the most
effectuol check on the materialistic
tendencies of modern life"
Sir Olive Lodge asks now that re-
lgion is becoming so much more real"
whether the formal statement of some
of the doctrines we have inherited from
medieval and still earlier times can
not wisely and inoffensively be modi-
fed" -ad shocks many of his core
ligionists by declaring that he re-
CARDS the doctrine of atonement in
its concrete form as survival from
barbarous times and regulating the
belief in IAN angry God appeased by
the violent death Of Christ"
These outspoken utterances have
caused public and private appeals to
be made TO the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, but so far no action has been
taken.

Why? Because they say he is a law
unto himself, Czar-unsafe, unsound,
a law maker, a law breaker and the
like, while the candidate on the other
side Is safe and sound, calm and judi
cial. You have to have some one to
testify that he is a Democrat. He
Democracy itself is questioned.
What evidence, Mr.. Spooner asked,
had Mr.. German that the President
is a Gar? He would hate to believe
that Mr.. German meant to charge that
the Republican senators had abdicated
their functions as senators, but he had
shown that disposition by charging
that they are blindly obeying some
outside behest to adjourn Congress at
an early date. AS for himself, he
would admit that he desired to adj
journ. He wanted to get away, not
only because he believed the business
of the session had been practically
completed, but because he thought the
Democratic members ought to be al
lowed to get away and consult with
the people with the end in view of
having "the two wings of the Demo
cratic party flap together SO that they
can select as a candidate some safe,
calm, silent, judicious man who can
be held up in North Carolina as a
trust buster and in Wall street as a
man entirely devoted to the business
interests"

London. April 9.--Canor Henson, one
of the chief dignitaries of Westminster
Abbey and select preacher of both
oxford and Cambridge University, has
raised a storm of criticism by an ar
ticle in the Contemporary Review, in
which he entered into the question of
the future of the Bible. In this ar
ticle Canon Henson impugns the in
SEPARATION of the Old Testament, refer
ing to its incredible, puerile, or de-
moralizing narratives" which are re-
garded as being a pack of lies, too
gross for liberation"
Letters, interviews and resolutions
by church and lay bodies, denouncing
Canon Henson, followed the onslaught.
Sir Oliver Lodge, the distinguished
scientist, added fuel to the fire by an
article entitled suggestions toward the
reinterpretation of the Christian doc
trine"
This agitation for revised Christian
ity, led by such well known men. whose
religious principles even their critics do
not dispute. threatens to stir the
church to an unprecedented degree.

The Lazy Ones Must Stand Aside.

That dull heavy feeling from coffee
may not amount to much in itself but
it's a great obstacle in the way of fame
and fortune, for it kills ambition and
makes one lazy and finally sick.
The successful men or women must
first conquer themselves. The way to
conquer that dull stupid feeling times
out of 10 is to pay little attention to
proper food, coffee in particular will
dull the senses and make one feel lazy
and stupid after the first effects of the
cup have worn off an hour or SO after
drinking 1t.
II was lover of coffee" says a New

vogue of introducing bills and petitions
by silently dropping them into a bas-
ket as it," he said, you were per-
forming an act of doubtful propriety
to be carried on surrepttiously" He
further attacked the rules of the
House, which, he said, forced members
to rise and discuss questions having no
reference to the bill under considera-
ton, thus reducing the whole pro-
ceeding to the level of opera bouffe.
Reverting to the Presidents order,
Mr.. Cochran contended that the Secre-
tary Of the Interior justified the action
upon the precedent of President CleVe-
land We'll, sir, he said, pacing up
and down the center aisle, IF that be
so, then in Gods name let us con-
denim that act of Mr. CleVeland's as
vehemently as the act of any Republi-
can President" The disposition to
justify almost everything by pleading
that Mr.. Cleveland did it," he vigor-
ously- declared, lis the highest COM
pliment that can be paid to a man by
any Congress in our political history"
Continuing, he said: You tell us Mr..
Cleveland did it, and. therefore, it
must be regular. If this act was COM
mitted by Mr. Cleveland" he said, 'the
confidence which he enjoys adds to its
danger and does not lessen it."
He closed amid a storm of applause
by appealing to both sides of the
House to unite on a declaration of
rights beyond which the aggression
of the Senate or of the executive
shall not 60"
Republicans Answered Him.
The President and Secretary of the
Interior found warm supporters in
Messrs. Dalzell, GrosVenor, Gibson,
Calderhead, Lacey and Hepburn. The
former maintained that it made no
difference how many millions of dol
lars were involved in the Presidents
order, because the Secretary of the
Interior distributed the money voted
by Congress pursuant to the rules of
evidence established by the Pension
Bureau. Mr.. Grosvenor believed that
the country and the old soldiers would
approve of the order and that the
money necessary for putting it into
effect would be included in the forth
coming deficiency bill and would be
supported by a majority of the House.
The debate was upon a resolution in
troduced by Mr.. Cochran directing the
Committee on the Judiciary to investi-
gate the recent pension order. 1t had
been reported from the Committee on
Rules with a recommendation that it
lie to the table and this was adopted
by the narrow majority of three votes,
the Speaker having his vote recorded
in the affirmative. Three Republicans,
Messrs. Cushman of Washington, Lit
tlefield of Maine and Mccall of Mas
sachusetts voted with the Democrats
against tabling the resolution.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row, when eulogies will be delivered
on Representatives Burke and Foer-
derer of Pennsylvania.
