The Two Parties in Belgium

The Liberal Party is composed of all
who, having faith in human reason and
in liberty, fear return to the past, and
desire reforms of all sorts. They call
themselves Conservatives because they
consider it their first duty to defend the
Belgian constitution, which they look upon
as menaced by Rome and the Catholics.
In this party, as in all others, there are
many shades of opinion, from the 1" ex-
IRENE left, who desire universal sui
frage combined with Socialism, and who
wage endless war against Catholic wor-
ship, to the right" who continue faith
full to the faith Of their forefathers," re-
Jecting all radical innovations, and who
are only separated from their adversaries
by their insistance on the exclusion OF
the clergy from politics The Catholic
party is guided officially by the Bishops.
1t is composed, in the first place, of all
the clergy, of the converts and monas-
teries, and of those who from a sentiment
OF religious obedience do as they are d.
rected by the Bishop of the diocese and
the Pope, and also Of genuine Conserva-
tives, otherwise called reactionists-that
Is to say, of those who consider that
liberty leads to anarchy, and progress to
Communism. This section comprises the
great mass Of the proprietors and cult
vators of the soil, and the country popu-
lations. Foreigners, who cannot fail to
be struck by the similitude existing in so
many respects between Belgium and
France, must not ignore most impor-
tant difference between the dominant
ideas Of the rural population Of the two
nations, although civil administration is
the same in each. In France, with the
exception of some few departments, the
peasant has not only broken loose from
the priests influence, he is even most
hostile to it. In Belgium, on the con-
trary, he submits willingly to it, as in
the Rhine Provinces, the Tyrol, and
even to a greater degree
than in those lands hitherto considered
as the Church's chosen countries. Italv
and Spain. The reason for the difference
is this: In France the memory of the
anclen regime, hard and cruel as it was
in its financial administration. is de.
tested and the peasants, purchasers, and
of the soil have always
dreaded return of the clergy and
nobility. In Belgium, on the contrary.
The peasant was very happy under Maria
and never purchased the biens
and, as a result of this, he
continues till now to obey INCREASINGLY
his priest and his landlord, never having
had his faith or confidence in them
shaken. The strife between Catholics
and Liberals commenced at the end of
.he last century. At the time Of the
Brabant revolution against Joseph II. a
certain set accepted the notions Of the
French philosophers, headed by bar

John Dunn and Bishop Colengo

King John Dunn has written piteous
letter from Zululand crying out against
the unkind things said of him by Bisbop
Colenso. He admits that he is polvpa-
mist, but argues in his defence that polyg-
amy is sanctioned by the PentateucI
which he thinks Bishop Colenso regards
as authoritative. alphabetically protests
that 1t IS unfair to pursue him with oblo-
guy, since he lives where polygamy uni
versally obtains, and is thus placed be-
yond the pale Of society. The najUcte Of
the letter is beautiful to notice. A man
who quotes the Pentateuch to convince
Bishop Colenso, and speaks Of himself as
beyond the pale Of society, is to say the
least, a curiosity.

Board of Publication. 1882. Price $i.75.
The author of this book says that during
ministry of twenty FIVE years he often expert
enced the need Of answers to questions which
constantly arise in church work. He often
found that Elders and Deacons, when called TO
their responsible Offices, were perplexed as to
their duties and that candidates were FREQUENT.
ly ordained who were unprepared to rule and
take care of the Church Of God" To meet
these needs he has prepared this volume. He
has consulted almost every source from which
information could be derived. He propounds
questions on all subjects of Church Politv, and
gives the answer from the sacred Scriptures
from the Confession Of Faith and Catechism.
from the Acts OF the General Assembly: and the
usages Of the Church. 1t is not a mere "As-
sembly's Digest, but has much wider scope.
1t contains not only an outline Of the princi-
pal features of the Presbyterian Church, but
also statement Of the peculiarties of other
churches in the words Of their own standards.
No book Of this kind can be altogether com.
Plete or satisfactory to ALL but the author has
succeeded in preparing volume which every
church officer will find valuable, and which is
calculated to make us more loyal and efficient
as Presbyterians, and also more sympathetic
with the whole body Of Christ"

Doctors Fees in Europe.

medical practitioners, often-nay, gen.

charge for the poorer. It is also a salts
faction to the public mind generally to
know exactly what they will have to paw

further to draw attention to point Of
medical etiquette in North Germany.

daily attendance is absolutely necessary.

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX .ELEC.
TION.

Silver City is to have another
Special School Tax election. 1t has
become necessary to call fer an ex-
ira levy in order to provide funds
for continueing the school. The lit
tie town has always cheerfully sup
ported the school, and when a vote
on the question of school levy was
necessary the proportion has usually
been about three to one in favor of
education. Times are not very good
just now, but it is safe to predict that
the tax will be voted. The school of
that district ii in excellent condition
and the public spirited citizens will
not permit the present standard to
be lowered for want of the fifty cent
tax which is now called for. No one
can consistently oppose the tax ex-
cept from enmity to the public school
system. The management has been
careful and economical, and the
special call is made necessary be-
cause the law prevents the County
Commissioners leyying more than
fifty cents for school purposes at the
general levy.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1882-03-11

Tue next Legislature should
take steps toward changing the law
limiting the school levy to fifty cents
on the hundred dollars. The County
Commissioners of the several count
les can be trusted in that matter as
we'll as in others, and were they per-
united to levy as much per hundred
dollars as in their judgment, after
consulting the trustees of the differ
ent districts would be required to
keep the schools running, a large
amount of useless expense would be
avoided each year.

THE NAME OF MANA.
A Pen.POrtrait of the Sitting Bull
Of the Southwest.

Mana is not hereditarily a chief
but has probably more influence with
the Mescaleres, tribe of Apaches-
so called from their fondness for
mezcal, the American aloe--than any
other man. He really tried to be
good once | believe-that is as good
as an Apache can ever hope to be
but with all his influence, that of the
bucks under him was stronger, and
he had to ooey their behests, or lose
his power. Like all his nation, Mana
is short of statdre, wears short hair,
has full red face, eyes that dart
tiendish light whenever he looks at
you, a slight body, thin arms and
well developed calves, the latter pc
culilarly coming from the habit of
running early incalculated among
all these Indians. l saw him first at
Fort Grant, post at the junction of
the San Pedro and Arivipa rivers in
Arizona, in 1862, and l should judge
him to have been thirty-two years
old at that time. He and his Mes
caIerss, with lot of Tontos-Span-
ish for foOls-auOther tribe of
Apaches, came to the Fort and
camped, saying they wanted to be
helped and taught to farm. There
must have been two hundred of
them in all, and my men dug ditch
to irrigate land for them, but they
only stayed little while. TO some
further questions relative to the
Apaches the major replied that in
1865 they were not on reservations
and were armed for the most part
with bows and arrows, which are not
effective at greater distance than
thirty yards, but since lnen they
have secured the best kind of Win
chester or other magazine guns, and
seeem to have no trouble in procur-
ing cartridges in any quantto. They
are pupy race, filthy as the diggers
IN habits and appearance, and wear
shirt and belt and moceasins made
of antelope or coyote hides and are
utterly destitute of finery of any de-
scription. They will eat, steal or
kill anything possible and don't
know the meaning of the word faith,
The Navajoes, some of whom are
said to have joined the Mescaleros,
are just the reverse of the Apaches
so far as physique and appearance
is cocerned and are tall, well-formed
muscular and handsome.
