WHAT TO WEAR.-Each season brings
with it some new style Of dress goods and
trimming and one Of the very important
questions with the ladies is the latest and
most popular style this season. Well,
first OF all the dress goods never were pret-
tier or more varied in style than the new
things that have made their appearance
Fo. 4a,s f-.4 .4:,e.- ST.. =
va4iv Ian. Rough material
or home spun seem to be in favor. One of
thelmost popular things.is striped or figur-
ed flannel effect for over suits with cordu-
roy petticoat and collar and cuffs, an
other very desirable effect is mixed or
plain tricot and cassimeres made up with
plain or striped velvet or plush This
combination will be very popular as plain
velvet is very rich and the striped yelyets
and pushes are very bright and pretty.
Braid Will also be very extensively used
for trimming flannel effects, there are two
styles entirely new the astrakan and bas-
ket. Small and large bright buttons will
be very extensively used in trimming.
What shall we say about black dress
goods? Well, we have almost everything
that is made In black goods, among them
we mention serge, cashmere, double tace
wrep, ottoman, cashmere, tricotine, drab
enyers, Grape cloth, henrietta cloth, &c,

Coast Defpnses.

A bill has been introduced in the House
appropriating sll ,00O, 900 for the building
of revolving steel turrets for the defense of
important harbors, and contemplating the
annual appropriation of q, ,OOo, 900 until the
system of defense is completed.
I The wisdom of expending so large sum
on forts that may become useless in a few
years, may well be questioned but little
study Of the defenseless condition of our
harbors, and the reflection that many
times the sum named could be collected by
foreign ironclad from New York, San
Francisco, or our other large cities, should
convince the prudent that it is better now
to spend millions for defense. than be
obliged at some future day to give millions
for tribute.
Germany has built a line of these re-
volving forts, mounting heavy guns along
her sea coasts and they are necessary to
make the use of torpedoes practicable.
twill not do to depend solely on either
vessels, torpedoes or forts, but the three
lines OF defense are mutually dependent
and must be developed in unison.

Religion In Education.

In these days of college commencements
when the Unknowable and the Unthinka.
BILE are contending for the mastery of the
mind of the average young collegian, and
to believe in God and future state is un-
progressive, it is refreshing to listen to
these sentiments of Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix,
Of New York, expressed in his baccaau-
reate sermon at Trinity college, Hartford {:
In our day, he said, it looks as though the
foundations Of Christian education have been
undermined SO effectuslly that even the great
towers are ready to fall. Large numbers of
educators, in revolt from the old faith, are en-
aged in experiments of which no one can fore.
see the end and perhaps in the popular mind
the idea OF university Is that of place where
absolute neutrality toward religion shall be
scrupulously observed, where no attempt at
discipline shall be made, where the student
shall be practically law unto himself. In
view of these remarkable changes in the
world about US, the position of this college
challenges attention and compels admiration
and respect OF those who hold old-fashioned
views about the fear of the Lord as the
beginning OF wisdom, mans duty 20 God,
the value of character and the need of dis
ciplinein the intellectual sphere. The college
u sustained by divine faith in the fountain
OF wisdom and human faith in the value of
disciplinary study. As to the question of
religion in education, Christ's words in the
text explicitly imply that it is folly to talk
About neutrality toward Him.

Cleveland and Pensions.

Mr.. Cleveland is not afraid to run coun-
ter to that mawkish sentimentalism which
would allow all legislation pertaining to
pensions, whether intrinsically right or not,
to receive official approval. With his Keen
edged veto hatchet he chopped off the
heads of thirteen such measures on Mon
day, declaring at the same time that he
was thoroughly tired of disappearing gifts
OF public money to individuals who. de-
spite apparent congressional sanction, have
no right or claim to the same.
The president boldly declares that most
Of the pension bills that have passed the
Senate and House never get before Con-
gress in their proper form, but are hurried
through at nominal sessions called speci-
ally for their consideration. This is fact
with which the public was not generally
well acquainted, and throws light upon the
vast increase of pension measures in recent
years.
The president takes very proper view
OF the situation in considering that he is
the trustee of the money that generous
government laid aside for the maintenance
of those who had really fought and became
disabled in its behalf. He does not con-
coive it to be his mission to approve every
trumped-up claim for pension, simply be-
cause it has run the gauntlet of both
houses Of Congress. For he has lived
long enough in Washington to know how
such action may be brought about
regardless of the effectiveness of the meas
ureS.
The president by thus taking the people
into his confidence and giving to them
c0nscientiously his reasons for refusing to
approve apparently meritorious bills, at
tains each day larger degree of personal
strength. He is plain man, who uses
plain language about the evils in public
life that stare him in the face. This is
what the people want and what they can
understand. Besides it vindicates their
wisdom in selecting him as the nation S
chief executive.

