Ex Governor St. John, of Kansas.
Below we publish the first proc
lamation of President Cleveland :
Washington, March 13.—The fol
lowing proclamation was issued by
tho president late this afternoon:
By the president of tho United
States of America:
Whereas, it is alleged that certain
individuals, associations of persons
and corporations, are in unantbor
ized possession of portions of terri
tory known ns the Oklahoma lands,
within the Iudian territory, which
are designated, described and re
cognized by the treaties nnd laws
of the United States, and by the ex
ecutive authority thereof, as Iudian
lands, and
Whereas, it is further allegod that
certain other persons or associn
tions, within the territory and juris
diction of the United State®, have
begun and set on foot preparations
for an organized nnd forcible entry
and settlement upon tbe aforesaid
land, and are now threatening such
entry and occupation, nnd
Whereas, the laws of tho United
States provide for the removal of all
persons residing or being found up
on such Indian lands and territory
without tbe permission expressly
and legally obtained of the interior
department,
Now; therefore, for the purpose
of protecting the public interest, as
well as the interests of tho Iudian
nations and tribes, aud to tho end
that no person or persons may be
iuduced to enter upon said territo
ry, where they will not be allowed
to remain without permission of the
authority aforesaid, I, Grover Clove-
laud, president of tho United States,
do hereby warn aud admonish all
and every person or persons now in
tbe occupation of such lands, and
all such person or persons as are
intending, preparing or threatening
to enter and settle upon the same,
that they will neither be permitted
to enter upon Buid territory, nor if
already there to remain thereon,
and that in case due regard for and
voluntary obedience to the laws aud
treaties of the United States and of
this admonition and waruiug be not
sufficient to effect the purposes and
intentions of the government as
hereiu declared, the military power
of tbe United States will be invoked
to abate all such unauthorized pos
session to prevent such threatened
entry and occupation, and to remove
all such intruders from suia Indian
lands.
In testimony whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and lmvt
caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington this 13th day
of March, 1885, and of the inde
pendence of the United States of
America the 109th.

By the president.
T. F. Bayard, Secretary of State
We have heretofore presentecTou 1
readers with portraits of the Presi
dential candidates of the Republican
Democratic and Greenback parties,
and we herewith publish an excel
lent- likenors of ex-Governor St.
John, of Kansas, who, with William
Daniel of Maryland, lead the Prohi
bitionists in the late campaign.
John P. St John was born at
Brockville. Indiana, Feb. 25, 1833,
and is now fifty-one years old. His
father was a farmer, somewhat ad
dicted to intemperate habits ; and
young St. John after spending his
early boyhood laboring upon his
father’s farm, ougAged himself as a
clerk iu a grocery, in which capaci
ty ho served until nearly twenty
years of age, employing nil his leis
ure hours in hard study of the lower
branches of education. California
now attracted the young man to the
Puoifie Coast, where he spent sever
al years in such occupations as a
wood chopper and a steamboat
hand. During this period St. John
made voyages to Mexico, South
America, and the Sandwich Islands
and a tour through Central Ameri
ca. In 1852 and 1853 bo enlisted
in the war against the Indians and
was very seriously wounded in two
engagements.
in these years of hardship yoang
St. John managed to gain a very
respectable knowledge of tho law,
and in I860 ho engaged as a clerk
with a law firm in Charlton, 111. In
a short time he beoame partner in
the concern, bnt at the outbreak of
tho war he patriotically enlisted as
a private in tbe Sixty-eighth Illinois
volunteers. At the close of hostili
ties he had risen to the rank of a
Lieut. Colonel. He now settled at
Independence, Mo., and began the
practice of his profession, but in
18(59 lie removed to Olathe, Kansas
and hero began his active career in
politics. In 1872 he was sent to the
State Senate, andiu 1878, aud again
in 1880 was elected Governor of
Kansas. He was in these years a
recognized leader of the Republican
party, but his extreme views on tern
perauce,legislation and prohibition
have caused him to forBako the for
mer party aud become au ardent
worker iu the rauks of the Prohi-
bitiouists.
Mr. St. John iB a man of fine
presence and unimpeachable char
acter. His convictions are iquiu*
tainod with a vigor and ability that
command admiration from all, if not
a full endorsement of the opportune
ues8 of their promulgation.
to be accursed or devoted to destruc
tion who "love not” the Lord Jeans,
and, without dwelling particularly
on lovo to Christ he affirmed thut
such affection must exist which
manifested itself in worship and
obedience. A mere affirmation of
love, without evidence of its exis
tence, was not sufficient.
He then wont on to declare that
person who loved not Christ
should be cursed by exclusion from
boaven. First, he was an enemy to
God, This is shown by his reject
ing the principle of love, on which
God’s government rests; by his re
fusing to oboy God, who commands
him to love tho Savior; by his refus
ing to worship Christ, whom men
and angels are commanded to wor
ship. He is, thus, an enemy ond
a rebel to God; beoause, in his an
tagonism to the kingdom of Christ,
ho manifests animosity to God, and
spurns his authority. Secondly, ho
is nn enemy to hiB race; beoause
Christ came to bring salvation to
mankind, and he not only refuses to
harmonize with, bnt antagonizes
that design. As though one sought
to prevent the distribution of medi
cine, which a physician has brought
to a distressed nation, or of lood
which a benefactor has brought to
the starving inhabitants of a coun
try, so he opposes one, who has
brought life oternal to tbe lost and
perishing of earth. Thirdly, he is
an enemy to himself, because in re*
fusing what is for his own good, he
injures aud ruins himself. When
guilty, he refuses pardon; when
ooudemnod, he refuses nequitaj;
when dying he refuses offered life,
and when lost forever ho refuses
salvation and persists in continuing
in the road to perdition. Now what
is to be done with such a man? You
oan’t tuke him to heaven; for if he
refuses to submit to God’s govern
ment here he will refuse te submit
to it in heaven. If he declines
from a wicked and hostile inclina
tion, to worship and love and obey
God here, how can he do so there,
where all are in sympathy and ac
cord with what is good and holy and
obedient? He who is not in sym
pathy with what is puro and good
here, and refuses association with
the holy on earth, how can he ex-
pect to go to heaven ? Where, then,
can ho go ? Having assimilated
himself with the enemies of God, he
must go where God’s enemies are,
and that is—to perdition.
It follows inoontrovertibly that
those who love not the Lord Jesus
and obey him not mast be accursed
or sent away into evaluating punish
ment, when our Lord comes to re
ward every one according to their
deeds.

