NOTICE OF REMOVAL. * * * The Sentinel has remoTed to new quarters at 23 North Illinois-st., where it has one of the most complete, convenient and handsomely equipped newspaper offices in the country. This location is of easy access to the business heart of the City, and is doubtless a welcome change to The Sentinel's patrons. * * * j As a compromise measure the French assembly might more into the penitentiary and tend the convicts out to do the necessary law-making for the country. Four hundred were drowned on the battleship Victoria. Had it been New York's "four hundred" the affair could not have been regarded in the light of an tin usual calamity. * * * In the midst of this peaceful season when people were forgetting politics and settling down to the quiet enjoyments of base ball and prize fights, the Chicago Tribune demands an immediate session of congress. Let us hope that an enraged populace will throw the Tribune into the lake. * * * The entire press of the country seems to agree with the jury verdict in the Borden case. With very little exertion Miss Borden may now soar among the distinguished heroines of the past and present. She may be proud of one feature of the trial, and that is that her character was not impeached. This is dear and priceless to any woman who knows how to properly value it. That the prosecuting attorney in the Borden case handled all the evidence against the prisoner with masterly ability and failed to convict makes the acquittal of Miss Borden all the more valuable to her. * * * It is suggested that if the Chinese rule of decapitating bankers who fail were in force here the headsman would be kept busy. Probably not. Bankers do not fail in China. There is more reason in the Chinese rule than most people imagine, and a modification of it would not be a bad thing for adoption in the United States. Suppose that every banker was required to make a full statement of his financial condition at stated intervals., and a false statement was made a penitentiary offence. There would not be so many false statements and there would not be so many failures. The Chinese are no fools. Several months ago a correspondent of The Sentinel sent an account of how James Tobin of Montgomery county had cured a bad case of stomach trouble by confining his daily diet to half a gallon of ice cream. This account has gone the rounds of the press of the country, but while Tobin's name was retained, he has been located in several states. The last account that came under our notice appeared in a California paper and Tobin was located in that state. Previous to that he had been placed in Pennsylvania. New York, Missouri and other states by various newspapers. The genuine cure was effected in Montgomery county, this Etate, and we think ner Ladoga. * * * The steamship records snow a decrease in cabin passengers from this country to Europe during May, as compared with May 1S92, of 2,461 persons. Also an increase of the number arriving in this country from Europe of 1,867. This makes a "balance of trade" in our favor, for the month, of 4,318 persons. It is supposed that the change in cabin passengers will be a fair indication of the effect of the world's fair in keeping our people at home and bringing foreigners here. It has been supposed that May and June 'would be the best months for foreign arrivals, but this is doubtful. We predict that July, August, and September will each surpass either of the earlier months. Our esteemed friend William McKinley has struck out in his campaign in the same old track. A "farmer" has written him a letter stating that "the farmers of the country have already sacrificed $20,000,000 in the decline of the price of their wool on account of the democratic promisee of free wool." Mr. McKinley knows better than that, because he knows that there has been no fall in wool since the last campaign, although there has been a general decrease in the price of commodities. There was a heavy fall in the price of wool after the passage of the McKinley bill, but it did not last after the campaign of 1892. Mr. McKinley should be arrested for attempting to obtain votes under false pretences. The heresy trials that we occasionally experience in this country have the effect of creating among the really religious masses a desire to have the simple truth of the gospel preached to them. Religious controversies should be confined to theologians and theological seminaries. An intelligent theology is perhaps necessary to combat infidelity and the formulas necessary to this end should be made in schools of theology, but the great masses of church-goers want a simple gospel. The New York lndependent on this subject says: The gospel is the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is just that and nothing more ; it must not be made less. The gospel suffers a sad injury at the hands of those who make it a dogma of intellectual faith instead of a message of love and help from God to man. It is life, not dead bones. It must not, in its presentation, be entangled in a snarl of philosophical statements, veiled in contradictions or mysteries which destroy all its life and vigor. Nothing is so concrete, so personal, so practical as the gospel. Nothing abstract, vague or technical most be substituted for it. To believe in a Savior, to trust and follow Him — that is a very simple matter. To rely for salvation on forms or formulas, on statements or speculations about Christ instead of on Christ himself that is somewhat very hard indeed. We want, then, no emasculated and no metaphysical gospel. In the olden time

there were those who made yoid the law by their traditions; in the latter days there are those who make void the gospel by their "speculations." It was of such that Paul was thinking when he wrote: "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."

