THE CHRISTIAN ENDEATOR CONTENTION.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEATOR CONTENTION.
The great Christian Endeavor Convention.
which has so successfully ended its session in
this city, brought out in striking and uneX-
pected way the tremendous latent strength and
vitality of current Christianity. In that fact
indeed lies it's chief significance The power
of the churches is often yelled under ecclesi-
astical forms and ceremonies. Besides that it
is divided up into numerous secarian channels,
some of them so small as to seem almost CON
tcmptbe to the outside critic And much Of
the most valuable energy Of Christianity is
wasted in the eff Ort to build M rival organi
cations As result Of this it seldom happens
that modern Christianity is able even if it were
willing to show the world how great its real
strength is when united under common i'm
pulse and striving for a common purpose.
And so with many minimizing people il has
failed to get the credit for the real in
fluencc which, in spite OF its divisions, it ex
ercises in modern civilization. This conven-
ton remarkable alike for its numbers and its
genuine Christian enthusiasm in lines of prac-
teal cndeavor, held as it was in the greatest
CITY of the New World. must bring home 10 the
most sceptcal mind the truth that Christianity
to-day is very much alive, nay more. that it
is factor in the daily life of the plain people,
which can be neither ignored nor despised.
And this is true, in spite of the fact that the
Christian Endcavor movement great and far
reaching as it has shown itself to be, is by no
| means inclusive Of the whole of American
Christianity The venerable Roman Catholic
communion has no part in it, and certain Prot
estant denominations either stand aloof
from it or are but slightly represented in it.
The thought therefore is at once suggested that
if the whole Of American Christianity were to
throw itself into such movement there would
result religious and ethical impulse that would
be OF incstimable value in its influence on
current manners and morals. That such
co operation OF aim in the lines of practical
effort is among the possibilities of the future
is indicated il not actually foreshadOwcd by
the wonderful growth of this movement during
the eleven years of its existence The analytic
spirit which leads men TO reread the old ar
chives of Christianity is closely allied to the
spirit of synthess which leads them away from
barren speculation TO the great questions Of
human character and conduct. Not in leagues

DOUN WITH TIE ALPHABET.

ny request Of some person or persons I'M

duccd bill to reform the spelling Of the Eng

that the alphabet be officially committed to the
Bureau of Education, with instructions TO dis
cipline and reform it, TO eXempify the right

report TO Congress.

In nothing has the petty character of the
Democratic attempts at economy in the
House been more clearly shown than in its
original treatment of the Postof1ice Appropra-
ton bill Fortunately the Senate stood in the
way of the scheme to cripple this important
service and on sober second thought the House
took a much more sensible course. The bill
as finally passed carries SSo,330, 977-nn in
crease of S1,241,9s3 over the amount first
called for. For this the country must thank
the patriotic Senate. Even that sum will be
inadequate, but the deficiency for this year will

There is at least fair chance that the arch
ringster of Jersey City, ex-Sheriff Davis, may
be taken in the net spread for the ballot box
suffers. If he has not been guilty of gross
contempt of court, he has come perlously near
it. He appears TO have been the chief plotter
in what is likely to be proved to be scheme
to deceive the United States District Court at
Trenton. The imprisonment Of this man would
indeed be triumph of right and justice.

There is something refreshing in the plea for
an adequate Navy made by Colonel Herbert, of
Alabama chairman OF the House Committee on
Naval Affairs. He effectively demolished Mr..
Holmans claim that the naval vessels now pro-
vided for would cost S5i 900, 900 by showing
that the outlay would in fact be no more than
$9,177, 900; and quoted with great force the
declaration Of the Chicago platform on the sub
ject of the Navy. The majority, however, fol-
lowed Holmans lead, and virtually put them
selves on record as affirming that Democratic
platform is manufactured to serve political
end, without any reference to party principles.

Considerable indignation has been
caused among Auburn people 10y the an
nouncement that after the first # Janu-

on the water tax for all those residing in
the town of Cranston. Why this last
straw should be inflicted on long-suf fer

more than was in accordance with the
first agreement. is hard to tell. In JUST
fication of the act they are pointed to the
town tax-book and informed that they
must expect higher rates, aud Johnston
is cited as a model of good behavior be
cause she has no such item in her tax
book. Now the facts in the case are
these: Johnston has but "a very short
length OF main, in the limits of the to an,
which was not laid directly for her con-
yeufeuCe. On tire other hand Cranston
contains the reservoir. the pump

constantly being travelled by heavy
teams carting fuel for the running of the
