COMMUNICATED.

TO the Editor Of the Registcr-Alr.
Editor-I was called upon not long
since to preach a sermon on BAPTISM,
and | refused to preach sermon on
Baptism for two reasons, viz: First, |
anticipated no good result, and secondly,
the war between different denominations
has been fought and the victors are they
who fought less.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the Gospel field is
large enough for ALL DENOMINATIONS,
and for each one III the VARIOUS demon
nations to work without striking our
hoes together. Some to be broiherly,
and friendly, say the name of the church
is nothing, but l think different. 1t is
necessary, but not essential. The name
is that by which the different churches
are distinguished one from another. We
are called Free Baptists," because we
believe it right that denominations
should commune one with the other,
l. G. to distinguish us from the Baptists
who do not believe the above. have
been trying TO preach for the last eleven
years, and during which time have
lost no time in trying to convince sin
ncrs that the Free Baptist Church was
suitable church for them, but have
taken the stand which trust all minis
tiers have taken, TO convince sinners that
they were not fit for any church while
in a state of unbelief

sitting Bulls Campaign.

Our old friend Sitting Bull seems re-
solved to make matters lively in the Yellow
stone region this spring. In another col
umn will be found an interesting letter
from our Bozeman correspondent giving the
latest details of the movements of the hostile
bands. The winter operations carried on
against them seem. to have had the result
of bringing the bands together for the pur-
pose of mutual protection They do not seem
to have suffered any loss of morale and are
certainly as much dreaded as ever by
their hereditary enemies, the Crows. 1t is
said that two thousand five hundred Sioux
warriors are assembled on the Big Horn
under Sitting Bull, Dull Knife and Crazy
Horse, three of their boldest and ablest
leaders, and the demonstration they have
already made against the Crow Agency shows
that they are not inclined to act on tho de-
fensive. Active preparations ore on foot for

A Timely Hint.

In his circular to charitable institutions
Comptroller Kelly calls attention to the fact
that the managers of certain private charities
ore neglecting the proper source of their in
come and depending almost wholly upon
the public purse. The same fact has been
the cause of much individual comment.
The object of any private charitable enter
prise is supposed to be the doing of some
particular benevolence which the city is un-
able or unwilling to attend to. The fact
that the movers Of the enterprise prove their
sincerity by their generosity is the only
reason why they receive any assistance at all
from the public treasury. When the private
pocket ceases to contribute there is reason
to suspect incompctency on the part of the
managers or lukewarmness among the
patrons, in either of which events the pub
lie authorities are justified in being sus-
picious. 1t would be we'll for the Board of
Apportionment to go still further and grade
the allowances from the public treasury
according to the receipts of the societies
from private sources, and withhold aid en-
tircly from all associations which do not
seem to be practically regarded with con-
fdence by the community.
This whole matter of organized private
charities needs to stand upon broader
footing than it does at present. Either
these associations are doing needed work
or they are not. Such Of them as compete
with the public charities have, in the abb
stract, excellent cause for existence. They
have not, in the way Of their usefulness, the
exSNperating obstacles which politics pro-
vides for public benevolences. Nothing
but lack Of money need prevent their
attaining the ideal standard of excellence.
All this being conceded it should be more
than good-natured, generous habit to con-
tribute to their support; it should be re-
parded as a humane, moral and Christian
duty. But before such n sense of duty can
be aroused in the minds Of the community
these societies must show themselves worthy
of that highest form of confidence which
alone prompts the giving of considerable
money That some of them have not done
this is, unfortunately, well known, and the
result is discouraging to the benevolent
mind and tends to keep down tho standard
of the public management of similar chari.

