nlsoREpIrAeLe PROMINENCE.

DlSCkEDl ABLE FhONlNENOE'
The howiers at senator Higgins are
getting tired. He moves on in thu
straight path he has laid out for himself
regardless Of the petty iealousies Of a
few Republicans and the malignity of
Democratic disappointment. The howl
over the Republican party win cement
and become solid for 1890 Sunday Star.
The prominence Senator Higgins
has assumed and the ELUSIVE attentions
few Republicans have shown him are
not warranted by the facts The series
of events which resulted in making Mr..
Higgins Senator are too well known
and too recent TO recount. Nobody has
ever accused Senator Higgins of popu-
larity or Of winsome kindness either
within or out of his party. He co1ld never
have received preferment before the
people for anything. Any one of the
candidates for Senator, except Mr.. Ad-
dicks-who was unknown-could have
had and did have more votes than Mr..
Higgins The election Of Mr.. Higgins
caused very notable dissentions and bick-
erings in the Republican party. The
other factions declared. with great
show Of probability. that they had been
cheated. Undoubtedly both Massey
and Treat were more desirable men than
Mr.. Higgins.
Since his election Senator Higgins has
made some Of the bitterest speeches that
ever fell from the lips Of any Delawarean,
of any party, at any time. They were
unprovoked and unseemly TRADES Of per
sonal abuse. Those speeches have given
him notorious prominence. They were
not distinguished by wit. sarcasm OF
statesmanship, but by unseemly rancor.
The appointments made by Senator Hig-
gins are not creditable to his wisdom,
his judgment or to his morals They are
not pleasing to one faction Of the RI
publicans and they cannot be defended by
the other factisn. Hence the case stands
thus Senator Higgins never was popu-
lar and his sppointees and his speeches
have decreased what little popularity he
did have. In neither case has he increased
his hold on the people, because the
speeches we're in bad taste and the per.
sonnel of the appointments were not
good, and do not tend tc
unite the party or to elevate RepubE.
canism here or elsewhere
The significance Of the election Of Mr..
Higgins is not personal, for he is un,
popular; is not due TO his ability, because
he has shown only bitterness is not {
moral victory, because his appointments
have been made on immoral grounds
The whole significance is that he will
come into the Senate like Riddlebergel
came, when q Republican is needed
for the deciding vote, and b,
means which were not creditable I,
any one connected with his elevation
Hence the commotion which has beel
created by the Senator Is fictitious an,
unwarranted by his ability, his inhueuc
or his methods. He is not half so big
man as his partisAns seem TO think
and the sudden prominence into whicl
he has jumped is not creditable to hi
wisdom OF his statesmanships and is dis
creditable TO the respectable Republican
Of Delaware and Of the United States.

Church Growth.

A clergyman writing In The St Louis Re-
public says I'm 1889, when Washington took
the oath, there was one church member TO
every las of the population, which would
give a total Of 2O0.0OO In 1889 there is one
church member TO every three of the popula-
ton, that is, 100000 900 A hundred years
ago there were not Methodists enough in the
whole country to make up camp meeting;
now they number more communicants than
there were then people on the continent A
hundred years ago the Baptists were perse-
cuted ana banned In the north and in the
south, today they are foremost In reputation
and IN adherents. A hundred years ago the
Congregational churches in New England
were part Of the state. their growth and
influence are the result Of their disestablsh-
ment. A hundred years ago the Episcopal
church, which was discredited by its Tory
learnings, and whose parsons were prohibited
from drunkenness by statute, in this year Of
grace is, as becomes the church Of Washing
ton and Madison, a leader in good words and
works A hundred years ago the Presby-
terian church was supported, measureably,
by lotteries; these have long since disappear

It would be hard DO tell bow the cruel and

A Good crIticlsrn.

Historical pginters encounter certain difi-

to avoid In seeking to produce great effects
they often become theatrical This was what
Mr. Disraeli very finely expressed one day
when he was visiting the Due d'Aumale's
picture gallery at Twickenham. He was
standing before two pictures hanging very
near each other on the wall, "La Mort du
Duo de Guise,n by Paul Delaroche, and 10

claimed, pointing 10 the hsst, ''this is drama y

THE trusts are almost universally &C

pressors. The exceptions to this rule
who have had the hardihood to declare
In favor Of the trusts are Secretary
Blaine. who is more impulsive than wise,
and Andrew Carnegie who is benefc.

ted on the New York; Stock Exchange
and the policy Of the Republican party is
constantly fostering them. The public
has very little idea Of the vast sums Of
money invested in these schemes for put
ting up prices by means of the inevitable
-'corners" which the ''home market the
ory and practice makes possible. There
are only few trusts which are possible
without the high tariff There are thou
sands which can only exist because Of the
tariff tinkering which fosters them.
