cHuRcH AND STATE.

The comments and structures Of Rev
T e Terry on tho Prohibition party are
notable. We grant they are severe, but
they have the severity Of earnestness
and simplicity. %hey have the severity
Of truth. They cannot be impesched or
denied.
The great difficulty with a political
party which proposes moral pRnacea
for the world. is, that protesting to be
able to work miracles, it really &C.
complishes nothing, The true preceptor
Of morality is the church. not the state
religion not politics the laws OF God not
the fallacies OF men.
1t was said long ago, and by the
Master, that those things which concern
Cesar should be left for Cesar TO do.
Il Is the business Of the state, which in
our form Of government is the
people. TO attend to the speci
lied and well-dsfned duties which
promote the general welfare Of all; il Is
the business Of the church TO prevail
upon men, by equally well defined meth
DDS, TO be good oitlzsns, to be pure in
their lives, to devote their minds and
incline their hearts to the imitation OF
Christ for the salvation Of their sinful
souls. Any Intelligent man compre

TWn ERRlNa PARIlEs.

Apropos to the discussion Of the
place Of the Prohibition party
In politics, we may say that
the failure Of the Republican party, also,
Is due TO It's attempt to regulate private
industries by public legislation.
The reason why the Prohibition party
has failed and always will fail, is that a
purely personal, moral question cannot
properly come into public discussion for
public legislation. A mans morals must
be managed In some other manner. It is
his own private affair. The public can
only have anything to do with II
when he breaks general public laws
which we're not Intended TO regulate the
conduct Of private citizens. The failure
Of the Republican party is that IL at
tempts to regulate a mans private bust
ness, to say what enterprises he should
pursue, aud what enterprises he should
not pursue, TO say what goods he should
buy, and where he should buy them, and
In doing this to promote the general
welfare OF the whole by enriehing few.
Granting for arguments sake. that
the theory of the protectionists OF the
Republican party, that by tbs adjust
ment OF the percentages Of the protective
tariff certain enterprises may be more
prosperous than they other wise would be,
that admission will not justify the ex-
tent to which they have pushed the prac.
tlee to promote prosperity.
Such legislation, in the nature Of the
case, must abridge the private rights Of
many men for whom the state should have
as much affection as It has for those whom
II enriches In attempting TO promo q
the private enterprises Of few, the
private enterprises of the many are
necessarily abridged. II they are not
abridged they are hindered or burdened
so that even II the theory were correct
the practice of protection would ba
wrong.
II II were possible for the state tC
take possession Of all the distilleries and
destroy all the liquor in the country II
would not be lawful nor right. That
has been decided by the Suprem
Court in the appeals from Iowa, wher
the state undertook to prevent tn,
brewsries from operating and seized and
destroyed this property Of the brewers
The state was held responsible for the
loss.
The Republican party proposes tc
transgress equity in the same manner
Il makes public question Of privat,
enterprises; It proposes to do certain
things on the plea Of the public benefit
which interfere with too many private
rights It does what no political party
can attempt to do aud live, elevates q
fad into a policy.

what It calls itself-R protectionisi

IT is supposed that santo, or as bis

plan Is not too drastic; II IT is not sue

most casual observer that there ere some
classes which are not amenable to the
laws which were made for the ordinary

the Highbinders and the negro rapists
compose some Of these classes. They

THE silver question seems destined to
embarrass both parties. This is true
because 1t cannot be separated from the
profit question. The great strength Of
the silver promotive schemes comes from
the opinion, more or less current, that
there is an insufficient supply of gold.
In the FIRST place, there Is no evideno
that there is any real scarcity, and in
The second place, II II wete true, there
is no reason for believing that the effects
Of that scarcity would be relieved by
the silver panacea. The sllverltes are
always led by some one Immediately
connected with silver, or. as in the case
Of Bland, who Is among the most dis
interested Of the lot, by an old silver
miner. These men, having proved to
their own satisfaction that gold is scarce,
Immediately declare that silver must be
used instead, and we have the silver Till
there Is a separation OF these silver specu
lators, protectlonists and mine. owners

merits the statesmen will refuse 10 have

moyements. Heretofore the silver legis.
latiou has been dictated by men who
have silver bullion to sell Now while
we must use some material as money, we
do not propose to be governed in
the choice OF that material by the
profits OF those who sell It. II anybody

Of gold, silver, copper, nickel or paper

country more prosperous, forsooth, by
