Is CHRISTIANITY Declintng.

The historian Froude publishes in the
international Review of New York city
a sensational article which issummar-
lied by the Herald as follows These
propositions are o. that the present state of
religious opinion throughout the world is
extremely critical; ~ that theologans no
longer speak with authority; 81 that those
who uphold orthodoxy can not agree on
what ground to defend it; (4) that material
ism all over Europe is respectfully listened
to when it affirms that the claims of revela-
ton can not be maintained; (5) that
the existence of God and of a
future state, the origin of man, the
nature of conscience and the distinc-
ton between good and evil are all open
questions (6) religious opinion is moving
with increasing speed along track which 1t
will never retrace and toward issues infinite
~ momentOus. Fortunately for the present
generation of Americans and Englishmen,
Mr.. Froude prophesies that they will, pass
away before the inward change will show
itself in marked external symptoms are
apparent.
Underlying these propositions of the Eng
lish historian, there is, says the Herald, a
great truth of current experience and OBJ
seryation. Religion or Christianity does not
occupy the strongholds in the human hearts
which it once did. The Bible is not held in
such high estimation as it once was The
doctrines winch IL UeacneS are. not as nrmly
believed as they were in other days,
and the ministry of the church fails to
cOmmlnd the reverence-may we say
respect-which it once had. There are rsa-
sons for this. The basis of church work has
changed considerably within the last CEN
fury. Ministers no longer go out after the
multitudes as Christ and his disciples did
They are content in their pleasant gatherings
to discuss the question, how to reach the
masses, but they are very willing to leave
the reaching of them to other agencies.
Church officials no longer make the salvation
OF the people among whom they build houses
of worship the goal of their endeavors. Re-
ligion is too dainty and high priced to-day
for the masses to have or enjoy 1T. 1t was
once the glory OF the church that the poor
had the gospel preached to them. but now it
is the rich who are thus cared for, and il our
churches develop the club idea during the
next twenty-five years in the ratio that
they have in the past quarter of a century
the poor will be obliged to go TO the noun
taip sides or the sea shores, where Jesus and
Paul found them in their day, to receive

wonder, then, that while the church is shut
in, as it were, in its club house, inEdelity
and scepticsm make such Roadway among
those who are on the outside Sumptuary
laws can not take the place OF hard, faithful
work for Christ, and until churches and

European Character.

[Baton Rouge Qa.) Herald.
The Rev. G. Levy has handed US the fol-
lowing, translated from the German:
In religion the German is skeptcal, the
Englishman devout, the Frenchman Jealous.
the Italian ceremonious, the Spaniard bigot.
In keeping his word the German is faith
full, the Englishman SAFE the Frenchman
giddy, the italian careless, the Spaniard a
deception.
In giving advice the German is slow, the
Englishman fearless, the Frenchman precip-
itate, the Italian nice, the Spaniard circum-
spect
In external appearance the German is
large, the Englishman well made, the French
man we'll looking, the Italian middle side.
the Spaniard awkward.
In dress the German is shabby, the Eng
lishman costly, the Frenchman tickle the
Italian ragged, the Spaniard decent
In manners the Germans are clownish, the
Englishman barbarous. the Frenchman easy
the italian polite, the Spaniard proud.
In keeping a secret the German forgets
what he has been told; the Englishman con-
ceals what he should divulge, and divulges
what he should conceal; the Frenchman
tells everything; the Italian is close; the
Spaniard mysterious.
In vanity the German boasts little; the
Englishman despises all other nations; the
Frenchman fiatters everybody; the Italian
estimates cautiously; the Spaniard is indif-
ferent.
In offending and doing good the German
is inactive; the Engllshman does both with.
out considerations the Frenchman is ex-
IRENE; the Italian is prompt in benefcence,
but vindictlve; the Spaniard Indifferent
In speaking the German and Frenchman
speak badly, but write we'll; the English
man speaks and writes we'll; the Italian
speaks well, writes much and WE'LL the
Spaniard speaks little, writes little, but well.
Servants are companions in Germany,
obedient in England, masters in France, re-
spectful in Italy submissive in Spain.
The women are housewives IN Germany,
queens in England, LADIES in France, cap
tives In Italy, slaves in Spain.
In courage the German resembles bear,
the Englishman lion, the Frenchman an
eagle, the Italian fox, and the Spaniard an
elephant.
In the sciences the German is a pedant,
the Engllshman philosopher, the French
man smatterer, the Italian professor, and
the Spanlard grave thinker.
In Germany the princes, N England the
ships, in france the court in Italy the
churches, Spain the armories are magni-
ficent.

