A REJECTED ARTICLE,

AS the sincere expression of an hon

that it may cause reflection and lead
to good, we to-day publish on first page
communication written last June by
the editor of The LEADER for the New
Orleans Christian Advocate. In send

DR.. Carter, the then editor, if it's pub

A Valuable Book.

. The orations delivered ut the re-
cent National Inter Collegiate
Prohibition contest in Chicago
were heard by an audience of the
brainiest Prohibitionists in the
country, and were pronounced
among the finest polcmic produc-
tons the Prohibition party has
occasioned. 1t was, beyond
doubt, the most closely contested
oratorical battle ever fought on
American soil. The thirteen young
men participating were winners
of first honors in as many similar
State contests and the event was
Il memorable one. 1t marked the
beginning of a new era insthe his
tory of college organization and
of the Prohibition party. AS
Pres. Ayle.worth, of Iowa, says,
at was probably one of the most
significant of Chicago's many con-
ventions.

eoyERsMESr FINANCES.

A Washington dispatch says
sThe present expectation of Chair
man Wilson is that his committee will
have a tariff bill ready for the consid-
GRAFTON of the House by the LIST of No
vember next, but certainly not before.
A very urgent question which may be
forced to the front at an early day is
the necessity for making some provis-
ion to put money into the treasury
to meet the current obligations of the
government There is deficiency of
from s10,0OO,OOO to sll,0O0,OO0 in sight
already, and the revenues are running
behind the expenditures to the amount
of fully s3oo,OOO daily.
ut is obvious some method must be
devised to check or meet this alarming
deficit. The alternatives before Con-
gress seem to be limited to three: l..
A new issue of government bonds; =.
An income tax or some other new i'm
post; or, 3. An increase of rate in one
or more of the existing forms of taxa
ton.
Rigid economy in appropriations
will not suffice to meet the difficulty.
The fixed and unavoidable expenses
Of the government are at the present
moment in excess of its income. Or,
perhaps a better way to put the case,
is that owing to the financial stringen-
cy and the consequent falling off in re-
ceipts from internal revenue taxes on
the distilled spirits, tobacco, etc, and
owing to the tariff uncertainties and
the monetary stringency, combined
with occasional falling off of customs
receipts from imports, the daily reve-
nues of the government are consider
ably less than the compulsory daily
expenditures, for pensions and the or
binary expenses of the government.

Sympathy.

Human sympathy is a grand
attribute. In its sublimity it al
most reaches up to the Divine
throne and holds communion with
the Almighty, but like everything
else when it is abused, a train of
evils follows in its wake.
The sympathy which says the
red handed assassin and the bold
robber should be turned loose to
prey on society is sympathy that
harms state. 1t creates SEN
timent in favor of murder. 1t
sways the public mind and CON
dones crimes that should be pun
ished. 1t permeates the jury box
and oftentimes decides the case of
a black-hearted wretch favorably
when he should have been hung.
This sympathy which prompts
people to loving deeds of charity,
to minister to the wants of those
unable to provide for themselves
is God-liko, God given and will be
crowned, but sympathy for a vic
ious criminals has done more to
increase crime, possibly, than
anything else. sympathy is a
noble impulse, but it should new
er clog the wheels of justice.

The venerable and honored Bishop
Keener "dabbled in politics" last week
by publishing in the New Orleans
Christian Advocate nearly three
column article on silver, in which he
takes issue with President Cleveland
and his Administration. The article
is an able and timely one, and The
LEADER mentions it not to criticize
but to commend its distinguished au-
thor for the interest he thus evinces i'll
a great current political question. We
also desire to express the hope mot
ironically, either.) that ere long we
shall see the good bishop and many of
the lesser dignitaries of his church
''dabbling in politics. and doing them
selves and the church honor by taking
the President, Secretary Carlisle and
the Democratic party to task for their
very vulnerable attitude on the liquor
question. Why not?

