REvIvALISM VS.. RELIGION,

The blessed influence of churches, min
listers and religion is one thing; revival
methods with their ordinary disfgure-
ments, whether IN temperance or religion,
are quite another thing. As a rule re-
vlvalists, especially in temperance, stoop
TO vulgar and incredible anecdote and
extravagant talk, on the ground that some
natures require dramatic and stage tricks.
This is mere assumption; the modern
ant nor uncultured world than did their
great Master, and His methods and talk
were always sober, simple and effective,
equally Ineligible to princes and peas
ants, and he never set the example of
pious frauds of any sort.
Just so long as man is treated as an an
imal, whose soul is to be stirred by stimu-
lants that are directed at the nervous sys-
TEN, Just so long dreary reaction from re-
hgious debauchery will take place; Just so
long simple, honest, truthful natures will
shrink back In disgust from what is mis-
called religious and temperance revivals.
Qusckery in medicine sells more drugs
but the methods of science save life by
restoring health. Revivalism is the ouack-
cry and materialism of religion as opposed
20 its truth and spirituality. The spirit

SEATTLE, SUNDAY. MARCH "a.
WALT WHITMAN.

In the death of Walt Whitman the world
loses a true poet, and writer of fine prose,
Miltonic in its deep, grand organ swell and
harmony. Our country loses a true
American; man OF the loftiest patriotism
and finest attributes of unsullied national
manhood. That Whitman was a true
poet of Homerie quality was the judg-
ment Of Emerson, Tennyson, Stedman,
Sir Edwin Arnold and Swinburne, all men
competent to distinguish genuine
poetic quality from pretence. Bound
less sympathy with humanity was
the key note of his genius.
A man of unsullied purity and grandeur
of motives and character, he enjoyed the
friendship of Lincoln, Grant, Emerson,
Whittier, Charles A. Dana, George Will
lam Curtis, Holmes, in short of nearly
every great civic or literary figure of his
day and generation. When the war broke
out Whitman went to the front to nurse
the sick and wounded, and it is estimated
that he personally ministered to over 100,-
600 men. Exposure shattered his fine
physique, and for the last fifteen years he
has suffered from recurrent attacks. of
paralysis. A lover of nature and outdoor
life, he had much of that spirit
that made Hawthorne prefer the spontane-
eous talk of sea captains and other
unspoiled, manly folk to the idle chat of
culture and the gabbie of good society,""
He believed that really great poetry is
always the result OF national spirit and
not the privilege of polished and select
few. His ideal of womanhood is noble;
his reverence for old age exceptionally
sincere; he believed in the widest COM
radeship and the most boundless fellow
ship of man with man. His prose is
always poetic and some of his poems are
the baldest prose- Ii anybody doubts the
read his dirge on Lincoln, "When Lilacs
Last in the Dooryard Bloomed;" if any,
body doubts the exquisite tenderness of
his spirit let him read Captain, Oh, My
Captain"
In some of his early poems he speaks
with Biblical plainness and directness in
his treatment of the facts that lie at the
base of creation; the facts of sex, which
has excited deep and unjust prejudice
against the poet, whose principles were
pure and his life without stain of levlty or
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Whitman was a great
figure, of commanding patriotic PERSONAL
ity and deep spirituality. Among his late
utterances is the following, which gives a
clue to the predominant quality of the
man:
say tho profoundest service that poems or
any other writings can do for their reader is not
merely to satisfy the intellect or supply some
thing polished and interesting, nor even to de-
pict great passions, or persons, events, but to
I'LL him with vigorous and clean mAnliness, re-
ligiousness, and give him good heart as rad
ical possession and habit.

