AN IMAGINARY SLAVERY

The latest deliverance of Max O'Rell on
American customs makes the discovery
that this nation has freed itself from the
dominion of monarchies and that its citi-
zens have become 1.-THE slaves of its SER
wants" This idea is worked out by the
widely observant Frenchman as follows:
in America the man who pays does not
command the paid" consequently, he re-
jterates, ''the paid servant rules
This is not an especially new observa-
ton. 1t has been heard before in differ
ent forms, and it is founded on the super
stition powerful in the Old World, and
has even a widespread hold upon this
country, that the person, who pays for goods
or services, is in some way the superior
of the one who sells the goods or renders
the service. O'Rell does not assert that
when the Americans pay for anything
they do not receive what they pay for ac-
cording to contract. If that were so they
would soon cease paying except in those
departments Of service ruled by exclusive
privilege in which they cannot help them
selves. But what plaques the mentality of
o'Rell is that in a transaction in which
one person renders stipulated service, and
the other pays for it, the superiority of
the latter is not so clearly recognized as to
rank him as the ruler The fact that in
all just transactions there should be an
equality in the service rendered is, especi-
ally in the matter of domestic employ
ment, wholly beyond the conception of
the clever Frenchman.
Ii is to be recognized that the respective
conditions Of employers and employed, in
domestic service, should seem paradoxical
TO person regarding things from the Con-
tinental point. The absence of that abiect

TO LIFT THE SMOKE.
New York Is Urged to Use Petroleum In
stead Of Coal.

New York Advertiser.l
If burning petroleum will lift the pail of
smoke which too often hangs over the city,
then let US burn petroleum in our big fur
naces. The Chicago Tribune announces that
several large concerns in that city which
have been making experiments with oil as
fuel are satisfied with the results, not only
in the matter of cleanliness. but economy,
and are now preparing to change from coal
to petroleum. The largest of these are the
Chicago City Railway Company, the West
Division Street Railway Company and the
Chicago Sugar Refining Company. These
establishments have been the chief offenders
i'll the matter of smoke producing, and the
vigilance of the Smoke Inspector had some
thing to do with the change in the method
of firing their boilers. Perhaps little
vigilance in the same direction in this city
would not be without good results. While
New York has less to complain of in the
matter of smoke than many other cities,
there is still too much of the evil here, and
it should be abated as far as possible.
The greatest oil field this country has ever
known Is now being developed near Pitts
burg. Wells producing above 10 OC0 barrels
a day have been opened up. Many thousand
barrels of Oil have gone to waste, and many
thousand more are likely to. If this is a
better fuel than coal, let it be utilized The
producers of petroleum will welcome q new
market for their product. With an ap-
parently inexhaustble supply in the fields
of Pennsylvania and Ohio, there need per-
haps, be no fear that there will not be plenty
OF the new fuel for many years to come.

ROW THE BRIrIsa VIEW II.

Tie London papers show a better con-
Cpption Of the significance of Tuesday S
vote than do some of our Democratic CO.
tcmporaries. They. admit that the in
dorspmcnt of Mckinley means protection;
and they are candid in saying that British
manufacturers can extract no comfort
fTom it.
Meanwhile. there are some Democrats
Ike Mr. Cleveland at New York 50 infat'l-
aled with the phrase tariff reform" that
thc victory Of the protectionistS in Ohio
C"'y moves them to shout that they will
never surrender their pet idea. This en-
.hastasm is very fine just now. But the
rank and file of the Democracy will begin
Ia inquire if it is not time 10 revise the po-
sition Of the party upon issues affecting
business Of the country, and to cease stalk
ing everything upon a fad which, when
twice squarciy presented 20 the public, has
each time been emphatically repudiated.
The New York San for several years
past has seen the folly of this antagonizing
of protection by its party. 1t sounded a
'im2ly warning 10 the leaders long ago TO
cease their foolish pursuit of fanciful eco
Monies and adopt the conse- -'ative protec-
zionist stand Of the late Samu II j. Randall.
The Sun and those other Democrats who
believe in protection will now gain more
respectful hearin.. 1t is too early to eX-
pect an oStent .ticuS withdrawal of the flag
which Mr.. Cl-' eland foolishly sent up to
HE masthead IN 'sS. But between now
and the assemhlingCf the next Democratic
National Convention we may look for an
eager attempt by thesviser leaders to de-
velop other issues and to relegate anti-pro-
lection 10 an extremely subordinate place
in the platform, if indeed they do not elm
mate it entirely.

MILITARY TRAINING.
1t Has Physical Advantages That Are OF

1t Has Physical Advantages That Are of
the Greatest Benefit.
The Cosmopolitan
In casting about We find no better physi-
cal advantage to be gained than those de-
rived from the military exercise which
young men undergo in the military service
Camping out in summer in well selected
camps gives them an outdoor life which
is much needed change from the indoor
life led throughout the long winters, during
which so much vitiated air is breathed in
crowded places of business and iIl-venti-
lated sleeping apartments. Marchin is the
most rational exercise for the legs: the man.
ual OF arms always insures healthy chests
and well developed arms, and moving at the
double quick improves the breathing power
of the lungs. Unlike the athletics in college
there is here no over training, which SO
Injuries the subjects by excess, and no break
ing down after training has ceased. The
marching and drilling under competent in
structors improves the gaitsof the recruit
and gives him O frmer, easier step and a
more graceful carriage.
Military service has many advantages
mentally 1t cultivates intelligence among
young men and does much toward improv-
ing the memory and curing absent minded
ness. The necessity of being alert listening
LOT eacn Word OF command and acting
promptly upon it, quickens the wits and cul-
tivates the habit of fixing the attention and
concentrating the thoughts Marching to
the sound of music gives young man a
better idea of measure and rhythm and is
calculated to make him more methodicaI in
all things His entering upon the duties of
soldier leads him to study military history,
which emDodieS the chief history of nations
The hardest lesson to be learned in life is
that of amenability to discipline In land
like this, where there is very little restraint
among young or old, where self abnegation
is but little heard of, and where the race of
life is pretty much ego as you please"
there is scarcely any school in which sub
ordination and obedience are taught except
in the military service.

THE STATUS OF THE BRIGGS CASE.

One phase of the famous Briggs trial
for heresy has ended, but the controversy
still exists. DR.. Briggs was charged with
utteranees in his inaugural address not in
accord with the tenets of the Presbyterian
Church. He contended that the theo-
logians of the so-called orthodox school
had read into the Westminster Confession
and related documents, which are the
Creed of the Church, what is not found
therein and what in many instances is
directly contrary to the teachings of the
Westminster divines and even to Scripture
itself He claimed. that traditional or
thodoxy had shifted from the base laid
down at the Reformation and from the
positions of the standards.
There was no trial before the New York
Presbytery. The charges were dismissed
upon a motion, which the mover said was
made because he did not think the trial of
the case would be in the interests of the
Presbyterian Church. But the prose-
cutors do not intend to let the matter
drop. They will carry the controversy to
the New York Synod. where the merits of
the case will probably be brought out.
The real prosecutors are the authorities Of
Princeton College, between which in
stitution and the Union Theological Semi
nary the fight is in reality being waged.
1t has gone too far now'to be dropped in
the summary manner adopted by the New
York Presbytery. The efforts of those
who believe that the proceedings will
cause split in the church to smooth over
the difficulty haye proved unavailing, and
every indication points to the continuance
of the strife to the bitter end, split or no
split.
