MR.. HoAR's BILL.-The bill introduced in
congress from the committee on education and
labor, by Mr.. Hoar, Wednesday, proposes TO
create commission for inquiry into matters
connected with the labor question. 1t provides
for having the president, by and with the adj
vice and consent of the senate, appoint a com
mission of three persons TO hold office for two
years, unless their duties shall have been sooner
accomplished, who are to investigate the sub
ject of the wages and hours OF labor, and
the division of the joint profits ef labor and
capital between the laborer and the capitalist,
and the social, educational, and sanitary con-
dition of the laboriug classes of the United
States, and show how the same are affected by
existing laws regulating commerce, finance and
currency. The commissioners are to receive
salary of $4,000 each, and may employ a clerk;
and they shall report the result of their inVesti-
cation to the president to be by him communi-
Gated TO congress. This bill is still before the
house, to be discussed and disposed of in the
morning hour, unless some other order in re-
gard to it shall be adopted. We hope it will
pass. We have printed the bill in the Spy, once
or twice, but some Of orr readers may not re-
member its provisions.

OUR LEGISLATURE. The time for organizing
tbe new legislature will soon arrive. So far as
we have observed, there is general persuasion
that John E. Sanford of Taunton is the fittest
and best man to be chosen speaker of the house,
It's a good sign when man so upright, SO fair,
so irreproachable every way, as well as so capa-
bic, is brought forward prominently for the place
by the unbiased and unsolicited favor of those
who know him. He is one of the men who can
be trusted, and we hope the republican mem
bers of the house will be unanimous in selecting
him for their presiding officer. In the senate
there will be no serious opposition to rejecting
Mr., Coolidge, we presume He has acquitted
himself so admirably in that position, that he
ought to be reelected without hesitation, as he
undoubtedly will be,

A spick and span new word, fresh from the
MINT appears in the Boston Journal. There
are several chestnut trees in Connecticut, that
paper says, which "circunlferate" twenty feet.
We are no advocates of a hypercritical purism
in language nor sticklers for a serlile Difference
10 the authority of photographers or GRAMMAR
ans. We should not hesitate TO use word or
phrase, otherwise suited TO our purpose, because
ii might make Goold Brown stand aghast, or
Grant White break ont in impetuous denuncia-
tions. But one must draw line somewhere,
and we prefer 10 draw it a considerable distance
this side of "circumferate." The erratic iemi-
ger who invented this barbarous word is with
out excuse for his offence, since he could have
avoided it by slight circumlocution, or, if he
must have a synonym, there is "girt,' a
thoroughly idomatc word, for which there is
abundant colloquial if not literary authority.

brown stone fronts; there is more real grit and
stamina on that little peninsula, the city Of
Boston and its environs, than in any other
community of equal size west of the Atlantic

The Situation in Germany.
A LUTHER WANTED.


A correspondent of the London Conformist gives
the following account of the ecclesiastical situation
in Germany
Il had long conversation with an eminent Ro
man Catholic professor, who was one Of the depu-
ties at the conference held in Heidelberg. This
same professor has belonged for some years to the
Liberal party. His opinion was, as it seemed to
me, as characteristic as it was correct. He said
I'VE are waiting to what the government will
do If they declare openly and distinctly that they
will protect priests, teachers and professors, who
refuse to accept and teach the new dogma, then |
have no doubt great many will take position on
the subject, and our party will become numerous
and strong. II, however, they do not, then know
not what will be the upshot You see, it is hard
thing for man to give up his office and his veli
their hesitation This opinion was confirmed at.
terward in other directions. There seems to be a
total lack in the party of the stuff that martyrs,
cOniessors and reformers are made Of There is no
real religious enthusiasm. | have no doubt the
convictions of men like Dollinger are sincere and
strong but they are more intellectual and theolo-
gical than practical and religious convictions -
There does not seem to be much, if any, of the
feeling Here is a struggle for life and DEATH for
time and ternity; woe is us if We do not at all haz
ards bear witness to the truth !! And without
something OF thls KIM the masses VIII remain I'M
moved. As matter of fact, too, the masses of
the people take little or no interest in the move,
ment Nor as several agreed with me in think
ing, can they be expected to do so; for after all,
the dogma is but the PRONUNCIATION of the inarticu.
lated belief of the common people as implicitly
taught them by their priests; II one were unwil-
ling to go SO far this it is the logical outcome of
the position and authority practically assigned to
the Pope for generations. Here lies the weakness
of the so.caled old Catholics, the strength OF
the Ultramontapes"

Death of Charlotte Elliott.

