owes her present position, sucn as 1t is,
and some can it Il high ono, to Christi
auity and the influence of the Teutonic
mind Principal Donaldson says he used
to believe this himself Then he investi-
gated it thoroughly and found that not
only Christianity in the first three CEN
turies did not free and elevate women,
but that, "on the contrary, it tended to
lower their character and contract their
range of activity"
This, coming from a man so learned
and so thoroughly Christian RS Principal
Donaldson, is remarkable statement.
The degradation of woman, however,
does not come from any thing Christ him
self taught Paul is responsible for 1t.
The Ebionites narrate that Paul was
Greek of Tarsus; that he came up to Je-
rusalem and met and loved the high
priests daughter and became Jewish
proseIyte He then sought the high
priests daughter i'll marriage, but was
rejected This ranl1led in his soul ever
after, SO that he held Il grudge at all
wonlaukind Principal Donaldson says:
Somt, have thought that there is bitterness
against women in the writings Of St Paul which
can be explained only by some such rejection as
that related by the Ebionites
At any rate, tho writings of Paul gave
trend to the woman question in the first
davs OF the Christian church that low

Learning from the japanese.

Rev. Arthur NJ. Knapp was sent by the
American Unitarian association to Japan.
He has returned, and, in a sermon, re-
ported his experiences. He found the
Japanese gentle, childlike and trustful,
with the faults Of children.
Mr.. Knapp goes back this month to
Japan. He will remain there four years.
If he progresses as he has already done
among the Japs, he may return to Amer
lea full fedged in the Buddhist faith as
30 many of his felloW-countrymen al
ready are. In F1r5pe, too, it is fad at

nese have, but that we have well nigh as much to

that Japanese nobleman who, having
travelled all over this country, was asked

Southern Progress.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat an
nually performs a very valuable work
for the south. 1t gives every autumn a
summing up of the industrial products
of the south for the past year. The
progress made in the last year has been
the greatest The Times-Democrat has
yet reported. According to assessors re-
ports, the taxable property of the south
ern states is now S3,759, ,053,367 Since
1880 it has increased nearly rs per cent,
a far better showing than many parts of
the north can make
Manufactures have increased over 100
per cent, ard now amount to S651 ,202,-
900. The south has now 36,396 miles of
railway, also more than twice what she
possessed in 1880 Even with the low
prices in the last few years for almost
everything that grows, agricultural pro-
ducts have increased AZ per cent. in
value.
So much increased wealth will have
cheerful, revivifying effect, not in the
south alone. The whole country will re-
joice in this grand prosperity. Southern
representatives and senators cannot
much longer cG.l attention in congress to
the poverty OF ''our section" Go to!
Let us not hear it more. Even Virginia
can in time pay off her debt with her
peanut crop. The south will, before the
close of this century, be one of the rich
est divisions of the Union.
Perhaps the most gratifying part of
the report is the story of the more than
doubled expenditure for schools since
1880. This year there will be spent for
education nearly S14,OOO,O0O. Truly the
south has spler lid future.

Women in the C:yi! Service.

Women have long way to travel yet
before they establish their equal footing
in the civil service. 1t is a rugged, up
hill road in the bargain. Miss Mary
Alexander, of Philadelphia, last spring
passed the best civil service examination
ever recorded in this country Of any
body, male or female. Her name went
on the list for appointment; it is on the
list still. Miss Alexander has no ap-
pointment Women are not in demand
for anything higher than typewriters
and stenographers, and the lower pay
ing places in the civil service depart

The United States and Canada.


There is TO doubt but some measure
must he taken in the matter of the COM
merciaI relations Of the United States
and Canada. There is a powerful and
growing sentiment on both sides of the
line in favor of freer trade in some shape
between the two countries. Each wants
what the other has to sell. In 1888 the
imports into Canada from the United
States were $9,000 900 greater than from
Great Britain.
Josiah Quincy recently prepared a
paper on the subject of trade between
the two countries which states the case
very clearly. He said there were three
ways of securing freedom Of trade. The
first was by political union, making one
vast country of the United States and
Canada. That is not practicable at
present certainly. Mr.. J. Fl. Beadle.
one of whose strong points as a news
paper writer is hard fact, in tour Of
Canada during the summer found the
annexation sentiment there compare
lively feeble.
The second possible agreement men
toned by Mr.. Quincy is commercial
union, the maintenance of a COM
mon tariff by the two countries against
all other countries. land a COM
mon internal revenue system Of taxa
tion, with some equitable division of
the receipts" This is the popular idea
at present, perhaps, in both countries.
But such union would cripple the
treaty making power of both countries
with other countries. For instance, if
the United States wished to conclude an
agreement of anlity and commerce with,
say, Mexico. she would have to consult
Canada. and thus the treaty making

HonOred In a High Tribute to His Legal
Learning.
" T. Herald, Wash. Correspondence, Jlay l.
The resignation OF Mr.. Benjamin Wilson,
Of West Virginia, as assistant attorney Of
the UBited States was accepted to day by
Attorney General Miller, who Immediately
appointed Mr.. Wilson a special assistant
attorney general to continue the defense OF
the French spolia,ion claims. Mr.. Wilson
has been in charge of these claims since the
organization Of the French claims bureau
in the Department Of Justice, and his con-
tiuuance in the service OF the Government
is we'll merited compliment to a faithful
and valuable officer. In the conduct of
the defense Of the French spoliation
claims for the Government he has won
the highest distinction that could be
accorded a legal mind. Mr.. Wilson
was formerly a Democratic Congressman
from West Virginia, and his retention,
therefore, by this administration empha-
sizes the value Of his services in these i'm
p1rtant claims. The Court Of Claims, in
its opinion upon the general principles in
volved in these csses, delivered May II,
1855. in referring to Mr.. Wilson's argu-
ment, said: THE learned assistant attor-
new for the United States has presented the
defense with a zeal and force Of argument
which We do not find in the history OF the
ngdiscussions it has heretofore received" "
Considering that these claims have been
diseased in and out of Congress for more
than eighty years, and that they have been
discussed and vetoed by two Presidents,
the courts opinion may be regarded as a
handsome compliment to Mr.. Wilson.

standing is that the wire nail manufacture
ers, instead of being 'camly confident"
are decidedly the reverse. In fact, the
change of gauge decided upon by the cut
nail men, so that the cut nails shall count
as many to the ponnd as wire nails, has
fallen like a bomb in the wire nail camp.
The cut nail is acknowledged and has
been proven by government test, TO be the
far superior nail. Its holding power is
far greater than that of the wire nail. The
only hold of the latter upon the trade has
been the greater number to the pound.
Now that this obstacle has been overcome,
the greatly superior cut nail will forge to
the front on the double quick. Nothing
can stop it aad We predict a great boom
for the cut nail.