A Prayer Test. Borne years have passed sinee the Tyndall proposition for a prayer test raised so much discussion in this country, and now we are confronted by one almost as unique as that then proposed.' The objective point is the conversion of Robert G. Ingersoll more than that, the making him the leader of areligious sect. The purpose was announced to the eloquent infidel by letter. A well-dressed stranger called at his office, left the letter, asked its immediate delivery and withdrew. Isgersoll's private secretary read the letter, threw it into the waste-paper basket as he does with most letters on the subject of religion, picked it up again and handed it to his employer. It read thus: Robert G. Iogenoll: Dear Sib For many years I and my friends have been warm admirers of you as a man of intelligence and brains, but the time has come when you should lay off this shell of unbelief which, octopus like, surrounds you, and come forth in the clear light of belief and faith before you are taken hence. Now, my dear sir, I do not wish to enter into any debate on re ligion. I intend to convert you. We have recently come to this country from London, along with a few etaneh followers, and we are preparing to give to thousands of Americans the true religion of mankind. We will preach a religion that is the most sensible and logical of all known religions. We have taken the best and most probable ideas from those records for which there is reasonable proof. This religion of mankind is not the religion of any one sect, but is intended to take into its tolds the thousands and thousands of dissatisfied men and women in protestantism and Catholicism today. You need not be told of the internal dissensions raging today in the various churches in this country, of one prelate arrayed against the other, preacher battling with preacher and class over all. It is needless to oite examples, and no one is perhaps better aware of this than vou. This religion is a reasonable religion. It is uot like the salvation army in its methods, but we believe in having a man at its head like yourself, a giant intellectually and a Christian, though as yet an unbeliever. With a leader like you we could sweep the country and gain thousands of converts for the religion of all mankind. We a'e believers in prayer and by prayer we h jpe to convert you to this religion for which you can do So much good. For several nights past I and mv followers have prayed at the door of your residence that the pood and kind Maker would preserve you for this great movement. Now we shall pray by day as well as by night. We shall go to your place of resort by day and pray you to be converted and accept the leadership of our religion and become leader of the society of all souls. We will have a national headquarters in New York. I will call upon you in a fortnight to secure your answer to our request. We fuel confident by that time our efforts in praver will have worked your salvation. Yours to save all souls, Gordon Lawrence, P. J. S. Mr. Inc.er.hoi.l was taken aback by the novelty of the project, and apparently somewhat startled, for he could not get it off his mind till some minutes bad passed. Then recollecting that he had been absent from home for several days and that his assailants had been praying before an empty house, he gradually recovered his equanimity and eaid that Lawrente might pray for him "whenever and as long as he chooses." Is Ingers. ill afraid of the power of prayer? Does he feel in hia inmost soul a dread that some mysterious power may lay its hand upon hini and lead him in the course he has so long ridiculed? It would indeed be a strange conclusion to such a life as his, and yet there are unquestionable records of men who have been as bitter against Christianity as himself who have been thus faced about, not by appeals to reason, or interest, or any motive of the intellect, but by some force theretofore unknown to them. From St. Paul's day to the present there have not been wanting such instances of the power of divine grace, and there is no reason why Mr. Ingersoll should be exempt from its workings. Nevertheless, it does not seem probable that Mr. Ingersoll is in immediate danger of a change of heart, for the character of the assault on his infidelity is hardly what could be regarded aa tendin? to eecure supernatural assistance. This may be seen more clearly by considering closely a few of the expressions of the letter, such as these; I intend to convert you. This religion is a reasonable religion. It is not like the Salvation army in its methods, but we believe in having a man at its head like yourself, a giant intellectually and a Christian, though as yet an unbeliever. With a leader like you we would sweep the country and gain'thouaanda of converts for the religion of mankind. I will call upon you in a fortnight to secure your answer to our request. We feel confident by that time our efforts in prayer will have worked your salvation. Is this the spirit of Christianity? Ia it not rather of the type that was con demned as savoring "not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men." The man who imagines that "a giant intellectually" is needed as a leader of the Christian church has not carefully studied the teachings of Him who chose "the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." There can be but one leader of the Christian church, and there is no teaching that any one or anything "conld sweep the country" except through Hian. Mr. Lawrence has evidently supreme faith in his own influence with superior powers, and next to that holds his faith in Mr. Inqeusoll. We would sooner expect the salvation army to convert Mr. Ingersoll. It is not so self-reliant. Neither does it consider Mr. Ingkpsoll so important. An humbled convert once said in a "speaking meeting," "I thought when the church got me it would have a whale, but I find it caught but an insignificant minnow." If Mr. Jkgersoll is truly converted he will go through the same process. Mr. Lawrence appears to be still in the whale tige. lie Break the Silence. It ia a souree of infinite gratification to the people of Indiana that Gen. Harrison h5 at length got an opportunity to make m speech. There has been something distressing in the way be has been shut out on occasions of the past and now all unbiased spectators will be relieved to know that be has had a chance to uncork himself. When "Artemu Ward" was cof

