SUNDAY

A senseless war has been waged for som
time by several Eastern clergylnen agains,
Sunday newspapers. This war breaks out
periodically along the line of religious con,
ferences, and after being fought out by lay
men over their Sunday morning dailies
peace is permitted to reign for a season
At the recent Congregational general con.
ference in Hartford a resolution was intro
duced ~denouncing the Sabbath dailies. A
Rev. Mr.. Park Of that State spoke against
the resolution, and now he finds himself
the most popular man OF whom the East.
ern papers are taking notice.
In his speech against the resolution Mr..
Park showed that the character oil the
Sunday newspaper was not different from
that published on other days of the week,
unless it be that more OF interest and in
struction was given in the Sunday ISSUE.
He pointed out the blind prejudice which
prevented most c%lergymen from discrimi.
mating between a good paper and a paper
OF evil tendencies, resulting in the condem-
nation of all alike. He recognized the tre-
mendous power of the Sunday paper for
good, and thought it an extremely short
sighted bigotry which by %denouncing them
widened the breach between press and
clergy. 1T is impossible" he said, ito
stop these great engines of good, and re-
hgious bodies accomplish nothing by full
minating against them" Mr.. Park is a
type OF the liberal clergyman who finds in
q departure from the narrow limits OF
prejudice the widening Of his W scope of
usefulness. 1t is a pity there are not more
like him, but it is encouraging that the
of which he stands forth as a repre.
sentative is constantly becoming larger.
common sense and sincere religious convic.
tions are not incompatible, but some clergy |
men eJe q long time in finding out that
fact.

The commission vas given to Carl n
Niehaus, a young Cincinnati sculptor of ris.
ing fame. His design for the Garfield
statue to be set in the rotunda Of the Capitol
at Washington had already been accepted.
Niehaus' models are by far the best
representations Of the lamented Ohioan
chat have been made. Their point Of
excellence is the realism of the large
neck, the broad shoulders and deer
chest. The work has been objected to
somewhat on this account, but this was
Garfield. He was a man, and very much of
q man, no scrawny ascetic and dyspeptic.
Those who would idealize him make a mis-
take.
MI. Niehaus went to Rome in 1SS4to make
studies for the Cincinnati monument. He
has lately returned home with his task 40
complished. The statue itself is nine feet
two inches high. Those who knew Presi-
dent Garfield will recognize in a glance ut
the illustration the faithfulness Of the like
ness in face and attitude. He is represented
as making a speech.
The figure was cast at Rome, in the art
boundary of Bastinelli It will be placed
upon a high pedestal.

A leading knight of Labor, who was a
member OF one of the most prominent com.
mittees at the Richmond convention, makes
this statement as to the political purposes
of the organization: 1.-THE Knights are de-
termined to affect a thorough organization
for political purposes. They will have am.
pie time to show to the people OF the
United States that their objects are all le-
climate and constitutional, and can be
accomplished by simple le~gislation. They
also propose to show to the people that
the bugaboo Of anarchism cannot apply to
them. The anarchists themselves will be
the first to cut loose from the labor move
ment. The organization will be simply for
the purpose of e~ffecting necessary reforms
in the labor system and the regulation of
the relations between capital and labor. A
platform which shall cover a few points will
be all that will be necessary, and the or
ganizatioD does not propose to cucumber
it with unnecessary issues. They will avoid
any matters that might create dissensions
in their own ranks, and in this special ref
erence is made to the tariff"

have become very literary. Most OF the

are getting to be regular book.worms.

