A ST. LOUIS clergyman of brilliant at
tainments has created some excitement in
religious circles by a vigorous denuncia-
ton of creeds. His congregation stands
by his hetrodoxy and the church proper
gives him opportunity to withdraw from
communion with it. Whereat the local
press treats the matter as one of surpris-
ing, not to say startling interest But
there is nothing new in this secession.
Men have been breaking away from ortho-
doxy day after day for years. There is
simple justice in the church suggesting
the retiracy of one who disbelieves its doc
trines. 1t is unthinkable that anyone
should wish to remain in communion with
body he believes to be in error. There
is no martyrdom in the case. The church
Is right in demanding the withdrawal of
a non-believer; the non-believer is wrong
who denounces the church and then COM
plains of being cut off. If he disbelieves
it is his duty to retire, for the truth does
not demand that he shall remain under a
creed to which he cannot subscribe. Free
dom of conscience and speech justihes
his right to declare his non-belief, but it
does not crown him with the martyrs
wreath because the church he denounces
refuses to follow him. We fail to see,
therefore, why the St. Louis clergyman is
entitled to any more sympathy than the
man who breaches what he believes to be
truth and has not been related to
church. The truth stands independently
always. 1t needs no props, and demands
nothing except what by its own vigor and
force it proves to be its deserts.

harbor and river improvement. Inc chiei
gain to the country will be economy OF ex-
penditure by reason of rapidity of exeeu-
ton. The army officer never moves rapidly
in these matters. He has so much report
ing. and saluting, and observing of courte-
sizes to keep before his mind, that few IF
them ever live to see the works they Pro-
iect completed. Under the new scheme
the War Department will still be the chief
authority, but the Bureau of Engineers is
to be composed of army officers and dis
tinguished civil engineers in equal num-
Der. To induce the very best men in the
army to seek places on the new Bureau,
very liberal salaries are provided. While
we have not the text of the proposition
before US, the outline of the scheme re-
ported favorabiy impresses the mind. Our
rider snd harbor systems of improvement
have become so great, that special

end to the 'riding" of river and harbor
bills, that now SO largely defeats action
that ought to be taken, and wastes great
sums of money upon unimportant objects.
That is to say, whenever bill is intro
duced to improve great river or preserve
a valuable harbor, score of "riders" in
the form of amendments are proposed pro-
viding for sums of money to be expended
on creeks, trout brooks, and Indifferent and
unheard-of ports and harbors in a score of
Congressional districts. The members who
propose the "riders" thereby say in effect
to other members: "Vote for our amend
ment or we will kill the whole BILL" And,
in fact, they sometimes do put worthy
bills to death because "riders" are stricken
of, and the scattering of public money in
election districts under the pretense of do
ing public work is prevented. The pro-
posed new Bureau would be an efficient
means to enable Congress to speedily ascer.
tain the merits of every rider" to general
river and harbor bills, and thus practically
kill the 'rider" system.

81 always thought the church was sup
posed to help and support poor widows
and orphans, and when l heard minister
of the church openly denounce prohibit
ton, I. SIS Christian, consider it a vile and
base crime; but when the man ranks so
high as Bishop, think he is guilty of a
very vile crime indeed and as a hindrance
to the church instead of support. They
speak of the increase of the good cause OF
the church, but when Bishop is allowed
to openly and publicly denounce prohibit
ton 1 think it shows great decrease"

