The Boston Journal, in an editorial
commendabie for its spirit, very prop
erly denounces the vulgar pamphlet
abusing the President which has been
circulated among the members of the
st, Louis Convention. But it is mis-
taken when it says "that no one can
accuse any Republican of having had
any part in the miserable affair."" The
person who wrote the pamphlet, and
who is now in st. Louis distributing
it, is William Berry, a reporter of the
New York Tribune. The conductors of
that journal have known of the dirty
business in which Berry is engaged for
some time past, and one of the heads
of its counting-room, just before he
went to st. Louis, gave him money for
for his expenses on the trip. This in
formation may surprise the Boston
Journal, but it will surprise no one
who kno vs. the devious courses of the
Tribune and the dire necessity of pre-
venting the, renomination of President
Cleveland, which its conductors have
felt.-N. Y. Times.

There are those among the good
Methodist preachers who seem inclined
to doubt the wisdom of the five-year
limit which was agreed upon by the
General Conference. Under the old,
old dispensation the preacher who had
fifty-two fair sermons and as many
lectures could get through his work
with considerable credit to himself and
usually with spiritual profit to his
flock. The three.y year limit increased
their u DIRK just three-fold, and now the
frightening of the term by the addi-
ton of one hundred and four more
Sunda avs makes just that many .iore
sermons necessary. A serious problem
among the brethren is how they are to
keep the mice from mutilating their
manuscripts TO such an extent that
they will not be obliged to write fresh
ones for every charge they receive. 1t
is troublesome question, truly. and
the current price of store boxes does
not aid in its easy solution, either.

The manufacturers of the silly sland-
ers about President Cleveland and his
family, of which we print the final ex-
posture to-day, made the great mistake
which nearly all compounders0f "cam-
paign stories" are guilty-of putting it
too strongly. 1t was bad policy to
make the Presidents conduct in his
home so very outrageous, and Mrs.
Cleveland so frightfully unhappy, be-
cause this les to instant arrest and con-
conviction, while they might, by mere
ly limiting and winking and pretending
to know more than they are willing to
tell, have gone on for two or three
months without being caught or
brought to book. 1t is melancholy to
see that, as four years ago, the leader
in this filthy and shameful business
was q minister. 1t was Reverend G.
III. Pendleton a Baptist minister of
Worcester, Mass, who brought back
from a ministerial visit to Washing
ton the disgusting fables about the
Presidents orgies" at the White
House, and his brutality to his wife.
Since Mrs. Cieveland's crushing letter
MIR. Pendleton says he is sorry, that he
did not say all that the reporter made
him say, and got promise from the
reporter not to print what he did say,
and offers with q whine, to apologize
and vote for Cleveland this year by
way of explanation. But he cannot
mend matters in this way. He aggra.
Yates his offensp by offering Mr.. Cleve-
land his vote. The best atonement he
can make is to vote for Blaine, or
.sTom' Platt or somebody of That sort.

The New York Weekly Post, in re-
ply to letter from subscriber charg-
ing it with Inconsistency in supporting
Mr.. Cleveland on a tariff issue, in spite
of his failure to fulfil all his civil-serv-
ice reform p,omises-the principal bas-
Is on which the Post supported his first
candidacy-thus defines it's positions:
'If we saw the smallest chance of
CIeveland's being opposed by any one
who would carry out or come any
where near carrying out the pledges
Cleveland made in 1884, we should not
be prevented by any concern for the
tariff from supporting him. because we
know well that tariff reform is not
within the Presidents reach, while
civil-service reform is. But we see no
prospect of anything of the kind. In
the present condition of the Republi-
can party we see no possibility of it.
If the Republican convention nomi-
mates fiji man it will be with the in
tention of knitting him; if it dominates
a bad one, it will be with the view of
using his clothes to disguise the WELL
known features of James G. Blaine"

