An editor OF a New York paper having devoted
his attention to the improvement of sermons.
religious paper is led to apply the suggestions
made to the improvement of editorials The
idea of the editor was that religious services
should be held with regularity, but that there
should be no sermon unless the pastor really
had one to preach, and that the people should
In no case be burdened with the duty of listen
ing to homily composed in WEAKNESS and
preached perfunctOrily. The religious paper
commends the suggestion, but thinks that the
principle involved is OF wider application and
adds; . We have seen editors, for instance. who
were In need OF rest, who burden their readers
with the duty OF reading leaders composed in
WEAKNESS and written perfunctorily." 1t is
doubtless true that the clergy are in no more
danger OF dulling the force and effect of their
dScourSes through the practice pointed out
than the journalistic profession. Sermons and
editorials may both be improved in the way
suggested.

The New York court OF appeals has made a
decision which throws the question OF prece-
dence between pedestrians and teams on street
crossings again in doubt. It has been gener-
ally believed that pedestrians have the right of
way. But the New York court has reversed
the decision OF lower court which gave dam
ages to lame Old woman run over by horse
car on street crossing. There may. however
have been circumstances which entitled this
case 10 a different decision from that which
justice and the drift OF judicial opinion wonld
otherwise have required

The Rhode Island Chapter OF the Institute of

posed TO hold architects as well as contractors

safety OF buildings erected under their super
vision. Faulty work Is made a penal offence
punishable by fine and Imprisonment. II archi-
tects We're also forbidden TO furnish designs,

good effect In decreasing disasters that arc

architects and builders are held responsible for
a building for ten years after its completion

According to Gen. Boynton. while the repub

According to Gen. BOyntOn, while the repub-
hcanS here are rejoicing over the strength of
their position, the democratic managers are
still full of confidence. They feel that they
have the machinery Of the Presidential election
wholly within their control. The figuring in
republican papers to show that the democrats
cannot control the organization of the House.
and that the vote of the states by delegations
will be against them by one majority is falla-
cOus, he says. When the clerk has finished
his next roll, the working majority OF his party
on il Will be ample for all party purposes. The
Iowa question, control in Florida, refusal to
seat based upon the acts done by United States
supervisors. or any other technical question
which may be sprung TO serve a party neces-
Sity, viii easily give the democracy the full
Congressional machinery OF the Presidential
election. In this programme they had in view
third party movement for 1SS0 which should
throw the election into the House of RepreSen-
tativeS. which they were preparing with special
reference to dealing with the contingency OF no
election By the people There are clear indi-
cations that they do not deem the Butler move
ment defeat While Buffers political success
in Massachusetts is hencefOrth Impossible the
plan OF using him as a third party candidate
has by no means been abandoned. The
national democracy Will never accept him
as one of its leaders, but as an ally working
along an Independent line for the overthrow of
republicanism he will be tolerated, applauded,
and quietly supported. Therefore, the republi-
cans are admonished in their hour of victOryst
consider first, and constantly and as above all
personal considerations, the wisdom and The
absolute necessity Of maintaining intact the
reeonsOlidated elements of the party 'Mr.
Boynton is pretty clear headed observer of
political movements. but if the event of Buffers
candldlcy for President should result as did his
gubernatorial candidacy in Massachusetts,. the
republicans will have no great reason to dread
his taking the field in 1850. In the opinion of
leading democrats there. they would have car
ried the state had Butler not been in the field,
but so many democrats voted for the republi-
can candidate to ensure Buffers defeat that
their party suffered the most decentralization
from his candidacy. 1t may be that his national
candidacy would prove as damaging to the ma
tlonal democracy as did his candidacy in Nassa-
ehusetts TO the democracy OF that state.

TIE real attitude of the Demo-
cratic party on the greenbaek issue
lies not in the adoption of extreme
theories; but rather, in an agitation
for the retirement OF the National
bank currency and its replacement
by greenbacks. Were the place OF
the National bank notes filled by
the National currency we should
save the interest on the bonds
which are deposited in the treasury
as security for the former. This
saving would amount to in the
neighborhood of Fifteen millions of
dollars year. The policy could
also be announced OF moderate is
sues of greenbacks if the business
needs of the country should seem
to call for them. The mere an
nouncement of such policy would
cause money to circulate more
freely. Probably the most power
full of all The causes of the money
stringency which has annoyed and
even distressed our people for the
past five years has been the fact
that our currency, in the hands ol
the hoarders, has steadily appreci-
ated In value. This interesting
member Of society, by merely
clinglng to his greenbacks, an6
doing nothing, has made money
Through their enhancement. If ht
Is once made to realize that they
are liable TO depreciate on hi:
hands he will be willing to pas:
them around. But Of course sucl
a system would have to be sur
rounded by many safeguards ant
administered with iare moderation
aud wisdom. A mere deluge o
yreenbacks would result in mo
mentary saturnalia, to be followed
as the night the day, by fas
thronging disaster.

century, wheu he was on the point

caused the coin to be placed in
sacks and carried to a place near
Port-au-Prince, In three wagons,
guarded by ten soldiers. He or
dered ten men to dig the hole for
their reception, and, after cover
ing them, to return Immediately

the work had been accom- plished
the party returned, but were fired

Toussaint himself. All were killed,
