Congressman Patrick Collins, of Massa-
chusetts, having notified his constituents
that he will not be a candidate, the politi-
clans in his district are casting about for
his successor, and it is broadly limited that
the Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan, other
wise known as the slugger, will be entered
IN the race. Sullivan's friends say he could
win either as Democratic or an Independent
candidate. In other words, if the Demo-
Gratis refuse TO nominate this brutal prize
fighter, who hasn't sense enough to make
himself felt in an amateur debating So
ciety, they will run him anyhow. From
Collins to Sullivan would be a long and dis
astroCs fall.

One Difference.

From the Nashville Democrat (Dent)
One at least, of the fundamental differences
between Democracy and Republcanism lies in
their different theories of the constitutional
limits of Federal power the one claiming it to
be practically unlimited, or seeking by insdious
provisions or misconstructions of the constitu-
ton to make it so, while the other would hold
it to the exercise of its delegated powers only.

The admission of Gen. Joseph T. John
ston as a contributing member of the Grand
Army Of tho Republic is an event worthy
of note, and most of the leading papers
recognize it as such. The New York Times
calls Gen. Johnston the most famous surviv-
ing Confederate General, and says: when
the ablcst soldier of the Confederacy is re-
ceived in fellowship by the veterans of the
Union, tho country can't be made to think
war is smoldering in the South, ready to
burst into devouring flame on March 4
next, in case of a Democratic victory"
Foraker and his tribe will not be pleased
with such expressions, but then there are
very few people who care whether the

The New Religions.

lime was when men who failed of
success in other walks of life entered
politics and secured fame and a living
by becoming ward bosses or the re-
tanners of men more successful than
themselves. This field has been So
fully occupied of late that there is a
disposition to enlarge it's borders.
Just now the starting of new religions
seems to be a favorite industry. At
first glance it would hardly seem that
there was any lack of religions or that
any person would be put to serious
inconvenience in finding among exist
ing religions one that would suit him.
With many people indeed there has
arisen an impression that too mapv
shades of religious belief exist already.
Conventions have been held with the
aVowed purpose of welding into one
effective body the various sections of
the Christian Church. But preachers
McGlynn, Pentecost, Benson and 9TH
ers do not believe that there are relig-
ions enough yet, and each proposes to
establish new one. While the Hun
tingtons, Hursts, Dodges, Strongs and
other representatives of the various
existing religious denominations of the
United States are trying to get Chris
tan people to agree and make their
assaults on the stronghOlds of evil as
one body, these seeders from the old
churches will have no union on anv
other terms than the formation ofia
new church piece.
The brotherhood of man seems to he
the fundamental article in the creed of
these otherwise creedless churches
Ihey have this catchword in common
and their interpretations of it indicates
that while their founders claim to be
originatOrs in the religious field, Jack
Cade was before them. To Penteeost
and McGlynn the brotherhood of man
means the right of the lazy and spend
thrift brother to the earnings and saw
ings of the industrious and economical
brother. Naturally the lazy, spend
thrift brethren regard Pentecost and
McGlynn as prophets and their social
ed new religion as the only wav of
salvation-tO themselves. And lust as
naturally the brother who works and
saves his money for a rainy day will
have none of these new religions.
There is another feature common to
this group of new religions that strikes
tie outsider a little peculiar. The
prophets of the plenty for everybody
who works and saves religion do not
find the chasm between themselves
and the enemies of all religion wide
enough to prevent their shaking hands
across it. Pentecost thinks Ingersoll,
who splits on the very name of Chris
tian better Christian than the preach
er who has taught orthodox Christian
ity all his life. What Ingersoll thinks
of Pentecost has not been recorded vet.
One thing is certain, however, and
that is that the new religion industry
is being worked for all it is worth lust
now. That men are going to be made
better or more helpful to themselves or
each other by the multiplication of
these creedless sects is very much to
be doubted. But the new religion
craze must have its day like the rid
den-to-death hObbie of former years.

Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great pub
fishing house of George Stinson & Co.,
of Portland, Maine. The reason of
this exceptional success is found in the
fact that they always give the public
that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At pres
ent we understand, their agents are
doing wonderfully well on several new
lines. They need many more agents
in all parts of the country. Those who
need profitable work should apply at
once. Women do as we'll as men. Ex-
perience is not necessary, for Messrs.
StinsOn & Co. undertake to show all
who are willing to work, not hard but
earnestly, the path to large success.
1t should be remembered that an agent
can do a handsome business without
being away from home over night.
AnOthet advantage-i5 costs nothing
to give the business a trial, and an
agent can devote all:his time, or only
his spare moments to it. Stinson &
Co. guarantee grand success to all who
engage and follow simple and plain d.
rectiOns that they give. We have not
space to explain all here, but full par
ticulars will be sent free to those who

The Lumber Destruction.

In speaking about tariff INEQUALITIES
and discussion, Mr.. Chance said: &" Ev-
cry few days some one breaks out with
the demand for the removal of the
duty on lumber, so that our forests
may be protected from destruction.
They seem to think that if the Cana
dian forests were chopped down to
send lumber to US our own forests
would be left standing. never knew
how erroneous that idea is until I had
a talk on the lumber tariff with Gen.
Alger, of Michigan. He was formerly
Governor, and by the way, he is Vice
Presidential candidate, and would
make good nominee. He is an Ohio
man, you know. Well, the Governor
said that the advance of civilization
had destroyed more timber by fire than
the axe had laid low for mechanical
purposes of mankind. There is a good
deal in this thought. The forest will
go before the axe and fire of the pion-
eer, who wants the soil, whether we
use up the timber or not. Governor
Alger says more timber has been
burned in Michigan forests than has
been marketed"

The Death of "rad" Lincoln.

