MONDAY EVENING, OCT. Il, 1892.
The Philadelpbia Press says

"If the democrats had never been al
lowed to regain control OF the state
governments ofthe South, northern cap
ital would never have embarked IN the
development OF southern coal and iron;
and the surest and spcediest way 10
nut stop to this competition from men
who are our political enemies as well
as our commercial rivals is to carry
through and enforce measures like the
Lodge election law And if we can
once more get them into the condition
they were before 1876 We won't hear
any more about cheap iron and cheap
cotton goods from the South. They
will have other things TO think about. ,
The editor of the Press is the man
who was appointed I. 5. Minister to
Russia by Mr. Harrison and who has
recently come back to this country to
take part in the present campaign to
secure f!r. Harrison's reelection.
What he says on the subject referred to
fairly represents the feeling ofhis party,
and shows the people of the South what
their fate will be if Mr.. Harrison be re-
elected and have botl branches of Con-
eress to sustain him. And yet there
are southern men who are doing all
they can TO effect that object.

An Attnckon Columbus.

BosToN. Oct. 17.-At the Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church, Charles
town, yesterday, Rev. DR.. Parkhurst,
editor of the lions Herald. delivered
the address on Columbus" which was
q sort of a bombshell to the assembled
congregation, as the revered gentleman
assailed the character of the discoverer
of America. Dr.. ParNhurst sad /
am exceedingly sorry to be Obliged to
say tina Columbus will not stand the
test of close scrutiny and history shows
that he does not deserve the admiring
recognition he has been receiving for
four centuries. Investigation shows
that at heart he was very bad man;
in fact, think him the most consum-
mate liar that [ have ever found in the
history Of the country. He made ~
ing a fine art and practiced it all his
life. He proiessc,. 20 be profoundly re-
ligious, when, as matter Of fact, he
was very far from saint. You can
study his whole life and you will find
that it was one of fabricaturo and greed
for gold. He not only lied himself to
Ferdinand and Isabella, but he COM
PEELED his crew to lie also. Lying was
not his worst trait either, for he was
the first to established slavery in Amer
ioa which cursed the new country for
centuries.

ANT UNIoN.-The Bishop of Derry,
preaching in Derry Cathedrala Sunday
or two ago before the Governor and Wis
itation ofthe Irish Society, said-In Ire
land, and more especially in the North
there was :. 'ry uttered for Protestant
union. 1t was hoped by those who,
two centuries ago directed Il great
movement towards the North of Ire
land that this end would be effected by
the Established Church. The Estab-
lishment had beeh shattered TO pieces,
and there was an end of that. The
need of this union was descanted upon
in remarkable language eloquently,
and he fully believed in the main quite
truly, from that pulpit lately. For the
purpose of such union concessions must,
no doubt, be made, and concessions
were worth making, but speaking in
the house of God he was bound 10 say
there were some things which were nee
essary, and which, therefore, could not
be conceded. Take, for example, the
organization of which the late Bishop
of Durham said, I'VE dare not for any
immediate advantage, however great,
surrender the thrcefoldministry inherit
ed from apostolic times and which is the
historic backbone OF the Christian
Church." Take the instance Of the
great American Episcopal Church. AT
the close Of the War of Independence
the American Protestant Episcopal
Church labored under many disadvan-
tages. and under the suspicion of Tory
and British leanings, and there was
every reason for merging the separate
existence of the Church in that ofthe
Christian bodies by when it WAS sur
rounded. Even faithful men were
tempted to say that might he the best
course. One circumstance of the time
favored the ChWch-the influence Of
Washington-and now, after ninety
wears, the Church of Washington lives,
and moves, and grows, and holds its
own, and does work for Christ amid the
vast masses of the population. One Of
the most distinguished preachers Of
another communion said to an Ameri
can bishop, who told him Qhc preacher
Christianity in America, more especial

be without you; still less, then could
they in this land afford to surrender
their separate existence There were
some things they must keep to, andnow,
when he who addressed them had near
ly entered upon the twenty-liith year
of his Episcopal ministry, and
when the words sounded from
time to time in his ear, Give
an account of thy stewardship;
thou mayest be no longer steward,
there was in his heart deep hope
and an entire belief that the chain Of
Episcopal succession would not be lost
in ,b:5 diocese. Let them beware Of
resplintering what was already splint
cred, of dividing what God knows, was
divided enough, and of sectarianising
still more what was already sectarlan-
sed. Sir John Whitaker Ellis, Bart,
NJ. p, and the Deputy Governor oc-
cupied the canons stalls at the west
end of the church.-UlSter, Ireland,
