Xix.,32.
Ephe'ie wa npai'iQ down. It was ahoiit
tht- silver fupstiou. A tnaniificturcr of pilvef
Jinxes for holding hpathfMi irnaen had halted
his laborers tojothpr to discuss thi behavior
of one Paul, who had bfHn in public places
assaulting imag!'Ors hi pv nnd consequently
Vfry much damain that pnrticlilar busi
ness. Thr;re was ret excitement in the
city. People ntool in knots aionar the
Btrtsets violently gesticulating na, Cal'An
eacJi other hard nams. Home of thei people
favoredthe policy of the silver-.n,ith. Other
people favored the policy of Paul. There
were great inorsl "jupstions involved, but
these did not bother them at all.
The only cptt-stion about which they
Boomed to be interwted was concemiUf; the
vraps anl the s .laried positions. The silvrr
Bmith nnd his ompecrs had put up faetorirr
at great expense f?r the making of th.;se sil
ver lioxes, and now, if this iipw policy is to
bo inaugurated the businc.-is will go dotTi).,
the latiorcrs will be thrown out of employ
ment and the whole cit.v Will suffer. WelJ,
what is to b done? 'Tall a convention,"
says some one, form all ages a convention
ha bnen a panacea for public evils. The
convention is called, and as thy want t hi
largest room in the city theyf ake the the ifre.
Having there iissprr;i)led, they all want to
Ret the floor, and they all want to talk tX
onco. Yon know what exeftemont that al
ways makes in a convention, where a great
mauv people want to talk at once. Som
cried one thing, some cried another. Some
wanted to denounce, some wanted to resolve-.
After awhile a prominent man gets the floo
nnd he begin to speak, but they Very soon
hiss him down, and thn the confusion rises
into worse uproar, and they begin to shout,
nil of them together, and they keep on Until
they are red in the face and hoarse in the
throat, for two long hour? crying out "Great
is Diana of the Kphesian's. Great is Diana
of the Kphe-ians !"
The whole scene reminds me of the excite
ment we have almost every autumn at the
elections. While that goddes-i Diana has lost
her worshipefsandhertempi.es have gone
into the dust, our American people want to
set up a go l in place of her, and they want
n? all to bow down bfforc it, and that god is
politic i partv. Considering our superior
civilization, I have to declare to you that
Kphesian idolatry was less offensive ill the
sight of God than is this all absorbing Ameri
can partisanship.
While thoffi are honest men, true men,
Christian men. who stand in both political
parties, and who come into Hie autumnal
elections resolving to serve their city or their
State or the Nation in the best possible wayv
I have noticed also that with marly it is a.
mere contest between the ins and the outs -those
who are trying to stay in and keep the
outs out, and those who are trying to get in
nnd thrust the ins out. An I one pnrty cries(
'Great is Diana of the Kphesians !" and the
other party cries, "Great is Diana of the
Dphesians li"ither of them honest enough
to sny, "Great is my pocket hook !"
Once or twice a year it is my custom to
talk to the people about public affairs from
what I call a Christian standpoint, and
this morning I have chosen for that duty, I
hope to say a practical word. History tells
us of a sermon once preached amid the high
lands of Scotland a sermon tvyo hours lonuf
on the sin of luxury, tcic' there were not
more than three puirs n snoes in the au
dience, and during our last war a good man
went into a hospital distributing tracts and
gave a tract fin "The Sin of Dancing" to a
man both of whose legs had been amputated !
Put I hope this morning to present an a p
pr.ipriate and adapted word, as next Tues
day at the ballot box great affairs are to be
s-tHed.
The Iicv. Dr. Emmons, in the early his
tory of our country, in Massachusetts,
prca-'hed about the election of Tnomas Jef
ferson to the Presidency. The ltev. Dr.
Mayhew. of I'.oston. in the early days of our
republic, preached about the repeal of the
stamp a.-t. Tliere are times when ministers
of Christ must look off upon public
affairs and dis?uss them. We need go hack
to no example. Every man is. before Go i,
responsible for his own duty.
If the Norwegian boasts of his home of
rocks, and the Siberian is pleased with his
land of perpetual snow; if the Roman
thought that the muddy Tiber was the
favored river in the sight of heaven, and if
the Laplander shivers out his eulogy of his
native clime, and if the Chinese have pity
for anybody born outside of the Flowery
Kingdom, shall not we, born under these
fair skies and standing day by day amid
those glorious civil and religious lioerties,
be public spirited? I propose to tell the peo
ple very plainly what I consider to betueii
Christian duty at the ballot box !
First, set yourself against all political false
hood. The most monstrous lies ever told in
this country are during the elections. I stop
at the door of a Democratic meeting and
listen and hear that the Republicans are liars.
I btop at the door of a Republican meeting
and listen and hear that the Democrats are
scoundrels. Our public men mieroseopized,
and the truth distorted. Who believes a
tenth part of what he reads or hears in the
autumnal elections? Men who at other sea
sons of the year are very careful in their
speech become peddlers of scandal.
In the far east there is a place where once
a year they let the people do as they please
and say what they please, and the place is
full of uproar, misrule and wickedness, and
they call it the "devil's day." The nearest
approximation to that in this country has
been the first Tuesday in November. .Thf
community at such times seems t -, "Go
to, now, let us have a good time at tying."
Prominent candidates for office are de
nounced as unprincipled and renegade. A
smart lie will start in the corner of a country
newspaper, and keep on running until it has
capturedthe printing presses of the whole
continent. What garbling of speeches ! What
misinterpretation of motives! What mis
representation of individual antecedents !
The trouble is that we have in this country
two great manufactories manufactories of
lies the Republican manufactory of lies and
the Democratic manufactory of lies and
they are run day and night, and they turn
out half a dozen a day all equipped and
ready for full sailing. Large lies and small
lies." Lies private and lies public and lies
prurient. Lies cut bias and lies cut diagonal.
Long limbed lies and lies with douMe back
action. Lies complimentary and lies de
famatory. Lies that some people believe,
and lies that all the people believe, and lies
that nobody believes. Lies with humps like
camels, and scales like crocodiles, and necks
as long as storks, and feet as swift as an an
telope's, and stings like adders- Lies raw
and scalloped and panned and stewed.
Crawliug lies and jumping lies and soaring
lies. Lies with attachment screws and
raffiers and braiders and readv won ad bob
bins. Lies by Christian people, v ho never
lio except during elections, and lies by peo
ple who always He, but beat themselves in a
political campaign.
I confess I am ashamed to have a foreigner
visit this country in these times. I should
think he would stand dazed nnd dare not go
out at nights ! What will tho hundreds of
thousands of foreigners who come hero to
live think of us? What a disgust they must
have for tho lan I of their adoption ! The
only good thing about it is that many of them
cannot understand the English language.
Rut I suppose the German and Itrdian and
Swedish and French papers translate it all,
and peddle out the infernal stuff totheir sub
scribers. Nothing but Christianity will ever stop such
a flood of indecency. The Christian religion
will speak after awhile. The billingsgate and
low scandal through which we wade almost
every autumn must be rebuked by that re
ligion which speaks from its two great moun
tains, from the one mountaiu intoning the
command, 'Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor." and from the
other mount making plea for kindness an J
love and blessing rather than cursing.
0 Christian men, frown uriori political falsf
hood! Remember that a political 116 is as
black as any other kind of a lie. Gdi has re
corded all ths fals'dioo Is that have been tol l
at the city: State Or National electidns sime
the foundation Of this Government, an I
though the perpetrators nil 1 their rictim-i
may hive gone into the dust, in the last da
judgment will be awardeJ.
The falsehoods that Aaron Purr brea'ho l
into the ear of BlenrK.rhasstt; the ?laiilers
that Lieutenant Oerieral Gage prdcl3ime I
aboil Oefirge Washingtdd; the misrepresen
tations in regard td James Mrf'iroe; ar -t as
fresh iri Go Fs book to-Jay as the lies thai
were printed last wee'i about oiir local can
didates. "And all liars shall have their p.ir:
n the lake which nurneth with flee and bri n
Mone, which is tho second deatn."
Again, I connsel you as Christian men ti
set yourselves against thy misuse of mon
in political campaigns. Of ths thousands c
dollars already spent this aiiturrirl; hdw mucb
of the amOtirit do yOu suppose has been prop
erly used:? Ydii have a right to spend won -y
for the publishing of political tracts for th
establishment Of organijatiohs for the carry
ing out of what you consider to b3 the best
you have a right to appeal to the reason o
men by argument and statistics and by facts.
j Printing and renting of public halls and po
litical meetings cost money-j but ne wno puts
a bf ibe into the hand of a voter or plien weak
men with mercenary and corrupt .motives
commits a sin against Go 1 and the Jiation.
Bribery i? one of tha most applUiri? sins
of this eodntryi God says "Fire shall con
sume the tabernacles of bribery." Have
nothing to do with such a sin, O Christian
man ! Fling it from the ballot box. Hand
over to the police tho nrau wao attempts to
tamper with your vote, and femdmber that
elections ttlat cannot be carried without
bribes OUght hever to he carried at all.
Again I dsk you as Chri3tirn men to set your
selves against the dissipations that hover Over
the ballot box. Let me say that no man can
afford to go into political life who is not a
teetotaler. Hot political discussion somehow
creates art unnatural thirst, and hundreds of
thousands of men have gone down into
drunkenness through political life.
After an exciting canvass through the
evening you must "take something,'1 and
rising in the morning with less animation
than usual you must ' take something," and
going off among yo if comra les through the
forenoon yoU meet political friends, and you
must "take something," .rid in the afternoon
you meet other p ditira, frien Is, an i yoU
must "take something," an I being night has
come something has ttken you. There are
but few cases where men have b?en able tr
stand up against the dissipations of political
life.
Joseph was a politician, but he idairtairtei
his integrity: Daniel was li pdUticiai, but
tl1 was a tento:aler to the las Ahraharrt
was a politician, hut he was always .'liarac-
terized as the father Of the faithful. Moses)
was a politician, the grandest of them, but
he honored God more th-n he did the Phar
aohs, and there arj hunlreds of Christian
men now in the political parties maintaining
their integrity, even when they are Obliged
to stand amid tho blasted, lecherous ani
lonlhsomeerew that sometimes surround the
ballot box -these Christian men doing their
political duty aud then comin-j back to the
prayer meetings and Christian circles as pure
as when they went out. But that is not th
ordinary oireumstanee-that is the excep
