TIE EUROPEAN CONGRESS

According to the dispatches, England
triumpled in the Congress Oh Saturday
last, the powers agreeing substantially
to tho English plan of settlement.
Beaconstield made the ablest address of
his life and informed bismarck, with
extraordinary energy. that, on the Ques-
ton of fortify ng tho Balkan passes,
and garrisoning them with Turks, Eng
land would not hesitate moment, and
that he would quit Berlin Oh Monday
if her demands were not satisfied"
Dispatches from st. Petersburg say
there is much excitement there over
the arrar cement allowing Turkey to
occupy the Balkan passes.
It is very clear that England is ready
for war and will not yield al iota OH
any point which can in the least endan-
ger her trade with the east or her ORR
entail possessions. She is bound to
have the Balkans fortified and made an
impossible barrier to Russian aggres-
sion, and moreover to have that line
guarded by Turks and Turkey as Il Eu-
ropean power preserved, virtually main
tanning the old stutus quo.
Russia must back down or fight. We
still believe that she will fight and that
a great European war is imminent, al
though it now appears that the Con-
gress will be able TO stavc it off for a
while longer. We look upon the terri
torial and commercial questions inyol-
we'd us mere external or surface mat
tiers, and believe that there are great
principles at work under all which are
vital to the liberty and happiness of
the people of Europe. Are they ready
to strike now, OF is the salve of Il king
craft compromise to he again applied
to their wounds?

JOSEPH COOK GROWING.

This gentleman, who has become dis
tinguished by his attempts to apply the
scientific method" to proving old theo-
logical errors, is catching the spirit Of
the times and growing liberal In his
lecture Of March 18th, he said of the
doctrine Of endless punishment:
1t is i common misconception of the
doctrine OF future punishment, said tile
speaker, to suppose that it includes the
eternal punishment Of Il majority Of all
created beings.
1t is by no means clear to the speaker
that i majority Of all who had lived in
past time would suffer eternal puniSh-
ment. 1t was one OF the toughest and
most CHASTITY OF the misconceptions OF
popular Orthodoxy to assert that it
declares that infants are lost.
Mr.. Cook referred To tue belief of
Lyman Beecl,er that in the future an
gelic spirits in this world may 50 pre-
dominate that in the end humanity
may present brighter spectacle. We
should also consider i'll this connection
that other worlds may be inhabited.
It was the speakers hope that the num-
Der of the finally lost would bear no
greater proportion to all the inl,:.bit-
ants than the number in prison and
penitentiaries now bears to tho whole
population. Character becomes fixed
and must recocve the effect of its own
voluntary rcmoteness from God.
o, pshaw Joseph, why not speak
right out2 Don't hide behind what you
''hope." and throw a sop to the the
illogical Cerbcrus. You are right in
saying that infant sla'nnation, as taught
by Calvin and Edwards, and which
drove m;a'y IL mother crazy, Twas one of
the toughest and most gllastly of tho
misconceptions Of popular Orthodoxy"
Now come right out and say what you
really believe, and what thrce-fourths
of the church members believe at heart,
that the doctrine Of endless punishment
Is lone of the toughest and most gl,ast-
ly OF the misconceptions Of popular Or
thodoxy." You are lending your
learning and your great attachments
to bolstering UP MEDIEVAL misconcep-
tions of the gospel, to perpetuating the
errors of u bloody, cruel and inhuman
priesthood. You are afraid to come
out boldly and stem the tide, or you
are "mis!uded' Caucasian, Rev.

Death of William Barrett.

Jefferson County loses another old set
tier in the death of Mr.. William Barrett
who died at his home in the town of
WATERFOWL, q miles east of the city,
Wednesday evening last, December 4th,
1878,in the 10th year of his age. Although
in declining health for over a year, and
confined to his room for the last five
weeks of his life, yet his death was some
what unexpected. Mr.. Barrett was born
in the County Cork, Ireland, and emf
grated to the United States in 1882 set
Ting in the State of Vermont. In 1889
he came to the then Territory of Wis
consin and purchased the land on which
he lived from that period up to the time
of his decease. He leaves a wife and
eleven children, eight sons and three
daughters. Six sons are by former wife :.
The desceased was man of more than
ordinary information and intelligence
highly respected by all who knew him,
and it is questionable if he had an enemy
in the world. AS kind neighbor and
true friend he will long be remembered.
Mr.. Barrett's funeral was held at St. Bern
ards Catholic Church Saturday morning
and was numerously attended.

That Mysterious Law.

Something Of a commotion has been
created in certain quarters by the dis
covery that among the laws passed by the
legislature last winter, is one which some
are trying to make it appear is inimicab BILE
to Watertown. An examination of the
Jaw in question shows that it is not dan
gerous at all, and in all probability Wa
tertown was never thought of when the
bill was framed. 1t is simply an enabling
actunder which towns, counties, villages
and cities may compro mise their bonded
Indebtedness. and is on the whole an en-
tirely just and reasonable measure. All
the talk about three mysterious persons
from WATERFOWL stalking out to Madison
and under cover of darkness having the
law drafted and passed under a suspen-
sion of the rules, while Mr.. Finn was at
home sick, is the merest sh. The facts
undoubtedly will appear in due time AMI
show that the bill was passed in the
regular way, and that our member was
asleep at the time, if it be true that he
was ignorant of what was going on.
