Dr. Ely’s Lecture at the Friends’ Meet- ing House—Seciclogy and the Golden ule, “Social Aspects of Christianity” was the subject of a suggestive lecture yesterday afternoon at the Friends’ Meeting House by Dr. Kichard T. Ely, the associate professor of political economy at Johns Hopkins University. It was the fourth lecture in the course given under the auspices of the Wash- ington Branch of Collegiate Aiumme. The repu- ‘tation of the lecturere as a writer on social topics brought together an andience of well-known writers and thinkers and teachers. In order to show the Gospel idea of the relations which should exist between men, the lecturer read passages from the Bible. He said that theology and soci- ology divides the teachings of the Bible, the relations of men to God and to their fellows. He read the reply of Christ made to the lawyer who asked him what was the sum of the command- ments. Christ said there were two great com- mandments which embraced them all, namely, to Jove God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as Yourself. ‘The lecturer thougnt that it was evident that the ents of Uhls world were not in accordance with the iden rule. He maintained that the church paid little attention to the latter command. So- cialism and communism were condemned TO PLEASE THR RICH. Some preachers maintained that Christ's com- mand to the rich young man to give his weaith to the people was not intended to be taken literally. ‘They believed that it was commanded that a man should give up his wife and his children, if neces- sary, for Christ's sake, but to give up money, oh! no: that Was never intended. Prof. Ely thought Uhat the gospel of duty to one’s fellows was quite as important as the duty toGod, and he was of the ‘opinion one-half or two-tairds of the time now devoted in theological seminaries to the study of theology should be given to the study of sociology, \d That hese seminaries should become the in: Teliectual centers of sociology. He said that since Une Protestant reformation the church had done absolutely nothing in political economy, and he attributed the small progress made by the church Yo the neglect of tals subject. It was diMcuit to distinguish in the markets of the world between a Christian and @ man of the world. To the question of whether a Christian can buy “futures” in the stock-market there would be nO doubtful answer ifs much time Was given to the study of the gospei relations between men as to the question of the proper mode of baptist, THE WORKING PEOPLE. ‘The lecturer then referred to such questions as the condition of the Working people as viewed from the gospel standpotnt, and sald that even the Urvubiesome servant-girl question was capable of solution. He spoke of a lauy who always. prayed for guidance as to her duty toward her servant ana Said that he thought this would be conside ‘ novel Way of looking al the matter. As a further Allustration of the neglec: of the church of this Fonpel, he sald that the hymns of the church were iy Individual and Telated to the duties to God. ‘and not the duties to men. He read the first few ‘Verses of the hymn ““A charge to keep I have,” and a lady tm the audience suggested that he read the last verse. ‘The lecturer said that while there ‘were exceptions still It was true that the church ‘hymns were largely individual. He advocated in church the absence of all that causes a caste ‘Spirit, that awakes envy, and creates a worldly spirit. He urged 9 consideration for the poor and unfortunate, a cultivation of platness in dress. He said that thé custom of renting church pews had Drought about a system of private property in the louse of God. ‘The rich had habitually ‘THE BEST SEATS in church, when, on the contrary, the poor, who are the guests of the church, should have the best weats, The command of Christ, the speaker said, Yo the rieb, to seek out the poor and give them feasts, was BUIl in force. It is, however, main- Yatned that it is impossible for’ men to maintain Luemselves in the business world If they live up to Christian principles. Ap effort shouid be made, the lecturer thought, to change the world. He ‘bought that the life ot Christians outalde of the ghureh ‘should conform to Christian principles, ‘There are women and chlidren who are Ueing over. worked; there are evils of intemperance to be combatted; there are wnement sections in the Feformed, and in a great many cities to. be other uirections there 1 pleuty of work to be done, but eee few workers, A VERDICT YOR §1,000.—In the case of Hess Donually. by his tather, agt Gen We Glee qmenle, for injuries by falling In au unprotected areaway of one Of defendant's houses on 11th L northwest, tried in the Cireuit the jury last evening found a verdict tor 1,000 damages” ‘The Jury were given ‘and not hav- ‘The Courts, Cour? ix Gaxenat Tra.