fined in a "lotbsum danjin" by the forces of the southern confederacy, bis (rental soul was bowed down by the lack of an audience until in the depths of agony he cried out, "Stay, jailer, etay, and give me something to talk, or I shall go mad." It is pleasant to remember that .after this frightful experience a happy thought occurred to "Artemus." He opened the window and got out. Somewhat similar has been the experience of our distinguished fellow-citizen. Since the Liberty bell visited Indianapolis on its mission of inculcating patriotism in the youth of the city, Mr. Harrison has been confined by the walls of silence, with the exception of a slight outbreak by popular demand at Chicago. Now he has opened the window and got out. It is well. The occasion of hia deliverance was furnished by Mr. Pullman, the sleepingcar millionaire, who has erected a bronze memorial group at the scene ot the FL Dearborn massacre. Mr. Harrison acquitted himself in his customary happy wey, eloquent, patriotic, fervr.nt, but a trifle illogical. He struck in with a graceful reference to the greatness of Chicago and the success of the world's fair, after which he demonstrated the importance of monuments and the fact that the country had been explored and settled by pioneers. This naturally led him on to the thought that patriotism was a good thing and that the evacuation of Ft. Dearborn was a mistake. Nevertheless, he showed that the men and women who evacuated FL Dearborn were heroic and patriotic, and wound up as follows: There is a teaching, and an inspiring force in every such structure. It is, I am sure, a pleasant thing for you who are here to turn away a moment from these hurrying scenes that are about and to look with contemplative eye upon these incidents of the early history of Chicago, whicb, if they taaoh any lesson, teach this: That the prosperity of communities, the safety and honor of state 9 must be bedded upon a virtuous, self-respecting, law-abiding and God-fearing people. This is novel and striking, but it is illogical. FL Dearborn was not a prosperous community, and yet the people who were there were all right, as Mr. Harrison himself concedes. The logical conclusion from the premises would be that the prosperity of a community rests on those who let. the other fellows be killed by the Indians, and then move in and sell town lots at slightly advanced prices. Wo have a great deal of respect for Chicago, but we cannot ascribe her prosperity to the patriotic and self-sacrifioing disposition of her citizens. Too much Indiana currency has ben absorbed by her bulls and bears, aided by an occasional Dwiogins, to permit us to join in such a tribute. Chicago is a great place, but her "virtuous, eel -respecting, law-abiding and God-fearing people" should be avoided in a horse trade. At least that is what Verner &, McKee think about iL After his successful introduction to the public at Chicago Mr. Harrison may feel encouraged to proceed in his course with a feeling that there will be yet other opportunities to talk in the future. Indeed, a grand vista of elocution seems to open before him. The grand army encampment at Indianapolis, the city campaign, bis law lectures at Leland Stanford university, and the county fair circuit opening next month, will give bim an unparalleled scope for oratorical manifestations, and also an opportunity to resume handshaking relations with "my friends from Jennings county." Many months will pass before we shall again hear those pathetic words, "The campaign is over, and the speech-making is over." Three years and almost five months of uninterrupted oratory be before us. Wherefore let us rejoice. Repeal the Sherman Law. All good democrats have felt that there was cause for mourning in Henry Watterson's declaration that he had withdrawn from politics and that he purposed never again to cross the threshold oi a state or national convention, but equally all good democrats can rejoice that Henry Watterson's newspaper is coming to the right position on the currency question. It is very evident that unless the democratic party harmonizes on some plan for the adjustment of this question its