The Hon. Mr.. Allen of Michigan did
US the honor to quote paragraph from
the EVenin0 Post in his hIgh-tariff
speech in the House. We will return
the compliment by quoting few words
of his, which he in turn lad quoted
from the speech of the Hon. Ezra B.
Taylor of Ohio as something so over
whelmingly strong that he Mr.. Allen)
wanted to adopt them as his own, Just
as the English squire in Parliament
said ditto to Mr.. Burke. This is the
ennobling sentiment "taken over" by
Mr.. Allen:
Can we sell glass in Belgium, silks or fine
cloths in France, cutlery in Sheffield, cot
tons in Manchester, iron goods In Birming-
ham, r ships in Liverpool or Glasgow at our
present rate of wages? We can as well reach
that Eldorado of the free-traders' dream,
the market of the world, with our tariff on
as off, if we can sell needed commodities
cheaper than others.
Of course Mr.. Allen and the great man
from whom he quotes knew that it
makes some difference to a manufact-
urer who is reaching after the markets
of the world whether he has to pay 60
per cent. duties on wool. for example.
Taking the dutiable list in the aggre-
gate, it makes a difference whether he
has to pay an average rate of tax of
AZ lilo per cent. on what he buys and
consumes or not. AT any rate he thinks
go, and those who are really striving
after foreign markets say SO. But Mr.
Allen and Mr.. Taylor want US to un-
derstand that this striving after the
markets of the world is utterly Utopian,
or, es it is candidly put, free-trader's
dream" And now comes the Rail
road Gazette of May 25th with the an
nOuncement that the colonial authori-
ties of New South Wales have given a
large order for locomotives to Ameri-
can manufacturers, who had put in
their bids in competition with English
manufacturers. 1T appears that the
editor of Engineering, an English
journal of Tepute, takes this i'm bad
part, and thinks that the authorities
of New South Wales have made a
mistake in awarding the preference to
American builders, because if there is
anything that England can build well
and cheaply, it is a locomotive engine.
So ii appears that the Eldorado of the
free-trader's dream is already reached
as to locomotives, and we may add
that any American travelling in Eng
land, stopping in Birmingham, for in
who has occasion to visit
hardware store, can find good many
articles of American manufacture for
sale there. What the Utopian free
traders want is not so much to intro
duce American articles into the mark
cts OF the world-for they are already
there-aS to increase the number and
quantity of the same. And this they
expect to accomplish, not by reducing
wages, but by lessening taxation.-

PREsBYTERIANs NOT TO UNITE
The Louisville Branch Adopts Resolu-
tiOnS on the Subject.


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 27.-The Presby-
terry Of Louisville has adopted the follow
ing concerning a union of the Northern
and Southern churches: "In reference to
the question of union between Presby-
terian churches in the United States, com
monty designated as the Northern and
Southern Presbyterian churches, the Pres
bytery Of Louisville, now in session, ex-
presses the following Judgment, viz. ::
Until our Northern brethren can see their
way clear to adopt the policy of organizing
the colored people of the Northern States
into separate churches, presbyteries and
synods of their own, and until there shall
be a clearer and fuller understanding
| brought to bear upon the minds of many of
our people in reference to their interpreta-
tion and application of those points of our
common ecclesiastical law that now deal
with secular and political questions, we judge
| that the quiet, peace and prosperity of both
churches will be best secured by ceasing to
agitate or prosecute the ques-
tioa of united organization, at least
| for the present. We have reached
this judgment from opinions expressed
among ourselves, as we'll as opinions and
| judgments that come to us through vari-
Gus sources from different parts of our
Southern church. Whatever, therefore,
desires of some of the members of this
| Presbytery in regard to the great question
of an organized union, yet for the sake of
harmony and to await the unfolding of
Gods providence in the future, we do all
now join the above expressed
Judgment, and while expressing
ourselves thus, we at the same
time affirm that we cherish toward our
northern brethren most kind and frater-
mol feelings. We admire their learning
and ability, acknowledge their piety, zeal
and enterprise il preaching and extending
the spread and triumphs of the gospel, COM
mend their interest in and their labor for
the intellectual and spiritual advancement
of the Southern culored people, believe they
are of like faith and order with ourselv yes,
and do therefore most heartily rejoice in
their growing power and prosperity. Their
standards of doctrine and church order
are our standards, whatever differences of
views may obtain between them and us
in reference to the exact Interpretation of
few of the points contained i'll those, and
hence their success everywhere is, IN part
at least, our success. We are one in the
true scriptural sense, even in the absence
of a visible or accomplished organized

For a year past the divorce suit of Leety
Thebaut against Bartolo Tbebaut has been
in the courts here and attracted a great deal
OF attention. The masters have taken testi
mony by the "bushe" and submitted it to
the courts, and at times some very exciting
incidents have occurred during the pending
of the suit. The costs in the
case have reached over $1,000, all of
which have to be paid by Mr.
Thebaut, by order of the court because the
plaintiff was without means. The case
was decided by Judge Baker, on Tuesday
last, by a decree in chambers, denying any
relief for alimony to Leety Thebaut, and
granting an absolute divorce to Mr.. The
baut. The reading Of the testimony and
hearing Of arguments occupied six days,
and was the longest contested, perhaps, of
anV case in this county,.

urged the chamber not to abandon to ruin

were unreliable, and that a canal with locks
could not verify his predictions. [Applause

M. Therenet said he was convinced that
the canal would be completed, and he asked
by whom, and with what funds 1t should be-
finished. IL the Chamber refused to sane

the canal was a priv ate undertaking, in
which it was no part of the governments

in any way assuming responsibility for a
private enterprise.
NJ Barre opposed the bill and moved that

of Count de Lesseps the precise details OF
the company's position and an exact state
ment of its accounts. The motion was re-
jected.
M. Marold declared that the committee
accepted M. Merillou's amendment forbid
