Jndre De Armond a Orest Man Judge Lscombe's Strange Decision A Na val denersl Staff Other Mstters. Special Correspondence Courier. Washincton. 1). C, July 4th. Undoubtedly one of the Democratic leaders and one of the Hblest men in tho House of Representatives is the Hon. David A. De Armond, of Mis souri. Judge De Armond has been in Congress since 1890, having been first elected to the Fifty-second Con gress and re-elected to each succeed ing Congress, He is one of the ablest lawyers in the Congress and a member of the Committee on Judi ciary. He was the choieo of the Missouri delegation for tho caucus nomination for Speaker in the Fifty- eighth Congress when it convenes, but he refused to stand for the nomi nation, and the choice then full to Hon. Champ Clark. If the Demo crats had carried the House ho un doubtedly woula have been a catidi- dato for Sneaker, but ho did not care to undertake to harmonize the factions in the party in tho House as the tloor lender. The Judge realizes his shortcomings as a good mixer with men. Uu has none of the bon houinie, camaraderie char acteristics in his mental makeup. Ho is short on cheap talk and long on thinking. He is essentially a thinker ami a student, and never loses any tinio indulging in cloak room stories. ' He does not inspire affection, but compels admiration from his Democratic colleagues, and is feared and disliked by tho Re publicans. He is the greatest verbal cviscorntor in the House, and can perform the neatest job of skinning and gutting an opponent of any man in the Congress. He is a humau'wosp, and his stinger is al ways ready for business. He is not an orator, in the true sense of the word, for he has a monotonous and metallic voice that is not pleasant, and he rarely gesticulates. His diction, however, is almost' perfect, und he is one of the few men in Con gress who never correct the report- ra notes for insertion in the lioconl. When he gets through his speech is a finished production. As a sample of his dexterity with scalpel and rapier, he once said of an opponent, who had a penchant for spilling lartre cobs of printer s ink and voluminously vociferating to the re porters: "Iio is, Mr. Chairman, the most remarkable man 1 ever knew. When he is not writing he is talking, md when he is not talking no is writing, and he does both without thinking. J mitre De Armond is an amiable and kindly gentleman, a ripe scholar, an able lawyer, and a splendid legis lator. His retirement from Congress would be a distinct loss to the Demo cratic party and to the nation. It is the mineral consensus or opin ion here that the decision of Federal Judge Lacombf, of New York, in the case against tho anthracite coal- currying ronds brought by Mr. illiam K. llearsl, to the effect that they cannot be compelled by the Interstate Commerce Commission to produce their contracts with the mining companies is unmitigated "stuff." The commission represents the Government, which has a con stitutional right to regulate com merce between the different states. This being admitted, why shouldn't the Commission have the right to de mand the production of papers bear ing upon the regulation of inter state commerce? Judge Locomlte may be a learned Judge, bnt he does not seem to be 'equipped with a burdensome quantity of common sense His ruling will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where it will undoubtedly be swept aside with scant courtesy. If there is an anthracito coal trnst in exis tence (and everybody knows there is), then it is the duty of the courts to facilitate and not to obstruct the Government's efforts to investigate and to suppress it. There is nothing unreasonable in asking corporations to produce papers in evidence which alone will enable the Interstate Com merce Commission to judge whether the laws of the land are being violat ed T not. If the Coal Trust thinks that William Kandolph Hearst is a putter they have another and a larger think coming. Although Secretary Hoot, of the War Department, has temporarily side-tracked the opium business in the Philippines in order to get the people to quit thinking about it, it undoubtedly is the intention of the American administration to estab lish an (opium monopoly in those islands. When it does it will roceive a rake-off amointing to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per annum. This sort of monopoly should work wonders in the archipelago. The merit of opium as Christianizing and civiluing agency are well es tablished. Pcihaps the Government obtained valuable pointers . from Downing Street in regard to the ad vantages of an opium monopoly. The Bntish nave done