Devices Dep osition and Return.

The home. coming of the imposter
Dowie, has been the subject OF many
broadside- OF sensational and con-
Trajectory statements, the past week,
in the yellow journals. 1t has been
maintained that Dowie was approach
ing Zion with blood in his eye and
just as positively asserted that Noliva
had called his cohorts together, and
after presenting them with evidence
in detail that Dowie had been guilty
of the most Infamous frauds, took a
vote and all agreeing TO stand BY him,
he had told them to stay at home
when Dowic arrived in Zion, and that
he (Noliva) would see that he did not
gain admittance to the temple to
harangue the people as he had an
nounced as his programme.
1t turns out, however, that there
has been decided modification of the
aggressive assault planned by Dowie'
and when he bad almost finished lis
journey and arrived at Chicago, lie
paused to change the mode Of attack
from a personal assertion of authority
and taking possession, to Il legal one,
and he actually conceded that he was
fearful that a trap had been set for
him to fall into. This is quite differ
ent from Dowie's ordinary methods
and implies wonderful though doubt.
less brief assertion Of reason.
There has been a change in the
programme at Zion, as we'll, and
Voliva declares that if Dowie comes
quietly to Zion City, he may use
Shiloh (the temple) to receive the
statements prepared against him, and
should he express . willingness to
answer them, he will be allowed TO do
so in presence of the overseers.
1t seems, however, that Voliva's at
tack upon the tenets of the church
itself, has removed some Of the feeling
that had been aroused by Dowie's acts.
He seems to have covered more ground
than was prudent, and when the creed
was assaulted the bigotry of poor frail
humanity was again aroused and made
the controlling motive. How far this
feeling exists, is not stated, but il
was sufficient to produce q relapse on
Mrs. Dowie, and she swooned away
She expressed q fear that bloodshed

LAYS ALL BLAME ON ELECTRICITY
AND STEAM.-Charles S. Fairchild. who
was Secretary of the Treasury during
Cleveland's first term az President, is
of the opinion that the concentration
of power in the industrial and financial
world is due almost entirely to the i'm
provement in transportation methods,
the foundation OF which are electricity
and steam. The application OF this
idea is, however, 30 abstruse as to make
it impossible for most people TO com.
prehend its dread import. Some Of Us
thought that to limit or control the
OIL product nr repeal the tariff on snme
wealth.producing commodities, might
help to relax the grasp. but few of the
Cleveland goldbugs ever think OF that.
NEITHER the President nor his At.
torney General seem very much pleased
over the success of the immunity plea
by the Chicago packers before Judge
Humphrey. What makes tho matter
still moro vexatious is the reflection
that under the Paul Morton precedent
in the Santa Fe rebates, established by
the President, there is such a wide
difference between . person accused Of
violation of law and q system which
imposes that duty upon him. and the
immunity TO the packers is along that
line OF logic.

The constitutional question has

atty of such ordinances is finally
determined.
Thirty-seven more arrests for
Sunday law violation were disposed
of today by demurrers, whose argu-