THE WEATHER.--A storm centre from the
West Indian region has approached the Sonth
Atlantic coast, touching it in the vicinity of Hat
tcras, and is now moving away over the Atlantic
toward the British Islands. 1t will reach Europe
probably on or before Monday next, and
will carry with it heavy rains and gales.
Another depresson-one already noted in
the HgRALp-has advanced over the lakes and
the Ohio Valley from the region of the Lower
Missouri. Brisk winds, but little precipitation,
attend this disturbance. Rains have fallen on
the South Atlantic coast, and also on the Nova
Scotia coast. Very high temperature prevails in
Tho Southwestern States and the Lower Missis-
sippi Valley and % moderately high temperature on
the Atlantic coast, but it is very cold III the
North and Northwest. tornado Is possible

weather in New York to-day will be warm and
cloudy, probably with rain. The Lower MissiS-
sippi and Upper Ohio have risen.

Tho Kaiser's Birthday.

A century ago Prussia was one Of the
smaller Kingdoms of Europe in extent, yet
one of the greatest in ambition. Her career
of conquest began when Frederick the Great
invaded Silesia and laid the foundations Of
the present German Empire. Since the days
of that great ruler no German sovereign
rivals in fame the ven cradle Emperor whose
birthday was honored yesterday. William l.
was born in 1897, and after an eventful
military and political career was crowned
King of Prussia in 1861. He used the op-
portunity to proclaim the divine right Of
kings, theory which the liberal policy Of
Prince Bismarck compelled him to modify.
His reign is full of important events and
has changed the map of Europe. In the
north he made successful war upon Den
mark, and turning to the south, in 1866,
crushed Austria with the needle gun
at Sadowa. Looking to the west
he wrested Alsatia and Lorraine from
France, and destroyed, at Sedan and
Metz, the third Empire of the Ma
poleons. He had before this formed the
North German Confederation, but this was
followed by the infinitely greater work of
uniting all Germany under single head.
The King Of what was only petty State
scarcely hundred years ago was crowned
Emperor of Germany january is, 1871, in
the ancestral halls Of the French kings at
Versailles. His policy since that great
conquest has been one Of civil construction
rather than military aggression. Religion has
become a principal issue in Europe, and
the Pope of Rome seems now to be the
most dreaded foe of Germany. The En-
peror William is now eighty years Of age
and can look back upon life of almost un-
interrupted victory. His great achievement
was the unifcation Of the German States
and the creation of central empire in
Europe. Yesterday his birthday was cele-
brated wherever the German language is
spoken, and in no city with more enthusi-
asm than in New York.

The Miners sorrows.

It has been the fashion, and with consid-
erable excuse, to lay upon the great coal
companies the blame for whatever trouble
existed In the mining regions, but very in
tcz-=sinS letter from our correspondent at
Pottsvilie shows that the responsibility for
the trouble is to be divided and that a con-
siderable share belongs to the miners them
selves The villanies Of the Molly Ma
guires have been too generally con-
the fact appears that the principal sufferers
are the honest Woodworking colliers who
have allowed these scoundrels to assume
authority over them and dictate action to
which much of the present suffering of the
miners families may be traced. Assuring by
threats and violence their own competence
and comparative ease the Molly Maguires
have, in the affairs of their brother work.
men, acted from mere caprice instead Of
being guided by that sense of prudence which
should control all action by trade societies,
and the results have been uncertain labor and
certain destitution. The moral may be found
without searching, and all workingmen's
unions will find it worth keeping in mind /;
it is that leaders who are filling their own
pockets are always to be suspected and to be
abandoned at any cost. Men in every call
ing have gone through the same experience
and with the same result. In politics and
religion rs we'll as in business it has always
been found unsafe to be led by men who
were finding leadership profitable The very
fact that workingmen often need to take
associated action to secure protection and
fair treatment should make them as careful
as men in any other business are to select
leaders who can command respect by their
character and ability. Mere brute courage
and daring always fail at the critical point,
and the principal sufferers are sure to be
the men who are behind the leaders, not
those in front of them.

