BREAD AND BUTTER CLERGY.

A writer in an English ReOieaO can
not find it in his heart to admit that
clergymen are dissim,lar to most other
men, who are il fuenced by sordid con-
siderations; that the higher principles
of religion are forgotten by them in an
attempt to please vulgar and even evil
tastes, that thrift may follow fawning.
1t is charged that clergymen are sin
competent, by reason of creeds, and
the obligations of their office, to inves-
tigste truth freely" Inside these
creeds, says the writer, there are
"bread and butter, and clothing and
shelter /; outside there is professional
ostracism. It is charged that there
are the fewest ministers In this weak
world of awful sins, who are willing
for truths sake, or for what they be-
lieve to be .he truth, to engage in in
vestigations which can only bring dis
aster TO their occupations. By this it
is proposed to assert that Christianity,
in its orthodox forms, is untrue, and
that inquiry into the principles upon
which It is founded are false, and that
clergymen, feeling this to be true, are
unwilling to allow the light of inquiry
to enter into their sacred precincts. 1t
must be admitted, when we examine
into the accusations and counter accu-
Stations of churches-into the admit
ted certainty OF unregenera.ed souls
through the instrumentality of Method
ism as applied to Cstholicity, or the
Cnristian church as applied to Episco-
pacy-that much color obtains for Il e
opinions OF this English skeptic, AMI
since by such Implication between
churches there must be lack of soul
saving, there is consequently sort of
bread and butter feature connected
with the ministry.
II our church friends will look
into 1t fairly, too, they must ad-
nit there is some reason for these
charges of hypocracy. But the causes
leading to this condition of christi
anity by no means arises in the doc
trines by which it was instituted over
1900 years ago. Christ and his
disciples taught PATH, and out of
faith could come even the feeding of a
hungry multitude with ave little
loayes and two little fishes. Christ
and has disciples thought neither of
bread and butter, nor of raiment, nor
of shelter. God gave all, and faith
paid for 1t. We're there the same
faith now that possessed the hearts Of
these men, were there ministers whose
beings belonged to God alone, dispos-
sessed of mortal passions and fash
ions. We might even realize such mira
cles a. were common in q by-gone age.
Christianity was evidently not estab-
lished to Be perpetuatsd BY inquiry,
and here is where our English critic

THE Washington Star tells that when
Mr.. Bayard was approscsed~5y his
friends on the committee, ar-lez1kd
where he would prefer the national con-
vention TO be held, he replied that I was
a matter which he felt he had no right to
interfere with, thai he had no choice Of
location Whatever. He hoped the COM
mittee would consult the best interests
of the party, but for himself he was
not candidate for presidential nomi-
nation, and earnestly desired that his
friends would not seek to direct the
convention in his interest. Such an
assertion should make Bayard still
stronger with the people.

THE OKLAHOMA BILL.

The attempted passage of the bill
creating the territory of OkIahoms lie
another insidious attempt to- wrest
from peaceable Indians rights that the
government he's accorded them. II
the territory of Oklahoma is estab-
lished, the Indian territory will pass
from its present owners. No pledges
to the contrary will be worth the pape:
on which they are written, for none a:e
more solemn and binding than those by
which the Indians hold this land. It
is guaranteed to them and their de-
scendsnts forever, by the plighted faith
of the United States, which, if partially
broken, will be wholly broken when
''public INTEREST," demands it. These
Indians are doing we'll, better even than
was expected of them by their most
ssnguine friends. They will continue
to do so until the white man Is allowed
to encroach upon their possessions, and
then they will become revengeful and
worthless, and bloodshed will follow
broken faith, and an Indian war will
next be inaugurated. Thus the
red man has been driven and
thus he will be driven to the end Of
his chapter in human events. The
territory, has rs, 900 Indians, and so, 900
of these are tilling the soil and edu-
eating their children, and these accept
the belief In Christ, and they have many
churches and are building many more.
II unmolested they will do better, but
they are doomed, and when Congress
passesi the Oklahoma bill it ought
to declare: Whereas, the red man
is doomed, and whereas his race should
be exterminated; therefore, be it re-
solved, that the Congress Of the United
States does give authority to the white
man to enter into and take his posses
sions and his goods, and even his life,
if need be, to carry out these purposes.

THE Economist, recognized authority
In England on the subject, estimates
the balance OF trade between England
and the United States as follows: TAX
ing all crops together, cotton, tobacco
and food, it computes that in 1S70-60
England will pay, or has paid, $780,
900, 900 and Europe $50. 600. 600 more
than in 1e7S-79. From England the
exports to this country are $50 600, 900
more in the latter period than in the
earlier. This, without taking into ac-
count the large shipments OF gold,
mounts to abou, third of the ball
ance. The Econ0mist is inclined to
pr, dict that increased English Exports
and not shipments Of coin will meet
the food and other raw products yet To
cross the Atlantic. Current predictions
in Chicago that the demand for food
in England and Europe Is 80 fer from
being mst that 100000, 900 bushels
are still needed, with only S5. 600, 900
which can be supplied, receive small
credit in the Ec0nOmist. or in fact in
any English paper. The truth probs
bly, is that with supplies coming in from
Australia, Chill and, other southern
points, the foreign demand will about
take the surplus In this country at fair
orices, and not much more.

