He declared that the question under dis-
cussion was an universal one. We had
tried the tariff; it helped only a few people
to. get rich. We tried it by wrestling with
the money question, as if it made any dif-
ference to the wage earner as long as
production and distribution are controlled
by" combinations. These issues had been
sprung to detract attention from the real
issue.

is surely coming. A new party is being
organized, growing day by day all over
the country. When the, maximum of com-

and transform it into co-operation. This
will be done in a perfectly lawful, legiti-

CUT THIS COUPON OUT, fill up the
blanks and send it to The Tribune marked
“MAYORALTY CONTEST.” The vote
will be counted each day up to 1 o’clock.
The result will be published in The Trib-
une each afternoon.
There will be three Prizes, as follows:
“Texas has .aore average intelligence
than any othar state in the union I have
ever visited,” said Eugene V. Debs this
morning.
'That statement, taken in connection
with the advice Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson gave to young men the other day,
should prove a pretty strong advertise-
ment for the Lone Star state.
It is nearly two and one-half years since
Mr. Debs was here. He thought Texas
was a great state then. He thinks it is a
greater state now.
“Such intelligence among the farmers
and laboring people I have never found
elsewhere. In the northern part of the
state,' at Bonham, Cleburne and other-
places that I spoke, the farmers actually
drove in a distance of 25 and 30 miles to
hear what I had to say. They are posted
Yin economics, too. The rusty looking
fellows with trousers stuffed in their boot
tops were able to hold their own in a dis-
cussion of economic theories. Many of
them have read the best works on the sub-
ject and all evince a desire for the im-
provement of their condition.
“In the Texas cities I find a wonderful
advancement of the ideas I am advocat-
ing. I believe these ideas and theories are
destined to have a greater growth in Texas
than elsewhere, for the reason that there
is a tendency here to look upon things
from a broad and liberal point of view.
There is nothing narrow in Texas, and the
very expanse of the broad prairies and far
Stretching, fertile fields tends to widen the
mental horizon of any one who comes
here.”
Mr. Debs was given a sail on the bay
this morning. In company with W. V. Me-
Conn, D. B. Skinner, G. Herbert Brown
and a few others he boarded the naptha
launch Galveston and was shown the jet-
ties and other points of interest. This
afternoon at 3 o’clock he left for Beau-
mont, where he will lecture tonight.

