THERE is settled conviction in
the minds of great many reading
and thinking people that the world is
growing better, and the belief is not
without good foundation. One very
favorable indication of this fact is the
attention which the secular press is
giving to religious matters. A weeks
files of any well conducted daily pa
per at the present time will contain
one or more sermons from leading
divines, and it has become a regular
feature of the Monday editions of a
number of daily papers, while many
weeklies also print sermons in full or
large extracts from them. Another
encouraging feature is the number of
revival meetings being held in all
parts of the country with such re-
markable success. 1t is estimated
that during the year 1885 over ten
thousand people were gathered into
the various churches in Tennessee
alone, and with the strong arm of the
press spreading and diffusing the Cos
pei into every nook and corner of the
country, it is reasonable to presume
that the year 1886 will produce a
much more bountifuI harvest in the
vineyard of the Master than its pre-
decessor.
THE year 1886 bids fair to take off
as many prominent and distinguished
personages as did 1885. Wednesdays
papers contain intelligence of the
death of Maj-Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, the Democratic leader in
the Presidential campaign of 1880.
Gen. Hancock died rather suddenly,
at his residence on Governors Island,
New York, about three O'Clock Tues
day afternoon. He was the senior
Major-General Of the United States
Army. The President, in an eXecu-
tive order announcing the death, pays
this tribute to the deceased soldier
ga patriotic and valiant defender OF
his country, an able and heroic sol
dier, a spOtless and accomplished
gentleman. Crowned alike with the
laurels of military renown and the
highest tribute of his fellow country
men to his worth as a citizen, he has
gone to his reward. 1t is fitting that
every mark of public respect should
be paid to his memory. Therefore il
is now ordered by the President thai
the National flag be displayed at half
mast upon all the buildings of the
executive departments in this city
until after his funeral shall have at
ken place."

1T HAS been the custom of the Uni
ted States Senate, since the founda-
ton Of the government we presume,
to hold its Executive sessions in Sc
cret, behind closed doors; a strong
effort is now being brought to bear
upon that body, however, to have
this practice abandoned. tits claimed,
and with good reason, that as they
transact public business, the public
has right to attend upon their de-
alterations. Messrs. Edmunds (Rep.) J.,
and Harris (Dem.), are put down as
the most strenuous opposers of the
measure. 1t is not believed that the
change can beehected at thepresent

torsfavor it, and tits among theproba-
bilities of the not for distant future.

"FoR ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" John Sherman, like
the heather Chinee, is very peculiar.
The President appointed a man
named Leman to pension agency
some two months ago to succeed an
inefficient Republican incumbent of
the office. The contents of a letter
written by Sherman to Leman has
leaked out in which it is broadly in
timated upon an assurance from
Leman that the Republican subordi-
mates under him would be retained,
his appointment would be promptly
confirmed by the Senate, otherwise
the Senate would decline to act upon
the nomination. This is but another
exposure of the infamous practices
the Republican Senators are resorting
to in order to retain fragmentary
power.

A CABLE Project.
Planning to Connect British Column
bia with Australia.

CHICAGO, July 14th.-The "Tribune's"
Ottawa (Ontario) special says: Sanford
Fleming, one of the best civil engineers
in Canada, sailed for England to-day on
behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
to confer with the Imperial Government
and Australian Agents General concern
ing the establishment of cable communi-
cation between Canada, Japan and Aus
tralia, and to ascertain the amount OF
annual subsidy which the Colonies will
guarantee.
Sir Charles Topper will also receive
instructions from the Dominion Govern
ment in connection with a similar
scheme. This is Fleming's scheme,
which the Imperial authorities promise
to support. The idea is to lay cable
from Victoria, B. c., thence either to
the Aleutian or Sandwich Islands;
thence to Yeddo, Japan; thence to
Hongkong, and from there to Australia,
where it is understood here that cable
is to be laid and connected with the Ca
madam Pacific Railway telegraph sys-
tenn.
New Treaty for the ExtraditiOn of
Dynamiters.
An extradition treaty between Eng
land and the United States has been
signed. The treaty provides for the sur
render of dynamite miscreants. At the
British Foreign Office it was stated that
when the matter was ripe communica-
ton would be made to the press in the
usual way, and that the treaty would
doubtless be ratified at Washington.
Further details were peremptorily re-
fused. At the American Legation Sec
retary White refused to admit or contra
dict the statement that the treaty had
been signed, on the ground that the
State Department at Washington was
alone competent to speak on the subject.
He said he was surprised at the indis-
cretion of the British Foreign Office, and
brusquely closed the interview.