possibilites for the future will be greatly impaired, and there seems a veryeaay and feasible method of reaching tbat end by agreeing to dispose of the Sherman law, which is of no earthly benefit to anyone except the owners of silver mines. The Courier-Journal says as to this: The Sherman act was heralded by tho extreme advocates of silver as an act to advance both the dignity and value of the silver dollar. Has it had this effect? Not at alL Its only etiect is to deplete the treasury of its gold reserve, to destroy public coufidence and to plnnge us into the existing money crisis. In view of this fact it does seem that those who predict such miracles of free coinage ought to be less sure of their footing. They tread upon exceeding miry soil. ' Let us carry out the declarations of the democratic party made in convention assembled. First, let us repeal the Sherman act, that "cowardly makeshift" which our national platform denonnces so roundly and so justly. That done, we can the better proceed to redeem the pledge to maintain the parity of the two metals. One thing at a time, gentlemen; but let that one thing be done without excitement. These are serious times. The chief trouble is that familiar, but mysterious agent, "the lack of confidence." We have never thought that the hopes of the one class, or the fears of tho other class, would be quite realized. Bat fancy, when fairly aroused, is tor the moment as potent as fact, and wise doctors always yield something to the imagination of eick patients. While the conclusions here reached can be conscientiously agreed to by men of all sorts of financial opinions we should not deem it wise to consent to the premises without some explanation. The "extreme advocates of silver" who sounded the praises of the Sherman law were republicans. It was a republican measure passed by the most partisan republican congress that the country has seen since the days of reconstruction and signed by a republican president who sympathized with, aided and abetted the most partisan measures of that congress. The Sherman law is founded on the republican theory of protection. It aimed to furnish a merket for A merican silver, and that only. It was an attempt to give benefits to American mine owners at the expense of the country. Its author baa declared that it was adopted to prevent tho passage of a free coinage bill, and tbat is what the "extreme advecates of eilver" wanted if we may trust to the definitions of today. It was a "cowardly makeshift," but a makeshift for what? Most certainly tho dem

ocratic party cannot afford to assume the responsibility for this measure, and it can lose nothing by repealing it. - Itcttublican Kilver Policy. The awful Cheadle has again risen above the horizon for tho illumination' of the public mind as to the duty of the republican party in the disposing of the silver question. This would be of no special moment but for the fact that he has unquestionably outlined the course that his party will take, not because Mr. Cjieadle advises his party to do so, but because his party will act on precisely the principles that brought Mr. Cueadle to his conclusions. The republicau party is in sore' straits on account of the defection of several western states from its ranks because of its position against free " coinage taken at its last national convention. The problem tbat confronts it is how to bring these back into line without alienating the banking influence in the EasL Mr. Ciieadle sees, and other republican politicians likewise see, that while the Sherman law is doing no good whatever in keeping up tho value of commodities, let alone restoring the relative value of money and commodities which was lost by demonetizing silver, it does furnish a steady and convenient market to the ownera oi silver mines. It does this at the expense of the government by causing it to buy something for which it has no use, tobe stored away in .the government store houso. The Sherman silver law is solely for the benefit of owners oi silver mines. It does not help the great body of the American people in their effort to obtain a table bimetallic currency. It is as purely class legislation of the protective type as is the sugar bounty or the tariff on copper. But it will help the republican party to fight for it, because what they want is not the restoration of values, but the political support of tho owners of silver mines. Hence, in so far as the republican party can support the Sherman law without committing itself against the gold monometallism which it has created in this country, it will do so. The eay way to do this is to obstruct, to oppose any change, to resist any policy proposed, but propose no policy. As Mr. Ciieadll concisely puts it: Let the work of tring down, if it is done, be done by the democrats. If changes are made let them nuke the changes. We know that so lon aa existing conditious remain, no holder of a dollar, whether of coin or ptper, can läse one cent. Let us not forget this maxim : It is always wisest to le. well enough alone. Let us stand in the middle of the road and let those who are responsible drivu the wagon. This is apparently the eafesi position the republicans can take. They can stand in the middle of the road and force the democrats to drive over them. If any one objects they answer tbat they are not driving tho wagon. The other party has been empowered to do that. Their business is to impede the progress of the wagon and blame the results on the driver, but at the same time they do this not for the purpose of impeding the wagon. Don't imagine that. All they desire is for the democrats to bear the responsibility of the drivin, for if they were to give any aid the responsibility might be thrown on them. This plan ia so simple, and so easily covered with false pretenses, that it naturally recommends itself to the republican statesmen of these modern years. There is hardly room for doubt that it will be adopted, and we congratu-

