NEW YOn , I eh. 2 . -Tho attempts male ,
to prevent Colonel Robert Ingersol from de-
lvering his lecture on "Tho holly nble" at I
the Hoboken theater tonight proved a failure.
' As a result of a protest issued , by the pastors
of three of the most 11rorluent churches In
that place , Mayor Fagan yesterday Issued
orders that the theater be elosel today ,
thereby practically debarring Colonel Inger-
sol from nl'pearlng. The mayor's decree occasioned -
I
casioned a great deal or comment last night ,
with the result that the matter was reconsid-
ered today.
Before ncon Corporation Attorney : Unlur
and Mayor Fagami called upon Hev. 11. T.
DeaUy , the minister who .s at the head of
the reorm movement In Hoboken , all stated
that It was the opinion of the
corporation attorney that no steps could be
taken by the authorities to stop the leclure.
Shortly after noon a consultation was held
In Chief of } plce Donovan's office , at which ,
c I In addition to the chief the mayor anti Mr.
" Clark . manager for Colonel Ingersol , ant Mr.
"l DavIs , the manager of the theater , were pres-
ent. The two managers were Informed of
the decision of the cOflraton attorney , and
p they departed with the assurance that the
lecture mlrht be given.
To prevEnt any disturbance on the part of
the audience and , aho to stop any blasphemous
utterances on the part ff the lecturer several
detectives wrre sent to the theater from
police "lead'lunrters. '
Beyoll frequent bursts of appl'use the audience -
dience va'e mnoet Grderly and the speaker
connned hlmEelC almost entirely to his text ,
with an occasional Ironical alusion to time
. ' clergymen of 1ohoken and the statute oC
'I New Jersey law to which time reCormers hal
been clinging. lie began his well Imuwn
lecture without any reference to the attempt
to stem him until he had reached a point in
the discourse for which ho had evidently
been waiting-where he alludes to time Ignorance -
norance and savagery In the bIble. lie brake
- awp.y from his text long enough to say :
" 'here was enacted 1 statute In the state I
of NowJorley a hundred odd years ago , when
most oC its inhabitants were savages , which
says that nobody shall ever discuss tie bible
except on one side. Since then time inhabitants : -
tants have grown more civilized. . They have
grown to have a ImowlEtgQ oC Call play :
they have been civilized 10 a degree where
they cnn realize Its absurdity : and to realize
that the statute sleeps In the dimness of the
past. I baa been Invoked by a number or
narrow minded persons who , shouhl have
. " Jived 300 years ago. 1 don't blame them ! ;
thQlr heats are that shape and they are tnt
to blame. "
J
lie saul hIs andlence could make up theIr
minds "h secret" about whet . . he hat to say. '
for he believed "t ere was no statute against
that. " That the blhl was inplred he had
sonic doubt , "but , " he added , "If the legislature -
turo of New Jersey says the 1ble ! Is Inspired ,
It Is and that settles it. "
Colonel Ingersol grew more biter as the
lecture , progressed and declnrd there never
was any kindness In the heart of a priest
ant he believed there were persons In Ho-
' bolten today who would gladly bring faggots
anti buIld a fire around 'ono oC their enemies.
10 said that no criminal lawyer In the state
Qf New Jersey would allow I mInister lena
a Jury that was to' try a cle'nt of his : " I
was surprlsll . he said later on , how , much
these persons knew if.God and how little they ,
knew of human nature.

COLUMBUS , 0" , Feb. 21.-IU. Rev. John
A. WatterHon. bishop oC the Columbus diocese -
cese , addressed a big meeting at the Young
Men's Christian as oclaton today. As many
persons us gained admittance to the hl
were turned away. This \ 'as th . frst time
In history that a Catholic clergyman had
addressed I meeting under the luslllces at
the Young len's Christian association , and
naturally attracted ride attention. The
bishOp was Introduced by General Sqcretnvy
\Y. T. 1O\ltI5 , and fPolte fur an hour anti
a half on Chrlstlnn citizenship , the audience
being held In rapt attention , and trequent ) '
breaking Into 111111 use. \Vhen the bishop
advanced emi the platform the applause
amounted to nn ovaton , and he thanked
the audience for their generous welcome.
