"High Culture and Money!

Herr Won Ii, Invalid, German writ
emo friend TO Christianity-is oh
llged TO confess that times of high
culture flourish are always times of
deep immortality: that the socalled
corruption of morals has FASTENED the
downfall of nations.
So says DR.. Gustave Warneck in
his book on Modern Missions and
Culture;" There is culture that
conducts to ruin. Nowhere is there a
culture enduring, truly ennobling and
blessing men withour care of moral
good. We may invent railroads and
telegraphs and telephones, we may
adopt the most rational husbandrv,
and may by the help of the most in
genIous machinery improve industry
to the utterm0St-we may minister to
the most exquisite luxury and the most
rehned taste-we can, now that the
development of culture is in progress,
reach high pitch of material and in
tellectual civilization, without the
moral powers being at all employed in
originating or promoting 1t. But this
one sided, and inharmonious culture is
light which shines indeed, but gives
neither warmth nor life. The we'll
known assertion of Lord Wellington
that such culture, Invested of faith,
makes clever devils, is perhaps some
what TOO strong but it is certainly
true; and it is acknowledged by mat
eriallsts themselves, that purely
material and intellectual culture can
exert no influence to ennoble and bless
mankind. War against Christianity,
therefore, is war for civilized bar
bariSm."

The Call says that after bids for
the city printing had been called for,
some Alderman offered a resolution to
give the printing to the Inter Ocean.
and that the Chairman did not rule if
out OF order, but submitted it to the
council as proper, and that we found
no fault with that action. Admitted,
and what do we finds First of all that
the Chairman knows no more about
parliamentary rules than a hog does of
Greek and is totally unfit to preside at
any meeting of whatever nature. The
resolution was long ways out of ord
er. Secondly, while the Chair did not
Know whether the resolution was in or
out OF order, majority of the council
men did know it was out of order and
very properly voted it down. Hence.
no harm coming of the resolution there
was nothing TO find fault about except
The extreme ignorance of the Chair
man, and that was SO painfully evil
dent TO all, that further comment seem
ed to be unnecessary. Such illusions
as this on the part of the Call only
tends to rivit tighter the chains ON the
culprits.
Henry James Will write of Edwin
4. Abbey, in HARPER's MAGAZINE for
June: Il may as well frankly declare
that have such taste for Mr. Abbey's
work that | cannot affect a judicial
tone about it," Of Alfred Parsons, he
will write: "A sonnet of Wordsworth
is a difficult thing to illustrated, but
Mr.. Parsons ripe taste has shown him
the way" In the same Number two
illustrations of WordSworth's sonnet
The Brook" and nine of the quaint
poem Ounce" by the young poet and
politician of the early part OF this cen
fury, Winthrop Mackworth Praed, will
serve the reader as the texts for Mrs.
James's reviews of the work of Mr..
Parsons and Mr.. Abbey respectively.
