SENSATIONAL REPORT.
The Religious Herald VIII Say Their"
Ar. No Grounds for II.

The Religious Herald tomorrow viii
print an editorial relative to the possible
union of the Baptist and Disciples
Churches. II gives the history of the
division from the Dover Association in
1892, from which the Church of Disciples
was formed. and treats as sensational
the reports which have been published IN
the New York Herald and other papers
concerning the alleged union. The ques-
ton is discussed in a dispassionate way,
and i'm the spirit of Christian charity.
The Religious Herald among other things.
will say:
Intelligent Baptists need not be told.
of course, that the only foundation for
these exaggerated and sensational state
ments is TO be found in the utterances of
few persons as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
closer relations between the two denoml-
nations. Nothing has been done more
than this. Nothing more is likely TO be
done. We say this with no unkind feel
ings for the Disciples. We bid them God
speed I'm all their plans for doing good.
and we believe that so long as they hold
TO their distinctive UNCONVENTIONAL posi-
ton, it will be all the better for them.

Calamity bowler, avaunt! A new
era of prosperity is upon us: The
financial crisis is over; the Mckinley
law has been repealed. Says The Chi
cage Herald:
1.-THE relief Is being felt everywhere,
and evidence of 1t may be seen In the
glowing furnaces, In the whirling
spindles, In the busy workshops and In
the offices Of merchants. With this
impressive testimony before their eyes,
are the people again ready to give
power to the high takers to overturn
this prosperity"
The Democrat is unwilling to be.
lieve that the American people are
ready to return to Mckinleyism by
turning congress over to the control of
the Republicans. Democracy courts
the issue, and rejoiccs that u yindica-
ton Of the partial relief which has
already been secured through lower
rates of tariff taxation, Is furnished In
the the unmistakable signs of reviving
business in every trade center of the
country.
