The Proposed Religion. Clause.

A correspondent demonstrates with
us, says the New York Independent, for
our opposition to the scheme for In
cooperating into the Constitution OF
the United States verbal recognition
of God as the source of authority and
power in civil government, and OF
Christ as the ruler among nations, on
the ground that such recognition is
necessary to preserve us from the in
roads of Mormonism and Buddhism-of
the latter especially, in view of the in
ereasihg Immigration from China and of
the opening Of the Pacific railroad. Our
corresponding appears to think that we
should nave laws to prevent the Nor.
mons and the Buddhists from exercis-
ing their freedom of worshin and tbot

ism established in its place. We ara
willing to take all the risks of sncb n
fearful catastrophy. Let the Mormons
and the Buddhists worship as they like,
and make all the converts they can: ii
Christianity, with an open Bible and
freedom of speech and actisn. is not
able to cope with and vanquish these
and all other forms of error, without thu
aid of penal statutes, she must and oagh
to be herself overthrown. He who ha
not learned this lesson compreheads nei

Medical Skill Bamed.

s A curious case for medical men has
just come to light at st. Mary's Hospital
in Detroit. 1t appears that about seyep
weeks ego q gentleman 10 that city
having retired in sound health the
night before, awoke in the morning and
was astonished at discovering during
the night his right hand and wrist had
swollen to fully twice their natural
size, and yet strange as it may seem, he
experienced no pain. A physician was
called, and the medicines usually ap.
piled IN cases of swelling were resorted
to, but without other effect than to in
crease the swelling. Other medical ad-
visers were called, but none were able
to give the angular disease name.
Four weeks elapsed, and the swellln z 2
finally ripened and discharged smail
quantity began to swell again, ana II
was soon worse than before. His ease
baff1ed the skill of the most eminent
physicians and surgeons OF the State,
and the patient was finally removed to
ST. Mary's Hospital. 1t is stated that
he has suffered little or no pain, from
first to last, but the hand isuseless. The
wrist and palm have assumed deep red
bne. and the circulation of the blood In
those parts seems to have entirely sus-
pended.

Discharged ON Account of Marriage.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer OF the 10th june
1901
w. Z. fancy, the clerk in the Surgeon
Generals office who married Annie Sur
raft few days ago, and is now oil on 4
honeymoon trip, was to-day discharged
by the War Department by a special
order.
The above is from the Washington
correspondence of the Commercial. 1t
is difficult to conceive of meauer or
more malignant act. If any thing ad.
ditional was required to stamp with in
fanny the Grant Administration, it
would suffice. The mother of Miss
Annie Surratt was murdered by mill
tary commission. We say murdered, be-
cause not only did the commission have
no authority TO try her, but facts have
since proven her innocence of Mr.. Lin
coins assassination beyond the posi-
bility of doubt. Her brother John,
after full aud searching trial i'll which
every effort was made to convict him by
the Government, in which it had sub
orued witnesses and jurymen. was sub
stantially acquitted. As to Annie her
self, no charge was made even by the
most bitter and prejudiced. But the
vengeance of the Administration pur-
sues her. 1t is not satisfied with taxing
the life of her mother and putting that
of her brother in jeopardy. The gentle
man who was so unpatriOtic and wicked
as to fall in love with her pretty face
and figure and marry her, is present
ed with q significant intimation o
the Administrations disapprobatiOn
While he is on q honeymoon trip, when
he requires more than the usual mean
to defray his expenses, he is dismissed
from the War Department. Poor Ami,
is therefore not only punished on &C
count of her mother and brother, but
she is made the instrument by which
her accepted lover is also chastised.
Mr.. fancy will please take notice
He has committed an objectionable Sill
BY marrying a lady who was under the
ban of the Government. He should not
have allowed his affections to stray In
that direction. How unfortunate is love
and how deplorable, when upon it alone
marriages are based. The Administra.
tion is determined TO have supervision
in all such affairs. 1t would be well
hereafter for all clerks in the Depart,
ments who contemplate mstrimony to
get the consent of the powers that be
TO the brides whom they have chosen
or to resign at once their positic:G4;.
Whether the Government will pursue
Miss Surratt and her new-made husband
-Taney-further, we are unable to
state. We bespesk its mercy. 1t strike.
US that the blood of the mother ought
to suffice, and that the knowledge that
it was innocently shed ought not L
constitute reason why tine daughter
should be followed with such vengefu
hate.
We ask all fair-minded and dispas
sionate Republicans what they conside
the merits of this transactions VIVA
do they think of an Administration tina
will countenance iti What of it
Iberality and tolerancef Are they no
heartily ashamed of their support of
Government that will resort TO such low
base and perfdious conducts