T believe that the solution of the question les in the middle ground between radicalism and conservatism.” MR. CROFFUT'S PLATFORM. He then introduced Mr. Croffut, who, in his ten minutes of introduction, presented his platform of thirteen planks ina clear, candid, frank manner. Among other things, he held that the rich are not becoming richer nor the poorer: that the World ts" better of to-day than ever before, and the condition of men will Improve in proportion to their skill and work; that the confiscation of land Would diminish the incentive to exertion; that all kinds of cheap labor 1s a good thing for the coun- try; that the wealthiest men in this country own practically no land at all, and the law taxing only jand would enrich them’ suli more; and that the established system of the competiiion of individ~ uals results from the evolution of the race, and 13 benevolent and the best conceivable system, He called attention to a diagram that hung on the wall, which, he claimed, showed that four hours of labor to-Gay will buy a8 much as eight hours in 1s80, ‘THE SOCRATIC DEBATE. Mr. Bowen announced that the committee se- lected by the society, Messrs. Burbage and Adams and himself, had prepared certain questions which would be read. Mr. Burbage opengg fire by saying that he would try Uo lead Mr. Croffit along a line of thought on which they should agree unul they Should “reach a point on which they could not agree, and then it would be proper to dis- cover the reason for the difference of opinion. He started at the — basis of economic argument, the tarlff, and Mr.Croffut acknowledg that ue believed in ‘free trade. AS he proceeded his questions became longer and more Involved, unt Mr. Croffut remarked, “I wish there were not So much argument In the Stomach of these ques- tons.” Mr. Burbage asked, “Is it ethically or mor- ally right for Government to grant exclusive Tights Uo persons wo trade?” “No.” “Would you a perpetual patent to the Inventor of a new nine?” “No.” Then followed a rupning fire of economte terms, under Whica Mr. Croffut stood up bravely, now aifirming, now denying and some- tmes qualitying. HOLDING LAND FOR A RISE. He claimed that it was legitimate and econom!- cally proper for land owners to allow their property to remain vacant if they were holding it for andn- crease of price. The gain which they realize at Solue future time is the premium that society pays to the man who risks bis Wealth, and the loss that omes is the penalty. “Suppose that all iand were left vacant, where Would your taxes come from?” asked Mr. Burbage. “Suppose all the men and women on earth were engaged in baking bread, wher: would the taxes Splrators; a man Who, together with other demo- cratic time-serving declared the war to be the failure he Sndea to make it; aman Wwhg, ag a member of © sought to embar- Tass the Government in its ‘and a man who discouraged enlistments in the Union army by loading the volunteer Union soldier with op- robrious epithets; a man who bartered for arms to de used in | revolutionary. uprising of secret reasonable societies, organized for the purpose 0 wresting Indiana from the Ui even at. the expense of a bloody domestic war; in fine, aman ‘who, while acting the part in war of the enemy of the Union soldier, now, in peace, relying upon the oblivion of forgetrulness, poses as his friend, and, through fulsome flattery, seeks his sul is ‘The New Jersey democratic state convention yesterday adopted a resolution recognizing the wisdom of the renomination of President Cleve- land.

MR. BOWEN’S QUESTIONS, Mr, Bowen then took up the cudgel and, going upon the answers of Mr. Croffut, given to Mr. Burbage’s questions as a basis, he endeavored to narrow the debate down to the direct principles ineontention. Taking up Mr. Croffut's position on the tariff he found out that he believed in a tariff for revenue only as an expedient to raise money. He had already said that he objected to tariff because it raised the cost of the necessities of life. “Then,” asked Mr. Bowen, “why not de- vise a Way that will raise the taxes and not inter- fere with labor?” “That would be very well,” was the reply, “but | I should confine the taxes to street-car companies and to gus Companies, and to other such monopo- — ‘Is not the exclusive ownership of and a fran- chise, and as such a monopoly retort. “No,” came the prompt reply. Mr. Bowen succeeded once or twice in getting Mr. Croffut down on Lis. knees, through some quick turn of questioning, but even in this posture, Mr. Bowen's antagonist still tought valiantly, qualifying his answers with a skill and forethougiit that was remarkable. A WARM DEBATE. ‘The colloquy between Mr. Adams and Mr, Croffut Produced several “fssues,” which were left unde- cided, the debate becoming at times to be so warm as tocall forth a remonstrance from the Senator. At balf-past 10 both sides had agreed to disagree 6a certain fundamental principles, and the debate was closed. The thanks of the soclety were given to Senator Palmer and to Mr. Croffut, and the iat- ter Was invited to take up the weapons at Some ume with ‘she positions reversed. | President brown announced that at next Thursdayés meet- ing Mr. Chas.

