A SERMON FOR PREACHERS

1t occurs now and then that a minister of
the gospel objects to the Sunday newspa-
per, and generally the objection is based on
the ground that it does not contain enough
religious matter to accord with the sanctity
of the day. This objection is never urged
against the GLOBE, because it always
breaches sound orthodox sermons on week
days just as well as on Sunday. In fact,
the GLOBE is not one of these Sunday
Christians-good on the Sabbath and
worldly all the rest of the week-but it is
uniformly good, and makes no effort to ex-
hiblt a special display its religion
on Sunday. 1t is our purpose however.
to preach short sermon this morning, &C
cording to our usual custom, and we are
going to preach it for the special benefit of
the preachers. 1.-THE laborer is worthy of
his hire" is the text we have chosen, and
our attention is directed to the subject from
a report made to the Methodist conference.
recently in session at Philadelphia, that
many of the preachers in that denomina-
ton were living on salary of $500 year.
One of the presiding elders said there was
preacher in his district whose family lived
on per capita of 4 cents a day. If such
was the fact in the wealthy community EN-
braced within the limits of the PHILADELPHIA
conference. it is safe to assume that there
are plenty of starved-out preachers all over
the country. And it is in their behalf the
GLOBE desires to deliver an exhortation.
We start out with the statement that any
man who is fit to be the pastor of flock is
fit to have comfortable living. In the
next place we affirm that it is good thing
TO spread the gospel, but it is better thing
TO be just. 1t looks as if something was
out of joint in church circles when
millions of dollars are going over
the seas for missionary work while
the wives and children of the preach
ers at home are trying to exist on 4
cents day. 1t must be hollow mockery
for poor half-starved preacher whose
salary does not exceed $500 a year to ex-
hort his flock to make liberal contributions
for the conversion of the heather when the
pangs of hunger are gnawng in his own
stomach, and his wife and little ones are
kept from the church because they haven't
decent clothes to wear. He is a noble.
self-sacrificing man to do it, but that doesn't
relieve the church from its duty to provide
for him. True Christian charity begins at
home. The heather who dwell in darkness
can afford to wait little while longer for
the Bible and the missionary; at least long
enough for the church to fill the stomach of
the home preacher, to fill the sunken places

GEN. LoGAN's LOYALTY.

To the Editor of the Globe;
Was JOHN A. LOGAN a rebel sympathizer
at the outbreak OF the war? ]. P. HRALY.
Clontarf, Mimi, March "a, 1886.
That Is delicate subject 10 tackle. as
Gen. LOGAN is In the habit of splitting into
the faces of people who charge him with
having been rebel sympathizer. There
seems to be an impression that, about the
time of breaking out of hostllities between
the North and South. Gen. LOGAN was on
the fence and expressed n willingness TO serve
whichever side offered him the biggest COM
mission. Then.as now. LoaAy wasRh amb-
tious man and liked big shOulder-straps. IL
is even affirmed that there was some cor
respondence between young LOGAN and
the rebel authorities, but as he did not take
up arms on that side il is assumed that the
terms were not satisfactory Ia him. Per
haps the only way TO arrive at the truth of
the matter is for Mr.. EDMUNDs TO call on
the senator from Illinois for his private
correspondence. which will perhaps reveal
the facts in the case. The senate is as
much entitled TO the correspondence Of one
of its own members as ii is to the private
letters of the president. so that Mr.. Ed
MUNDs need not feel any squeamishness In
regard to the matter. 1t is due TO Gen.
LOGAN to say, however, whatever may
have been his sins as a rebel sympathizer in
the beginning. he fully atoned for them aft
erward by some brave fighting on the side
of the Union.

THAT PEACHBLow VASE.

The Baltimore gentleman who professed
to be an art connoIsseur. and paid
the ridiculously high price of SIS
600 for the ''peachblow'' vase at
the MORGAN art sale, must have
had very mean opinion of his art judy
ment when he discovered to what extent he
had been humbugged. 1t now turns out
that the vase was not even peachblow but
is cheap Chinese ware for which the
American Art association paid two years
ago the Insignificant sum of $500.
and the Pekin dealer who sold
it to the associations agent after
ward boasted that he had achieved n
wonderful bargain in selling it to the tray
cling American for such high figure. lie
had offered to sell it to other Americans at
less than half that sum. The vase was
brought over here and exposed for sale at
the rooms Of the Art association in New
York, the selling price marked on it being
$4,000. When Mrs. MORGAN visited the
rooms. so the story goes, the salesman who
waited upon her mistook the selling
price marked on the vase for s12. 600
and sold 1t to her at that price.
The New York Times has investigated the
matter and finds that the vase only cost the
association the sum of $500 and that the
catalogue representation that the vase once
belonged to I-WANG-YE, a mandarin
prince. is false. There are no mandarin
princes in China. A mandarin is a minor
Chinese government official and never be-
comes prince except in art sale catalogues.
As the owner of the celebrated peachbIow
vase ponders over these facts he is doubt
less willing to eXclaim with PUCK, "What
fools we mortals be" especially these gilded
American mortals who profess to be art
connoisSeurs

GLADSTONE READY.

There is no special significance attached
to the designations of CHAMBERLAIN and
TREvELYAN from the English ministry,
beyond the fact that it is an assurance that
Mr.. GLADSTONE will maugurate his new
departure policy IN relation to Irish affairs.
1t has been known for some time that the
retiring ministers have not been in accord
with Mr.. GLADSTONE on the Irish question.
They have opposed Mr.. GLADsToNE's
policy of granting home rule to Ireland, and
their retirement from the cabinet at this
time is only an indication that the
prime minister has mapped out his
policy and is ready to inaugurate
it. The fact that CHAMBERLAIN and
TREvELYAN do not subscribe to the policy
that GLADSTONE has mapped out is a
clear indication that it is liberal one and
that the prime minister is going to be ex-
ceedingly generous in his treatment of Ire
land. 1t is an important step gained In be-
half of the liberation of Ireland when the
prime minister of England is ready TO in
augurate policy which is so liberal i'm its
scope that leading members of the Liberal
party like CHAMBERLAIN and TREvEL-
YAM shrink from supporting it. There is
a bright day just ahead for Ireland.

ALIEN LANDLORDIsM.

Our American exchanges are expressing
some apprehension that the determination of
landlordism in Ireland will result in trans
ferring the odiouS system to this country.
Already good beginning has been made,
and ii looks as If the English landlords were
now disposing of their holdings in Ireland
with view of making investments on this
side of the water. 1t is said that Mr..
WILLIAM ScULLY, who lives in Lon
don. now owns 10000 acres of
farming lands in Illinois, and has
recently purchased 100, 900 acres in
Kansas and Nebraska. He is said to be
fine example of the alien landlord. as he
rents his lands to tenants at a dollar an
acre under very severe conditions and pays
no taxes. We are having trouble enough
