shady Churches.

The early meetir g-houscs of New
England were destitute OF shade.
The trees in the vicinity had been
cut down for fear Of forest fires, and
curtains and window-blinds were un-
known.
There was no "dim religious light"
within the church, but in summer
"the white and undiluted day." and
in winter an atmosphere so cold that,
as Judge Sewell pathetically records
in his diary, 1.-The communion bread
was frozen pretty hard, and ratified
into the plates"
planted to protect the congregation
from the garish sunlight. Sometimes
the growth was dense, and cast a
soml e, sEa ,ow over the meeting
house that made it so dark within as
TO annoy the minister.
Two anecdotes, told In "The Sab
bath i'm Puritan New England, Illus
trate how the clergy protested against
these gloomy meeting houses.
A neighboring pastor, preaching in
a church thickly shaded by large
tree, gave out the text, "Why do the
wicked live?" Peering in the dim
light at his manuscript, he ex-
claimed: Il hope they will live long
enough to cut down this great hem
lock tree behind the pulpit window"
Doctor Storrs preached by invita-
ton in a meeting house overshadowed
with trees. His struggles to read
his manuscript temped him to affirm
that he would never preach in that
house again while it was so ill-lighted
and gloomy.
A few years later he was invited to
preach in the same old meeting
house. He rode up to it on the Sun
day morning. and seeing the trees
still standing, rode away leaving the
people to sit in darkness, without q
sermon. YOUTHS Companion.

Worse than Bad Polite \.

A well-known Republican is quoted
as saying that it would be bad poll:
tics" for the Senate to pass any o!
the measures undermining the Nc
Kinney law which have been adopted
by the Democratic House of Repre-
sentativeS.
1t would be worse than bad poll
tics. 1t would be cOwardly, dishon-
orable, treacherous politics. 1t would
be playing into the hands OF the
Democracy and doing the work which
they are afraid to undertake. 1t
would lie giving them an opportunity
two years hence and four years hence
TO cxtenuate the results of b.under-
ingilegis!ation with the plea of Re
publican acquiescence.
No-nOt politics alone, but COM
mon sense, dignity and decency de-
mand that the Republican Senate
shall not assume Democratic respon-
sibilities. But. as the Press has said
before, even if Senators should be
found sufficiently craven and lacking
in backbone and self respect as to
surrender their principles the nation
has for Chief Magistrate Il man who
has never faltered in maintaining his
convictions as citizen or soldier, in
war or in peace.
DoeS any Democrat expect the Re-
publicans TO be less faithful to the
creed OF their party than the Demo
Gratis were to theirs? -Four years ago
the Democratic Congress had passed
the Mills tariff bill, making radical
reductions in the tariff. They had
appealed 20 the country to sustain
them and were defeated. One month
after President Harrison's election
the defeated party met in the last
session OF the Fifty-second Congress.
Did any representative Democrat
then suggest that in view OF the
popular verdict it was the duty Of
the Democratic majority in the House
10 go oyef, horse, foot and dragons,
TO the Republican side, and frame
and pass protective tariff laws? So
preposterous thing was not thought
of by any Democrat or suggested by
any Republican.
Yet this is the exact course now
recommended TO Republican Senators
10y the free traders. We do not b.
lieve that a single Republican Sena-
tor worthy of his place will take
counsel Of the enemy, or wish to
s1are tac responsibility OF the lcgis-
lation 10 which the Democratic party
is Comnlitted. Pioneer Press.

laundering fer the Sugar Tax.

There is no doubt whatever that if
the dominant Southern faction Of the
Democracy can get any pretext what
ever they will restore the tariff on
sugar and speedily make the bles sings
Of the Democratic rule appreciated at
every breakfast table throughout the
land. Prominent Democrats have
already declared themselves in favor
Of reviving the sugar tariff, and it
will undoubtedly be attempted.
With free wool and tariff on
sugar the farmers Of the West and
the Pacific slope will have a chance
TO understand just what an alliance
with the solid South means for them
and for their interests.

The Democratic Dilemma.

The talk now among Democrats is
of tariff commission. Why tariff
commission? Its only object could
be TO sec where the tariff may be re-
duccd without injuring the industries
OF the country-Or rather without in
juring the Democratic party. But
this means that protection TO our in
dustries is to be continued. The
Democratic party has declared that
protection is unconstitutional. -

NYhitncY's Sensible Plan.

Whitney'S tariff commission idea
is not so bad. or cOuiSe it is not
what the Democratic platform prom
ised and what the free-traderS
thought they were going to get; but
it must be conceded that u non-par-
tisan commission would be likely to
handle the subject OF the revision Of
the tariff with more intelligence than
Democratic Congress. Then, too,
it would postpone the possibility of a
change in the tariff schedules for at
least year or year and half, and
possibly longer and this would give
business men in the industries likely
to be affected chance to breathe.
If the Democrats decide upon this
policy it will be understood that they
were influenced by considerations
having reference to the impractical
bility Of free trade or ant-tariff
legislation OF the Mills bill sort, and
to the hollowneSs OF the pretensions
upon which the Democratic PAL ~
conducted its multiplication crusade.
AS far as Mr.. Whitney is concerned,
he can take this course with perfect
consistency, for he was anxious to
avoid the anti-protection issue, and
the free-trade plank of the Demo
cratic platform was adopted in oppo-
Sition to his advice.
(. People OF all parties would rejoice
at the adoption Of Mr.. Whitney's
plan, for, desirable as it would be to
convince the frec-trade fanatics Of
their folly it would be too expensive
to bring ruin upon the country for
the sake Of conveying an object les
