The notion of the convent Ion will be
Imply In the line of glvliiR evidence to
congress of the Htronjj demand tliroiiKlmiit
the country for the iiimbugi of the Cnlloin
1111 nml to nrrance fur a eloign lion to
Ko to Wnlilnitiiii to Inbor In the Interest
of the hill The opposition to t tie new
measure on the part of the rullrouils Is due
to the fnrt that they lenlizu that the Inter
state commerce law in Its present form
Ik Impotent the llmllngs of the commission
cannot be put In force Theio Is another
reason for the iiihiiii of the Cullom bill
nt this session If It rocs over there Is n
possibility of the repeal of the existing
lnw owing to Its unsatisfactory working
In Its present comlltlnn Ami If It In re
pealed an Impetus will lie given to the
theory of government ownership which Is
gaining friends under the piesent unsatis
factory law
We nil realize that there must lie gov
ernment control of common carriers hut
government ownership Is nnother thing
Sentiment nil over the country Is over
whelmingly In favor of the proposed
amendments among shippers and broad
gauged railroad men as well

New York Nov 20 -Two fierce on
slaughts on lie church of Koine en
livened the proceedings at yesterdays
session of lie general missionary com
tiiitlee On cadi occasion an audience
which filled every part of the large
auditorium In SI iliuls M 10 church
where the committee Is meeting broke
lulo applause and no ellort was made
by the chair to check these demonstra
tions of approval
The general committee which Is com
posed of all he bishops and leading
divines In the Methodist church of
America has been In session daily
since Wednesday last Upon several
occasions however when reference
has been made to anything pertaining
to the Roman Catholic church the
same spirit of defiance has been appar
ent Upon no former occasion how
ever has that church been denounced
In terms ko timiuultllcd nor has the
approval of the audience been given
vent In so vigorous applause
The first person to advance to the
attack was Bishop Goodsell of Ten
nessee In the course of an address
on the work of the Methodist Kplsco
pal church In Italy he said The
work is slow but Its value lias been
recently testified to by the pontiff him
self who has honored us by excom
municating every one teachers and
pupils alike connected with our Insti
tutions of learning This however
has made us more determined to wipe
out n system which lias created out of
the former man of empire a cringing
beggar with a monkey und a grind
organ
The applause which greeted this
sally was deafening
The next speaker threw the gauntlet
to the church of Rome in terms as di
rect and condemnatory as did Bishop
Goodsell This was Rev Dr C W
Drees who for a number of years lias
been Identified with the work of I lie
M H church In South America lie
said
The time Is upon us when anew the
questions which appeared in the Prot
estant Reformation will begin to agi
tate the world and demand to be
pushed to their final issue After
slumbering for four centuries these
self saine questions were awakened
through the last act of Infamy of the
pontill In declaring himself infallible
Within 21 hours nfter that blas
phemous declaration had been written
on the triple crown of Rome the Prus
sian armies Invaded Catholic France
Forty live days later the battle of Se
dan was fought with Protestant Prus
sia the victor and 20 days had only
elapsed when the united armies en
tered the Holy City where the pope
held sway bringing with them car
loads of bibles The pope lost his tem
poral power and since that day the
creed has been weakening
The Roman church at one time held
sway everywhere but now both that
church and the Spanish domination
have fallen off their high pedestals
When Spain is arraigned the Roman
Catholic church should be arraigned
with that power as co respondent
Kver since Isnbella signed oway the
liberty of Spuln to the pope there has
been an Illegitimate alliance between
statecraft and priestcraft against
human liberty and human progress

MORTGAGEES CLAIM BEST
Important Cattle Suit Deoldml by St IiiuIh
tedellll Court
St Louis Nov 20 A decision of the
first importance to live stock commis
sion linns and cattlemen generally
was handed down yesterday by the
United Slates circuit court of appeals
in the case of Evans Snider UucI
Co vs W P McFuddeu et al A
largo per cent of the cattle business
carried on in the southwest is done by
money loaned to cattlemen by commis
sion firms in St Louis Kansas City
and Chicago which Is secured by mort
gages upon live stock purchased
The decision sets forth clearly the
rights of the mortgager In transactions
of this kind us compared with owners
of old claims or Judgments against
the mortgagee
The record lu the case shows that
In June IStii the Evans Snider Huel
Co ndvanced lohn P Blocker of
Bexar Tex 1B000 and took two
deeds of trust covering 0773 head of
cattle in pasture near Muskogee I T
In lune 1810 William McFndden
Son coininenced suit by attachment
against Blocker for judgment for -87
which the nttachlng creditors had
recovered against Blocker In Jefferson
country Texas In May 1887 In
July 1801 the Evans Snider Buel Co
gave bond as Interpleader for 150
000 and retained possession of the cot
tie In January 1S07 judgment by de
fault was rendered against Blocker
Subsequently the Issue arising on the
Interplea was twice tried and resulted
In each case lu a verdict in favor of
the Interpleader which Judgments
wore however reversed on nppeal by
the Indian Territory appellate court
The mnjorlty decision by Judge Thayer
says We prefer to rest our decision
on the ground that the act of congress
operated to validate the Interpleaders
