Christianity can never make satis¬
factory progress so long as govern¬
ments persist in maintaining a system
of political economy which permits
the wealth of a nation to be absorbed
by- usurers. There is a moral side to
the question of tho free coinage of
silver which our Christian friends
should seriously consider if they are
really in earnest in their devotion to
the cause of tho meek and lowly Sav¬
ior, It is impossible for their the mass of
men to pay attention to spiritual
welfare so long as they are harrassed
] )y f Par of physical suffering for them
selves or families. They are very apt,
under such circumstances, to doubt the
kindness of the Creator and stray away
into tho belief that the teachings of the
disciples arc not intended for them,
but only for the favored few, and this
may be be said to be the prime reason
why there are so many people at the
present day who are totally indifferent
to the consolations of religion. — Farm

A correspondent in the /’rogretsire
Farmer says regarding the income
tax: 1 wish to say something to you
and the people about the present con¬
dition of affairs at Washington. I see
that they have been speaking about tie
in come tax. The l»est wav to raise
that tax is to reduce the wages of the
president and congressmen, and, in
fact, ail the officers, and make them
hire their clerks instead of the £Tt‘T*
eminent. We don’t send them there
to drink whiskey and frolic, hire clerks
to do the work while they are in bed
drunk. I for one am in favor of call
mg a conference of all the states and
sending a committee of two good
farmers from every county, not law
vers, doctors, merchants or preachers,
t>nt farmers who know the necessities
of tho people, and demand of Cleve
land and bis sold-out congress that
they quit talking tariff. That is all for
effect, trying to get something to harp
on the- next campaign. It they will
give the people S5A per capita we can
share our boat while Cleveland is in
then get a more honest man to

This bargain and sale of the most sa¬

Germany, where government and owner

seven times as many accidents to em¬

which attracts attention in Germany is
tho careful protection to life and limb.
Accidents of daily occurrence in Chi¬

Hearing Arguments.
Judge Bradley’* court was occupied
during the entire day Saturday in
hearing argument upon the prayers
submitted by both sides in the Breck
iuridge-Pollard case for instructions to
the jury. The proceedings were pure
ly technical aud very few spectators
were present. The main argument of
counsel was as to which side ought to
assnme the burden of proof m regard
to the conflicting statements of plain
tiff and defendant. Judge Bradley
took the matter under advisement.
A'aluable Horse* Burned.
Bernard Manion s handsome three
storv livery and boarding stable at
Baltimore lias been burned, together
with 120 horses, 150 carriages and a
large quantity of feed. Manion esti¬
mates his loss at about $2>'0,OOO. The
value of the boarders cannot be learn¬
ed as yet. The total ’o s will, how¬
ever, approximate nearly 4500,000.
Sailor* Drowned.
A telegram from Catham, Mass.,
states that the bark Belmont, of Bos¬
ton, is ashore on the Pe»ked Hills bar.
Six of her crew of nine were washed
overboard and drowned.
FIREMEN KILLED.
DAVIDSON’S THEATRE AT MIL
W AUK EE, AVIS., BURNED
And Ten Unfortunate Firemen Hurled
to Their Death.
The Davidson theatre and hotel at
Milwaukee, AVis., was destroyedSjy Kn
Monday morning and ten firemen lost
their lives. The structure is valued at
$300,000. Tho alarm was promptly
responded to, but not until the roof
was a sheet of flames. Immediately on
tlie arrival of the firemen ladders were
run np and the men rushed up on tho
roof, which is six stories from the
ground. In doing so 4iUic Reese, one
of the men, slipped and fell to the
ground, being killed by the fall.
All the men from engine house No. 4
were directed to the rear platform por¬
tion of the roof, right over the stage,
where the fire was doing its worst.
These firemen and others took their
stations and began work, when, with¬
out warning, the roof under them
gave way, precipitating nine of the
eighty men below into the fire on the
stage of the theater, all of whom were
either killed by the fall or burned or
suffocated to death.
The correct list of the dead arc as
follows: Third assistant chief, Au¬
gust Jansen ; Frank McGurk, lieuten¬
ant truck company No. 4, acting cap¬
tain ; Fred Kro6sehmuer, fireman
chemical engine No. 2; Captain Archie
Campbell, of Fire boat Foley; Allie
Reese, company No. 3, killed by falling
from ladder; James C. Freeman, lieu¬
tenant company No. 4.
A man was crushed beyond recogni¬
tion and found in the balcony of the
theatre.
Not Liable for Damages.
Judge Parlange, of the United States
circuit court, at New Orleans, has de¬
cided one of the Italian suits in favor
of tho defendant, holding that the city
of New Orleans was not liable for dam¬
ages for the killing of Italians at the
parish prison on the memorable 14th
of March. He decided that the city
when it was exercising its government¬
al functions was entitled to the rights
of » sovereign nnd could not be sued.
Aloilitieil the Illjuin-tion
A Milwaukee dispatch says: Judge
Jenkins has modified hisinjunction or¬
der against the striking employes of
the Northern Pacific railroad by strik¬
ing out the clause, “nnd from order¬
ing, recommending, approving or ad¬
vising others to quit the service of the
receivers of the Northern Pacific on
January 1, 1894, or at any other time.”
In all other respects the the judge de¬
nies the motion of the men.
