Current Notes

The special correspondents who are report
ing political meetings in Southern Ohio repre-
sent unusual Republican enthusiasm. The
meetings addressed by Gen. Hayes are much
larger and more enthusiastic than they were
two years ago, and greatly exceed the Demo-
cratic meetings in numbers. .
B. Gratz Brown sends long financial es-
say to St. Louis paper, in which he opposes
the contraction of the currency and the ma
tional bank system. It's of no use, Mr..
Brown. The nation will always regard you
as small placard dangling at the coat tail Of
Horace Greeley.-Worcester Gazette. e
The World says: "Of course Democrats
consented to the insertion of the financial
plank in the Ohio platform, or it could not
have been put there; but they weakly con-
sented to it in the hope that it would be good
bait for Republican gudgeons." Now, will it
ell us how it thinks the baittakes?
The Republican journals of Pennsylvania
express great confidence that the State will
give good Republican majority next fall.
They assert that the confident feeling in the
party is rapidly growing; that old feuds are
healed; that the Republicans are beginning
to work in earnest, and in good spirits; while
the Opposition is divided, faint-hearted, and
Indifferent.

The Pamphlet War.

To Americans the hatred and distrust with
which Englishmen regard the Papacy are
ludicrous and not easily comprehensive.
The persistence of Mr.. Gladstone's attack on
the church of Rome seems to many of us
misdirected energy, and we wonder why that
statesman retires from immediate dealing
with the affairs Of state, to occupy his time in
the writing Of pamphlets of polemic nature.
1t is difficult for us to comprehend why a
great nation should 60 wild over. the conver
sion of one man to the theological opinions
OF Rome, or why the conferring of red hat
upon Catholic priest should arouse grave
and general apprehension.
A glance at English history ought to make
the mystery clear. The struggle with the
Papacy is not religious but political one.
Englishmen do not so much object to the
Catholic dogmas as they do to Church
which is entirely independent of and above
the State. They cling to their creed not so
much because of profound belief in it as be-
cause it is national creed held by no other
people. They take pride in their religion as
they do in their government, because it is ex-
clusively English. The Establishment has
been identified with the struggle for freedom
and progress ever since the Restoration.
The Catholic church, on the other hand, Is
identified with the arbitrary rule of James,
with the insurrectionary attempts of the
Stuart pretenders, with the vexatious Irish
question of to-day. The struggle between
Professionalism and Catholicism in other ma
tions of Europe was in effect brought to a
close long ago. In Great Britain it is, be-
cause of the Irish connection, yet to be
fought oct. Although O'Connell proclaimed
that Irishmen took their religion, but not
their politics, from Rome, Englishmen have
never been able to dissociate the two. The
apparent political bearing of the dogma of
infallibility has quickened the distrust they
have ever entertained. They are a conserv-
alive people, not prone to sudden changes Of
opinion, holding to judgments and pleju'
dices with tenacity surprising to quicker
minds. .....
-r In truth, if it be allowed that the church
of Rome has not let go of her purposes, tha-
she adheres to her traditions of political pol.
icy, the fears of Englishmen are not ground.
less She is certainly stronger to-day than al
any time since the Reformation. Her losses
in the Old World have been more than made
up by her gains in the New. The taking
away other sovereignty over Rome has not
in political and scarcely in pecuniary
sense, been disadvantage. Fear of what
Mr.. Gladstone expressively calls "the pallid
scheme Of Atheism" is driving many devou'
souls into her ranks. She is quite as aggres
sive as ever before in her history, and as vel
equipped for battle. In the view of English
men Mr.. Gladstone's warnings are timely
close attention as his previous writings.

Ma gazine Notices.

