SINCE 1872, when the tariff on coffee
was repealed, the people of the United
States have paid into the Treasury of
Brazil s71,000,00O, the export duty levied
by that country on coffee. The free
traders might wrestle with that for a
change.

THE revision of the Westminster Con-
feSsion so as to eliminate heather damna-
ton, the New York ISun points out,
would affect foreign missionary work
more than most people suppose. If the
heather are not promised punishment
in hell-fire they will not be near so anx-
ious to embrace Christianity; at least
that is the Interpretation to be put upon
the votes on the revision question by the
presbyteries of Asia and Africa. Both
missionaries and converts are for damna
tion-to the unconverted heathen. Be-
sides if the heather are not to be con-
demned to hell-fire, givers to missionary
work will argue, what is the use of spend
ing millions of dollars every year upon
there conversion? The money might be
saved and the work of bringing the
heather around all right left to the
angels in heaven during the heathens
period of probation.

The Bourbon Legislators are scheming
to turn the Ohio State University at Col
umbus into Democratic machine. The
contemplate partisans in that body are
bent on securing patronage even though
every State institution be wrecked in the
accomplishment of that end. State in
stitutions should all be free from parti-
san management, and especially should
this be the case with an educational in
stitution maintained by the State.

only be because few Democratic mem