J late Mr. Cheapi.e on his sagacity in lead ing off the procession. "Washington Death-Traps. The Btorm that ia being raised about the ears of the leaders ot the billion-doliar congress for squandering all the nation's money instead of putting up decent government buildings at Washington is becoming very annoying to those gay spendthrifts. They are beginning to realize that their mad rush for bounties and subsidies was a mistake, and that the legitimate needsof the governmentshould have consumed some part of what they threw away. They have already discovered that the people did not approve of their extravagance, and they now see that their wrong-doing has entailed to the country the terrible disgrace of putting its employes into a death-trap and compelling them to work there. In their effort to get rid of this awful responsibility they are endeavoring to throw it on the "economical" congressmen, but that is ridiculous, because everybody knows and has known for years that nothing could be moro extravagant than the system of renting buildings for government use which has prevailed in Washington. Even the New York Prem, which is one of tho most rabid republican sheets in the country, concedes this, saying: The investment of a liberal sum of money in suitable buildings at Washington for the use of those departments which are now forced to hire private property for tho accommodation of their clerks, or else to place them in unsafe structures such as Ford's theater, the present printing office or the Winder building would long ago have been both economical in saving rentals and-humane in protecting life. This is unquestionably true. The renting of these buildings has been the grossest extravagance. It has been a prominent feature of the robbery of the public treasury that has been going on for years in Washington, and very probably if the matter were investigated eome rich scanda's would be unearthed in connection with it. If an investigation committee should be appointed it might profitably devote some attention to "the Bush building," which is used as an annex to the sixth auditor's office. This death-trap was put up by Mr. John Wanamarer and has been used by the government at a very high rental. Several times tho clerks have been dismissed while workmen were called in to brace it up and strengthen it lest it fall down. There isjno economy in such procedure, and no one who favors economy in government would advocate or defend such extravagance. Tho billion-dollar congressmen cannot impose on the people by any pretense that this is the result of economy. Any person of ordinary intelligence can see that the government can furnish its own buildings cheaper than any one can furnish them for it. A building is expected to rent for enough to pay interest on tho investment, taxes and a reasonable profiL The government can borrow money cheaper than any individual. It has no taxes to pay. The element of profit does not enter into ils use of its own buildings.

By all means let the government erect euch baildincs as are necessary for its use, and let them be made safe and durable. ET CETERA.

MILLEVOYE STARTS A ROW.

