this country , as to what is rlplit and lUtliiR
In the conduct of life , hut It lus
been found that In other lands
who-o society Is differently constituted
conscience makes different response * oil
tome mutters , ami It Is oven known that
wttli some tribes of men what we regard as
vices pass for virtues. HpcuUliiR generally ,
\vo may say the people of our own country
concur on the main points of morals.o

all eivillwl nations in ucneral agreement

comliUotiB and with like environment , n icc
\ery well toRother In their codes of conduct ,
thoiiRh widely at variance with us.
Not tlio Siiinci Cotistlrni'p tii All.
The notion , therefore , that all men the
world over are born with the same con
science , or the sumo elements of a conscience ,
is not tenable , Theio Is no one llRht which
lightclnox'cry man that conioth Into the
world. , .
About the most far reach lug and benefi
cent thing ever uono in this world was to
associate moral principles with divine
mandates. The superiority of Isreal's ro-
llRion to all otncrs In antiquity lay in Its
lendiiiR up to the statement that Cod
uttered the moral law to Moses. I\o matter
that this afllnnatlon was never made til
lifter Moses had been dead more than r > 00
years ; it came in time and In It was the
seed of unmeasured good , u made the ( loci
of Israel a moral bilntr , which Is more than
can be claimed for other cods of antiquity.
CriioslN of the Theory ol Conscience.
With a view to preserve for the moral law
the stamp of divinity , recourse was had in
the lirst place to the theory that God , In
making man , gives him not only a soul but :
conscience. 'J his appeared to ho n farnoblei
conception of tlio genesis of morals than the
old ono of a special revelation to the
Hebrews , and had the advantage of account
hip for the fact that in Persia , in China , in
India , In Greece and Home , many of the
same precepts sprung up which were taught
in Jerusalem , intuition became the great
word in relikious philosophy , supnloiucnt-
iiiL' , if not superccding revelation. Hut now
this theory is in need of mouillcatlon in its
turn. In a sense , revelation and in
tuition are both veritable. God did maicc
iinown his ways unto Moses ;
nothing has over happened , or is likely to
happen , to shake our faith in that. We have
only changed our idea as to how the revela
tion was made. So it also remains true that
the moral sense is older than Moses , has been
a human feature under all civilizations. Hut
man has not always been civilized , and there
are too many facts in the way of our any
longer supposing that everywhere , and from
his ilist appearance \ the earth , man has
had anything that would now be called a
conscience any Impulse urging ever so
faintly one absolute code of morals.
AlHo'.ntii JUxw of Hlght 1'nrcaclird.
The absolute law of right Is something
that has never yet been reached , if indeed
it ever can be. Jesus corrects the deutcron-
omist who wrote 1X10 years before-corrects
him repeatedly and essentially , ana eigh
teen centuries of experience have forced the
modern moralist to dcp.irt somewhat from
the teachings of Jesus. From this it has
been hastily Inferred that these men could
not have uttered the law of God , for God
docs not change. There never was more
shallow1 criticism or more fallacious judg
ment. What matters it whether God
chantres or not , so far as His law is con
cerned , since to man Ho must over appear to
change as the ages move ? To its own time
the Mosaic law was the law of God. To a
previous time , before society was organized ,
when men know no other way of maintain
ing existence than as beasts of prey , the
law of God ordained that very order of life.
The divine law for any stage Is that which
the conditions existing require.
I.H\T of Coil In tin ! savigp.
' I have observed that the savage has no such
conscience .is tlio civllircd man , 1 may go
further and say that It would not bo good
for him. The necessities of existence are
the ultlmato basis of the law of rliiht ; and
as the mode of existence laid upon thesavage
is as ( litVcrcnt in most respects from ours as
it is possible to Imagine , the law of right to
him is another thing altogether. Thus wo
must admit without blinking that God com
mands n ono age what ho prohibits in an
other. The expression commonly preferred
thaVGod commands always the same thing ,
and that men ionic only tardily to the ap
prehension of his commands suits better to
u theory of divinity cxteinnl to nature , but
does ' 'not suit well to the language of scrip
ture or to the facts of observation. The
butchery of the Canaanitcs by Joshua was a
terrible atrocity : but wo are not told that
Joshua misapprehended the Lord's direction
in the matti.'r. Joshua and his people- wore
barbarians , ami the law was laid upon the
barbarian m that ago to kill or to be killed.
Moral I.IHVH IScIng Continual y Unwritten ,
in civilized society another sot of condi
tions obtains , nnd another law Is revealed.
What was once right no-v becomes wiong.
What God once commanded ho now forbids.
It has remained for the present generation
of thinkers clearly to bring out the facts ,
Knowing that the conscience has been ad
justed to higher rules of morality from ago
to age , simply because the organisation of
society has been modified , and men llml
thoniPi'lvcR living mindst ditlureut swv
roundlm.'fi , requiring of them for their own
rood and tlio general irootl a somewhat dif
ferent comae of conduct. In turn the im
proved conscience lias icactcd upon the con
stitution of society , inducing further ad
vance. Thus the l'iw of righteousness ,
which is the law of God , is over hcinu re
written. His commands become higher
from ago to age ,
Iliiiiilnt ; oT tlio Imirr Light.
The rules of conduct developed by the con
ditions of human existence , and mod tiled by
every social change , aio to each generation
nnd to each race , as they stand revealed in
the conRcienci' , the law of God , Tiioro is an
inner light , kindled in Immemorial times ,
whluh has never gone out , and the mode of
which Is to shine brighter and brighter unto
the perfect day ' It is not now recogniza
ble as the same light It oncn was , From
ten thousand sources its llamo has been fed ,
Among contemporaries even it Is diverse ,
and the diversity is heightened in appear-
unro by the diversity of the mediums
through which It shines. Conscience In the
Jungles of Africa is like acandlcln tlin pesti
lential puses of a cavern , faint and dim ,
fclioulng Ilia path of duty with what scorns
to us startling aberration , In tins purer air
of our u'ivlli/cd communities it burns wiiha
clearer , steadier flame reveals many a
hideous outline at which int'ii once did horn-
ngo ami still do , nnd brings out upon the
walls of the future new ideals to bo striven
for. new glories to bo achieved.
Not u whit less glorious attribute Is the
fonsciiuico now ( lint wo nro beginning to sea

