Magde1yurg deserves it's reputation of being slow-going, prosperous old town, with little of interest except a few remarkable and antiquated churches, supplemented by a few old gates and buildings in no repair to speak of, and few memorials to job lot of emperors, kings and dukes. 1t is, in addition. one of the cleanest cities in Germany, and as far as it's municipal nffairs are concerned possibly ahead Of any other community of its size. It has no floating population to boast of except those who float around on the queer-looking boats on the Elbe; but its citizens are polite to newcomers and evince no desire to do" the stranger within their gates.
 There are no beggars on the streets; there are only one or two street stands; and, of course, such minor nuisances as billboard advertising, ash barrels and tobacco splitting are unknown any where in Germany. In fact, there is scarcely anything to offend the senses. Everything is clean and orderly, and there are plenty of places of amusement. but not enough to enable it to vie with Berlin (which is only few hours dis tant) and thus attract the American tourist and his dollar-the almighty dollar which all foreigners are so fond of sneering at. And yet they sit up nights trying to evolve schemes for ex- lractfng is from the pockets of the transatlantic visitor

 This is the first place that I have been where incandescent electric lights were not looked upon as woeful ex- ravagance- something in the precious line, to>be doled out in the most minute doses. In London had room as big as young barn. It was furnished with great disregard for cost or com fort. The room was about eleven feet high, and near each end was a measly electric bulb not much larger than peanut. When l wanted to read any thing smaller than the hotel rules, which were long primer, I'd have to ring for step ladder or light the tall low candle on the mantel-pieee. That was an English sample. In Hamburg there were also two little incandescents in the room, spacious, profusely dec- orated and sumptuously furnished apartment, in a hotel conceded to be the best in town, and overlooking the water park (called the Binnenalster), i, in the heart of the city. But even there only one incandescent could be used at time. By afi Arrangement, ingenious if parsimonious. the affair wls so fixed

toward Baptist doctrines, that is its affair. In fact, it even transpires that Prof. Bemfs, who was forced out of the university for his alleged radical views upon the labor question, has re- ceived many letters of sympathy from Baptist ministers who resent any inn plication that theT church is the pro- tector of Mir. Rockefeller's protege.

and the colored about 13,000. The word church, however, includes organi. cations, and therefore it is not meant that separate church building exists in every case. The value of the church property of the Baptists of the nortI now equals more than $50, 900, ,000. The south, with far more Baptists, has but S19,oOo,00o of church property, and the colored church a trifie more than S9,. 000,00 The other Baptist bodies own some $53,ooo, 900 in church property.
 The church at present is flourishing exceedingly. No great conflict is rag ing in the matter of doctrine. The unity of the church is not threatened by any sehism. There is general har. mony throughout the church that augurs well for the future. Yet the temptation to make comparisons Is strong. There is a marked departure from the administrative traditions of such body as the Presbyterian general assembly. There is no pretense at such legislation as would be within the promise of the Episcopalian general convention. Still more distinct is the spirit from that which permeates the general conference of the Methodists.
 The Baptists, indeed, are not indi. vidually among the rich of our repub- lie. As rule they support their churches through considerable self sacrifices. At the same time their membership includes one of the richest families in the world.

a proposition from the Chinese govern ment to establish a sort of protectorate over the establishment of various churches. Connected with this propo- sition, however, is a series of conditions that is far from pleasing to the more in dependent of the clergy, who fear tle celestial bureaucracy may undertake to dictate to the missions. The matter is one of great delicacy, and may result in the formation of special commission to investigate and report.
 One of the most interesting features of the congress will be the German ele- ment. It may not be generally known that the Baptist church has what one might call 0 special German depart ment. The German Baptists have even a special university in the land. It iE intended to extend the influence of the church among this element, and very considerable element in the congress will appear solely in it's behalf. As for the theological seminaries, they are in a fiourishing condition and the field afforded to their alumni may be judged from the following figures which show the latest results of the church census: Regular Baptfsts. north. ..,,.,...... s10, 300 Regular Baptists, south. h............. ]. .359, 1Se Regular Baptists, colored. ........4.1 .350. no Baptists Of other bodies, about..... 275,o00

