Joseph Silverman Talks to a Young Men’s Association. First of a Series of Lectures—Evolu- tion and Growth of Man—Mater- ialism Denounced Sharply. Rev. Joseph Silverman of New York lectured last night at the BHighth Street |Synagcgue, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, on course of fifteen. Despite the weather a Goodly audience attended. Dr. Silverman | Spoke without notes and diverged from the usual track of pulpit oratory. The audience indorsed all that he said with vigorous applause and hearty hand- |shakings. He said that he had no apology to make for the weather which he had brought along. He took pleasure in speak- ing before the association, because he saw in it the beginning of a new era in Judaism. The world was fluctuating between rank materialism and gross indifference. They were sailing between Scylla and Charybdis; if they shunned materialism they were lost in indifference. Two of the main objects of men were gain and pleasure. It was notorious that the young people were being drawn into these currents and were drift- ing away from the higher ambitions and ideals of life; they were being carried along not by the current which they had created, but by that created by their fathers. They should rise above a sordid love for money, which brought neither bliss nor pleasure,and even itself was uitimately profitless. They should inculcate in their young the nobility of true manhood and true womanhood. This was the aim of true religion. Th was the religion that was blessed in the sight of God. The world was full of skep- ticism because it was full of false re- ligion. False religion was everywhere. Men had a false idea of the basis of religion, @ false idea of God and a false idea of man. He would not engage in a discussion of what a true conception of God is, but he would describe what man is and from this description they might safely build an idea of God. What is Mant The materialist alleged that man was a manifestation of matter; an aggregation of atoms and a movement of molecules. This degraded man into the level of trees and stones. It was not a comforting thought. It crushed out ambition and high thought, and dissipated their admiration for life. For them, the universe had neither heart nor love. This doctrine was unscientific and il- logical. The other doctrine was the theo- logical one. It maintained that God created life, force and matter, made man, lit tne sun and set the planets in their orbits. it taught that the world was a garden in which man might play. This doctrine was @ source of comfort und consolation. It built up confidence between man and God and made men fancy that they were fash- foned in His image. Science had shattered these castles, founded on fancy and builded in the air. Astronomy had shown that the world so far from being the pivot of crea- tion was but a tiny fragment of it, and that man was not the center of life. Stars were coming into being and were jying every hour. Geology proved that the age of the world as narrated in Scripture was wrong. The God of theology was a smail and nar- row God; the god of science was the in- finite god. This thought was progressing. When it began to creep into being the mon- asteries shook as if by earthquake and the priesthood trembled. They read in it their doom. They fought it with the bitterness of intense hate. They waged a war of per- secution on Gallileo, Bruno and Copernicus. Truth struggled for the mastery and error contested every inch. Error died and truth lived. Man was not a special creation. God watched o’er and attended évery nodicum of matter whether within man or without him. All the physical and spiritual world was under the guidance of God. The speaker related the well-known anecdote of Arthur Schopenhauer, the pessimist-philosopher, who answered, when asked who he was, “I am a man, but I know not what that is. I'd give a world to know.” The speaker said we did not know what man was, but we knew the sphere he filled and the relations he ought to sustain, He showed that apparently there was no rela- tion between raw material and finished product; no apparent relation between the violin and its music, the birds and the air, the fishes and the water, the perfect picture and the daubs of color on the artist's palette. Neither was there any apparent conviction between the physical and spirit- ual world. The universe was simply the studio of the universal Maker. Chemistry showed that man was made up of the ele- ments around him. The alkilis and salts and vegetables and mineral properties of which man was composed existed outside of man. Man was what he fed on. There was @ relation between the organic and the inorganic worlds. was a mammal and even the great Couveau could not Prove that man was of an independent or unallied class. The theory of evolution was gush; there was much hysterical opposi- tion to it, but this disproved nor proved nothing. His Evolution. The question which concerned us most was how did man evolve from the animal and how and when did the break called the missing link occur? The animal was stretching out, always eager to see, to hear, to grasp food and improve its shelter. Closely allied to physical evolution was spiritual evolution, but the latter was not developed in the animal, though it was there. We are what our surroundings are. The same law that suggests selec- tion of species suggests selection of food. At the same time that man was working improvements to his physical being his was not inactive. Then there came a period when the spiritual — a ae ane outdid the brain. ie spi qualities advanced, an the head advanced pane became an upright, biped mammal. the break came science cannot demonstrate and perhaps never opment of man would be spiritual. ‘The man of the future would be as su- pertor to the man of the present as the man of the present was superior to the man of the past. Evolution would be in the line of the soul. The chasm between the spirit- ual and the physical world could never be bridged. However closely man was related to the ape, he was infinitely removed from it. Man destroyed and improved species of animal and plant life which God had given us. Each era saw man approach nearer the image of his Maker. Man managed the very elements of nature. He harnessed the forces of heat and gravity, and cohesion, and well-nigh hitched his ‘chariot to the sun. Man was the lord of creation. Man would progress in three ways: Emotionally, morally, and spiritually. Love and friend. ship could be explained only by emotion. If religion expected a millennium it must look to the emotional. The moral nature of man needed development, and {t would have it. Religion had occupied itself too much with creeds and ceremonials, and with a book. Moral life was not a trifle. We need- ed ethical principles instilled into the young heart. Ethics were scarce. Politics were eschewed by men of morals, because Doli- tics were immoral, and they were immoral because men were so. Men hungered too much for gains. Ethics were wanted in the Sunday schools and churches. We should ery, lorals! and not “Feith! Faith!” The third line of man's develop- ment must be intellectually. This was an age when we boasted of intellect. We must do away with pretended education and put an end to pedantry. We must turn to true intellectual work. Let us not be a nation of pretenders. ——_—___ Ex-Secretary Rusk Ill. The condition of ex-Secretary Jeremiah M.

