War Relics Not Highly Regarded.
From ne Washington .Sta'


A Washington veteran who recently visited his :
torlc south Mountain. in Washington county. Nd.
found that there are many grim relics OF the san =
culinary battle OF Aniictam, and the night on South
Mountain, In possession OF Tho farmers In that
vicinity.
The strangest part OF IT," said the Washington
man, is that these relics regarded by the l.
iives as OF little value. In one place. not far from
EaElc's MIL, a farmer has a beautifully engraved
Masonic sword which has been used as playthlng
by the children OF the ncghborhood. The handle
OF the sword Is OF ivory carved with Masonic EN-
blems.
"Th- farmer who owns this rare relic stated that
his father detached II from the body Of dead Con
fedorac oiictr who, after being shot at the battle
OF South Mount ain, crawled into th!cket 10 die.
His remains were found there several days after
the night, when the guns OF both armies were thun :
dering along AE,irtam creek and about Sharpsburg.

clump OF bushes on South Mountain is doing duty

Is There Drift Toward X ,liouailsm,

A letter from Jew which we print to-
day makes the interesting suggestion
that as the tendency OF Jews in this
country is toward reformed or liberal
or rationalistic Judaism, they are getting
into "one category with advanced Chris
as an example.
1t is a remarkable fact however, that
the Unitarians and other dstinctvely
ratiOnalistie bodies of Christians are di-
minishing rather than gaining in num-
bers in New York. so far as organized
membership goes, while the denomina-
tons OF orthodox Christianity show an
Increase.
According to a computation OF Chris
tian communicates in New York last
year made by the Federation Of Churches
the Unitarans numbered only l,e45 and
had fallen off nearly per cent during the
year. The Cnivcrsalists were less than
thousand, or about fifth less. The
exact relative numbers of the orthodox
and the reformed Jews are not obtain
able, but unquestionably at present the
former are by far the more numerous
The richest Jewish congregation in this
country is unquestionably that Of the
reformed Temple Emanuel, at Fifth
avenue and Forty-third street, but in
numbers it is small relatively to the ap-
gregate of the congregations of the more
than three hundred synagog,es in the
East Side district of the town below
Houston street, the seat of orthodox
Jewry.
Of the Christian communicates Of New
York last year, enumerated by that Fed
Grafton as 1893, $50 out Of total esti-
mated population OF seas. sO7. all except
about ten thousand were included in
the fifty-odd denominations OF the differ
ont varieties OF religious orthodoxy, In
the sense of acceptance OF the funda-
mental dogmas of supernatural Chris
tianity. OF the whole number of Prot
estant communicates all except about
eight thousand were members Of the
strictly "evangelical' denominations the
Episcopal, Presbyterian and Reformed
Dutch, the Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist
and Congregational.
Nominally, at least, the approximation
OF New York Christianity to the ration
alistio position Of reformed Judaism is
insignificant. SO far as there has been
gain numerically, it has been on the
side OF Christian orthodoxy, The ae-
gregate number OF people in the ration
alistic organizations is so trifing rcla-
lively as to be negligible.
The majority Of the people Of New
York, however, arc not communicate.

million Protestants are set down by the

Progress OF the Antl-CathOlic Cruz
SADIE in France.

Since the bill for the abolition of the
Concordat between France and the
Papacy was reported to the Chamber of
Deputies by Parliamentary Commits
sion in the latter part of March the dis
cussion OF the measure has gone on, and
if we may Judge from the number Of
Deputies who have announced their in
tention of speaking, it is likely to con-
tinue for some time. Already the debate
has disclosed serious differences in the
ranks OF the Government majority, and
some harsh features of the original
project have been so softened us to pro-
woke remonstranCe on the part Of eX-
Premier CoMBEs. Meanwhile the five Car
dnals who are Archbishops and Bishops
Of sees in France have formulated in
studiously restrained and respectful
terms their objections to the pending
bill, in a memorial addressed to the Prcsi-
dent of the French Republic. The text
of this document is now before U.S.
The Cardinals submit that the sup
preston of the budget for public wor-
ship would be violation of one Of the
most important clauses OF the Concordat.
They point out that at the time when
the compact between France and the
Papaoy was made, it was recognized
by the State that there was need OF un-
doing the injustice wrought by the Revo-
lutionary DEGREES, Of settling mems con-
scientious scruples, and of securing an
unclouded title for individual holders Of
Church lands. By that agreement the
Church surrendered all right OF reclaim
ing it's lands, and in return the State
pledged itself to furnish an endowment
for the clergy. The complete suppress
sion Of the budget for religious worship
would be, so the Cardinals contend, q
refusal to carry out clear obligation
born Of a contract. They predict that
such an act OF reputation would dis
turb profoundly the public conscience.
The Cardinals further deny that Cath
olics may lawfully be deprived of their
churches. They point out that, just as
in 1859 the property Of the clergy was
put at the disposal OF the nation" to
avert public bankruptcy, 80 through
tho Concordat the churches were again
placed at the disposal of the Bishops. :"
Nobody disputes that there had been
transfer Of property in the first cage;

