Mr. Euiron:
My Httoatijjlm jut boon a dial to
na arliclo in Iho 0 li j 13 j llisor 1 of
Juno 22, liouled ''Myora Explain bis
Harmon." In Ibo nrticlo of which n
Itjllor "About Gjloroi Ldo?lo" from
, .iieravdfjii 1 gaatlo.nu fj.-uii a part,
ho 8.1yd, " JI7 riilnr and gMtnlhther
were among the Gnat abolitionists ia
Ulster Cjuaty, Now York; my moth
er's only brother was killed in tho
battla on Autiatati; t'jrua of my ftitu
er's brothdrj wars in tbj war and two
of thorn worn killed iu battlo- Ono
of iny bro'.tnra U numod Abraham
Lincoln, aaothor Elinar Ellsworth
and a third Ojrtlaad II )33i." and
father says, "It seems very alraugo in
view of thcHO thinga tbit somo an
wise and over sentimental colored
porsou should have talked about my
being prejudico against thoir raoo.
"The above ia what ho has to say of
his ancestors, with an nrry of the
names of great and good nua in tho
bitckgrotiud. Tho following, in bold
relief, is a part of what ho said of
himself and hi.-i policy respecting
K colorod christians na delivered in bis
llrst sermon in Intu tnul R.tptial
Church Juno 2, and publiabed iu tho
Ohicigo RiCjrd of the sneceoding
day 'I uuddrsUnd that iintnanuol
Chii'ch is urittaur-'itio, yet iu somo
things thoy draw tho line hss strict
ly hrro than iu CiuciunaUi' They
ullow colored puoplo in tho church
and fjuudoy School. Peron'illy I
am not atrougly i:i favor of thit sort
of thing I unvo come to tbiuk that
the t.vo r.iQ93 should warship apart.
Tin 'I'laitioi hi? arisan in my mind
in to tin a iloro J chi ldreu, who ura
nmvortod iu this ch irch and wish to
jjto tho oougrisjitiou. I would noi
bn willing to immerdd thuui.,, If iho
Heveroued Jobtmou Mayors is'n chris
tian tuiniHter ho would not hive
I'.roto'iod stiah rot. Even were ho a
tiuamblo min ho wjuI.1 havoseon bow
. riiliculoua it must inako bim appear
both in the c'juroh an I out of it to
have hal snob rubish published.
Again, if this ao-callod preaoher has
iutelligonco ouoagh to pastor Iminan
uol Uhurch ho unit kn ow, vs every
body oUu knows, that descont from
ubolitiouist Btaott, diea not and can
not add ono jot or titlo to hie statue
and standing as a man, or provo his
friendship for an oppressed race.
How coulJ the colorod people be ex
postod to know anything about bis
ancestors, and evon if we did know,
iu the face of such scntimonts the
'luthorsbip of which ho baB now ao-
) kuonledged, how oould we be ex
pcotcd to foal otherwise than that he
is only anothor unworthy son of a no
ble a-ioeutory? Ho may have a pedi
groo as long as the moral law, but it
' will count for nothing in comparison
with his unchristian utterances.
Iu referring to colored pcoplo in
his lottor after revising w hat he had
previously said in his sermon, ho says,
"If they came to me and uskod mo
for baptism I would sond them to
their own church and to thoir own
people, not npou tho ground of chris
tian charily uor a laak of charity, but
upon the ground of expediency iu
christian Work." Christ taught his
disciples by parablo saying, "Q
out into tho hedges aud highways
and ooiupol them to come iu, that my
house may bo filled."
This preaohor proposes to do noth
ing of the kind, but to waitunil they
come to him and ask for baptism and
if perchauoo atuoug those seek
ers for Holy Baptism, thoro should
appear converts whoso souls had boon
wabhed by tho blood of Josus, but
whoso fuoes nro bla3k,he "would
Bond them to their own church und to
tfcoir own people," either to be bap
tised or lost; I supposo, beoioiis tho
soul of a uolorej christian is not as
snored in his estimation as tho souls
cf a whi to christian. John the Iiip
lif whow prwtia this man imitates,
did not think it "expident in christian
work" to stay his hand ia the Itivor
Jordan to ascertain whether those
who cama to him were Jews or Qon-
tilcn, rich or poor, whiio or black.
