magic OF the printing press and kindred
wonders, speaks each week TO thousands.
The sermon Is heard and forgotten. The
editorial may be read and re-read. The
nearer OF the sermon rarely can quote a
striking utterance with accuracy, and thus
pass on TO his friends exactly what the
preacher has said. The printed page is
transportable, reliable, ever reads the
same, and that which gives pleasure to the
reader in Maine may be forwarded to Cali
1ornla and produce the same pleasurable
emotions and give the same profit there.
The majority of the readers of a great
religious journal probably never see the

The editor of the great UNCONVENTIONAL
organ of the Methodist Episcopal church
Is the Rev. J. N. Buckley, D. D., of The
Christian Advocate, published in New
York city, paper which has an officially
reported circulation of $1,000 copies per
week, and goes to all quarters of. the globe.
DIR. Buckley dates his editorial connec-
ton with The Christian Advocate back to
1881. Twice since then he has been re-
elected by the general conference, and he
Is sure Of his present position until 1892.
DR.. Buckley is encyclopedia in his store
of knowledge; is keen and scinlitar like in
his oratory and in his writings; is a con-
sUmmate debater and controversialist; g
stepped through and through with Metho-
dist history and law; is imperturbable in
conflict; delights in & passage at arms,
and has an inexhaustible store Of anecdote
and wit.
He has travelled throughout Europe and
The Orient, and his letters to The Christian
Advocate describing his journeys have lent
Interest to that paper even when he has
not had immediate editorial control. DR..
Buckley is as famous as preacher as an
editor. He has made a special study OF
the history of Methodism, and is now at
work upon a volume which when pub

though it defends its own faith from mis-
representation. 1t can say a good word for

for the general community, a broad, cheer

SOME of this smaller fry OF newspa-
pers and small bore politicians talk of
reading the Chicago Tribune out of the
republican party. 1t may prove diff.
cult job, but the Tribune needs correct
ing by somebody, in the party or out of
1t. Its great lsudable feature is its ad-
vocacy OF the principles of free trade, or
as much Of that doctrine as is necessary
at the present stage of this country's hiss
tory. But. in this, too, it is somewhat
Quixotic. When q campaign presses
closely |, forgets for moment its former
attitude, and waits until the clouds roll
by before taking up again its denuncia-
ton of protection. For this inconsist,
ency it should receive rebuke, but as to
reading it out OF the party that is quite
another thing. The republicans never
find inconsistency troublesome pill to
swallow. Long use has made it easy to
take.

THERE are some newspapers through
aut the state that rush msdly to the de-
fence Of General Palmer, when there is
really no necessity for such action. These
papers are not all democratic. They are
of all shades Of .;olitics. Let the rabid
republicans abuse Palmer as much as
they please. 1t will only display their
own vindictiveness and can in no way in
jure the man attacked. Palmer was the
idol of the republicans at one time. They
gave him honor and support. but since
that time he has thought best to maintain
his manhood by not blindly following his
old friends into all manner of reckless
ness and pernicious political doctrines
BY this Withdrawal OF his association he
receives the usual amount of abuse. He
is proof against it.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-The lnnscy case in
which Frank Collier, the well known law
yer, is defendant, is attracting much at
tention in this city. Collier is conducting
his own defense, and does it with as
much shrewdness and wit as he ever did in
any case. Yesterday DR.. Dewey, of Kan
kakee insane asylum, was W tness, and
fatty contradicted DR. Herman, who tes-
fed Thursday that Collier had paresis
and would not live five years Dr. Dewey
said the patient had circular insanity
The proceedings Thursday during DR.
kiernan's cross-examination were very
amusing in spite of the gravity of the
case. The doctor had testified, as stated
above, and Collier took him In hand TO
cross-examine.
An Astonished Medical Man.
Frank asked the doctor several ques-
tions, among which was one referring to
his statement that the defendant STUN
bled over the p's, BIS and chs, a symptom
the doctor said that was conclusive of par
esis. Said Collier:

"You have done it repeatedly during

The Indispensable Condiment the SUBJ
ject of Little Senatorial Wit.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 20-During
the debate in the senate yesterday on a
motion made 10y Mcpherson to put salt on
the free list. Colquitt advocated the
amendment and read an extract from a
speech made by Benton in the senate half
a century ago against the sa 1t tax, which
he characterized as ''heartless and tyran-
meal, memorable and emnipresent, which
no economy could evade, no poverty shun,
no privation escape"
Hoar asked whether Benton had not
made that speech about the same time
that he made another speech declaring
Brazil were s9,0N0O0 In Mexico we lost
H0,O00,0O. Imports from Mexico were

ports to them were s74, 600, 600. The bal
ance against Us in our trade with them,
therefore, is Si42. 0oo, 600. exceeding our
gains from all the rest of the world by

A Policy Of Carelessness.
Mr.. Blaine then asked: "How can this
be remediedi' and then made a depression
to reply to the Democratic statement that
we were keeping up the war tariff. He
said this WAS not true. During the war
everything was taxed, while now one
third of the articles of import were on the
free list, and the inevitable tendency was
toward increase of that list He then con-
tinued: "Our> great mistake was made
when we began to repeal the war duties
on so large an amount of imports. Any
duty repealed was a favor and an advan-
tage to the exporting country, and we
have asked nothing in return Instead of
this course (which must say was one of
carelessness and wastefulness by both
political parties) every repeal of duty
should have been preceded by most thor
