Announcement.


One of the debaters-Mr. Braden-
having challenged one Of the assistant
moderators, J. II. Black, to discuss the
question (not of Christian baptism but
a side issue,) namely:
Whether or not our English scrip
lures (authorized and revised texts
in the main text. and not in the mar
gin) do or do not correctly render the
Greek proposition (eis) when they
translate it in instead of into, and the
Greek verb (ebaptisthee) by baptize in
stead of by dip or sprinkle. Mr.. Black
desires to announce that, being per-
fectly satisfied that the Greek scholars
who gave us our splendid English
versions would have rendered els by
into, and ebaptisthee by dip or sprinkle
If that had been the proper render
ing.
And believing that these learned
translators were quite as competent
Judges as either Mr. Braden or Mr..
Black and believing also that as a
side issue, which has been thoroughly
threshed out in the course of the pres
ent debate, and believing that Mr..
Braden knew the proposition, did not
state the issue between us at all and
was therefore simply made for effect,
Mr.. Black wishes to announce that II
Mr. Braden cares for further debate he
will be pleased to meet Mr. Braden In

rules as that under which the present

LARGE HAY BARN
BURNS AT BATAVIA.

Batavia-The large hay and stock
barn Of Wilce Latta who resides west
of town two miles was burned to the
ground a few days ago. The fire is sup
posed to have started by spontaneous
combustion. The barn was filed with
hay besides a lot OF corn and other
things In it. 1t Will be quite a loss to
Mr.. Latta as he had only 5000 insur-
ance on the barn and none on the con-
tents. 1t will be remembered that his
father Hugh Latta had fire short
time ago caused by the same thing.

AN ILLINOIS MAN ON PRIMARY

The members OF the investigating
committee sent out from New York to
learn what 1t could as to the operation
Of primary election laws In states
where such laws are in force will take
back with them mass of conflicting
data. Whether the primary law Ia q
success OF a failure depends largely
on the point Of view. In Iowa the
New Workers. heard the primary prais-
ed and condemned. In Illinois they
had the same experience. The most
vigorous attack on the system heard
by the Investigating committee was
made by Speaker Shurtleff of the I'LL
nois house. He said:
1t Is q law for the man with the
loud voice, or the man with the fat
purse, or the Office holder who lavish
ly distributes patronage for political
ends.
The candidate who, by coercion. by
newspaper cajolery, by use Of money,
by use OF patronage, can control q
plurality of the party vote becomes the
party. And he is bound by no pledges
and need be loyal to no principles.
A corrupt of1ceholder has three
chances of denomination and re-elec-
ton under this law where he has one
under the convention system. Any
man In office, however corrupt, has a
following, bound to him by favors and
patronage, with which 1t is easier to
swing a plurality of the popular vote
than majority Of delegate conven-
ton.
Under this law the mass of the
voters are unable to make an intelli-
gent choice in most instances, be-
cause outside Of the local candidates
and the head of the state ticket they
do not and cannot know the men for
whom they are voting.
1t Is rich mans lava dema-
gogue's lava corrupt ofnceholder's
lava law that builds up political
czars.
The New York committee will prob
ably find when they have concluded
the investigation that they knew about
as much as to the working of the d.
rect primary as they did before they
started out To find out just how the
primary works they must put 1t in
operation for themselves Then the
primary will be to them either sue
cess or q failure, depending upon the
point of view.

PRINCE ITO
SHOT DEAD

Han5in, Manchuria, Oct. 26.-Prince
Ito, the former Japanese resident gen
eral Of Korea and recognized as Jan
ans foremost statesman, was assassi-
ed here this afternoon by a Korean
who shot the aged sta esman i'll the
back as he was reviewing a guard of
honor al the railroad station. He was
standing in group composed of Jap
anese and Russian officials when the
shots We're fired from behind. Coun-
sci general Kawa Kan. Manager Tan
naka of the South Manclurian rail
road and Ito's private secretary were
all wounded, kawa Kan seriously.
The assassin, when seized. said he
had come TO Harbin for the sole pur-
pose of killing Ito and TO avenge his
country and his personal hatred. He
said Ito had ordered the execution of
several of his relatives while in pow
er in Korea
The assassination was apparently
dhe outcome of an organized plot. The
body has already been moved home
ward. the Russian minister to Pekin
accompanying IL as far as Kwanching
Tsu.
II was afterwards found that Ito
had received three bullets through
his absionen. He did not recover con
soiousness but died twenty minutes
later. The assassin and his two COM
panions made no attempt to escape.
and boasted of the conspiracy to kill
Ito in return for alleged tyranny as
governor of Korea.
Washington. Oct. 26.-Official Wash
ington was shocked at the death of
Ito. who was looked upon here as one
of the worlds greatest statesmen. 1t
was known that the present trip to
Manchuria was for the purpose OF
forestalling the project of America by
establishing a complete understanding
with China.
Ito played an important part in the
framing of the recent treaty with
China relative to railroad construc-
dion. which is considered by many
diplomats as a violation of the terms
of the Portsmouth treaty which pro-
vided that Japan was not to obstruct
Chinese measures TO increase com-
merce in Manchuria.