New York, N. Y., May 22.—Dr. Benjamin
F. De Costa of the church of St. John the
Baptist prepared a sermon in answer to
Bishop Potter’s action in ordaining Dr.
Briggs and started to preach it, but after
he had talked for about five minutes he
was so overcome by emotional feeling that
he passed over the bulk of his manuscript
and dismissed his congregation with a 10-
minute sermon, but after the service he
gave out his manuscript with the an-
nouncement that he was unable to deliver
it entirely.
The sermon said, in part: “We live’under
a new dispensation. We have reached a
new epoch. The work attributed for the
last 18 centuries is now challenged.
Protestants are now engaged in rending
the Bible in pieces, declaring that it is not
infallible and that the Old and New Testa-
ment abound in myths and legends. At
the threshold of the 20th century theologi-
cal teachers all over the land are declaring
that the Bible was not made infallible-by
the guidance of God or the holy ghost. I
could not select a text from any part of
the Bible which would not be challenged
by some Protestant. This system of do^t
and denial has entered the Episcopal
church and its chief advocate has been
deliberately received into the mi
is known as the ‘higher criticism.’ ’ This is
revolution. I would fain turn away from
the issue, but the system of criticism un-
der consideration has been recognizefl as
allowable and within the liberty of all by
the official action of the diocese of New
York. This precedent must be accepted by
the body at large.
“There is now no question about the fu-
ture attitude of the Episcopal church in
respect to the Bible. 'The scriptures are
no longer to be enforced as an infallible
guide. The church has relaxed the ap-
pearance of authority and its interpreta-
tions may now be governed by individual
caprice. 'This does not follow from former
issuances, ending with the Briggs case.
Another has been forced upon the church.
Hitherto sacred places are illumined by
the reflected light of pagan altar fires.
Belief in the Bible as the inspired word of
God is ‘a fundamental doctrine.’ If this
doctrine is impugned, so are the doctrines
generally of the whole church. It is af-
firmed broadly in he general introduction
to the ‘Study of the Holy Scriptures,’ Dr.
Briggs’ book, that which we call the Bible
is not really the Bible; that earlier manu-
scripts have been lost and that the real
Bible is really yet to be found.
“But I wish to show that the system of
criticism established by the distinguished
author of the above strikes at what the
Episcopal church has ever held sacred and
fundamental. We still have the ‘ancient
authors,’ but these are valueless, for the
reason that they relied upon insufficient
scripture writings which, as our author
says, are ‘covered over with the debris of
traditional interpretations.’ On this testi-
mony we have no reliable authority for
apostolic orders, the belief in which is a
fundamental doctrine, and teaching of the
church is undermined and stripped of au-
thority. The facts of the case are per-
fectly evident and it is in vain that any
man haughtily undertakes to bring the
charge of ‘ignorance’ much less ‘malice.’
We should not fear to face the issue or
point out the nature of this joint attack
upon the Bible and the church.
“It has, been well said that the ‘higher
critics are now bivouacked around the
smouldering camp fires of Tom Paine.’ ”
' THE MAYOR
Of Galveston the Next Two Years i >
The one disagreeable feature about the
Eugene V. Debs lecture at Harmony hall
last night was the action of local poli-
ticians. Nearly all the candidates were-
there. Some of them “held up” the people
as they entered the hall, others made
themselves conspicuous every time the op-
portunity presented itself during the eve-
ning, while some solicited votes as the
people were departing. Each and every
one of the candidates wanted the union
men to know he was the real thing when
it came to being the friend of labor.
Aside from the undignified conduct of
the candidates the immense qrowd that
had gathered in Harmony hall thoroughly
enjoyed the lecture. Mr. Debs is not and
never will be an orator. He has a peculiar-
sing-song delivery and rarely gets above a
conversational tone. His enunciation is
very good, but when he talks fast he
jams words together in a bewildering
way.
Mr. Debs has a marvelous faculty of
giving exact expression to ideas that all
people- have lurking in their minds, but
can not explain. He has an analytical
brain, and his deductions are, for the most
part, plain and logical. That he has given
deep study to the economic questions he
discusses no one can doubt. That he.starts
men to thinking no one can deny.
Debs is as far removed from being the
firebrand he has been pictured as Andrew
Carnegie is from being an anarchist.
“If that man were an orator of the
and personality of Joe Bailey,” s
prominent divine who heard Debs
“he would stir men as no man has stirred
them in this century.
But even if Debs is not an orator he is an
intellectual cocktail.
His lecture last night was upon “Labor
and Liberty.” He talked for two hours.
The elaboration- of the subject was an ex-
position of. the attitude of labor in the
present economic condition, with the con-
clusion that the remedy for the evils ex-
istent lay not in the destruction of the
combinations and trusts, but in their ab-
sorption into a co-operative industrial
system, otherwise known as “socialism.”
At the outset of his lecture, Mr. Debs
said that man was largely a creature of
circumstance. He depicted the creation of
the tramp, showing that a man may not
labor unless the employer can profitably
use his labor; he is therefore compelled to
move on somewhere else, and move again
and again, meeting with failure after fail-
ure, until the end. v
“In every city you have your ‘Les Miser-
ables,’ ” said he. “Some time ago these
unfortunates in the city of London met in
Trafalgar square. The police were ordered
to charge them and they dispersed. As
they did so they gave a cheer for Jesus
Christ. Some persons said it was irrever-
ent, but not so. The lowly Nazarene never
turned his back on the suffering poor. (Ap-
plause.) He never had a dollar. His great
heart went out even to the vicious. He
was the divine agitator of the universe,
and he paid the penalty on the cross. (Ap-
plause.) He knew nothing about the
double standard or the single standard.
He had no desire to be a millionaire. He
had great sympathy for the sinner. It was
he who said: “Let him who is without fault
east the first stone.” Through all the cen-
turies since that time it^has not been cast.
(Applause.)
Mr. Debs said an economic revolution
has taken place. When work was all done
by hand the workingman received practi-
cally all he produced. Production and con-
sumption balanced. But men in these
days had to work long hours. There was
a demand for something that would short-
en the hours of their labor, and . labor
savfeig machinery leaped into existence.
In the days of hand, labor .the employer
was not extremely rich, the employe was
not abjectly poor. Now there are but few
individual employers. The employe used
to be able to look his employer in the face
and tell him his wants and obtain sympa-
thetic attention. Now we have corpora-
tions,'invisible somethings, which are yet
all powerful. The employer is the stock-
holdar who lives thousands of miles away.
E&^ares nothing for- the- details of the
business—only for its profits. Fortunes
are not made by hard work in these days;
they are made by the magic of manipula-
tion, which is a polite term for stealing.
Speaking of trusts as the controlling in-
fluences of this age, he said: “You tell me
in Texas that you are going to control
these combinations by statutory enact-
ment. You are doomed to disappointment.
It can’t be done. But sood will come of it;
when, you have tried the wrong way you
will find it out and try the right way.
^Trusts are the natural and inevitable
growth of the competitive system. Com-
petition inevitably, culminates in combina-
tion.” He then showed how fierce com-
petition in a line of industry would force
those engaged in it to combine.
The tobacco trust, he said, recently com-
pleted its organization and within a few
days thereafter reduced the price paid the
farmer for his tobacco- $50 a hogshead and'
increased the price for the sale of its to-
bacco' 10 cents a pound, and discharged
2000 traveling salesmen.
“A man makes a mistake when he tries
to* get more than he can properly use.
Woe be to the man who passes from.' the
control of his money to control by his
money; it usually costs him his life. Jay
Gould died 20 years before his time.”
It is said that every man is entitled to
all he can get. If that is true we are all
like beasts. The speaker pictured a. man
more powerf-ul physically th^n. all his fel-
lows coming to Galveston, taking by _ A uuex gut 11U.U me teoiueuee m i. JU.
force what all others had and reducing Mott at Tremont and L last'^Surday
them to the doing of his bidding. That - . - .
man, he.said, would be called a highway-
man. Then he pictured another man com-
ing to the city. This) man is a giant in
respectfully solicits your vote and
support.

