ToT1NG PISTOLS.

[CreSton Advertisements
The practice Of every would-be tough
in the city carrying firearms on their
person, and showing a disposition to
use them on the slightest provocation,
indicates there will be murders in this
city if the police and the higher au-
thorities permit this state of affairs
to continue. There are gun plays in
this city almost every week, and yet
the records of the police court fail to
show any convictions or even arrests
for carrying concealed weapons.
There was no arrest in this case of
the young man. who had the revolver
on his person. Human life is held
mighty cheap when these dime novel
youngsters are permitted to go armed
like desperadoes, as but few of them
have any more sense than to use
their guns. There will be an unpro-
voked murder in this city some day
and then there will be a great cutlery
and locking of the stable door after
the horse has been stolen. Would 1t
not be the part of wisdom to arrest
some of these pistol toting towards
before they do any damage and let
them have the full penalty of the law.
All over the country there is resulting
revulsion against the practice of
carrying firearms, as 1t has been
shown that two-thirds Of the murders
result from this cause.

proceeding is by counter organization
to confer as to the best methods OF
arousing the people to the support OF
men and measures that will curb the
power of the corporation in poliacs
and insist upon popular government
in fact as we'll as in philosophy. 10
this end the Beacon with all possible
earnestness advocates the enactment
of a state primary law. Under the
caucus system the conference is ex-
pected to do business. Under the prl-
may conferences can exercise only
suggestive influence. Our standpat
brethren may rob the conference OF all
undue power in the state, as 1t is IN
this and other counties under the prl-
mary system by helping up pull Tor
statewide primary. When nomlha-
lions are wholly in the hands OF the
people; when the citizen votes direct
for the candidate, instead OF for the
man that votes for the man that votes
for the candidate the political confer
ence will be entirely innocent Of all
forms of usurpation.

Esprit Lake Beacon)


A number of standpat brethren are
taking liberties with the name and
conscience and conduct of the political
editor of the Beacon, in the matter of
his sentiments and general relations as
to political conferences. 1t is really
not so much matter of Importance
as to be a seemly topic of public
discussion, but the editor is will
ing to say he has no political rec
ord he is at all inclined to run away
from. He is not a candidate aggress-
i've, receptive or otherwise for any
office elective or appointive under
heaven or among men. Many times he
has conferred with his fellow citizens
in county. district and state upon mat
tiers of public Importance, and he is
very sure he never plotted injustice to
any man nor sought in any degree to
defeat the free expression of the peo
pie upon any matters of public policy.
The editor believes in organization,
religious. social. political. He believes
the railways of this state never could
have so frequently shaped affairs po-
litical to their selfish ends without or

feat such unworthy and unpatriotic

FAvoRs SHIP SUBSIDY,
Senator Mallory Urges Discriminating
Duty in Favor of American Ships.

Washington, Jan. ia discrimin-
ating duty in favor Of American vessels
was urged by Senator Mallory as the
most effective means of building up an
American merchant marine. Senator
Mallory took the lead in yesterdays
discussion of the Gallinger ship subsidy
bill, which he said he opposed for con-
stitutional reasons. He called atten-
ton to the provision for levying tax
on foreign bottoms brought into the
United States, and made the points
that as in this feature the bill is
revenue-raising measure it should UNI
der recent contentious by the house
originate in that body.
Mr.. Mallory opposed the provisions
granting subsidies to ships and boun-
ties to the proposed naval reserve. He
stitutional and predicted that even If
carried into effect the plan would prove
a failure.
Mr.. Mallory elaborated his constitu-
tional objections to the bill and Mr..
Gallinger asked him if he considered
the subsidy granted for carrying the
southern mails as unconstitutional?
NO" replied Mr.. Mallory, Il think
it is not ] vote for it every time"
"Do you consider the appropriation
of half a million dollars for the sup
preston of the boil weevil as in sub
vention Of the constitutions" asked the
New Hampshire senator.
II do not" replied Mr.. Mallory, ut
is In the interest of the general well
fare
During the controversy Mr.. Bacon
suggested that American corporations
like the Standard Oil Company en-
gagged in transporting their own goods
to market could take advantage of the
subsidy provision of the bill. Mr.. Gal
linger admitted the force of the OBJ
lection and promised that the defect
would be corrected.
Mr.. Patterson made a point against
the bill on the ground that it grants
a subsidy of half million dollars to
the American line on the Atlantic oc-
can and the Oceanic on the Pacific not
withstanding that those lines had re-
Gently entered into contracts to carry
the mails for the next ten years with

precedent is established ! apprehend

adequate compensation and insisting

British Grant Is Larger.
Mr. Frye replied that under the
British flag the American line would
receive $4,000 more per annum than
it receives under the flag of the United
States.
Mr.. Gallinger gave notice that on
Monday next he would ask the senate
to fix time to vote on the shipping

The Country Minister.

DIR. Everett Hale begins his article in
the Homiletic Review by instancing the
watchful oversight of a country min
ister like his own grandfather, with
sixty or eighty families under his eye.
Exactly such oversight should be
maintained by the church of Christ in
every crowded city of America with as
much dignity and success as in villages
of 500 people. But no city in Arneri-
ca now can pretend to any such min
istry. In an ideal town, whether of one
thousand or of one million inhabitants,
all the persons who call themselves
the ministers in town would be called
together by the man of most experience
of them all-probably the oldest OF
them ALL He would show them that
there is now nothing like a Christian
ministry for one-quarter part Of the
residents of that town. He would show
them that our secular lines divide peo-
pie off into hundred or two different
fraternities. He would show that the
religious newspapers generally do their
best and worst to maintain this sever
ance''
st hope the whole time of the meet
ing will be used up in hearing his state
ment of present evil. / hope that those
whom he addresses will appoint an
executive committee Of three who shall
prepare a plan for the districting of
that city into as many parishes or
wards or districts as it has meeting
houses. should suggest that the lines
of these districts should be so drawn
they could be easily remembered, and
with no slavish adherence to arith-
metical precision. I should hope that
they might not be often altered. Just
so soon as my combination Of the
clergy had agreed on system of dis
tricts we should find that about three
quarters of the families of those dis
tricts in an American city consider
that they belong to some particular
ecclesiastical organization. To that
particular organization we ought to
leave them But in every considerable
city we should find, speaking roughly,
about a quarter of the population with
whom such ties, if they exist at all,
are very weak. 1t is for that quarter
that we must try, by common consent.
