It is not because he re- fuses to wear the same kind of clothes that we do and swear with the same style of profanity that we use. It s because he is an offense against human decency. He is an outrage upon humanity. He is a shameful anachronism. He is a beast dwelling in the cities of men. When we that Christian civilization should put him out, we do not ure the word Christian in any narrow sense, but with that large and racial which, in the process of history, it has ac- quired, having come to be synonomous with everything that is wholesome and pure and tri in human life. The bottomless pit of heathen immorality can hardly be guessed by one who has not learned with his face directly over it. There have been inqui tiong and bastiles and other unpleasant evi- dences of human tigerishness in so-called Clristian countries, but even the worst of these grow pale before the daily abominations of unspeakable cruelty and unsatiable lust that may be read in the daily annals or Turkish life This outrage in Armenla, the beginning of the end. destroy they first r the unavoidable let us hope, s Whom the gods mad. It has been destiny of every criminal and of every unholy and’ tyrannical govern- ment to be plunged forward by a sort of madness into still denser and deeper out- rages until the end and punishment of their shameful career comes as the natural result of their own actions. The humane spirit of civilization in Christendom cannot much longer keep restraining hands off the Satyr upon the Bosphorous. hing but questions of mutual dipiomatic jealousy keep the powers of Burope today from removing the Turkish government and esablishing a Chris- tian suzerainty. The Mountains in Labor.—For the past few years the Methoaist Episcopal church has been filled with the outcries of contending fa tions upon the woman question. The diffi- culty arose by the question coming up to whether a woman could be a delegate to the general conference. As these are the dull thnes of peace and prosperity, the great knights of theological debae, being irksom because of their rusting swords, saw an ex- celient opportunity for an entertaining joust As a consequence acres and acres of articles have been written, boundless Saharas of edi- torial arguments have been produced, wide and bolsterous seas of oratory have been let loose, all upon the question as to whether a woman has a right to sit in the lawmaking bedy of the Methodist Episcopal church. Very few, with the e: ption of certain redoubt- able and combative leaders who are never so happy as when fighting, bleeding and dying for some tremendous principle, have cared a twopence as to whether women went to the general conference or not. If the battle cry had never been raised, probably a few would have been elected and nothing would have been thought of the matter. The whole issue would have sunk into merited obscurit But as long as there are Don Quixotes we must have wind mills. While there are ncho Panzas we must have lslands to govern. When we reflect upon the amount f space that so-called religious papers have levoted to such burning questions as indi- vidual communion cups and en in the gen 1 conference, while indifference, a nosticism and rampant lelity are’ bat- tering at the very doors of Christian belief, we seem to s ain the cture of the no- bility in the f Louls XVI., flushed and ame of hide-and-go-seek in the gardens of Fontainbleau, while the neg- lected people were brewing for them the cup of destructive wrath. That so m time and thought and space should be de- voted to these trivial, not to say silly, mat- ters 18 food for profund humiliation The Battle Cry of Freedom.—The world moves. And its steps are pathetic. The days of red-hot loyalty stirred up with the blood and smoke and rour of battle are fading more and more into the past. One of the most picturesque figures of that time has recently passed away at his home at Bafley's island, uear Portland. Me.. on the 6th of this month of August, 1895, George Frederick Root was not a great musician as Handel or Beethoven, but a simple creator of folk-songs. He did not fight for his country with the arts ot generaiship as did Grant and Sherman, nor with musket and saber as did many a brave boy who mnow sleeps beneath a waving mound on the banks of the Rappahannock, but he lifted his voice as a clear bugle and gave to the loyal north a note that rallied its latent sentiment of patriotism. All of Mr. Root's writinge were of the “Sunday school” varfety, such as we are accustomed to look down upon with superior scorn, but the great people caught his song and to the swing of their melody the armies of liberty marched forth to conquer. Tt fa enough glory for one man to have written ‘“Tramp. Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching" and “The Battle Cry of Freedom.” The success of a popular song seems to be In the hands of God. No mortal composer can tell where the arrow which he shoots will light. The origin of that great song, “The Battle C of Freedon,” Is as interesting as its subs quent history. Tn his hook, “The Story of a Musical Life,”” Mr. Root says of this song: “The nk was hardly dry when the Lumbard brothers—the great singers of the war— came in for something to sing at a war meet- Ing that was to be holden immediately in the court house square, just opposite. They went through the new song once and then hastened to the stepe of the court house, followed by a crowd that had gathered while practice was going on. Then Jules' magnificent voice gave out the song and Frank's trumpet tones led the refrain, ‘The union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah,’ and at the fourth verse thou- sands of voices were joining in the chorus. From there the song went into the army and the testimony in regard to Its use in the camp and on the march, and even on the fleld of battle, from soldiers and officers, up to generals, and even to the good president himeelf, made me thankful that if T could not shoulder a musket in self-defense of my country I could serve her in this wa: One of these Lumbard brothers still re- mains in the clty of Omaha and seems to carry upon his shoulders the memory of all that stirring time. But a few vears and he, as all of us, must disappear to join the great majority. But the sentiment of liberty and love for this great and happiest of all human governments will continue throughout the changing years. Though they may forget the einger, They will not forget the song. e Putrick McGovern Made a Priest. At St. Philomena’s cathedral yesterday mornivg Rev.