Ho baptiiod all who ctino to him
confessing thoir sinsuf every race, of
ovnry color mill of every tonguo.
Ohrist di'l not think it "expi'diout iu
christian work" to draw tho color liuc
wheu ho ive tho comniiudmsnts to
his disoiplcH, enyinir, "Qj ye tliereforo
and teauh all uations, bip'iztng them
in. tho namn of the V idior, and of tho
a n and of tho Holy Ghost." No die
tioctiou was mido as raoo or color
lotrnod or uulearuod, rioh or poor,
bond or froo. Yot tho lltsv. Mjers
would presnmo to pavo n road where
tho Mister has ml oil tho diviuo lino
to survey; a distinction which GoJ,
iu Hin wis lorn, baa not soou fit to
muko tho scriptures, ho would muko
iu tho Sabbath School and at tho pool
of a boulevard church whoro aris
tocracy" hooiiis sabitituted for re
ligion If bo were as honest and
oonsistaut in his convictions as wus
PiUte, he would huyo writtou a titlo
in largo letters und nailed it nut
upou tho crojo of Uuri.it, but upon the
door of tho church which boars lui
manuol's uamo.
"NiaOEBS AND D0Q3 NOT ALLOWED IN
SIDE." ltsv. Joussrj.v Mveui.
Ho eeems'to bo very anxious lost
colorod ohildruu, a few of whom at
tended tho Immanncl Sunday SjIiooI,
should become converted uuder bis
ministry and wish to join tho congre
gation, so ho cmphaticly declared in
his sermon, in caso such 0:1 evont
should tnko placo "I would not bo
wilting to immorflo thenv" Well, I do
not think thoro is much dauger of 11
child of any comploxiou boiug conver
ted or oven struck with onviutioti nn
dor his proschiog, and much leas a
Nogro child. As to tho stutemant
mado that on, "this Sunday in July
ho will fuco a largo numbor of colored
people,"! wish to siy, that if Immau
ud BjptiBt Church iudorse such un
christian policy by ulojting tho author
of it as pustor, I trint tho colored poo
plo will have tho good houhb and sul
flciout iudependonco 10 re ilvo for
bettor o" for tho worso, for ho.ivuu or
for boll, for lime cr for eternity to
ettiy out of tho Immanucl li;i;.iiot
Church As for myself, it a man,
bo ho priest, preacher or layuiu, u
unchristian in belief, go liil-d with
bitter p j 1 Jice'aud hatred (.f my iiico

GIVES TO THE POOR.
Tho young women who will mako
the most brilliant match of the yeir.
Miss Edith Rockofollor, wlioso en
gagement to young Harold McOor-
mick has just boon aonsuase 1, is of a
personality so diffjront from any oth
er of tho groat heirossoi of America
that hor marriage will bring n now
elemout Into (iromiuont uud weulthy
domostio life.
Miss Rockefeller, is tho youngest
daughter of John D Rockefeller
who ia tho riobor of tho two Rockefell
er brothers, oil magnates both of them
und his tlauca is a proud sou of Mo
Connie, tho roapor king, whoso in
ventions have mado a fortutiD for bis
descondanta iu all perpetuity, or for
hundroda of yotr yet to come.
