Necessity of Delivering Ne groes From Emotional ism in Eeligionr Report of the Standing Committee on Colored Evangelization Lack of Real Spiritual Life. Richmond, May 25. Rev. Mr. Kerr, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Richmond offered the following- resolution at the meeting of the southern general assembly today. It was placed on the calendar: "The general assembly takes occa sion to express Its strongest condemna tion o. the lawless spirit abroad in the land, manifesting itself in many ways, notably in scenes of mob violence and the taking of human Jlif e in cases of supposed crime, without due process of law, involving the awful danger of in flicting death upon innocent persons, while the real criminals go free; tend ing also to cheapen human life, to un stttle the social order, k and to weaken or destrpy that reverence for law and constituted authority which the script tures require all to uphold. We therefore ure all bur people jyid minister, by alll scriptural, wayssi to do their utmost tdward ( oultiYaM&g and maintaining that" order and rever ence for -authority which are enjoined by the Word of God." - '. The standing committee on colored evangelization made a lengthy report to the general assembly today in which it emphasized the necessity? of deliver ing the negro from emotionalism in re ligion. The report states that statis tics show; that the negroes are making fearful strides in immorality and crime and calls on the assembly for $15,000 to prosecute the work of colored evangel ization. Rev. D. Oay Lilly, secretary, delivered an address in which he said there was a lack of real spirituality among the negroes even in the churches and a necessity for the south ern people coming to his aid for proper religious instruction. He added: "Look closely at the religious-life of the colored people. We see the out ward form of the Christian church but a form which is for the most part lacking in spiritual life. The gravest charges are not too severe. Church membership and participation in the sacrament means so little. The terrible happenings in some parts of the south are possible because the church re garded the negroes as objects. of loving pity, and proclaimed far and wide the Christian duty of all men to minister to his needs rather than magnify his mistakes. The antidote for lynching is not legislation nor forensic; a declam atory pulpit with bitter denunciation has not one tithe the power to restrain men from, excesses which may be ex ercised by the same ministry if they lovingly lead the people in -a work of kindness and gentle ministry to the ne gro."

Champ Clark Outlines His Idea of a Plat form Enthusiastic Reception to Col. Bryan Drops Silver to Discuss the Trusts. St. Louis, May 25.- -Over fourteen the two-dollar hundred sat down to democratic anti-trust dinner tonisrWt. Bryan was the chief speaker. O. H. P iieimont and Moses C. Wetmore, who recently sold out their tobacco interests to the trust, were present. Both are credited with a willingness to be Bry an's running mate in 1900. Other prominent democrats at the table were Altgeld and Champ Clark. Clark, in a speech, declared for Bryan, and out lined his idea of a platform, which was a reaffirmation of the Chicago platform with a scorching antr-trust plank, and another declaring emphatically and unequivocally In favor of the preserva tion or the Monroe doctrine and against the "criminal idiocy of corrapting and destroying our Institutions by making Americans -out of ten million Malay ana" -i- " - - : it morf&j, epech1, predicted, wlthhe nght nd of a candidate on an- anti-trust platform, the party would' carry every state, and secure at least three million- majority.

Belmont in a speech reaffirmed his allegiance to the democratic party, 4 and expressed the belief that Bryan alone was a sufficient platform. He fa vored an anti-trust plank. Bryan's reception was so enthusias tic as to give the banquet the appear ance of a personal demonstration of loyalty. When he arose to speak fully 10,000 were in the hall. He left the sil ver Issue comparatively alone, devot ing himself to the trust end of the next campaign. He declared that the republicans had demonstrated their in competency to deal with the danger, and were justifying Lincoln's warning about putting the dollar above the man. He said the only adequate rem edy for the trust evil would be'found in federal enactment. $80,000 HOUSE PRESENTED TO ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE New Orleans, May 25.
