HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

The question of Home Rule has as
snmed an exciting form in Ireland.
The old feuds between Protestant and
Catholic are revived. Religious quar-
rels, more than all others, are most to
be dreaded. That part of Ireland
known as Ulster threatens armed re-
sistance to Irish Home Rule. AL
though this feeling of religious jeal-
Ousy is natural in some countries of
Europe, yet in this liberalized age
Professionals would have no just cause
of fear from Catholic supremacy in
the government of Ireland.

Sam Jones and Sam Small, the two
preachers who created such wide no
tice in Chicago some weeks ago, have
closed a series of meetings in Balti-
more, and now propose to go home to
Georgia and take rest. It is stated
that over 100000 persons attended
their meetings in Baltimore, and over
1000 of them professed conversion.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration day seems to have been
more generally observed throughout
the country, North and South, than in
previous years for some time past.
Decoration day, May 80. came on Sun
day this year. In most instances the
decoration ceremonies were put over
to Monday. In this city there was no
particular demonstration on Sunday.
The business of decorating the graves
of the dead soldiers was quietly done
without the sound of music or the
voice of orators. A few faithful
friends of the soldiers proceeded with
out noise of drum to the city cemetery,
followed by a wagon load Of Towering
plants in full bloom, in pots. Here
one of these fragrant offerings was
placed on the grave of each sleeping
soldier. The decorators then proceed
ed to the Irish Catholic cemetery, where
a like memorial offering was made, and
next to the German cemetery, on the
north side of the river, where the same
ceremony was observed. The annual
practice of decorating soldiers graves
seems to have lost in this city the past
few years much of the enthusiasm of
former times, and it is said our one
armed postmaster, Capt. Frantz, de-
serves mention as one of the patriotic
citizens who, with few others, has
kept alive this appropriate ceremony,
commemorating the services of those
who gave their lives to save their
country.

VOLUME XVII.

seven of the TELEGRAPH commences.
The history of the establishment of
this paper has often been given, and
need not be repeated again at this time.
There have been great changes in the
business of newspaper publishing since
the first commencement of this paper.
Before the building of railroads and
telegraph lines, the weekly newspaper
was far more indispensable than now
to the great majority of the people;
the weekly papers were relied upon in
the country towns for the early news
of important events. If, perchance,
news of interest was brought in ad.
vance of the stage coach mails, enter
prising publishers often sent out extras
into the neighboring country. The
newspaper offices were looked upon
as the repositories of the latest news.
Increased mail facilities and the cheap
daily papers have encroached upon the
old-time patronage of the weekly
papers; still it is as true now as it
ever has been that the weekly county
paper is necessity for the local news
and for the business affairs of the
county. The profits of newspaper
publishing have been much diminished
since thirty years ago. 1t was once
the practice for all kinds of tradesmen
to advertise their business. The mer-
chant who did not advertise his goods,
or the shOpman his wares, was sup
posed to be behind the times. Much
of this has changed. But little news
paper advertising, in the weekly
papers, compared with former years, is
now done, consequently diminishing
newspaper profits. The multiplication
of newspaper offices throughout the
whole country has been in excess of
the increase of population. Every
village of any considerable size has
now its local paper, which tends to
curtail the circulation of those estab-
lished at the county seats in earlier
times. Every newspaper started, un-
less it be in the new counties, draws
on the patronage of the older papers.
There are some kinds of patronage be-
longing to newspapers that are not in
creased or diminished by the increase
of papers. Legal advertising, which
is a source of profit, is regulated and
limited by law; it cannot be added to,
or lessened, whether there be dozen
newspapers in county or but one.
The great increase of newspaper estab-
lishments in these later years may be
justly taken as evidence of the growing
intelligence of the people. Wherever
the newspaper is not encouraged and
patronized, it betokens ignorance-a
people behind the age. The press is
to-day the great educator of the Ameri-
can people, and if it be found on the
side of right and of public virtue the
country will be safe. From the Wis
cousin Blue Book for 1884 it appears
there were $50 newspapers and periodi-
Gals published in the state; the in
crease since then has been large.

$SS,sOe SAVED TO THE STATE.

$SS,SO6 SAVED TO THE STATE.
1t is due to Hon. L. B. Caswell, our
representative in Congress from this
district, to state what faithful and
experienced member can accomplish.
We cannot give the space for all the
complications in the case in which Mr..
Caswell saved the state of Wisconsin
$50. SO6 in the adjustment of accounts
with the United States government.
1t must suffice to say, that in 1861
Congress levied war tax on all the
states, North and South, amounting to
100000. The proportion assessed
to the seeding states was about S.
100000, one-half of which has never
been paid. About three years ago
Congress allowed G eorgia an old revo-
lutionary claim of about $S3 900; this
the Secretary of the Treasury proposed
to set off against the unpaid war tax
due from Georgia. Upon this mem
Der from Georgia introduced bill
prohibiting the Secretary of the Treas
ury from offsetting claims against that
state; the bill was referred to the Jul
dietary committee, of which Mr.. Cas-
we'll was member. He had occasion.
as member of the committee, to re-
view the whole account with the sew
eral states. and here large work was
thrown upon his hands. The amount
due this state having been ascertained,
1t was presented for payment to the
Government by Gov. Rusk in 1882, but
payment was declined. The Governor
put the claim into the hands of Mr..
Caswell, who brought it to satisfac-
tory adjustment by obtaining an allow
ance of $Ss,s06. Anew member could
hardly have been expected to accom-
plish what Mr.. Caswell's long expert
ence in Congress enables him to do.
This district dropped an experienced,
tried member in 1888, and took ND a
man who made no record in Congress of
any consequence during his two years
term. 1t is too early to open the Con-
gressional campaign in this district.
Rumor has it that there are aspirants
for Congressional honors, but the tax
payers should pause before dropping
a man who has shown his ability to do
the state good service.