tion. Ifoiv often you see men coming back from
the political conflict, ad I their eye is glazed,
and their cheek h;is an unnatural flush, an 1
they talk louder thuit they usually do. aud at
the least provocation they will bet, add you
say they are convivial, or they are exceed
ingly vivacious, or you apply some other
sweet neme to them, "but Go I knows the- are
drunk ! Some of you. a month or six weeks
ago, hud no more religion than you ought to
have, and after the elections are over to cal
culate how much religion you have left will
be a sum in vulgar fractions. Oh, the pres
sure is tremendous!
How many mighty intellects have gone
down under the dissipation of politics ! I
think of one Who came, from the West. He
was able to stand out against the Whole
American Senate. God had given him fac
ulties enough to govern a kingdom, or to
frame a constitution. His voice was terri
ble t his country's enemies nnd a mighty in
spiration in the day of National peril. But
twenty glasses of strong drink a day were
his usual allowance, and he went dowi into
the habits of a confirmed inebriate.
Alas for him ! Though a costly monument
has been reared over his resting place, the
young men of this country Bhall not be de
nied the awful lesson that the agency by
which tho world was robbed of one of its
mightiest intellects, and our country of one
of its ablest constitutional defenders, was the
dissipation of political life. You want to
know who I mean? Young n', ask your
lather when you get home. Th adverse tide
is fearful, and I warn you against it.
You need not go far off to find the worn
out politician. Here he is. stumbling alonj.
the highway, his limbs hardly able to hold,
him up. Bent over and pale with exhaust
ing sickness. Surly to anybody who accosts
him. His last decent article of apparel
pawned for strong drink. Glad if, when go
ing by a grocery, some low acquaintance in
vites him in to take a sip of ale and then
wiping his lip with his greasy sleeve.
Kicked off the steps by men who once were
proud to be his constituents. Manhood ob-
iterated. Lip blistered with a curse. Scars
f brutal assault on cheek nnd brow. Foul
nouthed. A crouching, staggering, wheez
ing wretch. No friends. No God. No hop".
So heaven.
That is your wornout politician. That is
vi hat some of you will become unless by this
morning's. warning and the mercy of Go 1
yor.r steps are arrested. Oh, there are no
words enough potent, enough portentious.
enough consuming, enough damning, to de
scribe the horrible drunkenness that has
oiled over this land, and that has bent down
lie necks of some of the mightiest intellects,
intil they have been compelled to drink out
h the trough of bestiality and abomination !
y warn young men against political life, un
less they are teetotalers and consecrated
Christian men.
Again, I counsel you that when you go to
.ho ballot box at the city, or the State, or the
National elections, you recognize God and
appeal to Him for Hla blessing. There is a
power higher than the ballot box, than the
gubernatorial chair, than the presidential
White House. It is high time that we put
less confidence in political platforms and
more confidence in God. See what a weak
thing is human foresight! How little our
w ise men seem to know! See how, every
autumn, thousands of men who are clamber
ing up for higher positions are turned under !
God upsets them. Every man. every party
every Nation, has a mission to perform. Fail
ing to perform it, down he goes.
God said to the house of Bourbon, "Re
model France and establish equity." Houst
of Bourbon would not do it. Down it went.
God said to the house of Stuart, "Make the
English people free. God fearing and happy."
House of Stuart would not do it. Down it
went. God says to the political parties in
this day, "by the principles of Christianity,
remodel, govern, educate, save the people."
Failing to do that, down they go, burying in
their ruins their disciples and advocates.
God can spare all the political intriguers of
this day, and can raise up another genera
tion who shall do justice and love mercy
If God could spare Luther before the re
formation was done, and if He could sparft
Washington before tree government had been
iully tested, and if He could spare Howard
before more than one out ot a thousand
dungeons had been alleviated, and if He
could spare Robert McCheyne just as Scot
land was gathering to his burning utterances,
and if ne could spare Thomas Clarkson
while yet millions of his fellow men had
chains rnsting to the bone then He can
spare any man. and He can spare any party.
That man who through cowardice or blind
idolatry of party forsakes the cause of righte
ousness goes down, and the armed battalions
of God march over him.
O Christian men. take out your Bible this
afternoon, and in the light of that word
make up your mind as to what is your
duty as citizens ! Remember that the high
est kind of a patriot is a Christian patriot.
Consecrate yourselves, first to Gol, then
you will know how to consecrate yourselves
to your country. All these political excite
ments will be gone. Ballot box-3S and gu
bernatorial chairs and continents will smoke
in the iinal conflagration, bnt those who
love God and do their best shall come to
lustrous dominion after tho stars have
ceased their shinm?. and tho ocean has
heaved its last billow, and the closing
thunder of tho judgment day &jali toll at
the fuheral df a world I Ob; prepare" foi
that day !
YoU may vote right an i get the victory at
the ballot box, and yet suffer eternal defeat.
After you havecat your last vot, where will
you go to? In this country there are two
parties. You belong to the one or the oi her
of them. Likewise in eternity there will be
two parties and only two. "These shall go
away into everlasting punishment and tho
