INFIDELITN IN TIE WEST.

The growth and spread Of infdelity in this
county and especially in the West, within
the past quarter century, has been exceed
ing rapid Sd much 50, indeed, as 10 awaken
alarm, In some quarters, lest the power OF
religion, us the great social and moral factor
in the life of the people, should he materially
weakened thereby. Tie progress of infdcl-
ity has been especially remarkable in the
West, because it acaords much better
with the strong matcralisic tendencies
and adventurcsome spirit Of new civili7a-
ton than with the established principles and
conservative spirit Of an old civilization.
The press of the West has been, and still is,
to large extent, imbued with the intidelity
of the demagogues and so-callei reformers
who pretend to represent the advanced senli-
mcnt of an advanced age. The general tone
of the secular press and platform in the
West, to-day, is that of the broadest liberal
ism, if not of pronounced infldelity. 1t is
useless to deny the fact that the mass
of the people in the great industrial
and commercial centres of the West,
as well as upon the frontiers, are prejudiced
in favor of skeplicism. The voice OF the
press proves it the condition OF the churches
proves 1T and, above all, the daily life OF
the people proves it.
Among our exchanges, few days since,
we found copy OF the st Louis Spectator
a society and. political journal, somewhat af
ter the model of the New York Nation, and
remotely like that class of English journals
represented by the AthenGum, which Amer
can periodical literature has so far striven IN
vain to reproduce. The Spectator aims Il
be, and doubtless is, after its fashion, the
mouthpiece of the public sentiment of the
city of st Louis. One of its leading editor.
ials was upon "The Spread Of Infidcity.'

and Ireland. These two classes are the pro-
fessional agitators. who make fat liv'
ing out of the "skrmshing funds" and
the contributions of hardworking and mis-.
guided lrisl-Amcricans, and the Irish pa
triots, who are looking and working for an
Irish Republic, in which they expect to bc
Senators and secretaries and high officials.
These men do not want to sec Ireland paci-
fied-they want rerOlution, nothing else.
They are the men who meet concliaiory
overtures with assassinations and keep up the
excitement with dynamite explosions. 1t is
not at all surprising under the circumstances
that Mr.. Gladstonc's course OF amcliatory
legislation for Ireland, should have suffered
a rude check. The English government can
not overlook its duty to protect life aud prop
crty and to maintain order When these arc
reasonably secure, throughout the realm,
there will be a chance for philanthropy and
liberal craftsmanship to resume their sway
in the treatment of the Irish question, ant
| rot till then.

TIE IRISH PROBLEM.

In summing up the facts and figures
which show the inadequacy of the Irish land
act to meet the demands Of the situation in
Ireland, we have by no means intended to
imply that the fault is all on one side and
that the side Of the British government. We
do Mr.. Gladstone the justice of believing
that he endeavorcd to meet the Irish ques.
ton in liberal and satesman-lke manner (;
and that he sincerely desires to remove all
just causes OF complaint on the part Of the
Irish people. lie would have gone farther
no doubt, in the way of concession,
had his advances been received in a
different spirit. Mr.. Gladstone has
to consider the state Of feeling
in England, as well as in Ireland and
he can 60 no further than he can carry
Parliament and the people with him. 1t
must be admitted that the dagger and dyna-
mite have not furnished an altogether cordial
response on the part of the Irish people, to
the measures of partial justice thus far taken
by the government. One great trouble with
the Irish business, is that there are two inilu.
entail classes of Irishmen, who do not want
the land and rent and tenant questions adjust
ed on airy basis which shall restore peace and
establish friendly relations between England
