mellow affection, which is, no doubt, the
sweet and happy contamination our CORE
spondent has in view. 1t is sort Of prof
anation to mix up the question of expense
with so ETHEREAL an entertainment, but it is
nevertheless necessary in these degenerate
and unsentimental times. The expense
would be trifing, far less than in the case OF
an urchin exhibition. The ladies and gentle
men our correspondent seeks to bring to-
gether are all of an age that they can take
care of themselves or Of one another, which
is the very object that is sought to be accom-
plished BY all means let us have these

Raising the Dead.

The story of Amelia Greth. as given in
our kilograms from Mauch Chunk, is worthy
attention. These gross explorations of the
superstition of an ignorant populace are
not SO common in any country as they were
once in all countries, and are less common
in this country than they are at the present
time in some others, because the compare
tive secrecy that is necessary for the i'm
postures upon which they depend to
obtain even an apparent success is
we'll nigh impossible. In France in
Belgium and in Germany exhibitions
of this sort have recently played q
conspicuous part in the propagation Of
the faith. If priesthood were wise it
would not believe that any faith could be
safely propagated in that way in even the
less enlightened parts Of this country.
Perhaps those who have in charge the inter-
ests Of the Catholic Church in the United
States will only need to hear the story Of
Father Heinan's antics to stop them. In
any event it is not IN instructive spectacle
to see that Church entering the field against
people who exhibit petrified men from
Colorado and other cunningly devised won
ders and mysteries of that nature.

The suggestion of correspondent, else
where printed that the season Of shows be
closed with an exhibition of old bachelors
and old maids is not bad idea. If babies
are proper and interesting subjects for ex-
hibition old maids and old bachelors are
certainly far more SO. Babies as rule are
interesting only to those who have the good
fortune to own them and who are entitled
to call them pet names but elderly maidens
and gentlemen, whose heads the irosts OF time
have begun to silver, possess the keenest in
terest for one another and for the world
generally, especially when to their other
attractions Is added the substantial charm
of a good bank account, dozen corner
lots or n few score acres of rapidly improving
suburban property. 1t need not be
dumb show by any means. No one would
expect that. And it need not be blind show.

tons they alone must feel, and who can tell
that it may not all end, not in show of unfclt
sorrow and unachinR scars. but Of ripe and

The Metropolis "Accident."

BY degrees, as we anticipated, the truth
is coming out about this terrible disaster,
and as the information accumulates the i'm
preston will deepen on the public mind
that one hundred precious lives have been
sacrificed to cruel and fatal economy
on the part of those who char
tered the ship; to the neglect of
proper warnings of the storms coming,
and to the gross ineficiency of the life
saying (?) crews on the Currituck beach.
We publish elsewhere this morning state
ments made by some Of the surviving crew
and passengers, which clearly point to the
unseaworthiness of the ship. We learn
from one of her officers that she left port
with prospect Of fine weather, but that
the storm struck her before she was
ten hours at sea. We are also told by many
witnesses Of the utter stupidity and inef-
fciency of the life saving crews, who seemed
to be entirely unequal to the emergency.
The station was not supplied with the
proper means of throwing a line to the
wreck, and it is clear the crew
were too cowardly to man the
surf boat, which one Of the officers of the
Metropolis claims could have been used
with effect to rescue the drowning men
from the wreck. On every hand we see
nothing but the evidences of a monstrous
crime against humanity.

sitting Bull.

