Encereoila Humhug.

For once we are glad to endorse
the New York Herald. In an arti-
Gle headed "Ingerson's Doctrine
il remarks:
We have not given special study
to Bob's doctrine, but 1t differs
from the doctrine of the refined
and cultivated sceptlcs of New
York in several essentials, partleu-
iarIyin the mode of its propaga-
lion. The Peoria school OF atheism
was founded by Tom Paine, and
consists in violent objections to all
gods, but particularly to the God of
the Hebrew Scripture, and also ex
hibits a marked aversion to all
" priests, including Methodist min
listers and even .. Il. rockingham.
This mode of atheism is obsolete
in highly civilized communities.
The refined and cultivated sceptics
of this metropolis hold that shock
ing the feelings of other people, in
Guiding religious people, is in itself
an offense unless the peraon who
commits il sees some valuable OBJ
ject to be gained by il which can
not be gained without it. The Pc
oria school holds that the shocking
of Christians is itself good thing,
and that the man who believes in a
God has no feeling which the man
who does not believe in God is
bound to respect. Bob holds with
the sect in this article of disbelief.
He is also personally distinguished
by extreme personal luminosity to
the God who, he maintains, does
not exist.
Our general abroad and uppreiu-
diced opinion of Bob may be in
ferred from the previous answers.
Our reporters who have heard Bob
assure us that Bob is smart. Bob
is q very popular and effective
stump speaker. The principal
trouble with Bob seem TO be that
he is vulgar and shallow. He is too
fond of applying scurrilous cpl
thets to those who differ with him,
and of stating that they are infested
with vermin, TO make his discourse
agreeable to fastidious people. He
uses the same method IN his contro-
Versy with his Maker. Bob's book
on "The Gods" gives the reader
the impression that God is the Dem
Ocratic candidate for local office
in Peoria, and that Bob Is conduc-
ting the campaign in the Republi-
can paper. This illustr alton may
sound unseemly, but we assure our
correspondent that it conveys bet
ter idea than any other we can think
of as to the character of Bob's book.
We wouldn't go so far as to say that
Bob was ga great scoundrel, but
we think he is humbug, and, as
our correspondent says, mostly ia
nous for his impudeuce.

Gen. Butler's Opinion of the Effect
of the European War on
Our Finances

The Philadelphia Inquirer intro
duces and summarizes a portion of
the recent interview with Gen. But
Ter on the subject of the resump-
ton of gold payments in 1879, in
the following telling way:
IF Mr.. Benjamin F. Butler is
not particularly overloaded with
the article called conscience there
are few men in the country who
carry 8 heavier load of shreWd,
hard common sense than he does.
Having been interviewed on Satur-
day by a New York contemporary,
he spoke very frankly on the sub
ject of specie payments, or resump-
ton In 1879, and he also gave some
facts concerning specie payments
that is, payments in silver, which
article is drug in the market and
at discount over the counter OF
banks-that will be interesting to
readers generally.
"This European war, said Gen.
Butler, means something. Now, /

this country from that entertained
by some of the press. l don't be-
lieve it will help US much. True. ii

increased price for labor, and when
that comes again our manufacture
ers cannot compete with those Of
other lands. That will be one eff

The CnIsoIm HH0rders

Oar readers will remember the
murder of Judge Chisholm and two
members of his family, beautiful
and accomplished daughter and q
crippled son, few weeks ago in
Mississippi. The Judge was in jail
on trumped up charges of some
kind, and his family, believing he
was to be murdered, left their COM
Portable home and went to prison
with him to protect him. A mob
gathered and after several attempts
murdered him and three others in
cold blood. 1t was the most flemish
and inexcusable crime ever commit
ted in the south. And now Presi-
dent Hayes is receiving q great
many friendly letters from persons
in various parts of the country beg
ging that he will make an effort in
some way to secure the punishment
of the murderers of Judge Chisholm
and his family. These letters near
Iy all assert that this massacre stand
ing unavenged will be lasting re-
buke to his southern policy, and
that even if he is powerless to d.
rectly act in the matter of bringing
the mLrderers TO justice, he should
use his influence with Gordon, La
mar, aud other southerners who
have been his advisers, and who are
in way responsible for the crime.
The President can do nothing ex-
cept in the way of exerting a moral
influence toward Furnishing the ban
ditti. There is now an excellent
chance for the southerners to show
whether they really mean concilia-
ton or not. Unless they assist to
bring these criminals to justice the
country will have little confidence
in their professions of a desire Tor
peace and coed feeling, and their
failure to do their duty In this case
will go far toward bringing dis
credit on Hayes southern policy.

Grain Trade with Liverpool.

ST. LOUIS, May ga project is
on foot hero to open a direct grain
trade with Liverpool. The plan is
for the railroads centering here, the
elev ator companies, the Mississippi
Valley Barge company and ocean
steamers to pool the risks by q com
binatien, and send cargoes of grain,
especially corn, from New Orleans
through the ietties TO Liverpool and
other European points. This plan
will divide the risks of shipments
among the parties most interested
in building up the trade. 1t meets
with their hearty appreciation, and
the prospects are that it will soon
be carried into effect. An ocean
steamship company has already
named several large grain carrying
steamers which can be put on berth
90 fast az cargoes are ready. for them,
and It looks az though it will not
be long before the st. Louis, New
Orleans and Liverpool line will be
In full operation.

The New York Sun, in referring
to the new law of Illinois making
silver coins of the United States
legal tender for all debts payable in
that State not contracted to be paid
in gold, calls attention to the fact
that as long as the United States
mint does not coin more silver than
Is demanded for small change, it's
commercial value will be almost, OF
not quite, equal to gold or paper,
aud that consequently Illinois debt
ors can pay their debts just as east
ly now as they could before the
said law was passed.
