THE GREEK pRomPrrruDE.

A dispatch states that the Greeks will
move forward promptly unless the Western
Powers persuade them to stand where they
are. The Greeks have, for considerable
period, had much more stomach for fight
ing on paper than in reality. When
brigandage and safe plumber and throat
cutting are to be done, these ingenious and
progressive people are always on hand (;
but when it comes to crossing bayonets
with the hardy aud ferocious soldiers of
the Padishah they have with rare excep-
tions been wanting in enthusiasm. The
Greek army is very formidable one SO far
as the written vouchers 60, but it has
been intimated for some time that it is a
very different affair in reality. No doubt
there are some Greeks who really wish to
fight the Turk, but it is to I've feared that
the majority of those who are now crying
sOn to Constantinople p are inspired
rather by wish to embarrass and destroy
their own Government, than by any fran
tic desire to expel the Moslem from Eu-
rope. In fact, unless the Western Powers
tie Turkeys hands behind her back, there
can be no doubt that she will SO quickly
dispose OF her Greek antagonist as to cause
the latter considerable astonishment and
dismay. And it is perhaps the hope and
expectation of this tying of the hands of
Turkey that makes the Greeks so impa-
tent to advance and glut their revenge.

THE PRESIDENT ON PoLYGAMY.

We are sorry to see disposition in
President Garfield to protest too much. I"
If what he is reported as saying about the
question of polygamy be true, we shall
not anticipate any practical measures from
his administration in that regard. As a
member of Congress for half a generation
General Garfield has necessarily been kept
informed as to the obstacles and difficulties
of the Mormon question. He has seen
Congress take it up half dozen times,
handle it awkwardlY, and drop it again.
He is aware that it has been impossible to
get any anti-polygamy legislation executed
in Utah, and that it must continue to be
impossible to do this just as long as the
people who believe in polygamy constitute
three-fourths or four-ffths of the commu-
nifty. And therefore when President Gar
field, knowing all these things, asserts
that polygamy must and shall be sup
pressed, we can only conclude that he is
talking to Buncombe, since we cannot be-
lieve that he has discovered new way of
doing that which he has so often before
failed to accomplish. Polygamy will never
be suppressed by legislation. We make
bold to hazard that prediction now. It
viii, On the contrary, derive strength and
support from any hostile movement, and
it will be chung to with increasing fanat-
icism the more vigorously it is assaulted.

A FRUGAL HoUsEKEEPER The tradi.
tional Frenchwoman who regales her family
with great variety of dishes made from
one small bone, with a little mace and
lemon juice, has always been an object OF
veneration; she has stimulated many a
conscientious young woman to present her
husband with repasts which Frenchman
might possibly have eaten with relish, but
which the American husband has been
obliged to confess his inability to appre-
ciate. by the way, isn't it about time
that we heard less of her?) Instigated by
the thought of her frugality I tried an ex-
pertinent last week which was decided
success. We had used can of peaches,
one of plums and one of backberries in
each can more than cupful of juice was
left. 1t seemed pity to waste it, so put
it all together in porcelain kettle and let
it boil for twelve or fifteen minutes at
the end of that time poured it through a
common wire sieve into bowl. This jelly
made the filling for large cake and for a
plate of tarts. After the manner of pro-
fessional cook, the family were not let into
the secret of the jelly, and their approving
remarks may be regarded as sincere.

snmething the rourist Needs.

The tourist and the commercial traveller
who visits foreign lands, or regions of his own
country where vicissitudes of climate are
among the influences prejudicial to health,
omits necessary precaution if he takes with
him no medical safeguard against illness,
The most reliable, if due credit be given to
the statement of travellers, mariners and emf
grants who have used it, is Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, a sovereign protective against ma.
larial and ship fever, and disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, to which persons
in trsnsitu from one country to another, in
the tropics, and emigrants TO the far West
are peculiarly subject. This highly accredited
medicine utilities bad atmospheric influences,
the effects of impure water, and inures the
constitution to changes Of temperature and
an unaccustomed climate. Hardship and
fatigue are endured with less danger Of evil
consequences if the system is fortified with
this incompatible tonic and nervine.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