lucrative and flourishing business in opium ever si ace they introduced it in China. Consolidating the splendid effects whiafi the dope has produced in UM uoMttaal rec ions. Taf t Uov erntaent has very reason to be exu berantly optimistic about the conse quences to follow the setting up of su opium monopoly in the Philip oin Islands. The done should prove more efficacious than Bibles tod guns. A wovemect it now on foot to re organise the entire naval adminis tration. Mr. Moody, the Secretary of the Navv, now has a plan ia bis hanus providing for the creatiou of a bviT f uerl staff . If this plan is adopted, the department institutions, such as the war college, or the bureau of navigation, will be merged with the general stuff, whoso chiof will exercise the sumo supervision over the military divisions as the Assistant (secretary over the bureaus, and in the absence of both becretury and Assistant Secretary, tho Chief of Staff will bo Acting bocrctury, Tho present functions and authority of the Secretary will be maintained. This reorganization plan should, and undoubtedly will, be adopted Ever since the outbreak of the Span. ish-American war it has been ap parent that the Bureau of Naviga tion is in need of a thorough over hauling. It has own a hntbed ot political intrigue and chicuncry. The impertinent rolo that some of the officials played in the Sampson- Schley controversy is well remember- otl. Anvthini? that is calculated to remove the navy aud army depart ments beyond the sphere of politics and offensive intrigue will havo the nation s approval. Notwithstanding the fact that the Postonlce Department investigation afforded President .Roosevelt a line opportunity to "make good" in i manner most pleasing to his coun trymen, he has neglected the oppor tunity, has gone to his summer honi and left behind him orders that the "gag aule" must be enforced, no news given out aim tne inveguguiion practically abandoned. ihe dis closures so fur made leave no doubt in au intelligent mind that the in vestigntion has only begun that "worse remains behind. The greedy fangs of corruption have fastened themselves upon every branch of the postal service. Mr. Bristow's report gives substantial proof of shameless truflicking in offices, grafting in almost every bu reau, of bold aud brazen dciiunce ot all civil sereice rules, and of the damnably pernicious influence of party considerations in the adminis tration ol one ol the greatest depart ments of the government. One of the results of the investi gation is the discovery that the four states of Uluo, Jiuliuna, Illinois aim Iowa have been especially favored in tho distribution of rural muil routes. As three of those arc pivotal States in national elections, the reason of this favoritism is perfectly obvious. If Mr. Payne is really ill, ho canuot be blamed for it. A national scan dal of this kind is enough to make auvbodv "sick. In its purely moral aspect, it bears a strikingly close re semblance to tuo l'anama anoir in France, which, in its course, be smirched the reputation! ef almost every leading politician. Iho l'ost offico Deportment has become abso lutely rotten. Every branch of the service needs reform and lots of it It is the President's duty to leave nothing undone to bring every cul prit to justice. The scandal is no longer a matter of linking suspicion. It has advanced into the indestruc tible realms of facts. This being the case, every political grafter, blood-sucker and brilier should be hunted down and held up for public condemnation. The national admin istration, which happens to be Kc publicuu, has reached the point where retreat is no longer possible. It must, nolens volens, go uhead, honestly aud fearlessly or take the consequences, uoes tne latest step look us though it were going to uo this thing? Does it look as though the people of the country are goiiuj to get the facts of this matter when the "gag rule" is applied to the offi cers of the department and no action taken in the coses of men already indicted of heinous offenses." The people will never know the extent of rottenness in the PosUillice Department until there is a change in national administration, A con gressional investigation by a partisan Republican majority will ouly smoth er things.

Th reader will please take his Bible and carefully read the refer ences given, covering every phase of the subject, showing tho objects that ore sanctified. Sanctifying the Sabbath, Gen. 2-3.

Sanctifying House and Field. Levit. 27, 14, 18; 22-26. The house and field were not made better, not even a ceremonial cleans ing; but the rents wete given for the repairs of the tabernacle.

