And, be it observed, that with this
system there will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-
ton. Every little group will be inde-
pendent and self-regulating, and will
have the benefit of connection through
its first member or founder with a group
older than itself, and will thus be kept
informed of the general movement OF
thought and the progress of the party
elsewhere. ....i
But the chief beauty of the plan is
that course of education has been
mapped out and excellent text books
provided. and that these are placed in
the hands of the various groups, who
forming themselves thus into classes are
enabled, in an extremely short time, to
perfectly familiarize themselves with the
fundamental principles of true social sci
.ence. ~

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS is. we believe,
about 65 years of age, in view of
which fact his incessant and arduous
labors throughout the campaign
just closed are something wonderful.
To him success is as justly due as to
any other man, to say the least. He
made grave mistake in refusing to
run again with Tilden in 1880, but
for which both would, no doubt have
been elected. But it must be admit
ted he has made the best atonement
in his power.

John KellY,s Work In NaH York.

From the county returns in New
York comes sure confirmation of
John Kelly's deliberate and systema-
tic treachery to the party to which he
nominally gave his pledge of support.
In the city of New York the figures
show large democratic gains in strong
republican districts, and correspond
ingly large defections in those
districts where the influence of
Tammany hall was greatest. In the
state the only counties showing
important gains for Mr.. Blaine over
the vote for Garfield in 1880 are
Albany, Monroe, Queens, and Che
mung. In 1879, when John Kelly
ran as the Tsmmany hall candidate
to beat Lucius Robinson, his vote
outside of New York city and Brook
Ign was insignificant except in the
first three of these counties. In
Albany county his vote was 1895,
and now it shows an increase in
Blaine's plurality over Garhelds Of
2.420; in Monroe Kelly's vote was
2,0SS,and it shows an increase in
Blaines plurality Of l,716; in Queens
Kelly's vote was 1,56S,and it shows q
decrease in Clevsland's plurality
from Hancock's Of 333, and in Che
mung Kellys vote was 4s4, and it
shows a change from 10 plurality
for Hancock 10 $40 for Blaine.
These figures are more significant
than anything in the vote in New
York city, where every means posi-
bic VS. taken 10 conceal Kelly's
treAchesy- In 1879 Kelly demon
strated his power By electing Cornell.

but in 1884 the great conscience vote

tends presidential campaign in the
way OF unsottling business was new
er more apparent than in the late
election. The American public seems
peculiarly susceptible to sensations
The bitter contest just ended hai
been waged npon the assumption that
a change of administration might
bring upon our devoted heads all the
evils possible TO government The
effect has been 10 smother enterprise
unsettle values, and to make the peo'
pie close'fsted. The probability il
that things would in any event move
along about as usual, but the public
has been alarmed by the loud asser'
tons Of danger made by tho politi'
clans. The desire for longer term
for the Presidency, and shorter cam
paigns, expressed by business men
will be urged before Congress with a
view to making Presidential elections
at least SIX years apart. This will re-
quire a constitutional amendment,
but it may be effected before another
general election.
One feature of the late election,
which will receive comment, is the
universally Of betting. In England
the great Derby race gives all classes
an opportunity to risk little money
once a year, on bet. In the United
States everyone bets on the presiden-
tial election. Especially was this the
case in Washington last week. Bust.
ness was positively almost suspended
during the long continued doubt as
to which candidates stood first. There
was so much money tied up on wa
gers that there was little currency
left for circulation, and trade was at
stand still.
The influx Of visitors to the Ma
tional Capital within a few days sue
ceeding the election, has been re-
markable. The hotels and boarding
houses have filed up rapidly, and
the society people are here in force.
The disposition to make Washington
a winter society resort seems to be
increasing. Many wealthy people
now spend two or three months here
every winter, even though they claim
no permanent residence, and no fixed
business here. They come for ex-
element, for society, and to be chron-
icled among the distinguished people
at the Capital.
The tide Of people which PUSHES
towards Florida and the South as
cold weather sets in usually goes by
the way of this city, and generally stays
here week or two, going and CON-
coming. These worshipers of the
sun, or warm weather, are ar
irving now in considerable numbers.
In addition to the fashionable peo-
pie, it is noticeable that the literary
guild are also coming to Washington
for the season. I refer especially to
writer's of fiction, many of whom are
now located for the winter.
passed by the residence of Mrs.
General Logan few days ago. Gen
eral and Mrs. Logan have usually
boarded at q fashionable boarding
house, but this winter they will keep
house in an old-fashioned, homelike
mansion on Capitol Hill. The &C
quaintances of this couple are perhaps
as numerous as those of anyone in
public life. Their hospitality is great,
and Mrs. Logan stands second to
none in point of social popularity.
They will not entertain in the fash
ionable sense of the word, but their
home will be one Of the centres of
sociability and political influence this
winter. LENox.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says
"Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks called
upon. Mrs, Logan when the latter was
in Indianapolis. Both Of them are
ladies in the highest sense Of the
word, and the meeting was as could
be expected. There was respect on
the one side and courtesy on the
other, and however politics may
divide people it is gratifying to know
that these two ladies could meet each
other as they should"

