TRUSTING THE PEOPLE.

THE idea Of popular loan, though
one that has been exemplified in
France ever since the war of 1876,
came slowly to the people of the
United States. Fortunately it did
dawn on our financiers at last that
the many mites of popular loan
would be greater than the mickles
of Wall street and then SecretaryCar
Isle proceeded, but not in very
practical or popular way, to set about
floating loan direct from the people.
As a result, Notwithstanding the
somewhat indefinite conditions i'm
posed, the loan has proved remark
able and very inspiring success. "The
wisest, most experienced financiers,"
remarks thePhiladelphiaLe did
not anticipate such demand for
United States bonds as was exhibited
by the bids opened at Washington.
Discarding two apparently bogus
bids, the new bond issue was sub
scribed more than five times over, and
at rates of premium higher than had
been expected. The offers prove I'M
mistakably that the country is finan-
cially strong and the credit of the
Government unimpaired."
Gold that has been boarded in Sc
cret for many years has beenbrought
forth by those who know that the
best of all securities is that afforded
by the United States government. 1t
is unfortunate that as rich and great
a country as the United States, in a
time of peace cannot maintain its fl
nancial standing without loan of
any kind; but if there must be loan
let the people advancethe money and
reap the benefit as they have just
done, rather than add to the gains of
Wall street. Perhaps some time it
may even begin to be understood by
both politicians and people that a
surplus is easier to handle than de-
felt.
This popular loan idea will be
fruitful in many ways. 1t will give
every investor, however small the
sum invested, a personal interest in

pect and hope for from God of infinite
power and goodness. Remember Ste
venson's expression, brethren, and claim
him as brother, for we like him "be-
lieve in the ultimate decency of things"
PECULIAR TRAIT IN HUMAN NATURE.
Does human nature find something
agreeable in religious abuse? 1t appears
80. We censure the novelist who de-
flames human nature, but the preacher
does it and we seem to like it. The
more bitter a religion is. the more it de-
nounces the wickedness and impurity of
human nature. the more men seem to
value and honor it. Orthodoxy tells
man he is miserable rascal, gives him
a black eye, lands blow upon his chin,
and rolls him contemptuously in the
dust. Universalism comes along as
sures him he is good fellow, picks him
up, brushes his clothes, shakes his
hand and calls him brother. Then the
man goes off and joins the orthodox
church. How can you account for it ex-
cept on the theory that religious abuse
is congenial and a sour religion is better
adapted to the average man than
sweet one? E. w. PREBLE.

AKRON LETTER.
COLLEGE CLASS IN UNIvERsALlsM.

COLLEGE CLASS IN UNIVERSALlSM.
The UNIvERsALIsT has already noted
that new feature, destined we believe
to become more and more popular, has
been introduced at Buchtel College. 1t
is the class in Universalism, and the
teacher is the Akron pastor. Rev. J. F.
Thompson.
Bro. Thompson is we'll qualified for
this work. being studious. logical, and
clear and able thinker. He is a con-
structive Universalist and thoroughly
believes in building up the church as
great institution which shall embody
and perpetuate our faith. He has
we'll furnished mind. a fertile magma
ton, and possesses the teachers instinct
and ability to marked degree. This
feature is just what the College needs
and we hope it has come to stay. The
class meets every Sunday evening, i'm.
mediately after the Young Peoples
meeting and already considerable inter
est is manifested in the new movement.
Some of the brightest young students Of
both sexes are in the class and it starts
out with brilliant prospects Of success.
We trust that all manner of blessings
will attend this little venture on the
seas of college life. God grant it fair
winds and prosperous voyage!

1--WE CAN'T FIGHT"

