ITS THIRTY-THIRD YEAR

axmvchsaiiv of ciuiuiax (ic.xkhal orphans iiomi:. A Large Crowd Present Durltiur the Day Adrtrews hy V. J. Reinhard The Programme. The thirty-third anniversary cf the Ger man General Orphans' Home, on South State avenue, was observed yesterday with an appropriate programme and demonstration befitting the occasion. The appreciation of the Institution was marked by the large number of visitors, who began to arrive early and continued coming until late In the afternoon. It is estimated that the crowd, as it came and went, was not less than 10.O. The programme being an all-day affair. dinner and supper were served in the din ing hall of the homo for the benefit of the institution, and many remained at the grounds and In the buildings until after dark. The heat of the day prevented an early attendance, to an extent, so that the crowd was not at its largest until about i o'clock. Not until then was the first perceptible break made for the street cars to return home, but the vanacies were at once filled by late arrivals. The grounds were thickly peopled in every quarter, and the several refreshment stands did a big business all day long. While the programme ias not being carried out, the Union Band furnished music from the band stand. It played principally Germain airs, frequently indulging In toft melodies that recalled sweet memories to couples whose locks have grown silvery in this foreign clime, and carrying them back to the home and trysting places of their youth. An excursion from Louisville brought a big delegation of Germans and a chorus of twenty picked from the Orphans' Home of that city. Cincinnati and other places were also represented, but Marion county -furnished the bulk of the crowd. The morning programme began at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. J. C. Peters invoking the blessing, followed by a song by the congregation. Rev." F. Kalbfleisch read from the Bible, the children of the home sang a song and Rev. W.. B. Wittenberg delivered the sermon. Rev. Peters also spoke. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the Union Band began the programme with a selection, ana Mayor Taggart delivered an address of welcome, lie spoke of the good of the institution, the noble work it is doing and said It was deserving of all support that could be given. The children of the home and also the choral from Louisville sang during the afternoon. F. J. Reinhard' Address. F. J. Reinhard delivered the address of the afternoon. It was in German. In part he said: "What better evidence of the generosity of the German citizens of Indianapolis could be desired than this successful celebration. Thirty-three years ago several German citizens, imbued with the spirit of charity, oragnlzed this Orphans' Home. Its history iii known to you through the annual reports of its board of directors, and for that season it is not necessary for me to go into its details; and In my address I shall confine myself exclusively to its objects. "The State of Indiana has accomplished a great deal through her benevolent institutions; but, notwithstanding this there would be a great deal of woe and misery were it' not for individual charity. It requires everything that the State, the church, the benevolent orders, all institutions like this, all Individual charity can do to counteract crime and temptation, and to ameliorate the sorrows and sufferings that surround us on every hand. We erect palatial , public buildings, magnificent halls and towering monuments, and behold them with admiration. They show the prosperity and culture of the community, but will not save one child from ruin and destruction. There is no nobler object than the care of parentless and deserted children. The devotion and sacrifices which are offered dally for benevolent institutions are laudable and praiseworthy, and accomplish a great deal to sweeten the bitter cup of sorrow In this world; but of all institutions devoted to benevolence there is none that serves a higher, a nobler and a holler purpose than the support, maintenance and education of orphans. "There are establishments like this where little ones, bereft of a parent's love and care, are taught to feel that they are not wholly deserted; that they are not wholly barred from the world's sympathy; that helping hands and loving hearts are ready to protect and to guide them until they are strong enough to take up the battle of life. Then, when these children have matured to manhood or womanhood, they will think kindlier of the world; they will love their country and its institutions better: they will become worthier citizens and will strengthen society and government. REARING CHILDREN. "The paramount and holiest duty of parents Is to rear their children so as to become honorable and useful citizens; and the greatest reward parents can obtain is to realize that their efforts were not in vain; that their children are held in esteem, and are respected and valued citizens in tha community In which they reside. "But what about children, who, in tender years loose their parents? Shall they be left to the cold charity of the world and tight the battles of life alone, without help, without consel. without a loving and guiding hand, without a Christian education? These innocent little ones who look as confidingly into the future and cling as helplessly to a mother's hand as your little ones who sat around your table to-day; these helpless orphans who did not feel the bitter sorrow as they followed their father to his final resting place; these