JAY GOULD, it is now stated, backs
Jun Blaine for the Presidency, and
since Gould has not an equal probably
in this country in powers OF oombina-
ton and organization, he may be con.
sidered a powerful factor in advancing
the interests OF the Maine Senator.
Gould has not only succeeded In rail-
road management. but he has shown
himself, as in the case Of Iugslls OF
Kansas, capable Of succeeding against
the greatest odds in political undertake
ings. 1t is sald that he spends money
most lioerally in his designs, but they
are so shaped as to cause its return In
creased at least tenfold. Blaine Is bril-
liant and fascinating, but pliAble, and
it is suggested that cool million, ex-
pended by Mr.. Gould in making HIM
President, might in the four years o.
presidential term, find its way back
into his pockets, accompanied by ten
fifty or q hundred millions.

occupies false ground. Christ isught
that faith was the requisite OF salYa-
tion, and it is the degeneration Of
eighteen centuries thst has produced
men bold enough to hinge Christianity
upon investigation instead of upon
faith. In this the clergy are ssdly to
blame, aud the lsity have a weight of
stu to snswer for which we grestiy
fear will close the gates of a blessed
immortality forever in their faces
Fashion and folly have gained upon
humanity, even under the divine
teachiHgs of the Christian religion,
until they have pervsded- society, and
mounting the sacred precincts of the
altar, they have robbed it OF F 4ith and
Charty, and it not thst Hope still
remains, the doom of Christianity might
reveal itself amid dark clouds, with
out silver Innings, amid the heavens.
Evils that control churches should be
uprooted, and until they are, the cause
OF Christianity must encounter ene-
mics, with accumulatlngi arguments
against it. The pulpit should be puri-
fed, and until it is so, there will be
more critics continually writing down
the churches. There ls not only
a .bread-and-butter- clergy, but
broadcloth and silk hat and
patent leather and perfumed clergy,
which devotes more time to play
ing the gallant and to having, as
we Americans term it, "a good time"
than it does to saving sinners from a
condition of eternal scorching. A
man in this age and time who would
dress with the simplicity of Jesus, or
humiliate himself in the sight of God
as did Job, would be Immediately in
quired into, IN the nature of lunatic,
and would meet with fate as bad as
the Dow brothers. These are the things
that effect Christianity through the
churches. There is no more of symplic-
Ity and of faith as 1t was directed that
Christians exercise them. That the age
of miracles Is no more is brought about
by the absence of these requisites of
Christianity, and our vain religious
world is in strange predlcament.
Forms not intended and practices not
warranted have played sad havoc with
the outward evidences of Christianity,
and were 1t not spinning this Sunday
editorial too lopg, we would show that
congregations are more to be blamed
than well meaning preachers. There
fore this is reserved for another Sun
day Issue.

he does nobly, and if his advice be ta-

achievements await Democracy in this
state than for many years IN the past.
Col. B. Is thoroughly allied to the

In the case of John Usener v. The
State, in Harris county, the court con-
victed the defendant for selling intox.
icating liquors on Sunday. Appeal
was taken, and the Court of Appeals,
sitting at Galveston, has just consid-
cred the case, and holds that the bill
adopting the codes was constitutional,
and that the Sunday law is therefore
constitutional. The Neics, in giving
the result of this case, Gays: SIN the
opinion delivered by presiding Judge
White, the court holds that they are
not required to consult the journals to
ascertain whether or not the provision
has been complied with, but that their
investigation is restricted to an exami-
nation OF the enrolled bill, as found on
file in the Office of the Secretary of
State. That the bill has been properly
enrolled and filed in the Secretary of
States office Is not controverted or de-
MED, nor the fact that it has been de-
clared law by those charged with that
duty. Such being the case, the cor
rectness OF the discharge OF official
duty in all antecedent proceedings will
be presumed. In this case, however,
the court say they have, for their own
satisfaction, examined the journals OF
both houses in regard to the suspension
of the rules on the passage and adop-
tion of the law, and find that the con.
stitutional provision was strictly COM
piled With.n

THE Star mail service embraces all

THE Star mail service embraces all
routes where the mails are not carried
oyer railways or by water. To cut
this service down as proposed to once
week, would be great hardship to
Texas, and to many. other states
and communities. The bill sets forth
that in December the Postmaster Gen.
eral pointed out that deficiency ap-
preparation of 50 900 600 would be re-
quired to continue the present ex-
pedited schedule of the Star routes TO
the end of the fiscal year; that no def
mite action has been taken and that the
department has issued general order
cutting down the service, which re-
quires one months notice to the con-
tractors and involves the payment of
one months pay, aggregating $780,
600, an investment for which the gov
ernment receives no corresponding SER
vice. The committee, however, urges
the passage of bill continuing the
appropriation for the Star routes upon
their present basis, but the bill omits
any consideration OF three or four
routes which are under investigation,
leaving them to be affected by the ulti-
mate recommendation of the commit
tee on appropriations. The bill asks
for an appropriation of 81. 500, 00).
