The Republicans, in accordance with

minishing the protection-in other words,
without diminishing the taxation. The
democrats, On the other hand, insist upon
the application of the old democratic doct-

shall be for revenue, and that the large
amount of revenue repaired will afford
Incidentally all the protection needed or

communism. The constitution denies the

be the result of the struggle in the present

oLDFATH1oNEp WORSHIP.

1t arouses a curious feeling to read in
these free and easy days that the Marin
Free presbyterYs has Just solemnIy de
nounced the Introduction of organs into
churches on the ground that they are un-
scriptural as well as sinful. 1t is unneces-
sary to remark, probably, that the Marin
Free presbytery is located north of. the
Tweed. 1t must be taken for granted that
its congregation lead upright lives and are
in every way worthy people. The fact
that they consider organs sinful is due
doubtless to the use so often made of the
instruments by organists who have fancy
for injecting, operate selections among
their symphonies, and embellishing their
preludes with musical gymnastics too fris-
ky to comport with the dignity of the
Scottish Presbyterians. But the use of
the term .'unscripturaP' can only be ex-
planned on the ground that the congrega-
ton are opposed to the introduction of
any element in service which bears the
mark of modern invention Most of the
musical Instruments known to the ancients
are mentioned in scripture with more or
less favor, and that the~@organs is not so
mentioned is doubtless due alone ta the
fact that it was not in existence in Bible
times. And the Scotch elders seem to be-
very backward in arriving al that point of
enlightenment which would enable them to
comprehend that an organ is not in itself
intrinsically sinful. but only so to those
who SO esteem it. 1t is hard TO say Just
how much temptation one can stand, bun
the Marin presbytery evidently has "a
overweeuing distrust of its own powers of
resistance.

Ma king spartans Of the Girls.

Would you like to our Spartan girls?'
an Astoria German said to reporter.
The reporter replied that he would. Th'
gate leading to the Tura Verein bnildins
in Astoria was closed, and the reporter
WAS led through beer saloon and back
yard to the side entrance of the building
On entering he saw capacious hal
furnished with a variety of gymnastic APP
pratus. The American and German flags
adorned the walls. Fourteen girls, from s
to IA years old, were assembled in the hall
They wore a uniform consisting of navy
blue shirt. and a skirt of the same stuff,
reaching to the knees, blue drawers, red
stockings, white linen slippers and a belt.
They were in merry mood. Some were
swiftly sliding over the smooth floor like
sylphs, others were jumping like kids, and
some were swinging and climbing among
the ropes like troop of monkeys. All
screamed and laughed ia chorus.
They are amusing themselves till the
teacher comes, said the German.
Soon the teacher appeared, dressed in
his gk mnastic suit. At his command the
girls arranged themselves in line A reg
ular drill followed The girls marched in
pairs, in tours, and in Indian file. Then
they ran, jumped over string, climbed up
high ladder SWING on parallel bars, and
sticks which served as guns.
These are our Spartan girls" said the
German admiringly. "Ihope they will
be worthy of their ancient prototypes.
The Spartan women, you know, used to
hand the shields to their sons about to go
to battle. with the words; Either with this
or On this. Do you think they weuld
have been so brave il they had not taken
like this? Our grandmothers used to APP
pear on the battle field to encourage their
huskands-and sons fighting against the
sRoman slegioAs. Do you suppose they
would not have hidden themselves in the
forest at the first sign Of the Romans ap-
proach if they had not strengthened their
nerves by exercise? / don't think that
hereafter women will ever have to appear
on the battlefield; yet there are thousand
occasions when firm hand and a brave
heart may be of much use to them, for
daily we hear of disasters at sea and on
land. Life is great bliss and a heavy
burden, and we believe that only those
well trained. both mentally and physically
can bear the burden and fully enjoy the
bliss. So we make Spartans of our. girls. T"

James Gordon Bennett has a princely
income and spends it extravagantly, but
there seldom come an appeal from dis
tressed humanity that he does not hearand
respond to with generosity. He gave
more to relieve the distress in Ireland than
was given by any other individual, and his
name usually appears besides the largest
contribution when call for help comes
from the masses. His gift of $1,000 to the
aid CT the sufferers from the Ohio floods is
the largest yet noted.

weuld say. A minister cannot be toocare-
full about hired girls. And now that the
explanation of the good man is so clear,
and his kind heart is slaewn to such good
man is so clear. and bis kind heart is
shown 60 such good advantage, instead of
giving him areception, there are lots of
worldly wretches who will not believe il.
They do not know by experience the fell
ings of truly. good man, who would suf-
fer il he knew his hired girl was not warm
Seine men are so heartless that they never
give a thought to whether the hired girl
has got clothes enough on her bed on a
cold night, and girls might freeze for all
they care, Such men would say that if a
girl had not got sense enough TO put cloth
es on her bed to keep warm, it was DO
the place of man of the house to go
proving around the bedrooms at midnight,
throwing overcoats. hoopskirts. corsets an
petticoats on the bed to bank them up.
We have heard of hired girls that would
have knocked the sermon completely out
of that truly good man, and stood him on
his head out in the hall. and poured dirty
water down his trouseas legs, then there
are others who would have him piling clio
thes on them till it was time to get up and
build fire to get breakfast. On general
principles it is safe course of conduct for
the average minister, as well as the aver
age worldly man, to not yearn to and out
whether hired girls have bed clothes
enough on their beds. Charity covereth
a multitude of hired girls" or words to the
effect, but the ordinary run of wicked and
perverse citizens are liable to think that
the minister has sinister motives when he
goes at midnight to their apartments and
leaves his coat, and life of pious endea
vor cannot get it out of their minds As
the Psalmist says, " 1t is better that a
hired girls have cold feet, than
one minister shall get into the wrong pew.

FARO.
A Philadelphia Gambler S6O,OO Ahead
of the Game.

| PHILADELPHIA Pa, Feb. 26.-The
| most engrossing topic in sporting circles
in this city at present is the very large
| winnings that Philadelphia gambler,
| named ''Dink" Davis is said to have made
betting against faro in New York during
the last month. Davis winnings are
placed all the way from $45, O00to $50 900,
| and it is said that large percentage of the
total was won at day game in Barclay
street. Davis has been known as faro
dealer in this city for years, and he has the
reputation of being one of the cleverest in
the country. His immense success has
created genuine sensation in sporting cir
Giles. The manager of a SAMSON street
gambling house, who knows all about it,
when asked for the truth of the stories
which are the. talk of the clubs where the
gamblers congregate, said:
1T is true that Davis has won nearly all
the money they give him credit for. They
didn't put the figure higher than $45. 900
when was over in New York, though
some were disposed 10 think that his pot
was nearer 100000"
Isn't that the worst beating the faro
bank has had for some timer
There has been nothing like it for ten
years at least, when you consider that
Davis had small money to start in with

confine his play TO any one house, but
played around generally. In that way
