PRESIDENT HARRISON seems to have been
unfortunate in the selection Of our minis
tiers to foreign courts AT least two have
turned out to be conspicuous hunkies;
and it would be difficult to think Of any
thing more revolving to a refined and
educated American citizen than hunkysm.
Mr.. Smith-and we are sorry to say that
he is journalist too-who misrepre
sents us at st. Petersburg, recently sent
an editorial to his paper, the Philadelphia
Press, in which he covered the Car with
the most fulsome adulation, saying among
other things that his morals were pure,
his administration wise and just, and that
altogether he is model monarch-all of
which is VIGOROUSLY untrue. Now here is
Minister Phelps, who misreprescnts US at
Berlin, rendering the young Emperor
William the same loathsomc service.
Such putting princes would he undignifed
and unbccoming in Minister, were it
deserved. 1t becomes disgusting with the
revelations of Mr.. Keenan, before us in
the one case, and the despotic character
of the German government in the other.
For the latter, King William may not be
entirely responsible, but there is nothing
in his rule that justiies an American
minister in going out of his way to humil-
late himself and the country he is sent to
represent. Minister Reid, who is in
stinctively a toady, would doubtless do the
same thing were there King Of France
for him to fawn before.

The coke has bright metallic lustcr,
unusual cell space, and is remarkably
strong. Mr.. Taggart, who for long time
was manager of the Connellsyillc Coal
Company, regards it as the best product

This coke, besides having been analysed,
has been thoroughly tested as to strength
and porosity, and is pronounced by capa-
BILE experts to he nearer perfect coke
than any yet made.
For the purposes Of comparison of the

The scepter of empire is rapidly chang
ing in this country from the hand of the
farmer, to that of the miner and mechanic.
An illustration Of the fact may be found
in the relative positic@ of Nashville aud
Memphis. The latter was, until within
the last FIVE years perhaps, the largest city
in Tennessee; but the last census shows
that Nashville outstrips her sister city.

The Coke Analysis.

The Posr has some gratifying intelli-
gence to convey to its readers in general,
but especially to those interested in Big
Stone Gap. Some two weeks ago the charge
of coke was drawn.from the first oven ever
constructed in this section. Since then
this coke has been tested and it has been
found to contain extraordinary properties
properties possessed by no coke which
has hitherto been made at any point in
tie United States. The analysis was made
by Mr.. Andrew S. McCreath, who is re-
garded as the most experienced geologst
and chemist in Pennsylvania. His report

REV. j. VI. McMAHAwAY made an excel
lent suggestion to the Baptist Association
when he introduced the resolution pro-
viding for hospital here. There must
necessarily be some sickness and many
accidents among the working men in the
shops, furnaces, and on the railroads at
Big Stone Gap. Many Of these men viii
come from distance and will have no
regular abiding place, and perhaps no
friends to provide for them in the event
of illness or injury. Common humanity
demands that some provision be made for
their care and comfort 1t was fit and
proper to call the attention of religious
body to such need; and to meet it is a
practical and important part Of religion.
The good Samaritan has been immortal
lied as an example given us by Christ
himself of what is required of His fol-
lowers; and indeed much of Christ's work
consisted in healing the bodies as well as
the souls of men. Unhappily this is the
side of christianity which is too often
sacrificed to the dogmatic and sectarian
side The world is firing of dogmas, but
it can never tire Of good deeds.
THE London Engineering, referring to
the meeting of the British Iron and Steel
| Institute, saws:
"On Tuesday, October IA, the parties
will divide into two bodies, which will pro-
coed North and South, respectively. 1t
will be somewhat difficult matter to
many to make the choice. On the one
hand there will he the beauty of the lakes
and the wonders of Niagara, rendered still
more charming by the advent Of The Indian
Summer; while on the other hand there
will be the iron and coal fields of the
Southern States, which present such
tempting outlets for capital. Many
man desrious to find openings for his
children will choose the hitter trip in
order to decide whether theT cannot Go
better in the new world than the old.
Even those who have not such RESPONSE
bilities may go in search of investments
which will pay better interest than ven
lures of the same kind in England"

A BILL is pending in the British
parliament the object Of which is TO
render liable to corporal punishment
burglars who provide themselves
with firearms for the execution Of
their criminal designs- 1t is opposed
by Lord Esher and Lord Herschell
On the ground that II is barbarousIy
cruel and thst II will not have tire
deterrent effect claimed for 1t. The
London Times, commenting upon
this argument, says: There is only
one explanation Of the obvious in
consistency, which is that many
people Judge Of punishments not by
their fitness for their purpose, but
by the sensations they excite In the
minds Of unconcerned spectators
The allegation that the sort Of pain
which revolts sportsmen will not
deter the burglar from shooting n
policeman IS nothing more than an
expression Of personal indifference
TO the pain inflicted on Others by a
shot, and keen personal sympathy
with the palm INFLICTED by a whip
Upon no other theory can the Tpnos
account for the seeming solicitude
for the burglar and lack Of interest
In his victim. 1t makes the reason
able suggestion, which, however.
will have no weight with Lord
Eshef and Lord Henchell, that the
burglar may avoid The whipping
post by simply leaving his weapons

THE american! The court-martiai
on the officers Of the Enterprise has
been concluded. and It has LEFT a
very bad taste in the mouth OF the
American people. Indeed wherever
in recent years the character Of the
discipline in either the army or the
navy Of this country has been
brought distinctly TO the public at
tention, there have been revelations
which have excited more than a
mild astorisiment. II may be that
a parallel could be found IN the mir
itary administrations Of other coun-
tries; but in no country can they be
so mich out Of place as our own.
There must be something vicious in
the training given at both West
Point aud Annapolis, when the
officers they graduate are less pene-
trated with those fundamental con-
victions on which our system of So
ciety rests than are the graduates
even Of the English military and
naval schools. ..-

UNHAPPY RUSSIA.

