MODERN CHURCH WORK.

The Cincinnati clergyman, whose work
in running building and loan association,
commercial college, classes in languages
and kindergarten, in connection with his
church, forms the subject of one of our
specials, evidently has a very active idea
of keeping the church in touch with mod
ern times. The church in question was
one well nigh abandoned by the removal
of members to other parts of the city.
This young clergyman had the problem
before him of bringing the non-church-
going classes, of whom there is every
where an abundance, into the church; and
he seems to have worked it out most sue
cesSfu!ly
The salient lesson of his work is the
value of making religious and charitable
organizations live force in the everyday
existence Of the people Plenary inspira-
tion and predestination may be important
points in the logical construction of the
ological system; but to the masses a re-
ligious organization which carries its infu-
ence into their daily lives has much more
vitality. 1t is also possible view that
more tangible social results are accom-
plished by church which, while urging
the precepts of morality upon the people,
extends to them aid and instruction in the
daily struggles-of actual life, than by any
amount Of work in extending orthodox
views on apostolic authority or the doc
trine of election. We venture the predic-
ton that churches managed on the plan
of this clergyman will never have to COM
plain of the lack of popular attachment to
the church.

A DAMAGING RECoIL.

The threat of Senator Teller, in his
speech on the monetary question last
week, that if the Republican party con-
tinues to oppose free silver coinage, the
four silver States, Colorado, Nevada,
Montana and Idaho, will be found oppos-
ing the Republican party in future, con-
veys very emphatic lesson on the policy
of making States for party purposes.
All the States mentioned were brought
into the Union with the idea of strength
ening the Republican party in Congress
and the Electoral College. When the two
newer ones were brought in, THE DIS
PATCH pointed out not only that the policy
was vicious one, but that the Republican
party was leaning on weak support in
that respect. The admission gave the
voter in the new States six times as much
influence as the voter in Pittsburg, for the
creation of Congressman and electors.
That power it was supposed would be
used for the Republican policy, but it did
not require very much foresight to see that
in the rise of new issues it might be used
in the other direction.
Senator Teller's threat shows that the
warning was not misplaced. On the ques-
tion of silver, it is declared by the leading
representative of those States, that the
electoral and Congressional votes created
by Republican policy will be used either to
dragon the Republican party into swal-
lowing the silver dose, or to defeat it. The
carving out of States which, with popu-
lation half that of this Congressional dis
trict, contribute, each, three electors, two
Senators and Congressman, to the Gov
erement of this country, returns to plague
the inventors
There may be some retributive justice
in such a miscarriage of the policy of
making States for party advantage; but
that will not be much consolation for the
country, if Senator Teller's plan should
result in the enactment of free coinage.
At present the chief obstacle to the en-
forcement of the threat is likely to be that
between Harrison and Cleveland the sill
yer States will have hard time finding a
free silver President to vote for.

SUNDAY. APRIL "a. 1892.
HILLS USELESS VICTORY

The vote of the House on the Moves
Rockwell case is widely taken as victory
for Hill. 1t is characteristic of Hills vic.
tories that they depend on seating Demo
Gratis, even when the evidence fairly con-
vinceS a majority of the Democrats, who
investigate the cases, that the Republican,
are entitled to the seat.
There is no doubt that Hill made an
especial effort to secure the seating OF
Rockwell, and to commit the House to the
principle that party spirit should refuse a
fair verdict to the candidate honestly and
legally elected. In this effort he was aided
by the Tammany machinery and had
a powerful assistance in the re-
sentiment of the Southern members
over equally flagrant actions in contested
election cases by the Republican majority
of the last Congress. So far the victory is
with Hill.
But it is hard to see how this victory has
much influence on the Presidential ques-
ton. In the first place it puts him before
the country in his proper light as rank
advocate of partisanship as against honest
popular representation, which is fatal
quality for a Presidential candidate. In
the next place, the election of delegates is
nearer the voice of the people than vote
Of Congress can be, and that has already
pronounced against Hillism.

propose for the acceptance of this country
does not rival the old one in purity and
impressiveness of language; and, in the
instance mentioned, its main claim upon
public notice is the daring innovation of
striking out as unauthorized one of the
most impressive moral passages in the
Bible. Those who talk of the language of
King James time being obscure and
archaic, should remember that it is the
dialect elevated by association to the high
est and most sacred forms of expression.
Any translators who imagine that they can
produce clearer and more impressive ver-
sions than the old Bible must show very
strong justification for that idea in their
works.
A version which proceeds on the basis
of modernizing, and consequently vulgar
izing the language of the Bible, and ac-
companies that idea with the novel policy
of rejecting the purest moral teachings
will defeat itself. The public will be apt
to conclude that the authority of the elder
translators as to the authenticity of these
passages was as good as that of the inno-
vators. 1t is not likely that the old Bible
hallowed by centuries Of sacred associa-
ton will be cast aside for a new version,
which emasculates the moral teachings
and lowers the standard Of its verbal
beauty.

