GOV. HoADLY AND CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
A remarkable feature of the address
of Ex-Governor Hoadly, at the Chase
obsequies, the other day, was its refer
ence to the religious character Of the
late Chief-Justice, and the influence OF
his religious faith upon his life and
success. In the early sentences of the
oration the eulogist said of his hero
deeply seated religious convictions,
much study of the sacred books in more
than one language, with a quick con-
science, made him Christian" And
again, in later paragraph, further on,
in summing up his estimate of the
great jurist and statesman, the orator
said:
"What helped him was this: He walk
ed with God. The predominant -ele-
ment in his life, that which gave tone
and color to his thoughts and determined
the direction of all he did, was the striv-
ing after righteousness.
ITO him God was not a name, but a
living, personal presence not the au-
thor of a machine set in motion and
then abandoned, but his companion
and guide, ready to draw near when
sought in prayer, in meditation, in self
sacrifice, in good works and right life.
His God was his master, daily and
hourly bidding him be up and at his
work-trusting to him talents and op-
portunities, not for disqualification,
but for use in the divine warfare, the
royal battle against temptation within
and wrong without. Behind the dusky
face of every black man he saw his
Saviour, the divine man, also scourged,
also a prisoner, at last crucified. This
is what made him what he was.'
This is remarkable testimony, COM
ing as it does from one who, only two
years ago, when writing his proclama-
tion for our annual Thanksgiving, sed-
ulously avoided all reference to a per-
sonal God, and carefully conveyed the
impression that he sustained no willing
relations to any personal deity.-Journal
and Messenger.

MINNESOTA IL an agricultural State, like
Virginia. Her democrats realizing the I'M.
just AID unequal burden put upon them by
the existing protective tariff, have, in State
convention assembled, declared that:
There should be thorough aud complete
tariff reform. The depressed condition OF
our agricultural and manufacturing indus
tries imperatively demands that they should
no longer pay tribute to the monopolsts of
the East The tools Of the laborer and me-
chanic, the raw materials of the mauufac-
turer, the implements OF the farmer, should
not be excluded from our markets or en-.
hanced in price by taxes imposed for the
profit of protected mllionaires. We are in
favor of q revision Of the present unequal
and unjust tariil and it's adjustment to q
revenue basis.
And yet there are farmers in this State,
and people who pretend to be the friends OF
the farmers, who insist upon the continuance
Of the present tariff, the operation of which
not only restricts the market for their pro.
ducts, and thereby lowers the price of all
they have to sell, but increases the price OF
all they have to buy.

TO RIGHT thinking people it is gratifying
to see good in political opponents, for the
reason that should those opponents succeed
there is no danger Of any irreparable injury.
Therefore, while the democrats of Wiscon-
sin should to a man support the State ticket
OF their own party, they will not be az those
without hope if the republicans defeat them,
for the latter have as their candidate for
Governor tho man who put down anarchy
with the strong hand and they openly oppose
prohibition on the rational ground that "stat-
ute regulations which are not supported by
public opinion are imperative and tend to
bring all law into disrepute."
