A LITTLE TOO coon

The English Wesleyans have refused a
gift of $45, 900 for missionary uses from Mr..
John Wilson, a distiller because they
couldn't approve the way in which the
money was made On the same principle
we presume, they would refuse the gift of a
banker who had charged more than the legal
rate of interest; or of the merchant who had
specialized on the wants of an i'll supplied
market. In either case, or any case where
the donor is legally in possession Of the
means, it is not scrupulosity but idiocy that
refuses a gift that can be instantly turned to
good and good only. 1t is worse than idiocy,
for that means simple, helpless, while such
refusal is positive, self-invoked mischief by
Withholding positive good to those who
could be easily benefited. 1t is wickednesS
as clearly as the waste of missionary money
IN idle parade or pleasure. 1t is a refusal to
do good where the chance and means offer
without the slightest offense to God
or man on their part. When
man is owner by law of any property, any
righteous man of sense will be glad to set
to help the cause of religion. The Quak-
rs once refused liberal donation from Mrs.
ordan, the actress, because they thought the
beater wicked. The Orphans Society of
his city, more than quarter of century
o, refused benefit at the Metropolitan
heater, rendered by the manager, Mr.. Els
=, when the society and its helpless wards
re in sore need and the benefit would have
ven them a quarters fair support. Some
our "unco' guild and rigidly righteous
iizens, as Burns calls them, advised against
like the Wesleyans, and the money was
t to the necessitous babies. A few years
ter-after the war had beaten little COM
on sense into such heads-this same soci-
itself gave two or three amateur stage
.rformances for the benefit of its treasury,

usteur than professional performance.

ley ans and the advisers of the indianapolis
Orphan Society He would have instructed
them to inquire strictly into the way the

begun. That the enormous aggregation of
the party should, after long absence from
power, confronted by evils of long growth
and great dimensions, be absolutely free
from errors of misunderstanding and fail to
generate here and there little animosities,
would be a curious anOmanly. Such are
common to all organizations whatever, they
arc the accidents that can neither be foreseen
nor prevented. Neither do they affect the
great momentum of events, that goes on
without those who can not accommodate
themselves to it. The-momentum of the
Democratic party will not be lessened by
petty quarrels, grown ont of merely 1ndivid-
ual preferences. Those who foster them will
find they have few sympathizers, and fewer
who can understand the petty causes that
led to them, and which are nearly always Of
the most individual nature. Cool after
thought will convince the most recalcitrant,
if they be honest, of the folly of discord and
the necessity OF harmony-that success OF
the whole is more essential than success of
the individual-that principles are superior
to ambitions.

A SIGN OF WEAKNESS

1t would seem that political affairs in
France were daily increasing in confusion
and the French Republic growing daily
weaker. The act of expulsion Of the
Bourbon and Orleanist Princes shows state
of nervous apprehension, justified by the
friendless, isolated position of France in
Europe. Surrounded as she is on every hand
by powerful military monarchies, to whom
her existence is a perpetual menace, her po-
sition is really dangerous, and leaving ready
justification for her fears of a royalist con-
spiracy. This event is pretty certain of sue
cess unless republican ideas take firmer root
in other countries of Europe than they seem
to. France can not regain her position or in
huence in Europe so long as her institutions
bar the way to a confidence that the mon
arches will never extend to a Republic near
their doors. The French people, largely
Catholic are in schism with the church,
and now that the latter's trouble with
Germany has been healed, there is
added another element of isolation that
will take on the force within the borders
what it has had without.
1t is unlikely that the French Government
acts without reason in expelling the princes.
Many things have pointed to possible re-
vulsion of feeling in France. The 0rlean-
lists are personally popular, and their theory
of government is popular; a growing ele-
ment perceives that the power of France Is
hampered from want of influence in Europe
that would readily be accorded to kindred
monarchy. They see not only their influence
nulliied, but see an inevitable conflict for
national existence, and they fear that this
conflict would be entered with heavy odds
against them, without an ally at all compe-
tent to help them against two such powers
as Germany and Italy, whose tocsin has been
so recently sounded in a threat to further
dismember the territory of France. Some
signs of a friend have been seen in Russia,
but this is only probable to a supreme occa-
sion. 1t is pretty certain that Russia will
not do much to extend the power or in-
huence of republican France, while her in
terest in a monarchical France would be to
extend her to the utmost.
the extent of expulsion of the Princes indi
Gates fear weakness, that IN connection
with her necessities will lead to a change in
its form, unless by some unlocked for event
the cause of Republicanism secures great
addition of strength on the continent of Eu-
rope, and this is apparently long distance
vet in the future.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
FIRST Days Session of Salvauon Army Con-
gress in London.

