MR. BLAIR OF MASSACHUSETTS,.

AT least one American politician Of
this period has found himself more
famous than was profitable TO his
aspirations. Tho ordeal which Mr..
Henry w. Blair is undergoing through
his appointment to be- minister 10
China Ia IA striking Illustration Of how
extremely difficult aud hazardous a
Thing II II TO ho statesman.
During Mr.. Blalr's career In the
senate he was the champion Of some
very important measures. Some be-.
came law only after arduous aud re-
peated struggles and some, con-
splcuously tho famous educa.
tional bill, were under tlre
friction Of debate so long an to be fairly
worn to shadow before the flnal Issue
could be reached. Public measures that
pull 10 hard on the tother OF argu.
ment are sure nj some stage OF their
progress TO inspire very strong language
on this side OF their earnest advocates.
So II has happened that on a great
many occasions Mr.. Blair has given
uttcrance to language during the heat
Of debate which, though probably not
noticed Mt the time even by his oppo.
nents, has now risen from its grave to
mock him and spoil his career.
For instance, during the debate on
the Chinese exclusion bill Mr.. Blair
was tor Its passage, ana In one OF his
spells OF over earnestness compared the
Chinese emigration OF this country TO
"pcstilential disease" This out
burst Of zeal at tho time caused no COM
ment aud would never have been
thought Of again had not Mr.. Blair
recently been honored with an appoint
ment To the Chinese court.
On his appointment being confirmed
by the Senate, an unfriendly editor
went down Into the Senate records and
dug up his anti.Chineso speech. Tx.
tracts containing Mr.. Blalt's most
odious expressions were promptly for.
warded To the court OF China, and lust
as the now minister was ready TO sail
for his field OF duty message came
from the Emperor OF China informing
the President that MIR. Blair would not
be acceptable as minister to that
country. His appointment was Of
course promptly cancelled.

CONCERNING THE crym SERVICE.

A PIERCE aud never firing defender
Of the spolls system in the civil service,
notably the New York San, asks why
should congressman have no voice In
the appointment from their respective
States, and by way Of emphasizing its
opinion on the subject cites the case OF
Abraham Lincoln applying to General
Sohenck for official influence in pro.
curing postionin the land office de.
partment The fact that the said
"iniluence" when exertod by 30
eminent person as Mr.. Schenck was
not successful, causes the Sun to Ia.
quiro why "Congressmen like Gen.
schenck should be forbidden To exer.
their influence IN favor OF applicants
like Abraham Lincoln"
Probably the answer which sensible
civil service retormers would make TO
this query is that when every congress.

meantime the question Is equally IL.
relevant, for both Mir. Schenck and
Mr.. Lincoln are dead, and there is not
at this date any public evidences OF
their having len any disciples who

"MormonismD 10 just as much Of n

believe. Also that disbeliever
In Christianity has no more right or
title to the name Of Nationalist than
true Christian has. Observe, we did not
say that nlr. Ellis called himself Free
thinker or an Agnostic. Those names
are commonly used In reference TO
people who hold views similar TO those
u Thomas Payne. and Robert Inger'
soil, and -. r. Underwood, por.ons
whom Mr. Ellis regards with favor and
some,of whose opinions al least he has
defended with vigor aud ability.
MIR. Ellis has dated through orr
columns that he was engaged, shortly
after his arrival In this city, to lecture
for a society Of people who were either
''atheiats aud infdcls' or were classcd
among the "fTootbInkers" and
Aguostics. So we thought we were
doing perfect Justice to him In placing
him among the latter class, which In
cludcs such illustrous names as Hux.
ley and spencer, and other great
thinker who say there are some things
which they do not know and therefore
they are Agnostics.
Mfr. Ellis says he 'does know" and
therefore he Is not nh Agnostlc. We
are happy to hear II. But he does not
tell us what Il IA he "does know" II
be knows those things which Huxley
and Others say they do not know, he Is
ahead Of them aud, 20 far, he can.
not be justly called an Agnostlc. There
are some things, however, that few
mortals know, bnt In which many OF
them verify believe, and believing,
they are not properly numbered
among the Agnostics. II IA those who
neither know nor believe In what they
cannot scientifically demonstrate that
are called Agnostlcs- term which they
usually accept, and which carries no
"cenmrc."
We DO not think there Il anything
offensive In the name Of "Ffec-
thinker" no matter by whom adopted
or applied. hut we DO not coueedo that
any disbelicycr or unbclleyer In ~
vealed religion is more Of frtcthlukrr
than true believers are, ON the same
principle tho term "Ratlonalist" II no
more exclusively appropriate than the
other, but neither Of them conveys
anything ccnsurablo Or oppfobrlous.
We would Just NJ readily call Mr..
Ellis a "R1tionallst" as "Frec.
thinker" u that would suit him better.
AZ the same time we think that
"Mormons" who understood the
genius aud scope Of their religion, are
mtionalists Ia the fullest sense Of the
term M well as free thinkers to the
utmost possible limits.
We do not regard the terms "frco.
thinker" and "inhde" assynonymous
The former Is much preferred by
people who, because Of their lack Of
belief In commonly accepted ideas,
are commonly classcd m in'
fdels. We are all "inddep

NIL be frcothinhcns In reference to all
things. There are limits 10 thought
and there are some things we know,
which anchor our belief aud thought
aud therefore absolute frcothinking
