The Rev. I’ B. Morgan, Rector of 8t. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church, corner of Washe Inzton and Carpenter strects, preachied last evening on *' The Character, Signtfizance, and Treatment of Communiam,” We were appris- ed as far back as 1343, he eald, of tho existence of sccret political socievles In Europe having for their objoct the overthrow of oxlsting Qov- ernments, but It was not untfl the Franco- Prussian War was concluded that France woke up oue morning and found Parla in the hands of the Cominune. The autbreak might ap- parently have been nipped in the bud, but the volitical * parties sald, *Dotter let them nlone,—let them - talk.” Dut, true to the " law which governs _ communities, when they had listened sufficlently to in- flammatory speeches, tha people became heated, and were ripe for the frenzy which selzed them, ‘Then came a demonstration of the meaning of Communiem, Hy a merciful Providence the tide was stayed, or the scenes of '8 would have been re-cnacted. After this came a lull, ‘The matter was talked of by the journals of this mun:r(} but they were blamed for belng alarmists, No one could belleve such dangera were in store for us, But the earthquake came, Wensked what was tho matter, and were tolil there were strikes; then that the cars had stopped,—that the rallroad tracks wers belng torn up, and property was being destroyed, Aud we learned that what wascalled Com- munism was a terrible reality, Men looked each other fn the face and nsked how it came nbuut,—what it meant. There could ex- ist mo soclal or polltical phenomena that had not fts cause. Popular discussions were the parents of revolutions. We hiad only to understand lhorouzm{ the moral clements entering into the discussions in order to deter- mine with a good measure of certainty what we might expect to be the final result. In the csti- mation of our most scholarly and sble propuet- fcal studcnts, this strange outburst of populnr feeling of what might be called Jawless, was In accordance with the prophetic utterances of the New Testament, The Communists made war not merely uoon property, not merely upon the existing state of soclety, but azainst all forins ot Christianity.

W, A, BPENCER. *Caln's Question, and Cbleagd's Answer," was tho subject of the sermon dellvered by tho Rev, W. A. Spencer at tho Ulark Streot Math- odist Church last evening, the text Lelng from Genesls, Iv., 9, as follows: Aund the Lord rald unto Caln: thy brathor* And b my brother's keepor? Clycaro, tho spcaker sald, had given various answers to this question. At one time criminals escape [rom punishment, even though innocent blood ery out from tle grouud 3 at another, the demands of Justice are honul‘y wet, and rood men breatho easler at the result, Webster once sald that the greatest thoupht that ever entered, bis mind was that ol his personal responsibitity to Gud, ond - the text quoted above opensd a wide department of this thonght to nil, not only regurding personal responsibility for their own acts, but for tne acts und wellare of thelr fel- low-men. Hoclety was supposed to gusrantee to all ite members phyelcal enfety, incn- tal culture, and rehipfous ficedom. The abscuce of any of thess Is a positive evil, and the wmoclety which cannot furnish i Is in so far a failure ora fraud. The unusual event of the past woek that has moved tho ¢ity wasn profound surprise to both good and bad. ‘The surprise wasnot that unprovoked murder had oceurred in Chilcagn, but that the lageard law had overtaken two criminals, and thint justic had boen deaf to_seutimental ap- peals. Murder has become suflictently common to awaken littlo surprise and less horrorat its cruelty justico alone had the power to surprise people. 1n the words of the Bible: ** Because scutence agalust an ovll work {8 not executed speedily, thoreforo are the hearts of tha chile dren of men fully sut inthem to do ovil,” The truth of this was'illustrated by the condunt of the men how in the |]nu accused of murnder. ‘Fncy regard tha execution of two of thelr num- ber with indifference, belleviug, what the clty hus reason to fear, that this svasm of consclence will s0ou pass awav, and that fn thejrecoll they Wil escape the penalty of duath demanded by law, human and divive. In order to presorve eace and protect the innocent, penalties for the niraction of law must bo sure and fuevitable, for nothing so certamly fmpcrils Wl as tho growth of a rosc-tinteéd senthmentality that Pitics tho murderer more than his viethn,. Such 8 sentimentality assists a defending counsel to revent o !lu:r. verdict, and alds the condemned n having his sentence delayed, eommuted, or cancoled, Every unjust pinion vosts half a dozeu lives, and’ senttmental mierey gives new courute (o the assassin, The wholo " jury sys tem of this country was wrong, as an’ elective political judielury multiplied the J)mh:blllly ot the escane of a rich criminal, and making ex- lu:rlu of voor unlettered nobodles, The law executive work needed to protect the poor one which will let no rich man escape punish- ment for erime on_account of hls wealtn; that shall bo least lenlent to the most intuential, ‘The Btate is reaponsiblo tor lify, and ought to protect the weakest, {llullu\vlng refentlessty e strungest and wealthiest erimiuals with jus- tico Impartisl and swift.

