Unfortunately. however, We cannot safely

Sunday Schools.

Universalist minister read u paper last
Wednesday before meeting In this city, In
which he argued the question whether II Is
not time to do away with the Sunday school,
on the ground that II interferes with religious
training at home. and usurps a function
which belongs to the minister and the r,syu-
lar services Of the Church.
This Is q question which Is often raisH,
and with good reason. Many parents turn
their children over to Sunday school teachers
to got their religious instruction. because
they arc glad to escape tho trouble Of teach
Ing them their religious duties at homo. Fro
quently. too, the teachers are young people
who arc entirely Incompetent for tho task,
and who confuse rather than enll9h;sn the
young minds under their charge. They try
to teach what they themselves know nothing
about. or, at least, sow the sced Of narrow
and false notions, which do the children
harm in after years. The pupils grow up to
find that their prcceDtors were blind guides,
and consequently they may be impelled to
revolt against oil religious doctrine.
But very large share OF fathers, cspc-
cially in these days. are utterly unfit to
teach anything like dogrnatio religion to
their children. They do not believe in tho
old theology. and have no definite religious
teaching to give. Yet they do not care to
have their children grow up without some
religious instruction. They prefer that the
boys and girls should believe too much
rather than too little, and do not care to
take the responsibility of bringing them up
as little agnostics. They are. therefore, glad
enough to SEQ their wives going to church
and their children to Sunday school.
II the Sunday school was abandoned, q
great part OF the young people would 20
without other religious instruction than that
given them at tho mothers knee, instruction
which very likely would be counteracte.l by
listening to tho doubts and drnials Of
agnostic fathers. Even what the children
learn In Sunday school they are apt to soon
find does not command parental respect
But unless the Church keeps up its train
ing of tho young 1t will be In bad way for
recruits 1t Is question, however, whether
tho Roman Catholics arc not right--whether
the Church can afford to permit any except
q religious education for tho young.

Everybody admits the fact. and those who
ara most surprised at II admit It most cheer.
fully, that Mr.. BLAINE 10 a great deal stronger
~ On sspirant to tho Presidency, after hav.
ing been out Of offlco and engaged In tho oc.
equations Of private life for two years and a
half. than no ever was when In Office; and
yet he has held very important, honorable.
and Influential posts, and has exercised in
them an immense power over the politics Of
tho country.
The reason Of this cannot DO concealed,
and II 10 that Mr.. BI.AINE's popularity has
grown In his retirement until he Is now the
moet popular individual In the whole Ro-
publican party. 1t Is not the popularity
Of politicians, for the politicians are
mainly against him. It Is not . popu-
lsrlty Of the press, for thcro arc few
powerful journals that champion his
cause. II is popularity OF the masses I;
and the fact IL most erolitable to Mr..
BLAINE. Tho Republican press are against
him; the Republican politicians are agulnst
him; but tho people arc for him with an en-
.thusiasm and Q determination such az has
not been 0vinced toward any Republican
leader Of our day. with the single exception
perhap6, Of Gen. GRANT. and In his case the
feeling was not due to personal magnetism
or to political associations but to the pres
tige Of his successes In the civil war. With
Mr.. BLAINE 1t IL all a matter Of personal at
traction and OF the prestige OF dashing politi-
cal abilities.
But will this feeling suffice to nominate Mr..
BLAINRat Chicagop The answer which every
experienced observer Of public affairs will b.
likely to give 10 that 1t will not suffice. In
1890, the supporters Of Mr.. SEWARD went to
Chicago backed by the same popular zeal,
stimulated by even greater confidence and
greater resources; and yet, after Q most
animated struggle, they were beaten;
and the Judgment Of impartial history Is
that their defeat was great gain for the
country. In 1880 the supporters Of Gen.
GRANT went to Chicago with a similar
though perhaps less decided assurance Of
victory; and they. too, were beaten. In spite
OF all that could be done by the unwa vering
phalanx OF the famous 500; and history now
procains that their defeat was likewise
public boon.
Yet all these preoedents. and all tho clrcum-
stancee Of Mr.. BLAINR's own history should
not be held to close tho case against him.
Times have greatly changed and men have
changed with them. He may win new
ertumphs where his renowned predecessors
failed utterly. Certainly the surprising suo,
cesses he has just met with In States like
Ohio and Pennsylvania is we'll calculated to
confirm the determination and cheer the
courage OF his devoted followers.

