ftOOKLYy DAILY EAGLE MONPAY, OCTOBEB 26, 1896. HE A JtEOPENING OF BETHE LSHIP. MISCELLANEOUS. ETHICS OF THE HINDUS. Judgment, Is that they have carried their theories, Into the field of politics too far.

tho main statements In which ho fully agreed, he would make what seemed to him a necessary correction as to the philosophy, of Herbert Spencer. As a careful student of this philosophy, he saw no evidence that It had borrowed anything from the Vedanta. Mr. Spencer, as was well known, was not a university man. His philosophy owes little to that of Germany, in which we have the strongest evidence of Oriental Influences.

His studies of Kant and other German thinkers, and even of Berkeley, have evidently been mainly subsequent to the development of his own thought and have been Incidental to the defense of positions he had already taken. "I find," said Dr. Janes, "no references to Sir William Jones excopt In his sociology and with reference to the social habits of the Indian races. Up to a certain point there is undoubtedly a remarkable similarity between the two philosophies. Both recognize the processes of evolution and of possible involution or devolution In the relative world, and both recognize in and behind thn relative an Absolute which is the source and ground of all existence, and tha true philosophical basis of the religious sentiment.

This concurrence is only the more remarkable from the fact that the Hindu sages derived their ideas mainly by introspection, while Mr. Spencer came to his conclusions mainly by tho objective study of physical and mental phenomena. As to the possibility of obtaining a djrect knowledge of the absolute through experience, or of conscious identity with it. Mr. Spencer docs not dogmatize.

His philosophy Is a synthesis of conclusions derived from scientific study of relative conditions, and it goes no further than conclusions would warrant. To the Vedantist this probably appears as a defect; to the scientist it seems a virtue."

Among the many who denounced Bryan and his cause yesterday were the Revs. Dr. Meredith, McArthur, Peters and Dlxon. Dr. McArthur made a new and novel contribution to campaign literature In the following alarming words: "It is absolutely necessary that our church should take an active Interest In this campaign.

The fact Is, much of tho success of our missionary work abroad depends on tho triumph of American honor at the polls on November 3. If Bryan Is elected our missionary work will be cut In half. "How could our missionaries In China or Japan stand up and preach a gospel of honesty when their government had been guilty of dishonestly repudiating Its debts? We took up collections for missionary 'work this morning. A number of people promised $100 If there was no stain of dishonor on the flag on November 4. If Bryan was elected they would give but one half of that." So It seems that even the poor benighted heathen must have gold Instead of silver.

The Church 1b evidently very much in evidence in this campaign. Yesterday Bryan attended church in Jacksonville, 111., with his wife, and a New York sound money newspaper correspondent telegraphs the annexed concerning the incident: "After breakfast Mr. Bryan received a few of his old friends. Then he went to the State street Presbyterian church with his wife. There was a great crowd in the street in front of the church.

A hundred or more youths, wearing yellow ribbons, raised a cheer for Mc Klnley as they entered the door. All the carriages in the street were adorned with yellow ribbons. Many of the congregation wore party colorB, and two of the ushers had yellow chrysanthemums in their buttonholes. The spirit of the party ran high in the church." The chastening influences a chrysanthemum and yellow ribbon display, accompanied by cheers for McKlnley as Bryan entered the church, are not to be underestimated. They may have brought the free silver candidate to a penitential mood.

"The spirit of the party ran high In church;" It is gratifying to note, however, that Bryan was not hissed in church, nor was McKlnley cheered. If Major MdKlnley Is elected by the phenomenally large majorities which are pre dicted, the church may Justly be said to have been largely responsible for the result; it has taken a more active part in this campaign than it did when James G. Blaine was a candidate. Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Newman, Bishop "Worthlngton and other church dignitaries of national reputation have led the assaults on Byranism; a mighty host of earnest ministers have followed. The result Is that In the last week of the campaign Mr.

Hanna is positive that Major will be carried to the presidency on a political and moral tidal wave. Mr. Hanne. is no doubt profoundly grateful to the ministers for their unsolicited and spontaneous co operation in the wofk of stamping out Byranlsm. They have worked without money and without price.

