RELIGIOUS,

The Roman Catholic cathedral in the cit,
of Mexico is said to be the finest church build
ing on the CO ltinent.
In the last twenty-five years the Metho,
dists increased the value of their church prop
erty about $50, 600, 900.
Russia. with a population of over 100, COO,
coo, has So bishops, 100,0;S clergymen, 27,00.
monks and NUNS, and LOCO churches.
Trinity church, at Stratford on Avon
Shakespeare's burial place, is being renovated
at q cost of $50, 900. 1t is six hundred years
old.
Recently high pontifcal mass was celebra
ted at Copenhagen for the first time since the
| days Of the reformation, such q service having
heretofore been forbidden by law. The Cath.
olics in Denmark now number about 5000
souls, with twenty-siX priests, of whom seven
are Danes.
Edward Ball. well known in the west as the
cowboy preacher, is q young man of intelli-
gencs, has o finely -shaPed head, and is said
to be very sincere in bis belief. He works
for money. and then spends every dollar in
travelling and preaching and for religious lit
erature to give away. In his preaching he is
somewhat after the Sam Jones order.

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

The indications are that the Union
Pacific cattle shipments will be materially
decreased this season, owing to the COM
pletion of the Sioux City & Pacific to
Chadron, in northwestern Nebraska, A
large number of Wyoming, Dakota and
NebIa,ks cattle, hitherto shipped over
the Union Pacific, will be tent east over
the new route, The terminus of which is
located at a commanding point. Thus
year by year the traffic of the Union
Pacific is diminished by new railroads In
the very territor which 1t should have
captured long ago, instead OF spending
millions upon millions ir the construction
Of distant and costly lines through re-
glons that will never be as productive of
freight traffic as Nebraska. The Union
Pacific lost golden opportunity in neg.
lectIng to extend Its system in every
direction through northern and north
western Nebraska. Its managers now
see the folly Of the policy that has been
pursued, and now, when they are willing
to amend the errors of their ways ss faI
as possible, they have no money for the
construction of any local feeders in Ne
braska. A branch through northwest
Nebraska would have proved many timel
more profitable than the Oregon Short
Line, which seems to have been bull
more for the bsneft of Sidney Dillon
construction ring than for any assistance
1t might render az q feeder to the Unior
Pacific.

The relations of church and state are

DIR. MILLER admits that a scheme wal
concocted by Nebraska democrats in
1876 to purchase a republican %elector In
this state, but he says that when the mat.
ter came to him (the' doctor) he refused
to have anything to do with It. In view
of the fact that DR.. Miller and his asso-
ciates attempted to steal a whole state,
some people may think that his refusal
to have anything to do with the contem
plated purchase of a Nebraska elector
was based on high moral grounds.
Others, however, will be more likely to
conclude that his refusal Was grounded
on a fear Of failure In such an enterprise.

THE Bessemsr steel-rail men are about
to form q pool, and raise the price of
rails from S27 to $50 per ton, which leads
the Philsdelphis Record to say:
The duty on street rails is SO high and the
prices are so low that they have no fear Of
competition from abroad, but they are anxious
to secure protection against each other. The
difficulty with all such combinations is that
manufacturers who are most favorably stu
ated for production are not willing to check
their output and their profits to accommodate
their weaker brethren.

WE shall soon know what attitude the
democrats and republicans of Iowa will
take on the question of prohibition in the
comingcsmpalgn. The indications are that
the democrats will, at their state conven-
ton, insert a plank In their platform
urging the repeal of the prohibition law
and substituting q high license of $500.
Should The republicans take a similar
course, 1t will make a very lively three
cornered fight In Iowa. The prohibl-
tionists with an independent ticket will
draw largely from both the demo ratio
and republican ranks. II will bs a very
bitter contest, and 1t Is difficult at this