Compulsocy oducation would dareely do away with crime, ar st least leave tho criminal witbout excuse, Most of the crime to- day s committed by men of foreiru birth—that portion of the beuple who kuow the least about o language and taws of thls country, It was duu to these men that this excuss for crime stould bs taken away, ‘The second elemcnt of proveution is that cvery wan shall bu (n his right mind.

ROM 1TS ORIGINAL CAUSR, The Rov. J. W. Custis preached at the Michl- gan Avenue Baptist Church last evenlog, taking a8 his subject, * Communism,” and his toxt from Ecclesiastes v,, 8-0. If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of. judgment and justice in & rovince, marvel not at that inatter: for Ha that is feher than the highest regardeth; and there be higherthan \h:(; Mareaver, the profit of the earth 18 for ail: the King himself 1s served by the fleld. Tha text was o warning agalust the Injustice and wronk to those who are placed in authority, the reverend gentleman sald, It was natural, considering the elements which entered into soclety and nolitits, that thelr should he op- pression and wrong'on all hands in the carrying on of our form _of government and In the ad- ministration of law, The petty officlal was the most oppressive and the greatest wrong-duer, but he was subject to his superlor offlcer, an the superforofiicer subject to the sunreme ruler, The text mado two vury clear and strong decla- rations: first, the (ncxcusableness of injustice and violence, and, second, the inallenability of tuman rights,—ths right to work and enjoy the profits of our labor. Communism in its infld- st form sct at defiancethese deciarations, hence 1t was very natural fo find that the pulplt every- where was arraved agalnst it. It was an evil, and practleally proposcd to rob him and avery one else, on Lhe theory that the nmpertfl of the cnu:try‘mlunud to tfio people and ought to he equally distributed, To carry out such an idea would” be nothing but robbery, the Apeaker thought, and then passed on to coasider the origlu and cause of Communism. Poverty, jealousy, cnvy, passion, avarice, iznorance, an crime, were at tha bottom of It, but the pravail- {ng cause, howwever, hie thought, was rum. Rum begat porerty, and, under the head of poverty, pastion, nnd (utemperance, the growth of the vil could be explained. Tho speaker proceedea to speak of the hfs- tory of Communism abroad aud at home, tak- Ing the ground that it was a8 otd as suclety it- sclf. It bad been engralted on Amerles, and was fed and nurcarcd by the influx of knmi- rants. In this country, however, its erowth iad been a very sickly oug, and in this connec- tion he desired 1o draw s lué between Com- munism and thie Trades-Unluns, Some of the Unlons, made up of fureigners, wers danzerous, because they had brougat with them unrcpuh- lican fdeas, but from Communism he believed there was danger to bas apprebended, for they clearlymeantrevolution,tho tearing up of soclety, and were already tlaunuing thelr red flags in onr faces, It was about time we hnd begun to look about for & remedy. ‘Tho popular {des was that lead would correct the ovil, but the remedy was a3 bad ns tha disease,andcould not bo tolerated, He closed by suggesting that justice to the workingmen, and the remodeling of our State laws so that the honest luborer would not bs brought futo cootact and competition with vounviet labor, would mo far toward remedying the trouble. Ie wanted to sec our cruininals puulshed, but ho did not want to see them o tax or embargo on houest labor, and 8180 to ace the laws so cnacted thot thera would no louger bo any privileced classes, The rich and poor and high and low should be on an equal footing, and it sbould not be longer the rule that money would purchaso iresdom from punishment for the rich aud the educated, Tho preacing of the Gospel, and the pushiog of popular cducation, and tho ralsing of the lowly to an appreciation of thelr iranhoul, he said, would eyontually cradicate Communlsm and Dless us with a Leitor Uovernmeat aud & mora harmonlous people. TI¥ DEATH PENALTY. SERMOX OT TIE REV. J. I, WALKEI. The Rov. J. H. Watker proached last evening io the Reunlon Preabyterfan Church, Four- tcenth, near Loomls sircet, on the lcasons of tho Sberry and Connelly exccutlon.