A Peculiar Feature of the Rugg Case.


The most noteworthy point in the RrrGG
case was tho omission Of the prisoner, when
t"stifying in his own behalf, to pronounce
his confession untrue or to deny his guilt of
the crime with which he stood charged.
His testimony appears to have been con-
fined to statement of the circumstances
under which the confession was obtained
from him. He strove to show that he mtNio
1t solely in consequence OF inducements held
out to him by his jailer. Further than this
he would not CO.
The fact that his evidence was thus re-
stricted In Its scope gave the prosecution a
powerful advantage on tho final argument to
the Jury. Tho simple failure Of defendant
In q criminal case to go upon tho witness
stand himself cannot be used against him at
all. The statute expressly forbids any At
tempt to prejudice his case because he does
not choose to avail himself Of the privilege.
But when he comes to testify In his own be-
half, there is nothing to prevent the jury
from considering his testimony just al they
would that OF any interested party In civil
case; and they may draw differences from his
silence on some points no less than from
what he says On others.
Since Ruaa chose to speak at all, there
fore, the District Attorney might very we'll
ask why he said nothing concerning the facts
In proof, separate and apart from his con-
fession, which pointed directly to his guilt.
The natural inference which the jury might
be expected to draw from RUaG's course In
this respect would be that he was unable to
tell any story which would not break down
under cross-examination.
1t Is probable, however, that his counsel
were fully aware Of tho effect which would
be produced by restricting his examination
as they did. They regard tho question Of
tho admissibility Of RuaG's confession, We
suppose, as the one really doubtful point in
the case. Upon this they may baso some
hope Of securing new trial. and to
strengthen their position in regard to 1t az
much as possible they put the prisoner on
the stand. without reference to the conse-
quences 80 far as the present verdict was
concerned.

The Congo International Association
Recognised.

In conformity with resolution passed by
the Senate IN executive session, and In pur-
suanco OF the intention announced In his last
annual message, President ARTHUR has rec
ognised the rights acquired by the African
International Association In the valley Of the
Congo. Tho initiative thus taken by our
Government In repudiating the shallow
claims OF Portugal to control that region will
probably be seconded by several Continental
powers, and will either cause the Congo
treaty 10 be rejected by Parliament or render
that dishonest compact of little effect.
We have pointed out that the Portuguese
pretensions to authority over the lower
Congo. by virtue OF which 1t b proposed to
levy import duties on all commodities landed
on the coast In transit to the inland stations
Of the African Association, are utterly IN
founded But while denying their validity,
Lord GRANVILLE consented as . matter Of
favor to ratlfy the claims Of the Lisbon Gov
eminent by . provistona. treaty, In consid-
Grafton OF tho virtual monopoly secured to
British products. Under tho terms OF this
convention tho duties leviabie upon Eng
lish goods were fixed, whereas Portugal
WAS left at liberty to tax all other
merchandise ct her pleasure, and It
was Of course expected that she would
30 use this privilege ss to effectualiy bar out
impofts from Germany. France. Italy, Bel
GUM, and the United States. Not only, how
ever. was this covenant grOss violation Of
the commercial rights Of other nations, but
1t turns out that the British manufacturers
themselves are by no means satisfied with
the bargain. They think that Lord GRAN
WILLIE would make them pay too dear for
their whistle. For the scale Of duties appll-
cable to British wares is q high one, being
that defined In the so-called Mozambique
tariff Although, therefore, the Congo treaty,
could 1t be enforced, would undoubtedly out
of all OF England's competitors from trade
with the newly opened markets on the
Zaire, 1t would also transfer large
sum Of money from British pockets
into the Portuguese treasury. The mer-
chants OF Liverpool, accordingly, and the
millowners Of Manchester are beginning to
regard Lord GRANvILLss diplomacy with
disfnvor, and to question whether monop-
oily, subject to such onerous conditions,
would prove In tho end more profitable than
would an Official recognition Of the African
Association, which would either allow COM