Who Arc tho "COrporation' Legis
latorsn

Our esteemed contemporary the Cht-
COCO Tribune, a newspaper published by
a corporation, seems to be endeavoring
to establish classification distinguish
ina Corporation Senators" from those
who are not corporation Senators.
Precision and clarity do not attend the
Tribunes efforts in this direction.
We have at.hand no list Of the invest
ments and possessions Of the several
gentlemen who sit in the United states
Senate. If a complete schedule OF the
property of every on, Of them was avail
able for scrutiny, we should be very
much surpr sed to find a ngle Individual
among the eighty-nine who IL not cor
poration Senator. Indeed il an excep-
ton were discovered in the person OF
Senator actually destitute of certificate
or memorandum Of Indebtedness link
inc his name with the corporate inter-
ests, we should be inclined to commlser-
ate him.
W. should be still more astonished II
the complete abs,ention from proprle-
tary interest N cor. GRAFTON stocks or
securities in the case OF any "non-cor-
poration" Senator or Representative
were explained by that legislator as the
result Of the stern application OF moral
principles, rather than as arising from
his lack of thrift, or opportunity, or
talent for accumulation and Legitimate
investment.
OF course, if the circumstance OF being
a CORPORATION Senator involves odium
and the Chicago Tribune appears to
regard il so-it makes no difference in
the moral sense whether the culprit is
implicated to the extent OF five hundred
dollars or five millions. The principle
Is the same.
We can imagine our esteemed con-
temporary replying that not the mere
ownership of stocks or bonds of corpora
tons makes the corporation Senator
or Representative, but a willingness on
his part to allow such ownership or inter-
eat to influence his professed opinions
and his votes in matters OF legislation
affecting corporations.
The moral offense, then, becomes one OF
motive, which is something pretty diff
cult to establish satisfactorily. What test
would the Chicago Tribune apply? The
correspondence or correspondents
OF the suspected leg slator's views Of
right and wrong and public policy with
it's own views on the same sub ect?
That would be ridiculous.

The avidity with which the Japanese
people, besides many foreigners, absorb
her war loans is surprising, particularly in
contrast with the marked neglect OF tho
Russian domestic war loans by the Russian
people. Japan has issued four domestic
war loans, In amounts and subscriptions
as follows:
Premium
Loan. Subscribed. OFFERED
First loan. $50 10000 s22s,0pooo Sl6.70oooo
Second loan ..... 5O.OoO,ooo lslOtN,ooo 100000
Third loan .... 100000 $4,000 900 03o 900
Fourth loan. .... 5oOoo,OOo 2So,OOo,ooo Ss.sooooo
These figures are given in the Sun Trade
Journal Of Toxic for May. Foreigners alb
sorbed about half the fourth loan, which
was a signal success. British subjects and
American citizens lead the list, followed by
some Chinese. The foreign community Of
Yokohama alone offered to take $1,000 ,00O
London applied for 100000 and New
York for 81, 500 900. Some foreigners offered
$50 premium for each $500 bond.
The fifth domestic loan OF $50 600 ,oOo, issued
May /, was as successful as the fourth.

A golden opportunity presents itself
to the homeseeker in the sale of Minne-
sofa lands, which will take place dur
ing October and November of this
year Approximately 100000 acres
viii be sold under the state laws of
Minnesota and the terms on which

the highest bidder But Is per cent
Of the purchase price needs to be paid
at the time Of sale. The balance may
run for forty years at 4 per cent an
nual interest if desired. Bear in mind
that the settler is dealing with the
state Of Minnesota and that the title
to all state land is perfect, making this
an uncommon offer. The lands own
ed by the state Of Minnesota are dis
tributed particularly in the northern
part of the state, some in rich wheat
fields Of the western portion OF the
state, and in the main, will grow any

Oklahoma Lands for Lease,

A big event in the history of the
Southwest will be the leasing of the
Indian pasture lands in Southwest
Oklahoma, on December 4th, next.
The Interior Department of the
United States has arranged to lease
these lands for agricultural purposes
for terms of five years, with the lessee S
preference-right to release at the end
of the period, subject to appraisement
by the Secretary Of the Interior. The
amount of land to be leased to any
one person, firm, or company is from
a quarter to two sections. This re-
striction is designed to prevent large
tracts being controlled for grazing
purposes.
The main body OF this land is located
in Caddo, KiOwa and COmanche
counties embracing a tract of about
$50, 600 acres, most Of which is valuable
farming land, on which cotton, wheat,
alfalfa and Kaffir corn are readily
@Npwn. All the pasture reserves are
NeIkwatered and much OF the land is
thcated along creek and river bottoms.
Rainfall in this section, this year, has
been above the average.
chattanooga, on the Rock Island
System, is the nearest railway station
to the big Pasture. " Any additional
information desired will be furnished
on application to JOHN SEBASTIAN,
