views-nothing thereby occurs more than
has frequently happened in the past. 1t
has never been an argument against the
truths of Christianity that all men do not
comprehend them in the same light, or
with the same force; and 1t is but sign Of
increased mental and spiritual interest and
activity when so many able and careful
students are seeking to square their pro-
fessions with their actual beliefs.
The denominations as already organized,
whether they broaden their bases to ac-
cord with the liberalizing tendencies of the
times, or go on upon the old lines, will
grow and prosper; for there will always be
numbers to find in their doctrines the
spiritual expression adapted to their wants.
If any new sects arise, these, too, will find
followers, As for those clerical and other
workers who change from one sect to
another, they will doubtless discover op-
portunities for heartier work in their new
fields. Meanwhile, when It'll remembered
that it is upon questions of mere abstract
speculation, or minor Questions of con-
duct, that many of these difficulties have
arisen-and that upon the leading facts
and doctrines of Christianity all the sects
are agreed-it will be'seen that the dangers
which some people see in these contro-
versies are mostly on the surface. Good,
not evil, is most likely in the end to spring
from them.

THE STIR IN THE CHURCHES.

1t is an extremely interesting spectacle
which has been engaging the attention of the
religious world for ten days past. All of a
sudden three or four of the leading denom-
nations have become awake to the fact
that some of their chosen ministers are
thinking, speaking and writing for them
selves quite outside of the traditional lin
itations of creed and confession. DR..
Briggs, while reverently accepting the in
spiration of the Bible as whole, does not
believe that every word and every letter of
it is specially inspired, and thinks that as
to some non-essential particulars the sacred
book is not totally inerrant. For this
opinion, which is even more boldly de-
elared by DR.. Parkhurst, Prof. Briggs is
pursued as dangerous hereto. He has
Just been ousted from the General Assem-
bly's approval of his professorship in
Union Seminary by sweeping adverse
vote of his co-denominationalists.
An even more tumultuous storm agitates
the Episcopal Church. This is confined
for the time to New York and Boston,
where DR. Heber Newton's peculiar views
as to the resurrection and other cardinal
points of doctrine, and DR.. Phillips Brooks
supposed sympathy with Dr. Newton, have
set the clergy by the ears. The wandering
English monk, Father Ignatius, who has
been vigorously denounced for starting the
heresy-hunt in the Episeopalian fold, must
be grimly satisfied to contemplate the
commotion which has followed his some
what bitter crusade.
Here at home the Reformed Presby-
terians have likewise been hunting heretics
with the hot zeal all their own. The
seven young ministers who, according to
their accusers, ventured to think and say
that it was not unchristian to discharge
the civil duties of a United States citizen,
are this week to undergo judgment as to
whether the denomination has any further
use for them.
But those who would see in these un-
usual perturbations of the religious atmos-
phere-so different from the usual calm of
the May meetings-signs of danger or
retrOgressiOn in the spread of the Christian
religion are apt to be utterly mistaken.
After all, the supreme significance of
these divisions and discussions is that
men, both in and out of the churches, are
now taking deeper and keener interest
in religious questions than ever before
They are thinking SO intently and earn
estly that they are willing to fight for
their respective beliefs. If new sects
arise from these disputes-if there be
shifting of members from one body to an
other, the better to accommodate their

AnouBTFuL STORY.

One account of the interview between
Senator Carlisle and the delegates of the
Peoples party intimates that the ex-
Speaker dumfounded them. Mr.. Carlisle's
side of the story was doubtless the only
one given, or else the delegates had a
very dim idea of the issues on which the
Third Party plants itself. One or the
other is suggested by the assertion that no
one was able to answer Mr.. Carlisle's
questions, to which there are a host of
answers, good, bad and Indifferent, accord
ing to the economic views of the re-
spondents.
The Senator first asked his visitors if
they proposed that the Government should
confscate the railroads Being told that
they did not consider that fair, he re-
joined, "Then you must tax yourself $1o,-
600, 900, 900 to pay for them" As every
reader of THE DISPATCH knows, it
does not support the proposition for
State railways, because as remedy
for corporate abuses that would be leap
from the frying pan into the fire. But
what is represented as poser from Mr..
Carlisle is the easiest part of the problem.
If legislative policy should so decide, the
Government can take the railroads under
right of eminent domain, with compensa-
ton on the basis of actual cash value,
which is nearer $4,000, 100000 than $1O,-
600, ,000, 900. That the question as to how
they should be paid for would puzzle con-
vention Of Third Party men, is somewhat
astonishing. The majority of that class
would have no hesitation in saying that
the Government printing presses would
turn out the money fast enough A more
conservative answer would be that the
holders of railroad securities would gladly
exchange them for Government bonds at
lower interest than railroad securities now
bear.
But, according to the report, Senator
Carlisle's visitors could only say something
about there being too great concentration
of the money power To this Senator Car
Isle is said to have asked if they proposed
to say that when man has earned a GER
tain sum he shall be permitted to earn no
more, which is asserted to have been an
other poser. Considering the variety of
theories brought together at Cincinnati, we
must decline to credit such statement.
There were plenty of propositions there
which are advanced as cure to that evil.
Most are ill-considered, but their advocates
are running over with arguments to prove
their efficacy. 1t is incredible that when
confronted with such question the Third
Party men did not all commence to talk at
once.
Either this report is revised in Mr. Car
isles interest with the inconvenient re-
plies left out, or Mr.. Carlisle was visited
by lot of bogus Third Party men. Your,
genuine Third Party leader when melted
by such questions would have had answers
enough to keep him talking for month.