little ones who cry and call for their mother who will never return. Shall these frail barks be cast adrift on the temptestuous sea of life, and be wrecked on the destructive cliffs of ruin? Is there no brave pilot who will guide this bark Into a safe haven? For such helpless ones this home is erected, and the assurance that parents have that after their demise the care and maintenance and education of their children will rest in safe and loving hands, robs death of Its sharpest sting. "At the dawn of the Christian era, when the divine Teacher dwelt upon earth and taught as no man ever taught before. He gave us a beautiful picture, sublime lesson of helping children. We are told that his disciples rebuked the people that had gathered about to hear Him for bringing their Infants to Him that He might but touch them. I can Imagine how He sat there in their midst with a little Innocent child in His tender arms; His eyes full of infinite love; His heart going out In sympathy for Its helplessness, saying in sweet and toft cadences: 'Suffer little children to come unto me. and forbid them not; for of such Is the kingdom of God.' THE ORPHAN ASYLUM. "The orphan asylum, the home, the refuge and security, the very name of this institution declares Its object and is a sermon in itself. There is nothing more helpless than a little child, wholly Incapable to obtain Its least necessities. Its very helplessness compels our attention. Whoever can look upon an orphan without sympathy in turn deserves our commiseration for his heartlessness. "To rear these children so as to become good and useful citizens is the object of this organization. In addition to the English language, the language of our country in which all pupils receive a thorough education, they are also tausht the German language, and it is the object of the management to make all of its children good and useful American citizens, citizens who in love for our country and its institutions are to be second to none. "The teachings inculated into the minds of these little ones are akin to the advice given me in my boyhood days by a noble and brilliant woman, when she wrote: " 'Wouldst thou be happy youthful friend Cling firmly then to truth; That manhood, fair and glorious, May crown thy fleeting youth. Scorn all that's low. dissemble never; Be brave and strong in high endeavor.' "Now. my friends, can the patrons of this Institution expect anything greater? It Is difficult to describe the vastness of the undertaking of this establishment. Not only are thee helpless orphans protected and cared for, but they are guided and

educated until, under the protection of the Almighty, the Heavenly Father of all. the community receives a man or a woman, who. let us hops, will be an honor to this institution; a citizen who will be an honor to society, one on whom our country can depend, one who will defend the government and its institutions. "Let us bear this in mind, my friends; let us, who came here to encourage and support these unselfish men and women who are devoted to this work of charity, not forget that soon, perhaps in a few years, they, too, will have to give up their work: that their work will have to be continued and enlarged by younger and stronger hands, and let us hope, and may God grant, with as much success as In the past." The receipts for the day amounted to $1.039.37. Of this amount. $1.2T3.OT came from the men's society and 5C65.3S from the women's society. In addition to this money donations amounting to iZöQ or $300 were received.

CLASSES ARE ORDAINED SERVICES AT THE FIRST GER3IAN METHODIST CHURCH Bishop Enrl Cranston the Presiding Officer Class of Deneonessea The Day's Programme Notwithstanding the Intense heat, the First German Methodist Church was filled yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the ordination of classes of deacons, elders and deaconesses. The front of the church was elaborately decorated with an abundance of palms and ferns. Excellent music was furnished by the regular choir of the church, assisted by members of the Maennerchor Society and several orchestral instruments. Bishop Earl Cranston presided and talked briefly on the duties of deacons and elders. He read portions of the first three chapters of Paul's epistle to the Corinthians as a basis for his remarks. The bishop spoke plainly and urged the utmost care in the examination credentials carried by traveling preachers and evangelists. He said that he had encountered many such Itinerants, who were of bad character, some of them being social outcasts In the places from which they started. The bishop also "spoke hl3 mind" against preachers of the type "who announce their sermons In advance from week to week In order to draw a curious crowd." He said that the Lord Jesus Christ should be exalted, not His ministers. "Brothers, we have strayed away from the apostolic fashion," said the bishop, "and we need to study again the pattern of the men who leirned directly from Christ. The man should be thrust Into the background and the Lord who calls him to preach should be pushed forward." IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES. ' The ordination ceremonies were simple, but very impressive. Bishop Cranston was assisted in this portion of the service by the Rev. Schaal, Horst, Lieh and Kern, presiding elders of the German Methodist Church. After the candidates had been Interrogated as to their belief in the -Bible, their devotion to the cause of Christ and the church, they were ordained by the laying on of hands and consecration. The