THE DURHAM RECORDER. E. C. HACKNEY, PROPRIETOR. THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1895. COL IHGERSOLL OH CAHHlBAUSIt. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll con tributes to the Twentieth Cen tury a sociological paper which appeals far more strongly to sympathy than to reason. He assumes that there is a great, if not an irrepressible, conflict be tween man and machine. Wri ters quite as profound as he, if lacking the inimitable sparkle of his essays, have regarded the machine as, next to Divinity, the most helpful friend of man. They have noted that the ma-. chine is both the product and1 the promoter of intellectual de velopment; that the rank of na tions in civilizations is gauged by their capacity to invent and utilize laborsaving devices; that only the rudest barbarians are destitute of the machine, and that the incomparable advance ment of Europe and America and especially of the ; United States has been obtained by applying science, through me chanism, to the affairs of life. But Col. Ingersoll joins the pro paganda of despair and lends the influence of his pungent pen to the dissemination of discon tent. : He says : "How are we to settle the un equal contest between man and machine? Will the machine finally go into partnership with the laborer? Can these forces of nature be controlled for the benefit of her suffering children? Will extravagance kerp peace with ingenuity? Will the work men become intelligent enough and strong enough to become the owners of machines? Can man become intelligent enough to be generous, to be just; or does the same law. or fact con - trol him that controls the ani mal or vegetable world ?" We cannot "settle the une qual contes;," because no such thing exists. There is no ques tion touching the relations of "Man and Machine" that will sot, in due time, find its solu tion, as 6imilar questions have been solved at every stage of human progress from houseless. naked barberisui to the present state of man in the most prog ressive countries. The machine is, and always has been, "in partnership with the laborer. "inese iorces o: nature ' are and always have been "con trolled for the benefit of her euf ferine children." Extrava ranee keens pace with inarenu ity in the sense that the cheap ening of production correspond ingly increases consumption The workmen" are "intelli gent enough and strong enough to become the owners of ma chines." Many of the owners of manufactories were hired workmen a few years ago Many of the hired workmen of today will be employers a few years hence. Man can become so intelligent as to be lust, so in telligent as to understand that justice the best policy. Scores of manufacturing corporations in the t sited states have vol nntanly raised the wages of several hundred thousand men and women during the past two months. But Colonel Ingersoll's worst break, bis most astounding out put, is yet to be noticed. After propounding the interrogatories above noticed, be says: "la the days of cannibalism the strong devoured the weak actu ally ate their flesh. In spite of all the laws that man has made, in spite of all advances in science. the strong, the heartless, still live on the weak, the unfortunate, and the foolish. When I take into consideration the agony of civiliz ed life, the failores, the anxieties, the tears, the withered hopes, the bitter realities, the hunger, the crime,- the humiliation, the shame, I am almost forced to say that cannibalism, after all, is the boat merciful form in which man has ever lived upon his fellow-nun,' ia civuizea communities man always "lives upon his fellow man." It Is only among barbari ans, whose simple wants each in dividual may supply for himself, that man does not live cn fellow man. The farmer lives on the hunger of his fellows. The manu facturer lives on other wants of mankind. The railroad and steamship owners live on the desire of mankind to travel and the necessity for transporting food, clotuing, luilding material, and ower product, ine lawyers, a Col. Ingersoll is well aware, live on the necessities of corporations and individuals and often get the products of thefts for defending at.!-. !. - J . . . , uneven, uc aociore live on ine physical and the clergy on the spiritual ills of the human family, society is a grand system of mu tual dependencies, and the higher the civilization the more varied and intricate the system. The plan is not very perfect, for some ciuget more than they give, but the condition of the race is im proving all the time. "We really thinfc that our civilization is bet ter than cannibalism, 1 W'LL RUSSIA mo JAPAN FIGHTT , The war cloud is apparently lowering over the far East again, says the New York Advertiser Recent dispatches state thpt the entire Pacific fleet of Russian warships have been concentrated in the harbor of Yladivostock and 80,000 Russian troops massed on shore preparatory to hurling a powerful naval and land force into the territory which Japan has wrested from China., Russia's object is evident. She desires a Pacific port whose harbor is open the year round as a terminus for the railroad she is building across Siberia, and the only available harbor of this kind is that of Port Lazareff, in Corea. ' At the same time this is not the only motive which actuates the Czar's govern ment. Russia has awakened to the fact that in Japan she has a formidable rival in the Orient, and she is seemingly determined that her prestige shall not suffer from want of prompt action. What will Japan do? She challenged the Mongolian colossus to a dipute at arms for the explicit purpose of safeguarding her rights and interests in the Hermit King dom. Will she now allow them to be jeopardized by permitting her great neighbor to the north west to gain a foothold in the Corean peninsula without making vigorous resistance It seems hardly credible. Japan has de monstrated that she "knows the ngnts, ana Knowing dare main tain." Moreover, in some res pects she would have decided ad vantages in a struggle with Bus- sia. She wonld be able to throw into the field many troops who have just passed through the ex perience of actual warfare, her army and navy, both highly t& cient, would