NON-PARTIsAN LESSONS.

There are some very instructive deduc-
tons to be drawn from astudy of the elec-
ton returns in the light of ante-election
estimates. The light which is thrown by
the returns on the boasted foresight and
Judgment OF the practical politicians ought

people.

THE TORY BID FOR VOTES,

The extremely Democratic, if not
Socialist, character of the new Tory
programme adopted at Edinburgh last
week is Illustrative of the very great
difference between a party when it has
the power and party when it wants the
power 1t is paradox to speak of it as
the Conservative programme, as the
English political phrase has it, for con-
servatism which advocates electoral reform
suffrage for female rate payers, local
control of the liquor traffic, the dis
franchisement of illiterate voters, state
provision for old age, assistance to work
ingmen to acquire land for building, and
greater employers liability, is only to be
called conservative on the principle of
laLcus non Iucend0 lltcus.
The programme containing the above
features adopted for the Tories at Edin-
burgh is very praiseworthy one for a
Democratic or workingman's party. That
the Tory leaders intend to catch the labor
vote by outbidding Mr. Gladstone and
hus drawing the English workingmen

| speeches., that everybody goes. Every
night some soul is touched. 1 was I'M
pressed with the cheerfulness, the patience,
the enthusiasm and the wholesome relig-
ious spirit of all the Salvation Army officers
with whom talked. 1t is q great thing to
have men and women so devoted, so earn
est, so wise and such excellent examples,
brought daily into contact with the publi-
cans, the harlots and the sinners of East
London.
I know very well that there is no end OF
criticism of the Salvation Army. As for the
men and women VINO were hustled into the
patrol wagon the other day, and accorded
the treatment which the law provides for
drunken men and disturbers of the peace. 1
confess with shame that know nothing.
But have only words of commendation for
the Salvation Army in its splendid work in
England.
Their Mission Not Among the Rich.
"A GOOD deal of the criticism which is
visited upon the Army is as irrelevant as it
would be to criticise the attire of a coal
miner from the standpoint of O full-dress
dinner. This man in dirty clothes, with his
face as black as his coat, would indeed be
out of place in drawing rooms. But he is
perfectly in place in the shaft of coal
mine. 1t is the gentleman in the expensive
shirt front and the swallow-tatled coat vino
would be an incongruity there. Let people
dress according to the occasion. And let
people do their work according to the work
that is to be done.
The Salvation Army has no mission to the
people who live in good houses and talk
good grammar and have all possible oppor-
tunity to be good Christians. Their service
is with an altogether different class of peo-
pie. Therefore it is none of our business
what they do, so long as they succeed in
reaching these people. We have tried our
best to reach them with our dress suit lie
Egion, and we have failed. The Army has
another plan, and this plan works. 1t in
wolves the use of brass bands, and hallelujah
lassies, and street preaching, and shouting,
and bad grammar. 1t believes in slang as q
means of salvation. 1t would never help US
into Christian living and believing. But it
does help the people to whom it is addressed.
The truth is that we have fallen into the
old idolatry OF the bow and arrow. If men
would hunt let them use bows and arrows
as our fathers before US did! Out upon these
innovators who would introduce powder
and shot! Whereas, the only purpose of
hunting is to get game. And any way that
will get game is a good way. And any way
that will save men is n good way. With
prayer book and surplice if you can; but
with brass band and ragged coat if that
will do it better
So say, the more of the Salvation Army
we can have the better. lam not surprised
that the police are stirred up to put them
down. They are their rivals One of these
days. when we have enough good eoldiers in
the Salvation Army, we will dismiss the
police. They will be left without an occu-
patton.

Prodigal and a Mild Lunatic.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. b Carl Wilhelm
Amondorf, heir to the estate of his father
worth sl,Oo0.0e0, in Germany. has been
located in this city. He is porter in the
saloon of Henry Woolstein, and is known as
"Pencil harley" Before he became a
saloon porter he peddled pencils about the
streets, and thus gained his nickname.
His family lives i'll Berlin and his father
was very wealthy. The son was very wild
and ran away from home II wears ago.
shortly afterward his father died and since
then no trace of tho son could be found
although diligent effort was made, until q
description OF the missing man was re-
ceiyed here, and it was found to fit "Pencil
Charley" His mother was notified, and she
promptly sent money with which to pay her
sons passage home. Amondorf seems to
be suffering from a mild form of lunacy,
and hardly realizes his position Henry
Steubeneach has been appointed his guard
ian and will attend to his business until he
can arrange to send him back to Germany.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
WISDOM OF DELIBERATIoN.