applicants for ordination as deacons were Otto Giesen, Theodore Rudln and Harvey A. Severlnghaus. The class of elders which was ordained was composed of Henry Bank. Gustav Maag. Henry Schaedel and Timothy A. Speckman. A deacon is empowered simply to marry, baptize and assist in the administration of the Holy Communion. An elder, however, has authority to consecrate the elements of the Holy Sacrament, besides all of the other functions of the ministerial office. To become a deacon a man must pursue a certain prescribed course of study for two years, after which he is examined and elected by the conference. To become an elder he is required to take up another course of study and travel about as a preacher for two years, after which he is ordained by the conference. After the ordination of deacons and el ders. Sister Louisa Golder, superintendent of the Mothers' House, at Cincinnati, was presented, and addressed the congregation on the subject of the work of the home and Its needs. The services concluded witn the ordination and consecration of a class of deaconesses, composed of Ella Schella, Louisa Klugel and Johanna Schlndowsky. NOT BOUND FOR LIFE. Deaconesses are consecrated for service only so long as they care to 6erve. and are not bound for life, as In the case of elders. The duties of a deaconess are manifold. among them being to visit and minister to the poor and sick and to act as nurses. Many of them perform their labors in connection with the Mothers Home in Cincinnati, which conducts a general hospital. The hospital building is not large, but Is equipped with all the appliances and conveniences for nursing the sick, and has a capacity for caring comfortably for thirty patients. The uetnesaa society is also a form of deaconess work. It receives annual dues of a dollar from each member, and with the fund thus created ac complishes much good. Mrs. Golder, who occupies a position or prominence in the work, says that the greatest difficulty encountered is the scarcity of workers, and not scarcity of money. There was a love feast in the First Church, yesterday morning, conducted by Rev. H. Pullman, of Berea, O., and preaching by BlshoD Earl Cranston. Last night the Rev. C. C. Golder, of Cincinnati, associate editor of the Christian Apologist, delivered an address on the "Twentieth Century Forward Movement." Dr. Golder talked also of the Twentieth Century thank offering, and of the com mission appointed by the general conference. Bishop Thoburn, president, and W. W. Cooper, of Chicago, corresponding sec retary. German Methodist pulpits were filled by visitors yesterday. To-day the conference will dispose of all unfinished business and adjourn. Some time during the day the list of pastoral appointments will be promulgated by the bishop. A Queer Invitation. A great many residents of Indianapolis are enjoying quiet laughs over printed In vitations which they have received from a visiting clergyman. The humorous portion of the Invitation Is a single line at the very cutset wnicn reads: "lou are cordially in vited to take dinner (50c) with," after which is set forth the name of the sender of the "cordial ' Invitation and the hotel at which he is stopping.

POST-VACATION SERMON

REV. -WILLIAM A. QUAYLE AT 3ICII I D I A X-STIt E ET CHURCH He Talked of tbe "Mountuina, the Sea nnd the Msht" At the First Baptist Church Other Services Rev. Dr. William A. Quayle, who has been spending his annual vacation at "Epworth on the Lake," a beautiful summer resort about two hundred miles up Lake Michigan, has returned to the city, and occupied his pulpit in the Meridianstreet Methodist Church yesterday morning: and evening. Dri, Quayle was welcomed by two unusually large congregations for such a warm day. A special musical programme was given during last right's service, the main feature of whlca were a contralto solo by Mrs. Walter Fugate, and a quartet, "As the Heart Fant eth." led by Miss Lillian Adam. Dr. Quayle talked upon the subject of "Familiarity with Mountains, the Sea and the Night." For his text he selected the forty-sixth and forty-eighth verses of the fclxth chapter of the gospel according to Mark: "And when He had sent them away, He departed Into a mountain to pray." "And about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea." The minister said In part: "I want to talk to you a little this Sunday night about three things that Jesus loved. He loved the mountains and the soa and the night and I have read in your hearing how He sent the multitude away and went up into a mountain, and I have also read in your hearing how later In the night He walked out on the sea to the disciples. I Infer your nature from my own, and by such Inference I Infer that you are all concerned In what the great spirits of the world love. What are the familiars of the beat lives? What books, what places, what persons do the great men and women of the world love? We all want to know that." Dr. Quayle then referred to many of the prominent characters of history and talked entertainingly of the places and things they loved. He continued: WHAT HE LOVED. "Well, I reckon therefore you want to know what Jesus loved, where He found peace, where He found delusions slip away as the "mists slip away when the winds blow mightily upon them. I would go any place Jesus would go; I would feel at home any place Jesus had gone, because where I could find His tracks I would find my soul glad to follow. Jesus loved the mountains, the sea and the night. What a great spirit loves you and I can dare to learn to love. If great men love poetry you and I might well try to learn to like It. If great men love philosophy we might well try to like It. You will find Jesus all His long life going to the mountains to get rest. Have you ever traveled in Vermont? Is there a Vermonter here? If there is, I know you. If you had your choice of spending three months in Heaven or three months in Vermont, you would choose Vermont. And I don't blame you. much. I have never spent three months in heaven, but I have in Vermont. 