TIE temperance people are very naturally
indignant that Garfield refused to pledge
himself to use his endesvors to extinguish
the liquor traffic in case of his election to the
Presidency. He and his friends have made
greas profession OF his Christian principles,
and it was none too much to expect that he
would assist SO good cause as that of tenn
peranoe, or at least promise to do so. PoIit-
zeal exigencies, however, seem to predomi-
nate with Garfield over religious principles.

4 PIG IN A POKE.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of ouf
conscience, that in simplicity and godly sinceri-
ty, not with feshy wisdom, but by the grace of
God, we have had our conversation in the
world, and more abundantly to yon-ward.-I1.
CORINTHIANS I:12.
The question is often asked why so few
people embrace religion and join the church.
The reasons are maltiform, and volumes
could hardly contain them. One Of the
most potent, however, is the uncertainty of
getting the genuine article. People do not
care to buy pig in poke. They prefer to
know what they are buying in religion as
we'll as in trade, and cannot be induced to
risk their all on chance that may result in
their ruin. There are in the first place too
many seets that lay claim to being the orig
inal and only genuine Jacobs. and each in
sists that the only road to life everlasting
is through their portals. Baptists, Presby-
terians, Methodists, Congregationalists,
Catholics, and hundred other sects, differ
from each other in greater or less degree
upon points which they regard as essential
to salvation. Il is manifest to even the
most obtuse intelligence, that all cannot be
right-that but one can be the correct en-
trance to the kingdom Of heaven. If one
chooses between the great number Of sects
placed before him, he may, perhaps, hit upon
the correct one, bat even then he is buying
pig in poke. He is like the man who in,
vests in a lottery-there are a hundred
chances to one against his winning prize.
Many men who espouse the cause of re-
ligion, develop in their religious lives much
of the same uncertainty that characteristics
the sects. They may occasionally manifest q
genuine Christian love and devotion, and
prove e1emplars to all their neighborR
Such man does more good by the force of
his example than all the sermons preached
in christendom can accomplish. Others are
nkewarm in their attachment to the cause,
or insinoere in the performance of their
Christian duties. If any one cites them ss
patterns of Christianity, he is very apt to buy
pig in poke, and find himself badly
cheated in Abe transaction. Others defraud
themselves by fondly dreaming that they are
in possession of religion of the genuine sort,
when they have none of il. Ii ia manifest
that they have been buying pig in poke
from themselves, and do not yet appreciate
the fact that they have played sharp dodge
upon themselves.
When people assume the responsibilities
Of protesting Christians they should fully
understand what they are doing. Their eyes
should be fully open, and they should see to
ii that they are NOT imposed upon by q pig
in poke. They should carefully examine
the tenets of the several churches and Gem
pare them with the principles of the master,
naore especially with the purpose of sscer-
tanning if they lead to an observance of that
essence Of Christianity, the golden rule. If
they find these requisites among the most ina
peratiye of the duties required of professors
they should not hesitate for moment, but
east their lot with that church, whether it be
poor or fashionable, and then strive to live

THE DAVIDSON BLOCK.


for Business and Professional Men.
In the reconstruction of the Davidson
block, corner of Fourth and jackson streets
a new enterprise has been determined upon
by the owner, Commodore Davidson. The
block is very centrally located, where street
railroads and travel converge, and for many
purposes it is as desirable as any corner in
the city. In looking the field over and esti-
mating the probabilities for the future, Mr.
Davidson has reached the conclusion that
jackson street for some years
to come will be one OF
the best retail streets in the city. The
wholesale and jobbing business seems to be
tending rapidly towards Broadway and will
probably extend up the streets lying east OF
jackson and between jackson and Broad
way. Up to the present time there has moi
been single block of any magnitude in St
Paul fitted up expressly for the accommoda-
ton of Offices. In the vicinity of jackson
Third, Fourth and 6ibley streets, and in
that part of the city many professional gen.
tlemen and business men have sought fol
suitable Office accommodations in vain. Tt
meet this demand and as prospective prof
liable venture Commodore Davidson has de-
cided to fill the second, third and fourth
floors of the block with offices.
Plans have just been completed by which
stairway will be run up almost from the
centre of the jackson street front, and also
a passenger elevator, and all the floors above
the first will be cut into commodious Office
rooms and pleasant and we'll lighted halls
The entire building will be heated by steam
and the stores below, which are the mos
convenient in the city, will be rented for re-
tail business.
It is intended to make this, as it lie, the
pioneer in this class of buildings, the fnes
Office block in this city, and lawyers, doctors
architects, dentists, insurance and othel
agents will probably swarm around the cor
ner of Fourth and Jackson streets nexi
spring in greater numbers than in any othel
part of the city. Taylor & Craig, who are
in charge of the reconstruction of this block
have the plans for each floor about complet
| ed, and they are instructed to push thu
building to completion as rapidly as posi-
BILE. 1t will be ready for occupancy by early
winter. As an indication of the demand fol
room in this block, Col. j. q. Davidson
who has charge of it for the commodore
says he already has on file numeroul
applications for room in tn
building, and yesterday he received an ur
gent letter from q firm in Karsas City, beg
ging him not to conclude any contract fol
the store, corner Fourth and Jackson, IN
til member of the firm could arrive here t
negotiate for lease.
We trust this new enterprise will prov
profitable, and benefit generally to business
in that part of the city. Should it prove I
paying investment, we hope it will induce
the owner to build other large and handsome
blocks on some of the numerous corner lot
which he owns in st. Paul.

Where these are lacking there is an unspoken

the aching void are those who have the biggest

are to all appearances, successful beyond the
average lot. They come home to sit in bed
sooms, which boon could have been achieved
with triing outlay, because it is what is outside
of that local that has cost the money. The
easy chairs are shut up below. There are shams
on the pillows, "hypocrites" on the sheets, and

How shocked the fair proprietors of this shift

very distinguished people have slept and died

more modern in his tastes, but the style of his

That's the rub. To be Of his caste intellec.

of fraud and corruption in regard

But there are others in the dem

that way. While condemning the

thought the cry of fraud would

the delusion that all the rascality of

could make him the scape. goat for

can not make his democratic friends

they were forced to do. IF he
thinks they did it sincerely be-

and having very little intelligence,
and no interest in the welfare of
the comm unity in which they live, it
is easy enough to incite them to un-
lawful and reckless acts.
There are enough of this class in
most of the states, to make it a
temptation to demagogues, in the
two great parties of the land, to
court them. Such politicians, do
not insult the intelligence of society
by espousing all the enormities of
the Kearney doctrine, but they
grow eloquent in denouncing the
money power, bloated bond
holders, etc. It is, however, Kear-
neyisrn, in diluted form. 1t is
based on spirit the very opposite
of patriotic. There are men who
indulge in it, who ought to be
ashamed of themselves, for they
know better. There are others who
care nothing for the general good,
so long as they themselves are on
top. 1t will be well for the people
to teach both lesson, by leaving
them severely alone, when they ask
for public preferment. 1t is never
safe to trust q man who is willing to
disturb the public peace in order to
bring himself into prominence.
