S.-At the afternoon ses- sion of the National committee of the Pro hibition party declaration of purpose and policy was made setting forth that the grand controlling object of the party is the sup pression of the liquor traffic; that the party will make no compromise of it's principles by coalition with any political party, and the Prohibition party has no confidence that either the Democratic or Republican party will legislate for or administer the govern 1nent in behalf of citizens so to secure them in their liberty.

Miners, Wages At Bottom Rates.

PIrTsBURG, Jan. S.-The settlement ot the strike in the first three pools on the Monon- gahela river at the 215 cut rate has caused dissatisfaction among the fifth pool opera tives. The difference heretofore has been 15 cent in their favor in the price for mining. They now claim that it should be 4 of a cent and have determined to cut wages to 13/ cents. This will be the lowest rate of wages ever paid for mining in this section. There is no talk of a strike at present.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 9.-The notices of the coming reduction in wages were nosted in all the mills here this morning.

Not Mysterious.

Mr.. Chauncey Depew who, by virtue of
his election to the presidency of the New
York Central, takes position as financer
though bred to the law, is reported by
the New York World to have lately said,
in conversation with other gentlemen on
the business situation Of the country, that
he is at a loss to account for the depres-
sion in business, when there is every con-
dition for favorable investment, trade be-
ing upon hard pan basis, the business
wrecks swept away, and the banks Of
New York holding a hundred and sixty
millions of idle money, drawing little or no
interest. He considered it a mystery of
finance that this capital should thus lie
idle. His conclusion was that " capital is
an idiot" In the flush times it went into
every wild speculation, and now it refuses
employment of any kind.
And then Mr.. Depew went on to state
ment of what he called financial para
dox, without seeming to know that it gave
the explanation of his financial mystery.
He said that certain creations of property
result in corresponding destruction of capi-
tai. For instance, the Nickel Plate rail
road cost $4,000, 600; and it reduced the
value Of the Lake Shore, which it paral-
leled, s75,OOO,OO0 besides causing re-
duction of the market value of its
own sSO,OOO,OoO investment to siO,-
100000. The like thing occurred when
the West Shore paralleled the New York
Central and it is, in some proportion,
the result that has attended every recent
construction of railroads. There has been
wiping out OF the market values of rail
roads all over the country from the Allan
tic to the Pacific by the headlong construc-
tion of competing lines.
The reason is that there was much money
in these constructions. The confidence of
the people in the growth of the country was
played upon by their projectors, and money
was obtained to build them in excess of their
extrayagant cost, and they were built where
there was not business TO sustain them
aud their rivals. The earning of profit,
upon which the value of a railroad de-
pends, became impossible, and the neces-
aary result was a shrinkage in the market
value of railroad securities. The investors
lost their money; and the projectors lost
their power to engage further money in their
schemes. twas the old story of the goose
and the golden eggs, and there is no mys-
terry in the present idleness OF capital that

THERE is a comfortable theory among q
great many young college graduates, who
have but recently gone from the four walls
of their alma mater, that college education
is passport without which one can travel but
a short distance on the road to literary fame
They will admit, that a man may become a
good lawyer a successful politician, or first
rate preacher without having corrugated
Greek verbs or puzzled his brains over sines
and co-sines. But when it comes to wooing
the muses. they will tell you that collegi-
ans necessarily distance those compet-
itors who have not enjoyed the advantages
of.a college training The theory is beau
tiful one to them, and they are prepared
to defend it by what seems to them unan-
swerable logic. 1t does not, however, see N
strong enough to resist the array of facts that
may be brought against it. Walt Whitman
Whipple, Trowbridge, Field, Parton, Bayard
Taylor, Eggleston, Harte, Howells, James,
Aldrich, Lathrop, Stockton, Piatt, Cable,
Crawford, Fawcett Glider, Harris, Carleton,
"Mark Twain" Stoddard and Burroughs,
it is said, have gained all their knowledge and
culture outside of college walls None will
pretend to say that these men have not left
their impress ON American literature. The
truth about genius is that 1t can live down
the most untoward circumstances that arse
to check its growth.

Willingness to receive Kelley as American

1t alleges against Mr.. Kelley that as he has
been deemed Objectionable by Italy,
Austria does not care to wound the tender

by approving him who has been disap-
proved. Yet there was a time when Austria
was not so tender of the feelings of Italy. 1t
declined to receive Anson Burlingame, who
was sent rs minister to Austria by the first
Lincoln administration in 1851, for the rea-
son that he "had spoken often in favor oi
Hungarian independence and had moved il,

RELIlIOUA MELANGE X.

Auguste Nitu, the dramatic critic of the
Figaro, who knew Victor Hugo very in
timately, quotes him as saying: "Those who
flatter themselves that they see God under
certain definite figure, and who coniine him
with dogma, are rash those who deny
his existence are fools. That Is my profession
of faith and this God, whom do not know,
/ adore with all the force of my Intelligence
and reason"
Prof Briggs makes an attack, i'm the
PreSbyterian RepieW, on the revised version
of the Old Testament He holds chair Of
Hebrew in leading theological seminary.
He charges that the reviserS have slavishly
followed the Jewish Masoretic text, instead
of seeking to secure, as did the New Testa-
ment revisers, a correct text; and that they
have proved themselves incompetent from
their Ignorance of Hebrew grammar, to trans
late correctly the text as they received it.

disapproval, and at the same time to appre-
ciate the fact that it devolved upon him TO say
something worthy the occasion. Finally he

One OF our brother editors announces that
all the money his paper makes above paying

Doubtless he hopes that such declaration
will bring him patronage which but for this

can safely say that it will not add a single
name to his list, and for two reasons: No
one will believe that the paper will ever do
more than pay its own expenses even IL 1t

has been thus clearly caused. There
is no outlook in railroad business
at present for profit. The country
must grow up to the need of its present
railroad facilities, or to near prospect OF
needing them, TO create the confidence in
the earning capacity of railroad property
that will enhance its value.