I showed him. he enid , that they did not
regard him lS a bul In a china lhop , and
especially a Imp:1 bull In the beautiful china
shop of the Young Men's Chl'lltnn ussecia-
tion. The climax of his eloquent utdess
was reached In the following passage :
" \Vhile 1 am uncompromising In the mat-
tell oC my faith and inflexible In those hues
oC conduct which dlpcI11 on the prlnclllles I

SALEM , Ore . , Feb. 2 , -The struggle Cor'th
election cf a successor to J. N. Dolph In time ' '
United Stats senate , which has ben carried
on In time legislature for thirty-three days ,
came to n close at 1 :45 : p. mum , last night by
the election of George W. McBride , ex.t ere-
tary of state. The eJnte1t has been a bitter
one front begInning to enl , and up to thirty
minutes before the hour set for final al-
journment I loked as though there would bo
I deadlock . Senator Dolph hell thlrt ' -c\'en
\'OtE9 sold , enough to ( Iciest nn clecron , up
to 11:15 p. m. , at which lme a recess was
taken for five nmlnmmte3. The excitement was
growing Inten < o , and It was evident that If
Oregon was to have two senaters In the
next senate something must be lane at once ,
as midnIght , the hour set for final adjourn-
ment , was rapidly npproachlng.
When the joint assembly was called to
order again the first few names called
showed no change Inote , but when the
name oC C eton , a strong DOlph man , was
reached he arose , anti hnmedlately time vast
assemblage became sient I was evident
sonic acton hat been decided UpOI by the
Dolph men. lie spoke for a couple of mln-
mites , and when he mentoned the name of
McBride time house broke Into a wild humlh.
lie then recorded his vote for McBride Each
succeetlng republcan whose name was called
voted for McBride . and when he had received
Cortynveoles , the number ntcsrary to a I
choIce , aml the great confusion and cheer- .
tag a loton was male to have all time
republican votes recorded for McBride , ant
It \\'OS carried wih . a rush.
McBride , therefore , received seventy.two
vote , being that of every rellublcan , In the
legislature. He was In no sense a cal1lhte
fOr the once , though his name had
ben mentone In connection with the sen-
alorshlp. The contest has been a remarkable
cne In many respects. One month before the
legislature met It was considered a rtn'nty '
that Senator Dolph would have no oppr lon
for election , but front that time until the
legislature met the free sliver mEn began a
campagn ! to defeat him. They had no par-
tcular candidate , but simply were opposed
to Dolph on account of his views on the
money question On the second day oC the
session the repubtcans went Into caucus ,
when Dolph received the unanImous nomlna-
ticn . The vote In separate session wa taken
one week from time tme of the caucus , but
twenty-feur members who _ had voted for hIm
In caucus refused to do so In separate sea-
sion He received a majority In the senate
but lacked one In the houae , his total vote ,
however , In the two houses fcotng up fort ' -
e'ght , a majority of two The next day In
joint session four more votes left him , which
prevented hIs election hy one vote. He con-
tnued to trop off from day to day until
his support got down to thIrty-eight The
opposition stool firm , ant It became evident
several days ago that Deplh could not be
e'ected ' though his supporters agreed to
stand by hIm to the lut Rather than cause
a deadloclt , however . they yIelded at the
last moment , and brought forward McBride
upon whom all Cact'ons could unite , and he
was chosen on the slxlEth ballot.
George Wahtngton McBride Is a native
son of Oregon , having been born In Yamhl
In 185 lIe Is a son cC Dr James McBride .
who was well known as one of the earliest
and sturdiest pioneers of this state. McBride
was educate In the common sclrols and at
: ant
Wlamete university , Salem In 1867 his
parents heft Yamhl county and located at SI.
lelen ' , Columbia county , at which place he
has made his home ever since. In 1882 he
was elected to the Oregon house cf represent-
atves , and was subsequently chosen speaker
or that body. In 1886 Mr. McBride was nomInated -
mated by the republcans for secretary of
state , and was eleeted. His popularity Is attested -
tested by the fact that two the princIpal
nomilees on the ticket with hIm-governor
amid , treasurer-were defeated. Mr McDrde :
l'erformet the duties of his once r sats ,
CaclerllY that he was renomInated hy accla-
maton In 1890 , and re-elected by I handwme
majority. le served out the full term and
retired the first of tile present year , 10 give
way to his successor.

