FINE HORSE DEAD.
A Consecrated Ministry-Dr. EToge's
Popularity.
RICHMOND. VA. March II. 1885.
o the Editor of the Dispatch:

RICHMOND, VA, March II, 1885.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The only hope OF the world is conse-
Grated ministry. We are greatly deceived
when we rely on the goodness of man
kind 1t IS only faithful preaching that
has made the world a little better. Paul
SAYS: Il will live and die with you" Il
have warned you with many tears" and
again: Il have written you in many
tears" Here is love without mistake. Or.
Hoge can say, I have loved you for fifty
years. and he can prove it. Years ago
WHEN his salary was 5000 he refused
$500 Most of the large cities Of the
country have offered him similar induce
ments to leave his flock, but his reply
was l will live and die with my people.
All the money in New York and Chicago
cannot buy him. This gives the lie TO
the worldly maxim: Every man has his
price" The world knows all about the
evil power Of money. Paul. himself. was
afraid Of this public sentiment, and when
the collection for the poor saints at Jeru-
salem was to be sent h would not take
IL. but put II into the hands OF certain
brethren Of the Church. What an EVIL
dence OF the meanness Of mankind! The
ministry must initiate Paul. Money never
had greater power than now. 1t blghts
all the good fruits OF preaching in many
places, / fear. - \ e cannot serve hOl ana
mammon," whether in the pew or pulpit.
The "enectual CALI must not be the
money CALL as the public have sometimes
reason to fear. No man can voluntarily
change his flock, except In the honest
fear OF God or in obedience TO superior
authority. Guard against the love Of
money. ye ministers Of Heavenl The
Apostle calls It filthy lucre." He forbids
a member of the Church 10 keep COM
pany. no not TO eat" with an "eXtortloner
or a coyetous member" This leads me 10
question whether the Church is not errng
In keeping within its pale hank-robbers
and other thieves. who would now be rob-
bling had they not been caught. The re-
pentance is not genuine. They repent
because they have been exposed. OF one
thing be certain-when you find one OF
these men going into public places, con-
clude he is not penitent. 1t is a serious
question II the Church IL not damaged in
its standing with sensible men by thus
condoning the offences OF these prominent
hypocrites. The body OF Christ is holy,
and the Church, His bride. must be pure.

Tho RaIttC Canal,

Whilst we Of the United States are
projecting a Nicaragua canal and coaling
stations in the Pacific ocean, and the
ACQUISITION Of Hawaii. the German Gov
ernu ent Is concerning itself about the
North Sea and Baltic canal, upon which
the work was inaugurated by the En-
peror William eight years ago. 1t is
stated, as commercial consideration,
that since 1853 some 1900 vessels have
persisted In the narrow channels and
amcng the islands off the Danish and
Swedish shores. and as military con-
sideration that IL was an incaiculable
disadvantage TO Germany that her ports
on the Baltic are separated from those
on the Atlantic The Baltimore sun
says that the military movement pre-
ponderated when in 1886 the decision was
made to canalize the peninsula, Any
how the work is now done. and the open
ing Of the new canal IS to be celebrated
on the Goth of June next by an interna-
tlonai naval demonstration, designed to
call the attention Of the world 10 this
magnificent enterprise. If enterprise that
may be called which is already an ac-
complshed fact. We quote the Sun:
1.-THE canal extends sixty-two miles
from Briusbuttel, at the mouth OF the
Elbe. opposite Cuxhaven, 10 Holtenau, on
the Baltic, three and Il half miles north
OF Kiel There is a lock at each end
800 feet long, with 80 feet OF depth on
the sill. The width of the canal prism at
the bottom is S. feet. and its depth Is 80
feet. The surface width is al feet, with
bank at the sides having depth OF
10 feet, or enough for ordinary trading
vessels Of the Baltic. Ships are ex-
pected 20 traverse the whole length OF
the canal In thirteen hours, including the
time spent at the locks. In connection
with the canal there are at the eXtremities
suitable harbors and breakwaters TO serve
the convenience Of commerce. The tolls
will be- IL is stated, Is cents per ton OF
loading capacity, and II is believed that
100000 tons OF shipping will use the
canal. Railways are carried over II by
bridges, one of which IS 1877 feet above
water level The excavation was 5000 900
cubic yards. The cost was <7.oo00O0."
Think OF a bridge 1871 feet above water
level. Think Of the work as whole.
and ther ask yourselves II the Nicara-
gua-canal scheme is so huge In its pro-
portions that Uncle Sam ought TO hest
tate before beginning work upon II. What
small undertaking the proposed cable
from this country TO Hawaii is when
compared with this North-Sea and Baltic
canal. Nay. the acquisition OF Hawaii
by the United States would seem 10 be
a matter that Germany at least need not
disturb herself about.

BY answering the following question
you will greatly oblige a number OF your
subscribers:
Under the present law. in voting the
county ticket. where there are 10 be five
or six different Offices to be filled. If n
voter should scratch his ticket properly
with one exception, is the whole ticket
thrown out, or is only that part that IS
improperly scratched discarded?
For instance, the ticket has on II the
names of all the candidates for the vari-
Gus county Offices, and 1t is scratched
properly, except there are two names
left unscratched for one Office. Now, IS
the whole ticket discarded, or are just
those two names not counted at all?
l.. j.
II voter at the spring elections should
prepare his ballot properly except as TO
one office. the ballot would be a good bal
lot for all except that ofice which had
been improperly scratched. For instance.
II in voting a ballot were correctly pre-
pared for all except the candidate for
Commemorative Attorney, and in that
case the names Of all the candidates for
Commemorative Attorney were left un-
scratched, then the ticket would be void
only as to this office, and all the rest
must be counted.
