''Music and Morals was a subject
POLITICALLY and practically presented to
the congress by the noted English
preacher, Rev. III. r. Haweis. Chris
tianity and Litera ture" had as its dis
! tinguished and learned exponent Prof
George 2. Fisher, of Yale, and Chris
tianity and Litera ture'' was an equally
fascinating subject, treated by no less
an authority than Rev. Theodore /.
Munger, of New Haven. Conn CAR
bitration" and The Duty of America
to China" were other practical sub
Jects comprehensively presented.
A SwedenbOrgian, member of the
Paulist convent, of New York, and the
celebrat ted revivalist, Rev. B. Fay
Mills, were also among the speakers
OF the great cosmopolitan religious
parliament. Prof. Max Muller, the bril-
liant philologist, and Lady Henry
Somerset the representative Of highest
and nObltst WOmanhOOd, sent letters
that were read before the congress.
In addition to the main congress
there have been and are still in ses-
sion many UNCONVENTIONAL congresses,
one of the most notable of which was
the conference Of the Theosophists,
which was attended by VIM. Q. Judge,
Anna Besant and other astral lumin-
aries.

Clergy and lai1y throughout the
world are today asking the pertinent
question. What will be the effect
OF the parliament of religion? That
the gathering has been replete with
race-wide and perpetual significance"
tnere can be no doubt. One effect of
the parliament will doubtless be to
make churchmen everywhere respect
bhefs THAT through Ignorance have
been repugnant to them, and to be
more controversially courteous. An
other effect Will be a more thorough
study Of comparative theology from
the standpoint of history 1t is not
likely that the parliament will make
many converts to Northumberland.
buddhism or Confucianism, because
the great mass of believers care less
for forms of theology than they do for
the spirit of christianity in it's opera
ton upon the needs of their daily
lives. That the parliament will have
a tendency to bring believers in Chris
tlanity into closer paths is certain.
Already one practical effect of the
congress along this line has been felt.
The brotherhood of Christian Unity,
which was recently organized has
had many unite with it during the
past two weeks for the purpose of
"Crystalzing and perpetuating that re-
markable spirit of unity which has
characterized the Worlds Parliament
of Religions" The formula of the
brotherhood is simplicity itself, as
follows:
For the purpose of uniting with all
who desire to serve God and their
fellow men, under the inspiration of
the life and teachings Of Jesus Christ,
L hereby enroll myself as a member
OF the Brotherhood of Christian Unity"
The most significant feature of the
parliament of religions is the fact that
only in this western republic could
such marvellous conference have
been Planned and achieved. That be-
ing true, there is, indeed, hope for
the union of ChriStendOm.

A deeply significant feature of the
parliament of religions has been the
prominence therein of representatives
of the Oriental religions. These wise
men of the east simply made their
presence known on the first two days
of the parliament, but on the third
day completely captured the audience
by able presentations of their doctrines.
The session of Wednesday, Sept. Is,
will ever be a memorable one The
chief addresses of the day We're those
of z. c. Mozoomdar, of India; Arch
bishop LataS, of Zante, Greece, and
Pung Quang Yu. of the Chinese Legal
ton at Washington.
Mr. Mozoomdar will clearly rank as
the leading orator of the parliament of
religions. He spoke cleaTy and con-
vincingly of the Brahmo- Somaj, the
new religion of India. This, he de-
clared, was a monotheism based upon
all scriptures-a religious principle las
the natural result of the indwelling of
i Gods spirit within our fellow believ-
erS." The archbishop of Zante gave an
account, fascinating in its interest, of
the early history of Christianity n
Greece. He spoke in English, using
earnest gestures. In closing, the arch
bishop impressively lifted his hands
and his eyes heayenward to God and
led the vast asSemblage in prayer. The
paper of Pung Quang Yu on "Confu,
cianiSm'' was read by another, preced
ing which an enthusiastic demonStra-
ton was given the distinguished Chin
csc diplomat. DR.. Barrows INTRODUCED

labor and the successful one merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who he'ps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it,. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club

spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a simple

suit to show for his work-one that will com

BE JUST.
Louisiana Review.

1 Wv
An article endeavoring to show that the
McEnery administration was unable to carry
on the affairs of the State, ON the proceeds OF
the six mills tax, whereas the Nichols and
Foster administration lave done SO and ac-
cumulated q surplus in the treasury, has been
published recently in a number of papers.
Why this attempt to throw discredit upon the
democratic administration of Governor Nc
Emery is BEING made at this time, we cannot
well discern. Since it has been made, it is but
simple justice to Governor McEnery that GER
tam 1acts should be presented which ought to
enter into the comparison, which facts have
been entirely omitted.
We have not time, just now, to delve into the
records and get exact figures, but we will ven
ture TO assert that our Stlmate i'll the total
will be found not to exceed the figures.
Wh1le the premises Of our contemporaries
are correctly taken in SO far as they apply to
the SIX mills tax, it is proper to note that the
assessments have been increased not less than
$40, 100000: In New Orleans, alone, an increase
OF $7,0OO,000h has been made for the current year
which does not figure in the $4,000, 900 referred
to, and which will, necessarily, contribute very
materially to swell the surplus in the State
treasury. Some Of the parishes show equally
notable increases Of assessments.
The tax limit, however, remains the
same.
An increase of $40, O0O, 200 in the valuation of
$24O, 900. "A'
Therefore, these increased assessments with
out a corresponding decrease of the tax, are
equivalent to an increased taxation of l mill.
Furthermore, the increase in the licenses,
since the McEnery administration, has doubled
the revenue from licenses, and we can safely
put down the amount at 1926, 900.
This amount of increase in licenses is equiva-
lent to an additional tax of one mill upon the
taxable property.
This would give in round numbers $465. 900
more to run the State government, annually,
than, the McEnery administration had at its
IN
1t would be remarkable, indeed, if that sum
did not leave a handsome surplus in the
AS this increase of revenue from licenses and |
assessments is equivalent to a raise of 2 mills,
GOV. McEnery was not far wrong when he said
that an increase of l mill was required on the
then existing.
although the McEnery administration did
not have this $465, 600 a year at it's command,
the warrants now outstanding against the
Witt and McEnery administrations, for eight
years, will not exceed $500, 900.
Yet the administration of Witt and Me-
Emery had extraordinary obligations and ex-
to meet, viz:
