They have, therefore, tithed mint and anise and cummin, ; that they might! favor monopolies and create a moneyed oligarchy, upon whose power they have relied . ior continuing - their hold upon the government for an indef inite period. Internal taxation has been a prime feature in this scheme for con verting this elective government into a Tjseudo monarchy. The revenue from this sojurce has amounted to large sums. Much of 4his fund has never reached the national treasury, but has been used to corrupt the fountains of justice. A large share of it has gone into the hands of an army of menials who have all along been the slaves of this moneyed oligarch v. As the price of their slave ry they have been ordered and required to intimidate freemen in the exercise of vested rights to seize ballot boxes and bribe witnesses to change their contents, and thereby destroyed the virtue of our boasted franchise and to put voters up on the shamble; as so many sheep for the market. I Think not, my friends, that I talk too much about money in my sermons.: As it was in Pharisaic times, so it is now. Taxation (money) has usurped the place of patriotism and constitu tional law. ItTias displaced public vir tue, and proposes to wield the destinies of a free pe'oplej by its corrupting pow er. If ot satisfied with internal taxa tion, With its deep and damning con sequences, the modern Scribes and Fhansees who have so long controlled our natiodal affairs have fixed upon us a system of tariff taxation, by which hey hoped to continue then grasp up on, the national throat. Indeed they havei apparently acted upon the as sumption that j money is power, and the " whole administration of govern ment! by, them is an acknowledgement hat Vby this we rule. lhej tariff sys tem has yielded, immense profits to a few manufacturers, and at the same times has impoverished the laborer and consumer, inese same monopolists withi their great fortunes join in 'with Presidents and cabinets, with suborn- ed Judges and juries, with the thieves and robbers who hang around the ; na tional treasury,! and with venal aspi rants for high official stations, to cor rupt the electivle franchise and defeat the popular wnJ. Our recent elections have shown how confidently money wasrrelied upon to elect a Chief Magis trate of the nation. Calculations were made and speculations indulged in as to how many votes a given sum of money would -purchase with as little moral concern as would a stock dealer feel! as to the number of beef cattle he could purchase fpr a given amount of money. These calculations, accompa nied with the demand of a Presidential candidatewere presented to monopo lists who were asked to meet the de mand, and the money was advanced. Well, my friends, there is one lesson in this transaction by which we may profit. We have learned the States in which they live and the people who are base enough to sell their votes, as also the! aspirants who were so morally de- i f N i i nf ii l t graaea as to sees omce mrougn sucn means, and who were willing to take the oath of induction into an -office procured by such methods. "Ye hypo crites, ye generation of vipers ! The omission of the weightier mat ters of the law by the Scribes and Pharisees was a legitimate corollary from well defined premisesthe legiti mate effect of a given cause. As it was in the time of the Pharisees, so it is in our times. Itis not to be expect ed 'of corrupt magistrates (chief or otherwise) that they should punish criminals. 1 cannot be hoped that corrupt rulers who have corrupted oth ers if or the sake of omce should punish dishonest subordinates. Having per jured themselves, it is not likely that the straggle by Wotting out their capi tal city and the nation likewise. There is something Tery significant in the way our Lord puts the tmestionV They had "omitted the weightier mat ters of the law.M In their rage. after tithe of mint and anise ana cummin, combined with their . odioushypocnsy, they neglected to ."bring criminals to justice. To do so would' have been virtually self-condemnation v In like manner it has been with us. ' Men who go into the market to purchase office by purchasing votes can" never be trusted to administer honest govern ment. Just so sure as they become pullic.magistrates, they will pmit the weightier matters of the law. Such haijpeen our unfortunate condition for a lumber of years, and i the tendency has been to anarchy, to unsettle honest business, to increase the power of mon ey changers, to convert J$6. temple of liberty into a den --'of thievesy - to clothe the merciless and heartless with au thority to lord it over the helpless and innocent, and to the development of that extravagance and luxury which affect chastity and purity, and have at all times been the precursor of the de cay and downfall of republics. There ismuch in all this, my friends, for serious thought, and to awaken the American people to' a sense of the most terrible danger. And let the in coming dynasty bear in , mind that as the inexorable maledictions of the Al mighty rest upon the corruptions and hypocrisies of the past, they will find no immunity in like conditions; "For God is King of all the earth" nhd Pharisees in the days of our Tjord. They were sticklers about the tithe on mint and anise and cummin, but disre garded the weightier matters of the law. The pretended much personal god liness and great love and reverence for the law, and yetir under the guise of hypocrisy, they were stern and relent less in having the tithe .on mint and anise and cummin; collected. For this purpose they quartered a very ar my of publicans upon the people publicans who invaded the sanctity of the home altar with their unholy pres ence.' Nor is this all. The publicans, knowingthat theyjacted tinder false authority under authority not derived from the fundamental law, felt them selves irresponsible, in a great measure, and consequently they added to the op pression of the people by levying and collecting fraudulent taxes by which to enrich themselves. So you see, my friends, the whole administration was wrong, from the Sanhedrim down. It was false in fact, false in spirit, and false in the execution of it. It was a ring service from which God was, in fact excluded, and money was held to be the chief good. The Scribes and Pharisees had, no doubt, a twofold object in that rigorous