Ministers and the Tobacco Habit


The question whether ministers should
use tobacco has been discussed at various
times in the north, and since the use of
cigars was made an issue a few weeks ago
be ween the pastor of Baptist church in
Plttsburg and some members of his church
it has received considerable attention, not
only in Pitts urg, but elsewhere. The
pastor in question, Rev. E. II. Hammond,
saw that, uIless he either resigned his pas
torate or gave up the use of cigars, split
In his church would probably be brought
about, and he resigned and went to serve a
church whore he could indulge the smoking
habit without mourning the adverse It'll
cism of or stirring up sttife among his
flock.
The discussion of the tobacco question
VIII not go beyond the different congrega-
lions of the Baptist denomination, as every
church of that denomination Is an indie
pc dent society, and rec gnizes no authority
as being higher than its own. In the Meth
odist and Presbyterian churches, however,
it is different. 1t will be remembered that
at the general conference of the Northern
Methodist church last year tie tobacco
question received good deal of attention.
There was wide difference of opinion as to
whether tobacco should be used in any form.
but the fact that no rule on the subject was
established ind Gated that the advocates of
tobacco were i'll the majority. Last year
seventeen presbyteries petitioned the gem
eral assembly of the United PRESBYTERIAN
urch TO call for a vote upon refusing
licenses to applicants for the ministry who
used tobacco. The petitio was not favor
ably CO sidered at that time, but it was re-
newsd this year, was successful. and the
presbyteries are now voting on the ques-
ton. The fact that the petition was
granted shows that the anti-tobacco
clement in the United Presby
terrain church is pretty strong.
I position of those members who do not
oppose the use of tobacco by ministers was
probably stated by Rev. D.. Kerr, who re-
Gently compared the anti-tobacco crusade
to the bad geaeralship of the commander
who permitted his command to turn aside
to attack small detachment of opposing
forces, the defeat of which would not affect
the general result.
The anti-tobacco crusade is confined TO
the north-that is to say, there has been
no open and concerted movement in south
ern churches against the use of tobacco by
ministers, or Others. There is an anti-to-
bacco element in some of the southern
churches, however, but its strength is an
unknown quantity, aud it is not asserting
itself.

The Extraordinarily Harrison Middle.
1t looks IS if the public had not heard
! the last Of the Tanner alzsll matter.
Corporal Tanners grievance against Pri-
vate d ilzell is TIA. he (DalzelJ furnished
for publication a confidential letter from
him. One Of the main points of public
interest in the matter, however. is the
question If veracity which the letter raises
between Mr.. Tanner and the President and
others. Mr.. Dalzell wanted to be appointed
deputy commissioner of pensions,
and he says that be received
letter from the Preside t,
stating that he tie President had spoken
to Mr.. Tanner about the appointment,
which would be left to the co missioner of
pensio S. 1t subsequently followed, how
ever, that thu appointment was dicta ed by
Secretary Noble, and that Mr.. Dalzell was
not appointed. In this confide ltial letter
to Mr.. Daizeil. Mr.. Tanner said: "Now,
once for all, about the deputyship. l want
to say to you that the President never said
one word to me about you.n Mr. Dalzell,
in letter to Mr.. Ia ner after the publca-
ton of the Tanner Letter, says that he
expects to publish the Presidents letter to
him, as we'll as letters from Senator Sher-
man and Representative Taylor. The
public will read these letters vita good
deal Of interest, and probably Mr. Tanner
will be heard from again.
1 ere is more or less speculation as to
what effect the Tanner letter, in connection
with dr. Tanners dismissal from the pen
sion Office, will have upon the Ohio cleo
ton. la his letter Mr.. Tanner said: 'If
the boys, particularly those in Quo, &C
quiesca, it is safe 10 say that Tanner will be
left where he is-ln the soup" This
would seem to indicate that Mr.. Tanner
wanted 'the boys" and particularly the
Ohio boys" to use their lnflue .ce to get
him another and perhaps better appoint
ment. 1t is intimated that all efforts in
that direction will be uAavailing, as the
President is 50 greatly vexsd with MIR.
Tanner for writing the confidential letter
that he will not appoint him to any
other office. Mr.. Dalzell strongly
lntimated the other day that the
Ohio boys" were mad, and, what
was more to the point, that they would re-
main away from the polls at the coming
state election.
Altogether the state of affairs which has
been brought about IS very interesting to

publicans, and it is all due to the fact that.

tina agreed upon BIZ the military CONVEX

to the state.
Nearly every state except Georgia pro-
vides Ii orally for its volunteer militia.

Massachusetts, and in fact nearly, if not
qulte-all of the rtlern states have well
organized volunteer jrces, which are kept

tainly prosperous state like Georgia can

in time Of need, would be ex-
pectod to maintain the peacs within
her limits, and in the event

against invasion until al army could be