nnvthing In thcsu ilajs it is that all highest
things l.nve humblest origin. The secret of

Of nil the dark lines cnst by the spectrum
otourctvillratlon , that of anarchy Is the
blackest. The llrst Impulse wo have on hear
ing of the Infernal deeds committed by an
archists la that the perpetrators should bo
stamped out with the utmost cruelty of law.
Wo nro apt to Jump at the conclusion that
thcsovrctchcs are not men , but devils.
They nro cither right or crazy ; perhaps
both. My object In these remarks Is to ex
amine , if possible , Into the cause of anarchy
that some light may be thrown upon Its
cure.
The anarchist may bo crudely nnal.vwl as
composed of four parts , misery , courage ,
Ignorance and crime. I IIP hut they who
have eyes and see not. r-ars and hear not ,
can deny that less miserable * exist today.
Hundreds and thousands of our fellow
creatures , with capabilities as high as
lien von , are steeped In the drops of despair ,
/'his widespread misery is the blot upon our
scutcheon , 'lo remedy it is the problem of
the ace. Hoth givcrnmcnt nnd church
should address Itself to this taslt. Govern
ment spends too little llmo In the considera
tion of this question. The church also must
ivall/o Us mission. It has been too busy
battling for unessential opinion and hem
ming In the broad salvation ot God by fences
of selfishness. The church of the past has
busied itself with creeds and ceremonies ,
thu churcl' ' of the future must be a church of
magnillccnt philanthropies , prcat universi
ties , world-wide missions nnd practical poll-
tics. For it Is Christianity alone that can
heal the deep-seated miseiy of man.
Courage is admirable even in devils. But
thoroarelwo kinds of courage. The anar
chist has the courage of despair , and this
works only destruction. If be had the cour
age of hope ho would boa most valuable
member of society. His Christianity alone
that can change despair to hope ; Uiat will
inspire hunger and poverty with optimism.
Outside of the principles taught by Jesus
Christ i ou will find nothing that can effect
such a change. It must bo accomplished ,
for there is no salvation elsewhere.
It Is the superficial idea that laws will
suppress crime. Laws certainly are valua
ble to some extent toward this end , but they
must be the right kind of laws that is ,
they must ho Just in their operation nnd cer
tain In iheir execution. All laws that are
cruel and rash and variable feed erlnio. The
people must have coulldcnce in the law.
Governor Altgcld might have pardoned the
anarchists of the Haymarket without doing
much damage , but when ho undertook to
usurp the function of the courts and bring
the law into confusion and contempt bin
action tended to foster evil.
The only real antidote to crime is that
body of principles laid down by Jesus Christ.
Thcso principles alone give hope to reform
ers , as has been stated above. They are
the chief stimulnnt to organised effort.
Thcso principles encourage the family.
Children are hostages to fortune , a house
hold is the best balance wheel for a re
former. They inculcate sobriety. They are
fruitful in industry. A house and lot is n
great cure for anarchy. They teach the
sanctity of human life.
Infidelity is the anarchy of the spiritual
world. The Impish delight with which an
Ingcrsoll throws his bombs of wit and sar
casm among the highest ideals of men is
only comparable to the cleo which iho
wounded Vaillant exhibit ? over bis deed.
The sneers and criticisms at the church maybe
bo well taken , and nonq are more ready
than Christians to acknowledge the iniuer-
fcction of their attenmts to rcaltro the nrin-
ciplcs of Christ , but he who sends the shafts
of malice against the broad principles of
Christianity , against faith in God , and trust
in the Saviour Is a moral anarchist. .