The disheartened free silver men ihave turned anxious eyas in the direction of the pulpits, hoping to find a Buxchard. At last they claim to have found one; they say that Bishop Worthington of Omaha, is the The bishop was in New York last week, attending a meeting of the house of bishops of the Episcopal church. In a New York morn ing paper the bishop reported to have Eald to an interviewer: "The trouble 'with the farmer, in my judgment, is that we have carried our free educa tftnal system entirely too far. Of course, I know that this view will be considered as a bit of heresy, but still I believe it. "The farmers' sons a great many of them wp have absolutely no ability to rise, get a.

taste of education and follow it up. They will never amount to anything that is, many of them and they become dissatisfied to fol low In the walk of life that God intended they should, and drift Into the cities. It is the over education of those who are not qualified to receive It that fills our cities, while the farms lie idle.

Washington, D. October 26 The expert commission which was appointed by direction of congress to visit the seal Islands and make scientific inquiry into the condition of the seal herds of the North Pacific and Bearing sea, has returned to this country, and their report is new nearly complete, awaiting only soma figures showing the catch of pelagic sealers this past season. The United States commissioners, Messrs. Jordan, Lucas and Stejneger, were accompanied by a British commission, composed of Messrs. D'Arcy, Thompson aad Macconn, but while these men pursued their inquiries In company and frequently compared notes, the two commissions will make independent reports to their respective governments, and there oan be no Joint action.

On one point of the utmost importance tho United States and British commissioners appear to be In agreement, namely, that without reference to the causes which have brought the seal herds to their present alarmingly depleted condition, the further operations of pelagic sealers will prove disastrous and threaten the extermination of the seals. This Is a most important concession on the part or the British, as in the correspondence which led up to the reference of the question to these expert commissioners Lord Salisbury's contention has been that the seal pirates inflicted little or no damage upon the herds compared with the losses sustained through the annual killing of seals on the Prlbylov islands by the North American Seal company. It Is true that tho Canadian and Brttlsh experts were inclined to the belief that the present condition of the herds was in a large measure chargeable to the operations of the seal company In 1889 and prior years, when they were permitted to kill as many as 100,000 seals annually on the Islands. As the commissions will report independently, the nature of the remedy to be recommended cannot be known yet. The American commissioners would favor a total suspension of pelagic sealing.

If possible, and while it is hardly probable that the British would be willing to concede this much, it is believed that they may be disposed to recommend further restrictions upon pelagic sealing, either by extending the boundaries of the closed zone, lengthening the close season, or both, perhaps. The Russian and Japanese government, having seals of their own to protect, are Interesting themselves on our side of the case. The commissions visited the Russian commander islands, as well as the Japanese islands, In the pursuit of their inquiry. A Russian representative is already in tho United States to follow up the matter, and, with the active co operation of these governments in our interest, it is hoped tnat tha British will be disposed to consent to further restrictive measures, particularly as the time is now ripe, owing to the almost total failure of the pelagic sealers to malte paying catches the past summer. MR.

CLARK'S RECOVERY. The Lee Avenue Pastor to Be in His Pulpit Next Sunaay. The Rev. John Brlttan Clark, pastor of the Lee avenue Congregational church, has sufficiently recovered from the severe injuries he sustained In the early part oi tho summer by a fail from his bicycle, to be able to be with his congregation again for the first time, next Sunday. The Rev.

Dr. Dana, who has occupied the pulpit, temporarily since the summer vacation, announced at yesterday morning's service that Mr. Clark would conduct the communion service next Sunday morning, but. acting under the advice of his physician, would not be able to take part in the reception that was to be tendered to him next Wednesday evening in honor of his renewed health. The recovery of Mr.

Clark Is hailed with, joy by his congregation, who thought that the accident would cost him his life. His skull was fractured by the accident which occurred in the early part of the summer, while he was riding in New Jersey. He was removed to the home of hjs brother, on Greene avenue, where he remained for two weeks. When well enough he was taken to his summer home at Nantucket, where ho speedily recovered. His congregation now anxiously awaits his coming next Sunday, when they will be prepared to give him hearty and cordial welcome.

