RELIGIOUS BELIEF OF THE Sta TIE
GOVERNORS.

Some one has taken the trouble to as
certain the religious affiliations and prefer
ences of the governors Of the several states
of the Union. The canvass shows that SO
of the governors are avowed believers in
religion, and that % are professed Chris
tians. Most of them are regular attendants
at church, and nearly all are contributors
to the expense of religious work. Respon-
ses were received from 43 of the state COVER
nors and three of the territorial executives.
One state governor, Mr.. Culberson of
Texas, declined to define his sentiments,
and another, Governor Evans of South
Carolina, neglected to respond in any way.
In the light of recent events, however, it
may safely be set down that part of Gov
ernor Culberson's religion is to prevent
prize fighting.
Most of the governors responded freely
and frankly, and it is learned that 10 are
Presbyterians, five Congregationalists, five
Episcopalians, four Methodists, three I'm
itarians, one Christian, and Is unconnected
with church organizations. Of the 16 gov
ernors unattached to denominational Or
CARNATIONS, II attend religious services re-
gularly or internationally, and all except
one, free thinker, believe in the Christian
religion, and it's plan of salvation. Ten of
them have edenominational preference. Sec
tionalism cuts no figure in the religious
preferences of the governors, save that
most of the Congregationalists are New
Englanders and majority of the Presby-
terian southerners.

HOW TO INCREASE THE REVENUE.

Now that Cleveland has returned to the
national capital, it is presumed that he
will busy himself upon his message to the
Republican congress that is about to as
semble.
To state what the dominant thought in
Mr.. .Cleveland's next message will be is mere
speculation, but there are matters that
cannot be ignored and which he viii be
compelled to discuss. The failure of the
present tariff law to provide revenue for
the expenses Of the government is a9aues-
tion that cannot go unheeded. Great in
terest is exhibited in official circles with
regard to Mr.. Cleveland's prObab BILE recon-
mendations on this point. If he follows
the recommendations that will come to
him from the treasury department there is
no doubt that he will point out to con-
gress that the best way to secure needed
revenue is to enlarge the scope of the in
ternal revenue system. AS free trader it
is not to be supposed that he will suggest
any increase in tariff duties, even upon
articles of luxury that could be taxed with
out in the least affecting the great mass of
American consumers. Secretary Carlisle
and Commissioner Miller of the Internal
Revenue bureau, have had frequent con-
situations on this matter of revenue, and
it can be stated on very good authority
that the secretary in his annual report will
suggest an increase of 81 a barrel in the
tax upon beer, and also taxes on proprie
tary medicines, cosmetics and possibly
firearms. He may also suggest return to
stamped commercial paper, such as deeds,
mortgages, notes, etc.

s4s, 615 for 1892, 100000 for 1890, and
S42, sos, 706 for 1889. In 1880 the total was
S1S,356,055 So last year, although one OF
comparative depression in building, more
than doubled the record of fifteen years
ago. Pennsylvania leads all the states
with an output of $5,245, ,507. Ohio comes
next with $3,51O, 81, and Vermont stands
third with S3, ,461 1882. New England fur
nishes about half the granite. Ohio half
the sandstone, and Vermont half the
marble. 1t is estimated that more than 80
per cent of the stone output goes into
building construction, and the record for
1894 indicates that even in dull times this
great country annually puts many mil
lions into new buildings. The materials
from the quarries form only small pro-
portion of the total cost of any structure.
yet more than $33, 100000 were paid for
building stone last year. The quarries
have risen to a prominent place among
American industries, and their annual
output is likely to increase for many years
to come.

FOUR MILLIONS GAINED ONE
BILLION LOST.

The reduction of wages which began in
1892 and continued through 1898 and 1894
amounted, on the average, to 20 per cent,
as has been proved by thorough investiga-
tion. The actual losses to labor by those
reductions during the two years and a half
were at least billion dollars, an average
of 5000 for each of the 100000 workers, or
about $50 per year. The average advance
of 10 per cent received by 100000 workers
means restoration of about half the loss
or $40 a year. For the half year since last
April the restoration has amounted to $40.
For the 100000 who have received the in
crease of 10 per cent the restoration
amounts to S4,000,000. In brief but "a ,000,
600, of the $1,000, ,OOO,OOO lost during the
Democratic panic has been restored to Ia
Dor. But 200,000 persons have been bene-
flied by that restoration. Four million
eight hundred thousand workers are still
waiting for the restoration of loss of
1896, 6,OOO, 900. That is the length and the
breadth of the benefit which the working
people of the United States have received
from the Wilson-G German law, and it does
not seem to be much to brag about.

The republic of Nicaragua, which
at the present time is enjoying peace,
is planning to have new railway of
an important character. Nicaragua
is not we'll supplied with railroads; in
fact, the only line in the republic at
present extends from the port of Cor
into, which came into prominence
through it's temporary occupation by
the British forces last spring, to the
capital, Managua, thence to Grenada,
in the interior. The proposed new
railway will cross the country, con-
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. The building of the road is
certain to develop the rich coffee
fields Of the interior, and thus greatly
enlarge the profits connected with
that industry. 1t is estimated that at
the present price of coffee planta-
tion costing $25, 900 would pay for it
self in five years, and much of the
available capital of Nicaragua is now
being devoted to this branch of agri-
culture. The Nicaraguan govern
ment will furnish the funds for the
completion of the road and the work
of construction will be placed: in the
hands of an American engineer of in
ternational prominence. These steps
taken, the railroad will be an assured
fact.