Rev. Wm. Brush, of Dakota, made along and edrnest plea in favor of the admission of women. Rev. Dr. Theodore F. Flood, editor of the Chautan- quan, argued that as women are admitted to the learned professions and to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States, it ts right that the con. ference should ad:nit them. Rev. Dr. J. 1. Buck- ley, editor of the Christian Advocate, sustained the report. He sald the question did not turn upon | the rights of women, but upon a principle, He did not know anything, he said, in Methodist history tat tells thei that womel should be ad- | mitted, He reterred to the Episcopalians, the Baptists ond Presbyterians, who did not admit women into their conferences, and claimed that there was not_a denomination in the world that Would admit women, He did not consider tat Woman was tn her piace in such an assemblage. ‘There 18 nothing in the constitution of the church that gives them the right to «seat, Dr. Buc read a letier from Senator George which he described the mode of procedure in the Senate when a seat ts contested, ‘Tue speaxer sald he stood to champion the holy cause of woman, but he also stood to challenge the right of women to representation In the body until the members of their sex had an opportuuity to express their opinion on the subject.

HIS PROTECTION ARGUMENT IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY. ‘Mr. Dingley, of Maine, made an able presenta- ‘Uon Of the protectionist side of the tariff question in the House after Tur Stan's report closed yes- terday. He controverted the assumption of the | President and Mr. Mills that duties on imported | articles which can be produced here to the extent | 2: of Our Wants Were a tax Which increased the bur- dens of the consumer to the extent or nearly to the extent of the duty, and he argued that, on the | contrary, such duties’ benefited the consumer by | ¥ encouraging home industries and securing pro- ducts for less labor or service. He asked on what ground a Dill which professed to remove taxes on hecessaries of lite had placed a duty of 100 cent on Southern rice and 68 per cent on Southern sugar. The bill proposed to pl pulp, manufactured lumber, and Catladian farm products on the free list onthe that they Were raw materials, but left a duty on such arti- cles a8 coal and iron ore. Why, he asked, should the labor of the farmer in producing wool, pota- Loes, beans, &¢., and the labor of the Workinan 1m Manufacturing’ lumber, wood pulp, and lime be un] and labor in other industries protected? Reterring vo the charge that clionists were hostile to trade, he said this was not true, ‘They did oppose surrendering our nome markets, which were the most valuable in the world.

This claim ts based upon certain firmly-established facts, which are well worthy the consideratich of all persons Interested tn com. municating With the public in regard to any busi Ress proposition whatever, It rests primarily on ‘the broad and solia foundation that Tux Stak cir. culates In the city Where printed a larger number of copies in proportion to: population than any Paper in the world. And not only is its circulation the largest and fuitest, ut it ts also the wrest, since the paper goes not alone into the hands of the People of the District of Columbia asa body, bus Anto their homes, —into the families of all lasses, and into those of the money-spending as well as ‘(he mouey-earning portion of the community larger ratio than any daily journai ot weneral circulation that can be namet. By reason of the fullness, freshness, and reliability of its news local, domestic, and foreign, Its independent and fair treatment of all public questions, Its int gent and effective devotion to local interests, and its close attention to matters witn which tae household, and especially its lady members, are concerned, THE Stan 1s everywhere recognized and admitted to be, in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work. Lop, and ae family circle. In support of these statements attention ts Ia vited to the tablesbelow. ‘They not only show the circulation and advertising patronage of the paper for the several years named, but, by the remarka- ble increase shown tn both departments tn each month over the corresponding mouth in the pro- Vious year, they also filustrate, in the most for- cible manner possible, the esteem im which the Paper is held in the city of Its home, and by those Who are best able to Judge of tts merits as a news- Paper and tts value as an advertising medium.
