REV MIR. JONES CREED KILTING.

The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, OF Chicago,
so the dispatches say, will break away, to-
yether with his congregation, from even the
trammels OF Unitarianism, pay back what his
present church owes to the general Unitarian
boiv. and establish a church for freer thought,
whose creed, as far as announced, seems to
be reading-rooms, bathrooms, and gymnas-
iums. In other words, Chicago is to have
something of a fac simile to the Peoples Pal
ace in the East End of London.
This movement will have strong orthodox
critics. They will say that the spiritual and
physical sides shouldn't be mixed up in the
same building: that some definite creed is
still needed to strengthened good impulses,
and that any Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion attachment should be well differentiated
from the main body of the church.
1t may be the truth that Mr.. Jones and the
ultra-orthodox are both working toward the
same end. The splendid influence OF the Y.
NJ. c. A. on the youth of the country has vim
dicated all old objections to such aids to
Christian manliness. Now Mr.. Jones is about
10 give the same opportunity to those who
cannot conscientiously affiliate with the re-
ligious opinions held by the great body OF the
Y. NJ c. A, and who want their church to be
at once the aid to their moral as well as to
their intellectual and physical selves.

PASS THE TARIFF BILL.

There is no excuse left to the Republican
Senators for continued obstruction to the
tariff bill Their own declarations, if moth
ing else, would prevent their taking such
course If the bill is so protectionist in its
makeup that Senators Aldrich and Allison and
other condemn it as being a complete back
down. they ought to rest satisfied with their
victory and allow the country to settle down
into quiet prosperity by an early adoption Of
the Jones schedules.
The Democrats are satisfied with the bill.
II the Republicans are, what is there to delay
about? II Republican discussion of each and
every paragraph of the bill after such a pro-
fession of acquiescence is not fllibustering,
it would be interesting to know just what it
is 1t certainly needs a name, as Senator
Vest suggests.
But 1t looks as if the Republican pretenses
of having converted the Democracy to pro-
lection were shams. 1t is all very well as
campaign ammunition, but it will avail little
else The bill makes heavy reductions. Not
as radical as had been hoped. Not as radical
as it ought to, to be tariff reform measure
in the truest sense of the word. But it is a
partial redemption Of the pledges made TO
the people, and to delay the passage of the
Lii by further talk will not avail the Republic
cans now.
one thing is certain. II the bill dies it will
rot be killed outright in the Democratic
camp. but it will be stifled by a process Of
as hyxiation called discussion which will
not oe so hard to detect as Republican leaders
ihink it viii.

cipals, not equal to the high standard it has
set for ITSELF The marvellous orchestral
music was spir;tedly and intelliGently rem

and the subtle, passionate sweetness OF the
love story between Faust and Margarite in
the third act was beautifully told in song by
Michelena and Miss Canterco. In that most
beautiful Duet in tie last scene they won the
enthusiastic admiration of the audience,
which had until then been rather cold.
Michelena is the third of the five tenors OF
the company. Marie Won Canterco in her
singing of Margarita was equal to the pas
sionate dramatic fervor and the tender sweet
ness that are both required She has made
most favorable impression. Ludovico Niyiani

Have Longer Sessions.
What course tho Democrats will pursue in tho
light of the Indefinite result of the caucus may
be developed during tho day and certainly will
be soon Tho leaders were unprepared to talk
for publication on the question when the Senate
convened, but they held numerous earnest con-
versations among themselves, in which they dis
cussed the wisdom of changing the present hour
of meeting 10 10 o'clock and of allowing the ses-
sions to run on indefinitely into the evening.
They admit that they are contemplating the test
of physical endurance usual In such cases as tniS
by prolong.ng the sessions far into through the
night, but they hesitate at this extreme course.
They are also somewhat doubtful about the adj
visibility Of an attempt TO prolong the hours, be-
they feel confident that such an effort Will
bring on retaliatory measures from the obstruc-
tive faction en- the Republican side and intro
duce an era OF quorum calls, motions to adjourn,
and calls for the reading OF long papers, from
which they hayo been comparatively free re-

They will take the chances on bringing about
this condition Of affairs however, and it is only
question of time when Senator Harris will renew
his resolutions for 10 o'clock sessions, unless ne
receives more positive assurance of dispatch OF
business from the Republican side OF the
cham ber than he has yet had
Senator Jones before comforting with his col
leagues the situation said 1t looked TO
him as If continuous sessions would have 20 be
resorted to very soon, as he was convinced tnat
they offered the only solution OF the problem.
Senator Harris said yesterday afternoon that
as more rapid progress has been made on the
tariff bill than any other previous day since the
schedules had been taken up, he would not press
his resolution for earlier sessions ~ do not"
he said, "want to throw q frebrand into an i'm

the matter stand as II is. We are, however, on
the lookout, and If the occasion arises We will
not hesitate to prolong the hours"
There Is talk of another Democratic caucus

large sums have already been paid tue gov

effect that the manufacture of fraudulent ar

November. 1892. and continued after Septem-
ber. 1888 in consequence of which the Secre-
tary has detailed board OF officers from the