The New York Commercial says: There
is quite sharp contest going on for Mr..
Raymond's successor in the Times. The
principal stockholders in the concern
are George Jones, the publisher and
business man of the concern, who owns
thirty shares; James B. Taylor, fourteen
shares; Z. B. Morgan, of Cayuga, ten
shares; A. B. Stout, ten shares, and two
other shares owned by other parties,
making in all one hundred shares. The
shares are valued at ten thousand dol
lars, making the concern worth about
one million dollars. The different in
terest are divided as to who will be Mr..
Raymond's successor. One interest
favors George VIM. Curtiss, another
interest would like to see Mr.. Godkin,
of the Nation, and another interest is
pressing Mr.. District Attorney Tracey,
of Brooklyn. How the matter will end
it is impossible to say. The Times is a
prosperous newspaper, and is paying
dividends. 1t is understood that Mr.
Raymond made a will some time since
making Judge Benedict his administra'
tor.

The Season of Exhaustion.

The Season Of Exhaustion.
No matter how vigorous by nature the system
and the constitution may be, they must neces.
sarily suffer more or less from the depicting
effects of the temperature of midsummer, unless
strengthened and sustained by wholesome tenic
treatment. The extra pressure upon the vital
forces must be met and oounterbalanced by an
extra resistant power; the unusual and rapid
consumption of the animal fluids by profuse
perspiration, must be compensated by the per.
feet digestion and assimilation of the food taken
into the stomach, from which both the fluids
and the solids of the body are derived. Other
wise the physical strength declines, and the
mind, sympathizing with the machinery through
which it acts, becomes depressed and enervated.
A sTIMULANT is therefore absolutely required
at this season; not violent one, calculated to
produce febrile excitement. but something bchich

THE INCOME TAN.

4 lively discussion has arisen between
The New York Tribune and the New
York Times, in relation to the income
tax. The former advocates its discon-
tinuance on account of It's iDquisitorial
character, its temptations TO perjury and
evasion hv those whose taxes are heavy,
and, above 81, 10y the fact that there is no
longer a necessity for it. The Times
insists on its continuance, because it is
the fairest Of all taxes levied. 1t admits,
however, that there is no necessity for
the continuance Of so heavy Il rate as fire
per cant, and recommends its reduction
to t,so per cent, which it thinks is amply
large. 1t is stated that Notwithstanding
the well ascerlained fact that neither
Secretary Boutwell, nor COMMISSIONS
Delan0 viii recommend any modiiica-
ton of The income tax, the
question viii be- brought directly before
Congress at the coming session. This
tax expires 10y limitation during next
year. and it win have to be renewed dur
ing the session which commences in a
few days if it is to br continued beyond
the time named. A Washington letter
says Judging from the well known
views of Senators and members, it is
more than probable that the rate will be
reduced TO the old figure of three per
cent, or perhaps two per cent. A calcu-
lation has been made showing that an in
come tax, if properly collected, can be
made to yield twenty millions per annum
at the rate of two per cent

States, to learn by actual observation the

section Of our common country. The
heat and luminosity growing out of the

The Philadelphia 1gc says, and says
truthfully Surely good taste might
have suppressed this piece of political
slang in answer to a courteous invitation.
Mr.. Shrman's distinguished brother was
settled for years at the South. There
was no time, prior te the war, at which
any citizen, wishing to observe the re-
sources of the Southern States, could not
do SO. If he tried to raise a negro insu-
rection, no doubt he would have been in
terfered with, as he would in any com
munity the peace Of which was put in
jeopardy. But every adult man remem-
hers a time when he could have Travelled
from one end of the South to the other
with as much comfort and safety as in any
country in the world, on the sole condi-
ton that he did not violate the common
rules Of prudence and decency.