COMPLIMENTS EXCHANGED. Ootober 22, 1898. Hon. William C. RedfleM: My tr sir I am not in your district and con have no personal crrievani'e in what I say.

lut it occurs to m. that you are making: a Striae mistake in the way you to be running ranvass. You seem to be flphtlnpr Mr. Hurley far more than Mr. Clancy and seeking draw enough votes from tiie former to elect the latter.

In fact I hoard a member of your church say recently (and mind you he has nut always voted the Republican ticket), that jmu "could pray lllta a saint, but that you were acting like the devil." Now If that Is the sentiment that prevails among your personal friends and fellow church members, how much more may it exiyt where your reputation is that of a Christian grentleman, but who will wolKh the fact th dt you are making more of a tlpht against a man who Is jus as sound on tha currency as you are yourself will they not inevitably say ym are maklntr the canvass on false pretenses. It seems to mo as thouprh you are maklnf a very srreat. r.s as a very trr mistake. Very truly. GEORGE A.

PRICE. October 20, 1596. General George A. Price. Brooklyn: Sir Your letter dated 22d inst.

Is received. Your opinions are always of Interest, though not necessarily of value. Whatever seems to you so any statement that I am "lighting Mr. Hurley far more than Mr. Clancy and seeking: to draw enough votes from the former to elect the latter" is absolutely untrue.

There is abundant evidence to the contrary had you sought it. I shall be pleased to produce It to any courteous inquirer. The church member you mention should have luul more knowledge, less partisanship. He seema peculiarly familiar with satantc methods. It seems to be my fortune to huve missiles and howls from one side in this campaign und lies from the other.

Neither affect me much. Yours truly, WILUAM C. HEDFIEL.D. IN HONOR OF MISS BOHLEN. On Thursday evening.

These ministers, who have absolutely no sound political judgment, get a taste of politics and follow It up. Thoy will never amount to anything that Is, many of thorn and thoy bficomn rllflflAtlRflasI tr follow In tho wnllrn nf life that God or their parents Intended they should, and drift Into politics and sensationalism. It Is tho under political education of those who are not qualified to act as political educators that fills many pulpits, while large rows of their pews are vacant." The unbiased reader will admit that thero is some Justification for this paraphrase of Bishop Worthington's remarks when he finds tho Rev. A. C.

Dlxon declaring from his pulpit: "John Y. McKane ought to be pardoned. Thero are worse men out of the penitentiary to day. There are some officials In Brooklyn to day who Bhould take McKane's place. The difference is that poor McKane did not have behind him the organized liquor traffic." The dive keepers of Coney Island, tho keepers of brothels which flourished on the west end during McKane's administration, tho organized liquor traffic of the Island, which stood stolidly at his back whenever ballot boxes were to be stuffed or brutalities to bo Inflicted on his opponents, will all say "Amen" to the Rev.

Mr. Dixon's benediction on the greatest political criminal since Tweed's days. "Poor McKane!" Poor Mr. Dlxon. MUL.

TRIO OF WOMEN READERS Who Will Interpret Standard Authors for Institute Audiences. Tho members of the Brooklyn institute and their friends will have a good opportunity this season to compare the merits of three women readers with those of the favorites who have entertained them In years past. It has been the tradition at the institute that male elocutionists are usually most pleasing to the members; therefore, the experiment will be watched with Interest. Judging from MRS. WALDO RICHARDS.

the high reputation and abilities of Mr3. Del lenbaugh, Mrs. Richards and Miss Alexander, it 'will prove an unqualified success. The feminine hand is apparent in the list of selections 'w'hlch these young women have determined to essay. To be sure, there is a dash of Shakspeare aad two solid evenings with Dickens and Browning, but for the rest we have suc'h fin de siecle names as Anthony Hope and Ian Maclaren and Ruth McEnery Stuart, to say nothing of our old friends, En gene Field and James Whitcomb Riley.