1 Why did you come to such a flat place as Indianapolis, where the only hill you will ever find is the one in which you will be burled? I know people who, when June comes, get so homesick for the tosslngs of the pines and the odor of them and the uplifting of the hills where they are fostered, that they are like homesick wives far away from their husbands, or homesick husbands away from their wives. So. when Jesus longed to get away from his care, his weary life, yearned to get where It was quiet. He bade His crowds good-bye and went out to the mountains. He went ort 'a'Ttttmntaln to be transfigured; He went on to a mountain to be crucified. Oh, this man Jesus Christ loved the mountains. They answered to His spirit. I suppose Jesus loved the mountains because they are oGd'a visible and tangible aspirations. It is a great thing to be on top of a mountain and see tne woria Derore you. A BIG CIRCUMSTANCE. 4,I tell you the trouble with us folks In Indianapolis and In other cities In the world is we think the street where we live and the street where we carry on our trade is the biggest circumstance In the world. It is a great thing to get way above where we can't hear the rumble of the train of which we are the conductor and we can't see the sign that Is over our door, get above the world where all we can hear is the thunder rattling among the crags. It Is a good thing to fellowship with the mountain altitudes. Beloved, the mountains will give you a legitimate estimate of yourself. They will teach your aspiration to climb, they will teach you the true dignity and worth, or worthlessness as the case may be, of the place where the plow thrusts itself and where the engine thrusts its nozzle and where commerce climbs and sweats. "Jesus loved the sea. I suppose people love the sea primarily because it has no visible shores. It is a good thing to get out on shoreless quantity. Jesus haunted the sea, he preached beside it, he healed beside it. he listened to its music by night, he walked out upon it one night. Do you wonder that Jesus loved the sea? It is the greatest expression of power dominant and prevalent In the world. There are not many kinds of music that are so enchanting and so unutterably sweet as the music of the waters all night long and all day long. It is an organist that never grows tired, it Is a symphony that never dulls slumber for a moment. Sometimes it sings songs like women sing to children to get them to sleep; sometimes it Is thundering like the apocalypse of a mighty army, but always imposing, always magnificent, always a revelation , of power and Jesus loved It. One of the things we are needing in our life is to get where the horizons are a good way off. Farmers do not take many holidays. They do not so much" need them. Why not? Are they not hardworking people? They are, but they have got God's holiday all the while. We folks in town have to get away from town to get breathing room. GREAT BREATHING ROOM. "The ocean is God's great breathing foom for the spirit and Jesus Christ loved it. "We can't all go to the mountains, we can't all go to the sea, but can all of us go out in the night. Jesus often climbed somewhere where He could see the stars rise and set. I sometimes think that Jesus who made the constellations loved to look at them. He found them beautiful. He loved the great shoreless night, the wonoerful, infinite night. Tou can't be little If you go and be neighborly with the night. I don't say you can't be little and be In the right. Some people can be little anywhere. What I say is that if you will be neighborly with the night, if you will enter into its moods and tenses, if you will let thrills of endless spaces enter, into your spirit you will not be the thing you were. We folks tulk too much and sit still too little. Go out In the night and be still with the stars and be quiet with . the sky. Let the far tpaces that run back to the remotest stars peak to you. If we have not the mountains and have not the sea. I hold it to be one of the great compassions of the Divine life that He has put the skies above everybody's house and He has put the stars nigh everybody's window and the pick child can lie propped in his bed night in and night out and the stars may pass his window and the Pleiades blow kisses through the window to him. and if you want you can enter into the majestic fraternity of the stars in far off spaces. Jesu vhen He was in the mountains prayed, and when He was by the ?ea He prayed, and v hen He was in the night prayed. In other ords, the mountains and the sea and the night will lead a devout spirit to God. It !ü a good thing to be with Christ anywhere in the mountains with Him, on the sea with Him. in the night under the stars with Him. The lesson of the hour la that these great moods of Nature are the things with which a great soul ought to be familiar. Let everything that God uses lead us to prayer. Let Ills presence In them

tenctlfy them. May God's Christ lead us Into blessed fellowship with every true and noble and beautiful thing." CHRISTIAN EXIERIE.CE.

