IN its own pain. Insy express KItId or en-
forced pleasure at the 4cmocratic complexion
Of the House Of Representatives 1t is bet
ter that that party should come to the con-
troll Of one House of Congress in 1875 than
that without any trial in recent years it
should come to full control OF the nation in
1877. Unfortunately there is not much that
Congress can do, and still more unfortu-
nately these legislators have not the power
morally to do the little that is possible-to
cut down taxation, reduce expenses and pre-
pare the nation for prosperity. The repub-
iicans Will have majority in the Senate, and
1t Is feared that split may be caused among
them In the attempt to supersede Senator
Ferry who is an infationist, by a
hard money man; while if Mr.. Ferry
Is retained and the democrats should
elect on infationist Speaker the Senate would
not be in a condition to rebuke them. In
looking at the future of America and Judging
Of it by the past one cannot but be struck
say these journals, with the extent to
which questions, not in themselves political
and yet in their practical bearing very
of the country. The next great issue here is
likely to be one involving the principles of
religious liberty, as, for instance, the Sun
day question and the Bible in the schools.
1t is deemed probable that in large ma
jority of the evangelical pulpits on Thanks
giving Day the latter question was discussed.
M. Jouin, S. j., an officer or teacher in the
Catholic Protectory, having written in Latin
a book advocating the most ultramontane
ideas on the school question, is rather roughly
which wants to know who shall take care of
those who aspire to take care Of US, and de-
clares that the question is not one of the
Bible in the schools or no. but the straight
issue of school or no school. The Gray
Nuns legislation, the death of Vice President
Wilson and the expulsion of students from
Princeton also receive attention from our
Protestant contemporaries.
The Hebrew journals condemn the attempt
to rake up the Beecher scandal again, and
declare that no pen is able to compute the
amount of evil which the discussion has
brought up in our day and generation 1t
should be kept out Of conversation in re-
spectacle society Denominational topics
also receive editorial attention and COM
ment. Chief Justice Dalys sketch Of the
settlement of the Jews in North America
takes the place of editorial comment in the
Times and forms an interesting and readable
chapter.

The Challenge 20 the British Uni-

The unanimous resolve Of our student
oarsmen to adopt the suggestion in Mon

University men to join them in their rncing
next July, does credit at once to their pluck
and promptness. But they impose one con-
dition nearly sure to prove fatal-namely,
that the race be in six-oars, style of craft
unknown in England. It should be borne
steadily in mind that the visitors, not the chal-
lengers, make the terms, and the only one
we should think Of suggesting is that our
guests steer as Captain Gulston does. This
they will likely accede to out Of courtesy, in

boldly planned disunion and treason
and war. Fer seventy years we have suf-
fered from Tammany Hall. The monu-
mental scoundreI who is to-day fugitive
from the justice which he has bullied and
bought is only result of the Tammany
system. Whether he is captured or not ;
whether opnot we succeed in obtaining his
property; whether the men who are his
comfederates in crime are brought to
justice or not we still have
before us the duty of destroying the system
which produced Tweed by destroying Tam
many Hall. This event. therefore-pa painful
though it is-only makes palmer the duty
of the democratic party of this city. Tweed's
escape is the last argument in the contro-
versy. With the old leader Of Tammany Hall
fugitive from justice and the city suffer
ing from the system which he strengthened
and by which he profted, no citizen can
escape from the duty more and more incum-
bent upon us-the roofing out Of the Tam
many organization and driving from our pol
itics this dark lantern, Know Nothing secret
lodge, which has never triumphed but to
bring disgrace upon the community, and
whose continued existence only means re-
turn to the nefarious system which culmi-
mates to-day in the flight of Tweed.

views OF the Religious Press.

It is rarely that we find so many and differ

press as we find this week. The Catholic
papers hsye much T. say aRogt Gu9bord's
f1nnsral, which they Consider barren victory,
since his remains have been laid in unconse-
Grated earth. And the interference of an
English court of high or low degree was
simply an impertinence in the case; for to
bury an excommunicated person in Cath
olic graveyard is as gross an outrage and as
absurd triumph as to march him living to
the altar, while o file of soldiers with fixed
bayonets compel the bishop to give him
the sacrament. Instead, therefore, Of q
triumph Of the law being effected, an out
rage in the name Of the law has been COM