question on which opinions will differ ac-
cording to the estimate which has been
formed of the character Of Brigham Young.
Lees statements are a great deal more ex-
plicit and specific as to Brigham Young's
guilty knowledge Immediately after the
fact, his approval Of the deed and efforts to
shield it. than in respect to his having insti-
gated it. AS to Brigham Young's part in
planning the crime Lees statements are so
vague as to amount to mere innuendo. II he
could have made definite charge the whole
animus of his confession proves that he
would have done so. Lees evidence on that
head must, therefore, be regarded as WORTH
less. But as to what followed the massacre his
statements are precise, and the fact that he
deals in mere innuendoas MS to the graver part
of the accusation would seem to indicate
that his story is not an invention where he
processes to- relate specific facts; for If he
meant to ruin Young by falsehoods there is
no reason why he should not accuse him as
strongly of completely before the fact as OF
completely after the fact Lee AYERS that he
went to Young ten days after the massacre
and told him the whole story in all its sick
ening details. Young said he would 'com-
municate with God" The next day he told
Lee that he "had gone to God in prayer.
Brother Lee, not q drop of innocent blood
has been shed. God has shown me that it
was o just act" Soon afterward Brigham
Young preached public sermon at Cedar
City in which he denounced tie emigrants
in the most ferocious and abusive language
and proclaimed damnation on all who should
inform on those who took part in the massa-
ere. If these facts are true Brigham Young
was at least an accomplice after the fact, by
his guilty knowledge Of the massacre, by his
wholesale justification of the perpetrators,
and by his resolute fury in protecting them
from exposure and punishment.

Indian Mn.sacre. in Arizona.

We publish in another column a remark
able appeal to the American people which
comes to us from the far-off frontier OF
Southern Arizona. The charges made in it
against General Kautz, commanding the
military department. are so serious that we
would not undertake to publish them did they
not seem to be supported by public docu-
rnents signed by the Governor of the Terri
tory. The state of affairs depicted in the Gov
ernor's message to the Territorial Legisla-
ture, and repeated in brief in the letter OF our
correspondent, calls for instant and energetic
action on the part of the government at
Washington. 1t deserves and will no doubt
receive the attention of Congress. con-
siderable band of Indians belonging
to the Apache tribe has been raid
ing into the Valley Of the Sonoita,
robbing and numbering the inhabitants,
without meeting with any resistance from
the troops which are posted in Southern
Arizona for the defence OF the settlers. 1t
is alleged that the Governor of the Terri
tory has called in vain OH General kautz
to send troops to punish the marauders
and protect the ravaged districts. For
some reason, which the public will want
explained. General Kautz not only
failed to afford the protection sought,
but undertook to reply to the Gov
ernor Of the Territory in an offensive man
ner. AS q result the people have been COM
PEELED to organize company of scouts to
do the work which General Kautz and his
subordinates are paid for doing. 1t is
charged that the General keeps close to his
headquarters in Prescott, some two hun
dred and fifty miles from the scene Of hos
tilities, pretcrring the distractions Of barrack
life to the danger of his duty against the
marauding Indians. If the charges are we'll
founded General Kautz must be untitled for
the command OF q frontier exposed to attack
from murderous Indians, and the Secretary
OF War should find some energetic officer to
relieve him. Arizona wants a General who
prefers the honorable discharge of his duty
to the enjoyments of garrison life. When
such man is placed in command there will
be an end to Indian massacres in Arizona.

Fair Incapables mt Washington.

The Third Assistant Postmaster General,
who has charge of the Dead Letter Office at
Washington, has found it necessary to pro-
test against the appointment of female
clerks in that department without subject
ing the appointees to civil service test.
"There seems to be prevailing impression
among some Senators and members of Con-
gress," he says to the Postmaster General,
"that intelligence is. not an essential
prerequisite for Qemale) clerkship
in the Dead Letter Office" and he
asks that the ladies who seek
such appointments shall undergo the same
examination as to qualifications as is applied
to males. An order to that effect has there
fore been issued, and rs it is to apply to
those already in the. office as well as to new
comers it will no doubt occasion a futter
among the fair employees. 1t is probable
that some of the Senators and Congressman
to whom the Assistant Postmaster General
alludes will have some Of their encum-
brances returned to them. The Washington
offices have been quite convenience of late
years TO those grave lawmakers and Cabinet
officers who have had fair friends to provide
for, and it Is about time that the civil SER
vice test should be applied to both sexes in
the public service 1t is alleged that some