Reports from Panama indicate that
though active measures are being taken
to begin the construction of NJ. Lesseps'
canal, the belief in its accomplishment is
becoming very faint among those who
ought to be in the best position to weigh
the enterprise judicially. NJ. Lesseps has
now $50, 000, 900 to start upon. and when
he has expended that amount he will call
for $50, 900, 600 more. That will give him
Sl20, 200, 600 in all, wherewith to build a
canal which competent engineers have
declared cannot cost less than $500, 900,
600. But not only is NJ. Lesseps under
obligations to build his canal for less than
half the estimated cost he must pay out
a large percentage of the capital he has in
hand, in the form of interest. For this
peculiar and emphatically Frenchy enter
prise sets ort with the distinct and openly
avowed determination to pay interest out
of its capital from the beginning, and it
has been actually supposed that this
amazing arrangement would recommend
it to the shrewder class of investors. The
rational presumption is that the work will
go on smoothly for the first two or three
years, or until the first capital subscribed
has been expended When the second call
is made, however, and especially when it
is found that third may be necessary, the
trouble will begin, 1t has in fact been
already suggested that there never was an
enterprise which undertook with so little
concealment to enrich its inside ring, and
which held out such plain cautionary sig
mails to outsiders. No one supposes that
M. Lesseps will be impoverished by the
undertaking. but the question is as to the
fate of the investing public. These con-
siderations of course do not include the
interstate political requirements of the
case, but in that respect there is increasing
evidence that difficulties are to be looked
for. The probability that the rights of
the United States on the isthmus may
have to be enforced at no distant date, is
in fact becoming greater, ard the French
i6cation of the isthmus now proceeding is
liable at almost any time to eliminate in
local disorders which may necessitate
American intervention, of course to the
serious detriment of M. Lesseps project

THE DECLINE OF RELIGIOUS oBsERv.
ANCR.
his question.

An attempt has recently been made to
ascertain the percentage of attendance at
the churches of San Francisco, and though
the inquiry was not made with great par
ticularity, it seems to be admitted that its
results are tolerably accurate. The con-
clusion reached was that the aggregate at
tendance at all the churches was below
40, 600, in population of go, 900 at the
lowest estimate. 1t is further made clear
that by far the greater number of the
church-goers are women and children. In
fact if these were subtracted there would
remain but "beggarly array of empty
benches" OF course there has been
more or less inquiry as to the cause of this
indifference to public worship, but as the
investigation has thus far been confined to
the preachers, the results are naturally quite
unsatisfactory. The truth is that people
are ceasing to go to church because they
are ceasing to believe the doctrines taught
there. And as this unbelief is the result
of sober inquiry, and not of caprice or
malice, it is evident to all but the preach
ers that this state of things is not likely to
change in the direction they desire. There
is but one rational means of overcoming the
skepticism of the present day, and that is
by demonstrating the truth of the doctrines
which the Churches teach. They must re-
alize, however hard it may be to do so,
that the people do not acknowledge the
force OF the old arguments any longer,
and that it is consequently no bet
ter than pouring water into sieve
to bring them forward again. What
is wanted on the part OF the
Church is new and valid proofs of the
truth of their assertions. Modern science
and exegetical skill have completely under
mined all the old clerical positions, and
they are no longer tenable. If it is pos
sible to take up new positions the change
ought to be made with as little delay as
possible, for the influence of the churches
upon society is becoming weaker every
day, and the men who fill the pulpits have
ceased to command the intelligence of the
world. This is what is the matter with
the churches, and it is bad symptom
that they have been incapable of recogniz-
ing the truth themselves. 1t is not by
Moody and Sankey revivals that the popu-
lar interest in Christianity is to be re.
vived. It is by making it clear that it is
deserving the belief of intelligent beings

Here we find that in 1915 Mr.. Watson
predicted within about 800, 600 of what
the population of the United States would
be in 1860, or As years after the recording
of his prophecy. As General Walker says
in speaking of this matter, it almost stag
gers credulity. "That man, mere hui
man being" says General Walker, "should
be able to predict fifty years in advance
the number Of inhabitants in rapidly
growing country within fraction of one
per cent. seems wonderful almost beyond
belief" Had the war not interviewed, It is
believed that Watson's predictions would
have held good in 1870 and 1880. But in
1870 he was ahead of the census nearly
1900, 600 and in 1880 nearly 5000, 600.
The losses Of the war, direct and contin-
gent, we can never know, but Watson's
figures almost absolutely accurate up to the
war period, would show it to affect US the
present year to the extent of nearly s.
600, 600. That is, had there been no war,
the present population of the United States
weuld be about So, 600, 00O Watson pre-
dicted that the population in 1900 would
reach l00,000,000, but General Walker
does not believe it will be over about So
GOO 900.