The Four Thing; Xcedfnl Set Oat by Rev. T. J. Vlllers. Rev. Thomas J. Villers, of the First Baptist Church, used for his subject last nigh., "The Four Things Needful in Christian Experience." These things he' designated in four words admit, submit, commit and transmit. To develop a Christian character, he said, it was first necessary to admit that Christ is the. son of God and that in belief in Him only is there salvation. This was the first step, and then it Is necessary to submit. Submission to the divine rule, the guidance of the omnipotent hand and the law laid down In th Scriptures, accepted as true teachings of the Master In humbleness and faith 'a needful to strengthen a Christian life, said. The third essential element that goes to make ud a Christian life is to commit one's self to God and-place himself under His protection and guidance, to act at His direction without hesitation. The last, and fourth, transmit, he said, Is" as essential as any of the other three. The blessings received by fulfilling the three foregoing requirements should be transmitted to others in order that they may also reap beneflt from our knowledge. "If you have any influence," Itev. Vlllers said, "let It go out to others. If you have money share it with the needy. . If you have influence and money do all the good you can with both. Money should be divided according to your means, and those who have not money may have influence. Transmit that influence where it will help some poor unfortunate and lead him to follow a better life. Use your strength to advantage and improve every opportunity to help your neighbor by deed, example and power. Transmit God's blessings and you will yourselves be blessed." A Good Year's Work. Secretary Wagner of the First Baptist Church has prepared the ' church letter to' be presented to the Baptist State Association, soon to convene, showing the work accomplished in the assoclatlonal year Just closed, which shows members received at home church: by baptism, 62; by letter, 4S; by experience, 7; total, 117.

At St. John's Church Very Rev. Francis H. Gavlsk preached yesterday. He dwelt on the importance of parents seeing to it .that the religious as well as the secular education of their children was not neglected, and said (he future of the Catholic Church depended on the faithfulness of the rising generation. He urged all who had as yet not sent their children to the parochial schools to have them begin today, or as soon after as possible. The diocese rule requiring children to attend the parochial schools for at least two years before receiving first holy commiinlon will be more rigidly enforced hereafter. The collections yesterday , tn all Catholic churches in the diocese of Indianapolis were for the disabled and infirm priests, and were responded to very generously. A MaftS Meeting:. A mass meeting of Sunday school workers will be held at the Second Presbyterian Church to-morrow, evening at 7:30 o'clock, to be addressed by Rev. Marlon Lawrence, general secretary of the International Sunday School Association. AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS IT COJIES FROM A MAX XOW IX JAIL IN WASHINGTON, D. C lie Is Accused of Killing: Ills Be. trotlied Says He Formerly Lived In Indianapolis. A letter has been received In this city under date "U. S. Jail. Washington, D. C, Sept. 7," from J. -C. Lauckton, formerly of this city, in which he appeals to old friends for assistance. He is charged with having caused the death of his betrothed, whom he claims died of apoplexy. "The charge," says Mr. Lauckton, "is simply the result of spite on the part of those who were not as successful In winning the esteem and affection of this lady. Other portions of the letter are as follows: fc "May I request of you to publish an appeal to the good citizens of your city, my old home, to the end that I may be relieved from the distressing condition In which I am now placed. , , "For many years I lived at No. 210 West Ohio street. I served In the war of the rebellion In Company K of the Ninth Indiana Volunteers; am a member of the George H. Chapman' Tost. G. A. R., No. 209. and a member of the Sons of Veterans. "I am possibly best known throughout the country as J. C. Long, the 'American Hercules,' (my professional name) although In Indianapolis I am also known by my right name J. C. Lauckton. "At one time I managed the Park Theater and have played at the old Metropolitan, and am also known at the Dlckerson Opera Hous-e. "I have secured the services of three experienced lawyers of this city and am assured by them that my defense is Insurmountable. While I have no fear as to the result of the trial my funds are now exhausted and It Is essential that I secure expert medical testimony for which I have not the money. And therefore in the depths of despair I turn to my old home and former associates and friends and pray them to come to my assistance and deliver me out of this 'slough of despond.' "My old friends will remember that Jack Lauckton (or Long) was ever ready In the heyday of his life to help a brother or assist a comrade either by a donation of money or with his professional services.