 These are trifies to be sure; but when there are a thousand of such triaes even cast iron saint, if he happened to be an American, would lxiek-aye, though he were surrounded by the grandeur of the shadow of the magnifi- cent past--I found that in a guide book to-day. In Magdeburg it Is diff l ferent. The hotel where I am stopping has the finest rooms, the most lavish supply of electric light, the most stImptuous furnishings, the finest cuis- inc, and the best arrangement of any l have yet come across on this side of the water; and I have invariably l tried to stop at the best in town. Tho prices here are not much over half of those in Hamburg; but there isn't enough of interest to attract tourists and the hotel is seldom more than half full. There is nothing low down or mean in this town. I'm celly sorry | it isn't as big as London. A city as nice as this as big as London would be simply out of sight.
 l As I think I intimated once before, the officials in England and Germany, however stupid and adhesive on them selves they may be, are never at heart l quite so savage as their facial expres- sions, supplemented by warlike uni- forms and dragging swords, would in- dicate. I have with fear and trepida- tion approached an official with mien as terror-inspiring as that of a middle | weight champion, and found him the possessor of a lamblike disposition, with mild craving for strong drink and tips. It is so here in Magdeburg, where there is whole army corps quartered, and quite naturally strong military spirit prevails. It Is place where most of the male population try to look as if they had murder in their hearts; yet they are infantile, almost, 1 in disposition, and as honest as the day is long. Especially do the police officers try to assume an expression of ha- tired for all humanity that would make a Bowery barkeeper hide his dimin- ished head. But they don't mean any. thing by it.

The Object of Free Trade.

'Rah for free trade and "the markets of the worldr' Dun's Review states that the exports of wheat from Ameri- can Atlantic ports during July, 1895, have "been only 3,405, ,O64 bushels, four included, against 0,665, ,G33 bushels last year!" Dun's Review represents enc of Blunder Boies' great commercial agencies" therefore its statement that the exports of American breadstuffs for July, 1895, were only little more than one-third of like exports during July, 1894, under the Mckinley tariff, may be accepted as conclusive proof that ''the markets of the world' want free trade with the United States in order that they may sell their pauper- made goods in the United States in competition with the goods made by the laborers of the United States. That is the whole and eHct object of free trade. What do the American la- boring and business men think of their own situation under the Wilson-Gor- man tariff?

Cy Officeholders under the present administration are in favor of third term for President Cleveland. And of course they would not object to U fourth, fifth, tenth or twentieth term, for that would probably assure their retention in office, and establish an of1iceholding class which would be very influential under the alleged re- public that Grover Cleveland would govern in his consecrated way. Many people ridicule the suggestion that Mir. Cleveland contemplates the possibility of securing another nomination, but at the same time it is observed that per sons close to the president arc careful not to disavow he entertains this idea.