HgrUeSHs Ihtdlifc eternal. ' Td whi-h party"
will ydd belong? GO i grant that, while you
look after the welfare of the la l in which
God hdS graciously cast your lot; you may
not forget td look after your soul blood
bought) judgment bouudj immortal! God
save the people !
THE EXTRA SESSION ENDS
THE CLOSING SCENES IN THE
SENATE AND HOUSE.
Adjournment Came Very Quietly In
the Senate The House Knded Its
Bessidri Amid Lively Fiiibustrrdrl:
A liesunic of the Work Ddnfi by
Both Bodies.
The extraordinary session of the Fifty
third Congress, after continuing a few days
les3 than three months, adjourned without
day in the afternoon at il o'clock.
The ettd was calmly and quietly reached itt
the Senate, with ho spectators present,
The doors had been closed UpOfl the
Senators, who were ih eiedutive ses
sion for an hour or two before
Vice-President IMevenson's gavel fell, and
they passed from this state of secrecy
into final adjournment with only a mo
ment's intermission, a moment too brief to
be avaiied of by the public, who had been
driven tr im the galleries. The usual resolu
tion of tbankstothe Vice-President and to
the President of the Senate pro tem (Mr.
Harris), for the able, dignified, courteous
and impartial manner in which they bad
each discharged the duties of the Chair,
were offered by Mr. Iloar aud agreed to. Mr.
Harris expressed his "profound gratitude"
far the honor done hiin. Then the Vice
President rose and said : "Senators: My ap
preciation of the resolution, personal to my
pelf, kindly adopted by the Senate, cannot
be measured try Words. To your fSourtesy and
forbearance I am indebted for whatever
measure of success has attended my
administration of this great office.
The record of the first session of the Fifty
third Congres3 is made up. Henceforth it
belongs to the domain of history. Earnestly
wishing to each of you a safe and pleasant
journey to your home and constituents, I
now, in pursuance of the concurrent resolu
tion of the two Houses, declare the Senate
fcdjonrned without day."
There was a elim attendance on the floor
of the House, but the members who were
present showed great interest in the proceed'
ings and were seeking every opportunity to
get recognition and forward the passage of
Blind ry bills of local importance. Mr. Rich
ardson introduced a joint resolution pro
viding for the employment of Senate and
House clerks and employes during the
interval between the sessions. The entire
'lay was spent iu filibustering against the
measure. When the adjournment took
j)laee the House was in the pfocejs of voting
by tellers in order to discover whether a
quorum was present or not. But before the
vote was announced the hour of three came
around, the gavel fell, and the Speaker an
nounced that the House stood adjourned
sine die.
Now that the extraordinary session has
ende 1, it is interesting to recall what it has
accomplished. The session began on Mon
day, August 7. The President's proclama
tion calling attention to the distrust and ap
prehension concerning the financial condition
of the country, and statingthat he had called
Congress together to tho end that the peo
ple might be relieved from tho impending
danger and distress through legislation was
read on August 7 and on August 8 the Presi
dent's message, urging the prompt repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman Silver
act. was received and read
Tho House spent the first threo days ot the
session in organizing nnd discussing the
contested election cas3 of Belknap against
Richardson. On Friday, August 11, Mr.
Wilson, of West Virginia, presented his bill
repealing the purchasing clause of the Sher
man law. Debate on the subject was limited
to fourteen days. On Monday, August 25.
the bill was passed by a vote of 230 to 108.
The same day the bill was sent to the Senate
and referred tr the Finance Committee.
The next day. August 29. Senator Voor
hees, from the Finance Committee, reported
to the Senate a substitute for the House bill.
The next day the substitute was taken up
and Senator Sherman, of Ohio, opened the
discussion with a speech in favor of it.
Wednesday, November 1, All Saints' day,
the Senate substitute for the House bill
passed both Houses of Congress and became
law by the President's signature.
Of the 1135 other bills and thirty-six joint
resolutions introduced iu the Senate, only
about a dozen passed. They include bills
making appropriations for a hall of records
and the Senate folding room ; to aid the mid
winter exposition in California and relative
to homestead entries in Oklahoma, and a
joint resolution granting to the State of Illi
nois the brick battleship built in connection
with the World's Fair for the use of its naval
militia. This last became law bv the action
of the House.
In the House, 4291 bills and eighty joint
resolutions were introduced. . Committees
reported on about 150 of them and about
filty were passed. Among the more im
portant measures which were acted upon by
the House were the following :
For the relief of purchasers of timber and
8tone lands : for the protection of persons
furnishing labor and material for public
works ; amending the timber culture laws ;
fixing the time for holding United States
courts in Idaho and Wyoming (became a law :)
for the better control and to promote the
safety of National banks ; relative to the
disqualiflcatioa of registers and receivers
of public land offices ; disqualifying Jus
tices, Judges and United States Commis
sioners from sitting as such in cases in
which .hey are interested ; providing rev
enue cutters for tho great lakes. San Fran
cisco harbor nnd the New England coast ; in
creasing the number of army officers to be
detailed to colleges ; requiring railroads op
erating on territory over which right of way