UNLESS there is substantial unanimity
in community demanding the enactment
of a law, 1t is folly to attempt to pass it or
attempt to carry it out if passed. The
Iowa Prohibitionists have just met and
resolved, in sounding phrases, that the
Legislature must make provision for the
rigid enforcement of the prohibitory law.
They lose sight of the fact that their de-
mand is in itself a confession that the law
is disregarded, and, if it is. then the COM
munities of Iowa sanction such disregard.
No other conclusion can possibly be
reached. In the main they have learned
at last that the essential predicate to the
enforcement of law is the existence of a
friendly moral sense of the people behind
it. Without that, no law can be made
effective. Here we have the Portland
Press remarking upon raid made upon
two saloons in Bangor, and saying that it
amounts to nothing, since the press of that
city do not approve of the enforcement of
the law, and the people do approve of the
position of the press.
THERE is remarkable periodicity in Cos
sip concerning the annexation of the
northern Mexican States. 1t appears to
have revival about once in five years.
In every case the same old ground is gone
over, and the familiar arguments with not
even change of raiment are trotted out.
The fact is, the people of the United
States have not at any time since the sug-
gestion of General Grant that we buy
Hayti, manifested any desire to acquire
new territory. In no political or COM
mercial body has the matter had the
slightest consideration or been the subject
of any expression. On the Mexican side
of the line neither has there been express
sion made indicative of desire on the
part of the people of any section
of Mexico, to be attached to
the United States. Where both
parties are thus satisfied with the
normal condition, what profit is there
twice in every decade in dragging the
matter to public attention? The truth is
that it never has been, and should not be,
the desire to acquire Mexican territory.
We have no use for the soil, and less for
the people. We are not touching elbows
yet in the present domain, and until we
are crowding shoulders no policy of acqui-
sition of any Mexican State, by conquest
or purchase, is likely to be projected into
our politics by any demand of the Ameri-
can people. Really there is nothing in
the present talk" about acquisition of
Mexican territory, and our neighbors on
the south have nothing to concern them
selves about in the revival of this old, old
chatter. 1t must be expected to rise out
of its tomb and stalk about twice in every
decade, but it is really less dangerous to
the integrity of Mexican States than the
waning of the moon.

WILKES BOOTHS PROTECTOR.
Thomas A. Jones Tells Why He Shielded
Booth.

BALTIMORE. January 31st.-The Herald
Tomorrow will have the following:
"Thomas A. Jones. the Marylander, who
refused reward of 100000 to betray the
whereabouts of Wilkes Booth, the assassin,
who killed President Lincoln, was in Bal
timore yesterday. He said: 1t was re-
ported at the time that Booth was secreted
in the old Catholic Church, at Port Tobacco
Point, now known as Chapel Point steam
boat landing, but such was not the case.
He was at that time hiding in pine
thicket about mile and half from my
friend, Samuel Cox. All l did for Booth
was done as a mark of friendship for Cox,
who was a lifelong friend of mine. l did
not know Booth, but when Cox put him,
crippled as he was, in that pine thicket in
my charge, nothing could have tempted
me to betray him."

equal amount of work laid out upon it in
proportion to its size. The first story OF
the main house is built of stones Of every
conceivable size, shape, texture and color.
which were given the owner by his many
friends. They came from all parts of the
compass, many of them from long dis
tances, and some are very valuable. The
effect is novel. but the stones are so ar
ranged in regard to color that it is very
artistic. The house has been discussed so
much that Mr.. Stetson has often been
weary of giving information about it.

A reporter overhauled Sam Ginsberg,
who with Mr.. Enright, owns the Sacra-
mento Baseball Club, and as the two rode
out ] street the smiling Samuel was
quizzed about baseball matters
WELL" said Mr.. Ginsberg, II can't tell
YOU very much about the details of next
years management, because we have put
the entire control of the team, so far as the
players go, into the hands of Mr.. Zeigler,
our Manager. When he thinks player Is
not doing right he will be privileged to re-
lease him, and the player need not run to
Mr.. Enright or myself, because we'll not
listen to him. Too many cooks spoil the
broth every time. That was pretty clearly
demonstrated last year, when ten men
owned the team, and all of them wanted
to boss it. A Manager is not Manager,
unless he has the power to sign and release
his own players. We believe that we have
a capable man in Mr.. Zeigler, and are not
afraid to trust the team in his hands.
but at the same time all this is not
going to prevent us from having team of
the kind that we started out to have. Our
first care was to get a gentleman for
Manager. Then in giving him authority
to engage players for our team, we told
him to spare no expense, and to sign none
but gentlemen for our team. We will have
already signed, from what we can learn of
them, will assist greatly in elevatiDg the
tone of baseball in this city, and get it out
of the condition it was unfortunately push
ed into last year.
"Then, besides all this, our men are
going to play ball to win, and they will be
offered every induceme"t to land the pen
uant in Sacramento this year. For in
stance, for every three games they win out
of every five, we will add ten per cent. TO
the monthly salaries of every player in the
team. Then at the end of the season, if
thew win the pennant we will present them
each with s75 suit of clothes of any cut
or pattern that they desire, 10 be made by
the best tailor in town. This, in connec-
ton with tie prizes offered by the league
and private persons for the pennaut win
ners, ought to make them hustle all
through the season.
I'VE will keep the whole team at the
Capital Hotel throughout the season.
Every night they will have to report at the
athletic club and exercise for couple of
hours This will keep them out of saloons,
and will keep them in good condition con-
stantly for work
