srrLn,s B9LrEF.

The sermon with which the Rev. George
G. Min astonished his Unitarian congrega-
ton, in Chicago, by remuneration of the
belief in God or a future life, was bitter
attack on Christianity Speaking of the
general disbelief in literal hell. he said;
"Yet defenders of conservative theology
would do well to guard strongly the gates
of hell, for when they fall the chief
scourge in the hands of the Church has
lost its lash. Nayl the system then al
ready totters to its fall, for the founda-
tons of orthodoxy are laid in the bed OF
hell" As to the doctrine of eternal exist
enee, he admitted its comforting influence,
but added: IF I could believe there was q
future life, how gladly would let loose
my Imagination to picture its possible
glories. Not the gentle John himself
should beat the air with more eager pinion
to reach the gate which would fain be-
lieve opens upon the fields of paradise.
But, friends, cannot afford to decisive
you, and so / say that however beautiful
the dream may be, the chance of its fulfill
merit seems to me remote and impreba-
century hence will teach morality for It's
own sake, and leave the question of fu-
ture life to speculation. Mr.. Min was
until lately Congregationalist. The Chi
cago church which he now gives up was
formerly the Rev. DR.. Collyer's.

pEsr1rurroN IN HAMILTON COUNTY.

The telegraph has been bringing to us,
daily, accounts of dire distress in the
southern parts of the State; but the re-
ports have been meagre and given few
particulars, and in consequence little at
tention has been paid to them by the more
prosperous sections. But short letter
from a citizen of Hamilton county to the
Chicago Times, reveals an alarming state
Of things in that part of the state. Ac-
cording to the statements contained there
in, there exists there restitution that is
sufficient to call forth not only the SYM
patiry, but also the practical aid of other
and more fortunate localities. Below is
the letter.
McLEANsBoRo, ILL.,. Feb 6.-The Tins
in short editorial of January 81. made
mention Of the widespread distress on ac-
count Of the crop failure IN Hamilton,
which some of our citizens were inclined
to enticise on the ground that the editcrs
OF that paper was not informed on the
subject. Il Is true that the editer of the
Tines Is not informed, neitheris the editor

RussIa,s RULER.

A correspondent writes from st. Peters
burg to London paper: THE chief char
acteristic of the court at CATCHING has been
1owsspirits. The Gar feels depressed,
and the whole court is consequently low
spirited. The Gar does not work now so
often he sits for hours in his library staring
vacantly before him. Once counsellor
was bold enough to suggest that he should
accept the offer made by the Narodnaya
Volya, which promises that Nihilism viii
abdicate and lay down arms if the Emper-
or win seriously take up the constitutional
idea. The Cars reply was that he did
not believe the conspirators would keep
their promise; that nothing was strong
enough to prevent anarchy in Russia ex-
cept the power exercised on the minds of
the masses by the person whom they look
ed upon as a living representative of God
himself Russians could not be brought
to Venerate and obey sovereign accord
ing to Western notions Were he to sacri
fee his authority he would fall a victim to
those who murdered his father. The Gar
sometimes takes walk in the park-in-
different to cold attends church regularly,
takes short drives at sunset, and INDUCES
in game of cards at night. The Empress
corresponds with her relatives, and is some
times rather agitated when her husband
wishes to read the letters she receives from
home, as the views held there arc rarely
palatable to him..

INVESTIGATION.

| The inquiry into the deeds of street
commissioner Warren has been begun and
few days viii determine the verdict
The investigation should be thorough and
nothing should be left unexamined that
would tend to show the guilt or innocence
of the accused. thus only can full justice
be done. The charges are serious ones
and it is not right, nor unless guilty would
Mr.. Warren desire it, that the inquiry
should be stopped without going the full
length of Judicial investigation. Unless
this is done the verdict of the committee
viii be worthless whatever decision they
arrive at. In this question it is well to
state that the action of the Union is not
only exceedingly queer but extremely pre-
judicial to Mr. Warren. That paper has
taken the position OF his defender and Is
attempting before the trial is completed
to create public feeling in his favor; be-
fore the evidence is in it has announced
its own verdict and its report of the pro-
ceedings is all eolored with an evident de-
sign to PREJUDICE the case,
Cdu OulS udfe one
effect on the popular judgement. Mr..
Warren and the Union are known to be on
terms of close intimacy and muucal bene-
fit and in consequence any attempt of the
paper to have him declaredinnocent before
the case is fully examined, especially if
there is not full and searching investiga-
ton, win have the effect of imbuing peo-
pie with the idea that Mr.. Warren is guilty
and desires to have his guilt covered up
The attitude of the Union is exceedingly
illadvised under any hypothesis. AS be-
fore stated the charges are serious ones and
il proven, argue that our system OF public
expenditure needs careful looking into.
The claim that men were forced to con-
tribute before being given work on the
streets. needs and demands investigation,
for if true it is one that should utterly con-
denim any public officer guilty of it.