A Quadruple Lynching in Tennessee
on 3Iere Suspicion.
Four colored people were lynched by un
known persons at a late hour in the night on
the Bconeville turnpike, one mile from the
town of Lynchburg, the county seat of Moore
County. Tennessee.
Three were men and the other was a wo
man. They were Ned Waggoner ; his son
Will Waggoner ; his son-in law. Samuel Mot
low, and Motlow's wife. MaryMotlow. Th9
Jynching was on the farm of Jack Daniels,
and was so quietly done that no one in the
neighborhood was aware of the fact until the
driver of the stage coach, who was the first
passer-by on the road next day, disco vered
the four bodies dangling from the same tree.
The victims were charged with burning
several nouses and barns in Moore County.
There is no clue to the perpetrators of thd
lynching.

In all the interior towns and cities the Re
publicans secured great gains, especially in
Erie County, the home of Lieutenant Gover
nor Sheehau. Tho Republicans recaptured
loth branches of the Legislature, and al
though several of the districts wereextremely
dose it was apparent on tho day following
the election that there would be a Republican
majority on joint ballot often or twelve. The
Seriate may be very close. New York City
gave fiiJ.Ofin majority for the head of the Dem
ocratic ticket, but Mr. Maynard'n majority
did hot reach 25.000. The entire Tammany
ticl et was elected by a big majority. In

