Voting immortality beneath the sacred

such offences never meet the light Of day
but are hidden and concealed, sometimes
for the sake of shielding the character of

feared, because the supcriors Of the offend

fear TO provoke exposure by the punish

Religion l. the chief concern
OF mortals here below. -

But when and from whence shall that
Wesley or LoyoIa come! And if they
come will not their work, in time, give
place to the PRIDE and fashion, the minlste
rial impurities, and finally skepticism, az
did the work Of their predecessors. VIII
not the wave of religious reform they Gre
ate, be speedily followed by an overlapping
wave Of doubt and inidclity: A grave and
most perpleXing question Is that which is
here presented. The, churches of to-day
are not founded upon rock, and unless
Christianity takes new departure soon
unless churches are built for the people and
not for the minister; unless the gospel is
made accessible to every human being
unless the religion of Christ displaces the
religion of Fashion-unlcss all this is done,
the time is not distant when ''the gates of
hcll"- the rapidly growing skepticism Of
the day-will surely prevail against the
Christian church, the Protestant arm first,
the Catholic finally. BELIEVER

in which John Wesley was buried. "Who
consccratcd this burial place." he asked,
referring merely to the clergyman who had
performed the formaity Tie aged sexton.
replied, 1T is consccrated by the bones Of
that holy and saintcd man Of God, John
Wesley, which are here Inferred" II is no
wonder that Dean Stanley was struck with
this revercnt rcpy Wesley was one of the
the greatest religious men OF modern times.
In an age Of religious Indifference and sccp-
ticism he set on foot movement which not
merely created new sect, but which re-
acted on the church of England and reused
it from its religious apathy. Mere INJECT
ives against the decay Of piety would have
accomplished nothing, but the powerful
feryor Of Wesley made m era in the history
Of religion. 1t is only By suah depth Of
religious fervor that an Indifferent aud
sceptical age is ever brought back to real
| izing sense Of the awful realities Of human
destiny. This age waits the appearance Of
such man. The prevailing skoptism.
rests chiefly on scientific basis, would
give way before man Of true genius and
apostolic fervor who mad Wesley's power,
orLoyoa's power, or st. B2mard's power to
stir religious scnsibiilics to their
porfoundcs' depths Until, some such
apostolic man arises We despair of any ef-
| icctua check 20 the prevailing sceptcism
aud religious laXity OF the age. The relig-
ious sentiment which is so deeply implanted
in human nature will re-appear in victorious
and all-subduing strength as soon as Provi-

HOW TO INVES1IGATE.

1t has probably occurred to Mr.. Thurman
by this time and also to great many TAXA
tive members of his party, that 1t Is quite
proper to make demand for the invcstlga-
ton of certain alleged occurrences without
having personal knowledge that the allegations
are true. 1t would not Seem to require much
acuteness to reach such conclusion ; out
Democratic newspapers recently have been OF
contrary mind. When Mr.. Blaine moved an
inquiry INTO the reported interference with
freedom of elections i'll the South, ana
the Committee asked him for any evi-
denCe i'll his possession bearing upon the
subject under investigation, there was Il chorus
of jeers and dcnunciatlOns because, instead OF
supplying all the proofs ready-nade, the Name
Senator reminded Mr. Teller and hls associates
that no one person at the NOrth-or at the
South either, for that matter-cOuld possibly
have personal knoWl, DE of all the facts III
the case. and that the Committee itself must
search for the proofs. Now it is Mr. Thur
mans urn. He offered an amendment to 1lr.
Blainc's resolution, extending the inquiry to
wrongful practices in Northern elections, and
ne too is called upon for proofs. He answers
just as Mr. Blaine did, tuat he is not prose
Cutor, and that no ole man can have persona!
knowledge Of all the matters embraced IN the
inquiry. We are waiting for the chorus to
begin AGAIN.
The same rule which applies to the conduct
OF Senators and Representatives in setting
such Investigations afOOt, apple, also 10 the
coulse of the newspapers. a newspaper, like
Il Congressman, can have no personal knOwl-
cdgc of the truth Of stories which reach 1t
&C II. nj OH
and violence at elections, and although 1t may
take pains to test some OF these tales, 1t can
not subject them all to a close examination;
nor when they are SO numerous as they were
last November, and referred 10 such remote
and wldely-seDaratcd PAGES, can 1t even
look into any large proportion OF
thcm A newspaper has 10 power to
compel witnesses to testify. or to protect
Witnesses. When it has exhausted Its limited
means of investigation, If 1t finds pr1md
frcie case of outrage, 1t should eau upon
Congress to do the rest And that IS the
course which the Republican press has fol-
lowed in the present affair
There seems TO be an impression among
DemOcrats-and we suspect that even Mr..
Thurman is not quite free from lt-that II j.
now the duty of the journals which bellcy"
flat freedom of elections was obStructed in
the south, to go before the Committee aud
furnish proof to justify their belief. But ii
the newspapers had the proof, or could get it,
they would not trouble Congress. Any aid
which the press can give i'll the matter it viii
give cheerfully. But the press has done its
duty in urging that there Is a case, not Tor
Judgment, but for trial, and it is the Commit
see which must make the investigation.
