that time, the human race can only be
advised to endcavor TO live in conformity
with their commandments Few men have
anything moro than n dim perception Of
the scope and potency Of the prophetic
aud apostolic languagc but they may he
assured that it contains in itself the seeds
Of human regeneration. Instead of the
day having gone for such religion, the
time has come when IL IL most urgently
needed.
Mr.. RrGGLEs holds that something high,
and just. and wise must take the place of
the naterialisn, fanaticism, and hypoc-
risy that are SO widely prevalent. In this
we agree with him. His ideas, moreover,
are quite sound, so far as they go. Man
kind stand much in need OF n better knowl-
edge of their Creator, of the moral laws Of
the world, OF their duties and responsible
tics, OF their relations to each other, aud
OF the rctribution that follows upon evil
ways But will Mr.. RUGoLEs say where
we shall look for the most comprehensive
and satisfactory knowledge of these mat
ters7
In closing his letter, which we are COM
PEELED to abbreviate. Mr.. RUaoLEs asks:
" Does not our unjust and merciless rcli-
gion breed injustice and hardness in its
votaIics" Surely Mr.. RUGGLEs does not
mean to tell us that the religion of the
New Testament, OF the Beatitudes, Is un-
just and mcrclcssl Why, where did he
get his notion of Christianity? Certainly
not from the words or works, or life or
death Of its Founder, nor from the Ian
guage Of his apostles. We apprehend that
he got his notions OF II by studying the
very poor specimens OF Christians who are
So plentiful In these times. We must sur
misc that there are not only such speci-
mems IN Kansas but that Mr. RUGGLEs has
not seen any other kind. We assure him
that the so-callcd Christians who have
led him to suppose that Christianity Is an
UNJUST ard mcrcilcss religion" are not
Christians at all in the Scriptural sense,
but frauds, abomnable and hypocritical
frauds, the very worst enemies Of true
Christianity, the men who bring oppro-
brium upon its name, and lead simple
minded observers to suspect that IT is n
sham. We must invite Mr.. RUGGLEs to
study the true nature OF genuine Christian
ity. and the practical results OF n pure
Christian faith, in 4 better school, under
her teachers

quent decline Of twenty per cent, the
sellers broker must without delay carry
out the contract or make up the deficiency,
at the option Of his customer; otherwise
the syndicate will hold him to account.
When broker becomes bankrupt or n
defaulter his associates may be heavily
assessed but, inasmuch rs no customer is
allowed TO lose cent, the board has the
satisfaction OF knowing that public conf
dcncc, far from being impaired, is posi-
lively fortified by the incident. Under
these circumstances II Is not surprising
that the operations OF the Paris Bourse
should have received during the last de-
cnde remarkable development, or that
stock brokers M class should be highly
respected i'll France.
1t is by 10 means to the law OF the land
but exclusively to the integrity and fore
cast which control the counscls OF the
French board, that the customer owes his
security. Not only does the Code NAPo-
LEON refuse to recognize the gambling
transactions in puts and calls, which our
own courts will not enforce but II reso-
lutely declines to accept what are called
"time contracts" although these consti-
tute more than half the business, of the
Bourse-uness, indeed, the stock sold and
the price agreed on are both deposited in
trust for the performance Of the contract.
II is true that the Tribunal of Commerce
will take cognizancc OF such transactions,
but defendant need only appeal to a civil
court in order TO escape liability.
The operations of the Paris Bourse are, in
short, conducted on the principle that Gus
toners have some rights which brokers are
bound TO respect. We submit that our
own stock Exchange, which complains OF
n waning business, and whose vital inter
est it Is to secure the unequivocal conf
dcuce OF the public, might ponder with

A Little too PnternnI.

One recommendation contained in the
Presidents message. so far rs we have OBJ
served, has escaped criticism or comment;
yet 1t involves II principle OF no small con-
sequence. We refer TO his recommended
ton that Congress shall "provide, by suit
able legislation, that no citizen of the
United States shall hold slaves rs property
in any other country, or be interested
thcrelu."
This has specious appearance OF being
in the interest of liberty, yet in essence
and reality il partakes of the character Of
that paternal government which Is, in
itself but another name for human
slavery.
We have n territory OF our own 80 vast
that 1t is found difficult to protect our citi-
zens on its borders, or against the Indian
tribes. In the capital of the nation our
laws are treated rs dead letter by our
own high public officers. The Chief Clerk
of the Treasury Department has just been
convicted Of crime; and the most impor-
tant official peTonnge but one in the
White House has just been called TO plead
to an indictment; and yet the President
thinks Congress ought to busy itself pass
ing laws to govern the conduct of men in
foreign lands, merely because they happen
to he citizens of the United Statesl
How would our Government find ont
what personal property our citizens own
or are interested in abroadi Would n de-
tective be despatched to dog the heels Of
every traveller from the time he leaves
home until his returnf Or would the old
fashioned rack and torture, in keeping
with this crude idea, be revived. and sus-
pected persons be forced to tell what they
own
The American people have too much
sense TO go nstray in pursuit OF any such
chimCra n this We have more on hand
than we are likely to accomplish soon in

ritory.