Sanctifying the Mount. Ex. 19, 23. It was sunctificd by not allow ing the people to come unto it. Sunctifying an Army Isa. 13, 3. In this chapter God threatens to de stroy Babylon by the Medes. Anil in choosing one idolatrous people to destroy another idolatrous people, he says in verso third, "1 have com manded my sanctified ones." Sanctifying Uod. ix-yit. iu, j; Num. 20, 12, 13; 27, 14; Deut. 32, 51; 52. Isa. 5, 16, 8, 13, 29, 23. Ezek. 20, 41, 28, 12, 30, 23, 38, H; 23, 39, 27. If sanctify means to make holy, or to make more holy, then the passages here referred to brings lis face to face with an absurdity in the word of God. By reference to Levit. 27, 26, we are taught that that which belongs to Uod cannot be sanetined. We have in the above reference what is said respecting siinctitication in the Old Testament, and nothing have we found that would in any wise indicate an inward change, or of making uny person, or thing sanc tified, good or bad, holy or more holy. Hut we have, in every place that the word is used, found it to mean either a judicial decree or a ceremonial purification, or a recogni tion of the purity of God. We arc told mat we must go to the new testament to ascertain the meaning and application of the word siinclify, but we have found a meali ng m the Old lestament and we ask the candid reader if there is anv doctrine taught in the word of God", which means tne opposite in me New Testament from what it means iu the Old Testament? If it is all outward in the one, is it all inward in the other, we shall see. We will now consider the word us it is used by our Savior and the apos tles. The first place we find the word used in the new testament is Matt. 23. 17. 19. In both places the Savior speaks of inanimate objects being sanctified by in miniate ob jects, neither of which possess moral qualities, and tuerctore cannot oe bettered bv the influence of any spirit. The next . is John 10, 30. Here Christ says that he is sanctified an J sent into the world by the Fath- The word does not mean any thing different here from what we fouud it to mean iu the old testa ment. John 17. 17. 19. Here the same is said of Christ that is said of lhn ipostles, if one is made holy or more holy, so is the other, but as Christ cannot be made holy, nor more holy, perhaps his being sanctified means tbnt he is set apart to tne saving oi men then the apostles are set apai t to the saving of men the gospel ministry. This is made plain in the 18th verso: "As Thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world." 1 Cor. 7.14. In this pussage the unbelieving heathen man is sancti fied because he has married chris tian woman, so is the unbelieving heathen woman sanctified because she has Anrried a christian man. This admonition of the apostle has boon the practice in all ages of the christian church, for when one par ent is a christian the children are allowed to be taken into the church. Epere. 6. 23, 26. The apostle says Unit husbands should love and pro tect their wives, as Christ loves and protects the church, therefore the comparison must be preserved to the end; and the sanctifying must be an outward cleansing, and is so defined when it is said to be by baptism. 1 Then. 4. 3, 4. The abstaining from fornication, and possessing his vessel in tanctification and honor, is man's own work and is not wrought by God, neither judicially outward, nor spiritually inward; therefore, it 'doe not necessarily require that a man should be a christian iu older to keep this command. 1 Tim. 4. 4. 5. This is another inanimate object our food sancti fied by the word of God und prayer. It is judiciullly sanctified by God's command. See Gen. 9. 3. 2 Tim. 2.;i5, 21. Dr. Clorke says that the apostle Paul iu this passage teaches an important lesson, by means of the figure he uses. The great house und its vessels represent the whole system of christiniutv and its teachers. In tiiis house are vessels of gold and silver, eminent, holy, sincere, aud useful teachers; and al so vessels of wood and earth, fulsc and heretical teachers, such us Hy menciis und Philetus and their fol lowers. From these he admonishes Timothy to separate himself. This wiirning would be wholesome iu the 20th century. lleb. 2.11. Dr. Clarke says "he that sunctificth," means he that makes atonement, und they who are sanctified are those for whom the atonement is made. I think we will find this intcrpietatioii fully bub tai nod when we come to consider the tenth chapter of this epistle, for I do not believe the apostle will con tradict himself. Heb. 9, 13. This is merely a ref erence to the ceremonial cleansing under the old dispensation and needs no comment. Heb. 10. 9, 10. We will quote this passage, "Then said he, 'Iio, I come to do Thy will, O Uod.' He tskcth away the first, that he may establish the second, by the which will we arc sanctified through the offering cf the body of Jesus Christ once for all." This is perhaps the most important as it is the most far reaching in its effect, of any sanctilication mention ed iu the New Testament, for in do ing uwuv with the old covenant and in establishing the new, Jesus Christ brought all mankind into covenant relations with God through the gos pel and thereby sanctified them delivered them from the guilt of Adam's transgression original sin. This original sin, from which the apostle says we are delivered by the death of Christ once for all, is what some very modern theologians call inbred sin, which they claim must be eradicated, even after conversion. Our Savior corroborates the apostle's statement, Matt. 18. 