Among the new books Which welcome the
new year, is volumn entitled "Natural Re-
ligior," which very many minds will find ex-
trenely suggestive aud helpful as stepping
stone to higher and frmer religious conviction.
It is from the pen OF tho Rev Theo. w.
Haven, form rly pastor OF the Independent
Congregationalist church in this city, and is a
successful effort to demonstrate that religion
is not something seperate from human nature,
but is natural result Of the true development
Of the moral and intellectual faculties Of man
when rightfuly directed and properly used.
The book maintains that the foundations Of
religious belief are laid in the human soul,
and shows how the structure Of religious faith
will be built thereon by those who follow the
dictates Ct conscience and reason. It finds the
data of religious conviction rather In reflection
than in outward observation, and will accord
ingly he to most thinking minds, much more
convincing demonstration of the existence Of
Deity than is furnished in Paley's Natural
Theology and other Kindred treGt;ses which
seek to prove this truth from the Creators
work as tho lnachinist Of the universe. 1t is,
| therefore, a strong antidote to atheism and
| will be found most useful aid to those who
desire 10 settle or strengthen their faith in the
Divine presenca and oversight, and their be-
lief In Immortality.
| Mr.. Haven shows his flial reverence and
affection for the memory of his father, the late
President Haven Of the University Of Michigan
by referring 10 his sayings and views at vari-
Gus places in the volumD, fact which will
add not little to its interest with Michigan
readers. The book is published by the Twen-
tisth Century Publishing Company. New York,
and is handsomely printed.-Hattle Greek

BOTH TO BE BLAMED

Hills devoted henchman, Prof. Collin,
of Cornell University, recently made a
statement that "The man who sells his
vote for money is more to be respected
than the man who stays away from the
polls and does not VOTE This is re-
markably bold assertion which admits a
readiness among machine politicians to
profit by human weakness wherever thew
can safely do so.
The fact is that citizens of either class
described by the Professor are unworthy
of their franchise. There is not a great
deal to choose between them, but the mega
tive crime of selfish Incidence cannot in
itself be considered worse than the posi-
tive one of corrupt voting for personal
gain with an utter disregard of the
effect on public interests. On the
other hand, the results of the former
offense are further reaching than those of
the latter. For, with a proper attention
to the duties of citizenship on the part of
those who would scorn to take bribe of
money or patronage, the corrupt voter
would be of so little value as to be driven
from the market. The sins of omission
and commission are such as to rob those
guilty of either of all claim to respect.
The Professor omitted to mention the
status Of the politician whose tactics offer
chances for the latter form of offense.
He, too, is the result of the apathetic
franchise holder. We need purity in our
government, but we shall never obtain it
until voters individually and en- masse ex-
ercise their rights of franchise according
to their judgment and their sense of
honesty.

A SUGGESTION FROM OLYMPUS,

The latest thing in the idea of athletics
is to propose in London quadrennial
competition of all the English-speaking
nations of the world in athletic games, in
which all nationalities can take part, with
an Olympic crown for the victor. Thus it
is proposed to get back to the character
istic feature of classical life.
1t suggests rather unfortunate classifi-
cation of the attempt to revive classic
glories that it selects the one feature of
Grecian ambition that conveys no lesson
and makes no impression in history. We
know that the Olympic competitions were
great features of ancient life. Perhaps
the cultivation of bodily vigor and the per-
fection of chariot driving had more di-
rect utility in fitting the Grecian youth for
the defense of their country than rowing,
football or fast-horsemanship now have
But the man who should study history to
find out the character of the winners in
the various Olympiads, as we do of Milti-
AIDES, Leonidas, Epaminondas, Pericles,
Demosthenes or Plato, would be little bet
ter than stupid. In the early part of the
century the study of Grecian patriotism
and Grecian literature was held to be the
education of statesmen. To-day it seems
that the English society has got down to
the emulation of the athletes and prize
fighters.
But is there not a suggestion in this that
may take us further? A few centuries of
Olympiads brought the ancient world to
the pass where something more sensational
was required The result in Roman civili-
zation took the form of gladiatorial COM
bats and the devouring of captives by wild
beasts. In this age we make in genera
ton the progress of century in ancient
times. Is it not calculated to give cause
to the enthusiastic athletes of the present
to reflect that their great grandchildren
may have to slay each other in the arena
to meet the popular demand for public
games?

GRAND ARMY RELIEF.

The action of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of the Grand Army in coming to the
relief of the starving Russians is one well
worthy of emulation by that body through
out the country. 1t is peculiarly fitting
that men united by a feeling of comrade-
ship, called forth by a devotion to patriotic
duty, should respond to the call for relief
from their suffering fellow men.
Inasmuch as the Russian system of gov
ernment is responsible in large measure,
if not entirely, for the present disaster,
it is little unfortunate that so much
prominence in making the gift should
have been given to the recognition Of
the Governments friendly action during
the Civil War. 1t would have been better
had the flour been forwarded simply as a
token of active sympathy with suffering
human beings. The condition of affairs is
in itself an all-suficient reason for humane
iberality.
But the help is needed, and the more Of
it that is received the greater will be the
relief of the peasantry. Perhaps, too, by
this practical recognition of the wisdom
and justice of its action in supporting our
Constitution, the Russian Government
may learn that by seeking to alleviate the
lot ofits peasantry it will. find the surest
way to our friendship.

