SOREBACK ONSERVATlSM.
The Charlotte Democrats Position Ana
lived BY an Unbiased Paper.
Now it has come to pass that no newspaper or
man can advocate or suggest any measure or re-
form that another newspaper or man does not
intimate. self interest. The Charlotte Chronicle
has discovt red that numbers of taxpayers did
not correctly list. their property and advocated
the plan of publishing the returns. The Demo-
crat adds IAN explanation obtained verbally"
from some ore who probably felt conscience
smitten just enough to imagine the price of the
advertising and not the public interest caused
the Chronicles action, and asked Mr. Haydn to
examine and publish the receipts and expendi-
lures of the city; of course, to show how much
Nthe Chronicle has been paid for advertising.
The Democrat does not say the publication of
the tax returns would be good or a bad plan,
but attacks the motives of the Chronicle 10 ad-
vOcatiug it. If the Democrat has any opinion
on the subject, it is hidden behind that over
ridden plea against public expenditures which
has now come to be a sort OF soreback conserVa-
tism not much respected
We are happy to form the Press that
the "explanation was obtained verbally
from Mr. Robert Haydn of the Charlotte
Chronicle, and if he "felt conscience smit-
ten just enough to imagine the price Of
LuC duf anu IIOI GhS PAOiAS AiAEOAo
est caused the Chronicles action" we
chcerfuIIy give him credit for being in
accord with the DEMOCRAT, Tine price
obtained by the Chronicle for advertising
being part of Mr. Haydn's explanation
"of course" it does not require us to re
pair to the Books to learn that fact, but
in asking "Mr Haydn, to examine and
publish the receipts and expenditures of
the city we wished the Chronicle to finish
a "reform" which it claimed to have in
augurated. If the editor of the Press
will examine tho files of the DEMOCRAT
he will find that publishing the city re-
ceipts and expenditures had been advo
Gated months before the Chronicles in
auguration Of this ''reform." AS the
Hickory Press is so conversant with all
the circumstances attending the munici
pal administration, let it give its Oaon
views and relieve the 'soreback con-
servatism" of its cotemporary, and as
distance lends enchantment' it may be
"respected.'

Exp,orer Stanley,

sMr. Stanley" says the great explorers
secretary, "is delightful companion. His
temper is most equable. 1t takes great
deal to rouse his anger, but when angry it
is best to get out of his way as quickly as
possible. Yet he is most generous to all
really in need, and never tires of doing
anything which he believes will be of ben
eft to anyone. When we were at Cannes
messenger came one day and told him
that Mr. Huntington, the American finan-
cier, was lying seriously ill at his resi-
dence, and it was feared he was on the
point of death, and he had expressed a
deep desire to see Mr.. Stanley. Mr.. Stan
ley, though he had hardly a moment to
spare from his book, at once went round to
the sick man and remained talking to him
for nearly two hours. While in Paris we
were simply inundated by reporters and
would-be interviewers, but Mr.. Stanley
would see nobody. Oh, and | must tell
YOU of an incident which occurred while
we we're at Cairo. One morning gentle
man came to the hotel where we were
STAYING and sent in his card, asking TO see
Mr.. Stanley. The porter sent the card to
me. OF course, had only to obey orders,
and told him Mr.. Stanley would see no
one. He went away in high dudgeon, and
the next morning there appeared In one
of the papers three columns of indignation
in Italian-one devoted to anatheme-
thing the porter for not taking the card at
once TO Mr.. Stanley, one for me for not
allowing the gentleman to intrude upon
Mr.. Stanley, and the third against Stanley
himself for not seeing the gentleman, and
for keeping such porter and such sec
retary. And it was all translated into
Arabic as we'll. That will show you how
inconsiderate some people are"

Professionalism in France

Professionalism in France sprang from the
same general causes which gave birth to
similar reactions against the Roman Cath
Ole Church in other countries of Europe.
But, almost from the first, peculiarly sec
cular character was stamped upon the
French movement, partly by the character
of its leader, partly by the early adhesion
of the nobility, partly by the establishment
of the Reformed Churches as separate
political power The leaders of the HUI
guenots were rather statesmen, politicians
or captains, than men of spiritual mind.
Calvanism, with its logical completeness
and systematic theology, quickly stiffened
into an academic, controversial, acrimoni-
GUS form. 1t would be difficult to name a
single book of devotional piety which was
the work Of French Protestants in the six
teenth century. Secondly, most religious
movements have assembled from the people
to the nobility. In France the contrary
process was the rule-Protestantism de-
scended from the mobiles to the people. 1t
was therefore, never, in a strict sense of
the word. popular, but was always asso-
ciated with aristocratic privileges or NUM-
cipal independence. Lastly, the Edict of
Nantes established the Reformed Churches
as an Emporium in Imperio," State
within the State, Protestant republic in
the heart of Catholic monarchy. 1t gave
them a compact organization, based on
representative principles, guaranteed by
some of the strongest fortresses in France.
In word, it materialized and secularized
the faith of the Huguenots.- Edinburgh

Communion and Baptism.

Those who enjoy the privilege of a
weekly celebration of the Holy Com.
munion would find it difficult to carry
back their minds to the time when, even
among the more earnest of the clergy, it
would not be celebrated in their churches
more than six, or at most eight, times dur
ing the year. in the majority of parishes
it would not be more than three or four
times. To illustrate the way in which
this state of things appealed to the lay
mind, | may quote a conversation, taken
down by myself, between the afore-men,
toned church warden and his vicar:
"Sir, there is Just one little matter that
| wanted to mention to you. The former
rector, Mr.. H, he didn't have the
| Communion but four times year. Then
| there was Mr.. M" abiding to one who
is now one of our Bishops, che rizz'd it up
to eight times, and at last to every month
| Now, the people complain o that, sir; SC
matter, and have it eight times, or better
still, six times year; then, don't e see
sir, 'twouldn't come quite so EXPENSIVE
allnding to the cost of the wine.
| While on the subject of the admins.
| tration of the sacrament of the church,
find story in my notebook which. had il
not been told to me by the clergyman tc
whom it occurred, | could scarcely have
credited it. Soon after his appointment
to his country parish in shire, about
the year 1899, he was called to baptize ar
infant. When about to take the child il
his arms he was. astonished to find nc
water in the font, and on asking for it the
clerk remarked in wronged tone: "Why
lor, sirl the void master di'n't never wan
mama water; he did do zo'-licking his
hand.-The CornhM Maqazine

out and shrieked SO that the landlord came
hurrying up the stairs and looking through
the chink of the door, and the attendant
drew back in terror, and the physician
stood helpless for moment.
With the greatest effect the feverish
patient raised himself and cried loudly
and distinctly: "Wretches, you would
think / would rave and betray myself.
Now, just to defy you l shall not do it.
See, with a clear mind, to spoil your
pleasure, / say it frankly: | stole the
money from the merchant Helwig In his

From this moment sensible improvement
was noticed.
The nurse told incidentally about the
strange occurrence, the landlord spoke Of
it, and so it happened that the young at
torney had the satisfaction before the ex'
piration of the period of limitation, of re-
deeming his previous failure.
| The first caller which the convalesceni
received was the attorney. Without sur
prise, cold and quiet, he received him and
made his confession.
Afterwards he tried several times tC
drink of his medicine with one draught
but he was prevented from doing so.
So he was able, after few weeks, to ex
change the sick chamber for the prison
cell.-Aadntd Constellation