WARRIORS IN A WRAHG LIE
Wallace and Walker Refused
to Deliver OratiOnS at
ChiCkamauga.
Incensed Because Lesser Lights
MonopoIized the Speech
Making.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. pa special from
Indianapolis, Ind, says:
The Indiana contingent at Chickamauga
has stirred up sensation, and several OF
the G. A. R. big guns will not be so friendly
on their return as they once were. The
upshot of the 'wrangle was the action OF
Commander-in- Chief /. n. Walker and
General Lew Wallace who became dis
gusted with what is termed the way the
Indiana Chickamauga commissioners
"hogged the programme" Both men sud-
denly left the battlefield without deliver
ing the speeches they had been asked to
prepare.
James R. Carnahan, who has been famil-
iarly called General" since he was Ad-
jutant-General on Governor Porter's staff,
is secretary of the Chickamauga Commits
sion, and he took up over an hour and a
half in reading a speech. Carnahan left
the volunteer service in 1863 as captain,
while Lew Wallace quit the service as
or-General, and Commander Walker
was full-fedged Colonel when he laid
down his arms. That Carnahan should be
given precedence over these two we'll
known Indianans was regarded by both
Wallace and Walker as a piece of thought
less if not intentional discourtesy.
Three members of the commission occu-
pied two hours and half on the platform,
and when the persons who had been in
vited by the commissioners to speak were
reached it was late in the afternoon, and
the audi ence had nearly all disappeared.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
Gathering in Numbers for the
State Convention at
Syracuse.
Slate Making Delayed Pending the
Arrival of Hill, Murphy and
Croker.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Demo-
Gratis are coming this way in numbers that
bid fair to swamp the town. 1t is already
evident that Syracuse has not sufficient
hotel capacity for the people who want to
come here. Every room at the Yates
house was taken over a week ago and long
rows of folding beds in the halls are ready
to be placed in sample rooms and other
rooms not generally used for sleeping
quarters. The Vanderbilt, Empire and
Globe hotels have booked more people
than they can take care of, and the board
lighthouses are already being canvassed for
rooms. Rooms are being saved at the
Yates for Senator Hill, Senator Murphy,
Richard Croker, Ex-Governor Flower,
Perry Belmont, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan. ex-Mayors Gilroy and Grant and
General Sickels. ~
Although it is an off year the Democrats
are not content to hold a quiet little con-
vcntion like that of the Repu blicans at
Saratoga. They intend to whoop things
up as though the Governorship were at
stake. From all over the State large dele
cations are expected to boom the numer-
Gus candidates for State offices. Unlike
the Saratoga convention here there are
candidates galore for each office. If the
ScramDle LOT nominations were a sign 10
go by this could safely be set down as a
Democratic year.
So far as known here there is no slate in
existence but David B. Hill. Edward
Murphy and Richard Croker have not
arrived yet. When they get here tips may
be passed around as to who are the men.
A score of candidates who are now being
doomed for places on the ticket will
probably be dropped. At present it is any
mans race for place.
Here is a list of candidates as they now
stand: For Secretary Of State, Horatio C.
King of Kings, or Charles A. Carey Of
Clean. For Attorney-General, Daniel G..
Griffin of Watertown. For State Treasurer,
John B. Judson of Gloversville. For State
Controller, Theodore w. Myers OF New
York. Frank Campbell of Bath. R. L. Dow
of Schoharie, Jacob Gerling of Monroe,
August F. Scheu of Erie. For State En-
gineer and Surveyor, George Clinton Ward
of Oneida, Russell B. Stuart of Onondaga.
For Judge of the Court of Appeals, Judge
Alton B. Parker of Kingston, Judge John
D, Teller of Auburn, Judge David L. Fol-
lett of Chenango.

INSPECTION OF MEA rs.
Rigorous Measures to Prevent the SubS
tuition of Horse ELeSh.

Rigorous Measures to Prevent the Substi-
tuition of Horse Flesh.
OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 22.-The order OF
Secretary Morton requiring all meats for
export to be inspected, effective October 16,
will be strictly complied with by local
packers, who will see to it that all pack
ages for export bear the Government
stamp. The order is generally looked
upon as a result of the reports sent over
the country few months ago to the effect
that horse meat was being extensively ex-
ported.
The representative of local packing
house says that all the talk about slaugh-
tering horses for food is utter foolishness.
In the East horses that are good enough
for meat are worth more money for other
purposes and no one could afford to
slaughter them. In the West the best es-
timaJes place the number of range horses
available for Strengthening purposes at
only 1000.
A few of these are being slaughtered at
Portland, but the business is so small as to
be unworthy of the attention that has been
given to it. Even if they did work up a
trade for horse meat, the supply of horses
is so limited that it would never amount
to anything.
The packers say, however, it would be
impossible to get certificates of inspection
for the great bulk of beef packed in the
East.