In February, 1862 this fond father was
visited by sorrowful bereavement. The
executive mansion was turned into n
mousse OF mourning. Death had chosen n
shining mark and the beloved Willie. the
apple of his fathers eye, the brightest
and most promising of his children. was
torn from his embrace. The dreadful
stroke well nigh broke the presidents
heart, and certainly an afliction more
crushing never fell to the lot of man. In
the lonely grave of the little one Law
buried Mr.. Lincoln's fondest hopes and.
strong as he was in the matter of self
control, he gave way to an overmastering
grief, which became at length a serious
menace to himself.
Never was there witnessed in an Amer
lean household q scene Of distress more
touching than that in which the president
and Mrs. Lincoln mingled their tears
over the coffin that inclosed the lifeless
form Of their beloved child. A deep and
settled dependency took possession of
Mr.. Lincoln, and when it is remembered
that this calamity-for such it surely was
--befel him at critical period of the war.
just when the resources Of his mighty in
tellect were most in demand, it viii be
understood how his affliction became a
matter OF the gravest concern to the whole
country, and especially to those who stood
In close personal and official relations with
him. The measures taken by his friends
to break the force of his great grief, and
to restore him to something like his old
time cheerfulness, seemed for o while un-
aValhng.-Ward II. Lamon.

Mrs. CleveIand,s Photographs.

Col. Lamont tells me that Mrs. Cleve-
land has had but few photographs taken
since she has been in the White House.
The greatest number Of the genuine ones
in existence were taken before she mar
ried President Cleveland, and the Wash
ington photographers who have been given
sittings by her have abused their privileges
by taking half a dozen pictures when
they were pretending to take only one.
They would ask Mrs. Cleveland to move
her head this way and that, and thus get
a number more negatives than she in
tended to give them.-New York World.

VOlapuk- The International Speech

Phllologists are favorably inclined.
IL IS said. to volapuk," the new in
ternational language, the grammars of
which are said to be for sale in all the
larger cities, but there is still a large
contingent of persons who believe
English is to be the universal language.

an ingenious individual to serve as a
useful written medium of understand
ing for commercial, scientific and diplo-
matlc purposes. 1T "world-speech"

BODY, and which it is not expected, in
TACT, that anybody will speak in the
future, however widely its use may be
extended. The Arabic numerals
among civilized nations signify the
same ideas to persons speaking the
most diverse languages. Each race
has its own peculiar name for these
numerals, but to all they convey the
same ideas. So of the volapuk words.
IL Is enough to write them they con-
vey the same ideas no matter how you
pronounce them. 1t is not necessary
it is better not 70 pronounce them at
all. The Chinaman, having once
learned that in volapuk ''ji-iam" means
young woman, can by writing the
word convey that idea to. the French
man, the German, the Russian or the
Turk who has studied volapuk, though
the latter may know no tongue but his
mother tongue. The Latin, the Italian,
the French and the English have sue
cessively had pretensions to being or
becoming universal languages, but vol
apuk proposes to displace them all.

EdueatIon Among the ChInese.

AS a people the Chinese males are better
educated than any other race Of people in
the world. Education to n certain extent
is compulsory for all Chinese males,
although the mass cannot do much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. 1t has been the
policy Of the Chinese government for
hundreds Of years to select a certain num-
Der Of boys from each district and educate
them for historians and writers. Their
work is never completed, for as long as
they live and are able to do anything they
continue to study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, ac-
cording to their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED to Office or rank. As a rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in
any civil or military Office pertaining to
the government unless he has succeeded
as q scholar, for the Chinese believe no
man can succeed as q scholar unless he
has ability, and If he possesses ability,

Interesting Facts Concerning the
Manufacture of Tobacco,

Very few users of the weed realize
the magnitude of the tobacco business.
The following figures will, we think,
surprise as we'll as interest MANY of
our readers:
In 1886, according to the report of
the U. S. Internal Revenue Depart
ment, there were 966 tobacco factories
in the UNITED States. These 966 fac
tories manufactured 191 ,592, 24O pounds
OF chewing and smoking tobacco and
snuffs, on each pound of which a tax
of 8 cents was paid to the U. S. Gov
eminent. Of this total the house of
T. Lorillard & Co., alone manufactured
the enormous quantity of q 1892, 28O
pounds, about $4,000 tons, or one-sev-
enth of what it took 966 factories to
make.
This tobacco was sold by 500, Ala
dealers every one of whom, with scarce
ly an exception, sold more or less of
Lorillard's Climax Plug Tobacco,
which is the acknowledged standard
for goods of this class.
The LOrillards began manufacturing
tobacco as long ago as 1850 and have
Tor many years owned and operated
the largest factory in the world. In
the last twenty-one years they have
helped support the United States Gov
eminent to the extent of over $44,7OO,-
600, paid into the United States Treas
ury in Internal Revenue taxes. It is
to be wondered at that there is so large
surplus in the Treasury? The weekly
payroll of Lorillard's factory amounts
to S2O,OO0-a small fortune.
These figures go to prove how much
OF a necessity to mankind tobacco has
become and how the real merit of the
goods has made Lorillard's Tobaccos
the favored above all others and Gil
max, the old reliable" especially