A Sensational Meeting of the French Chamber of Deputies. Paris, Juno 22. Dr. Charcot and Dr. Brouardel, the eminent French physicians who were sent to Bournemouth, England, to ascertain the exact condition of Cornelius Herz, whose extradition the French government requested of Great Britain, because of hia connection with the Panama canal scandal, hare made a report which agrees with the statements of the English physicians to the effect that the condition of Mr. Herz is such that his extradition is an impossibility. The facts are noted in the chamber of deputies today. M. Millevoye asked several questions concerning the extradition of M. Herz and the documents alleged to have been stolen from a strong box at the British embassy. With regard to the Herz matter M. Dup ly replied that England had done every ching poasibte for her to do to grant the extradition as requested by France. As for the stolen documents M. Dupuy . stated that the public prosecutor could take no knowledge from stolen documents. M. Millevoye then stated that he had the text of several of the documents in respect of negotiations with Mr. Austin Lee, secretary of the British embassy in Paris, all of which bore the date of April 2. 1893. M. Millevoye started in to read one of the document?, lie cot as far as "I saw, today, Clemecceau," when M. Lovelle interrupted him and begged the president of the chamber to consider the matter an international question. Baron de Marcay suggested tbat the chamber resolve itself into a secret committee to hear the documents, but tho suggestion was voted down. M. Millevoye further accused M. Clemenceau of delivering to England private letters that had pas6sd between M. Ribot, late prime minister and minister of foreign afiairs, and the French minister to lgypt. and between Ribot and the French ambassador at Constantinople, lie produced a list of names of the persons and the papers whom he alleged England had bribed, and the amount of money given as bribes. Reread amid an uproar that almost drowned his voice: Temv, 50,000 francs ; Eduard Le Matin, 30,000 francs; Le Jour, 15,000 francs; Kochfort, 8,000 francs ; Clemenceau, 50,000 francs. At this point the uproar and confusion in the chamber became tremendous. The members of the extreme left roue from their seats and demands were made that II. Millevoye leave tho chamber. M. Millevoye, however, stood his ground, and when a semblance of order and quiet was restored, he shouted: "The whole thing is a scandal. Bardeau received 50,000 francs." M. Bardeau sprang from his seat and exclaimed, "I expect the chamber to vindicate my honor." M. Clemenceau and all the members of the party of the extreme left again rose from their seats and hooted. After a time they insisted that tho rest of the paper be read. M. Millevoye again started to read, but M. de Roulede, who is also a BoulangisL stated that he could not listen to him, and wculd resign his seat rather than do so.

SECRETARY MORTON TALKS.

HIS VIEWS ON THE POPULISTS AND THE MONEY QUESTION. Tliinka the Democrat Should Not Affiliate with the former and Declares That the I'arty in Power Is For bound CurrencyOther Capital Newa. Washington, June 23. Tho Star this evening has a long interview with Secretary J. sterling Morton on the subject of the populist agitation and the financial queetion in politics. The secretary expresses the opinion that the populist . party is disintegrating, and that the dem ocratic party being committed to policies not in accord with the teachings of tho populists cannot have an alliance with them. "By the nomination of Mr. Cleveland," eays the secretary, "and by the wordin of the platform the democrats repudiated all heresies and took the position to which it belongs, on the side of sound money and sound principles. The party is pledged to this, and the election of Mr. Cleveland is an indorsement of his position by a majority of the people. His election meant, among other things, the condemnation of laws placing artificial prices upon commodities, whether of wool or metal, tin or bilver; that the government should not be forced to be a buyer or free coiner of silver, and that sound financial policies ehould be enforced. All the plain, honest people of the country want ia a sound, reliable currency, fcufiicient for the purposes of trade and commerce. You can never get a majority of the people of this country to favor a currency based on an artificial value, and consequently unstable and liable to eerious depreciation. The great trouble in settling this question has come from the fact that many of our 'statesmen' of both parties in congress are demagogues and are influenced by the consideration of what may be the immediate eCect of their action upon their political prospects, rather than by their own judgment as to what is the right thing to do. Tbey deceive themselves as to what the peoplo want, and then sometimes deceive their constituents to wanting what is not the best thing for them." The secretary eaid that ho did not know whether or not the advocates of the repeal of the Sherman law would have to accept a compromise. He hoped for the repeal of the law aud saw no objection to the repeal of the 10 per cent, law on state benks as a compromise with thoso who want more currency. 1'nder one condition, he said, the absolutely free coinage of silver and gold alike might bo agreed to as a compromise, that is, if both were deprived cf their legal tender quality. The stamp of the government would then signify no more than merely that the coin was of a certain weight and fineness and the people couid take which coin they pleased and refuse either if they did not like it. The two sorts of coin would then be placed on their merits and the people would soon ascertain which they wanted. "Without the legal tender quality," continued Mr. Morton, "deprived of the fiat element, silver would have to depend on the proper measure of supply and demand for its value, and it is not difficult to judge which metal the people would want as long as the diiference between the denomination value and the bullion value of the coin is so great. I think tho farmers are beginning to realize that they are being required to exchange their products, produced at the cost of great labor, for a product costing much less labor and possessing, thereicre, a less intrinsic value at the ratioof their exchange than their wheat and their corn." Court or Claim Adjourn. The U. S. court of claims has adjourned for the usual summer vacation until Oct. 10 next. A number of opinions were announced. Among them wan one in favor of James A.
