II Must TO Done.

Some OF our Republican friends dcprocate
ns unwiso and inoDpoituno tho prominence
giyon by tho Democratic leaders In Con-
gross to the repeal OF Federal Election laws,
which since 1871 have discredited the rights
and liberties OF the people through interior
Ing with State control OF elections. Post
pone until next year. or the year after, say
the Republicans. tho repeal Of the odious
and unconstitutional statutes, which 1T Is
now In the power Of Democratic Represent
sHves to do away with, never to DO revived.
Wait, at least. until the currency question

Silver Purchase bill.
Tho Republicans pursued last year tho
policy which they now recommend to the
Democracy, and the disasters into which 1t
plunged them should serve as warning
to Democrats to travel some other road.
Political parties In the United States APP
peal to the enthusiasm. confidence. and
support Of great bodies OF voters upon seri-
Gus and sober considerations. The Repub-
lican party was illustrious. during its early
years Of life and growth. as the defender
Of human liberty and the opponent OF the
thraldom OF slavery. Tho Democratic party
has always been tho champion and de-
fender OF public rights. within the protec-
ton Of the Constitution. Disputes over
monetary questions are inevitable in any
representative government; controversies
over tariff schedules and coinage regula-
tons are also unavoidable. But both arc
OF subordinate Importance. In tho view OF
the great majority Of voters. to grayer
questions Of popular liberties and rights.
That is one Of the reasons why the Re-
publicans and their tariff tables were
knocked into q cooked hat last November,
and why the Democracy would deserve no
better fate this year, IL its representatives
should now falter In keeping its pledge to
restore the rule OF the Constitution in eloc-
tions. In tax gathering, in preserving the
interests Of the nation abroad. and in pre-
serving the rights Of it's people at home.

the Republican idea Of Democracy. but it is |
not the real Democracy.

An Honest Plan.

Our old protectonist friend, the Philadet-

A Surprising Comparison.

The Tribune takes the view that the late
Chicago Parliament OF Religions has served
auseful purpose. in that sit has proved that,
however excellent the other great religions
may be. and however adapted they may be
to tho peoples that accept them. Christian
ity holds place OF supremacy in Il cviliza-
ton which Is itself incomparably superior
to any other civilization that the world has
ever SEEN"
If that Is all the Tribune can say for
Christianity, what becomes OF the declara-
ton and the faith that it Is the religion
taught to men by GOD Himself in person and
on earth? II the New Testament Is true,
IL the Incarnation is fact, the words of
our neighbor are shockingly profane and
even blasphemOus.
Shall men judge COP? Shall those who
believe that Christianity came directly from
COP incarnate consent to submit the pure
and perfect religion taught by Him to a
comparison with other religions. claiming
for it mere superiority on the ground that
cit holds place Of supremacy in civiliza-
ton which is itself incomparably superior
TO any other civilization
Christianity is not comparable with any
other religion il the faith in it be true.
Either it Is the religion which came from
GODS own lips. and therefore the only true
religion. or the story Of the Incarnation is a
fable. and Christianity Is based on i'm
posture.

was the watchword OF the Prcsiden-
tial candidate nominated on the first
ballot, upon this platform. He had en-
ployed previously this phrase in an adj
dress to the Democratic voters OF tho busy
manufacturing State OF Rhode Island, as
embodying his views on the system OF tariff
taxes then existing. The Democracy Is
pledged to do away with the whole plan of
discriminating favoritism to any industry.
All industries are to be alike in the
eye OF tho taxing power and before the law.
Each must pay its even and equitable share
OF the common burden necessary for the
maintenance in honor and utility OF the
Federal Government OF the United States.
In the face of this great principle. so
recently approved by large majority OF
the people, what can the Democratic Gov |
ernor OF West Virginia mean when he talks
about exempting foreign coal from an i'm !
port tax? Why should coal be exempt any !
moro than any other product or manufac- !
ture2 Why should the share OF one inter-
est or industry be shifted. unjustly and un-
upon other interests or
industries
The Governor of West Virginia. who seeks
to preserve coal from the great levelling
process OF @ Democratic tariff for revenue
only, should read the election returns OF
November. 1892. West Virginia then gave
|. TIA majority against protection.

The question whether women should
smoke tobacco is now discussed very ear
nestly in England. our London correspond
ent telegraphs Mrs. LYNN LYSToN. n

tends IL seems. that smoking is only a
manifestation OF 1.-The determination of
modern woman to ignore the limitations.
the npportionments. the conventional pro-
pricties. as we'll as the elemental differences
of SEX"
Tho truth is that the use OF tobacco by
women is not new practice, and proper
tionately to their numbers probably it has
decreased rather than increased In our day.
In Spain and in Spanish South America
women have smoked for many generations.
\ few individual women have also been
smokers in all European countries and in
this country during the same period; and
now the practice only continues in the same
wav. 1t is not the rule. but tho exception.
Moreover. formerly the fashion OF using
snuff was prevalent among old ladies. but
now it is almost unknown. Proportion
ately the feminine snuff takers of the past
were many and the women smokers Of the
present are few.
Smoking by women. therefore. is not a
crying evil. 1t Is not vice against which
society needs TO rise up in alarm. Instead
of using tobacco more generally. women
are using it less, under the larger liberty
which they enjoy at present. Mrs. LYN-
TONS assault on the modern woman is
uniustifable. The modern woman Is both
a more beautiful and more sensible crea-
ture than the woman OF the past. Under
the liberty to which Mrs. LYSToN objects
she Is developing in all graces. moral and
physical. as never before.