My health is falling in consequence of my long confinement and the severe mental strain naturally Incident thereto." Some twenty inquiries among those who were familiar with the theaters and performers here about twenty years ago showed no recollection of a man named Lauckton. P0UGHT LIKE FIENDS. A Colored Woman Dadly Cnt In Bloody Affray. Fannie Strain, of 405 Bates street, and Kate Ward, of 123 South East street, both colored, fought last night In a room over Brown's barrel house at 612 East Washington street. Kate Ward resented the remarks addressed to her by the other and struck her with a beer glass. The Injured woman ran from the place to her home, screaming as loud as she could. When Dr. McGaughey, of the City Dispensary, reached her she was weak from the loss of blood. The Ward woman claimed to have struck her but once, but the doctor found three wounds on the head. one. a gash on the forehead about five inches long, another at the bridge of the nose and one on the back of 'the head. Both were arrested and charged with assault and battery.

THE HICKORY ELM CLUB

THE PRESIDENT IXDILGCS IX MtSI.XGS OX THE GOLIJEX CIRCLE, And Dellvers n Dissertation on Carl Scliuri's indorsement of Drynn ns National Hostler. "I was thinking," said the president, "that if Colonel Bryan had been old enough in 1S63 to have taken a part In the organization of any of the various secret political societies which sprang up in that year, the Democratic party in some sections of the country would have been saved from much annoyance and subsequent humiliation and reserved odium. I was out In my Dr. Jekyl role and make-up the other day, and ran across a McKinley Republican who seemed to be anxious to involve me In a heated debate on the money question. Of course I had to take our side of the question, and was required to answer several very disagreeable propositions. For instance, I was asked If a 'crown of gold' was a more infamous badge on the brow of labor in 18 than a 'golden circle' used to be when it symbolized the purity and patriotism of a large body of Democrats when Knighthood was in flower, and I answered that I didn't know what he was talking about. - "Then he came at me again. Said he, 'Do you think Colonel Bryan would have consented to a proposition that a Democratic auxiliary organization, composed of picked men of the party, for the express purpose of resisting the enforcement of unconstitutional ' cohpcrlpt laws during the civil war, should have a name with the word 'gold In it?' I saw what he was driv ing at, and I replied: 'Young man, the war is over. You are trying to dig up the bloody shirt. The matter you refer to is a dead Issue, and the progressive Democracy of to-day so regards It. The Order of the Knights of the Golden Circle had it. days, and Col Bryan Is not responsible for its collapse,If he had been in at the organization he could have made no valid objection to the word gold In that connection. The Demo cratic party at that time stood, as it has fctood ever since, for the money of the Constitution, both gold and silver, and there was no tnore'odium attaching to gold then than there was to silver. The odium had concentrated on the unconstitutional issue of legal tender greenbacks, of whicii we afterward became the sole champion when it was discovered that John Sherman was about to ruin the country by returning to specie payments. The Democratic party averted that ruin by agitating the public mina on tne subject or paper currency in nation, preparing the people for resumi) Hon by degrees. If the party had remained tllent no preparation would have been made for the event, and on the morning of the 1st or January, I9, a panic would havo been precipitated, more damaging in its consequences than the panic of 1S03. whicii was the result of thirty years of Republican misrule." "What did he say to that?" inquired Col. Garlic. "Why. the only thing he said was that it took gall to make an argument like that. and I thought so myself, but I didn't tell mm. "One of the advantages the Demo cratic party has over any other political party on earth." the president continued. "is that the Republican can never put us in a hol. After a thing has happened contrary to what we said would happen, by an Ingenious system of reasoning we lie out of It, or we say, wait until the full effect has come and you will find that we were right. A CASE IN POINT. "Take, for Instance, the