3; "Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." The child, having been freed by the death of Christ from original sin, and having no personal sin, is freed from all sin. The converted person is delivered from personal transgression and hav ing been, in the covenant of grace, delivered from original transgression, stands upon the same platform irhich the child does cleansed from all sin. In view of the perfect harmony of those two witnesses iiihmi this most important doctrine, we are fully per suaded that the theory of inured six in the human heart, cither after or before conversion, is a heukst. . 1 his same truth is presented ugain iu this tenth chapter, verses 28, 29: lie that despised Moses law died without mercy under two or three witncesrs, of how much sore punish ment suppose ye shall he lie thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, und bath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing." 1 he blood or seal of the covenant, whereby all mankind are brought in to covenant relations with God, and arc sanctified saved from original sin or inbred sin. If this is not the true interpretation of this passage, then where is that great muss of mankind that died in infancy? If they weie not 'saved through the blood of the covenant; "The offering of the liody of Jesus Christ ouee for all;" then they mull be lost. We are not authorized by the Word of God to frame a theology which saves me class of mankind different from that which saves another class, there fore, if children dying in infancy are saved from original or inbred sin, through the blood of the covenant, so are adults saved from original or inbred sin through the blood of the covenant. The same idea is expressed by the apostle, lleb. 13. 11, 12. That he might bring the people into cove nant with God thiough the gospel, suffered without the gate. He did this to comply with the law which he came to fulfill, for bad he suffer- d within the gate be would have fulled to have made a legal sacrifice. We have examined the word sanc tify in eighteen places iu the New Testament. Three of those passages refer to inanimate things possessing no moral qualities. Une of the eight- teen affirms, that heathen men and women are sanctified when they have married proteasing christians, bix of those passages refer to the purity and obedience of Jesus Christ in separating himself to the saving of the world, rour passages refer to unregeneratc persons, including all mankind who are sanctified, because the offering of Jesus Christ upon the cross, has brought them into cove nant relations with God through the gospel. And one which admonishes us to purge ourselves from fulse teachers and their doctrines. We have not found in the eight teen passages anything that would iu auywise indio.ite a work of grace, wrought by the Holy Ghost in the human heart, neither in conversion, nor after conversion. There are five other passages to be considered and so far as the word in question is concerned, they mean practically the same thing, therefore we shall consider them as one, for the comment upon one would serve as the comment upon alL The pas sages are Acts 26. 18., Bom. 15. 16., ICor. 6. 9, 11., 1 Thes. 5, 16, 23., 2 Thes. 2. 13. Some commentators have recog nized those passages as a figure show ing the conversion of the Gentiles, and none have gone further; while the best and most learned commen tators do not admit it to have even that meaning. As evidence of the above statement, Dr. Adum Clarke, the great Methodist commentator who is claimed to believe iu sanctili cation m a second work of grace u work wrought by the lloly uhost in the heart to cleanse from inbred sin as Adam's transgression, has this comnieut upou those passages: "Sep aration from common, earthly or sinful uses, to be employed in the service if the true God, is the IDEAL meaning of this word, both in the Old and New Testaments." The italics are his. We have seen in the whole of our investigation that this separation does not carry with it the idea of muking holy; we have found mat some holy persons were separated, but the separation did not make them holy. Dr. Clurk suys further, in com menting upon those passages, "It was in consequence of their being separated from the world that they liecome a chinch of God." He says the aposl le's language properly means this: "Ye were formerly workers of iniquity and associated with workers of iniquity, but now ve are separated from them aud united together to work out your salvation with four and trembling before God." We could multiply these witnesses, but we do not deem it necessary. We have now gone over the whole field and what have we gleaned? We have found in every passage in the Old and New Testaments that sanc tify means a separation of persons or things from an earthly to a sacreu purpose or use. in more man vv per cent of those passages the sepa ration or sunctification has ben per fected without any change from evil to good, only an outward cleansing. hue in less than three per cent, oi the passages is the separation or siinctitication mentioned in connec tion with persons who ure said to have been changed in neurt. In view of those facts, should we ut all be surprised that a nuin of Dr. Clark's piety, intelligence und learn ing, after a careful study of God's Word, should suv: "Separation from common, earthly or sinful uses to be employed in the service of the true Uod, is the ideal meaning oi mis word, both in the Old and New Tes taments. Now. in conclusion, we state that our object has been to ascertain the true meaning of the word sanctity, us taught in the Bible, with no thought of weakening or making easy a compliance with the com mands ot Uod, but now, as in an our inistrv. we desire to impress the truth tfiut a perfect purity of heart and a thorough consecration of life is taught and required in God's holy Word, but thu passugesjin which the word sanctify occurs does not teach this high ideal.