comIng week of the legislative session prom-
laos to be one oC unusual Interest , 1 Is
harily Probable thnt much wil be /ecom-
1,1s"led In the way of the transacton of
routne work tomorrow , as the greater part
of the day wi be given Ull to time dIscussion -
cussion of the Omaha charter before the senate -
ate commitee on municipal affairs. On Tuesday -
day morIng , however , everythmiumgvihl give
way to the varIous consttutonal amenll-
monte that have been Praimosed during the
session. These amemlments will como up asa
a special order at 1 o'clock Tuesday mornI I
Ing. .
leyoml any question the pending ameml-
ments to time commstitutiomm are the most 1m-
consttuton
Ilortant measures that have been brought before -
Core t"le legislature at the present sessIon.
Time present consttuton , formulnte,1 , twenty
years ago , requires revisIon In ninny essential -
tnl partictmlars. I does not possess the elas-
tcity required 1 In a charter suiable to the
needs or a rapllly growtng state. Its re-
Itrlclons to the proper Investment of the ed-
ucatonal humUs oC the state are too severe ;
its Imlntons as to the numher of execut\.c
officers arc too nnrrow : its provisions In re-
gard to the judiciary too nlrro\\ ' .
There arc two ways In \\'hleh the state oC
Nebraska may oblnln a charter suitable
to her neCessities. She may holt n constitutional -
tonal conventon nt an enormous expense , ,
with no certaInty that t'mme work oC that con-
venton wi meet the approval of the people
after I has been completed I may by separate -
arate nmendments secure time constutonal
provisions that seem to be demanted by the
rowth anti Increaset wealh of the state.
The hatter plan has ever .thllg In Its favor ,
whie there Is everything to bo said against
I comivemitton . Time work of the convention
may be rejected by the people , and In flint
case the expenditure of nearly $200,000 will
have been wasted On the other hand , the
rejectiomm of the Imendments woult only In-
volvo the cost of printing the lmroclammmatlons .
There are many good reasons for time be-
ltef , however , that time eoplo of the state
are Inxlous to vote on the amendments , The
'
needs oC the state are well recognIzed Time
people arc fully awake to the lmiatons oC
the present constitution , Time presentation
of fifteen amendments nt once , Printed on n
separate ballot , will make the campaIgn of
special Interest , and the voters will bo much
more apt to see tbe necessity of voting on
these prepositions than they have been In
past elections , when one or two amendments
have been offered and made a sIde Issue.
Inasmuch as the senate has set apart next
Tuesday for the consideration of these amend-
ments , a more extended revIew of their pro-
vIsions wi bo pertinent at this time .
TEST OF CITIZENSHIP.
One ' of the most notable at the consttu-
tonal , amndmmments 'S ' the one , relating to
citizenship. The present constitution provides
that every male person of the age of 21 years
or upwards , who shaH have resided In the
state slxmonths , , and In the county , precitmct
'or ward for time , tme provided by I\Y , shall
bo an elector. providing ' tlat , he Is ( ' citizen '
-of thetlnitod States of foreign
- the. Unied or a person foreig
birth who has t c1nred his Intenton to become -
come a citizen oC time United States thirty
days before election. .
The amendment under consideration In the
senate very materially alters the qualnca-
tons of the voter. lie must be a citizen of time
United States for at least ninety days before
the election. This means that ho must have
complied with all the laws oC the United
States and have received his final papers.
In addition he must hav been a resident
oC Nebraska for nt least one year preceding
the election nt which he proposes to vote
of the county for at least ninety days , and of
the eleclon precinct at least thirty days.
The most Important provision , however , Is
the one which recites that "no person who
shal not be able to read his ballot In the
English language and write his name shall
ever exercise the privilege of nn elector In
this state. " I Is provided that thIs nmend-
meat shall not apply to any person prevented
by a physical disability from complying with !
its requirements , nor to any person who now
has time right to vote , nor to any person who
shah be 60 years oC age or upward at the
time time amendment shal take effect.
It may be argued that time educatonal provision -
vision Is somewhat hmarsim but I is wel urged
by all friends of good government that any
man who has been a resident of the United
States for five years and who by applying
for papers of citzenshIp Indicates his desire
to become an American In time legal sense of
the word will certainly find It no hartshlp to
lear to read the language of the land of his
adoption.
INVESTING THE SCHOOL FUNDS.
One oC the amendments provides for more
elasticity for time Investment of time permanent -
elastciy
nent educational funds of the state. These
funds have at present grown to large pro-
portions. The state has over $2,000,000 Invested .
vested In bonds , and these Investments are
Increasing every year. Naturally many of
the bonds are now beginning to mature , until ,
as they are paid , the necessity for Immetlnte
reInvestment under favorable conditions becomes .
comes urgent At present , under the old con-
mititution , thee funds must be invested In
sttton
UnIted States or state securities or registered
county bonds. The proposed amendment pro
vides that the funds may bo Invested In
United States or state securities , registered
county bonds ant registered school dIstrict
bonds , thus adding school district bonds to
the list In which the state Is permited to In-
vest Its idle funds.