1t will be observed by our despatch from
Bismarck that General Miles is distinctly of
opinion that Sitting Bull has crossed the
line and is at large with his band on Ameri-
can soil. The Generals opinion is more
trustworthy, in our opinion, than the mega
tive one on the same point given by the
Canadian authorities But few days may
determine more distinctly the doubtful
point, as the General, as soon as prop
erly instructed, will move to ascertain
the whereabouts of the savage and fight him
if found. Sitting Bull rs an Indian off his
reservation is, OF course, an outlaw and an
enemy If found on our side the line. How
ever doubtful his status on the Canadian
side it is clear enough on this side. That
he is IN enemy Of some consequence we
have certainly reason enough to know.
But we have faith that if lac comes within

The object of our public school system is
to provide for the young such an education
as will fit them for any sphere of life in
which fortune places them when they be-
come men and women. In assuming this
responsibility the State has in view the
general welfare Of her citizens, without dis
tinction of condition, creed or party.
Taxes are levied to supply the means Of
carrying out this benefcent scheme Of pub
lie education, and it's character and objects
should raise it above the plane of corrupt
influences. But, unfortunately, the public
school system has been dragged down to
the level on which its operation has
not been wholly free from abuses.
1t is to be feared that the selec-
ton and remuneration of teachers are
largely governed by the favoritism Of politi-
clans and that the money needed for purely
educational purposes is too frequently dis
tributed without due regard to the object
for which it is appropriated. As will be
seen by the article on teachers salaries
which we print this morning there is much
ground for complaint and room for reform
in the administration of the public schools.
1t is claimed that while the working teach
ers in many cases do not receive u proper
remuneration for their services large
amounts are wasted on an unnecessary sys-
tenn of school supervision by principals and
vice principals. The HERALD has taken
the ground that while economy in
the public schools is very desirable it
should not be attained by cutting
down the working teachers salaries Neither
should an unfair distinction be made be-
tween the several teachers Of the same
grade, especially when some have more diff
cult duties to perform than others, by rea-
son of the greater number of pupils under
their charge. Economy must be reached by
having fair salaries to the workers and cut
ting off all the sinecurists and superhuous
principals and vice principals. If the state
ments we print to-day cannot be contra
dicted this reform should be commenced
at once. From the hives of education
where the honey of knowledge is stored
in the minds of the young every drone
should be expelled.

We have not noticed for many long day,
if ever, such hard study. of the Bible for
particular words as at the present time.
The eternals and everlastings of the old
book stand in the way of a good many
modern theories, and now, while so many
scholars are engaged in revision, those
words ought to be chased to their Chaldaic
or Hellenistic roots and set at rest forever
The current discussion on the doctrines
founded on those words is simply another
exhibition Of what DR.. Osgood calls 'the
restlessness of American society,"" Satisfac-
tory results can never be reached, and at
the end, if the discussion should 60 on for
three years instead Of three months, the
orthodox and the liberals would stand just
where they do to-day-at opposite ends Of
the theological pole. Mr.. Pullman will
continue his study of the words indicated
above and will give the history of great
hope, while DR.. Crook will bring out the
great doctrine of the Divine impartiality
even in the great day of Divine wrath. The
fact of redemption satisfies Mr. Colcord OF
the future, and the restraints which God
throws around men prove to DR.. King that
retribution is sure. If hell be not eternal
why should heaven be +? If hell be not
fact what reason have we to hope or believe
that heaven is? Both rest on the same
basis-the revelation Of God. Hence, DR..
Rogers will set up the inquiry to-day, els
there a heaven?" Mr.. Muir will take a
different form of the discussion and
ask els there future world?" Mr..
Hepworth will take it up under an
other aspect and inquire, els Chris
tianity itself true?" and Mr.. Lloyd will
press home the question, 'What is salvation
and how must it be obtained?" Now, if sal
walton be fact at all it must be salvation
from something. 1t is said to be from sin.
But salvation from sin must save from
the consequences of sin also. What are
those consequences? This is the point of
the discussion now going on throughout the
land. 1t will be a sad bargain, as Mr. Hull
and any other sensible man must see it, for
a man to gain the whole world and lose his
own soul, especially when an ever-present
Christ is near, ready to impart Gods gift
eternal life, as Mr.. Davis will show it to be.
Colonel Ingersoll, who has already
berated Christianity here and elsewhere,
and who this evening will talk on
the same tack, will be answered by
Mr. Hatfield with special reference 20 his
great leader, Thomas Paine.

