WE|GHTY OPINION
Handed Out by Canal Fulton Editor
on the Church Question.

Canal Fulton, o., June 29.-Thls
weeks Signal contains the following
opinion ON churches, preachers and
sinners:
Every little while, if not oftener,
some preacher who wishes to create
a sensation in a mild and inoffensive
way, sends postal cards for replies,
OF questions in some other way, to
men who seldom or never go to
church, asking the reason they are
constantly absent from the house OF
worship. The minister is perhaps
hunting big stick with which to be-
labor his faithful people, SO he gets
these strangers and reprobates to en-
tighten him as to the church's needs
and delinquencies; and what sorry
lot of hypocrites the members of
churches generally are. So when these
delinquents are thus made heroes OF,
they assume an air of superiority and
answer in a strain somewhat after
this fashion: TOO many hypocrites
in the churches" Sermons are an
cient and uninteresting. Church
members do not show a willingness
to pay their debts" Work six, days
and reserve Sunday for recreation"
Church members are too cold to make
one feel welcome"
What a batch of excuses! A man
of ordinary intelligence should be
ashamed to sign his name to such rot
why should he, man fashioned in
the image of his Maker, persist in
remaining a puny, sickly infant all
his life, and expect his neighbors
to carry him around in their hands?
Show thyself man and lend a hand
to help others. The church is not an
asylum, a nursery or a hospital If
the church on earth succeeds in the
work 1t is ordained to accomplish,
it will lift men UP and help them to
higher and better life. If we re-
fuse to be helped, and ignore the prof
fers of assistance, why of course we
cannot get any good from all the
churches and church people in Chris
tendon
EASY TO CRITICIsE.
1t is easy to stand on the other
side OF the street, throw paper wads
at the building and make faces at
the members as they pass in and out
from worship, 1t takes a man who
never attends religious services to
publish statement that ministers are
back numbers and their sermons an
cient, fiat and Improbable. Perhaps
if these paragons of virtue and high
ideals would look at the matter
through unbiased lenses, they would

CONGRESS CLOSING DAYS
Marked With the Usual Turmoil and Bckering.
~-YiIIman Sick and Wants to Get Home.

Washington, June 2S.-The tangled
skein of legislation is being unraveiled
gradually but there are many remain
ing knots to unite before the leaders
can see their way clear to predict the
day when the work will be completed.
Both branches are in session. Un-
der the stress of compulsion legisla-
tion could be closed up early this
afternoon. That would eliminate dis
cussion, however, there being nc
greater demand to adjourn than the
desire of the leaders, increased by the
long hours of labor and intense heat,
the talk gees on in chambers in which
a close atmosphere compels the speak
ers to almost continuously mop their
faces
- For over two hours Senator Till
man in the senate delayed considera-
ton of the omnibus public building
bill while he reviewed incidents con-
nected with the ejectment from the
He was not at his best. He declar-
ed he was worn out and that if he
did not get away soon he would be
sick
He said: Now I've had my say
and if there is anyone who does not
like it they can lump it"
Notwithstanding delays and inter-
ruptions great headway was made in
both branches. In the senate consid-
Grafton of the omnibus public building
bill was almost complete when a re-
cess was taken at p. m. The only
changes made up to that time was to
Increase an appropriation for Green
wood, S. c., to 100000, to retain the
house provision of $4,000 for York,
Pa, give Dalton, Ga, an appropriation
of $4,000 and make the appropria-
tion for Ogden, Utah, available by the
treasury department.
The general deficiency bill was re-
ported, and a night session decided up
on for its consideration.

LOCAL INTEREST
Attached to the Trial of the Bridge
Combine Now on at Lima.

Combine Now on at Lima.
The trial of the bridge trust officials
at Lima, in which Harry Hammond,
formerly Of this city, is the star at
traction, is proving more than usually
sensational according to the dis
patches from that place. Public senti-
ment in favor of the conviction of
those responsible for the bridge COM
bines treasury looting is growing and
there now appears to be good chance
lof some one receiving an imprison-
ment penalty before the prosecution
ends. The dispatch from Lima re-
ferred to is as follows:
Demands are being heard on all
sides for punishment similar to that
administered to the Toledo ice COM
bine criminals in the cases of the men
implicated in the bridge combine
trails here, and feeling is intensified
by an attempted robbery of the pros
ecutor's Office Wednesday night, pre-
sumably for the purpose of stealing
the grand jury report and other evil
dence.
Fortunately, Prosecutor Welty took
the papers home with him yesterday
evening.
Detectives are watching the jurors
because of the recent appearance OF
men who are well known at Colum-
bus for their efforts along the lines
of fixing" things
Prosecutor Welty has received his
heaviest battery for the final shot
William East, the head of the East
Iron C Machine company, of Lima
will be the means by which Welty
hopes to spike the guns of the oppo-
sition.