The course will open on Saturday evening, November 14, with "An Evening With Charles Dickens," by Mrs. Harriet Otis Delienbaug'h of New York. Mrs. Dellenbaugh's personality and artistic career are well known to the membership of the Brooklyn institute. Mrs.

Waldo Richards is a Bc sronUan and MRS. HARRIET OTIS DELLENBAUGH. perhaps the best exponent of the newer school of Western poets. Certainly, she has a sympathy with the feeling of James Whitcomb Riloy and Eugene Field's best work, that is subtle and keen. She will recite selections from both poets and from Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Miss Jessie Alexander has never before appeared in Association hall, but sho is a great favorite in Canada, where she has traveled as far as Manitoba, meeting everywhere with the most flattering reception. Her Scotch ancestry makes her partial to Scotch pieces, whereof s'ho has a wide, repertoire. Others of her favorite authors are Shakspeare, Dickens, Charles Klngsley and Anthony Hope. The dates of the readings are as follows: November 14, Mrs. Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh; November 21, Mrs.

Waldo Richards; Novem ber 28, Miss Jessie Alexander; December 5, Browning reading, Mrs. Dellenbaugh; December 12, Mrs. Waldo Richards; December 19, Miss Alexander. AT THE MOM AUK CLUB. Major Fox Entertains a Few of His Friends.

"The drawing power of tho Eagle as an advertising medium, "said Superintendent Henry Berger of Offerman's, "was never more evident than this morning, when customers began Hocking to the cloak and suit department as early as 8 o'clock lu response to tho page advertisement, with exclusive cuts, which appeared In yesterday's edition of the Eagle. Wo were very much pleased with the result, as tho crowd, which has steadily Increased, is a buying ono, and we feci tho rush is due In a great measure to confidence In the advertiser and tho medium. Tho hint as to furs has proven advantageous in that department, and, altogother, the result Is very gratifying and satisfactory."

How the Higher Ideas of Morality Were Developed in the Far Er.s: The Religion of the Vedanta A Swami Saradananda's lecture before the Brooklyn Ethical society last night, at tho Pouch mansion, was delivered before a large and appreciative audlonce. He took for his subject, "The Ethical Ideas of the Hindus." In the course of his remarks he said: Ho who has tried to penetrate the dim vistas of time in the history of India with a fair and candid heart must have been impressed with the wonderful Bystems of philosophy and ethics and religion which the Indian mind produced, even at a period when the rest of the world was sleeping in darknesB and Ignorance.

All along the way he sees signs of tho tidal wave of spirituality which from time to time covered the and, of mighty re ligious tornadoes which swept everything be fore them and of great religious upheavals which raised tho country higher and higher till lit reached the hlghost point of development in spirituality to which man has ever risen and prcba bly ever can rise in the prin ciples of the Vedanta, principles wide as the neavens and embracing all the uinerent re ligions which have come or will come In the future. Ruasou stands aghast at finding that all the dlfferem problems In religion and metaphysics with which If has been grappling for a solution through all these years have already been sojved by sturdy old minds and not only solved, but carried Into practice in dally life. It can scarcely credit that the theory of cosmic evolution and involution was propounded thousands of years before the Christian era; that the doctrine of Karma goe3 further in explaining the diversities of human life tnan the theory of heredity, ana that all religions are different ways leading to that One, call It God, or Absolute or Brahman. No one can rise to the highest stage of spirituality without being perfectly and absolutely pure and high In morals. Has Ood ever manifested Himself through an Impure channel? Never.

These founders were always men pure In thought, word and deed. They taught htat morality was the foundation of the spiritual building. Examining Into Buddhism the teach ings are divided into two main parts, one the the second the great way. The Vedanta insists upon man's being established In the "fourfold ways:" 1. The conviction that absolute truth is outside the pale of all phenomenal existence.

2. That the enjoyments of physical life are trifling. 3. The possession of six treasures: (a.) Control of mind; (b) control of body and the organs; (c.) the bearing of heat and cold, pleasure, pain, (d.) the gathering of the mind from external objects at will and directing it to the internal; (e.j, faith, and (f.) the concentration of the mind, and (4.) an intense desire to gain liberation by knowing the truth. According to the Hlndu3, a man is born with four duties, debts which every man owes to the circumstance of his birth, and which he must fulfill.