ALEXANDRIA, The power of the county judge over the county finances has been for some time a vexed question in the board of supervisors of Alexandfia county. The majority of the} |and so genera] that the notion that local board of supervisors contend that, under the law, they are the representatives of the People in the control of the money raised by taxation, and that they have the right to refuse, for any reason that seems to them just, the payment of a bill against the county for official or other service, al- though the judge of the county court may have approved the same. Judge Chichester, in common with most of the county judges jim the commonwealth, holds that he has the right to determine the validity of any bill against the county, and to direct its payment. At the recent session of the court Judge Chichester certified several ac- counts to the treasurer for payment; there- upon the board of supervisors made applica- tion to the circuit court of Judge Keith for a writ of prohibition restraining the county judge from certifying accounts to be paid to the treasurer. This application Was supported in an argument before Judge Keith yesterday by Hon. John Critcher and Supervisor Phillips, and was opposed by State Senator Moore of Fairfax, ex-Senator Smith of Alexandria, and Hon. A. W. Arm- strong. Judge Keith took the question un- der advisement. St. Paul's Church windows last night il- luminated the neighborhood, and a throng f elite Alexandrians within witnessed the mari of Mr. Emmit C. Dunn of the Richmond and Danville railroad office and Miss Mary Reid, the daughter of Col. L. W. Reid, late of the Treasury Department. Rev.

He leaves a young wife, whom he married about a year ago. Consumption was the cause of his death. The Masonic lodge of this village, of which he was a member, will meet this evening for the purpose of taking suitable action on his death. The youngest daughter of Mr. Alexander Johnson met with a serious accident in this village yesterday. She was returning to school in Mr. Emmons’ carriage with two other children, when a hat belonging to one fell upon the road, and in attempting to get into the conveyance, after recovering the hat, caught her left leg in one of the wheels and badly mashed it. The colored driver was not aware that she had gotten out of the carriage. She was taken to Garfield Hospital in Washington, where her leg was amputated.

Ex-President Harrison talked freely to a reporter last evening at Indianapolis upon the result of the elections. “I find not only Sratification and comfort, but downright rejoicing in the handsome result,” said he. “The republican triumph was so sweeping causes might have figured largely in the result is hardly tenable. Everything went republican—that is, everything in the free part of the country--showing very clearly that general causes were at work. This demonstrates that the faith of the people in the industrial system was not lost, but only weakened, and has been renewed with redoubled strength. The chief cause was undoubtedly the general industrial depres- sion, The people have had presented to them a sharp comparison between the two systems. They have been brought within a year from a change of the highest pros- perity to what we have now presented to us on all sides, not by the operation of a duferent system, but by the anticipation of it. We have had what might be termed one of Mr. Cleveland's object lesson, The Pension Question. “Then, there have been one or two addi- tional causes that have had some effect. There has been among the ex-soldiers, not only as organizations, but as individuals, a feeling of deep resentment at the conduct of the pension bureau. When Mr. Cleveland first came in his Postmaster General put into practice the method of removals by secret charges without a hearing for the accused. It is the pursuit of his method in part in the pension bureau that has aroused indignation. The soldiers are in thorough sympathy with the idea of purg- ing the pension rolls in a proper manner. They have no desire to countenance any fraud upon the government, but the idea of making suspensions first and investigations afterward they do not believe proper. Four or five years ago it was not the fact that Mr. Cleveland vetoed private pension bills so much as the way he did it that made his vetoes unpopular. Another cause that entered into the result was undoubtedly a certain amount of soreness on the part of the aspirants for office and thelr friends. ‘That is something that every adminstration must face right in the beginning, and Mr. Cleveland is feeling the effect of it. “When Gov. McKinley was here on Me- morial day he said to me that he thought circumstances were such that he would have to run again this year, and I said to him that anybody running on the republi- can ticket this year might consider himself peculiarly fortunate, for I felt certain that there would be a reaction that would sweep the country.” The Protection Policy. . “The result, you think, has tended to strengthen the republican party’s belief in its protective policy?” “There has never been any weakening in its faith. I said in my last message to Congress