FEDERATION or PROTESTANT
CHURCHES.

A substantial union of all the Protestant
churches OF this country is one OF the posi-
bil.ties Of the near future The initial step
was taken in 1856 by the House OF Bishops
Of the American Episcopal Church adopting
the declaration that they were ready TO
enter into brotherly conference with all or
any Christian bodies seeking restoration of
the organic unity of the Church" Ii il
believed that the coming revision Of the
Presby terian creed will bring that denoni-
nation into position 10 enter into such IN
alliance. The form that this alliance viii
take is the subject Of anxious thought by
leading divines. II is not proposed 10 en-
croaeh upon the individuality OF any de-
nomination, but allowing them TO retain
their present organizations, 20 unite them
in federation" which will have a leciala,
tive council and an executive. AS to the
executive there 10 a wide, but not irreconcil-
able difference Of opinion. II is hoped that
by dlscussion a plan OF union can be
formulated which will be acceptable 10 all,
very productive of good results to the
churches generally, and to the cause OF
religion, and yet which will not infringe
upon the autonomy of any denomination or
diminish the emulation Of all in the per
lormance OF good works. II il to be hoped
that this will be 70. Much good has been
accomplished BY the emulation in Christian
work Of the different sects but much yalu-
able effort has been wasted by useless colli-
sion and duplication Of effort in the same
| field.

New York is excited over man who has
started out to fast for Is days. This is not al
abstinence enforced by having wagered all his
shekels on the anti-Tammany coalition carry
ing the city, but he is doing it for fame. Some
of the physicians describe him as an "ambi-
tious paranoiac" meaning thereby one Of those
troublesome people who have exaggerated ideas
Of their physical OF mental powers, and strive
to DO wonderful things. Other physicians say
he is ng such thing, but simply man Of
fine physique and unusual will-power who
has tyaiEed himself by repeated fastings, with
gradually frightening periods. he is an Italian
named Succi, aud he came into notice some
years ago, when he tasted 30 days at Florence,
under tho supervision Of some Of the noted
physicians of Europe. He claims that he is
able to do this by the strength given him by
a drug which he has discovered and which he
calls Liquor Medicinale Succi." This has
been analysed in London, and found to be
nothing more than chlorodyne, with which ali
physicians are familiar, and known not to
posSess any extraordinary powers. SucCi claims
that his strength increases until the middle of
his fasting period. and then slightly decreases
until the end. lie IS conducting his fast under
the supervision of tho physicians Of Bellevue

OVERWHELMING DEFEAT OF TUE RE-
PURIICANS

otEFtt DEFEAT vi lAb fkEs~
PUBLICANS.
A combination of adverse elements in
flicted m overwhelming defeat upon the
Republicans in the elections which were held
last week in 50 States. Several States, which
have been regarded as surely Republican,
elected Democratic Governors and Legisla-
lures, with the result Of replacing several
Republican Senators by Democrats, and the
House of Representatives was made Demo
cratic by majority which may reach 80.
Various causes led to this To begin with,
there was the discomfort which invariably
follows National victory by any party.
More often than not, the party which elects
q President, loses control of the next Con
gress- Then the new force in politics-the
Farmers Alliancc-played havoc with the
old political leaders North and South. There
was this difference between the two sections,
however: All the Farmers Alliance candl-
dates in the South were pledged Democrats,
while in the North and West the Alliance,
instead of replacing Republicans by Repub-
licans, put Democrats in nomination against
them. Then the Mckinley Bill was made
the most of TO excite the opposition and dis
content. The Republican managers made
fatal mistake in delaying its passage until
period so near to the elections. 1t gave
their adversaries the chance TO allege all
manner of evil against it, without being
confuted 10y the actual operation of the bill.
The same is true of the Disability Pension
Bill The latter had not had an opportunity
TO show how much good il would do the
veterans, and they were disappointed and
angered by the long delay and the failure TO
pass the Service Pension Bill and other pen
sion measures. The Republican party would
have Jared much better if the advice ofTHE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE had been taken and the
bill passed as soon as possible after the or
ganization of the 51st Congress. There was
no good reason why this should not have
been done.
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has TO regret
the defeat of many firm, reliable frieads of
veterans, but it believes in better luck for
them next time. The workings of the Disa-
bility Bill viii justify them, and produce
much better feeling in regard to them among
those whom they have benefited. We are
sanguine that both the Disability Bill and
the Mckinley Bill will speedily demonstrate
their value TO the country, and cause re-
vulsion Of feeling in their favor