INTERNAL agitations have again
broken out in Russia in serious
manner. They are participated in
by the peasantry rs well as by the
students who have hitherto gener-
ally been the leaders in movements
which were calculated 70 menace or
disturb the government. Blood
shed has occurred, 10 advices state,
and it is also reported that an at
tempt, partially successful, has been
made upon the life Of the Gar,
who is said to have been hurt, but
particulars are withheld.
Society is in connection and the
indications are that civilized nations
everywhere are feeling those vibra-
tons which are the harbingers OF
the quick coming and appalling
earthquake. Those developments
which are fOrcshadowed in Russia
by what is taking place
there, and in other countries by
the growth of socialism and
anarchism, are of a character
equally as dreadful, dangerous and
destructive as the earthquake which
30 quickly reduces to debris the
proudest works Of man, or Plunges
multitudes into eternity.
The whole world seems like an
ocean, whose waters, in one place or
another, are always in a condition
Of agitation, more o. less portentious
and menacing. The spirit OF unrest
has reached and spread among even
the Latter-day Saints, who have
hitherto been SO noted for impurtur-
bable equanimity. To such anex-
tent is this true that some Of them
experience difficulty In resisting
those influences which are abroad
among them and which tend TO ex-
element, and n condition at vari-
ance with that in which a man
should preserve his mind, who hiss
been made aware Of the fact that the
Gospel in its fulness and purity has
again been established upon the
earth, and that God is operating to
bring to pass certain events and
purposes which look to the speedy
sp cad and triumphant rule OF
ruth in the earth.

THE POPE AND BRAZIL.

THE Pope has consented TO re
coSuize the Republic Of Brazil, OIL
condition that the latter shall accord
20 His Holiness certain recognition
in respect 10 legislation affecting the
interests OF Catholicism. 1t NAV
seem strange, but II IS nevertheless.
a fact that Catholicism has a better
opportunity TO make advancement
under a republican than under q
monarchial form Of government. A
monarch, in his sphere, is supreme,
and may, il he so determines, check
the progress Of Catholicism in his
domain, to n greater or less extent.
But in a republic, a Catholic ele-
ment, when once Termed, is able to
exet 4 certain sway, and to add
constantly to its strength by the
patient but effective processes so well
known to that church
Hence, while republicanlsm and
Catholicism are sntipodaI to each
ether, the former is favorable to the
spread of the latter, at least in this
age Of the world, for it continually
holds out the prospect thai The Pope
may in time become sufficiently
strong 10 dictate. The Catholic re-
ligion being the dominating one in
Brazil, there exists 4 strong pro-
liability that, in addition to the re-
markable political phenomena it
has already exhibited TO the world,
it will soon afford the spectacle of
an absolute power, that Of the Pope,
seizing a free government, modelled
after that Of the United States. and
making it subservient to the inter
ests Of the great Catholic church.
"MOrmonism" has been accused
Of an ambition in the direction Of
absolute rule, and Of subverting
the interests Of the state TO those
of the church. What Is thus
falsely charged of ''Alormonism,, is
strictly and literally true Of CathoI-
icism, which has recently defined a
policy antagonistic to the religion
Of the Lat;er-day Saints. Ii is not
surprising that the religion Of the
Pope should array itself against that
Of the Latter-day Saints, for in their
essence the two systems are oppo-
sites. The former utterly repudiates
the doctrines that all just govern.
ment is based upon the consent Of
the governed, and that society
should be ruled on the principle of
common consent, while these tenets
are vital to the latter.
When the world sees the Pope Of
Rome recognize and encourage re-
publicanism, it witnesses an anom-
ally; but in the present case of Bra |
I'll, the anomaly admits of an easy
explanation, which is sufficiently
suggested by the exchange Of recog-
iition proposed by His Holiness.
Catholicism is seeking to become
more and more extensively en-
.renched in the New World, both in

1t is credited TO President Brigham
Young that he said, when the peo-
pie first entered this valley he hoped
they should be left In peace for at
least ten years to enable them to
gather strength. The Prophet Jo-
seph Smith not only himself re-
ceived the fulness OF the keys OF
the Priesthood, but he conveyed
them to others, that the work Of re-
demption for the living and the
dead might be conducted uninter-
ruptedly. That labor cannot be
stopped, as il is progressive and con-
tinuous. While inclined to chafe
under the effects Of opposition, we
should remember that we are gain
ing experience which we could
not obtain by any other pro-
cess. We should never forget
that no matter how bitterly We are
assailed, it is not justifiable for the
Saints To cherish enmity toward those
who persecute them. Elder Taylor
continued to show the necessity for
the servants OF God who preside to
possess the unbounded confidence
Of the people, The labors and devo-
ton OF those men were Of nature
TO entitle them TO this support They
were fmbued with, and directed the