OF any other paper published IN the west
or anywhere else, or any other person. IN
regard to the full extent Of the destitution
in Hamilton county, and we speak for
Hamilton county only. When it is known
that the corn crop was not more than one
per cent of an ordinary year that, in short,
It was an entire failure; that the wheat
crop did not average two bushels to the
acre that wheat straw. is almost worthless
as food for cattle, that stock is dying all
over the country of starvation That there
are hundreds of families who have no pro
vision or money to buy with that there Is
az GOOD as no demand for labor: that there
is only one railroad through the county,
and many people who might get bushel
of meal are from eight to ten miles from
where it is; that not one family in
ten had corn to fatten thin pork, and that
every grain of corn that is used IN the
county is shipped here and sold By grain
dealers at from rs cents to so cents per
bushe1. that near Raleigh, fifteen miles
south of here. mill was raided and sacked
of every dust of breadstuf by hungry
mob.-we say, with all these facts, and
| a hudred others which might nbe nam ed,
the general public may begin to realize the
condition of the poorer people OF this
county. OF course, we share In the local
pride which would cause us to conceal AZ
long as possible the fact that our county
stands in the attitude of asking the state
to take steps looking to the relief of ouI
poor But we arc. proud to say that the
cause of this restitution is not to be found
at the door of our citizens, for they are al
Industrious and frugal as any people in the
state; but it was the hand of Providence
that withheld the ram from the parched
earth for months last summer, but sent the
chinch bug in myriads and millions to drain
every stalk of corn in the county to the very
last drop.

RAILROAD TARIFF.

The railroad and warehouse commits
sioners are now receiving special attention
from the southern portion of the state, and
the complaint comes from there that the
late tariff, although nominaly in the inter-
ests of the shippers, really operates against
them. The State Register draws special
attention to the following article from the
Carmi Times.
''The State Board of Railwa, and Ware
house Commissioners was created for the
purpose of putting check upon the rail
road companies for the benefit of the peo-
pie; but the recent, tariff adopted by the
board has directly opposite effect For
instance, before the adoption Of this tariff /,
the L. & n. carried slaves to St. Louis
from this station at $3.50 per Car. while
by the company, the charge is $33. The
charges for lumber, stock, flour, etc, are
also considerably increased. AS this is
about all there is to bring money into this
ship. Mr. H. c. Yocum, of St. Louis, who
was here last week, informed us that he
has large amount of wagon timber along
the line of the Shawnee branch of the L.
& N, which he cannot ship without loss,
and he is compelled to let it remain where
it is; and Mr.. George Zeigler informs US
that he contracted for stave timber while
the old rates were in force, which the par
ties cannot deliver without q loss The
members of the board should spare little
time from their arduous labors of drawing
their salary and taking excursions on free
passes, to study the needs of the people.
W. FL. Robinson, of Fairfield, was ap-
pointed under the claim that he represented
the granger interests; yet strangely enough,
to him is assigned the credit % of this
remarkable tariff which operates SO lnjuri
ously to the interests of Southern Illinois.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-02-13
THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

The present condition OF our foreign
trade is hard nut for the balance of
trade" philosophers to crack. The balance
is largely in our favor, as shown by the re-
turns at the custom houses, yet we are exr
porting gold This is The complete and e.
ternal explosion of a very thin, yet very old,
humbug: The boosted "balance in our
faser," which would be humbug :if it
really were balance, turns out to be the
freight bin which our lack of ships compels
US to pay to foreigners. 1t is as if a far
mer, selling his corn for lumber to build a
barn, should hire man and team to do
his hauling, allowing him to take his pay
out of the money he received for the corn
as he went along. If he made one load a
day he would take ten dollars worth of
and fifty cents worth of lumber. The g
balance of trade" would be in the farmers
favors all the time, and according to the
inscrutable logic of John Roach, Pig-iron,
would be making just $2.50a day, clear
money. The dictum of horse sense would
be that ii was the teamster that was max
ing the Ss so day If he were discharged,
and the farmer did bis own hauling. there
would be no balance eithar way. The
moral of this little anecdote is that the way
to maintain a Favorable balance of trade
is to get rid of your ships and hire your
CARVING done With their ts,laf ineans
sistency, the tariff benefciaries, at their
conventions, declared in favor of maintain
ing favorable balance of txade, and also
of building American ships. which, If they
had not been stepped in stupidity, they
must have known would If carried far
enough, maintain perpetual balance
against US. If we did all our carrying. we
should never have balance in our favor.
