The Republican party of Benton county,
in convention assembled ON this Sth day
of April, 1882, hereby make the following
declaration of principles
]. That the laws regulating the assessment
and collection of taxes should be so anende
that all classes of property shall bear an
equ i proportion of the public burden; an.
that all sums evidenced by note and Eecur

real estate is situated.

grets and strongly deprecates the action of
President Arthur III vetoing the bill for re
stricting Chinese Immigration lately passed
by both Houses of Congress, and asserts the
right of the American nation to prevent
the incprsion of hordes of Asiatics, whose
cheap labor may improperly depress the
wages earned by American citizens in many
departments of life.
3. That inasmuch as the people are the
primary source of power under our Repub-
lican government, aud as consequently al
corporations derive their existence and ex
ercise all functions by virtue of rights gran

bent on the Legislature of each State so t.

noting Christianity among the Jews have an
unusually large amount of work among Jewish
emigrants, and sorely require help both as to
means and men speaking Russian. AT this
crisis the aid afforded by the medical depart
ment and hospital is invaluable. The schools
are crowded with Jewish children, and many
more desire admittance who cannot well be
taken for want of space and means. The
Hebrew and other services at Christ Church are
largely attended by inquiring Jews Last
Sunday morning every available seat was &C.
cupied. The camp at the Sanatorium has be-
come much larger, and special efforts are being
made to arouse an interest concerning Chris
tianity among the Jewish field laborers there
employed, by means of meetings held on Satur-
day evenings, and largely attended, at which
suitable addresses are delivered by the mission
agents and others. The society's agents and
the members of the congregation are doing their
utmost to relieve the general distress as well as
to win souls; but what they are able to do is
little compared with the necessities of the case.

The NAIL STRUcK.-A correspondent
of the Sunday School Times says: SIN
the discussions concerning the Salvation
Army, now going on in England, keen
observer has made this telling point =
He went one day to meeting of the
Army, and witnessed the gay uniforms
and military tactics, and heard the odd
titles of 'Hallelujah Captain, Hosanna
Major and what not. Next day he
went to a Ritualistic church, and marked
the brilliant vestments, the nameless par
aphernalia of alb and cope and stole, saw
the genuAections and prcstrations, wit
messed the professionals and recessionals,
and observed the titles of the participants
deans, canons, rectors, &c.-and church
man as he was, he was bold enough to ask
in the public print, What is the differ
ence? One army is modern, the other
ancient; the one has the sanction of an
tiquity for its titles and tactics, the other
is novel and without sanction: But in
themselves do they differ any more wide
ly than the dress and manners of peas
ant differ from those of a gentleman?
And considering the classes to be reached,
is one any more to be condemned than
the other?' 1t is well that we should all
strip the DISCUSSES from our religious OBJ
servances and look at them per Sc.

COMMENTING on an extract from a,
editorial in this paper entitled g Three
Views, in which the subject discussed
was "The Pastors Salary" the Religious
Herald says:
To this We beg to add few suggestions
To refined and sensitive pastor, the salary ia
delicate topic. 1t is true, he needs his money
and his credit and comfort depend upon having
1t. 1t is a matter to which he cannot give very
prominent attention. If he lends his influence
very actively to the work of raising the salary.
1t subjects him to the unfriendly criticism of the
miserly and the mean. He may put out his
strength in raising money for other purposes
for missions, or church repairs or the poor-but
he does not feel quite free In urging upon his
church the payment of money which belongs to
him. 1t Is very easy for his members to say
that he ought to do so; but it is not the bes.
thing to be done.
The very best talent of the church ought to
be employed in the management of It's financial
department. We do not say that it is the most
important phase of church life but it is i'm.
possible for church to enjoy permanent spirit
ual prosperity whose finances are loosely and
carelessly managed A pastor ought never TO
be put at the serious disadvantage of holding an
unsettled claim against his people. 1t depresses
him and irritates them. 1t is the solemn duty
OF church to relieve itself and the pastor of
any such incubus, so that they may work to-
gether IN bright and joyous harmony. For this
reason, the pastors salary ought to rank every
other obligation of the church 1t ought to
stand first and be paid first"