Ah Enthusiastic Gathering of
porters Saturday Nigh;
The campaign of Dr. A. W. |
election to the office of mayor 4
at Harmony hall on Saturday n^-ht, where
over 1000 citizens assembled.
D. W. Ducie presided, and otl
platform were John Settle, M.
Sej, XX. XXOXlgC, dLlUge XVX. XU'M XX1CMCX ft,
Rev. T. W. Cain, John F. McLeankB. Tier-
nan, Sayers, Dr. W. C. Fisher,^Martin
Byrne, Dr. Clarence Warfield, Wiliw
Smith and others.
The speakers were John Neethe,
Attorney R. Waverley Smith, Judge i
Kleberg and Dr. Fly.
When Dr. Fly was presented he was re
ceived with a hearty welcome. He said in
part: “Having been born in a land of lib-
erty, where constitutional and religious
liberty form the foundation principle of
our government, I always have been
taught that I had the same right as any
other citizen to think and act for myself,
so long as I did not interfere with the con-
stitutional rights of other citizens. I have
learned that the Stars and Stripes mean
more than anything else.” (Great ap-
plause.)
“Those preceding me spoke of me in a
very complimentary way, but it behooves
me as a true citizen to tell of some of my
shortcomings. In 1894 during the regime
of the so called ‘hoodlum’ council, a lease
was gotten through that council for Peli-
can island. The five days elapsed before
my attention was called to it, consequently
it became a law. When I then consulted
the city attorney he said the lease was a
good one and I stood to the contract. But
the present city attorney said that the
lease was not valid and that it could be
broken. In January,,1898, a resolution was
offered in the city, council iastructing the
city attorney to institute suit to abrogate
that lease,-- The vote of the council stood 6
to 6, and as this was a tie I could vote on
that occasion and acted promptly in voting
to instruct the city attorney to bring suit
to cancel that lease (great applause) and
for that I am opposed.
“There is another point that may be in-
cidentally referred'to. During the summer
of 1898, when there was a general stampede
owing to a few cases of suspicious disease
at the camp out here, we were unjustly
and unlawfully quarantined for a few
days and the stigma placed upon the city
of Galveston as a place of infection be-
cause the state health officer wanted to be
a little over zealous. I claim credit, to-
gether with the health officer, Dr. Lee and
one or two other.'prominent physicians, for
having relieved :the city of Galveston of
that unwarranted quarantine and unjust
charge. (Applause.)
“There is another point not .yet alluded
to. The present health officer, indorsed by
the board of health,,has prevented an epi-
demic of smallpox in your community , in
the last two months. There have been
about 30 cases, but no deaths.
“Reference has been made to the un-
happy affair on the wharf last summer,
and about mobs I have to say, the word
mob was conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity. (Applause.) There is no
crime in civilization that justifies the use
of mob violence. When a man commits a
crime he should be arrested by an officer
of the law, should be placed in ja’l by an
officer of the law. He should be tried by a
jury according to law, and if found guilty
should be sentenced by a judge, ah officer
of the law, and if hanging be the penalty
he should be hanged by an officer of the
law.
*.,Le$ us be law abiding citizens. The con-
stitution of the United States guarantees
religious and personal liberty to every citi-
zen and provides that every citizen shall
have the protection of the law and shall
not be deprived of that protection.”
After thanking the audience for their
manifestation, on proposal of Judge Kle-
berg, three rousing cheers were given for
Dr. Fly.

Col.- Scully Expected Here to Make Some
Arrangement.
W. J. Scully, assistant quartermaster
general, United States army, headquarters
at New Orleans, was expected to' arrive
in the city today, but if he came none of
the local army officers was aware of it.
He will surely get in tonight or tomorrow.
No one knows the nature of Col. Scully’s
business here, but it is hoped that his trip
will have something to do with increasing
the quartermaster’s force at this place. If
not that, some recommendation may be
made' for the occupancy of the barracks
out at Fort San Jacinto'. The buildings
have all been completed some time, but
nothing has been done toward putting the
soldiers into them..
