PROF. JOHN STUART BLAcKIE's paper
in the Forum for September on "The
Christianity of the Future" presents
the argument for evangelical religion in
a more liberal spirit than is usually
manifested by orthodox teachers. He
plainly charges that the decay of belief
is the fault largely OF protesting Chris
tians. "Let the persons who lead the
Christian world" he says, ''stamp in
their mind firmly these two principles
first, that all extremes are wrong, and
again, that all religion, as Cicero says OF
virtue, consists in action, and we shall
see the commencement of the millennium
Let people calling themselves Christians
only act consistently throughout the SIX
working days of the week what they
profess to believe on the day of rest, anG
the world is saved"

ton wears ago, when considerable opposi-
ton was manifested to very popular can

he would be defeated, when his friends suc-
ceeded in capturing the organization
with one of their men as chairman. Even
then the indications were that the fayorita
would be defeated when the ballotinQ be-
gan. The chairman, who was farsiRhted
man, finally put quietus on matters when
the nominations commenced, By ruling
that all nominations were out Of order ex-
cept that of his friend.
~.
This reminds me Of an old German friend
who once run in the east for the rather nm.
important Office of coroner. It was his first
experience in politics and he was yerv aen-
sitive to criticism. He had hardly been
nominated before most violent opposition
was started by his enemies. They manu-
featured all sorts of charges against him
and subsidized the newspapers 90 that they
were widely circulated. The old man grew
fairly wild as the campaign advanced. He
was charged with all crimes on the statutes
and had no way of replying. His old
friends refused to recognize him, his family
was socially ostracised and he was fast be-
coming candidate for an insane asylum
when it was suggested that he hold mass
meeting and reply to the charges Of his enc
mics. He spent few hundred dollars for
big red posters, hired brass band and an
nounced that he would speak in such
place on such night and invited all to be
present. Among the attractions was free
beer and as may be expected an immense
crowd was present. The old man
had never before made political speech
and was naturally embarrassed. After
talking in garrulous way about his pedi-
gree and standing in the community, he
referred to the charges made agains him.
Now" he remarked, Il am not de only
man who has been abused and come oudt q
winner. You all rememember eighteen
hundert years ago dere was man abused
pretty bad. His enemies called him every
thing mean, and den dey put him on a cross
and give him trink of vinegar. And now,''
said my German friend in conclusion, with
triumphant wave of his hand, 'dat man
is de most popular man in de country
to-day"

The newly elected governor of Ver-
mont, who pulled through by an uncom-
fortably small majority, is rich manu-
facturer. He had war record, too
that is, he was accused of going to Can
ada during the war to avoid the draft.
This, and the further fact that he de-
feated war veteran in the nominating
convention, may have initiated against
him, although in the neighboring state
of Maine the war veterans who have
sought honors at the hands Of the party
have been pretty regularly defeated.
Anyhow, the Vermont republicans seem
to have been pretty tired.

Among the various changes in this sea-
sons fashions is notably neck wear. There
is nothing seemingly that ladies are so de-
cidedly adverse to. as anything that is in
any manner unbecoming to the arms or
throat. Neck wear is undoubtedly the
most noticeable of the numerous articles of
ladies' wear. The hchu, with but little
changes of some seasons ago, has again
ranged itself in. the front as the latest
agony for the neck. Our attention was
called by an unusual display Of these goods
at the New York Dry Goods store. They
show an exquisite line of fichus, which are
composed of the most delicate laces in
various shades and qualities-imported
goods from the most fashionable emporiums
in the world, and are adapted, as are their
entire line, to the wants Of medium and
high class trade. The New York store also
call special attention to their this weeks

grand line of plush jackets, plush and

A WRITER who skulks under the an
onymity of "Trustee" and whose other
name is probably Howey seeks to break
the force of the serious charges against
the school trustees by counter charge
that The INDEPENDENT Publishing Com
pany secured the county printing al
though it was not the lowest bidder for
the work. Even if this were true we
fail to see how that would clear Howey
& Co., from charges of jobbery.
But it isn't true. The INDIE
PENDENT Publishing company's bid
was the only one before the commits
sioners at the time the printing question
came up. After this bid was opened
and read, and the figures were made
public, the Journal Publishing Com
pany submitted another bid. Such a
proceeding of course was wholly irregu-
lar and the commissioners very properly
continued the contract with The INDIE
PENDENT Publishing Company on the
terms at which the work had been done
during the previous year. If Mr.. Howey
chooses to continue in his vain efforts
to detract attention from his recent
malfeasance in Office he might jump on
Mr.. Russell B. Harrison for taking the
contract for the state printing when the.
publishers of the esteemed Herald
offered to do the work for twenty five
per cent. less. But we must say, in all
fairness, that should Mr.. Howey succeed
in making Mr.. Harrison let 60, the pub
lie would still continue to believe that a
clean sweep in the board of school trus-
tees would be eminently desirable.

ADVOCATES of the German system of
education, with its rigid discipline and
thoroughness, will find facts that tell
against the introduction of such educa-
tional methods into this country in the
statistics Of suicide for Germany which
have just been published. In the city
of Berlin sixty-two children-forty-s six
boys and sixteen girls-have committed
suicide since the LIST of January. OF
this number twenty-four had attained
the age Of Is, fourteen the age Of IA,
seven were only II years old, and one
had not reached the age Of I. In most
cases the immediate cause Of the tragic
act is unknown, but the suicides are be-
lieved to have been due to exceptional
severity on the part Of those in charge
Of the children, whether parents, teach
ers or servants. Is the military spirit
too all-prevailing in the German empire?