Too Soft Religion.

We confess that in times past We
have not been among the admirers oil
Rev. Do Witt Talmage He seemedto
us too much OF a sensationalist, aud
a good deal OF bigot. But Of late
he seems to us TO DO improving very
decidedly, and TO DO graphing sue
cessfuliy with the living needs OF the
times. The following is favorable
sample Of mis- later Efforts;
Dr. T.im.ss In Frank Ls.lis's Magazine.
Much of the Christian character OF
the day lacks swarthiness and power
1t is gentle enough and active enough,
and well-meaning enough, but II
is wanting in moral muscle. 1t
can sweetly sing at prayer meeting,
and smile graciously when il is the
right time TO smile, and make an ex-
cellent nurse to pour out with steady
hand few drops of peppermint for
child that feels disturbance under
the waistband; but has no qualitica-
tons for the robust Christian work
demanded. One reason for this is the
ineffable softness of much of what is
called Christian literature. The at
tempt is to bring us up on tracts
made up of thin expectations and
goodish maxims. A nerveless treat
ise on commerce or science in that
style would be orumpled up by the
first merchant and thrown into his
waste basket. Religious twaddle is
of no more use than worldly twaddle.
If a man has nothing to say he had
better keep his pen wiped and his
tongue still. There needs to be an
infusion of strong Anglo-Saxon into
religious literature, and a brawnler
manliness and more impotence with
insipidity, though it be prayerful and
sanctimonious. He who stands with
irksome repetitions, asking people to
"Come to Jesus, while he gives no
strong common sense reasons why
they should come, drives back the
souls of men. If, with all the thrill
ling reality of eternity at hand, a man
has nothing to write which can gath
er up and master the thoughts and
feelings of men, his writings and
speaking is slander on the religion
which he wishes to eulogize. Nor
bidity in religion might be partially
cured by more outdoor exercise.
There are some duties we can per-
form better on foot than on our knees.
If we can carry the grace of God with
us down into our every day practical
Christian work, we will get more
spiritual strength in five minutes
than by ten hours of kneeling. II
Daniel had not served God save when
three times day he worshiped to-
ward the temple, the lions would GER
tainly have eaten him up. The school
of Christ is as much out doors as in
doors. Hard, rough work for God
will develop an athletic soul. Rehg-
ion will not conquer either the ad
miration or the affection of men by
effeminacy, but by strength. Because
the heart is soft is no reason why the
head should be soft. The spirit of
genuine religion is spirit of great
power. When Christ rides in apoca-
lyptic vision it is not on weak and
stupid beast, but on u horse-emblem
of majesty and strength: "And he
went forth conquering and to con-
quer."
