The condition Of Mr. Blaine this morn
ing as given out by the attendant at the
door is about the same as yesterday. Dr.
Johnston at noon had been in attendance
upon the patient for an hour His visit
gives rise to the impression that Mr.
Blaine's illness may have assumed an un-
favorable turn, as the physicians visit at
that hour was an unusual one.

ing DIR. Johnston said that he would not

The secretaries Of state and treasury, it

the whole matter with a view TO carrying
out the line Of policy indicated by the REF
erence TO the subject in the president 5
message, and tie uncertainty as to just
how much the president is in earnest in
the matter is what is troubling those in

and who want TO have the present, to them
very beneficial, policy continued.
The repre Sentatives of the great Ameri-
can trunk lines ipjuriously affec ed by the
policy now in force, are quietly but
energetically encouraging the move, and
are confident that some definite result

They say that there is just one way to
bring Canada to terms on the unjust and
irritating determinations made 10y her
against many American interests, and
that is by cutting off those transportation
favors granted ber railroads by our gov
srnment. as their claim is that Canada's
commercial life and vitality are largely
centered in the benefits obtained through
her two great trunk lines and that some
decisive move on the part Of the admins
tration Will result not only in bringing
CanaGa down from Ner uDJuSJ aLtituut

to such readjustment of questions Of
transportation CT American merchandise

present system, fairer and better rights in

largely monopolized by foreign roads.
OTTAWA, Can, Dec 3L-Hon. Mckenzie
Bowen, speaking of the report from Wash
inOrnN that IJFHEfGppt Harrison GaS
decided to strike a last blow at Canada by
abolishing the bonding privileges now
enjoyed by the Canadian railways, said
that the threat had come so often that the
Canadians were prepared for IT, There
was no disputing the fact he said, that
the abolition of such privileges would be IA
serious blow to Canadian trade, but unless
Canada would submit willingly TO a very
one-sided arrangement the blow would
operate both WAYS.

ACTIVE pRosEIYrERs.

A new menace to Christianity has
made its appearance from the East, and
within a few months has obtained a
foothold on our continent that few
years ago would have been regarded as
impossible. Disciples of Islam and of
Brahma have arrived in the throngs
that visited the worlds the worlds fair,
and since its close have renamed to
propagate the faith in which they have
been reared. In New York, Boston and
Chicago the propaganda has been active,
and already there are gathered together
groups of intelligent men and women
who, seated at the feet Of these modern
Gai1aliels, are learning what there is of
truth and reason and worth in the an
cient religions that are, however, new
in America.
The Mohammedan propaganda is prob
ably the most aggressive of the two.
Not only have societies been formed for
its propagation, but weekly journal
has been established which is conducted
with rare ability, and by contrasting
the moral conditions prevailing in Chris
tian and Mohammedan countries makes

religion founded by the prophet Brah-
mlnism is as yet more of study than
faith among our people. Its apostles
have chosen to court inquiry and discus
sion, and clubs have been formed in
many of the larger cities having for
their purpose complete understanding
of the faith. Scholars are sought and
induced to inquire into it. and find that
in many respects the moral effect pro-
duced upon people is beneficial and in
every way praiseworthy. And, while
the converts to that faith do not abandon
Christianity, they add to it some of the
underlying theories of Brahminism, aud
claim that thereby they have completed
the symmetry of their belief, reconciling
differences between precept and reason,
revelation and experience.
alt cannot be denied that there is in
Christianity, as taught by some sects,
much against which reason revolts.
Men are asked to believe implicitly in
dogmas and doctrines without inquiring
into their authenticity or author
ity. In formsr ages, when in
telligence was less generally diff
fused. and education was restricted
to the privileged few. such blind faith
was to be expected: but in these days,

Every SUNDAY GLOBE is a great pa

marvel of completeness. and every

You will want to read it before you

after your Sunday dinner, and you will
want to sit up after you have attended
evening service and read it some more.
We give this morning great Repub-

by a great Democratic symposium on
the same topic.
The sketch Of the RockefelIers. eur

and numerous other special. exclusive

surprisingly interesting.
But really to enumerate is unneces-

overlooked, and the news of the whole

No matter which one or all of the

sNEAKs AS REFoRMERs.

There is much to be said in praise of
reformers, although their methods do
not always call for commentator. Rad
icals have been the pioneers of progress
Ill every age of the world, and they have
been martyrs to ignorance and supersti-
ton. They have been denounced as
fanatics, and ostraclSed from govern
mental functions and society The rad
icals of the world have not had fiowery
path to tread. They have confronted
the gallows, the fury of wild beasts and
the sword. They have been burned at
the stake and flung into the sea; they
have suffered physical fortunes and
mental anguish, and yet they have per-
severed, and the world is the better for
their having lived in it.
Yet all that these radicals have done
in the past, all that they are doing at
the present time, and all they contem-
plate In the future, is not wholly COM
mendable. There are many of them
VINO mistake intemperance for zeal, and
become prosecutors instead of reformers.
An instance in point is furnished by
recent occurrences in our sister city of
d
crusade in the interests of temperance
has been in progress that has developed
many phases of intemperance, and has
done more to retard the progress of the
cause of morality than all the saloons in
the city could possibly accomplish in
years. The war has been ostensibly
waged against the sale of liquor to minors
and on the Sabbath day, TO procure EVIL
dence against those guilty of an infrac-
ton of the law spies were employed,
who visited all the most reputable
saloons of the city, and by means often
the most desplcable induced the pro-
prietors to commit the misdemeanor
they sought to convict them OF. The
spies feigned sickness and procured
liquor as a remedy at hours that were
unlawful. They induced lads verging
closely upon their majority to visit
saloons and procure and drink LIQUOR in
order that the proprietors might be
prosecuted, and by other equally despi-
cable means sought to entangle the
Saloonkeepers in the meshes of the law.
In some instances they succeeded in
having heavy fines imposed; but, their
methods having been exposed, they
failed in their ultimate purpose of
securing the forfeiture of the license
of the saloonkeepers.
The community feels deep-seated
contempt for such men and the methods
they employ, and those who employ
them have no higher regard for them
than that entertained by the general
public. And yet they are encouraged
in the mistaken idea that they promote
the cause of temperance. No greater
error could exist Every dealer in liq-
uor has respect for an honest, straight
forward temperance advocate. He
recognizes the right of every man to his
opinion and his right to promote his
theories in every legitimate manner.
But no one has any respect for the
sneak or the informer who by false pre-
lenses seeks to tngratiate himself into
the favor of class for the purpose of