fight near home, and the war feeling which has lately dominated the Island Empire would undoubtedly add thousands of recruits to the Japanese standard should they be required. The course of events in the East will be watched with renewed interest Meantime there will be a general hope that hostilities may be averted. RELIGIOUS STATISTICS. The renewal oi the discussion lately of the proposition looking to unity among christian bodies gives interest to statistics just is sued relating to the strength, fi nances and activities of the van ous religious denominations of the United States. While there is no state religion in this country, there are many churches and re ligions people, the observance of Sunday is general, and the family life is, as a rule, wholesome and happy. There are, in fact, no people who have a greater regard for public and private morality than Americans, and this condi tion of tilings exists without the restraints of Puritanism. To the influence ot the churches, therefore, much is due. The cen sus lor tsoo snows that there are about 150 separate denominations and sects in the United States, not including a multitude 01 minor organizations, concucted indeper. nently and with only one or two church buildings each. Of the larger denominations, there wtre in 189020,612,806 communicants, maintaining 165,177 seperate or ganizations. There were 142,531 church edifices, with a seating ca pacity of 43.564.865. There were, moreover, 25,531 halls and school buildings used for religious pur poses. The valuation of church property was 1670,650,180. The regularly ordained clergymen num bered 111,056. Ia regard to the communi cants the fljfures are very tn- king, showing the power of the leading denominations. The Human Catholics are at the bead, having 6,231,417; the Methcdist Episcopal church cornea next, with 2.240.354 com municant; the regular Baptist, colored, has 1,38,989; regular uapum joutn. l,zw,0C6; Mother diht Episcopal South, 1,209,970; Baptists, North, 000,025; Pres byterians, North, 788,224; Pro testant Episcopal 632,054: Cong greganonai, 612,771 S African Methcdist Episcopal, 452,725; uuineran lieneral Council, 324, 81C; Presbyterian, Bouth. 179, 721: Unitarians. 7.749: Lnlver- salists, 49,195; Spiritualists, 49,030. MK. WILSON IN WASHINGTON. After mi Abaenoa of Several Month Ha ftetora to HU work. Washingon, May 1 5. Representative William L. Wilson, the chairman of the house ways and means committee, re turned to Washington this morning. lie spent Sunday at his home in Charles- town, W. Va, Although several months have elapsed ainoe Mr. Wilson went south to improve his health, he is still far from being a well man. : His gen eral situation is described by one of hit friends today as "shaky still a little weak on his legs." . ' ; lie is anuous to begin his legislative work, and will enter upon it at once. While no formal meetings of the ways and means committee will be held at present, there is much individual work to be done. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Bracken ridge and other Democratic members of the committee will assist their sena torial friends as far as possible in bring ing the party into shape. The condi tion of Mr. Wilson's health is such that he cannot in justice to himself dis charge many of these duties, nor will his associates on the committee permit him to do so beyond the point where it would be safe. AN ALABAMA SUICIDE. b a Secluded Spot Man Take Life la Ml Owa Hand. Bridgeport, Ala., May 15. A special to the Atlanta Constitution says that while some parties were hunting in Doran's cave on Cumberland mountain last Saturday they saw raised um brella over aq apparently sleeping man In s comfortable nook. 1 hey called to the man, but as he did not re spond they approached and found that he was dead and hud been for about a week. The body was faultlessly at. tired. A gold watch was found in his vest pocket, and money was found ia his trouser pockets. The man was about 60 years of age. There were no marks of violence npou his body.' II is death and his identity are mysterious. The body was removed to a village near by. where it was viewed by all the neighborhood, and nobody had ever seen the man in life. It ia believed that he, with suicidal intent, quietly sought out the sequestered spot, took the poison, raised the umbrella to hide him from the sun as he fell into his last long sleep. : ELEVEN THOUSAND NAMES.

JUDGE DISGRACED TH2 BENCH. tba Trial of Fnuwiau Editors In rerun Aroused Pulille Indignation. : Ukrmh. May 15. The r-rausowutter scandal hiis assumed liatiotial dimen sions. Few persons hesitate to say that the judgo disgraced t'au bench by usurping the functions ol the prosecut ing attorney in the trial of 1'rusjiian editors last weok, and the newspapers throughout the emuiro ogreo as rarely before, in admonishing tha govern ment to act quickly in rcsponse4o pub lic opinion. The popular agitation has Increased in the last three days until it promises to raise tue most important political questions in uotu anuiugana Keichstag. Not oniy is a retorra oi ju- diciul methods called for, but the greater freedom of the press also from police restraint is demanded as an im mediate necessity. Saturday the Ber lin association of solie'tors und King's counsels seat to the, , ministry of justice a icemoriul, alt'rmmg that both Brauswettar and the Crown prosecutor violated the rules of profes sional etiquette by their conduct during the trial of the editors, most notably in treating the defendant's oounsel with studied disrespect The memorial also declares that it will be impossible to elicit the truth in any case if the prac tices of distorting evidence and repress ing counsel in the defense of clients be allowed. While the members of the Uerlln bar show their determination to vindicate their own people's rights, the Journalists aud publicists consider KrausewetterssneerlngrvtnarkMDout the newspapers more as an attack upon the rights of a fret press. A meeting has already been called for Wednesday at the Journalists' clnb to protest against the license allowed the court and police in dealing with the news, papers and the funeral public IN WASHINGTON'S SOCIETY.