There are two added provisions which will
commend themselves to the citizens of time
state. One provides that the Board of Edim-
cational Lands and Funds may sell from tints
to time any of the securities belonging to the
fund and reinvest the proceeds In securIties
bearing a higher rate oC Interest whellever an
opportunity for better Investment Iresents
itself. ThIs Ilrovlslon will enable time bodrt
Isel.
to make many reinvestment for the bene-
lIt oC time funds , and will tend to prevent the
accumulation of large sums of money In the
hands oC the state treasurer. The oIlier
legal detimmition testate
added provIsion gives a dennllon
state warrants , a 111 provIdes that when any
warrant upon the state treasury regularly
Issued In Pursuance of an npproprluton by
the legislature anti secured by the levy oC a
tax for its pa'ment shal be I'reaented to the
state treasurer for Iayment [ , and timers shal
not be any money I the proper fund to pay
such warrant , time Head of Educational ,
Lands and Funds mn ) dIrect the state treat- !
Urlf to pay tIme amount due on such warrnt
from moneys In hIs hamls belonging to the
permanent school fund , anll ho shal holt the
warrant as an Investment of said fund
The adoption of this amendmcnt wil save
time taxpayers thousanda of dollars thaI are
now paid annualy as Interest on state svar-
rants. Since time state began to spend more
than Its Income the state treasurer has paid
out practically $2fO.OOO In Interest on state
warraqtr. The Board oC Educational Lldl :
and Funds has endeavored to obey time law
passed by the legislature oC 1891 , which reo
qulrt1 the payment of state warrants out of
the school fund , but the supreme court has
decided that no holder oC a warrant may
be compelled to sell his warrant to time school
fund , Time imropased immendummcmmt will shut off
time warrant broker and turn time interest out
time state warrants back into the pockets of
time people.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Time present constitution is like a straight
jacket with regard to executive otiicers , It
hinmits time nummmber of executive officers to
governor , secretary of state , auditor , treat.
urer , commissioner of public lands ammO state
school superintendent. This limitation has
been ovaileit In a dozen instances by the
creation of eiub-omcers , who are drawing sal-
cries wltlmotmt hmarlng any responsibility. One
of time proposed aniendmcnts reads as follows -
lows :
Time executive department shah consist
of a govenimor , hicimtemmnnt governor , secretary -
tary of state , atmditor of tamblie miecotmuuts ,
treasurer , memhenitmteiiiieumt or lflibhie immetitme-

stammce , time state treasurer , vhmo is Imommiled
for $1,100,000 , receives a , salary of $2,500 ,

TilE JUDICIARY.
The necessity of eniarglmmg tmo supreme
court has bach apparent for years. One Of
time proposed amnemmdmnents provides that tIme
judicial norer or time state clmail be invested
iii a supremmmc court consistimmg of five judges ,

OF INTEREST TO CITIES.
One of tIme amendmemmts proposed authorizes
cities to amend thmeir own charters , under
condtions thmat are htercfater to be prescribed
by law. Another authorizes the merging of
the gorernmnents of cities of time metropolitan
class with those of the counties in which
thmey are situated , under conditions to be
prescribed by law.
Still another amendment will place mammim-
factures op the same plane witim internal
imnprovements In regard to receiving aimi , by
a two-thirds vote , under restrctions as to
amount.
FUTURE AMENDMENTS.
It is proposed timst Imereafter all amendments -
ments to the constitution slmahi receive a
two-timirtlo vote of time mmmemmmbers elected to
each of the two houses and ratified by
three-fifths of timp votes cast on time propo-
sitlon at any general electioim in favor of
time amendnment.
Another anmendmnent provides that all votes
aimahl be by ballot or aucim other method as
mmmay be prescribed by law , prcvldlng that se
crecy of vot'ng ' be preserveml. This ammmemmd.
mmment will perimmit time introduction of time dcc-
trical voting machines , now authorized in
New York , and which give promise of corning -
ing into general use.
If all timese amnendnments receive the necessary -
sary three-fifths vote of the two houses they
will cure nearly every defect in the conatltu.
