A plan is under consideration in

PEI, to ship q thousand able.bodied
men and women from that borough
to Canada or to the United States.
These people are not put down as
paupers, but the borough has to
support them, and the tax on the
people is $4,000 a year for that
purpose, This clever schsme is to
raise $4,000 in lump, which will
pay for transportation and leave
few dollars over for each immigrant.
This looks like the Swiss scheme of
sending paupers to New York, and

RELIGIOUS HARMONY.

As Mr.. Beecher grows older he dis
cards the conventionalities of orthodoxy
and INDUCES IN flights of thought that
sound strange, if not to say startling to
people who have been accustomed to IN
vest revealed religion with the sanctity
of infallibility. As an illustration take
a few sentences from his last Sunday s
sermon, as reported by a New York
paper:
Concerning modern churches Mr.. Beecher
ayerred that in the last one thousand years al
the wars of ambition and all the crueltles O
tyrants had not equaled the conduct of churche:
arrayed against each other. They had gone ou
HkedeYils, fierce to establish the true faith, 1
was true there was now faint dawn of bette
day, but where was there . school of theology
80 catholic that It could open its heart to any
one who was like Christ? Could AndoVer ~ {
East Windsor and Princeton and Allegiance
ana New Haven fraternize? If there was
seminary Of Scotch Covenanters, were there
twenty people on Gods earth whom 1t coult
admit The spirit ofthe churches had been tC
divide and separate men. They had learned
theology, and q good deal of it was the kind
taught by the devil but they had not yet
learned what Christ was.
Taken as a whole this is undoubtedly
too sweeping, as well as severe. But it
is not devoid of certain stern philoso,
ply. How many christians there are,
aead set in the faith of their own par
ticular church and utterly intolerant as
to others, yet who can hardly tell where
IN they differ from their brothers of
another persuasion. Those who would
hasten the good time when the lion
shall lie down with the lamb must per-
ceive that Mr.. Beecher's deductions pre-
sent some of the evils that are to be rem
edied Harmony is as much needed in
religion as elsewhere.

A SECOND PEABODY.

Mr. John f. Slater, a wealthy capital
ist and manufacturer of Norwich, Con-
necticut, has announced his intention Of
creating fund of one million dollars,
to be known as "Ths John F. Slater
Fund" for the education Of freedmen.
The fund will be vested in a board of
trustees, among whom are ex- x-President
Hayes, Chief Justice Waite, Governor
Colquitt, of Georgia, James P. Boyce, of
Kentucky, and other well-known and re-
spopsible gentlemen, The motives ac-
tuatiug Mr. Slater to tins deed of iber-
ality are thus explained by himself
"The general object which desire to have
exclusively pursued Is the uplifting of the late
ly emancipated population Of the southern
states and their posterity Dy comforting on them
the blessings of a Christian education. The
disabilities formerly suffered by this people,
aud their singular patience and fidelity in the
great crisis Of the nation establish Just claim
on the sympathy and good will of humane and
patriotic men. Icannot but feel compassion

President Lincoln as the friend of a race
that has ever needed friends. If judi
ciously applied, as there is reason to be-
Heve 1t Will be, the Slater Fund will
prove a potent agency in the enhghten-

UPSON ON THE TARIFF

We have been waiting patiently to
hear from Congressman Epson, of the
sixth district Gu the tariff question.
Upson lives in section where sheep
browseon a thousand hills; where the
Sunday law is regarded as piece of pu-
ritanical demagogism; where the Ger
man voter is legion; where the bracing
air and pure water gives men very inde-
pendent ideas in short, a progressive
section. As a consequence we natural
Iy expected to find Upson taking clear
headed, conservative stand on the tariff.
The result did not disappoint the antici-
pations. Upson made speech Thurs
day, taking protection and free trade as
his themes. According to a Washing
ton special to the San Antonio Express:
He showed that no real issue can be made on
the tdriG question, ana that Incidental protvc-
tion is inevitable. He eassail0d the protection
lists and tree traders, showing their issue as
made to be false and forced, claiming that there
was no practical difference on the question
among democrats. lie favored a committee of
three senators, three representatives aud three
experts, as the speediest mode of revising and
reducing the tarlG.
/ This is middle ground and conserva-
/ tiye ground. Moreover, it is sensible
and safe ground and Upson should stick
to it. AS all republicans are not high
protectionists by any means, neither are
all democrats free-traders-in fact very
few Of them are. The wool-growers OF
the west will feel better after reading
/ Upson's speech. Citizens of Texas have
. over S200O0.0O0 invested in wooI-grow-
ing.
