BEEcHER AND TIE CONGREGATIONAL.


1t is difficult to see why Henry Ward
Beecher should have thought it necessary
to separate himself from the Congrega,
tional Union, for notwithstanding the
heterodoxy of some OF his views it is evi.
dent that he possesses fund of credulity
sufficient for all the demands likely to be
made upon it, and it is therefore hard to
understand why he should have made his
peculiarities matter Of conscience. His
explanation really does not explain his at
titude 80 much as his character. He shows
himself to be man whose emotions dom;.
nate his intellect. He does not reason
about his religious beliefs, but he feels.
One consequence of this is that there is no
consistency in his conceptions. He rejects
some dogmas on grounds which, if he
really held to them logically, would compel
the abandonment of other dogmas which
acceptance and his rejection are alike
Illogical and inconsistent, but that does not
trouble him. His religion is purely senti-
mental, and therefore he can make his
creed as elastic and changeable as he
pleases without finding it necessary to call
himself to account. 1t is no doubt an
easy and agreeable way of treating such
questions, but he who teaches religion
from Mr.. Bsecher's standpoint will be very
mt ia surrOund himself with an bereticaI
congregation.

He HAS AN OFFICIAL RECORD.

The San Francisco Chronicle says eli
"John T. Doyle had been member of the
"present Board of Railroad Commissioners
"he would have succeeded in doing the
people some service, even if he had men
"ike Bserstecher and Cone opposed to
him" Unfortunately for assertions Of
that sort, Mr.. Doyle has a record as Rail.
road Commissioner which gives the lie to
any hypothesis of the kind. He was a
member of the Board of Railroad Commits.
sioners Ito which, by the way, he was ap.
pointed by Governor Irwin, whom the
Chronicle calls Railroad Governor), and
he had General StoReman for a colleague.
Thus there were in the same office two
men who are at present. held up as Anti.
Railroad champions of the first quality.
Now it is of record that neither John I.
Doyle nor General SLOVENIAN did, as Rail.
road Commissioners, any "service for the
"people" from the Chronicles point OF
view. What they did really was in the
line of public service, for they pointed
out in their report that the railroads of the
State were well and honestly conducted
they defended the corporations against the
attacks of demagogues they demonstrated
the folly and impracticability OF the "cost
"of service" doctrine they showed that
freights and fares were reasonable in Cali.
fornis and they justified the contract sys,
TEN, by implication at least. 1t
will therefore not do for the Chronicle
to draw upon its imagination for picture
OF what MIR. John 7. Doyle would, could,
might or should have done, had he been a
membeH OF the present Commission. We
know just what he would have done. He
would have pursued the course which be
adopted when he was a member of the
Commission. He would have defended
the railroads instead of attacking them.
He would have written reports explaining
the futility and folly Of the "eost OF serv-
ice" principle. This is what Mr.. Doyle
does when he is Railroad Commissioner,
and every one has perfect right to con-
clude that if he was member now, or il
he should be member hereafter, ne would
take up his original policy where he
dropped it. Mr.. Doyle ia not an unknown
man. He has been in the very office he is
seeking now. He has been tested. He
had not majority against him. He could
have done Whatever he liked. But Mr..
Doyle is very cautious, conservative,
reasonable man, as soon as he finds himself
in Office, as his record shows. And be,
sides, was he not appointed by Governor
Irwin, that Railroad Governor

alleged that every man on board the Chal.
lenger has been abused more or less by
these brutes, and in short they have re-
peated the atrocities which have SO often
been exposed in the case of vessels enter.
ing San Francisco. We earnestly hope
that Mountfort and Conway will both be
convicted and given long terms in the
penitentiary. 1t is pity that they cannot
also be fogged, for we are convinced that
with such cowardly tyrants the most
effective punishment is that which intlicts
severe bodily suffering But these cases,
which appear to become more frequent
every year, show that the American meI.
chant marine is deteriorating in all ways,
and that in a short time it will be
found impossible to induce a real sea-
man to sign articles for voyages in
such vessels. The masters and mates
employed-and apparently by preference
are the scum of the earth blsckguards
and ruffians who have learned TO take
positive pleasure in the irfiiction of
cruelty, and who use the men under them
worse than any brutal slave.owner OF the
Legree type ever used slaves in the worst
days OF slavery. 1t is really a wonder
that there are so few mutinies and
assassinations of masters and mates at
sea, considering the intolerable aggravations
of the men, and their endurance under
such treatment proves that they are far
superior to their officers. The responsible
ity of ship.owners in this connection,
moreover, is greater than might be sup
posed. As rule they know thoroughly
well what manner of men their captains
and mates are, and too frequently they
employ the ruffians whose atrocities we so
often hear of, with deliberate view TO
the expediting of the voyage and the
practicing of economy, by these means.
Cases have been known in which owners
have actually instructed captains to SO use
their crews that they would desert at the
port of discharge. It is true that when
crews like this of the Challenger are
brought into the Courts, the owners are
made to suffer financially but it would be
well if they were held to mere strict ac-
countability for the treatment of the
crews that sail their ships.

ANOTHER OCEAN HORROR.

In the ship Challenger, just arrived at
Seattle from Philadelphia, has been found
rival of the Sunrise. The Captain and
first mate are in Jail on charges Of beating.
wounding and cruelty maltreating the
third mate. It appears that the ship was
one of those floating hells into which the
few remaining American ocean vessels
have degenersted. The crew were Ger
mans and S:andinavians, and the Captain
and first mate were abusing them al the
time. The third mate was opposed to
these outrages, and because he protested
against them his rufhanly superior officers
disratsd him, imprisoned him in confined
space in irons, starved ard beat him until
in his despair he tried TO kill himself COM
PEELED the crew to kick and strike him az
short intervals, and wound up by trying to
have him arrested on charge OF insanity
on the arrival of the vessel. Mountfort is
the name of this scoundrel Captain, and
Conway that Of his scoundrel mate. Il is