TOO MUCH INNOVATION.

The intelligence conveyed by special
article contained elsewhere, that in the
translation of what is to be presented as
the new American Bible, the moral teach
ings are to be omitted from what have
heretofore ranked as among the strongest
passages OF Scripture, is startling to say
the least. Those who have opposed the
doctrine of plenary inspiration have done
so on the ground that passages, like the
genealogical passages, were not of the in
spired kind. But when it comes to emas-
culating passages like the familiar "Re-
member, now thy Creator in the days of
thy YOUTH it is permissible t, say that
the effect of such revision will be more
damaging to the success of the new ver-
sion than to the standing of the old one.

medical profession to thinking About four
weeks ago Alexander Zellner, of the firm of
Zellner s. Price, dealers in canned goods,
what he thought was an attack of the grip.
Paying no attention to the matter he con-
tinued at business until his condition be-
came SO serious as to compel him to remain
at home. As he was q remarkably healthy
man, who had never known sick day, he
resisted the advice of his friends and family
until he could hold out no longer, and DR..
George Goebel was called in. By this time
blood, had made their appearance on his
face and chest.
Dr.. Goebel, after careful diagnosis
reached the conclusion that his patient was
suffering from an extremely rare, but singu-
larly fatal disease, known as purpura hem
had never seen a case like it before, but was
able to recognize the typical symptoms,
whfc we're clearly defined. He ordered the
patient to bed, and enjoined perfect quiet
and repose. Mr.. Zellner fingered for two
days, all the while losing blood. The doctors
seemed to have any effect. Finally he was
seized with violent pains in the head, which
proved to be bemorrhages of the brain. This
was the beginning of the end, and after suf.
fering intensely for several hours he lapsed
into inconsistencies and quietly passed
away. An autopsy was held and the body
was found to be nearly empty OF blood. The
veins had simply worn out and had small
punctures in them as If some sharp point had
pierced them.

The Action ID All for Eject
There are many men still treading the
old path between Newspaper Row and Capt.
toll Hill who can tell even better stories than
this about that thoroughly un-American
"secret session" business. The woods are
full enough of them to make the custom not
only ridiculous, but cruelly so where "Sena-
torial courtesy" behind closed doors is used
to assail mems regulations without their
having a chance to strike back. This solemn
farce and emblem OF torture might have
been a valuable arm to legislation a half a
century ago; but since the days which began
with the war, when readers demanded all
the news from the papers, 1t has become an
old granny's night cap which might have
been thrown into the rag bag, but for the
present controversy, in which not only every
Journalist, but every citizen in the land is
interested and concerned. There is no longer
pie is at stake. The solution of this cont tro-
Yersy Is easy. General Boynton, equal in
character and veracity to any man in the
Senate, has made specific charges which are
easy of proof. If the Senate will order an
investigation of them, the world will soon
see whether the Journalist or the Senator is
at fault, If fault there be.
Senator Sherman's declaration the other
day that they must have less employees pres
enr during secret" sessions will not help
the case bit. The Senate may put out every
employe 1t has, and sit in supreme solitude,
with only the hard walls as listeners, and
yet the Journalist assigned to the duty OF
finding out what has been going on and said
within the charmed circle, will print the
main facts the next morning, unless all the
Senators are struck both deaf and dumb be-
fore the doors are opened. This symposium
of Indignation among the "nobies" Is only
for effect on people who do not know the
facts. FRANK A. BURR.

The attempt to force Mr.. Blaine into a
Presidential candidacy against his will after
the fashion proposed by the Chicago Blaine
Club is offensive foolishness, 1t is too late
to revive the Blaine movement. Even if the
Secretary of State could be induced to re-
consider his declination, his change Of atti-
tude would seriously damage his strength.
Beyond all that, the reasons he has given
are such as the nation must respect. There
is no national exigency requiring a man to
take an office which he feels would seriously
imperil his lite.
