Dr. Washing- ton Gladden, an eminent divine of Columbus, Ohio, whose severe critl- clams of the methods of John D. Rock- elelier attracted national attention. Dr. Glaiden says it 1s a good world $0 live in, and he fen’t in sympathy with Dr. Osler, who thinke all men orer sixty years should be chlorc- formed. *¥eor old John Alexander Dowle, + the“lowader of Zion, together with ‘ his peculiar religious sect, has col- \lapeed, his diseased mind which had wondertal hallucinations and which controlled many, while furnishing emusementfor nearly the wholecivil- fixed world, has given away entirely aader the great strain.

The present SHERIDAN IN CHARGE The Kaneas City Post, which was started as a Democratic paper last spring, and which so sadly strayed from the fold at the very firet op- portunity it had to “make good” has passed under the control of ‘I'he Sheridan Pablishing Company, with B. J. Sheridan, editor and mansyer Mr. Sheridan bas for more than a quarter ofa century, to our knowl- edge, conducted the Spirit, a stri-tly firetclaes and high grade Democratic paper at Paola, Kan., and if a man ean ron a Democratic paper for that length of time in “Bleeding” Kansas, he fs sure test proof. He oughs t ‘be able to run a Democratic paper in Missouri. From what we know of Mr. Sheridan we believe he is the right man to “fll a lovg-fels want” of the people in this ecction fur a metropolitan Democratic paper. He makes the following promlees in thus t: “The Kansas City Post will bea Demccratic newspaper, through thick. and thin, through sunshine and shadow, through yeare and fat years through defeat and throngh victory, as long as the undersigned has contro! of it.” THAT SLY RESOLUTION. The Republican-Press finds. fault with Superintendent Ives, because he did not give out for publication the long preamble and resolutions adopt- ed by the county teachers institute and claims that the editor of that paper called on Supt. Ives for them, and he had mialaid them. Now will Bro. Funk please explain to the pub lic what particular resolution, or the one bearing upon which particular subject he was eo greatly interested in as to hunt up the Supt. and Insist upon the publication of the whole. Ie is sald the editor of that paper had @ hand in preparing one of those resolutions, a very innocent appear- ing one, which attempted to inject politics into the teacher’s meeting in| garded. @ very ely—devilish sly—manner, that would catch the lady teachers, who asarule are non-partisaue, and all the republicans. Now we have no doubt Supt. Ives will be willing to furnish that particular resolution to Bro. Funk, if not a verbatim copy, at least near enough to convey the full meaning Bro. Funk’ and bis co- workers meant it to convey. We will add however that we have no doubt whatever that Funk has that parti- cular resolution at hand, just as it was presented to that body, and could produce it at his own sweet will, without the assistance of Prof. Iv.8 or anyone else. Two Senators Seek Presidency Pro Tem. Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 3 —There are prospects of a contest between Senator Fielde, of Linn county, and Senator McDavid, of Springfield, over the presidency pro tem. of the Senate. Until the last session of the Legisla- ture{t had been the custom to award this honor to one of the oldest Sena- tors, but since the election of a Re- publican Lieutonant Governor there is something more than honor con- nected with this position, for it means also the arrangement of th jof Japanese coming here intending ! | to become American citizens. The United States wishes nothing ef Cuba except shat it shall prosper, morally and materielly.. I most solemnly abjure the Cubans to weigh their responsibifities and see that their new government runesmoothly and with freedom from f.grant de~ nial of right on one band and from insurrectionary disturbances on the other. \ Itit prove impracticable to enact a law for the dacouragement.ot ship- ping generally, then at least provie- ion should be made for better com- munication with South America. I most earnestly hope that the bill to provide a lower tariff for or else absolutely free trade in Phillippine products will become a law. The man of great wealth owesa peculiar obligation to the state be- cause he derives special advantages from the mere existence of govera- ment. The national government should impose a graduated inheri .| tance tax and it possible a graduat- d income tax. In my judgment the whole ques- tion of marriage and divorce should be relegated to the authority of the national congress. Wilful everility ie from the standpoint of the nation, from the standpoint of the human race, the one sin for which the pun ishment is national death, race death; a ein for which there is no atopement.
