Lay Preachers.
The Living Church comments in the
following pointed manner on species
of holy builioonery which. to our mind,
is utterly disgusting. We quite agree
with it in these structures: IAN ex-
change tells, it says. that ben Hogan,
the converted prize fighter, has written
a book which is very peculiar. II opens
with one of his sermons, which has this
queer beginning: 'Fellers, Ladies, and
Feller-Christians, come here tonight
TO tell you the truth, and you bet l am
going to give it to you 1t is very
strange that it does not occur to all de-
cent people that such exhibitions are
disgusting in themselves. and in no way
to the credit of any parties concerned,
or to any denomination that encourages
them. This case of Hogan is not an en-
ccptional one. If it were it would not
be worth speaking of; but it is we'll

such people no sooner get religion than

tells his experience 1t is the first
thing that he is put to after getting re-
ligon. AT once he begins to delight a
class of morbid rcligionists with u fine

to retire to private life. They are thrust
to the fore front. No Indian could be
more proud of his scalps than the pro-
feSsional revivalists is of his converted
gambler or prize-lghter. The man who
has never been a prize-fghter or gam
bier is as nothing in comparison. AS

During the disability of President
Garfield, from July 2 to Sept. 20, says
the New York Sun, whenever the un.
constitutional and dangerous character
Of cabinet government was pressed
by independent journals upon public at
t~ention, it was the usage of a certain
class Of Republican journals to burst
into solemn reservations that the Cabinet
officers were doing nothing but ~"routine
business" and that every debatable
matter was held in suspense to await the
Presidents ability to consider it. The
recent disclosures of Secretary Blaine's
exploits in "Jingo" diplomacy prove
how false were these replies in his in.
stance, and make the coult.y anxious
lest there may be additional astonishing
revelations yet to come touching the
conduct of members of the Cabinet dur.
ing that period. However that may be,
enough is known already to make it the
imperative duty of this Congress to legis-
late SO that by nopossibility shall the Elk.
ecutive Government Of the United
States in any contingency ever again be

SUCCESS.

The President Of the New York Ele-
waited Railway has made a report to the
shareholders Of the company which ex-
hibits almost incredible progress in the
enterprise, both to the business of the
rapid transit lines and as to the advance
of real estate values affected by them.
The Ninth avenue line was opened in
1872, and carried 1877, 446 passengers
during the nine months in which it was
operated that year. In 1877, when MIR.
Field purchased a controlling interest
and became President of the company,
BOIL, S62 passengers were carried. When
the Third avenue line was opened in
1879. business oil the New York Com
pany leaped up to 29,S75,9l2 passengers
for the twelve months. The Metropoli-
tan Company opened its Sixth avenue
line in June, 1878, and carried 4,374,997
passengers during the remainder of that
year. The magnitude attained by the
business Of the two companies may be
co~nspicuously shown by the following
statement for the last year:
New York, 1881 =. Al ,0s6, $40 passengers.
Metropolitan, 1881 "a, 49S, 929 passengers,
The whole number Of passengers car
ried by all the lines during the nine
years and nine months ending Septem-
Der 80, 1881, was 1879, 276, 966, the total
earnings for the same time being Sl4,-
$50, l39 46. OF these earnings no less
than s., 81, 075 IS, or more than one
third of the whole, was earned during
1881. Such a showing is a revelation OF
progress such as few corporations have
ever been able to effect in their business
within an equal time. And the pros
perity Of the elevated railways has en-
riched the city, as is shown in the fol-
lowing comparison of the assessed val
uation of real estate for 1874 and 1881:
Assessed value, 1874. -...... 1881 SAT ,995
Assessed value, 1881. ......... 976, 735, 1879
The comparison is all the fairer be-
cause the panic of 1873 did not affect
real estate values until after 1874. 1t is
shown that the gain of S95, lS7, 204 in
real estate valuation from 1874 to 1881
was nearly all in the wards through
which the elevated railways run, and the
greater part was in the years 1879, 1880
and 1881.

EXTRA

The New Jersey Senate has gone out
OF its way to pass a set Of resolutions in
which the condign punishment of Presi.
dent Garield's assassin is invoked and a
belief in his sanity declared. This was
an extraordinary step for the New Jersey
Senators to take, and such a deliberate
prejudgment by a legislative body of a
case which is still On trial is not to be
commended. 1t is not for the New
Jersey Senate but for the jury which has
heard the testimony to say whether the
murderer is sane or other wise.

Enieavoring to Avoid b Issue.
New YORK, Jan. 18.-The New York
Posts Richmond special says the Demo-
Gratis in the Virginia Legislature are en-
deavoring to avoid the issue made in the
Riddleberger bill, appropriating 500, 900
for the erection and maintenance OF q col
ored normal school. The Democratic
leaders in the State Senate have offered a
substitute, proposing the maintenance OF
normal schools for both races, in order to
make the Readjusters appear to vote
against the white schools. The R~eadjust-
ers have determined to give the amount
proposed in the Riddleberger bill to the
colored normal school, which will be the
only one of this kind in the State. The
bill will pass.

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS In CONGRESS-.

The Evening Telegram of a late date is
evidently little of, or else it may be that
a bill not suitable to this organs ideas Of
locality has been introduced to Congress.
1t editorially says:
s'Our Senators and Congressman keep on
introducing bills in way which shows that
they are very Industrious men.
eff there is man in the State who has a
little more ability to get measure through,
he would be a good man to elect next time
even if he did not introduce quite SO many
bills"
The above comments are inconsistent and
unjust, because they censure our Senators
and Representative in Congress in the first
place for introducing bills and in the second
place for not succeeding in their passage
We may be mistaken, however, for it may
be that the Telegram has selected for
those important positions men who are cap
able of getting measures through Congress
without ever going to the trouble of intro.
ducing them. This is great age for ad-
vancement. Wonders will never cease and
who knows but our evening contemporary
has made this valuable and important dis
covery.

An EDITORS FIGHT.

IL is reported that two sons of Mrs,
Duniway of the New Northwest, on the
22nd instant at Portland, undertook to
adjudicate difficulty between VIM. NJ
Simpson, editor of the Sunday Welcome
and their mother which was occasioned by
an alleged scurrillous and defamatory arti.
Gle published by the Welcome regarding
Mrs. Duniway. The affair resulted in Mr..
Simpson receiving a complete tanning by
the hands of these two aggressors.
We are not informed as to the merits or
dement's of the article referred to, neither
are we in favor of subverting the ordinary
legal manner of adjudications. But we
feel that the publication of defamatory
matter deserves severe punishment. Our
observation of the trial of such matters in
the courts lead us to believe it to be diff
cult matter to obtain redress for such causes
before the average Jurors of the country.
A remedy should exist, however, for this
class Of grievances, and we know of no
better way than for the press of the coun-
try to exercise an earnest straightforward
course with the view of educating the peo-
pie up to just and proper appreciation of
the true value of character and teach them
also that the tongue of the Slanderer must
not tarnish its brightness.
The fact that great portion of the peo-
pie seek more eagerly for the perusal of
publications containing matter derogatory
to the best interests of society than they
do for better class of journals. it is very evil
dent to all rejecting persons that great
portion of the public mind needs educating
upon this subject.