To ndequatoly ostimato tho millions
of these two youug pooplo would bo
as impossible us to count tho dollars
which tho groit farming maobinca
will ma'o within a few years, or tho
millions that roll iu which tho filling
of countless barrels of oil from the
Standard's wolls
Tho faot of so much wealth, and
tbo prospect of so muoh tnoro ia what
makes tho personality of this young
woman so very interesting, and the
fact that she is a girl of one aim in
life so vory remnrkable. A variety of
deeds do uot flill hor days, a creat
number of topics do not absorb her
mind, sho has a few accomplishment,
and she is iu no sensa a "new" wo
man. She lives for Just one thino.
and that is oharityl Charity with a
capita) CI Charity bo boundless that
it oommeucos nowhere and leaves off
at tho same indefinite place. Sho
gives away eterything from advioe to
dresses, Hnd all her mooev. from tho
aum for which she must writo her
namn opou a obeok to the last stray
penny iu her pecketbook.

THE CHOCTAW MAT I Ell
Wahiisoton, July y Special. At

secretary of tho interior thia nfteruoon,
jufit beforo -1 o'clo:k. for tbo purposo
of finding out sjmothiiig cf tho socro
tary'a atlitule inlho Ohoatiw ricbt
of way caso in Oklahoma. Tho attor
ney general, who has beon iudica'od
iu thesa diepalchc, has all tho whds
beon somowhat onbtrraPB'd in this
case by reason of the fact that it has
come up siiiau Secretary Smith loft
town, and h'o has boeu unaldo to find
out what tha Interior waited done,
and as tho dopartniaut of joslijo is
simply Buppouad to bo carrying out
tho wishes of tho Interior in tho oaio,
tho new attorney general has boon oni
barra98ed to oomo oxtont.
Seurotary Smith on boiug askod by
tho attorney gonoral today about tho
caso, stated that ho had no interest in
tho matter. Tbo ropreaantntivea of
tho compauy iusistod that thoy cauld
construct and maintim the road on a
riixht of way not approvo 1 by him.
Personally bo did not know whothor
thoy woro ribt about it or not, but
when tho mattor had boon proBontod
to Mr. Onljy ho took tho position that
the compauy could not and started pro
coodicgd to tost tho mattor iu tho
courtd. Tho secretary nddad that ho
cured vory littlo about tbo caso uudor
tbo circums tuners.
Thisoutlino of tbo situation by tbo
secretary left tho now attorney genor
ul with tho impreeoion that thoro wbb
no call for prompt action in tho matter
for Qocuring iidditiouol injunction to
prevent tho company from coinplot
ing its line ever tho diepufrd right
of way betweon now und the 22nd inst.,
when tho nppoii taken from Justice
Suott'a court ia to bo givon n hoaring
by tho stipreun court of tho tonitory.
Mr. Harmon hid iutondod to tukn this
busty nation by wiy of protaatiug tho
interior, hhonld tho sroretury of tho
interior take tho position that bo h vl
any iuteroat in tho caso. Bat uuder
his changed viows in the matter, in
which ho appears to c iro but littlo for
it, Mr. Harmou will ullow tho former
order to remain" aa it npp lied to per
fecting tho appoiland forcing a hoar
iog of it on tbo 221. inst.
TI13 indications tiro very plain that
tbo offorts of tho roprcso ntativoa of
tho ojinpunyou Soarotiry Smith have
a modifying olFaa', for Homo time
ago he was vary cart 1 in that ho did
uot intend to bao down, and that bo
wanted desono by tha departmont of
jnetico. Since hia return from tho
eolith, tho company'e roprtreatativos
liavo cmiforred with thoSaarotary an 1
they appear to Imvo left him iu tbo
condition in whioh tho attorney gen
eral foutid bim today This is a vio
lout chargo of front 011 tho part of the
secretary, which hII tho people con
cerned will bo groatly interested iu
finding out about, with full particu
lars. The plan of tho compaoy's ropr030nto
t.voa waB mado known somo days ogo
und it appears to work nil right
enough. Their ."rot step was to got
Smith to beaomo attaohod to tho com
puny and thou ask tho attorney geu
eral to dismiss tho suit. Whiio tho
Secretary haa not asked fin attornoy
general to dismiss tho.auit, ho nppoara
to bocamiug around vory fust. Tho
attornoy General will bo urged thin