The letter which we publish from Mr. l..
l.. RvGGLEs Of Salina, Kansas, contains "A
variety Of questions concerning the MOODY
aud SANKEY revival. In his opinion. these
rev Waists have made their appearance
nifty years too late. and are preaching n
decayed aud worthless religion. Now, so
far rs this is concerned, we hold that the
religion which was proclaimed by MoeEs
md the prophets, by the son of MARY and
his apostles, j. a thing Of permanent value
and vitality. That religion is ~ true to-
day AZ II ever was, and il is endowed with
D. much intrinsic power as it had when
first made known to mankind. 1t may
Ire that many of those who in these times
stand out as its eXpounlers, proplgators
and believers, fail to comprehend ITS
essential character, To enforce its original
urinclpl on To govern their own lives in
accordance iher, with. Perhaps, too il has
been widely perverted Ivy many Of lis pro-
fessed adhcrcuts; perhaps they have twist
Ell come Of Its features TIL they are
wholly awry; perhaps they have never
had any experience of it, genuine life;
perhaps much Of our so-called Christian
society is rather parOdJ than "A picture Of
Christianity; perhaps religion has not the
influence which il ought to have over the
human race and the practical conduct OF
the world; perhaps there may be churches
and sects which are sad commentary on
their creods But all this does not prove
that religion itself or the body of truth
found IN the Scriptures, ls worn out sys-
TEN Of quackery.
Certainly, If Moody and SANKEY preach
the Word as it was delivered; If, under
standing IL clearly, they apply IL fully
and practically, holding nothing back,
then they have not appeared nifty
years too late, and are leading people,
not into witherrd pastures, but to the
wholesome fountains of salvation. We
have freely expressed our own opinion
that these evangclsts are not properly
illuminated; that they have not altogether
apprchended the nature Of pure and uude-
filed religion; that they have failed in
many ways TO compass the full meaning
of Holy Writ; and that they have not
made just application of some of those
parts OF 1t which are its very essence aud
life. But yet we have hoped that they
would show themselves teachablr and we
thall indulge this hope till they themselves
compel " to give il up.
Has not the day gone" asks Mr. RUG-
oLEs, for the popular acceptance Of such
TehgionW We tell him that the day has
not gone for the spread OF true and genu-
Inc Scriptural religion. The majority OF
men have an inner craving for such re-
ligious truth IA is embodied In the Scrip
lures. That truth is fitted TO enlghten
their minds, TO guide their lives, to give
them grounds OF rejoicing here, and assur-
nnce of immortality hereafter. The mo-
Iality OF the Scriptures is perfect, and
obedience TO their precepts il the whole
DUTY OF man. 1t will be time enough e

was a hndrance to rapid writing and ac-
cordingly n third system was invented,
the Fra-kana, based like its predecessors
on the syllable rs n unit, md comprising
the same number of signs, but initiated
from n peculiar cursive form Of Chinese
chirography, whose rounded characters
are linked by ligatures as in our English
running hand. This was the work OF two
BONES who lived in the ninth century Of
our era, and since that date the Fira-kana
has been employed in the great majority
OF japanese books. Unluckily, the Ian
Ruage and literature of the Celestial En-
pire continuing to exert dominant in
fluence In Japan, many Chinese words crept
into the japanese speech, and these, when
written, were allowed to retain their ORR
ginal Chinese notation. Hence the curl
Gus mixture remarked in Japanese books
of Fin-kana characters and Chinese signs,
which adds not little 10 the difficulty ex-
pcricDccd by Europeans In reading them.
Its no reproach TO the japanese that they
have not invented an alphabet, consider
ing that every nation which has possessed
one, with possibly single exception has
borrowed IL from the Phnnicians. They
have tried since the beginning of our era
three different schemes OF notation, partly
derived from China, but vastly improved
and simpllnod in their hands. They may
be said to have exhausted human ingenuity
in the development Of that graphic system
which is founded on the syllable. They
can 60 no further in that direction, and
they do well to recognize the fact. They

Arabs, have done before them They