This eminent Christian lady, known as the au
thor of some of the most delightful hymns in the
English language, died at her home in England
September 22d, 1871. The people of God helped
on their way to heaven by the hymn" Just as !
am, without one plea &C., will be found at last
multitude whom no man can number" The
London Record gives warm tribute to her mem
DRY and her writings. 1t says:
ut is not too much to say that no Christian
poet ever did more to awaken the souls of sinners
and point them to Christ Thousands in all parts
of the world have received, through the words Of
the hymn, Just as l am" into their hearts, the
saving truths of the gospel, and have found there
the peace and comfort which can only flow from
the truth as it is in Jesus, To have written that
one hymn is a far higher honor than to have worn
crown. and many will call her blessed for the
sweet and comforting assurance which it conveys.
"To all who have derived comfort and encour-
agement from her writings, it will be source of
thankfulness to know that she passed through deep
waters and the valley of the shadow of DEATH lean
ing on the arm of that Saviour and friend of whose
allsuffciency and preciousness she has SO wonder
fully and beautifully written. Being dead, she yet
speaks and will continue whilst our language lasts,
to speak of the power of Christ's blood to cleanse
and his grace to sustain. To all she has written
on this subject, there is now the added testimony
of her own experience in the time of sickness and
in the hour of death.

Another Great Publishing Enterprise.

Students of Theology and Philosophy of every
school will read with profound satisfaction the an
nOuncement OF a new and complete Theological
and Philosophical Library, edited by such eminent
authorities as Drs. Henry b. Smith and Philip
Schaff Charles Scribner & Co., New York, pub
fishers This series, preparations for which have
been made by both editors and publishers during
several years past, is intended to furnish compen-
dous textbooks upon all the main departments OF
Theology and Philosophy, especially adapted to the
wants Of ministers and students in all denomlna-
tions in word, simpifed yet full and sufficient
apparatus OF study.
Some of the works will be translated from the
German and other languages; others will be based
upon treatises by various authors; some will be
written for the Library by English or American
scholars. The aim will be to furnish at least one
condensed standard work on each of the scientific
divisions of Theology and Philosophy, giving the
results of the best critical Investigations excluding
however, such histories and commentaries as ex
tend through many volumes.
Among the subjects comprised in the Library
will be
BIBLICAL THEOLOGY. to the Old
and New Testaments; a Critical Edition of the
Greek New Testament; the Canon; Biblical The
oogy; Biblical Psychology; and perhaps Gram
mar and Dictionary of the New Testament Greek
HISTORICAL THEOLOGY Compends of Church
History and of the History of Doctrines; PATHS
tics Ecclesiastical Statistics; Jewish and Christian
Arch geology; Monographs on the History of Spe-
cal Doctrines, or of Signal Epoehs.
SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY - Encyclopedia of The.
ology; Apologies; Collection of the Creeds and
Symbols of the Church Collection of Theologi-
cal Definitions of Doctrine, in the various schools
of Theology, on the basis of Hase, Luthardt,
Hoppe, and Schweizer; Symbocs, or the Com
parative Theology of Confessions of Faith; Polem-
les, with particular reference to the Roman Cath
olic Controversy; Doctrinal Theology Christian
Ethics; Collections of Essays on particular Doc
| trines.
PRACTICAL THEOLOGY History of Church
Government; Canon Law; Homiletics Catechet.
les; LiLurgies, including Hymnology; Pastoral
Theology.
PHILosopHY.-Histo OF Philosophy Logic
and Metaphysics; the Philosophy of Nature;
Psychology; Ethics Ksthetics the Philosophy
of Religion; the Philosophy Of History.
On all these topics every student needs, at least,
one good work. To supply this will be the aim Of
our Library. The various volumes will be pub
lished in the best style, on reasonable terms, and
as rapidly as the nature of the work and the en-
enlargement of the public will allow. The editors
will be assisted by eminent scholars OF various de-
nominations who will respectively assume the lit
erary responsibility for the volumes prepared by
themselves within the general plan and aim Of the
Library.

never enter upon the order if the expense OF dress
was to be taken into consideration.
But, sir, to treat the subject in more serious
manner, there are MARI OF our lay readers who
would never wear this dress and who would be pre-,
vented from acting as lay readers by the very tact
that they were required to wear it. Sir the Amerl-
can people are not to be humbugged in this way.

the dignity of ecclesiastical legislation, and. IN my
opinion, if the Presider of the Convention has
left his Chair only for tn purpose, he might, with
better grace, have ker 1t.