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.

Since the hostile demonstrations oil
the anarchists and communists against
the established order Of things in this
country, the subject has been agitated
in and out of Congress of the necessity
of putting some restrictions on the
character of immigrants allowed to
come to this country. A few years
ago it was the policy of the govern
ment to encourage immigrants from
foreign lands to seek homes in the
United States, and for this purpose
agents were sent out to invite the pop.
ulations in Europe to come here. II
was not then foreseen what would be
the result Of the broad invitation given
to all, no matter how hostile to our
institutions, or to what crimes they
were addicted, or what burdens on
society in their native land they may
have been. The fruits Of opening the
door wide, without any discrimlna.
ton of character, are now seen, and
the corrective comes rather late. Hon
Fred Horn, editor Of the Cedarbure
Ne,0s, Democratic leader among the
foreign population, and who has held
important offices, suggests a plan fo1
restricting foreign immigration. He
would require every person seeking a
home in the United States to obtain a
passport from the American consul in
his own country, which shall show
him to be of good character and law
abiding. By using this precaution, the
pauper anarchists and all other unde-
sirable classes would be shut out.
The plan of Hon. Fred Horn is worth
considering. A remedy for the evil
complained of is not too late.
By the laws of Wisconsin, State
Board of immigration was created, for
the purpose of inducing foreign i'm
migration. This Board has at its dis
posal $4,000 annually, to be expended
for disseminating information in re-
spect to the advantages Wisconsin Of
fers for the people of other lands to
come to this state. No doubt the
board has been the means of inducing
capital from other countries to be in
vested here, and valuable acquisitions
to our population. But at the same
time mass of ignorance and pauper-
ism has come here, not intended to be
invited by the board. 1t is now pro
posed to abolish the Board of Immi-
grafton; it has survived whatever use.
fitness in may have had.

EVOLUTION IN THE CHURCH..

Messrs. EtlitOrs: 1t is no doubt rcmcm-
bered that the Memphis appeal is the or
gan chosen by the trio of Presbyterian
preachers who represent the Woodrow
side of the Evolution controversy, at this
point, for the diffusion of their views.
The very able editors of that paper, in the
course of the discussion, in answer to the
inquiry whether, in their opinion, "the
Darwinian theory Of the evolution of man,
by generation and descent from the lower
animals, is the true theory of the origin OF
the human race" responded frankly in the
affirmative, saying, 1--WE believe the Dar-
winian theory to be the true theory OF the
origin Of man."
The editors of the appeal being not only
able, but also thoughtful and candid men,
and, moreover, having at least the quasi
Endorsement of the leading advocates OF
Woodrowisln, their testimony as to the re-
lation between Evolution and Christiani-
ty, and as to the probable influence of the
former, if accepted, upon the Christian
Church, must be interesting and valuable.
In this view send you an editorial, clip
ped from Yesterdays appeal, in reference
to the proceedings had in the General AS
sembly, on Saturday, on this subject:
1.-The Presbyterian General Assembly, in
its inquiry into Evolution has reached the
conclusion that it is dangerous theory.
The good preachers are right. A torch in
a powder factory would not be any more
dangerous than Evolution in the Christian
Church. Its acceptance would invalidate
the whole superstructure of Christianity"

SAM JONES' IDEA OF FINANCE
TO get in debt financially is about
the worst thing man can do. A
man had better die than to get in
debt, and l speak that with all the
honesty of my nature and out OF a
deep experience. Death has hurt
fewer people than debt has, and Spur
geon said a good thing when he said {:
81 have fought three enemies, | trust
successiully,-dirt and the devil and
debt-and by the grace of God hope
to conquer all three and make my
way to heaven" And / don't know
which is the worst. By soap and
water you can run the first off, by
prayer and faith you can make the
second "git," but this thing of debt
is mighty hard thing to manage.
A man that will buy a luxury on
credit is a fool, and man that will
buy luxury when he owes money
on an honest debt is rascal. The
same God that said, "ThOu shalt not
steal," said, "Owe no man anything,
but to love one another" Don't buy
a thing if you can't pay for it. But
if you must get into debt the next
best thing to do is to settle up the
first of every month every dollar you
owe. fnot oncea a month, then have
a clear receipt in full every Christ
mas day, and a man who does not
settle at least once yearis on a road
to bankruptcy.

THE "MYSTERY" OF EVOLUTION.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: Will you
publish the suhjoined extract from the
Christian Observer, as there was an article
in the ENQUIRER few weeks since on
this subject, purporting to have been writ
ten by u lady, under the caption of 1.-THE
Perplexed Subject of Evolution" have
failed to see any mystery or ''perplexity"
on this subject-only the blind infatuation
of the followers of DIR. Woodrow. In his
closing address in the General Assembly,
DR.. Woodrow warned the members to be
careful of theiraction on this matter, as he
was sustained by one-half of the members
of the Sydod in South Carolina. If the
above statement of DR.. Woodrow is cor
rect, the sooner Presbyterians know their
positions and views, the better for our
church.
DIR. Woodrow's address to the Alumni,
and his article in the Southern Presbyterian
Reriew, published in 1888, is evidence suf-
ficient. His doctrine is more dangerous
and more insidious because he asserts that
he believes every word Of the Bible. Is
this assertion intended to he paradoxical?