mal Democratic majority of 4500. they
elected their candidate for Sheriff

County they elected their county ticket and
a Senator. In no less than a dozen counties

Secretary of State, Trea
surer, Auditor. Attorney-General, eight Ex
ecutive Councilors and a Legislature. There
Were four tickets Democratic, Republican.
Prohibition and People's. The Republicans
carried the State. The plurality for Governor
of Fred. T. Greerihatge(Republican) over John
E. Russell (Democrat ) was thirty-five thou
sau.l. The entire Republican State ticket was
elected by practically the same vote, and the
Legislature will have a few more Republican
members than the last Legislature had.
There was a net Republican gain in Boston
over Governor Russell's vote last year of
4741. and corresponding gains in the other
cities and manufacturing centres. Cambridge.

gain of 1300.

tor. There were two tickets -Democratic
and Populist. Reports indicated a Demo
cratic majority of 40.000. The Populists
failed to niake "gains in the city as they ex
pected. The Democrats are sure of the
United States Senatorship and also of their
State Court of Appeals. O'Ferrall wa.s
elected Governor by 30.000 majority.
Kentucky elected a Legislature which will
( house a United States Senator. The Demo

and eight Circuit Court Judges. The Re
publicans elected their State judicial ticket
by seventy-five per cent, of the 40.000 votes

the State University. There was a vigorous
contest, and a full vote was polled.
Iowa elected a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor.
Judge of the Supreme Court, Railroad
Commissioner, Superintendent of Public In
struction and a Legislature which will electa
United States Senator. There werethreetickets
in the field Democratic, Republican and Pro
hibition. The Republicans claimed the elec
tion of Jackson for Governor and the re
mainder of their ticket by 30.000 plurality.
They based this claim on early returns which
were pretty well scattered over the State.
State Chairman Fuller says the Democratic
State Committee concedes the election of
Jackson by 25.000 to 30.000. The Legislature
is certainly Republican by about twenty on
joint ballot nnd many districts have gone Re
publican for the first time in ten or twelve
years.

Broadway and Battery Railroad Company
on the north side of Fourteenth street.
The feed mill was demolished and a largi
section of the boiler was hurled across thf
street, smashing in the wall of a tenement nr.
the south side.
Two of the men who were killed wen
blown out of the feed mill clear across th
Street. One of them died in the hallway ol
the tenement, 534 East Fourteenth street
The other breathed his last on t lie sidewal !i
in front of ".';. Tin n'st of the killed wer.

roof caved in, followed by the collapse of the
side walls.
A large section of the Iwuler rose in the air
and went sailing across the street. It struck