liiHiirnnco < lom to the Aged
1'nthtr Mngto City Ncun.
The funeral of the late Henry Hclscr was
conducted from ttio Presbyterian church
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock under the
auspices of the Hoyal Arcanum. Hov.
Kobcrt I , . Wheeler preached the sermon.
Fully fiOO persons crowded themselves Into
the church and the words of the pastor \\ero
impressive nnd listened to with much In
terest. Ho complimented the Hoyal
Arcanum for turnhicr out In Ktic-li Inrirn
numbers nnd briefly noted the oed results
of membership in tiuch an order. Society
was quick to criticise tlio conduct of a way
ward younp man. When a man's sins wcro
exposed it was easy to criticise. Some bad
saiu to him that In this case a shot of justice
had been fired. If this wcro true many
guilty ones had escaped. He thought nil
were too caicless anil should bo more
charitable In criticisms. Ho snoko feel
ingly of the splendid light with death the
younp man bad inndo , ho having bravely
laced the grim monster for seven long
weeks , Ho hoped that when this spirit wont
out on thu sea of death an an cl followed It.
Mr. Wheeler was a daily visitor to the
hospital during the entire time the patient
was confined there. Mr. Uelser had said lo
him that he did not wish him to say at
his funeral that Helser had lived the life of
a sinner and died n s.ilnt. He felt that ho
had done manj wrong things and requested
all younir men to repent and lead a more cor
rect life than ho had himself. During all of
his sufferings Heisor never spoke an ill word
of the woman who shot him or any other
person. Ho simply said , when questioned
about her , thai she must have been Infatu
ated nnd "lost her head. " He denied all re
ports to the lust tti.it he had over been mar
ried.
ried.Tho
The singing by the choir was excellent.
.Solos were sung by Mr. Cnrley and Mr.
Smith.
The floral tribute by the Hoyal Arcanum
was nu emblem of the order , a crown , repre
senting the colors of the order with thu in
scription "V. M. C. " This was laid upon
thocoflln.
The pallbearers wcro Frank Broad well ,
Tom Flynn , Harry Tagg. John Flynn , C. M.
Hleh nnd Onko Ihnen. The members of the
Hoyal Arcanum mot at tncir Hall at 1
o'clock and went in a body to
the church and also marched to the
cemetery at Albright. While the church
was packed , only a few went to the ceme
tery outside of the members of the lodge.
At the grave the Hoyal Arcanum core-monies
were conducted by John H. Knox , regent ,
and M. C ! . Xerbe , chaplain.
The only relative present was Alexander
Gregg of Chicago , who was a cousin to the
deceased , Mr. Gregg was given full charge
of the funeral.
Mr. Hciser had $3.000 Insurance in the
Hoyal Arcanum. At his request this money ,
with the exception of tlio expense of his
burial , will be paid to his father. Ho re
quested that the money bo paid over to Mr.
GrcgK. to be kept In trust for his father.
There Is some feeling among the members of
the Hoyal Arcanum 'in regard to the decis
ions of Mr. Grcgp. Uo refused to allow the
extra expense of having Hciser attired in anew
now collar , cuffi and necktie and also to per
mit the face to bo shaved. He also reduced
the expense of carriage hire to ono hack , and
that was the ono ho rode in himself. The
$3,000 insurance money will bo paid to Mr.
Gregg as soon as he pivrs ths lodge a satis
factory bond. Tills the gentleman will no
doubt be able to do , as no is reported as be
ing quite wealthy.
Prior to the tragedy Mr. Heiscr was a
man who believed that a man who sinned
got bis punishment on earth. While nn his
death bed ho received a cablegram from his
aged father which read : "My son , trust in
God nnd believe in the Lord .resus Christ. "
His conversion followed the udvico of his
father and bodied believing that all matters
were not evened up on earth as he had
thought in the past.
As yet the Hoyul'Arcanum has not taken
any active steps to assist in the prosecution
of Mrs. Hudigcr.
They Mailu Her Immlc.
Nellie Baker , a young colored woman from
Omaha , came down lo the city last evening
to deliver some laundry on the row on
Twenty-seventh street. While In thcso
houses she was treated to several drinks of
liquor , which made her very hilarious.
When she went to take the car on Tweiity-
iourtb and N streets about fi o'clock she be
came so boisterous and abusive to all men in
sight that Otllcer ISmerick locked her up.
It is said that the woman works hard for a
living , and seldom conducts herself as she
did last evening.

A peculiar case of chicken stL-allng was re
