the time lessons. they get more and more
bold. A few minutes before seven they
proceed to more forcibe demonstration.
They think if they can clear out these
blasphemers few minutes before the time,
they have done so much good work, while
the worshipers, on the other hand, think if
they can keep possession few minutes
after tho time, they have done an equally
good work.
As some of these sccts usc torches wax
candles, slaves, or crooks, in their worship,
they proceed to use them as weapons of
ofrcnsc or defense, and n free fight ensues
Then come in the soldiers, who separate
the combatants by filing in between them,
turning out those whose hour is up, and
leaving the place in tho possession of the
last corners. If blood is she'd the church
is closed for the day. Such scenes nre oc.
curing all day long, and the presence of
soldiers is absolutely necessary.

The new G. NJ. S. N. Co.'S. steamer that
will shortly run on the China line in con-
junction with the Hoch,mg, is named the
Mee.Eoo. She went on her trial trip on the
18th October. The Shanghai Courier
gives the following description of her hull,
and fittings generally: Her draught of
water, was 10 feet 10 inches forward and
IL feet 2 inches aft-a very light draught
considering the tonnage of the vessel. She
has been fitted with compound double in
verified cylinder engines of $50 nominal
horse power, her length over all, 29J feet;
length of main deck 27l feet beam amid.
ships 33 feet depth of main deck feet 3;
depth of lower tween deck 6 feet 6 depth
of hold II feet 6; total depth 26 feet in.
ches. Her tonnage is LAS gross and
l,2S4 net. She carries 200 tons of coal in
her bunkers, her estimate consumption be.
ing II tons day. Altogether the vessel
is constructed to carry $50 Chinese pas
senger', $50 of whom can be Accommodated
on the main deck whilst the lower tween
deck can be used either for passengers or
rgo, as occasion may require. Her only
drawback, perhaps, is the weakness of her
gines, as they hardly seem powerful
She wonld have stood engines at least an.
other so horse power with great advantage.
If she is to go to San Francisco, speed Of
at any rate, ten knots an hour should have
been secured. She made an average of 60
revolutions minute, or from 81 to . knots
with slack tide and head wind and then it
must be remembered that she did not have
an eighth part or her cargo on board which
she is intended to carry. She has eight
boats, three being life boats fitted with air
tanks aud four being provided with patent
tripping gear; and SO simple is the apparatus
for releasing them that six can be lowered
in about three minutes. A house has been
constructed ! feet long Ii feet wide
and 4 feet high on the upper deck for
the use Of Chiuamen wishing to smoke
opium.
The vessels new name signifies POLITICALLY
" Beauty and Wealth., but prosaically
" America and Wealth. She is command
ed by Captain Cunningham, who formerly
had charge Of the c. NJ. S. N. Co.'S vessel

The Journal Of the Future.

Tho newspaper Of the future-and the
not distant futurc-wil be independent OF
tho politicians. Tho experience of news
papers which have been sincere in their
expressions, which have refused to shield
the corrupt and vicious in any party, has
been altogether encouraging. 1ndepend.
ent journalism does not mean indiscrimin.
ate abuse-but in this day it means either
sickly neutrality or vigor in fighting the
evils in all political parties. And here is
where the properly independent journal is
sometimes misunderstood even by inteli.
gent men. A calm and temperate argu.
ment, in which the effort to appear fair
gives rogues almost n certificate of good
character, cannot be effective in warfare
upon rogues yet tho newspaper that takes
rogue by the collar and lifts him up to
the public gaze as he really is, is sometimes
called abusive, malicious, personal. Con-
slider the condition of our politics in the
hands of the meu who are responsible for
much that is bad in the press; men with an
inordinate greed for Office, ready to sacrifice
anything to secure office and then TO use it
in the interest of self and pnrty consider
the false issues with which the people are
deluded, the injuries that are inflicted upon
the country by partisan Legislation, the
corrupt bargaining by which the best sen.
timent among the people is outraged
agine where it will lead-and then say,
whether calm and temperate discussion of
principles will correct the evils. But there
are men who will denounce vigorous war
upon political msleaders as abusve-iust
us they declare that preacher who battles
bravely against gigantic error has none
of the humility of religion about him.
The public is fairly ready to welcome
genuinely honest newspaper, though with
not unnatural suspicion. Newspapers are
no longer supported by the people simply
because they are party organs, and the man
of foresight can find in this the beginning
of n sentiment that will eventually demand
of the press sincerity. A newspaper that
endeavors to be Just will make errors
human judgment is not infallible, and the
only safety from error lies in strict neu-
trality''or inanity-but it will also make
place for itself in the community to W hich
n mere party organ may aspire in vain. AS
this truth becomes more generally recog-
nized, and as the influence of the profes.
sional politician over the people wanes, the
subserviency of newspapers to party lead
ers will vanish, and that only wilt live that
endeavors to be just in its treatment of all
questions. Wii,oaukee Sentinel.