lican ana a member of Mr.. Harrison's Cabi-
net. And this lack of Information seems to
permeate the entire article from which the
above is quoted. The public will be apt to
smile at the statement that Wilson, of West
Virginia, Russell, of Massachusetts,, and the
noisy Hartcr, of Ohio, are better equipped
public men than Senator Hill.
There is certainly provocation for smiles
in this exchange of opinions, but the
smiles will not be at the expense of the
Memphis paper. If the esteemed Conn
n1ercidI AdoertSser was not sufficiently in
formed of the recent silver fight to recog-
nize one of the leaders against free
coinage on the Democratic side, it might
have taken the trouble to consult Con-
gressional list in order to discover that the
Democratic Congressman representing the
district in which the capital of its own
State is located is Hon. Charles Tracey, of
Albany, who is now serving his second
term.
After which it seems pertinent to adopt
its own language, and say that the same
lack of information seems to permeate its
denial that Wilson, Russell and Harter
are better equipped public men than Hill.
They may not be his equal in setting up
conventions and manipulating elections;
but national leadership, and clear and sim
cere opinions on national issues are more
important than the arts of machine pol

STRIVE TO BE CLEAN,

Spring is the season of hope and in one
direction in particular it should be the
time for vigorous action. 1t is these days
of deceptive weather which are especially
disastrous in producinga receptivity for
the countless hordes of bacteria and dis
ease germs which surround the best regu-
lated communities. Custom has made
this the time for house-cleaning, and
scrubbing brushes and whitewash now
rightly reign supreme. Many are the
drains in this city which would be the bet
ter for a thorough overhauling, and far
from scarce are the spots where the alb
sence of disinfectants endangers public
health.
At all times agitation for the abolition
of crowded tenements and lodging rooms,
for the betterment Of our water supply,
and the establishment of public bath and
wash houses is in order. 1t is peculiarly
so just now. If we must wait for the
elimination of dirt from our atmosphere,
let us at least keep it as far as possible
from our water, our homes, our streets
and our public conveyances. If people
would but be persuaded to devote half as
much attention to the pursuit of health as
they do to dollar-chasing the effect on
rates of mortality would very soon be-
come apparent Prodigality in soap and
water and all the materials of cleanliness
is one of the truest forms of economy.
Cleanliness not only comes next to godli-
ness, ,butit is the very essential of all health.
We have teeming city and it behooves
us to bestir ourselves to cleanse it as far
as possible.

BErrER THAN NOTHING.

The House Committee on Railways and
Canals yesterday reported favorably an
appropriation of 100000 for the survey of
a ship canal from the Great Lakes to the
Hudson river. As recognizing the import
ance Of internal waterways this is a step
in the right direction. But it would have
been far better had the appropriation been
for the furtherance of canal to connect
Pittsburg with Lake Erie. THE DISPATCH
has emphasized the superior importance
of the latter project over the former. But,
although the committee has chosen for the
first place the scheme of secondary i'm
portance, a wedge has been inserted in the
mass of Congressional indifference which,
properly handled, will open the way for
the more important measure. If our
Representatives bestir themselves as they
should, the Pittsburg and Erie Canal
ought not to be kept waiting long for
Government assistance.

A coTEMPoRARY,s BAD BREAK.

Our esteemed cotemporary, the New
York Commercial Adoertiser, is always
bright except when ii undertakes the
function of apostle of the cause of David
Bennett Hill. When it shoulders that
burden it very clearly discloses tine fact
that it is straying into devious paths.
The Memphis Appeal -A0aIanche unbur-
dened its mind to the effect that there are
a large number of men in the Democratic
party better calculated to deal with public
questions than Hill, and mentioned among
them ''Wilson, of West Virginia; Harter, of
Ohio; Tracy, of New York; Campbell, of
Ohio; Pattison, of Pennsylvania; Russell,
of Massachusetts,; Boies, of Iowa; Palmer
and Morrison, of Illinois, could be named"
The Commercial AdUertiser thereupon
brings itself to grief with the following
comment:

WORK OF OHIO LAWMAKERA
Street Railways to Have q Whaok at 90
Year Franchises.

Year Franchises.
CoLUMBUs O., April 7.-[SDecidl. 1-Twenty-
three towns and small cities in Ohio have
been authorized by the present Legislature
to construct water works. The latest is
Bridgeport, Belmont county, which 1t en-
powered by a bill passed by the House to-
day to issue Sc, 600 bonds and erect plant.
The Mcconnell Sunday anti-shaving bill
was to-day made a law, the House agreeing
bill increased the penalty for violation of
the common labor law, and the Senate re-
duced the penalty to the same fine which is
prescribed for the violation of the law
which prohibits any labor on the Sabbath
day. -.-
The Spencer bill to authorize City Coun-
ellis to grant 80 years franchises to street
railroad companies came up as special Or
der. The bill provides that such companies
shall pay certain per cent or their gross
annual receipts into their city treasury,
tions and special taxes and assessments,
such as paying for street paving between
their tracks. There was considerable dis
cussion on the bill. The friends claimed It
enable cities to receive cash for these
franchises where they got nothing
now. 1t would make the stock of street
railroads more valuable. The opponents of
the bill claimed the bill was granting away
the rights of future generation, and there
would ba no remedy when once the City
railroad corporations. They claimed the
bill was in the interest of street car COM
panies and not the people. These corpora
tions had influential Representatives in the
lobby working for them, but the cities had
none except the Senators themselves. The
bill was passed by vote of 20 to Z, and
clinched by defeating motion to reconsider
the vote.
The Senate passed the antiAdams Ex-
press bill cutting Off long piece of its
stlnger. Shortly after the Adams Express
Company discharged a number of its en-
.ployes for belonging to an organization, a
bill was introduced imposing penalty of
$500 and one year in the penitentiary upon
any company for discharging employees on
such grounds. Nh. Forbes amended the bill
reducing the penalty to 800 or six months
in jail. The bill as amended received 20
votes and was passed.