4 HITHERTO unpublis he'd letter of Thomas
Jefferson has just come TO light, having been
written 10 friend who invited him, while
secretary of state, To engage in financial en-
terprise. In his reply Jefferson said:

life NOW Jwenty-fOur years ago. / came to a
resolution never TO engage. while in public
office, in any kind 0f enterprise for the i'm
prOvement of my fortune, nor to wear any

It's not often we see in the Journal any

it appreciates the pure principles of the
creed. II the Journal had only sent Grant
a copy of Jefferson's letter, and felt sorry
that il didn't suspect that a democrat could
be so pure, we could sympathizs with it in

great demand and probably boarded by
those governments who may fear that in the
vortex OF war they win be drawn Specula-
ton and Legitimate demand will advance the
price to far beyond its legitimate value, and
at high prices il may be prudent to drop the
load one may be carrying.
In provisions, Europe has taken our sur
plus heretofore, and the exports so far this
season are about three-quarters of million
hogs over last year, but our crop was so
large that our home consumption would
have to be increased in nearly the same
ratio 10 use up our immense crop. Our
principal consumer is the southland a
European war would affect cotton-her
main industry, to such an extent that her
purchasing capacity would be proportion
ately diminished. This deficiency would
have TO be made up by increased European
demand and an opinion on this point, is, as
yet, mere conjecture. Excitement at first
would probably increase the price, but, in
the end, the chances for material injury to
that interest are about equally divided with
those for Its benefit.
If injurious, the overproduction of hogs
would soon conform itself to the require
ments of profit and loss; and short hog
crop would make farmers and packers rejoice
on the credit side of their labors. We have
thus endeavored to lay before our numerous
readers interested In these crops an outline
of the view the commercial world takes of
them, with the hope it may induce reflection
and insure to their benefit
The Almighty last season bles ed US with
abundant crops and health; and He has
given us indications so far this year that as a
people we are in His keeping and among His
favorite children. Although such abundant
crops blessed us, the fruits of the earth, be-
cause of the vile and infamous radical finan-
cial legislation, yielded but comparatively a
pittance to the farmer. Should the Almighty
rule that European war prevail this year,
He provides an outlet for the abundant crops
that are now put promises, and thus protects
his people against the infamous piratical and
contracting policy of the republican party.
If war comes and the people get large returns
for their labor, the republican party will
claim it as arising from their financial WIS
dom. But we say that if these things happen
they will happen because God wills it in
spite of the folly of the republican pan ~,
and to Him should the people be taught
to award the praise. When they
begin 90 turn from the follies, the charlatan-
ism and the crimes of evil rulers, and select
men who will "adorn their high places
whose mouths shall show forth wisdom, -
and whose hearts shall eschew dissensions
and hatred in this country, the blessings of
a pleased Providence will crown them and
their labors.

the bankrupt LEGISLATION.
[Philadalphia Times

A judicious bankrupt law has been ne
cessity several times in the history of our
government, but 1T has never failed to be
stricken from our statutes laden with popu-
lar reproaches. The present bankrupt
law was passed in the interests of shattered
spectators rather than to serve the cause OF
men crippled in legitimate business, and its
amendments have been shaped to serve indi-
Nidual ends The result is that an estate in
the bankrupt court Is, as q rule, the wiping
out of the-clalms of creditors, and proceed
ings in bankruptcy have become farcical in
all things save athe discharge of the bank

Plain Talk.

A large majority of the young men that
are growing up are no account They are
relying upon fathers to take of them.
They would starye if tossed out in the world
and compelled to take care OF themselves.
They are lacking in selfreliance, in pluck,
in perseverance, in the willingness to labor
at anything to make an honest living. The
trouble is, they feel above laboring for a
livelihood-and just as long as they have
such notions there is no hope for them.
Any trade or calling is better than idleness.
for idleness produces worthlessness. Ii is
better to be shoemaker, a blacksmith, a
carpenter, a laborer on the farm. than it is
TO be loater. Some of our worthiest and
best and greatest men have risen to their
distinguished positions from these humble
callings. Everybody respects tho man that
is not afraid to work. People will trust
him and honor him and do all they can to
help him. 1t may be starting on the lower
round of the ladder. but a higher and still
higher round can be reached by those pos
sessing energy, pluck and industry.

THE BENEFIT OF a EuRopEAx WAR

The lion and sthe bear continue to train
for battle. The one shakes his name and
roars, and the other shows beneath the vel
vet touch of his paw the claws so valuable
in war Both sides profess earnest desires
for peace, and both sides are straining
every nerve for an early ready for war
We are in a position where ii is difficult to
predict with any certainty whether, as a
country. we will derive benefit or evil from
it. All these industries engaged in the
manufacture OF war material will flourish
1t may give an impetus to our marine inter
ests. In the west our large crops of grain
will find ready markets at remunerative
prices Speculation will probably run
wheat to price that supply and demand
will not sustain. In the event of war Rus
STA, who Is our main rival IN exporting
wheat. viii not of course permit any to leave
her borders. The neighboring power, Aus
tria, that comes next to Russia in Europe as
a wheat exporter may prohibit any leaving
her borders Germany and Austria will
probably have to maintain large standing
armies, fully equipped and ready for the
field az a moments notice. This can not be
done save at the expense of the growing
crops for from the husbandry of these coun-
tries comes their soldiers These causes will
compel England to draw nearly all her
wheat from US: and instead OF furnishing
her forty to fifty millions bushels we may
be called upon for double that amount
If, in the first wild rush and fever
OF excitement, our people run the
prices TO an exorbitant figure, de
mand will be checked that soon, and
reaction will force it below the level of
legitimate value. We therefore say to our
friends, if the wheat prospect continues as
promising as now, sell your estimated grow
ing crop when the price seems high. There
is estimated TO be but. twenty per cent. of
the old crop on hand. This shows what a
consumption reasonable prices to the con-.
sumner induce; for last years crop was esti-