They are his debt to humanity, to the Rishis or seers of truth, to his forefathers and to the gods. In modern India a man's life is divided Into two stages, household life and monk life, Marriage is regarded as a very sacred bond, the name of a wife being sahadharmini, cr a partner in religion. The one great point of the teachings of Vedanta Is that man's spiritual evolution does not stop with a high code of ethics. He reaches a higher step gained not by denying, but fulfilling all the laws, not by throwing overboard all duties, but by their right performance. Vedanta teaches that perfect liberation Is attained only when the individual soul feels its Identity with the Deity.

This stage Is the stage of realization or the super conscious. All our struggles. Individual, social and human, are made to gain the higher stage. This Is Nirvana. The universe, according to Vedanta, is one Invisible whole, one vast ocean of matter.

Our bodies represent different points. Behind lies the ocean of mind and behind that is the self, the soul, the storehouse of all knowledge, power and bliss. There 1b but one soul shining above, but there are millions of reflections in the mental ocean below. With every act of love and sympathy every performance of duty, every observance of morality, man Is trying to go beyond himself, by feeling himself one with the universe. He who lives up to this truth has truly renounced himself.

He who knows not this truth, but tries to become a perfectly moral man, In thought, word and deed, is unconsciously living up to that truth. Renunciation is. the corner stone upon which all religion, all ethics have been built. Life and progress consist not In isolation and contraction, but In expansion. This is the teachings of the Vedanta.

The standards cf ethics in different countries and different religions vary in many particulars. What is regarded as moral in one country and one religion is not so regard ed In anotaer. The reason is that out cf the mental ocean is evolved the gross ocean of matter and the gross individual forms. So that as individual whirlpools in the ocean of mind and as grces manifestations we shall alwaya vary. But there is unity behind the diversity, there Is a center to all these radii.

Grasp and you grasp the whole thing. The law Is tly medhod at grasping mental phenomena. It must have taken ages for the Hindu fplnd to grasp this wonderful system of ethics. The date of its evolution is unknown, but it ik certain the Hindus discovered it and It has helped all the great religions of the world. It influenced Buddhism, the Greek philosophy, Zoroastrlanism and Christianity.

The great peculiarity of India is that the student of history finds that the Hindus never regarded anything as unnecessary or to be thrown away. They believe that man travels from truth to truth and not from error to truth. The early history of India before the advent of Buddhism may be divided into three great periods: 1. The earlier Vedic period before the Vedas were classified. 2.

The period of Ramayana, the age cf Rama and Va sietha. 3. The period of Maha Btiarata. the age of Krishna and Tho caste system was not regarded very rigorously, the best men were regarded as Brahmins and men from the lower ranks were continually coming up. The caste system arose frcm eoeiai conditions and had nothing to do with religion.

The real religion of the Vedanta was prac ticed by a few only, and those few left society and took to the forest life or the life of a monk, and the great mass of the people in society had become more ignorant and superstitious day by day, when the great Buddha, "the ocean of light and compassion," took his birth. He brought back the true Vedanta religion to tho people. Preachers began to teach that total annihilation was the meaning of Nirvana and the end of life; that there was no soul. The birth of Saukara then saved the country again from the bondage of vice and corruption. He is India's greatest philosopher.

One more Influence needs to be traced, that of Christianity. Those who believe that Christianity will supply India a higher system of ethics or a higher religion are mistaken. Indeed. The one great thing Christianity has done Is to revive free thought. Western education has helped progress by bringing back liberty of thought.

It was almost abolished. Trade competition Is breaking down caste. The bad thing Christians are trying to do Is to belittle and destroy the high ideals of the nation. Day by day it becomes evident that India will accept Christ as one among her many high Ideals, but will never becomo Christian by giving up her own. The Vedanta has survived and triumphed over all Invasions of the great religions existent, because it teaches the grand truth that all the different religions are true; they are so many different religions, all true; they are so many different ways to attain to that Infinite ocean of knowledge, existence and bliss.

