predict that it was the spirit of the time

that 1t would be an age of great reforms.
In the past men have tried to master great
empires, to reform nations, and they have
failed. The spirit of the coming century

He criticised sharply the
NARROW AND ORTHODOX cREEDs
OF churches, and stated that whenever a
church formulated a creed it had formed
something it did not itself comprehend,
and could not expect its followers to
digest it.
:: The churches, he said, had given birth
TO TWO children which they failed to
acknowledge. When their offspring
came into the world they eyed them
askant, and failed either TO contribute to
their support or manifest interest in their
welfare.
one of these children was the Salvation

In dwelling upon the Salvation Army,
he paid high tribute to the great soul of
General Booth, and said he believed he
represented the best spirit of his time.
The other child Of the church, treated
by II with scorn, was the Young Mems
Christian Association, which had become
one OF the mighty forces of the age, and
which was destined to do great work in
the re.ormations and spirit Of progress.
one OF these forces went into the streets
and byways aud stretched out its arms

fast enough, gave it a severe cut with the

The horse sprang forward so suddenly
that the young man who did the whip
ping turned back somersault ont of the
seat and fell upon the ground. The other
chap was driving, and in trying to stop
the horse ran into u cart belonging to
Carl Swezer. a farmer. This caused
SwezeISs horse to become frightened and
he dashed Off in an easterly direction at
preak-neck speed. Swezer was in one of
the Chinese stores at the time, and, in

TASKS That Mnst Re Do,e

Nature has assigned important tasks to
the liver and the bowels, and being mu-
tually dependent upon each other for the
regular and adequate discharge Of these
tasks, cessation OF work by one causes
the other to lapse into inactivity. The
tasks Of secretion and evacuation must he
performed, or the system is poisoned and
disordered. Moreover, fatal inflammation
OF the bowels or abscess of the liver are
apt TO ensue if inaction of these organs is
allowed to go unheeded. The dangerous
tendency should be checked at the outset
with HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. an
anti-bilious specific and laxative without
peer. Never does this medicine cause a
qualm of the stomach or uneasiness of the
bowels. 1t does its reformatory work
pleasantly though with reasonable activ-
ity. 1t prevents malaria and rheumatic
disease, kidney complaints, and relieves
dyspepsia and nervousness.

THE EXIIE'S RETURN
A Modern Enoch Arden, With Varia-

tions. Also Modern.
In response to a telephone call officer
Clark and Special Greer went to Gil @
street yesterday afternoon and arrested
man named Finn, on complaint of Mrs.
Finn According to the latter her hus-
band is a modern Enoch Arden, with
some very prosaic differences and varia-
tions.
Finn, a plasterer by trade, has just
turned up after an absence of seven
years, during which Mrs. Finn claims he
has not contributed to the support of
either herself or family.
on his arrival she says, he proceeded
to assume the authority of her household,
without assuming any of its expenses.
and that he yesterday drove the eldest
son from the house and abused the other
children.
One girl of about 16 years, who is blind.
was crying bitterly when Finn was ar
rested, and insisted on saying her mother
was more than half to blame.
Mrs. Finn was very vigorous in de-
nouncing the returned wanderer, and ex-
hibited her dress badly torn about the
shoulders and waist. She said:
''Indade, it's him as is to blame, sure.
He's come to take my home again, and
abuses me by calling me very dissipated
names."
She stated that she would appear at the
Police Court to-day and swear to a com
plaint of battery. In the meantime, Finn
has been released from Jail.

Anob,ect Lesson.

