CLERGYMEN'S SALARIES.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD:-
In your Sunday issue, under tho title Of "Mammon
and the Pulpit" noticed that clergymen when
questioned in regard to their salaries. especially
when they have fat ones their stereotype express
sion that 'They don't get half what they could make
as lawyers, for instance" Now. will inform the
clergy and the public generally that one-half If not
the United States do not make much in the egiti-
mate practice of their profession as journeynen
penters do at their trade. Clergymen seem to think
that lawyers make their money easy. A few of them
do. and SO do few clergymen in proportion
TO their whole number But many, yes, most law
yers. have to work as hard for their money as day
laborers and then sometimes. as the clergy say in
regard TO their salary they don't get it," And
great many times they devote their time, money and
labor in the ends of justice and right-charity-
do not receive for it, 1t is the crying shame
that they pay their clerks mere pttance and en,-
poy rich mems sons, who can live home with their
parents. and those less fortunate who have strug
gled through college and in their studies to M them
selves for practice, crowded out to work
for next nothing starve. The preaching
Of the Gospel is different. 1t docs not require money
education for person, to be Christian. Pride
Testament tells the truth. Christ and His apostles
did not teach that ministers should have big salaries,
fine clothing and costly array, fashionable churches
clubs but they did teach to give to the poor and to
bind up the broken hearted. l sometimes think that
clergymen skip part Of the New Testament or
twist 1t to suit themselves Let have OF the
New Testament Christianity. and not pride luxury,
taught by Christ who gave His life to save sinners

to the Sistinc this occasion. No tickets were
issued. Invitations sent to the Roman mobiles
and TO the diplomatic personages in Rome, aud to
limited number of persons possessing favor at the
Vatican Court. II said that Leo XIII. reserved
to himself the privilege OF granting admissions and
that the Cardinals had no power OF intro
ducing their friends. Among the fortunate rtcip-
tents Of invitations were two English ladies' Lady
Eyre and Mrs Lyster. and an Irish gentleman named
Scully. The royal tribune was altogether empty-a

voice Ia doubtless fine. but something more than
voice IL required in the Sistinc. and the frafe has
had no musical training until a year or two ago,
and his powerful notes are best heard in some
Horid solo, being too undisciplined tor the severe

The Senatorial Ccnfe..s.

The bitter and closely contested fights for the
senatorshipS OF several states are AT present the
events Of greatest political interest In Illinois

attempting To force the fighting. His friends

The Outrageous Tax on ouin.ne.

There Is loud call from various parts OF the
country for the repeal Of the d1ty on 1uinine.
which is characterized as "a blood tax" The
wholesale price OF quinine in this country is
ABOUT $500 al ounce. and in the foreign market
about $ an ounce, price al which, bur for the
duty OF twenty per centun al Ca'ore.a. it could
be placed on sale in our own markets. The dIf-
Terence of sixty cents an ounce goes il is
stated, almost without deduction into the
pockets OF the two Philadelphia monopolists:
and on the estimate that the consumption of
quinine in this country is 100000 ounces a
year, the American people have been paying
s'2o,wo year 10 two firms, whose estimated
wealth Is twenty million. Naturally a strong
lobby Is working here to defeat the bill of Rep
reSentative Morrison repeating the duty on
quinine. but in view OF the public feeling ex-
pre- $Sed in opposition TO the tax. which bears so
OppresSively On the sick and needy, it is to be

Trouble Ahead for st. Louis and

The feature OF the new census bill which pre-
vents, as far as possible, the prOtracted enum-
Grafton of the population and confines it 10 as
brief a period. as is thought practicable, is,
doubtless, good one. But it involves super
human labors on the part of competing cities
like Chicago and st. Louis. The ordinary
methods of causing ones self to be counted
several times by the census taker. which, under
the circumstances, municipal pride tempts each
citizen TO practice, are Intellectual. 1t Is thought
that only the severest straining OF western
capacity and enterprise Will enable the inhabl-
tants of these two cities TO appear In different
places at the same time in sufficient numbers TO
yindiCate their directories. An instantaneous
enumeration is not without its disadvantages.
