ing being done, there was nothing but
the ordinary theories of political economy
to discuss. Those might have been dis
cussed without the rancor that has
been deluging this country for twenty
five years; but such was not the case
because Of the party of great moral
ideas containing Blaine, Sherman,
Chandler, Ingalls,, Whitelaw Reid, Murat
Halstead and other men who, not hav.
ing had time to get ready to do any
fighting during the war, were mad at
Grant and Lincoln and Southern peo-
pie for ending it so soon. Those fellows
would not let the war, cease till they
got done. But the people got disgusted
before those fellows got done, and over
threw them and their party with a
vigor and an emphasis never before
known in this OF any other country.
Some of our contemporaries would do
well TO read up on the history referred
to here and try to comprehend its mean
ing.
The war is over and Cleveland. a
Democrat, who was not in it, is President
of these United States after having
assisted in the defeat of one Of the small
men, who was in it, by plurality Of
almost 100000 votes
Those events, II meditated upon with
that calmness and amisbility which
every rational and patriotic man tries to
cultivate, ought to make every man
proud of this great country and glad
that he is living in It. II he cannot
attain to that state Of composure and
sweetness, then he ought to determine,
at least, not to make himself nuisance
to those who are proud and glad-and
sensible.

The Girciine nabiA

A serious aspect Of the giggling habit
is that IL IS so nearly incorrigible. Man
nerisms of all kinds strike their roots
deeply, but ''hel hel" and "hai hai' be
come part and parcel Of the offenders
against reason and taste. That which
makes the listener nervous to irritabil-
ity, fretting the amiable into a desire TO
smother the meaningless caclile in the
throat that gives it birth if he cannot es-
cape beyond hearing of it, is practiced
involuntarily by the habitual laughter.
Like the famous button on the learned
advocates coat with which he fumbled
incessantly while pleading, the giggle
would, if suddenly taken away, deprive
its slave Of the power of speech. To
command gravely temperate articula-
ton would be to strike dumb.
The origin of the obnoxious trick Is OF
course IN youth and inexperience, and
almost always in native dihidence or
temporary embarrassment When the
girl has no fitting words at call. she gig
giles. When tho lad is oppressed by n
weight OF bashfulness and would swag-
ger it Off, he outlaws. In the tyrO's
opinion a laugh outdoes charity as a
cloak for every defect and extIicabes
him from the most trying position AZ
fectation Is an active ally IN the evil
work, and the ambition 10 be agreeable
brings up the rear guard.-Marion Har-

PROUD AND GLAD.

There are several pretty good men who
did not 60 to the war, several who be.
lieved that 1t was necessary and
cruel and several who did 60 but who are
not drawing pensions for chronic patriot
ism. Worse and more of It, there are
several who were fighting these old
soldiers to whom one Of our excited con-
temporaries refers, when in his intensely
loyal and iRcoherent haste, he says "Old
Veterans"
Considering those thingu; and consid-
ering, also, the fact that a writer, who is
not accurate and chase in iinging the
English and other unknown languages
about, may also be reckless in other ways
which require wisdom and amlability, il
not learning, our contemporary might 60
little slow and draw II little milder
when he distributes his structures upon
men who differ from him.
The war was over about thirty years
ago, when Lee surrendered. It was
understood then that there was to be
no more fighting; that one party sur.
rendered in good faith, and the other
party accepted the surrender with
equally good faith.
Both parties to that honorable con
tract were brave, gallant, honorable.
Grant and Lincoln meant what they
said, and Lee and Longstreet meant
what they said. 1t would not be any
more honorable for one TO take up arms
than for the other to overwhelm his late
adversary with trenchant and humili.
ating abuse after he had laid down his
arms.
1t was understood then, also that
when the fighting was done no brave
man would indulge in an abuse
which is harder to bear, though
safer to give, often than blows OF
wounds. That surrender made both
parties equal, and cemented the friend
ship and love of brothers, which had
been interrupted on the questions OF
states rights aud the right to hold
slaves in bondage as property.
1 Those questions settled and tn fight.

AN uNWIse SUPPRESSION.


The Presbyt erisns, unfortunately
have put themselves into a dilemms
from which they cannot escape without
damage.
DR.. Briggs and his party have beer
admitting with all the learned men OF
the Christian world, that there are
errors of texts in the Bible. The Bible
has boen translated into many Ian
guages, many times, and each time by
men-not by anything inerrant.
In some Of the copies the Interpolation:
and notes to previous copies have been
included in the text. In historic state
ment and In the statement Of some ply.
sical phenomena there are palpable errors,
which all men Of intelligence and eandor,
admit. They cannot maintain them as
truths without self qualification. They
say, however, that these things do not
affect their belief in the Bible, as the
inspired Word Of God that these errors
must have come into the Bible by means
Of the translations, or copies that were
made by men, who, even il ever so care.
full, were not infallible. Errors appear
now, in the work Of the most skillful
men with all the improvements Of
modern machinery.
Those opposed to the Briggs party
maintain that the Bible is the Word of
God. and that 1t must be inerrant. They
maintain that the admission OF error in
one respect opens the door to admit
error in all respects. That, II It is not
the truth in one case, it may not be true
in any case. They urge simply, and log.
ically too, that the Bible was written by
holy men Of old inspired by the Holy
Ghost and cannot be otherwise than
true-that it is infallible II their atten-
tion is called to errors, they declare that
to preserve their faith they must believe,
even against the evidence of their own
senses, that the errors are not errors.
Thus we have two parties. One main
tanning that the Bible, though written
by men inspired by the Holy Ghost is
errant; and, the other maintaining,
that, because inspired by the Holy Ghost,
IL cannot be errant. II must be true
that It is truth itself
This dilemma is unfortunate, Ibecause
both parties are positive, and neither
party is willing to admit possibility of
a compromise that will escape the d.
lemma
OF course there Is an escape; and, after
a generation or two OF fighting, the good
people, of both sides, will wonder why
there was ever bitter controversy on a
question that could have been settled by
the facts at hand, or left undlscussed as
immaterisl, like many other questions,
not essential to the plan Of salvation,
have been left till the facts should
appear
II would seem the part Of wisdom, as
well rs Of faith, to allow all possible
latitude in the discovery of textual and
verbal errors in the Bible. Being such a
grand work, judged by the high
est standard of mans achievement,
it will surely stand supreme as the
grandest, sweetest, noblest, most God
like code of morals that man can con-
ceive-even a greater and better code
than men can comprehend.
II this inquiry can be tyrannically sup
pressed within one church. It cannot
be suppressed outside. To suppress 1t
inside is, perhaps, not 50 much the
dictate OF wisdom as of intolerance;
not so much the dictate Of perfect conf
dence, as the suspicion of lack OF it.

managing editor 20 call upon Mr.. Low.