The discussion of tho lecture was begun by J. J. Goodwin of England, who said that the truths which are the foundation of the Vedanta religion are also the basis of every other religion. It would not meet the ease of every man, though, nor would any other. He thought that some of tho philosophy of the East and especially of India is destined to find place in the thought of western nations.

The philosophy of Spencer, he thought, could not be doubted. Its main features are identical with tho Vedanta. The speaker declared he owed a great debt to the Vedanta withal; It has made ethics, morality, religion Itself something higher than mere faith, something more elevated than an unconscious tendency, but the real basis of the great life within. Dr. Lewis G.

Janes said that If he might bo permitted to add a word to Mr. Goodwin's very Interesting remarks on the Influence of the Vedanta upon our Western thought, with THE REV. P. B. STRONG ACCEPTS.

18. REPUDIATE FREE SILVER, Single Tax Advocates Who Do Not Want to Be Identified With the Movement for Bryan. As a result of the unwillingness on the part of sound money single taxers to be identified with free silver, which was mentioned in the press some weeks ago, the following docuiffSnt has Loen prepared and made public. The names appended were all received without any systematic canvassing, as there was not time to arrange for thiB after it had been decided to make the announcement: The uruIerMigntrd, who are Arm believers In the wisdom and necessity of a single tax upon land values, to the exclusion of all other forms of taxation, feel it to be their dutv. in view of the effort made In some Quarters to identify the single tax movement with the aemana ror iree coinage of silver, to protest against any such effort, whether made by friends of enemies of our cause, and briefly to state our own position.

We claim for ourselves no right of infallibility, nor do we question the honesty of purpose of thoso single tuxers wlthHhom we disagree upon this question. Ail that we ask of them is that they shall not attempt to identify the single tax movement in the public mind with the demand for free coinage of silver; while for ourselves v.e desire to make the public understand, that some of the most earnest advocates of the single tax are opposed to such demand and do not support the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. We particularly appreciate th care with which the founder or the movement, Henry George, has abstained from any form of expression which would spem to commit his single tax followers an mdorsempnt of his individual course in the present campaign, and we are glad to observe that not only he. but most of the other single taxers who have declared themselves as supporting Mr.

Bryan, have, at the same time, disclaimed all belief in free silver, basing their decision to give such support upon grounds entirely distinct from the currency question. We thoroughly sympathize with the motives that have led them this decision and gladly Join in ac.lon that raise, in logical terms, a protest agalnsT. the evil conditions which paternal Ism In government has brought upon us. But to us it is clear that the demand for free silver Is but another oT the off shoots of this paternalism wl th which our country has so long been cursed. Much as we may deplore the setting aside for moment of all Issues in which, as einerle taxers.

we are really Interested, we cannct disguise from ourselves that in this campaign there Is but one issue that of free silver; nor ca we delude ourselves with the idea that any gain can be made for the cause of the people by supporting Mr. Bryan, while denying th 3 monetary doctrine for which he stands and to which he has subordinated every otJher Issue. For, unless our conception of the single tax Is a misxaken one, it stands for a definite remedy, not for a blind discontent. The battle for the single tax has hitherto been one for more freedom, not for less, for less interference by a paternal government, not for more, and we should deny the fundamental principle which has inspired were we to aid in forcing upon the community by legal tender acts a coinage which it was unwilling to receive. The aim of the single taxers has been to remove the restrictions upon Industry that come of unwise and unjust taxation; we cannot consent to intensify the effects of these restrictions by helping to preeipltnte the Paralysis of Industry which must follow a financial panic.

And whlio we must therefore as single taxers reject a pnpof ed remedy which has nothing In common with th single tax, but is. Indeed, oppose! to its essential spirit, we are also unflinchingly opposed ro the public and private dishonesty that Is Involved In the rayment of dv'ot with the depreciated dollars that we believe would result ro free i 1 coinage at 30 to 1. We do not maintain that the single tax is, or ought to Ve, identified with the gold standard any more than with the silver standard, but we do hold that our cause cannot afford to bo aso with a proposal that must have dlshon.ft results with whatever honesty of purple It may be advocated.