BY OMAHA AND SOUTH OMAHA LODGES Grand Lodge Has Adopted the Iden and Will Fix a Day in May— Cer, nies Yesterdny Afternoon. Yesterday was the day set apart by the Anclent Order of United Workmen of Omaha and South Omaha for memorlal exerclses for the members of the order who had died in the last year. The day was celebrated with a parade followed by apprcpriate exercises in Hanscom park. The parade was formed at the corner of Fitteenth and Douglas streets early in the afternoon and marched to the park by way of Douglas, Sixteentfi, Leavenworth streets, Park avenue, Pacific street, Thirtieth street and Woolworth avenue. Between 300 and 400 men were in line. Sergeant Cook with a | platoon of elght police officers led the way. | Then followed two carrisges containing officers of the order and speakers of the day. The remainder of the procession was in order as follows: Ancient Order United Workmen band Lodge No. 1 Union Pacific Lodge No. 17, with Degree team. Hermann Lodge No, 96. Gate City Ledge No. 98, North Omaha Lo No. 159, Fort Omaha Military band. Omaha Lodge No. Patten Lodge No. America Lodge Bohemia Lodge At the entrance to the park the two bands and the two degree teams dropped out of rank and formed up on the g while the women of the Legion of Honor fell in. The main_ bedy in the meantime continued the march until the head reached the band stand when the column opened and lined up in single file on each side of the road, while the bands and degree teams, which had followed in the rear, marched through the avenue thus formed to the front. The Fort Omaha band took up a position on one side, while the band of the order and the degree with Degree team. teams together with the officers took their place on the band stand, where the ex- ercises of the day were conducted. The re mainder of the procession then broke up, its members ningling with the crowds. Not un- der 1,000 members of the order were present. Many had come on the cars or in other ways, and the badges of the order were much fin evidence at every turn, although it was said that as many members were scattered in the crowd without badges on them. The day was almest an ideal one for the event and the program was carried out successfully in every w The marshaling was done by Chase Chambers with two aides, William J, Carruth and Herman Moehle, Mr. Chambers w: mounted on a pretty chestnut horse and rode at the head of the line. Five of the elght lodges carried their own banners. Dr. Patten led the exercises {n the park. He opened with an explanation of the oc- casion. Last year the lodges of Omaha and outh Omaha agreed that one Sunday in August should be devoted to the memory of the deceased members of the order, an should be celebrated in fitting style. This was the second such celebration, and, by tho way, was likely to be the last under the present arrangement. The supreme coun- cil of the state this year adopted the memorial day idea, and will probably set apart the last Sunday in May. Rev. W. Savidge offered prayer, the hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was sung, and Dr. Patten then gave a brief ad- After another selection by the band Edward L. Ely delivered an addres He spoke of the order as belug now in its ideal state. Father Upchurch's little cloua on the horizon, he said, had been steadily growing for twenty-six years until it was now scattering its blessings all over this great country. The organization now num- bered upward of 340,000 members, who were standing shoulder to shoulder in the great struggle of life with the knowledge that no home was so securely founded that it was not liable to be stricken with misfor. tune. Mr. Ely pointed out that the meas- ure of the Savior's benefaction to the world was the opportunity he found for benefiting the stricken, and the doctor made this the standard by which he reckoned the value of this inetitution, adding that there were many widows and others who had been be- reaved who knew what the order had done for them. “Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me,” was then sung, and Mr. Savidge delivered the closing address, Members of the order then repaired to the graveside, where the final exercises were conducted by Dr. Patten and Mr w. Carr, two of the three representatives from Nebraska to the supreme lodge of the order. At the grave a stone monument had been decorated with flowers. The central floral picce was a heart of geraniums and other blossoms, given by the women of Washing- ton lodge No. 27 of the Legion of Honor, the form of the heart being thé emblem of their order.