gathering of the tithes. It helped to swell the funds lof the national treasu ry, of which they had control. It also filled their own larders with great abun dance, i Nor did it matter with them that the poor laborers, who produced these luxuries of life were in destitution I ahefwant. Little did they sympathize with the sad wailings of widowhood and orphanage, so they had ample means for living, in wantonness and excess. Is it any wonder,' then, that our Lord should array before them their sins of oppres sion then repudiation, in every practi cal sense, of the weightier matters of the law and, while holding up before them the hideDtisness of their hypocri sy, should utter the most terrible male dictions against them r T , T. ll ! Ill in reviewing tnis; wnoie transaction, there is one lesson, my friends, present- ed tor our- consiaeration, which we should learn well. It is this: that the Scribes and Pharisees were both reli gious and political hypocrites, and Swe are taught in this, case that God does not tolerate political hypocrisy and dis honesty any more than he does religious hypocrisy. The sequal shows this, for trod not only brought to an end the Jewish church and the Jewish religion, but swept away their national govern ment at the same time. Our Lord also arraigned them for omitting the weightier matters of the law, "justice, mercy and faith." In their rage after the tithes and by disuse they had broken down all the force of the legal tribunals of the government, so that crimev went -unwhipt of , justice. Ranine and murder, theft and robberv. malfeasance in office, perjury and bribe ry, treachery in matters, of public trust and conspiracy, to defraud the public, the use)f official authority to shield criminals from the penalties of the law, and the use of the official position for . i i 4 1 i i purposes oi .peculation ana personal gain stalked with defiant head from one end of the streets: to the other, and from gate to gate of the great city of Jerusalem-.! It availed nothing with the Scribes and Pharisees that a cry for re lief went up fromlall the borders of Ju- dea. They had abondoned all practical piety, (called in the text mercy). Thev had withdrawn all trust in God for their national perpetuity (called here faith). They had reached the point of despara- tion, and were resolved to hold - on to place and power by all means, fair or f mil. Thev Had -drifted rntn a rriprk- I tvDed religion and an abnormal morali- cay. Such was the result with the , r o i - Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Wasiiixgtox, D. C, Jan. 10, 1885. The Inter-State commerce bill lias been passed in the House after a long and able debate. Mr. Regan, the au thor and tireless advocate of the bill, may well congratulate himself on this achievement. Last session he was at death's door with an insidious disease, aud no one believed that he would live to see the triumph of his bill. He then said that lie would be will ing to die but for the incompletucs of this work. There are few more powerful, more ready, or better equip ped debaters in the present Congress than Mr. Reagan, of Texas. The beginning of the new year has been characterized by a resumption of J the social entertainments of the season, but there is a lacktrf the splendor, the gayety, the chic, of former yea is. The hard times may have something to tlo with the social depression, but hard times do not piuch office holders whose salaries are as certain as taxa tion. 1 he causes ot depression are multiplex. It takes money to make the social machine go, and many of the social engineers lost their money in wagers on Blaine. Then, again, they realize that it is prudent to be provident, and save money to buy tickets to Ohio. after the 4th of March. Col. Lamont has been in this city for two days, looking over the field. Very few knew that he was the pri vate secretary of the President-elect, and he was not annoyed by office seekers and interviewers. He went to the White House yesterday after noon, and met President Arthur, who introduced him to his private secretary, who in turn pre-ented the clerks about the throne" and explained to him briefly the daily routine of official work at the presidential mansion. Last night the Chairman of the in auguration committee had a long talk with Col. Lambnt, who remarked that Governor Cleveland wasaversetoshow and ostentation, but that on the other hand he did not wish to appear osten tatiously simple or austere. The de tails of the inauguration will therefore be left entirely to the committee. Left to the committee, the inatiQU ratiou promises to be a grand affair, with a grand march to the capitol in the forenoon, a grand pyrotechnical display in the evening, apd a grand ball at night. Think of a ball room of capacity for twelve thousand per so s, and with floor sufficiently spa cio is for two hundreds lid fifty colill ions dancing in tune! At night Penn sylvtnia Avenue will be as Ii ! Some of the troops will sleep in the Pullman cars which bring them here; others will be billeted in hotels and halls where they have already engaged qnarters. A few companies will be quartered in Alexandria, where they will be within lialfian hour of Wash ingson by rail or boat. If the pro verbial inauguration weather prevails on the fourth of March,: the military will have a taste of the horrors of war. The last three inauguration days were extremely disagreeable. Congress ought to pass an act extending the term of a President to six years and mangurating him on the fourth of July. Then the military companies could have a picnic and see Washington ar rayed in green sward, foliage, foun tains and flowers. .' Contempt. Contempt is the meanest and small est thing in the world, because it keeps the heart in which it reigus from ever growiug or learning; because it never looks up to see anything above it, and sees only what is lowest in things be ueath it; and to the truly noble, the attitude of the contemptuous heart is a mean stooping, which lowers its pos sessor below the fowest of those lie would despise. There is always some thing in every one to honor, if we con Id find it out; but contempt passes by all that could be honored to look at that which is lowest. Contempt and envy are often only the outside ;and inside of the same moral weakness. Such people profess to despise what they inwardly envy.