PAYING FOR PRESIDENTIAL TRIPS.

Among numerous comments in connec-
ton with the question Of paying for costly
Presidential trips, one suggestion finds favor
with some of our contemporaries. The
Boston Herald, evidently with the idea
that the Chief Executive should not ac-
cept as gift either from corporations or
millionaires the large cost of trip in re-
gal style, suggests he should follow the
example of President Carnot. That is to
accept the courtesy, as it is called, of the
railways, and then hand over the cost to
be distributed as a gratuity among the
poorest paid employees of the railroad.
A critical view will arouse doubt either
of the theoretical or practical correctness
of that plan. Even supposing it relieves
a man from the onus of gift-taking to ac-
cept costly benefit from A and hand its
price over to B, it may be doubted if

when Thackeray makes George Warrington

to get their facts about prominent battles of
the Civil War within reach of correctness.

The Practice Is to Be Controlled by Law in
Austria Hereafter.
British Medical Journal
1t appears that somewhat morbid custom
exists among the Viennese of having the
dead bodies of children and other persons
dear to them photographed, and for this pur-
pose the corpse used to be taken to the pho
tographer's studio. The attention of the
sanitary authorities having been drawn to
the danger of the dissemination of infectious
disease by this practice, decree has been
issued by the Austrian Minister of the In
terror absolutely forbidding the photograph
ing of corpses in studios open to the public,
and the photographing of bodies of persons
who have died Of any infectious disease by
professional photographers, even in private
houses. Exception is made Of cases in
which such Photographic may be required
for police or medico-legal purposes.
In the case of persons who have died of
non-infectious disease, the corpses may be
photographed at the private residence of the
deceased, subject to the approval and on the
responsibility of the MEDICAL official whose
duty it is to verify deaths. This ordinance
came into force ON April l.

Providence Journal
A few days ago as q Broad street car was
approaching the railroad crossing on the
down trip the bells tinkled for a coming
railroad train and the gates began to come
slowly down. Seeing this the driver hurried
his horses so as to cross the railroad before
the train arrived and thus save the waiting
time. Among the passengers was young
lady who took in the situation, and who was
somewhat frightened But she did not lose
her head. Not atall Not wishing to cross
circumstances, she calmly pulled the bell as
a signal that she wished to disembark. The
driver obeyed the signal of course. When
the car stopped the danger was over and she
did not wish to diseHlbark, so she quietly re-
mained in her seat The railroad train
passed safely by, and the street car resumed
Its way but it was some little time before
the driver regained his placidity, II looks are
anything to Judge by.

AN ANEcDoTE OF Won MoLTKE.

Generals in School.


Generals in School.
One day Moltke stopped at boarding
school kept by parson in village near his
Silesian country seat, and sat down to hear
the teacher instruct the scholars-mostly
young mobiles preparing for the army-on
the wars Of France and Prussia. The cler-
gyman being called away for moment
Moltke asked to be allowed to take his place.
Before long he asked one of the pupils:
"Who, do you think, was Napoleon's best
general?" "My granduncle, Your Excel
1ency, Marshal Ney, Prince of the Moskwa,"
was the answer. Turning to another boy, he
asked: "And who wasthe bravest of Prussia's
generals in the same war;" "My granduncle,
Marshal Prince Blucher," said he. There
was also a descendant of General Zieten
among them. When the clergyman re-
turned, Won Moltke said, with humorous
glance at his own plain civilian dress, ooh,
my dear Herr Pastor, you should have told
me before that 1 was to find such famous
generals represented here" He invited all
the boys to visit him at Kreisau, and gave
them a most hospitable reception.