There was in yesterdays papers tele-
gram which bore upon the question
whether the tariff tax il paid by the con-
sumer or the foreigner from whose ooun-
tries the taxed goods are brought. The
prospect that cur ports would be closed
for even the short space Of twenty days
had been considered by well.informed
merchants and traders. and they, so the
telegram read, had come 10 the conclusion
that granulated sugar would not, under
existing circumstances. cost the retail pur-
chasers more than cents pound, though
the price Of raw sugar might rise much
moro in proportion. II is TO be observed
that nothing IS said as to what tho con-
sumers OF sugar will have TO pay for the
graduated article. The telegraph merely
attempted TO quiet the fears Of the retail
dealers by assuring them that graduated
sugar would not advance in price more
than 20 per cent. as result Of the govern
ments efforts TO keep the cholera out OF
this country.
We applaud the administration for all
II has done in this behalf. and will applaud
it for all such reasonable efforts which II
may mako hereafter. We are not nt all
afraid of tho cholera. Perhaps that is be-
cause II is as yet so far from us; or per-
hsps we reoollect too well that oil OF the
things which we are now told threaten TO
bring the cholera upon US before we can
clean up our yards, gardens, and tenement
houses, have for thirty years existed
amongst us without causing single case
OF cholera. Nevertheless, we must not let
nuisanecs longer exist because they have
done no harm hitherto. II every man who
feels more or less alarm on the subject
will see to 1t that his own premises are in
proper condition. the Board of Health will
not have much trouble in preparing for
visitation, which we all hope will not como
upon us. but which we fear may yet visit
us ell too soon.
All the same the price of graduated
sugar is going to advance as q conse-
ouence Of the quarantine which our
authorities have been compelled to en-
force. The first alarm, however, will toon
be over II circumstances favor the people
of this country as circumstances have
heretofore favored us and as they are now
expected TO favor US. BY all means let us
avoid cholera panic. Let carbolio acid
end sugar rise In price as they may, we
must not permit asrmists to brighten us
from our propnety nor yield to the clamor
of the multitude who call for measures
which Will do more harm than good.
We have rather forgotten our "object
lesson" but we will let what we have
written 60 for what it is worth.

The Labouchere Clique

The LABoUcHERH champions IN British
politics are succeeding admirably IN their
efforts to make laughing stocks Of them
selves. They now proclaim that they will
test in Parliament the Queens right to
influence the appointment of Ministers.
1t does not appear that there is any real
ground for assuming that the Queen inter-
fered or sought to use her influence in this
matter. All there is in the tempest in the
teapot. il seems, is that of his own Volt
ton Mr.. GLADSTONE wisely and courteously
refrained from honoring certain men
who he knew were personally obnoxious
to his royal mistress. If, however, her
Majesty had departed from pre-
cedent" in the case of Lord ROSE
Berry and urged his selection rs
Foreign Minister, all of Mr.. GLAD
STONES adherents would have had occasion
TO thank her. The fact that Lord ROSE
Berry is at the head of the Foreign Office will
do more than anything else to prolong the
Grand Old Mans lease upon power. ROSE
BERY's well.known sympathy with Lord
sILIsBuRY's foreign policy will prove a
shield 10 MIR. GLADsToSE where he Is most

Electricity as a Motive Power.

An ex-member Of the Board of Aldermen
of this city has lately visited the North.
Whilst sojourning in one of the cities
north of Richmond he satisfied himself
that the cable system is not as good in
some respects as the trolley system. 1t
costs four or five times as much, he says,
and shakes up the passenger more or less
whenever the car stops or starts. Storage
battery cars have poor success in going up
any grade however light. So much for our
councilman's statements. which, however.
need not be accepted as the last word that
is to be said on the subject. Indeed, since
We had this conversation with him we have
read in the Washington Post a telegram
from Springfield. o.. stating that DR.. WIN
YIELD s. BRYAN, local electrician. has
made wonderful discovery in O practi-
eally self-sustsining storage battery. He
is man of long experience III electrical
matters and great investigator He haJ
been engaged ON his invention for two
years. and II now promises to work Won

nomical speeulstiops TO appear in the

II cannot be demonstrated, quoth the
Sun, that "there is not an infinite number

and so it cannot be demonstrated that
there are not stars enough in space to al