MEETING OF THE FLETJR De LYS The Initial meeting of the Fleur de Lys took place at the home oZ Miss Harriette M.

Cor win, 65 EHc street, on Wednesday evening. The first part of the evening was devoted strictly to business anid an appropriate and sajtlsfactory constitution was drafted by tho members. The laitter part of the evening was given up to social pleasures. Mr. Charles Herrmann was elccrbed president and Miss Ida Hfnes secretary treiais'urer.

The club will meet cm every other Wednesday evening. mcKintcy vs. Bryan vs. Palmer "A little nonsense now and then Is relished by tb wisest men." has boen qnoted timos without number and In relation to various subjects, but here It la bronebt to your attention only to prove that when you ur.e referrinc to Job Printing, anything from tho daintiest ivory cards tor tho ladles' use in visiting, to the puudorous and varl colorodpoators nud adver titling noveltios, there is no nonsense about the class of work that Is hmiod out of tho Hook axo Jon PniNTiNo Okkick. Now that the political game of "How to catch and hold "em" is EUide well under way It Ibehoovos th frionds of tho various candidates to show where thoy are standing.

Tho Eaolk Book and Jon Printing Office la fully equipped with all that 13 necessary for Cam Printing, r.areo and llfo like cuts of all tho 11:. candidates hnvo bon specially oncravod and. with an as.iortmout of poster typo itisurpaiHod in tho domain of Gveutor Now York and workmen who are specialists lti tho various doparrments, wa aro prepared, to slvo bettor satisfaction at prices ai low as con be found any whro in th metropolitan sic, but they learn to pkiy drift to the cities and go into the millinery and other stores." Bryan has seized upon this alleged utterance as a drowning man grasps at a straw. One of the correspondents accompanying him, says: "Bryan thinks this utterance of the bishop will prove more deadly to McKlnley than Dr. Burchard's sneer at Rum, Romanism and Rebellion proved to Blaine.

The signal has been given and the free silver orators throughout the country will lash the prejudices of the farmers on this line up to election day." This Is interesting, simply as a piece of political news. Here is a sample speech which shows hew Bryan Is endeavoring to profit by the alleged remarks of Bishop Worthington: "I hope that It may prove that these words were not uttered by Bishop Worthington, because I hate to think that any man who has the love of God in his heart ever used words like those that I have read. "To talk of the over education of our farmers sons and to attribute the difficulties which surround us to day to over education is, in my mind, one of the most cruel things that a man ever uttered. My friends, do you know what that language means? It means a reversal of tho proofs of civilization and a march toward the dark ages again. "Are we to select a commission to go around and pick out the ones that are to be educated? Ah, my friends, there is another reason why the people have gone into the cities and left the farms.

It Is because your legislation has been causing the foreclosure of mortgages on the farmers and the farms. It is because the non producing classes have been framing the laws and making it more profitable to gamble in the farm products that it Is to produce them." I am still of the opinion expressed In this column Borne days ago that Major McKlnley has more to fear from the indiscreet statements of some of his supporters than from the violent assaults of free sliver orators. Bishop Worthington's remarks can do no serious harm to tho cause of sound money in this state, but he has. If correctly reported, furnished the demagogues of tho West with a dangerous theme for discussion. If ever education is dangerous to the sons of farmers, tho conclusion may bo carried further, and applied to the sons of workingmen.

Of course. Major McKlnley Is not In sympathy with this sentiment. The Republican campaign is mainly one of education, and directly in conflict with tho views expressed by Bishop Worthington. Major McKlnley, General Garfield and Abraham Lincoln came from tho farm. Tho Republican party has invariably mado its strongest appeals to tho farmers.

In tho light of the remarks attributed to Bishop Worthington, a student of politics might feel Justified In paraphrasing his utterances, so that they may read: "The trouble with some ministers, in my.
