that unless something is doue by the Legis!a-
ture, and that speedily, fish will be as scarce
in the Potomac and Rappahannock, and even
IN the Chesapeake, as they are in the interior
streams The letter says that both the Kappa
hammock and Potomac are crowded with traps,
which are put down in the spring. aud kept
fixed until October, in which fish are taken
by wholesale. The writer iuvokes Legislative

tries to pass of the yillainy rs good joke.
Butthe published long lists Of names OF per-
sons who voted in certain precincts that do
not live in them. and cannot be found, has
already caused several of the defeated can

Last night the greatest crowd ever assem-
bled in Chicago to listen to political speech
gathered at the Exposition building to hear
Col RoREnr G. INoERso11. At IN early
hour the main door and galleries of that im-
mense structure were packed to their utmost
capacity, while the approaches to the build
ing were thronged, and thousands turned
away unable to gain adnittance. The
vast audience that greeted Col. 1NGERso1n
was not OF the sort that ordinarily
turns out at political demonstrations. It was
made up Of the more thoughtful voters Of
the substantial business class, men not liable
to be carried off their feet BY fervid rhetoric,
and who we're attracted By the splendid rep
utation Of the orator rather than with view
to making what is called grand denaonstra-
ton. His speech is reported in full in TIE
TRIBUNE this morning. But no report could
do full justice to his glowing e1oquence,-the
more eloquent because it was the e1oquence
of living truth, reinforced by irrefragable
logic of facts, and delivered with that rare
power which no other orator of this day
possesses. The mighty throng as they listen
ed forgot the orator in contemplation Of the
real issues Of the canvass-those that cannot
be written down nor talked down-which
were by him so vividly presented
The overwhelming enthusiasm with
which the thousands there assembled
responded to his appeal to them ut this
supreme moment to hazard no jot or title of
the work Of regeneration, final and complete,
Of the Union restored, demonstrates that the
Republican party here, instead Of being dead
or q party Of the past, was never inspired by
more active purpose The meeting may be
Justly characterized as great awakening to

know no distinction Of religion in th.
schools. It is to have no Romish schools
and as little Gun it have any Protestant
schools. Hence, when Dr.. WALLER, in his
argument for using the Bible in the publia
schools, says: ssThe Bible always has been
the badge !of Professionalism" he speaks
truly, but offers the very reason why it
should not be compulsorily introduced into
public schools, which should not wear sst tho
badge of Professionalism" or Of any religious
sect or party.
Nor is Dr.. VS. position any more accord
ant with Christianity than with the policy Of
the American State. He truly says: .*To
believe the Christian Scriptures, and. not
favor all proper ways to disseminate howl-
edge of Christ and His precepts, as authority
in matters Of duty, Is contrary both to tho
principle and the practice of the Christian
religion" But why does Dr.. " say
"proper ways" when his argument required
him to say "al1 weys"2 We contend that
no way is s*proper" way to disseminate
Christianity which does violence to the equal
rights of those who reject it. Not even

amount OF property, and the trade, this ex-
penditure of money, with these results, IS
even worse than that in New York. Here
are 100000 population, with public debt
equal to $3.50 per head, struggling hopelessly
for existence, and each year becoming more
and more involved. Some of these loans
have been negotiated at heavy discount
and oil further ones must necessarily De.
The policy of reducing expenditure is re-
jected, and, SO long as the Government can
make new loans at any rate to raise money
to Day the interest, the revenues OF the coun-
try and all other funds will be expended
otherwise. Here is mere handful of people
upon an island in the Pacific, with no natu-
ral facilities beyond the mere support OF the
inhabitants, already burdened with debt
greater than was owed by the United States
from 1871 to 1862, with the exception Of
the three years. 1s16-1s1s, following the war
with Great Britain. OF course such debt,
under such circumstances, must 60 on in
creasing so long as people in England Will
continue to invest in bonds, however desper-
ate. The money-lenders Of Great britain
have been very venturous, have taken large
risks at large discounts, but have recently
suffered heavily in their dealings with Iur-
key, Egypt, and various South American
States.
This history Of New Zealand and the enor-
nous and rapid growth of her debt is but
the history On larger scale of many OF the
cities, counties, and even rural towns, IN oil
parts Of this country. The fatal facility Of
borrowing money, of creating debts, of sell
ing bonds, and mortgaging other peoples
property, has involved municipalities all over
the country, which will remain weight
upon them for severnl generations The title
in fee simple to al New Zealand would hard
ly bring, at public sale, the amount of her
debt, and there are municipalities in this and
other States whose whole value will eventu-
ally be consumed by taxation to pay interest
and principal Of their debts, represented by
bonds sold, and the proceeds expended, and
nothing left as the result.

most identical The extent Of these TWO
great systems is shown by the fact that their
vorshipers include four-ffths OF the human
race. The essential difference between
Buddhism and Confucianism is, that, while
the latter deals with the present, the former
treats almost exclusively of future world
and preparation for it. Confucianism gives
to the Chinese no religion, and Buddhism
came in to supply the religious want. The
one is moral, the other metaphysical. In our
next Sunday issue we shall examine Taulsm'
the materialistic system.