resumption of specie payments and the adoption of the gold standard, both of which we said would ruin the country; how is anybody going to prove .that Captain Skidmonk wouldn't have been rolling in wealth but for resumption and the gold standard? "Republicans are boasting about prosper ity under McKinley's administration; how are they going to prove 'that the times are better than they would have been if Bryan had been foisted upon the country by bal lot-box frauds in the Southern States? "Another thing that gives us a tremendous advantage is the great abundance of raw material throughout the country, which we always have to work on. There Is enough of that kind of stuff. If properly handled, to elect anybody we put up. Some of it can be made to believe that if Bryan is elected it will get $1 a day for leaning up against a show window and spitting on the sidewalk. Cleveland fooled some of the fellows the last time he ran. They could lean all right, but they couldn't get tobacco enough during his administration to raise the saliva for the spit. On that account it was a very clean administration." Coloner Garlic remarked that some very bright men had come over to Bryan, and mentioned. Carl Schurz as one of them. "Speaking of Schurz." said the president, "there is a mystery about his position In this campaign that I am unable to solve to my own satisfaction. I know it Is sajd that there is a deal between Colonel Bryan and several distinguished mugwumps who were against him before, but I have rot made up my mind that Carl Schurz was in it, yet he may be. If he could be minister to Germany or have a place in the Cablnet .lt might be an inducement for him to attempt the advocacy of Bryanism In a few grossly illogical speeches. He has already made one, wherein he proposed that Bryan should be put in a sort of straitjacket to prevent him from putting the country on a silver basis, as he has agreed to do if elected. If Schurz repeats that speech. I will know, to a dead moral certainty, that he is in the deal or that he has lost his head. AN ILLUSTRATION. "The thing is preposterous. Here Is a candidate nominated because he has advocated a certain political doctrine, the adoption of which he says is essential to the welfare, of the people; and here is Carl Schurz supporting him and saying at the same time that the doctrine held by the candidate is unsound, and if adopted, would be ruinous to the best interests of the country, but that if Congress will do Its duty next winter, it will fix things so that he can do no harm. A gentleman advertises for a stableman to take care of his horses. Suppose- Colonel Bryan should apply for the Job, and bring a certificate of character, readings as follows: " 'To whom it man concern: The bearer hereof, Mr. William Jennings Brvan, is a first-class hostler. As a hostler he has few equals and no superior. He can put a polish on a horse that will make his, hide shine like a looking-glass. He can clan out a stall In one minute by the watch, and pitch hay like a hired hand. The only fault he has Is that he entertains a fool notion that sawdust is better for hordes than oats, and you'd have to watch him to keep him from stuffing your horses with sawdust. But you could prevent him from experimenting with sawdust for horse feed by using straw for lidding, exclusively, and forbidding sawdust on the premises. As an additional precaution you could sue out a writ of injunction against the sawmills in the neighborhood, enjoining them from delivering sawdust of any kind, character or description to. in or upon the, premises whereon the stable is situate, while Mr.. Bryan Is in your employ. " 'He needs th situation very much. He has a large and hungry family depending on him for support, and they regret that he can't be persuaded to drop the sawdust proposition and allow the horses to eat what they want. The undersigned take pleasure in recommending Mr. Bryan for the position of hostler in your establihment, and hope that you will give him a trial of about four 3'ears. . " 'Yours very truly, "'CARL SCHURZ. ' " 'RICHARD OLXKY. " 'OKOVER CLEVELAND, " 'HENRI WATTE ItSON, " And others.' ' "Doefl any member, of this club believe that Colonel Bryan would get the Job with that kind of a record? Carl Schurz has done some very foolish things in politics, but the worst he eved did was to indorse Bryan for national hostler." . . ; W. S. H. Dr. Youug's Hundred Dollars.