THE charge against the Rev. Messaros reads
very much like a carefully laid plan to black
mail, but whatever be the truth the incident
will add to the fast growing public opinion
that the clergy as a class should be more dis
tinctly apart from their people; that pastor
should be as father and leader of his con-
gregstion and not as their friend and by the
dignity of his high calling INSPIRE not only
respect for learning and eIoquence but
reverence as well. Too many OF our clergy
are absorbed with the ambition TO he CON
sdered eloquent or learned, and although
they are as a class men of the highest principle
and Of most exemplary morality, yet they do
not fully appreciate the fact that their office
Is to preach Christianity not only by their
words but in their lives, and that the latter
preaching is by far the most powerful.
The strength of the early Christians Law
not so much in their burning eloquence as
in the examples that they offered to the
world OF lives so far above the average in
purity and in devotion TO high principle that
while showing most profound contempt for
the opinions of men they won the most pro.
found respect of all Let the laity take their
share of the blame fo- the scandals that have
so frequently OF late disgraced religious COM
munities. If they bad not made it a rule to
reward eloquence and learning above auy
other excellence, the other virtue would not
now be cast so deeply in the shade.

Republicans In OHRce.

The whining of those Republicans who
have been forced out of Office by their Dem.
ocratic betters is becoming very tiresome.
One would think that all the Republican
officials had been promptly turned out on
Democratic accession to power Whereas
these are the facts gathered from trust
worthy sources
To begin with, Commissioner OF Pensions
Black, upon whose head the concentrated
vials of Republican wrath have been poured
tor his alleged psrtisanship 1t is shown by
the official records that out OF 100 appoint-
ments of special examiners made 10y him ~
were Republicans and there was nothing In
the Law to restrict him from appointing
Democrats entirely. In his office there are
now eight Republican chiefs of divisions,
at 5000 per annum each, not protected
by the civil service law. There are still
iu thirteen Republican medical examiners
not protected by the law. At least half of
the lower grade of employees, such as labor
ers, messengers, &c, and who, OF course, are
Republicans, have not been disturbed. The
commission of the Republican government
printer, MIR. Rounds expired on the llth OF
April last, and he is still in office, with abso-
lutte control over the nearly 5000 employees
of that office and who are not included in the
civiliservice regulations So with the bureau
OF engraving and printing, whose kepuoil'
can head was appointed by Mr.. Cleveland,
and who has absolute disposal Of LOCO or
more appointments In the treasury depart
ment there are not less than twenty five Re-
publican chiefs of divisions whom the secre-
tary has the power to remove at any day, and
with salaries ranging from s., 900 to 81, 900. In
the interior department there are about
eighty Republicans not protected by the
civil service law, filling some of the most
responsible .aud lucrative offices, the salaries
in several instarce reaching to as much as
$4,000 and 5000 per annum, aud not one

RuY rHEY ALL DECLINk
To Accept the Epi.copa, Blshopric Down In
Esstop, Maryland.


FROM the Cccil Co, Nd. Democrat
The refusal of REV. Kinlock Nelson 10 ac-
cept the vacant Episcopal chair of the diocese
OF Easton, brings to the attention OF the
members and friends OF his church, q very
grave aud embarrassing, II not mortitying,
question. Three times in succession the
convention of clergymen and lay delegates
have met aud elected a gentleman to accept
the duties laid down by the lameuted Lay,
aud as often has the work been declined
why these futile efforts TO confer a dignity
which it il presumed no clergyman will de-
cline? Would II not appear that the trouble
is in the substantial interests of the dioCeseP
Is it not an evidence that the ordinary
man finds discouragements that bid him
shrink Bishop Lay was an extraordinary
man, yet even he baItled for many years to
conquer obstacles that still nfrouted him
when health ard strength were gone. Is IL
not probable that the Organization OF diocese
out of a few old aud thinly populated coun-
ties, with not city or large town in its
borders aud no likelihood of such early
growth as may be expected in young
community, was mistake? Has anything
occurred, since the diocese of Esston WAS
formed, TO vindicate its formation? Would
it not be wisdom to form an alliance
with the diocese OF Delaware, or to
return 10 the old fold In the Maryland do
cese The former suggestion is encouraged
and advocated by geographical position. Ihe
latter is the natural suggestion OF dial love.
A junction with Delaware would make dio-
cese large enough to till the measure of one
mans ability, and rich enough to foster the
needs OF its people. return to Maryland
might induce aud would justify division OF
the diocese into two, with Baltimore rs the
metropolis OF one and Washington OF the
other, both large enough, populous enough,
and rich enough. \ discussion of this sub
iect is perhaps out of place in secular news
paper, but Easton has no church paper, and
the matter interests 4 large number OF our
readers Whether or not the subject invites
consideration, before another aud perhaps
futile effort Is made to elect bishop for the
Esston diocese, is matter tor the church