all tho existing facilities, and to

ment to all tho existing facilities, aad t.
require more besides.
Among the larger systems Of railway
the work of adding new mileage 10 going o.
on . scale Of magnitude hardly ever bsfors
| equalled. The extensions new building OF
in contemplation in the immediate future
embrace Thousands Of miles. The work ol
construction il done much mere rapidly
nov than formerly, because, a. . result d
experience and greater proficiency, We lay
as much track in a week a. We used to lay
in a month. The low rate, tso, at which
the large railway companies al borrow
money has greatly increased the induce
ments and facilities to enter on the work OF
new construction.
Thus a large number Of companies are
actively and simultaneously building new
mileage, and the question is whether new
territory is being settled and developed
on a scale commemorate with the in
creased transportation facilities in pros
pect. It is obvious that in the develop.
ment of our Western territory production
and consumption are both increased. and
new wants have to be met and supplied
while a larger interchange Of commodities
takes place. Manufactures and mines also
have to be worked on a greater scale, and
the whole field of industrial operations ex-
tended aad enlarged.
In view of these facts and their bearing
on the situation, comparative figures show
ing the progress OF the movement from
year TO year will be both useful and inter-
esting. The figures OF the Government Land
Office show that during the present year
Is, 800. 942 acres OF landhave been entered
upon for actual occupation and settlement.
This is an increase OF about $50, 900
acres over the figures of 1885, and 6,OOO,-
900 acres over those of 1882. Prior to
1878, the figures only ranged from $780,
900 to 100000 acres from which it can
be seen how much greater the annual
acreage is now than then. It is evident
that SO long as settlement and development
at this rate, the field of railway op
must constantly expand in re-
spouse to the growing requirements of civ.
lizatiou.
Yet the new land movement was large
lot alone during 1886 but during the
OF the last four years. Fol- these
our years the takings aggregated 69,457,-
$50 acres. Much of this land is only Just
to bear full results, and much
more of it will hardly begin to be produc.
i've for a year or two to come.
We have, therefore, bright promise of
railroad development in the
reat West. From it's vast Importance as
freight center Butte cannot escape the
ttention OF any road passing neal it and
re confidently look to the time-and that
1 the near future-when this immense
mineral section will be pierced by several
ranscOntinental lines.

Engagement Rings aud LoVer's
Bouquefa.

In all things fashionable in l.ersonal
apparel, France is the authority par
excellence. and with regard TO engage
ment rings. which are said to be mostly
required at this season Of the rear. one
of the oracles delivers itself thus: The
first of the presents which must be
made 10 an afianced bride ought to be
the engagement ring; this must forever
be kept by the woman; it IS the first
openly allowed gage Of love; it should
be of perfect taste and at the same
time not inconvenient to the wearer
(which remark, considering that the
custom OF marriage de eonrefianee is
sail very much adhered to in France,
has slightly sarcastic tOne). would
not choose the ruby: IL Is too snowy,
loud and indiscreet. My taste I.ac,inrs
toward The sapphire and the diamond,
of which the one does not 90 well with
out the other. 1 should llOt choose 8
large sapphire surrounded By dia-
monds: should ask our Jewelsr-artists
10 interlace in happy combination the
sapphire and the diamond. The ttIr
quoise IS also tasteful stone, but when
Z is constantly worn it has the immense
disadvantage to change its color, and
to this change most women attach a
sad and sentimental superstition. II
should. therefore, not be chosen for the
first present, which is worn and cher
ished while life lasts. and which remains
from the days OF youth while every
thing else changes"
Another subject which the merry
month OF May suggests 10 he same
writer is the presenting of flowers By a
man TO his intended wife. The orthO
dox basket OF flowers composed by the
florist is known TO all the world. IF
the finance is a man of any taste, he
will always vary his flowers according
to the.conversatiOn he has had with his
lady on the previous day. He will know
how TO make delicate illusions in the
flowers he sends, for have not the flow
ers their language7 The stalks of the
flowers he will encircle one cay by q
pOrte-bonheur, another day, by a couple
OF those pretty snakes (alas alas
which so gracefully coil round the arm,
and again, he Will throw some diamonds
into the calyx of the roses favored by
the lady. / recommend above all not
to be monotonous in your choice OF
flowers. Show Lnet you have occupied
yourself with Il choice, and that to
conform to custom is not the reason for
your present of flowers. "-EE.
