The Dark Side Of Christian America.

We have now in America popula-
ton OF seventy millions of people, and
yet three-quarters of million. we are
told, belongs TO the criminal class"
writes Dwight l.. Moody in his initial
paper in ''Mr. Moody's Bible Class in
the November Ladies' Home Journal.
And this in Christian America. 1t is
said that in six months thirty gradu-
ates of two large European uni
versities were found by one rescue
mission in New YORK City. Nor are
the American colleges without repre-
sentatiyes in the great city slums.
Our daily papers are but a living
chronicle of the fearful hold which sin
has upon us as nation A man must
have lost all his senses who says that
sin is not Inherent, that it is only
physical weakness which culture may
ultimately overcome. Veneering the
outer man will make him no better
within"

A $339,639 Cargo.

The steamer Victoria sailed for
China and Japan from Tacoma yester-
day morning with a cargo of American
raw and manufactured products valu-
ed at $3.50 ,639 and $50 passengers, the
largest number ever taken from Puget
Sound for foreign destination. The
Ledger says: "The steerage passen-
gers, who are nearly all Chinese, num-
Der about ESQ. They have been arriv-
ing in the city for the past few days
from all parts Of the United States,
principally from San Francisco. The
Chinese caravansary in the old wharf
depot was crowded last night from top
to bottom with almond-eyed guests.
Outside and on the railroad track hard
by were several immigrant passenger
coaches serving as temporary stopping
places for the overflow of celestial
travellers. In the coaches and the
main hostelry the men crowded to-
gether or stretched themselves on
their own blankets and enjoyed them
selves. Many engaged in the fascinat-
ing gambling games peculiar to their
race, others smoked long water pipes
and slender bamboo pipes. All chat
tered like parrots in the noisy, smoky
quarters and apparently had no COM
plants to make"

The TOrrens System.

To those who had hoped much from
a general adoption of the Torren system
of transfers and registry of real estate,
the decision of the supreme court of
Illinois, declaring it unco institutional,
will come as disappointment. 1t has
proved efficacious wherever tried in
simplifying conyeyances of land and
lessening the expense attached and
while the brief dispatch regarding the
adverse action of the courts does not
point out the defects which render it
unconstitutional. beyond the fact of
conferring judicial powers in the regis
ter in settling titles, it is hoped that
they may not be SO serious as to prove
irremedial-Ex.