In the house the conference report
on the railroad rate bill was adopt
ed as agreed upon last night by the
conferees 1t will also be adopted by
! the senate, after discussion. Both
branches adopted partial report on
the agricultural appropriation bill and
then agreed to further conference on
the beef inspection provision, each
body insisting upon its amendments.
The conference report on the pure
food and the sundry civil appropria-
tion bills we're held up for time
in both branches.
The first in order to correct ver-
biage and the latter to meet oppo-
cition in the house to the provision
that the $250,000 for experiments with
fuels by the geological survey be lin
tied to fuels possessed by the gov
ernment.N h
In the house the. railroad rate bill
after several speeches by the conferees
as to the safe and saneness" of the
propositions went through with a
rush, only one vote being heard in
the negative on the question of adopt
ing the report.
Two rules were put through by the
house Republican leaders during the
day. The first made privileges of nu-
merous private bills. The second did
away with the rule that conference
reports be printed in the record before
the house can act upon them. Both
rules were accepted by the Democrats
without pressing their opposition to
the extent of demanding a record vote.
Among the minor bills passed ny
the house was one appropriating $780,
600 for the recovery of Commodore
Perry's flagship, the Niagara, from
Lake Erie, and its installation at
Erie, Pa, as a national relic. An
other measure creates national park
of the petri6ed forests of Arizona.
Another pensions General Bragg, of
Wisconsin, at rate of $50 a month.

BANK LAW !
Constitutionality Upheld
by Decision of the Su-
preme Court Of the
State-A Victory for
Prosecutor Upham.

The highest court in the state, name
ly, the supreme court of Ohio. on yes
terday affirmed the decision of the
circuit court of This judicial district
and ruled that the free banking law
enacted in 1851 is constitutional.
1t is learned that the bank officials
will appeal to the United States su-
preme court in their efforts to have
the law declared unconstitutional AS
soon as Judge Hole learned of the de-
cision of the supreme court he assign
ed the first of the bank cases for trial
on Monday the first day of October,
The cases under the present order of
things will be tried at Lisbon
Prosecutor Upham was very much
pleased with the ruling of the supreme
court. He stated the defendants could
only block immediate prosecution by
perfecting an appeal to the United
States supreme court. From informa-
tion learned by News representative
yesterday the defendants will lose no
time in perfecting their appeal to the
highest court in the United States,
and IT has been stated that Attorney
Lynch was in Columbus yesterday
upon attendance of the session of the
supreme court for the sole purpose of
taking the. necessary steps to appeal
the question of the constitutionality
of the Ohio free banking law to the
United States supreme court in the
event the decision of the highest court
in Ohio was unfavorable to the de-
PENDANTS accused of wrecking the Can
ton State bank.
The further steps of the eminent le-
gal lights engaged in this never-before
contested question will be watched by
the public with interest.

ARBITRATION
Mayor Tom johnson
: Asked to Settle Labor
Trouble in Allentown,
Pa.

cleveland, O., June Striking
employees OF a Pennsylvania traction
company, in which he is the domi-
nant factor, appealed to Mayor John
son yesterday to act as sole arbitra-
tor OF the points at issue. To their
petition they added pledge that his
decision, whatever its nature might
be, would be accepted by them.
The strike is on the lines of the
Lehigh Valley Transit company at AL
lentown and has been on since last
Sunday. Mayor Johnson, by virtue of
his position as administrator of the
estate OF his brother, Albert Johnson,
is one of the seven directors of the
company, whose stock is largely held
by the estate.
= FIRST SUCH ARBITRATOR.
The request that he act as arbitra-
tor for men who are practically his
own employees, therefore, came to the
mayor with peculiar force, 1t is prob
ably unique instance in labor con-
troversies.
/ The request that he do so was pro-
sented to him by committee from
the strikers. They were introduced by
Harry Thomas, secretary of the Unit
ed Trades and Labor council. They
told the mayor they desired peace and
urged him to go to Allentown at
once.
The press of public business which
has accumulated during his absence
in the east compelled the mayor to
ask for time. He said it was impos-
sible for him to go today, but he
would gladly do so tomorrow or Sun
day If satisfactory TO the men. That
their answer will be in the affirma-
tive Is unquestioned.
The cause of the strike was the
summary discharge of fourteen en-
ployes of the company. These we're
all members of the union and their
associates alleged this membership
was the sole motive for the company's
action. When the operating officers
of the company refused to reinsiate
them the motormen and conductors
voted strike. which went into effect
last Sunday morning.
