there has developed in this state within the last few months, a feel-
v.iug of patriotism., a repugnance, lor those, ideas,. eleni9nts,and men
that have been arrayed under; different banners, in. opposition tohe
welfare and progress of tho state, such, as has not been manifest for
several years., u Apparently there are many persons who are realiz
ing for tho first-time, the full extent, of the .almost irreparable, injury
done by the various bands of destructionists that have united in
thearmy of populism,, that has swept oyer the state in a more or less
.triumphant manner, a movement that three and a half years ago pro
duced in, thiqcity,an open revpjt against the law and caused the cor
ridors of the state hquso to gleam, with, the bayonqts of soldiery:
that sent abroad at that time a message of disorder and anarchy and
fraud, that created, a .lasting prejudice against Nebraska; that at thi

Because Mr. Stead came to Chicago and ran up against, thalevil
and wrote a book about ii there has been a great sensation. The
other side of "If Christ Came to Chicago" has been presented by a
writer in tho Outlook, of New York, who says:
Christ has come to Chicago and Mrl'Stead has' failed' t'6'f discover
him there. Thatlis, perhaps, not strange, for Christ alwayd 'works' in
quiet, unscnsational ways, dealing not with the surfaco of life, but
did not know' that ho ha'd come; theydidnot-pcrceive his presence,

John the Baptist, a prisoner by the Dead Sea, wondered whether
the Christ liad coitfedr the' wdrldVas to whit for lan6thef.1 'The
very disciples whoj followed I Christ did noti comprehend" him',' and
wondered. wjhy.ho didnot,begip his,,wprk,lwhilo all.theltimb he . was
carrying i on. So it is not , strange that, Mr,Steatf has vjsited Chi
cago and not discovered that Christ has' been there before 'him, and
was busily at work there.