A special telegram from Washington
indicates that the radical anti-tarff crowd,
which naturally flocks to the capital after
the victory, is certain that there is popu-
lar demand for the extra session. This
element is reported TO show, in private
conversation, a praiseworthy dread of
business troubles following upon hasty and
radical tariff reductions, but they seem to
regard the extra session as the best way to
get over the difficulty on the principle of
plunging into cold bath in order to get
done with it.
Of course such way Of urging that
course is sufficient to condemn it in all
sensible minds To suppose that legisla-
ion affecting business interests is to be
he'd through Congress in obedience to
liar clamor so hastily that the regular
rs Of Congress cannot be waited for
lie all the Democratic professions
standing the Importance of the
nj FT-reaching business legislation,
by the professions of both protectlonists
and tariff reformers, is only to be enacted
after mature deliberation. If the Demo-
cracy is to signalize its victory by hasty
anu cN5N ptAlS AlS 1OdoC u pOHCl
viii be short The recognition of this
fact even among the extra-session shout
ers is Uolerably good evidence that there
Will be sense and conservatism enough in
le party to rescue it and the nation from
le dangers of that course.
In this matter of the extra session we
nay see a question raised four years ago
j new light When the Republicans
gained control of Congress in 1888 there
was much talk of the hardship in the rule
that Congress elected in one year must
wait year before commencing legisla-
ton; and a constitutional change was
actively mooted THE DISPATCH at the
time pointed out the wisdom of the con-
stitudona provision that the new Con-
,.ress should have an interval TO get over
tn, heat Of the campaign and to consider
matters n.aturely before inaugurating new
policies
The Democratic party processes great
attachment 10 the spirit of the Const;tu-
ton. Ii nothing is the spirit of that in
stTument more clear than in the provision
for deliberation in inaugurating new leg
iSlation as the result of party changes
The Democracy will do wisely to take the
year which the Constitution prescribes
for considering the complicated task of
reforming the tariff?

collection OF radicalisms presented by the
Tories will be to suggest to the English
workingmen question of the following
shape: The Tories have just closed a
period of six years in which they controlled
a majority that enabled them to carry
through any measure the Government
indorsed. If in that six years the Tory
sympathies for labor did not produce a
single bill for any one of these professed
reforms, how much faith is to be placed in
tive professions of attachment to these
re. forms, now that the Tories have not the
power to carry them through Parliament,
and can therefore make the promises
without responsibility for performance?
American politics contains some shining
examp les of bids for votes; but nothing of
late years has equaled the Tory readiness
to turn its conservatism topsy-turvy in
order to outbid Mr.. Gladstone for the
labor vote

INDEPENDENTS In RELIGION.
A New York Rabbi Speaks in Defense Of
DIR, Briggs.


NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-[SpecidI1-The Sunday
services at the Temple Emmanuel were re-
sumed to-day, and DR.. Joseph Silverman
lectured on n"Independents in Religion" with
an especial bearing on the Briggs case. He
began by declaring that the independent in
politics is q product OF American insritu-
tions. The precursor OF the Independents
in politics was the independent in re-
ligion. America was the refuge of the In
dependent pilgrim fathers, who were perse-
cuted for their religious convictions. This
age, he declared, is an age OF selfassertion,
freedom and independence. or the Briggs
case he said.
1.-THE question at issue fs of vital impor-
tance to the Presbyterian Church because It
goes to the primary source of the Church's
belief. DR.. Briggs is condemned by the
General Assembly for denying the verbal
inerranoy of the Bible, and the Church
thereby shows its disapproval OF the criti-
cal study of the Book that should be of all
books the subject of study. The Church
does not admit that human understanding
of unrevealed truths can have progressed
or developed"
He continued: "a similar trial was threat
ened in the case of DIR. Newton, but it has
for obvious reasons never materialized.
The sympathy of the intellectual world will
always be with men like DR.. Briggs and DR..
Newton. II Professionalism meant anything
against infallibility OF Pope, doctrine or
Bible. ALL truth is relative and depends
upon the point of view. Luther was the
first and foremost of modern Independents
in religion. Dr. Briggs is the last up to date.
Professionalism must 20 on developing inde-
pendence of thought and countenancing
critical study of the Bible and religion.
"The present trial OF DIR. Briggs is one of
the greatest religious farces OF this century.
DR.. Briggs will come out OF it q greater man
than he ever was, be the result what it may.
If he is vindicated. his independence of
spirit becomes glorifed, and he is the lion of
the day. If he is not indicated, who will
say he has been defeated? Have not the
others rather been defeated who have failed
to vIndicate him? He will be a martyr
another Luther, another Spinoza, another
Renan, added to the long lists OF independ-
ents in religion. II is such men who are the
saviors of mankind, not those who sit in
Judgment on them"
DR.. Silverman concluded by saying that he
believed that "every minister should be
subject only to the approval of his own con-
gregation, and that every congregation
should be an independents religious body.
All church synods and ecclesiastical bodies
which seek to dictate religious policies and
to issue bulls are not in harmony with the
spirit of the nineteenth century, and should
be done away with. They are relics OF the
days of barbarism and tyranny"

Boston Working Girls Start a Movement
Against Indecent Show Bills.
Boston, Nov. l3.-Boston has been pla-
carded conspicuously of late with theatrt-
cal posters OF women in tights. Yesterday
the Working Girls Clubs held q meeting,
and vigorous deDunciations OF these dis
plays were made. This petition was pre-
pared and will be laid before the Board OF
Aldermen Monday evening, bearing the

eve, the undersigned. do hereby earnestly
protest. against the display of indecent
theatrical posters and show bills, believing
that such plav bills, as are at present shown
upon our streets, are most offensive to every
clean minded man and woman, and deeply
corrupting to the uniformed standard OF
youth. We do. therefore. respectfully urge
that in the licensing of theatrical COM
pa nies there shall benceforth be q strict sur
veillance upon the posters which such COM
panies intend to display, and careful ruling
out of all those which are an offense against
modesty and decency."

MAIL SERVICE ON STREET CARS.
A Movement Designed to Check Fut ure
Strikes Like That at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. l3.-A movement has
been inaugurated to establish the United
States mail on the street cars. The object
is to prevent a recurrence of the delay and
annoyances caused in the delivery OF mail
during the recent general strike.
AS the bulk of the mail IS delivered at
points remote from the general Office the
carriers are required to seek street car
transportation as frequently as four times q
day. During the tieup of the street cars the
delivery was intertered with, and in this
the trainers of the movement found cause
for their proposed action. Using the street
cars for mail service would bring them
under the protection OF the Government
and tend to make striking car drivers keep
hands off

SuNBURY, Pa, Nov. IA contest for
superiority between the manufacturers of
wire nails and cut nails, involving the pro-
duction OF 5000, 600 kegs of nails per year, is
attracting general attention here. An asso-
citation, with which is connected Van Alen's
Northumberland Iron and Nail Works, has
issued a circular to the wire nail manufac-
ture-s throughout the country, requesting
them to be present at and to take part in a
series of tests to be made at the United
States Arsenal, Waterfowl, Mass, the Gov
ernmental testing office. The tests will COM
mence November 81.
The object of the test is to ascertain the
comparative holding powers of cut nails and
wire nails ofequal lengths and weights when
driven as in actual use into the common
building material-say, spruce wood. 1t is
proposed to conduct the test by pulling ten
cut nails of given length and weight, and
then pulling wire nails of the same lengths
and weight, thus testing the nails in pairs
until the list is exhausted.

in the erection and completion of the great

The lenses are now in the hands of Alvin G.

months. President Harper is confident they
will be completed in IL.
"Where will the observatory be located?"
"That is still an open question:" said
President Harper "Much depends upon
the atmospheric conditions. If we can
secure these in Chicago we want the OBJ
servatory located right in the city. But to
my mind, the observatory should be nlaced