An armistice is agreed upon and the Rus
sian armies will be halted where they are,
except as to the distributions Of force made
tant OF which are the occupation by the
Russians Of Silistria, on the Danube, and
Erzeroum, in Armenia. 1t is just sixteen
days since the Turkish plenipotentiaries
were received Mt Hermanli and by order of the
Grand Duke Nicholas escorted to Kezanlik
What difficulty in reaching an agreement,
if any, has caused so considerable delay is
not yet known but whatever the cause of
the delay may have been-whether it was
Ottoman obstinacy or bit of Machiavellian
diplomacy on the other side--it has greatly
profited the Russians in notable extensions
of the country actually held by their troops.
No treaty of peace can ignore the substan-
tial results of the war, and the country
held is a practical measure of these.
If the Russians have improved the hesita-
ton of their enemy to better their position
they have simply done what every other PEG.
pie would have done in their circumstances,
and the Moslems have only to blame that
British diplomacy which seems to have en-
couraged them for moment to doubt the
necessity of bending to Kussia's terms,
but gave them no substantial support
in their resistance. There appears to
be no doubt anywhere that the Eastern
question will be settled by conference of
the Powers on the basis of Russias victory
The conference will apparently not be held
at Vienna, but may be held at Belgrade or
Bucharest. Russia has declared her readi-
ness to submit to the judgment of Europe
all those points in the settlement which are
of European rather than national interest.
This leaves some room for discussion as
to what points are of European in
terest, and there are other preliminary
points not more definite than this. These
points are to be determined before confer
ence can fairly enter on its proper labor, and
that labor will not be short one Mean
time Russia holds great part of the Turk
ish Empire, and perhaps before the confer
ence is ended there may be other issues
before Europe more Immediately important
than the ownership Of Constantinople

striking distance of Miles his prestige viii
be damaged


Many pulpits and some newspapers have
lately handled as a topic OF daily interest to
the people that unpleasant possibility of an
eternal existence commonly known as hell.
They have not added any substantial facts
in the Dature of later particulars to what
was known before in common repute; but
they have performed a good service in ex-
hibiting the state of opinion and faith on
this important feature in all religious sys-
TENS. ''And they that have done good
shall go into life everlasting, and they that
have done evil into everlasting fire." So says
the Athanasian creed, and so have said
substantially all creeds ever formulated by
people who believe in another life; and
theological structure that did not promise
heaven to the good, and to the other sort
threaten hell or its equivalent, would be
less than half made up. 1t would be like
the Court of Oyer and Terminer without
any hangman's moose in the perspective; or
like system Of criminal law without any
of the paraphernalIa of pains and penalties.
But various ages have had very different
conceptions of what was proper in the ma
ture of pains and penalties to be inflicted in
this life for violations Of human law. and
they have differed ut least equally in their
conceptions of the future fate of the viola
tors OF divine law. It is the instructive part
of the recent utterarces on this subject that
they show the opinion and faith Of this
generation to be very unlike those Of the past
and the Immediately previous generations.
People are not at all disposed to believe in
the devil of the daddies. nor in the estab-
lishment Of which he was the recognized
head. Within very few years the robust
faith of the public in hell fire aggravated
subject was exceedingly rare; yet now it
seems as hard to find man who will dis
tinctly declare his faith in all that as it was
formerly to find one who would openly de-
clare his doubts. People even who are
ready to accept the general conception will
material feature. Here, rs everywhere,
they insist upon modern improve
ments." This is of value as indi-
eating the change in opinion and ex-
hibits the danger of dogmas in religion.
As written constitutions which are express
sions of the political agreements and needs
of one age must inevitably be amended
under the influence of political changes
in another age or perish altogether,
so an ecclesiastical machinery must
pass out of the regions Of popular
faith if its existence depends upon def
nitions or dogmas that are stationary in
the presence of an increasing popular intel
ligence. All this is Of course only in the
region of what people believe about hell.
and does not touch what may be the fact
People cannot believe in hell as the theolo-
gians have defined it, but that does not prove
it's non-existence, for the theologians may
have described it inaccurately.