Cat the sunset of lfe) would have been
turned to this very question. But he
says that he was Every busy"-had mat
tiers engaging him which he deemed of
more Importance. Philosophy this may
be-but it is not what we characterize in
America under the homely phrase of
"horse-sense."
One thing this profound student of
science had settled; he "did not believe
that any revelation has ever been made. "
He rejected the Bible; did not believe
in the claims of Jesus Christ; did believe,
upon certain very questionable analogies
and the intimations of very imperfect
geological record, that he was descended
from some pithecoid brute, but did not
believe that the evidence in our posses
sion established the fact that Jesus Christ
and the Apostles did what they are rep
resented to have done in Galilee, Jud@a,
Asia Minor, Corinth, Rome, and other
parts of the world eighteen hundred
years ago. The fact is, he probably had
not chad time" to investigate very thor
oughly into these matters. He was al
ways "busy" man. Moral and reli-
gious questions he left to people like
Luther and Calvin, Bishop Butler, Leib-
nitz, Newton and Faraday.
1t is a question, however uninteresting.
which he had to take up; has probably
formed an opinion about now which it is
best to dispose of while yet in the flesh for
no man, whatever his tastes, has the right
to ignore his moral relations in this world
and to do so is simply to place himself
on level with the brutes whom he claims
to have passed, at least, in the scale of
being.
But this all aside: our point is this
We do most sincerely recognise the splen-
did abilities and the splendid services
rendered to natural science by Mr.. Oar
win but we call attention to him as an
illustration that while man may achieve
great success on any particular line he
may select and pursue as specially, he
may be very weak and talk very fool
ishly on subjects which he has not
studied. He may be great physician,
and know nothing of law; or good en-
gineer and know nothing of Kant. Only
we think Mr.. Darwin made mistake in
permitting himself to grow SO busy" in
the study of monkeys that he excused
himself for neglecting entirely all reli-
gious studies.

THERE is broad distinction between
the old-fashioned dances OF our ancestors
the dances that prevailed in Virginia
within our own recollection-and the
modern dance. There may be no more
harm in a company of young people meet
ting together and dancing a quadrille
than there is in a game of calisthenics.
1t is when the dance becomes ina7nodest
that the objection palpably arises. Will
any candid person, dancer or no, deny
that the present dances are immodest ?
and that they undermine and weaken the
sense of modesty in our females? This
is very grave matter; it is not some
thing for the objurgations merely of the
pulpit; if there were no pulpit, or if the
pulpit were silent,-if it were Pagan
Greece that surrounded us-the moralist
would still enter loud protestagainst the
tainted exhalations which poison the at
mosphere of our society from the modern
ballroom. Right therein the sweet
purity of the maiden breast that knows
no guile-rests the security of society.
Touch this at its source, and all the grace
and charm is gone from human life. We
find the following authoritative testi-
mony on this subject in one of our ex-
changes:
"Ten or fifteen years ago" the Phila-
delphia Press quotes dancing master as
saying; the waltz was not quite so OBJ
iectionable as at present. Dancers of
to-day come in altogether too close con-
tact. In the old time a gentleman mere
ly touched lady's waist, at the same
time holding her right hand in his left.
Now he throws his arm clean around her
form, pulls her closely to him, as though
fearful of losing her, brings his face into
actual contact with her soft cheek, and
in word, hugs her. Such action is al
together too familiar, but still custom
and society sanction it, and instead of
improvement for the better we see, year
after year. a marked advance in the i'm
proprieties of the dance. In the old
days the waltz was comparatively mod
est; now it is just the reverse, and the
waltz is calculated to do more injury to
the young than many of the vices preach
ed against from the pulpit, and deeply
deplored in private life"

Mr.. SURGEON great success is large.
ly due to his faculty of organisation and
making his people work. He is said to
have elders who are charged with the
oversight of the great flock to which he
ministers. He seems ready, also, to make
a further advance in the right direction,
for we notice that Every lately, when as
sisting in the settlement of young pas
tor, he took occasion to deplore the des-
olating work done by our system of indie
pendent churches, and seemed to sigh for
the conservatism of Presbytery or Meth
odist presiding eldership."

MATTHEW ARNOLD borrowed his
phrase, Sweetness and Light" from
Swift. The passage occurs in the famous
apologize Of the Bee and the Spider, in
