BIdoTRY RAMPANT.

At the general assembly Of Presbyter-
ians held at Saratoga this week, an at
tempt was made to have report adopt
ed which called far declaration that
this is a protestant, Christian country
but the attempt failed. The authors OF
the report must belong to that mongrel
crowd known as the A. p. AS, as no one
but an Ape could entertain such an idea,
It seems strange that some bigoted In
dividuals who shout themselves hoarse
that the constitution must be main
tanned never seem to have read that
document; or, If they read 1t, their skulls
are too thick to comprehend it. The
Intelligent trainers of that instrument
took great care that no particular re-
ligion should receive recognition in it
that every individual was to be left free
to worship God as he pleased. They
had observed the miseries that arose
from religious contentious, and they did
not desire to see repetition of them In
this new land of freedom. And yet,
now, after nearly century and quar-
ter has passed since that immortal docu-
ment has existed, handful OF bigots
and lovers of religious strife ask that
the constitution be ignored.
By what right does any one claim
this to be Protestant country? 1t is
as much the land of the Jew as the gen
tile; it is as much Catholic country as
a. Protestant one. All stand upon equal
footing before the law, or at least
that is the theory of the government.
The Catholics are not in majority in
this country, but neither are the Protes-
tants, and Presbyterian argues as
strongly against the doctrines OF a
Methodist as he does against that OF any
other religious sect, except the Catho--
lie, and when he contemplates the doc
trines of Catholicism he is unduly ex-
ercised because he does not take the
trouble to study them or is too stupid
to understand them if he does study
them. He sees the Catholic church
unit in all quarters of the
globe, and 1t amazes him that
no discussions exist similar to the dis
sensions that he finds as to the doctrines
of Knox and Calvin.
1t is nauseating to hear men with mi
croscopic souls fretting about freedom
of conscience and liberty of thought
who are never at ease unless opposing
the opinions of some one else and OPP
posing them in such a way as to show
their own oontemptuous littleness and
utter lack of reason or liberality.

LET THEFT SPEND 1T.

A good many people are finding fault
at the extravaganza of the imperialists
in Russia in spending between $4,000
900 and $50 1000, 900 over the coronation
of the car last week, but the objection
is an idle one. The more money spent
by royalty or any one else in great album
dance, the. better it is for the particular
community in which the money is used.
In the so-called waste and extravaganza
in Russia every one who furnished ma
terial TOR the display or who contrib
uted by labor Of any kind or assisted in
any other manner received portion of
the money spent and were thus better
enabled to meet his own obligations
and give others an opportunity to meet
theirs. As the people were taxed for the
enormous outlay, they were, by the ex-
pend;ture, enabled, in a measure, to get it
back, which they would not have been
enabled to do had the money been
boarded.
"A cry OF pity Is always raised because
some one with ample means shows dis
position to expend his substance, not APP
parently stopping to think how much
others are benefited by the lavish use
of the wealth. The unnecessary expen-
diture may be bad for the individual,
who thus lives in a riotous manner, but
while he may suffer, q large number Of
the people will be benefited. It is q
case Of the greatest good to the greatest
number. 1t has often been remarked
that n the rich old drones in commun-
ity would leave this world the people
would be greatly benefited BY their taxi

tered.

remembered that Bryan and his crowd

they follow policy to debase the
money of the country, but they would
also continue the policy of the past
three years and further debase our in
dustrial interests. What the wage
Garner CT this country is most inter-

ceives shall be paid in money worth
at all times 100 cents on the dollar

value will be undisturbed by the work