Brief Notes of Dr. E. W. Warren’s
Sermon, Sunday, March 1st.
Another Bell for the Exposition.
A St. Louis special says: Bishop
Battes, of Alton, 111., having giveD
his consent, the old boll belonging
to the Catholic church at Kaskas-
kia, HI., once the seat of the Span
ish empire iu the Mississippi Valley,
has been sent to the exposition at
New Orleans. It is tho first bell
that ever tolled west of tbe Alleghe
ny mountains. It was oast at Ro
chelle, France, iu 1741 and was pre
sented by the' King- of France to
Louis Buyatte for tbe parish of
Kasknskia, where during the past
140 years it has been iu uso.

Telegraph & Messenger.
On tho morning of Sunday, March
1st. Dr. E. W. Warren discoursed
to his congregation on a topic which
he remarked was an unusual one for
him, from which we have taken a
few brief notes. The text was 1
Oor. 16:22. "If a man love not the
Lord Jesus Christ, let him be
Anathema Maranutba.’’ Emphasiz
ing the fact that the Gospel was a
gospel of love, the preacher declared
that it was by far his preference to
present the loving aspects, and us
ually he did so, but to-day he would
present the other side—its threat-
i-mugs. He first briefly explained
the different meanings attached to
the word ‘anathema” by the Jews
themselves,and showed that it meant
here, exclusion from the joys of
heaven, with added punishment; but
what that punishment is he pretend
ed not to affirm, simply contenting
Liimself with quoting two passages
of scriptuie—"Who shall be pun
ished with everlasting destruction
from the presence of the Lord and
from the glory of his power”—2
Thess. 1;9, and “These shall go
away into everlasting punishment."
Matt. 25:46. This will occur at the
coming of Christ—Maranathan —
when the Lord comes, i. e. when he
comes to judge the world. They are
Charlotte Corday.
Charlotte Corday, who ended her
short but eventful life through the
ministrations of the guillotine, in
Paris, on the 17th of July 1793,
was the daughter of a poor Normou
uobleman, and was born in the de-
E artment of Orne, July 28, 1768.
ter father was the author of works
of a republican tendency, and Bhe
inherited not only his literary, but
also bis liberally patriotic tastes and
temperament. She was impulsive,
vehement and passionate to a high
degree. Sho formed a violent at
tachment for a young cavalry officer
who was subsequently assassinated
at Caen. Determined to avenge the
death of her lover.who was a Giron
dist, she went to Paris and took an
apartment not far from the dwelling
o! the great journalist, Marat. For
a time she was undeoided as to
whether Robespiorre or Murat
should be the viotim of her ven
geance. The advocacy by the lat
ter of the Killing of more Girondists
decided her choice. Providing her
self with a kuife, she called -at Ma
rat's house on the evening of July
13 and with some difficulty obtained
an audience, having promised to
aoquaint Marat- with tbe plots of
the Girondists at Caen. Marat lis
tened to her story, and at its con
clusion remarked: "Within a week
they will go to the guillotine.” 'At
that moment tbe yoang woman drew
the knife and plnnged it to the hilt
in Marat’s heart. Tbe blow was
not only struck with lightning like
quickness, but was aimed with a
bold aud uutrembling bund.
Charlotte Corday was tried on the
morning of July 17 and was behead
ed on the evening of* the same day.
Her courage did not forsake her,
and she proclaimed, as she was
brought face to face with the instru
ment of deuth, that she had “killed
one man to save a hundred thous
and.” Her courage so impressed
an unfortunate young German en
thusiast named Lux that he wrote
a pamphlet suggesting tbe erection
of a monument to her memory, for
which unwelcome suggestion he was
himself arrested and subsequently
guillotined.