If Spain conquers Cuba, a perma-
nent military despotism will be set up
there, and the fate of that unhappy
island will be something to shudder
at. What Spain will do in Cuba may
be judged by what Spain has done in
Mexico, in the Spanish American re
publics and in the fair West Indies
from the date of their earliest dis
covery. Spain as a conqueror has
ever been robber and lOOdthirsty
butcher from the time she slaughter
ed and expelled Moors and JewsIdown
to to day, when her exactions have
been so terrible as to force Cuba to
revolt. This is the reward Cuba gets
for not rebelling when the other
Spanish American colonies did. Had
been rich and happy state of the
American Union or of Mexico, or an
independent republic to herself. What
Spain will do to Cuba in case she con-
Quers her this time ought to be
serious consideration to the United
States government in debating the
matter of whether we shall recognize
Cuba as a belligerent power on her
own account. The Spanish procla-
nation already issued OF ''death or
deportation to rebels7' is monstrous.

Reformed Armenia, assured by the ac-
ceptance of the British terms, was not the
greatest blow struck for Christian civiliza-
! tion in the Orient since the emancipation
of Greece. Yet it is the cIeanest.
For once a European great power can say
| that without fear or favor, reward or the
hope of reward, it has delivered a people
from bondage beside which Pharaoh's s
was kind; that it has lifted the cross from
beneath the crescent; that it has set about
the reclamation of a garden spot from a
waste Armenia can never, save perhaps
with a little favor in the matter of Black
Sea trade, repay England for her redemp-
tion from the rule of the Turk. She can
never put man or horse in the field for
her. She can never counter single Rus
sian plot. She can never without raising
a clamOr from the war dogs across SebastO-
pol, cede her an acre of ground. Cousin
Bull has at last something to back the
character, which he has SO long set up, of
a philanthropist. No one will be more
surprised than Cousin Bull himself at his
arrival upon this sort of pedestal. There
has been already many a Tory shiver over
the deprivation of the comfortably fitting
garment of hypocrisy which Palmerston
fashioned for Oriental wear-something
like the pith helmet and puggare-so many
years since. Yet until some proof of new
conceit is furnished we are not disposed to
accord credence to the theory that Lord
Salisbury has been actuated by desire for
rather than a passive agreement in the dis
memberment of the Turkish Empire.
The land which by the provision in the
terms for a Christian commissioner of re-
organization and the equal representation
of the Christians in the governorships and
police force is assured an individual and
racial, if not a National existence, has
some five-sixths of the population of this
State-to wit, about 100000. In the ter
ritory of the vilayets of Sivas, Trebizond,
Van and Erzeroum are 7S,0 900 square miles
of land A principality has thus been an
nexed to modern civilizatiOn; reclaimed
from the night of Mohammedan rule.
This has been done in spite of the drag
of Indifferent allies, the baking of
powerful party and the sacrifice of an his
toric policy in the keeping of treaty obi-
cations, which probably were never meant
to be kept. 1t has been possible through
the possession of the three things which
go in these days to make up government
a conscience, courage and fleet.
We have no Armenians to emancipate,
but the lesson is one to ponder.-Times.

LOOKING FORWARD.

Among the questions now occupy
| ing the attention of the people of this
country it is probable that the deep
est interest is felt in the question as
to when we may expect restoration
of our normal condition of business
prosperity. The eagerness with which
every announcement of business re-
sumption, of advance in wages, OF in
crease IN wages, of increase in earn
ings, OF financial Improvement of any
kind, is received and appreciated is
an evidence Of this interest. Evidence
of different kind is furnished by the
corresponding eagerness with which
the calamity howlers," the false
prophets of disaster, seek to deny or
to disparage or to explain away every
indication that the end of the depres-
sion of the last two and half years is
at hand.
1t is quite possible that the false
prophets of disaster may still have
the melancholy pleasure Of gloating
over additional illustrations of the
evils which their extravagant legisla-
ton had brought upon the country.
But it is not possible that their
gloomy triumph can be of long con-
tinuance. Least of all is it possible
that this country should have to ex-
pect a permanent condition of depreS-
sion. This is not possible under any
circumstances
We are apt to watch the situation
reports and Treasury statements and
bank statements are studied day by
day, and we are cheered or discour-
aged according to their report. A
single gold shipment sends stocks
down; d favorable monthly show
ing of the Treasury restores con-
fidence. If we would only raise our
eyes from the daily contemplation of
small causes-if we would look around
and ahead, and take in all the existing
conditions and prospects-we should
be in better position to form judg-
ment, and there would be no differ
ence Of opinion about that judgment.
There is no difficulty about forecast
ing the future of the United States. 1t
needs no prophetic insight to predict
the business conditions that will pre-
vail in the closing years of this CEN
tury. There is no risk in predicting
try will be one of great prosperity.

With the college football season
CON-" the attention of the public, and
especially that part OF it which is in
terested in university and college ed
ucation, is attracted not only to the
football contests, but also the general
question of college athletics. There
are some who hold that far too much
attention is paid to athletics, but the
fact remains that the gymnasium has
come to be regarded as one of the es-
sential college buildings, and physical
culture as necessary in order to secure
the highest and best results in mental
culture. No intelligent man today
would attempt to keep young men in
college or out of it, from indulgence
in a reasonable amount of athletic
sport This is the position which has
been recently taken by President Gill
man of Johns Hopkins University, and
it is one which meets the endorsement
of the heads of colleges in all sections
of the country. 1t is the abuse of such
sport, which he, in common with
other presidents, condemns. When
college athletics or any other sort of
athletics are made the chief factor of
young mans life, when his studies
or his business is made subject to his
sport, then is the use become abuse.
The golden mean should be sought,
and there ought not to be much diff
fou1tv in findino If
