INTOLERANCE.

Sectarian bigotry has no business to thrust
its irreligious bitterness into secular politics,
but this is just what narrow Republican sec
tartan spite is attempting to do. Here is
what the New York Star, Democratic jour
nal, says:
Some weeks ago we took opportunity of repre-
hending display of Republican ribaldry con-
joined with irregious bigotry made by some OF
the ''unco guild i'll the west-an alleged Chris
tian journalist and protesting minister of the
gospel The Interpretation of their text ex-
pressed and implied was, mo Roman Catholic
for President and the object of the attack was
General Sherman, because he had married Gro
manist. and would consequence be under
the influence of that persuasion. Our protest
was copied far and wide and yesterday we were
pleased to see as the first page cartoon of the
GraDhic pictorial denuncation of the sectaran
idea more eloquent than could be any condemna-
ton in words.
Gen. Sherman is a Republican, and if
nominated by his party for the presidency he
will be opposed by the Democracy far other
wise than on religious grounds. The time
has not yet come, and it is to be hoped never
will come, when a man will be politically per-
secuted for his religion. Suppose the cry
should be raised in regard to the presidency
that ''no Methodist need apply" or
s'no Presbyterian need apply" and
so through the whole range of religious sects,
VIC should have u strong and fatal admixture

Inc TACT that this was light mail goes for
nothing, for three times the mail
could have been handled in the same
Tune If there had been any necessity
1or doing so. Perhaps the absurdity of
making the ''fast mair' slow in Chicago
needs no better illustration than the fact
that after running special train for 1000
miles, one wagon makes two trips from
depot to depot, when occasion requires, in
stead of mourning the expense of two
wagons.

Risn,nrck,s Reliaion.

In contrast with Goethe, the Chancellor
has seldom uttered any confessions of reli-
gious faith at variance with other utterances
of his on the same subject and any thoughts
on divine things directly opposed to former
ly pronounced views. Nevertheless, he
passed through rationalistic period-then
an unbelieving time, time, at least, in
which religion was no felt want-then a
period in which, as he decidedly affirmed, he
took up a Christian and confessional stand
point. Lastly he has arrived at time in
which he. may simply be defined as a deeply
religious man who believes firmly in God, in
divine dispensation and in personal con-
tinuance after DEATH who derives his sense
of duty from his faith, but lays little stress
on dogma, will hear nothing of intolerance,
and has no strong desire for priestly edifica-
ton. His mother was sensible, enlight-
ened woman; his father genial man, with
out any propensities toward the supernatur-
al; no religious influences were brought to
bear upon him, either at school or at the
University. For all this, time came when
he was filled with disgust for the riotous days
of his student life.-Dr. Aoritz Busch.

to confront its cares and its trials. Take my
advice with you. In early manhood and in
early womanhood, in middle age and in old
age, you win never forget the fond memo
ries which will cluster about these halls, for
bere friendships have been formed
which will last through life. One step more,
and you throw off the garments of girlhood
and boyhood, and emerge into the sunlight
of womanhood and manhQpd. Armed with
business education, you are prepared to
battle with the world. and in the conflicts
which must follow, you will often recur to the
good times you have had here; to
the dear friends you leave
behind; to the tall, angular, grey-headed
preceptor, now bent with years; to other
fond teachers you will never forget; to the
bald-headed speaker, long since gone to rest;
to your loving associates in these interesting
exercises; to the kind friends who have ad-
dressed you from this platform, to the good
college times which will never return and
am afraid, some hearts will flutter as in i'm
agination they hear the rustic of dress, or
see the twinkle of an eye. Ny task is done.
Farewell, farewell is a lonely sound,
And always brings sigh,
But give to me that better word,
Which comes from the heart-good-byer
PRESENTING DIPLOMAS.
Following this address Major Newson pre-
sented the diplomas to each of the fourteen
graduates in turn, and his witty sallies inter
mixed with earnest words of advice kept the
audience in the greatest of good humor.
The present is the nineteenth year of the
st. Paul Business college and its graduates
last evening were as follows:
Miss Kate Williams, j Mckenzie,
MissKate Taubman, VIM McRae,
Miss VI Grimes, G.. F Falk,
Miss M Malone, L Lonergan,
Moore, Robt \ Snyder,
P Hevener, Hugh Evans,
Reardon, Chas Z Signs,
c F Andrews.
The poetical "Prophecy'' of Miss Minnie
Malone, which followed the presentation of
the diplomas, was great hit, and was brim-
full of bright and sparkling witticisms, which
was followed with some very earnest and
truthful parting words to the graduates by
Prof. G. B. Bower, and charming vocal
solo by Miss c. Caughlin.
