Won Hate and Love.

Beecher's audience was the most
cosmopolitan of any church OF his
day. He did more to make theology
face the facts of life and of truth
than any man of his generation, And
for his work In this line he reaped the
hatred of all the blgots. Because he
dared to part company with the old
theology-that theology that then or
now makes God to be a despot, and
man a puppet; for daring to depart
from all such thinking. Mr.. Beecher
incurred the hatred OF the orthodox
party. But he won the love OF all
who think in larger terms, and
through all the years to come. when
men review tho part played by men
OF honest brains and brave heart,

scholar and prophet-Henry Ward
DR.. Goshen told OF the stand taken b,
Beecher from 1910 to 1865, when north
ern merchants in 1850 were SO afraid OF
the south that they were against any
church that preached liberty for the col.
ored man. He spoke Of the mobbing OF
advocates and abolitionists, OF
of the murder of L-ovejoy in Illinois and
building OF second class cars, "Jim Crow
cars for colored passengers; then OF how
Beecher asked colored men to sit on his
meeting the "Jm Crow car "in equity
by the refuge of the greatest pulpit the
world possessed"

great work done by Beecher in England
where sympathy was turning to the cause

Beecher's life he said In part.

100. 900 fornia railroad grant is
attracting wide atten-
ton. It is pointed out by the New
York World that the decision if up
held will mean that enough land will
be thrown open in Oregon to sustain
100. 900 new population.
Commenting on the subject of land
grants in general the World says:
Congress has been recklessly gem
-erous with railway land grants. Up
To 1892 it had given away more than
$4,000, 900 acres to projected railways,
at the average ratio Of $500 acres a
mile. This ratio means every alternate
section in a strip fifteen miles wide
on each side Of every land-grant rail-
road. The land so granted-an area
larger than all England and Scotland
is now worth many times the origi-
nal cost Of the roads, which did not
exceed $4,000 a mile. Yet the con-
struction of the five Pacific railroads
especially was thought so necessary to
national development that, besides
their golden sections of rich land
congress gave them $64,000,0OO in
United States bonds.
Yet II, when the great plains were
bare of towns and men, congress gave
railroads gifts that now seem absurdly
lavish. the courts have shown no hest
tation in forfeiting TO the government
lands which the railroads failed TO
early by carrying out their contracts
with the people. Probably the single
forfeiture now ordered, which is said
20 be worth from $50. 100000 to s6o'-
