and it will help the person who hum

to any church to simply add num-

in private and family prayer, and

Christ-like among men. If any one

and yet is not christian, but is set
tied in his supposed safety-but real
"carnal security" it will be for his
present and eternal good to have
his real unsaved condition revealed

The "Grand Old Man" Gladstone,
is justified in declining to give his
time and strength to even the ques-
ton of the "eight hour day" in Par
lament. The Irish question is of
sufficient Importance, and has been
brought so near the goal by his lead
ership, and is needing his attention
and will until settled. The liberal
lists of Great Britain and Ireland, in-
creasing in numbers and strength,
will not grow less if he refuse to lead
the eight hour movement through
parliament. The letter of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill is significant Of the
coming ''eight hour day." He says
"that eight hours for work, eight
hours for sleep, and eight hours for
recreation seems to be the ideal at
which democratic legislation may
wisely and profitably aim. A work.
ing day Of eight hours would dimin-
ish the number of the unemployed i,
and it would lessen the profits of the
capitalists. If the latter result were
a disadvantage, it would be largely
outweighed by the increased COM
fort and content of the laborers." 1t
is clear that the highest halls of leg
islation are to and must consider the
best interest of the masses. The best
interests of the governments of the
world are inseparably linked with
the highest intelligence, comfort
and content" of the toiling. 1t is
but recent when the agitation of
such a question was regarded as evil
dence of weakness and the agita-
tors were laughed to scorn. Already
they are of international magnitude,
and worthy of parliamentary and
congressional discussion, and may
yet fell or make governments.

Whether the Brazilian Republic
shall be success or not 1t has GER
tainly stirred Europe benifcially.
Henry Labouchere, the leader of the
Radicals in the English House of
Commons, says "that the Gar was
nearly terrified out of his senses at
the success of the Brazilian revolu-
ton. His first step was to stop the
hideous prosecutions of M. Pobe-
donetszeff. The terror of the Sui
tan too, when he heard the particu-
lars of the Brazilian revolution, led
him at once to distribute a large sum
among his Albanian and Nubian
guards" Well it is taas those des-
potie governments do tremble. The
steady march of liberal. and equita-
bic ideas is the hidden but revealing
morally explosive dynamite of the
10th century, that is revolutionizing
empires, and sweeping despotism in
to nonentity as truly as the tornado
sweeps rubbish into oblivion. We
are living centuries in day. Type

w. r. Calhoun, ESQ.

Generally we are slow in rendering due
mede OF praise TO those with whom we come
in daily contact, as much as 1t may be desired.
We may think this is not exactly correct, but
upon moments reflection it will be found
to be substantially true. There may be many
reasons for this, which are more easily seen
than stated. and thought to be sufficient ones.
We have said this as a preliminary to the
statement that our young friend whose name
appears at the head Of this article has quite
recently received some most appreciative no
tices of his communications TO different pa
pers on the great Negro question. These no.
tices have been from abroad and came from
those who are well able to form correct opin-
ion in regard to the merit of a writer. Mr..
Calhoun is energetic and earnest in his wri-
ting and does not hesitate TO express his views
clearly and positively upon subjects that en-.
gage his attention. 1t gives us pleasure to
know that Mr.. Calhoun's views are attracting
on this important subject, which many think
is the question of questions. We do not hesi-
tate TO say that we are not in accord with his
opinions in any sense, but that is not a suffi-
cfent reason for denying that there is force
in them. AS in taste, so in opinions. We
have right to differ. We may have some
thing hereafter to say on this, what seems to
us to be much and unnecessarily belabored
subject.