HEROD AND PILATE. Ilovr thnt rrnl!r Pits Prohibitionlt nnd Mqnor Advocates. To the Editor of th Inilar.apoli Jcumal: The story of Herod and Pilate Is a familiär one. They had btcn and yet were Implacable enemies, but through a common hatred, and to accomplish a common purposethe death of the Mefsiah they became friends for the occasion and worked together with no love for each other beyond what was necessary for consummating their purpose. This is an experience that has often been duplicated down the ages, but never more strikingly than In the attitude of the Prohibitionists and the saloonlsts towards the Republican partj. A far apart as the poles in sentiment and Interests, they are hand in hand in compassion, their common purpose the defeat of the Republican rumy, with only this difference: The saloonlsts honestly avow their purpose, while the Prohibitionists hypocritically 'claim that their present hostility is owing to Mr. McKinley's personal habits and his attitude In the canteen matter, whereas they well know they would not vote for an archangel if he were nominated by the Republican party. While they speak never a word against Mr. Bryan arid what he stands for, their campaign speeches and their campaign literature ar little else than an abuse of Mr. McKinley and the party he represents, especially parading the canteen matter in hope ol drawing to their moribund party some Republicans who do not approve his course on that question. That the faloon method Is the more honorable, whether the more effective or not, no one will question. There is no hypocritical washing of hands, PlHtellke, with them; they openly state the facts and avow their purpose; they do not care a copper for Mr. McKink-y, except as he represents the Republican party; it Is the partv they are after. Just as wth the Prohibitionists. Take the following frank statement of facts and purposes trom the Washington (I). C.) Sentinel, th official organ of the National Saloon League, of May 27, ISM. There is nothing like it In all the literature of the Prohibition party: "Brewers' affairs were never o gloomy and less promising than now." After showing wherein It proceeds to tell why in the following manner: "Had we not worship false gods there would now be less cause to complain of hard times In the brewing business. Had we trusted our old friends, the Democrats, who always protected us, and had we not been miled by the Republicians. Under such circumstances the brewery business is not a paying one. There Is no hope until Mr. McKinley and his party are defeated. The brewers must stand by their friends if they would save themselves from ruin. They must not ignore but support the Democrats, who are their friends, and who will help them If they will stand by them. If we lose the Democrats, everything is lost, for the brewers .Will never receive any favor from the Republicans." This Is a frank avowal of facts und pur poses. That it Is not an exceptional expression of hostility to the Republican party as a party, take the following from Our Standard, the ortldul organ of -the. Saloon League of Indiana, of Aug. U, 13: "It is our interest to do everything we can to elect the entire Democratic ticket, even though there be some men on it that wo would like to see off." Thus, while the Prohibitionists , are attempting to defeat Mr. McKinley because he fosters the saloon, the Faloon people call for his defeat as their only hoie for the return of good times in their business. Was the cordial co-operation of Herod and Pilate In compassing the death of the Christ any more remarkable than this union of opposing forces for the overthrow of the Republican party? Will any true Prohibitionist be led by the clamor of the mere handful who nrc running a Prohibition party to play tntn the hands of the saloonists. whose only hop for - better times in their business Is. as the Washington Sentinel shows. In the return of tha Democratic party to power? If a Prohibitionist is in accord with Mr. Bryan's political views, he docs right to vote for him. but he certainly is not consistent in consenting to his election under cover of promoting prohibition, the saloonists them selves being Judges. t U. L. SL'E. Indianapolis, Sept. 8. Meeting of t'ulnn Veteran Leslosu To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Union Veteran Legion, whose membership consists of old soldiers who hav seen two or more years of consecutive service, will hold their annual encampment at Fort Wayne next week, commencLng Monday, Sept. 10. Some envious, jealous and otherwise evil disposed, persons are causing it to be announced in the papers that cheap John politicians have engaged rooms at the leading hotels and will 1 largely in attendance. Our organization is nonpartisan, but always extremely loyal. We follow the Hag, and never nop to inquire about small matters. Wc go upon the theory that the spread of Americanism will not harm any one. nnd that a good idzed dose now and then will help to regulate the Internal affairs of any country. Jf 1 had my way I would fasten the flag to the north pole and let her wave over the whole earth. Our liberties, our Institutions, our laws, it seems to me, would come like a blessing to any land or people. Emigration has always bt-en to not from the United States. Wc will have a freeze r at Fort Wayne, and those who come tr work dissension among us will be ircl away. Our boys made it possible for Uncle 8am to straddle the earth, but foreigners and foreign nations ought not t expect too much; we cannot take them all in at once. We are going to have a good timo at Fort Wayne a good time for old soldiers. GEO. W. SPA HR. Indianapolis, Sept. S. 'o You Value Quality? Do You Care for Your Money's Worth?