that this generation had had no experience with a low tariff policy, and it seems to be a fact that the experience of one generation does not go far toward teaching another. But I notice now that even those who have been consistent advo- cates of free trade upon the ground that a protective policy smacks of paternalism are now advocating that public works be pushed, in order that men may be given employment, which I believe a very proper thing. I have always held that one of the highest aims of government should be to, {f possible, so regulate its affairs as to keep its people employed. It preserves men's self-respect and conduces to higher order of citizenship. “There is no more pathetic sight in the world than a strong, honest, able and in- dustrious man, willing to work, and seek- ing work in vain. The present condition tends to the loss of self-respect on the part of the men driven to poverty, and to dis- content with the natural and established order of things. “TI can readily see how a man can advo- cate free trade without any impeachment of his intelligence or motives, but I cannot see how men of intelligence can teach that Wwe may pass from such a policy as is em- bodied in the McKinley law to such a one as was foreshadowed in the Chicago plat- form without the greatest disaster and hardship. The necessary readjustment of business in anticipation of such a radical change naturally lessens production here, REPUDIATED ITS LEADERS. A Republican’s Comment on the Ac- tion of New York Democrats. The democratic party of New York has repudiated its leaders, writes “Holland,” the New York correspondent of the Phila- Adelphia Press, has shown that a machine, while it may be a good thing up to a cer- tain point, is worthless when it passes the | limits of honor and decency. Democrats went to the polls yesterday voting with proud defiance the straight republican | ticket, proclaiming that act after they left the polls, and declaring that they had done this because the republican ticket was a better democratic ticket than that of their own party. 4 “Holland” describes a scene at the Union Club Tuesday night. The result wrought ex- Mayor Hewitt up to a state of fine exhilara- tion and excitement as there gathered about him at the Union Club a company of men, most of them of democratic persuasion, who listened to a conversation which had all the eloquence of a prepared speech. The ex-mayor’s eyes were very bright, his cheeks were flushed and his voice clear and trlumphant as he said: “I have done to- day what I never thought I should be com- pelled to do; I have voted a republican ticket; not a scratch ticket, but u clean ie- publican ticket, and voted it as a democrat, because my democracy has compelled me to repudiate that false thing which has been masquerading in this state as the demo- cratic party. “What we have seen today is the finest manifestation of the higher democratic spirit which has been seen in this country since the days when men forgot party and stood shoulder to shoulder for the Union. We have been imperiled almost as greatly, more insidiously, and therefore more dan- gerously, than we were in 1861. “In the name of the democratic party men have committed theft, the most heinous of all thefts, for it deprived the people of a istrict in this state of their right of choice of their rulers, and these harlequin democrats, who have held the party by the throat, rewarded that act by demanding of the people indorsement of it. They have their reward tonight. They have seen that machines and fraud and treason and in- surrection such as occurred at Coney Island will be rebuked by the people as they were in 1861, and it is the highest duty of a dem- ocrat to stand with those who were for the Iudiation of these things.” “Phey clapped and cheered when Mr. Hew- itt thus spoke, and it was a strange thing ‘tn those parlors, where enthusiasm is usually suppressed and quiet courtesy pre- vails, to see men of democratic faith giving their tributes to these sentiments by their applause. Mr. Hewitt, becoming more earnest and vehement, went on to say: “The infamy = by John Y. McKane at Corey sland was treason; he rebelled against the mandates of the courts, and did it in the mame of the democratic party. If I had gone to serve upon him the injunction of our supreme court, and he had arrested me and put me under lock and key in an inde- cent place as he did Col. Bacon, I would have felt justified in shooting him if I had had a revolver. “I do not Mke noise; I never fired a Weapon more than once or twice in mv life; but I should have felt that there would have been justification in attempting the life of @ man who used physical violence toward me to prevent service of the mandates of the courts.” Of course In his cooler moments Mayor Hewitt might not have been so extreme in his utterances as that. and vet there Is no doubt that the feeling is general that if the nersons who annesred under authority of the courts in McKane’s satrapry to pre- vent fraud had met McKane's violence by physical violence in return they would have been justified. ed ———_+-e+______ REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT.
