\ SILLY ARGUMENT.

Senator Lormer. in HIS famous de-
Tense before the Senate. had recourse to
rather peculiar logic. when he said. re-
ferring to Lee O'Nelll Browne, OF Ili-
nois.
Il recall a pleasant chat that l had
with him on an occasion when we
were discussing the herca fter. and dur
ing the course OF which he told me that
he believed the Bible from cover to
cover. such man will not stoop TO
SO low level as TO become n bribe-
taker or a brihe- glver"
This Is a childish argument A great
many wrong-doers have professed the
greatest reverence for the Bible. Says
the Washington Herald
1T il "A melancholy fact that numer-
Gus men who profess to believe the
Bible from cover TO cover ought To be
In the penitentiary and would be II
they got their dues. Satan believes
In the Bible-to hear Satan tell it,
whenever IL seems necessary in his I'M
mediate business Not only does Sa-
tan set up a stout claim to religious
orthodoxy now and then, but he Is re-
puted to be the very cleyerest OF the
clever I'm maintaining his pretentiOns
by literal and exact quotations from
the Gospels From Genesis to Revela-
ton Satan knows the Bible-backward
and forward If Satan's say-so were
an IL required To- convince Mr.. Lorimer
that Satan is an Immaculate paragon
OF virtue, Satan would not even bother
to cover his horns or tuck up his tail
while delivering to Mr.. Lorimer the
proof Of Satan's worthness and gem
eral high character."
1t Is a trulsm that II Is not belief in
the Bible but practlcing its teachings,
that saves from wrong doing and keeps
one in the straight and narrow path.
when a public man is reduced to such
arguments in self-defense, the case
must be desperate.

That the wreck Of the Maine will

who have given the subject close study
and have arrived at their conclusion
from the data at present obtalnable.
These. II may be said. are none too
complete or coPious. As far as the
estimates can be made the cost seems
almost prohibitiye, too great for even
the sentimental enthusiasm behind the
project. The statement of General
Marshall, chief of engineers, that FIVE
times the amount appropriated or ac-
tually half a million dollars, would
be necessary to raise the wreck Is now
seen, after further thought, TO be on
the conservative side. The difficulty
lies not so much in the depth OF water
thirty feet--as in the eighteen feet
of mud in which the shattered remains
of the noble ship lie. Anyone acquaint-
ed with the difficulties attending such
a task will understand that the chief
trouble viii arise in overcoming the
obstacle OF the mud in such way az

wreck As already stated In the Army
and Navy Journal. the building of a
Golfer dam around the wreck will
prove very costly undertaking.

similar view. He says:
