THE CHURCH IN POLITICS.

The election which has Just taken
place in Milwaukee. and i'll which the
Democrats were victorious. has an in

This act Is called the Bennett law. and it
was a Republican measure and approved
by Republican governor. Soon after

against the law and demanded its re-
peal. These elements united with the
Democracy. and the issue was made
on this question in the municipal cleo

the Republicans in state or ma

Several of the chiefs or rulers of the
savage states of Africa have shown good
intentions toward the abolition Of slavery
and its attendant wrongs. In some of
the regions. such as the Congo. the cru
elites and tortures practiced by the an

countries take measures of reform OF
themselves in this great evil, it VIII be
beneficial to them, as it is only a cues
ton of time and events until outside and
civilized powers will see to the destruc-
ton Of a system Of slavery that is con
trary to humanity and painful to the
eve of the civilized world.

Interest in the Willie Baldwin case at
Atchison is revived by the statement Of
a criminal at Quincy. H., who complete
" exculpates young Baldwin from the
crime of numbering his sister in 1885. for
which alleged crime he is now serving a
life sentence in the state prison. The
generating statement is corroborated by
as strong circumstantial evidence rs was
that upon which Baldwin was convicted.
and it seems to be trustworthy and re-
liable. Other testimony heretofore pro-
duced since the conviction and incarcer-
alton Of the accused boy has gone far
towards proving that he was not guilty
Of the terrible crime, and this last would
seem to cloud the accusation against him
with doubt so completely as to afford
ample justification for the exercise Of
executive clemencv in his favor.

We see it stated that the farmers Of
Delaware will forward to congress a re-
monstrance against the proposed appro
priation for irrigating western farm
lands. using the argument OF over-pro
duction in the lines Of agriculture to re
inforce the protest In view of the re-
ported distress among that class in the
eastern states and the wholesale fore
closing of mortgages in a neighboring
state to the one named, on account OF
the inadequacy of the returns from the
effort put forth to meet Obligations. such
protest from that quarter. while odd in
one sense, is but the Outcropping Of
human nature. If production can be
stopped or materially checked on the
fertile areas of the west the prices of
farm products, they hope, will be forced
up until their meagre returns will yield
them enough to keep them where they
are. But many farmers Of the east
would make money by abandoning their
sterile lands there and coming west and
starting afresh.
