tianity possesses the attributes OF what
we call love and mercy, as well as those
OF wisdom and power. Charleston is not
Sodom and Gomorrah. Its people, take
them as a whole, will compare favorably,
in all respects, with similar number OF
people congregated in any other city.
That there Is the usual percentage Of
wicked, vicious people in the population
goes without saying. The disaster at
Charleston brought terror and suf-
fering to all classes Of human
ity there. The Christian mother,
hugging her innocent babe to
her pure bosom, was crushed to death,
while the scarlet woman, sleeping in the
embrace of her paramour, escaped un-
harmed. Men OF reputable lives, whose
record is an honor to the race, looked
out on their ruined homes, while the roue
or thief lost nothing. st. MIchael's (the
pride Of several generations of Charles
tonians) suffered more severely than
many brothel In the city In fact 1t was
the good people, as rule, and their prop
erty that suffered, for the simple reason
that decent, good people are in the major
ity in Charleston. Why should Provi-
dence scourge the innocent many for the
sins of the vicious few? Such teachings
are irrational and deliterious and ought
to be frowned down by the churches, for
they are not credited by the majority Of
the Christian men and women Of to-day.
Natures laws, and nature is the voice Of
God, are immutable, and 1t is not given to
any one to understand them. They are
often harsh and terrible in their workings,
but it is not necessary that the glory Of
God shall be shown by depicting Him as
wanton, cruel and irrational In His mani
festations, The sooner the school of
Judgment" and especial dispensation"
preachers finishes its mission and dis
appears the better it will be for human
| ity and the church.

THE Chicago Drovers' Journal says:
"a practical cattleman identified with
the Texas ranch business who has been
here some weeks, has come to the conclu-
sion that prices for cattle have been lower
ever since the advance in freight receipts
in the spring, amounting to 20 per cent. on
live cattle and 10 per cent. on dressed
beef. Who is paying for the increased
cost OF shipping cattle to the East, amount
ing on auaverage to 81 0S per head2 The
railroad gets 1t, but the important question
is, who pays it2 The shippers and butch
ers and beef men cannot or will not
make their Eastern consumers pay it, but
they cannot lose 1t, so very naturally it
comes directly out of the pocket of the
producer. The railroads exact an exor-
bitant freight rate on cattle and beef
Last spring 1t was agreed among them
that the actual cost OF hauling cattle from
here to the Eastern seaboard was ia
cents per cwt., and that 20 cents allows 9
railroad fair prof. above expenses
Now the point is, why should the railroads
be allowed to exact SO cents on live cat
tie, and 60 cents on dressed beef? These
rates are excessive, and as can be easily
demonstrated, the man who raises the
cattle pays the excess "

IRRATIONAL TEACHINGS.

Since the earthquake at Charleston
some Of the ministers throughout the
country, preaching on the disaster, have
characterized II as q Judgment Of God
"a divine irritation upon the hapless
city, as punishment for the sins OF its
Inhabitants, This sort OF pulpit talk
ought to cease. II is not credltable to
the intelligence of the ministry and it is
disrespectful to divinity. All men who
believe In the existence OF God (using
that term in It's broad and general sense)
concede His wisdom aud power. 1t Is
rational to believe that He who created
san destroy. But It is not rational to
believe that destruction will be Of 4
wanton, Wholesale and cruel nature. The
scriptures teach us that the God Of Chris.

THERE are great and radical changes
inaugurated so quietly as TO scarce Gre
ate ripple, and yet are freighted with
much good or evil TO the human race. OF
such character is an event occurring
not long since in Cuba, the adoption OF
an amendment to the constitution where
by the last vestige of human slavery is
effaced by the liberation of the slave APP
prentices. Twenty years ago this would
have startled this country; but now, in
the changes these years have wrought, 1t
passes unnoticed. Spain was the first
power to introduce slavery on this CONT
nent, and has been the last to abolish it.
The beginning Of the abolition movement
was when Great Britain set her slaves
free in her West Indian possessions, and
by that act aroused the indignation Of the
slayeholding states, and now the closing
act Of the tragedy scarce ELECTS COM
ment. The leaven introduced into the
constitution by Jefferson has leavened
the whole mass, and now for the first
time since the occupancy Of North Amer
lea by the white race can it be truthfully
said, Gan men are born free"