He alluded to thosolemuity of ‘thése judiclal life-takings, and sald that tho idea of the law was to provent. crimo. 1la ailuded to the feoble adiniulstrution of justice heretofore, and satd that even tho death penalty haa lost its torrors to thocriminal classea, 1o referred to twelve men belog yet lu Julf awalting trial for murder as a terelbls exam- I}ln of the provalence of crime. He went vver ricfly tha lives of 8herry and Connelly while In Joll; tucir bravado and ‘obscenity untll withina few dnys of thelr death,~untll they knesw that they would be hung. 1o then brleflj referred to the murder for which thesc men bad beon ex- ceuted, and gave a short history of the crime, Toey hud niade light of thele crime, and liad denled their gullt, and had even cursed the lawyers wno had defended thew. He thon cama to the relizlous aspect uf the case,—how thess meu bad becomo reaigned to death a day or two batore thelr exceutlon, and cxvected to onter Heaven frum the scalfold,—~thut the gate was open to them. e appreclated thu sulemnity oud gravity of this guestion, and, therefore, perhaps would tako aldes arainst the oplulons of certain well-meaning persons. Thers wero man shall ble Uod mada e men who ralled &t justice; but there was no cruelty in ustice whero it was used Tor goo guvernment, Men who raited at _earthly fustico would also rall ot the justice of God. " Tas speaker graph- fcally pictured tho horror of murder, sud the stricken lmml‘v terrorlzed with thelr sudden grief, From this he argued the lustico of tne death peunafty,—the taking of life for life. Good government demanded that the munlerer should explato bls crimo by death. Chicago was safer to-day for tnese cxocutions, Human lifa was nold miore sacred through them. It was tho purpose of tho law to protect {nuo- cenco nod virtue, and to punisn crime, Bueery und Conaelly should not be mnr!{rhcd by atlowing other murderers to escape, whether rich or poor, Boclety fu Cnlcago was better lor theao executlons.f God loved justice, aud loved happlness of judividuals siso.

TNE SUPREME COURT INTIMATES THERE WAS XO REDUCTION OF OAPITAL, The Jegal News of Baturday published {n ful? the opinfon of the Buprems Court In tho case of A, L. Chetiain, administrator of Walker, deceased, vs, The Republic-Life Iusurance Com- pany. It appears from the record that Walke subscribed for 500 sharcs of the Insurance stoc at $100 each, and as » payment of 20 per cent thereon the Company permitted him to execute his notes therofor, drawing {nterest paysble five ycars after date, and he executed a deed of trust on property In tho city to sccure the pay- ment of principal and Interests Walker, In his lifetime, pald $400 of interest on this indebted- uess, Having died fnotestate, appellant was duly appointed the administrator of his estate, and the money not having been pald, appelles filed a bill against the administrator, widow, and helrs of Walker, to foreclose the deed of trust and subject tho trust property to sala for tho payment of this Indebtedness, Answers nnd a cross-oiil wero filed, and a trial was had on the original oill, nnswers, replications, exhibits, nngumon. Tha Court found that there was due, on the notes for urincival and interest, the sum_of $14,457.50, and ordered Ita payment in ten days, and fn default thercof that te prom- ises Lo sold, subject to redemption, and the proceeds of the anle he n{\nl(ud {o discharge the decrec, and, If not sufliclent, that the unpal balance_be paid in duc course of administra- tlon. From that decree the adminlstrator avpealed. 1n defense, he urged the mlsap- propriation of fuuds by the Compauy in the purchase of tha Republic Lifo Bullding and the atfonal Life-Insuranza Comvany, and the re- duction of the capital stack of the Company. The Court declded that the two first pleas were not zood, for the reason that Walker and the mlm(,ulo&nmr had slopt on their rights, If they ever had any, 1n relation to tha third plea,~the reduction of capital,—tho Court said: Asto the last polnt, —that the Company redaced their capital stock without the coneent of Walker, —we do not see that it existeas & matter of fact. ‘The resolutions sliow that the Directors wero an- thorized to | certidcates of pald-up atock to those who had pald 20 per cent on thelr subscrio- tions for an Rmount eqaal to the sum thns paid, ‘This in no senss diminlahea the amount of the ) slock of the Company. \Where a person ctibod for, #ay, ten shares, and had paid nd was_wiiling to recatve s certificate for two sbaret, of 8100 ench, and cancel his subsceip- tion for the ten sharce, the other elght til] be. longed to the Company. and they could sell them 10 whom they lnlkrlt choose.
