Against Regulating Amusements.

The church papers are discussing
again the old subject of whether indl-
vidual judgment in the matter OF
amusements should be ruled by the
church, stimulated by the stand taken
by Bishop Andrews in recent article
for the New York Methodist Review.
He says the subject Of amusements is
scarcely touched in the New Tesla
ment and that the Christian must
find duty by the rule Of general conse-
quences' and by the fitness Of an ac-
ton to advance righteousness in the
individual and society. He doubtT
either the right or the expediency OF
the church attempting to prohibit any
class Of amusements to its members.
Catholic Heresy Syllabus.
The text of the recent syllabus pro-
-1ulgated recently by Pope Plus,
which has now reached America and
been published in the Catholic papers,
defines as heresies siXty-fve doctrines,
mainly those held by liberal men with
in the church in Europe. The Litera-
ry Digest says that among the Amer
lean Catholic journals acQuiescence is
general. Its reception in France and
Germany is far less cordial, though
there is no open revolt among the
clergy. One important French week
ly, the Lyons Domain, has suspended
rather than take the responsibility Of
attacking the decree. It's editors say
that the task of reconciling religion
and science within the church has
been made impossible by these pro-
hibitions against all railroads.&c. meth

Mrs. Ryan PapaI Countess.
The fact has just leaked out that in
December last Pope Plus conferred
upon Mrs. Thomas f. Ryan the title
IF countess on account of her numer-
Gus and munificent gifts to the church,
amounting to more than $5,000,00O In
the last four years. 1t is now reported
that Mr.. Ryan is to be made q noble

Mrs. Eddy Forsives AssaiIants.

Eddy, the Christian Science leader,
since the withdrawal of the suit of
"neXt friends" to prove her mental in

as saying: Persecution cannot last

~ cheeied as the next president of
the United States" The governors
speech has been widely quoted as con.
tanning sober and sane sentiments. He
said the way to deal with existing
public service troubles was to show
the people that no corporate or finan.
cial power has strength to defy their
will. He said they should not be
fooled by those who say that the cor
porations cannot live under fair reg
ulation, but that, on the other hand,
he did not propose to establish absurd
and impossible rules which might pre-
vent the corporations from rendering
good service. He said the last legisla-
ture had gone long way toward pro-
yiding the necessary machinery for
enabling the state to control these
matters, and now he proposed to see
that it worked well. In conclusion he
said:
"Let us have it thoroughly under
stood that man walks to his political
doom who thinks of anything else but
the public welfare in connection with

REPORTS from Pierre are to the eff
feet that a bill will be introduced
which, if enacted, will make an entire
new school law. At the request of
the State Educational Association
Gov. Elrod appointed as a committee
to frame bill Prof. King, of Castle
wood, and Prof. Swanson, of Mathews
township, this county, and the attor.
ney general. Under our present law
we have fine system of schools, and
it is hard to see how new law can
improve the schools to any great ex-
tent. Given the means to support
a school, the success of the institution
depends mostly upon the ability of
the teacher Ito instruct along the
course of study laid down for the diff
ferent grades. A new law will not
add to the qualifications of the in
structor There has been to much
tinkering of the school law in times
past, and there is too much of ten
dency on the part of the Educational
Association to think it has a capacity
for law making. In 1897 commit
tee, headed by Prof. Robt. Kerr, of
the Brookings college, and he is a
very able man in his line, one of wide
experience, drafted practically new
school law which the Legislature
adopted. The law has been tinkered
at every session since. The amend
ments made to the law from time to
time are the most valuable features of
the law they are the result of neces-
sity and practical experience. A new
law will contain the hobbies of the
individuals who draft the bill, and il
will not be satisfactory tothe teachers
of the state they never have agreed
yet as to great changes in the law,
and they never will. The Legislature
will do well to dolittle with the school
law.

of the small spectators who have
small holdings on a small margin.
The manipulation of the market only
a few cents is enough for that pur-
pose. In the stock market this
Shaking OUT of the small fry is call
ed ''shearing the lambs" But there
is still unother shaking out indulg
ed in by the "kings of finance In
the latter fortunes of considerable
magnitude invested in legitimate in
dustries seemingly warranted by the
prosperity of the good times" are
wrecked, real estate values shrink
fearfully because of forced sales to
meet other obligations. The depres-
sion thus ftarted extends and takes
in all lines of industry. stocks and
bonds lower, rates of interest are rails
ed and millions upon millions of dol
lars worth of property are sacrificed
at fraction of the cost in ':good
times it is the shaking out" the
"shearing of the lambs, only on a
larger scale. When one loses another
must gain, and the ''kings of finance"
acquire at discount what the less
fortunate are compelled to drop. The
Shaking out" completed, confidence"
is again restored, the kings losen their
grip on the money mark, interests
rates lower, and the public once goes
to woek to rebuild that which is des-
troyed, only, in time to have the
soaking out" repeated. We repeat
that nothing but wilful manipulation
of the money market makes hard
times. Nature is as productive dur
one period as another, labor is as
plenty and as willing to be employ
ed All the productive forces are as
capable and as willing at one time
as another. 1t follows then that the
medium of exchange between the diff
ferent lines of industry (money) is the
only thing lacking in hard times, and
there the only cause.