LONDON, May 29.-The salvation Army Congress
opened in this city to-day. 1t will remain in ses-
sion a week. Two thousand officers and many
thousands OF soldiers of the Army from all parts
OF the world are present. breakfast was given
to the delegates this morning in Exeter Hall,
which crowded to its fun capacity.
At to-day meeting General Booth, Commander
of the Army, in his opening address gave statis-
tics showing the work performed by the organic
alton during the past year. He said that in Great
Britain alone S3j0,O00 had been contributed to
the Army Treasury, 10000 girls had been rescued
from life on the streets, and nineteen homes for
put in working order. The Prison Brigade, the
General said, was doing good work.
Delegate Smith, from the United States, made
an address on the Armys work in America, and
greatly moved the audience by his thrilling stor-
les of souls saved.
A Canadian delegate said he regretted that eau
ada had not given to the Army portion OF the
money which the Dominion spent in killing the
Riel rebels. If the money had been given to the
Army, the rebels might all have been converted
and saved, and Riel himself might have been now
a Major in the Army.
Miss Booth testified that the French and Swiss
members OF the army were among the most solid
and devoted workers il possessed, but they lacked
funds, and she urged the English to contribute
to the treasures to enable them to proceed in the
good cause.
Rev Mr. Price, Rev. Mr.. Hughes and Others
urgently appealed for funds
The congress during the evening had a grand
procession, with bands and banners, through the
streets of London.

"OLEo" has been heavily taxed by the
House. 1t was a law for the benefit of
farmers, who saw the cheap artificial pro-
duct destroy their dairy industry. 1t is an
unconscious effort to equalize the necessity
of life and prosperity that inheres in indus
try, and that evolved in artificial creation of
products that reduces the necessity of indus
try. 1t is part of that intricate question
involved in the use of applied science and

A HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL.
Mrs. Hendricks Received n Copy of TIN
IroquOis Club Memorial on Her
Late Husband.

Mrs Hendricks has received handsomely
bound copy of the memorial on the death of
the late Vice President, adopted by the Iro-
quois Club of Chicago, December 1, 1885.
The binding is of Turkey morocco, and the
leaves are fastened in with white silk cord
with tassels at the ends. On the front OF
the cover are the words, in large gilt letters:
"In Memory of Thomas A. Hendricks" and
below is the name, "Iroquois Club" There
are eight or ten pages OF the memorial, made
of thick white paper, and each is separated
from the other by a leaf of heavy white gro
grain silk.
While the writing has evidently been
done with pen, the letters are of several
antique styles, aud each page has more or
less decorative work, also done with a pen,
around the margins. The memorial was
adopted at a regular meeting of the Iro-
quois Club and was done lin affectionate
remembrance of Thomas A. Hendricks" 1t
speaks of his talents as a man, a lawyer and
a statesman, and refers to him as for twenty
five years a leader of the Democratic party,
representing in himself the trials of the
period through, which he passed. The me-
mortal is signed by the committee drafting
it and composed of NJ. w. Fuller. Martha
j. Russell, Anthony F. Seeberger, John w.
Doam and S. Carrier Judd, and also the Sec
retaries of the club.
Mrs. Hendricks has the printed and writ
ten memorials of several organizations but
the testimonial of the Iroquos Club is far the
handsomest in design. In speaking of its re-
ception last night, she said that she was very
much gratified at the evidence of apprecia-
ton which the club had shown for tie
memory of Mr.. Hendricks as well as its
kindness in sending her copy OF the

Trouble With House Painters.

CHICAGO May 3O.-An arrangement was
entered into on May by the house painters
of Chicago and the leading contractors that
the eight hour system should operate from
that date provided the painters should not
ask for an increase of pay. The contractors

held meeting to-day to decide what course
to pursue. A general strike was favored by
many, but finally compromise was agreed
to whereby the employees of ]. V. Sullivan

tractors in the city, will strike tomorrow
morning. 1t is understood that if this does
not bring the contractors to terms other
firms will be locked out until the contractors

the Irish shall retain their seats in the I'M
perial Parliament. One of the strongest OBJ
iections by the English to the Gladstone
scheme was that the exclusion of Irish
members from participation in imperial
affairs was equivalent to a total separation.
AS we take it, the Irish want local Self-gov-
eminent, not secession. 1t also would APP
pear that the prime necessity of the English
Government was the establishment of a sys-
tematic Federal relation with the various
parts of the Empire, that, while leaving
local affairs in the hands of the people, will
preserve the strength and unity OF the
whole; in fact, system somewhat similar
to our own. With this concession it would
seem that the opposition to his measures for
Irish reform must be confined to the few
who will never be satisfied with less than
nslitary persecution and coercion of the

THE isles of Greece have proven themselves
not less fertile now of genius than ages ago,
BY creating few cabinet ministers seeming
ly match for combined Europe. Tricoupis
Is making his own arrangements with Turk
ey, regardless of the powers, and nonchalant-
ly informs them, relative to their blockade,
that they mad do whatever they may con-
slider expedient. This is comic but the
tragic side of it is being discussed at Vienna,
who regard the sentiments expressed by the
Metropolitan of Moscow as excathedra, and
in the nature OF a crystalline exponent of a
modern day crusade for the possession of
Constantinople and Jerusalem. Russia stands
nearly in the same relation to modern Greece
that Macedonia once stood with the Athen-
ian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT conquered by Gull
ture and traditions until they have been alb
sorbed into them, but giving them new force.
Tie utterance of this high functionary of the
Greek Church, in its. effect upon the fanatical
Russians, is more threatening by far than the
Cars decree OF Livadia, for it leads to
things outside of the control of diplomacy
and a sentiment that the all powerful Car
is powerless to controVert. And it is not
wonderful that Greece feels in comic mood,
and that Vienna looks upon it much as the
handwriting upon the wall. A Greek cru