The Westminster Reuiew. for July, has just
Publishing Co., Contents as follows Sunday
and Lent: Macready's "reminiscences; AIlo-
tropio Christionity; The Pacific Islanders
Protection Bill; Education in Prussia and
England; The Guicwar of Baroda; House Ven
tilation and Warming; The Evidences Of De-
sign in Nature; Contemporary Literature.
Article l., beginning with Lent, maintains
that there are no valid ecclesiastical reasons for
observing it, traces its history 'in the early
Christian church and in the time Of the Refor-
nation" and refers to such Of the various prac-
tices and ceremonies connected with it as are
likely to prove interesting points of contrast
between the past aud present; and then discus
sss the question of the observance of Sunday,
the nature of its authority, and the degree ofits
obligation.
Article ii. A dissertation on the decadencs
of histrionic art enters largely into this article,
which is rather an essay on Macready and the
character of the stage than review of the Re-
miniscences
Article III. "When a gas assumes form
so far differing from its normal form as to be
practically distinct gas, it is called by chem
lists allotropic. Thus ozone is allotropic oxygen
Now as ozone differs from oxygen, so does Mr.
Haweis' Christianity differ from the Christian
ity of the New Testament. Hence we have
ventured to give to the religious system set
forth by Mr.. Haweis the name Of Allotropic
Christianity" The article Is devoted to "the
consideration of Mr.. Haweis' theory ''of what
is called Natural Religion, and then his theory
of Christianity"
Article Nv. relates to the slave trade now
practsed among the natives of the South Sea
Islands.
Article v. is a history and comparison of the
British and Prussian educational systems.
Article vi. The Guicwar having fallen into
lawless practices in regard TO his own subjects,
and been demonstrated with by the British
Government, is supposed to have instgated an
attemptIto poison Colonel Phayre, the British
Resident at his court. The government is slow
about taking any decided steps in regard to the
matter, and the inefficiency of the Anglo Indiah
| administration is severely criticised.
Article VII. explains the evils to which we
| are subjected by cold draughts and want OF
| proper ventilation. and gives plan for sup
nlvipg houses with an unlimited supply Of
| pure warmer air.
Article VIII. This long and interesting arti.
Gle carefully reviews the evidences of design in
nature, coming to the conclusion that they are
not only insufficient, but absolutely nulL 1t
then gives hypothetical sketch of the history
of creation, based upon the theory of "trans-
formation by natural selection and survival OF
| the fttest.'
The reviews under Contemporary Literature

THERE are about thirty English and Amer
ican clergymen in attendance on the Old
Catholic conference which began its session at
Bonn Thursday. Some bishops of the East
ern church are also present. Among the
American divines are Rev. Drs. Langdon,
Nevin, Potter and Parry, DIR. Dollinger
opened the proceedings with an address last
ing an hour. He treated of the relation of
the dogmatic controversy between the Latin
and Greek churches to the whole course of
ecclesiastical history. The conference then
entered upon the business for which it met
the consideration Of DIR Dollinger's plan Of
confederation and inter-communion among
the separated churches. This union is to be
based on the mutual recognition ofprimi-
tive truth, which may enable each church TO
admit members of other communions to its
privileges in respect of divine worship
and the Christian sacraments. At the same
time an actual fusion, or the sacrifice of ma
national or traditional peculiarities of form or
church constitution, and an unambiguous ex-
preston of the substance of Christian doc
trine and practice as taught by the Bible and
fathers of the ancient church is sought as the
real band of union.

THE venerable Horace Birney, who died
in Philadelphia Thursday, at the age of
ninety-seven, will be chiefly remembered in
our political history by his connection with
the old United States: Bank, of which institu-
tion he was director. As member of the
XIII Congress he took part in the great
debates relating to the Bank, and was one Of
its ablest and most determined supporters.
Probably no man of that time was more
heartily hated by the Jacksonians. At the
close of the contest he retired from the pub
lie service and thereafter devoted himself to
the legal profession, in which he won high
honor. His defense of the city of Phi;adel-
phia in the suit against it brought by the
heirs of Stephen Girard is one of the most
celebrated legal efforts ever made.

The Infamous opponents of the late war
are very indignant when their record is shown
up, and with well feigned horror demand if
those who do SO are going to continually fight
1t out on dead issues. Nevertheless these
same persons have continued to this day to
heap up abuse upon the leaders of the old
Federalist party for their opposition to the
war of 1872, and hold them up for the detes-
tation of mankind. The crime Of Emery,
Pillsbury & Co., was greater than that of the
old Federalists. Shall we cease to forget at
the end of a decade? Not if we know it.

THE plans of the Ohio infationists as set
forth in the Cincinnati Enquirer must be de-
cidedly unpleasant reading for those Maine
Democrats who honestly believe in hard
money, and who have reason to fear that
their national convention will adopt the
Western heresy. Being asked how the gov
ernnent can get an additional issue Of green
backs into the hands of the people the En-
Quirer says: .,
The government might pay off bonds at gold
rates; it might take up the bonds held for the
national banks, substituting greenbacks there.
for, and thereby stopping $70,000,000 per year
in the shape of interest. 1t may not have es-
capped the attention of the public that the gov
ernment pays out a good deal of money In the
course of year. 1t collects about $500, ,00O, 900
annually from the people. If it stopped tax
ing the people for few months, and paid out
its new notes, it would afford considerable re.
lief, and at the same time enable the people to
get hold of the new issue. The government
never gave away its currency. 1t always
bought something from the people,
The Financial Chronicle furnishes some
instructive comparisons between the present
financial depression and that Of 1872.
The panic of 1887 like that of 1873 was caus-
ed by imitation of currency, expansion Of
credit, and the consequent reckless specula-
tion. Then as now confidence was struck
down, and real estate and other investments
deprecated. Much talk was made of reviv-
oftrade in the spring, but many springs pas
sed before there was return of prosperity.
Prices had to come down, surpluses to be con.
sumed, wages reduced, land middle.me driven
back into productive employments. Our
course Of frecuperation will have to be much
the same. 4.+- .n4.-s.. .sal