Fetter's Southern Magazine for Sep
TENDER maintains the excellent repu-
tation of this popular periodical. The
leading article on american Architec-
ture-Its Past and Promise" by lone
Estes Dodd, commands the attention
of the reader throughout. The au-
thor's complete mastery of the subject
is manifest in every line, and the
clearness and elegance of literary
style will please the lay reader. The
illustrations accompanying the article
are drawn by the well-knowp architect,
w. j. Dodd, and some of them are
quite ingenious, notably the similarity
shown to exist between the style of
dwellings and the head-dress of Asiat-
ic and European people.

exit Silver" is the exultant shout
with which the New York Post halls
the news from Washington concerning
the probable repeal of the Sherman
act. It is the manifest determination
of certain advocates of repeal to make
the passage of the Wilson bill the

the trouble and excited all the opposi-
ton to the prompt removal from the
statute books of law which no party
advocates or upholds.

a single silver dollar today circulating

circulation of the country.

but this repeal shall not impair, or in
any manner affect the legal tender
quality of the standard silver dollars
heretofore coined; and the faith and

the same is hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to be the
policy of the United States to contin-

and in the payment of debts.
And it is hereby further declared
that the efforts of the government
should be steadily directed to the es-
tablishment of such safe system of
bimetallism as will maintain at all
times the equal power of every dollar
coined or issued by the State in the
markets and in the payment of debts.
The Wilson bill passed the House by
vote of 239 to ITO, giving it MAORI
ty of 129, and was carried Immediately
over to the Senate, where it was refer

day yet set for taking vote.

First Time la Thirty-FOur Years.

When Congress met August 7th the
Democratic party for the first time in
over third of a century entered into
undiSputed power in the National Gov
eminent. Not since James L. Orr, of
South Carolina, laid down the Speak
er's gavel on March 4, 1853, has a Con-
gress Democratic in both branches
greeted Democratic President. That
date was the middle of Buchanan's
term in the Presidency. In the latter
half oil his term the Republicans con-
trolled the House, William Pennington
of New Jersey, being Speaker. Dur
ing the war and reconstruction periods
the Republicans bore sway in both
branches of Congress. From March 4.
1879. to the same day of the same month
i'll 1881, the Democrats controlled the
House, and i'll the last two years of this
period they controlled the Senate al
so, but Grant was in the Presidency in
the earlier two years of this time and
Hayes in the later four years. Since
1S19-8l the Democrats never had a ma
jority in the Senate until now although
in 1873 that body was tie, an Inde-
pendent and a Readjuster holding the
balance. Virtually though, the Repub-
licans swayed that body. During Cleve-
lands first term and for two years pre-
ceding, while Arthur was in the Presi-
dency, or from 1888 to 1889, the Demo
Gratis were in the preponderance in the
House, but the Senate was held by the
Republicans, and in 1913 the Demo
cratic House was confronted by Re-
publican President as well as by Re-
publican Senate. This is the first time
therefore in thirty-f four years that the
destinies of the Government are I'M
restrictedly in the keeping of the DEM
ocratic party.-GlObe- Democrat.

1t is to their credit, and The LEADER
wishes to award them praise accord

stage of the fight in the House. Mr..

time laboring under the hallucination

DESIGNED by Women.

Among the wall papers of women's
designing the thistle is having its
day. and its prickly leaves and flowers
are thrown into the design fer a
charming wall paper The ground is
a very pale olive, almost gray. The
leaves, not unlike the acanthuS form
scrolls, and in the center are the
flowers in their soft pinky purple
coloring. The frieze shows the pat
tern enlarged. A second paper that
seemed just the thing for a country
house had brown ground so pale
that it is almost cream color, sprinkled
with wreathes of yellow wild roses
tied with floating ribbons of the same
color On the ground between were
tiny butterflies. A third design,
showing pale-pink double roses, open
so as to show the creamy centers, had
the brier-set stems used as the leaf
scrolls are in the thistle design.
