We sympaahise with this new hero :.
We have sympsthised In the days Of
youthful novel reading with Jack
the giant killer; but va aEs afiaid thst
his success viii be more Of the kind
which has made iilustfiously Rrovsrbial the
brave lack of discretion disphysd by the
masculine bovine in Tho famous attack
upon the locomotive \Ths chaplain Is
small in stature, and thereby, when stand.
ing with his prayer-sling In readiness to
destroy the giant demon SANDER" his
likeness to the youthful Jack is strikingly
apparent But his sling il mot loaded with
the kind ofammunition calculated to bring to
the earth his gigantic enemies. A brandy.
sling would have served his purpose better.
Although his opponents are accustomed to
such weapons a. the, one last mentioned,
they have never learned to Withstand con-
tinuous attacks from them. He d excuse
bic for not making the substitution. how.
ever, on tho ground of his ignorance Of
worldly affairs. Chaplains rarely know
anything of practical worldly character
except on salary days. But we have sug-
sestion 10 make. 1t is . simple one. and
calculated to add greatly to the effective
ness Of tho effort. 1t is that the names of
the Indicators shall be mentioned, begin
ming with Dana, of New York, and ending
with the refugee from Chicago. When we
begin to particularize in this way the her
culean character of this new raid becomes
apparent. But it will not daunt the sub
lime faith of our chaplain, 1t is true that
Dana fell from grace long ago; that he has
persisted in his course of black mailing and
his association with everything vile until
he has become so debased as to Be Stunned
by his former acquaintance, and that he
has so degraded himself as to have lost the
respect even of his own family; but all
these things serve to make the effort for his
reformation all the more commendable. Of
the numerous devotees and followers of the
''demon giant" whose ISLANDERS are less
venomous, so far as intent is concerned,
than those of Dana, we have neither time
nor space in which to make adequate allu-
sion. But we unhesitatingly commend the
chaplain to the favor of his fellow religion
lists. Let them hold up his hands as those
of Moses of old were held up during less
unequal combat than the one he has begun.
If they fail in this let them organize under
his leadership into bands of colossal strength
for the purpose of prayers in the worse than
dens of iniquity in which the slanderers are
to be found. If paralysis does not seize
them then the fault will not be that of the
chaplain and his friends. But we despair
of successful issue of the attempt These
people are so wicked as to be impervious to
influence which would penetrate the heart
of Satan himself. Instead of being objects
of reformation they will turn upon the
chaplain and his supporters and visit upon
them such torrent of abuse, such an ava.
lanche of SANDER, as to overwhelm them
with dismay. Let the chaplain prepare for
this result: now.

PRAYING FOR THE SLANDERERS

1t seems strange, but it is nevertheless
easily explained, that religionists of to-day
almost unanimously reduce their belief to
practical illustrations of the efficacy of
prayer. The praying bands of women in
the West, the meetings of clcrgymcn in the
East and of Christian people throughout
the entire land, have had but one object
since the great temperance excitement
begun, and that has been to overcome the
evils of dram drinking. Dio Lewis, or any
other pious money making fraud, may assert
claim of having originated the movement,
but it requires merely casual knowledge
of current events to trace it back to its
direct and truthful origin The discussion
which agitated large portion of the public
not long ago about the efficacy of prayerful
appeal, known as the prayer test" had
more TO do with it than anything else. No
Christian woman, afflicted with the curse of
drunken husband, son or other relative,
could have read line of this discussion
without feeling an impulse to make an effort
to apply the test in her own behalf 1t
finally came to pass that the impulses Of
which We speak were combined in general
movement. How far the combination has
been successful our readers well know. We
have already asserted our belief that their
triumphs would be short lived, but we now
discover that their example is in danger of
being very generally initiated. People
interested in the suppression of other crimes
or vices than dram drinking are beginning
to apply the same method for the purpose
of securing the object of their desires. We
may expect very soon to hear of prayer
raids against the gamblers, against the bur
glars and against habitual criminals ofevery
type. Ofcourse. many of these raids will
prove to be impacticablc and the efficacy of
the prayer test will be disproven, but
not until the entire body of rcligionists in
the country have been convinced that vice
is still strong enough to cope with and
oftentimes master morality. This may
shake their faith slightly and discourage
them to some extent, but heroes will remain
among them to do battle unflinchingly until
the end. We have now in our minds eye
typical hero; q man whose faith is su
preme and whose trust is undaunted; aman
who is in religion what Don Quixote was in
cbivalry, and valiant exponent of every
thing that combines to make up the full
need of Christian belief in the Interference
of Divine Providence in mundane affairs
We refer, of course. to the worthy chaplain
Of the United States Senate, whose recent
prayer raid against "the giant demon
SANDER now stalking forth and casting q
shadow over all the earth" was no less Q
bold blow against one Of the evils Of the
times than tia movement Of the women In
the West, and his supplication "that the
hand Of the willful detsactor might be para-
lyzed as he wrote" is fitting supplement

THE NEW ROUTE.

The merchants of this city and George
town have taken the matter of railway con-
nections in hand, and favor the river route
for the Washington City and Point Lookout
railroad. All are agreed that the river route
is the best one for the interests of our peo-
pie. Some favor q crossing below the navy
yard, with draw bridge, and others think
it best to have the road cross above the
navy yard. We understand the company
are locating new line above the navy
yard, south of the Baltimore and Potomac,
thence striking the river front neer the foot
of Eighth street west This removes the
main objection urged against the bin. and
we hope Congress win settle the question
speedily by granting the right Of way to
the company.