norant PROCLAMATION of holy things or the
shibboleth of sentimental scoundrel,
fiuctuating between animal alarm or the
vulgar vanity and self-congratulation that
is fed by the cheap device of hearing our
selves stalk good"
There are, of course, revivals and re-
vivals. 1t is possible to conceive OF re-
vival that might present the spiritualities
of Christianity with perfect simplicity,
soberness and power, as Spurgeon ana
Moody presented them, but revival must
for real and not fictitious good be
the soberness, simplicity and power OF
truth. No candid critic cares how fervent
truth, but there must be no touch of meio-
drama in it; no cheap, lying anecdote to
give it theatric effect upon minds already
morbid and maudlin with habitual sins OF
gross character.
The number of agonized converts is no
more test of the truth and value OF
preachers or temperance reformer's word
than is the thunder of applause that any
noisy. sensational demagogue can win be-
fore an average audience, while his COM
petitor, who is content to calmly con-
fine himself to what will bear the test
of thought and logic passes for bore, and
yet the bore who makes one man think,
who enlarges one mans intelligence, has
done his day real service compared with
the demagogue whose crowd of converts is
as worthless to the world as before, for
they have only had their skin sensibilities
scratched and stimulated, not their true
purified

his attentions to the Princess Mathilde, and
once, when that lady invited Edmond About,

announced, and. entering the room, found the
princess and the author chatting together "Do
not be jealous, it is only l." said About in q

she said: give orders to have the plate of NJ.

best thing he could do in order to solve the
mystery was to see II the berries would have
exactly the same effect on his own spirits as on
those OF the lower animals. So he made hearty
meal Of the fruit and leaves OF the shrub, and at
once all anxieties and grief disappeared from
his mind and he became as jocund as his own
goats. The story goes on to relate how his wife
and friends failed to understand the reason OF
this remarkable elevation OF spirits, and roundly
accused the dervish of being intoxicated. In
order to prove his innocence of this charge the
offender could only produce some leaves and
berries OF the tree which had so much exhila-
rated him, and request his aeeusers to try
their effect. They tasted and became converted,
and that was how people FIRST took to drinking

The Wheat Blockade.

Huron, s. D., Special, Nov. 29.---Chairman
1tice, of the state railway commission, went
to the southern part Of the state to-day to
secure, if possible, Il break in the wheat
blockade. He estimates that over a million
bushels Of wheat are stored in warehouses
and elevators on various lines Of road in
South Dakota awaiting shipment. The
Northwestern has added ten locomotives to
the Dakota Contra! division the past week,
and is doing its utmost to relieve the over
burdened elevators and warehouses. Over
200 car loads have been sent from this i'm
mediate vicinity during the past twenty
fo Ino d hours. On this division alone over
LOCO, 900 bushels Of wheat were shipped
to Eastern markets last month. The deer
snow in the northern part Of the state will
delay threshing and hauling OF grain to
market, and thus give the railways an OPP
portunity to relieve points where buying has
ceased because Of no storage. The present
1IOt is worse than that experience Of
last November and is likely to continue till
the middle of February. The Milwaukee
line has added largely to its rolling stock
but is unable to meet the demands of ship
pers. At many points on that line buyers
have given notice to farmers not to haul
grain to market as it could not be received.

Chronic KickerS.

London, Nov. 29.---The Post, discussing
the currency question and the conference
at Brussels, complains that Senator Allison
is representative merely of the silver party
in the United States and that therefore lit
tie can be hoped for from the conference, as
there will be no chance to util-
lze silver as q subsidiary cur
rency. The Vienna correspondent of the
Chronicle says: ''The American proposals
at the Brussels monetary conference being
a repetition of the bi-metallic programme
rejected at the conferences Of 1878 and 1881
have, caused disappointment here, as they
fail to supply basis for further discus
sion without raising false hopes in the sill
yer market: RothschiIds proposal is also
regarded with anxiety The Times Brus-
bates Of the conference justify the belief
that it will yield only negative results, and
that so far the Americans have found the
support of only the Dutch delegates, all
others maintaining strict reserve, ami es-
pecially those from Germany and Austria.
