Patti goes into the provinces" which she once
scorned to visit. and Nilsson has been singing to
empty benches. These singers will both be in
this country nextseason, each expecting to carry
away a fortune in American money, as they
have done before. 1t seems about time that
Americans should resist the demands of foreign
musical artists, and teach them that the day of
paying extravagant prices for their songs is over
here as well as abroad.

GIVE the silver dollar an honest chance.
Stop its compulsory coinage. Stop putting a
brand upon it. Stop the issue of warehouse
receipts for the benefit of mine owners. Stop
the issue of all small denomination notes and
fill the vacuum with silver dollars and more
subsidiary coins. Make the silver coin the
coin of the people for their ordinary daily
business. Give silver q fair chance.

QUEEN VICTORIA, who has been favorable
from the first to an installment Of home rule
for Ireland, in the shape of an extension of
local self-government, has informed the Min
istry that a bill for a separate Parliament
would not receive the royal approval. It
would almost mark an epoch in English con-
stitutional government were the crown to use
its power of veto against the will of Parlia-
ment.

The following are some selections from the
points" Of the last reported sermon Of the
REV" Sam Jones, in Cincinnati:
eff Cincinnati can't foot the bill, God will
send a couple of these Brooklyn fellows down
here to help out"
81 don't care what you believe or what you
don't believe, if you'll give me your heart,
I'll comb those kinks out of your hair mighty
quick"
"God knows your little mind has been the
stamping-ground of the devil all your life,
and He knows the devil has been roaming
round there and leaving his old duds after
him, and all God wants is your heart, and he
will empty the stamping-ground Of the devil
of all the duds there in a few minutes"
"Pll get you through; / will pull you to the
shore; but if you go to laundering around
and try to swim out, you'll drown, sure as
you're born. I will take you to church to-
night, and when | open the door you come
right in and join"
"Well, he did come up and join that very
night. told him to keep his mouth shut and
| would pull him through. AS we got to the
church he said: why, Mr.. JONES' Shut
your mouth said 1. If you want to save
now and then he would try to interrupt me,
and | would have to shut him up. I didn't
want to hear him talk. I knew if I once got
my hook in his jaw l would land him safe and
sound"
"Well, he kept on that way, and in about
three weeks the greatest, biggest case Of re-
ligion broke out on him you ever saw in your
life"
II expect if some Of us good brethren had
been there when Christ came along the road
and saw Matthew receiving custcms-he held
office under the Roman government and he
was a dude-and said, Matthew, follow me-
and Matthew got up and went with Christ, I
expect we would have said, Hold on, you
have not got religion yet But when Matthew
closed his books and took his first step in the
footsteps of Christ he had it, don't you sect"
"When the congregation will shout clear
through a collection, they have got it good
then; there is no doubt about that. A man
that can shout when a collection is going on,
he will shout when this world is on fire."

hook in your jaw tomorrow, don't you seep
1t is these expressions that make the 'tsensa-
lions" and evoke the 'tamens" and cause the
'deep feeling" about which the public is ad-
vised by the column every day. Any irrever-
emf mountebank in the country, sufficiently
reckless Of the proprieties Of the occasion and
place, could say the same things, and probably
many better, or, as the religious papers call
them, "wittier" things. That honorable, in
telligent, God-fearing. church-loving people
can sit, night after night, by the hundreds
and thousands, and listen to such talk as this,
and lend its utterer their countenance and
make him the exponent of the religion of the
Lord Jesus Christ, is beyond our comprehen-
sion. We look upon the phenomenon as one
of the most dangerous and inexplicable Of the
many strange things in this age of bizarre and
outre demonstrations. Such things make a
dozen ~scoffers and inidels to one ~"convert."

The Savannah, Ca, News SAYS:

'There is one thing which the prohibition
leaders ought not to let pass unnoticed. 1t is
that prohibition has not been generally sue
cessful where it has been mixed with politics.
In no State has it made such great and sub
stantial progress as in this State. Indeed,
Georgia may fairly be called the leading pro-
hibition State. Is it not the fact that its sue
cess in this State is largely due to the fact
that it has not been made a political issue9"

THE fact that a whisky case from Kentucky
has appeared in the Supreme Court in the dis

In the numerous speeches he has de-
livered since the defeat OF the Home
Rule measure, Mr.. Gladstone has fre-
quently referred to the significance OF
the vote in way that is not entirely
ineligible to the American reader, the
cable reports not having furnished IN
with an analysis Of the vote. Some Of
the very figures may therefore be in
teresting, especially, as showing the
attitudes of the participants in the
great campaign begun with the vote on
Mr.. Gladstone's bill. The members OF
the House are thus accounted for on
that occasion: Total present, includ-
ing Speaker and tellers. 68e: absent
from illness, Liberals 3, Tory /; total
members, go. The minority was COM
posed of 22s Liberals and IS Parnellites:
total. 3l3. The majority OF go Com

The absentees from illness were Mr..
Villiers. Sir +. Milbank, and Mr.. CAT

and Sir Robert Peel. The Liberals
who absented themselves from the
division were Sir M. A. Bass. Captain