ONE of the comic papers a few
weeks ago, when the Venezuelan war
fever began to show signs of abating,
had a cartoon showing John Bull
and Uncle Sam glazing at each other
but so bound together by bands that
they could use neither legs nor arms.
Below them the words ''They can't
fight" Recent events confirm this
view of the case and the rapid subsid-
ence of the war fever is shown in
many ways. Dr.Gladden, in the last
of his course of lectures at Steinway
Hall, this city, speaking of the broth
erhood Of man in a brilliant and pa
thetic passage, as kind of climax to
one of his sentences, enumerated the
persons to whom a brotherly spirit
should be shown, such as Roman
Catholics, Jews, and then, pausing
second added, cor even an English
man." The immediate and general
laughter which followed from the au-
dience showed better than words the
real feeling of the audience about
their English cousins. This feeling
was shown also last week at one of
the theatres in this city, according to
the report in one of the papers.
Hamlet's joke on England in the
grave-digger scene always produces
a. smile, but in view of the Venezuelan
incident it is not strange that the au-
dience saw more humor in the follow
ing passage than even Shakespeare
himself, and greeted it by hearty
laugh:
HAMLET-"Ay, marry, why was he sent to
England?"
FIRST CLowN-"Why. because he was mad;
he shall recover his wits there, or, if he do not.
tits no great matter there"
HAM.--"Whv?"
FIRST CLOWN" Twill not be seen in him
there; there the men are as mad as he."
The Washington correspondent of
the London Times is right in saying
in his dispatch to that paper that
"Great Britain's acceptance of arbi-
tration would be followed by an ex
plosion of delight in America" The
two countries have too many bonds
of sympathy to go to war over Vene-
zuela, even though the country con-
tanned gold mines andwere as rich as
Eldorado. This is only one side of
the shield, however. If Great Britain
refuses arbitration and adheres to
the stupid policy of her present Tory
government there is no doubt that we
"would fight" in certain emergencies.
Let us hope that wiser counsels will
prevail and that the dreadful alterna-
tive will not be forced upon us.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE EDITOR.
DR.. Justin A. Smith, of the Standard,
Passes Away at an Advanced Age.

We record with deep regret the death
of our neighbor and friend of many
years, DR.. JUSTIN. A. SMITH, editor of the
Standard" the Baptist newspaper of
this city. DR.. Smith passed away on
the evening of February 4, at his home
in Morgan Park, after an illness of sew
eral months. aged 76 years.
DR.. Smith was the oldest editor in the
religious journalism of the West. He
has served his church in that capacity
since 1852. During these forty four
years he has occupied the editorial chair
of the Standard and died in the harness.
He was Christian gentleman in the
most absolute sense of that term, and
widely beloved not only in his own
church, but by members of all denomin-
ations. His paper reflected his own
gentle, amiable, Christian spirit and was
always high toned and conducted with
out the acrimony Of personal controver-
sy. No editor of religious journal ever
succeeded better in realizing the ideals

sweetness and light" as nearly as it is
given to any man to realize this delight
full combination, and his paper was al
ways true to the kindred points of his
own distinguishing virtues. Such man
is not only a loss to his own church whom
he passes away, but to all whom he has
blessed by his example.
DR.. Smith was always active in the
church work of his denomination and
was instrumental in the organization of
three of the Baptist churches of Chicago.
He was also influential in educational
matters and from their beginnings was
intimately associated with the Theolog-
logical Seminary and the University,
both old and new. He was also the
author Of several volumes which have
taken high rank.among the publications
of his church. His death makes void
which is marked, and his church Mourns-
the loss of faithful and devoted SER
want OF all it's concerns.

Major George F. Robinson, assistant
paymaster in the United States army,
and for the last two years or more serv-
ing in the Department of the Colorado

ment and is released from further active
duty. The Major is one of our Univer
salist friends and will now prob ably re-
turn to his California home and become
again helper of our UNCONVENTIONAL

1868 as private and served to the end
of the war in that capacity. "To Major

the government and the financial and
commercial policies of parties, and
will thus be an educator of great
value. Cities also, may learn from
the willingness of the people to ad-
vance money on the bonds of the
government that it may be well for
municipalities to do likewise instead
of dickering, as heretofore, in the
money markets and with shrewd
financiers.
One municipality, we notice, that
of Minneapolis,is already considering
the advisability of issuing bonds in
small denominations and offering
them to the citizens at fair premi
UNI. The day of the small investor
seems to be at hand in State and Ma
ton and municipalities, and it is
good omen. There is no more frugal
people than the French, and this has
been the policy in France for many
years. Let all government, state and
municipal bonds hereafter be given
to the people, and then few mon
eyed men on Wall street will no Ion
ger be able to dictate the policies of
the government of this great nation.
If the popular loan idea is prompt
ly supplemented by the postal savings
bank, the people of the United States
will have taken two enormous strides
toward financial independence and
public prosperity.

Charity and Fairs.
(Amarican Hehravv \

1t may be uncharitable to say that the
element Of charity plays but minor
role. Indeed, it is the absence of the
true spirit of charity that makes resort
to fair necessary to maintain benevo-
lent institutions. Let us be brave
enough to renounce this dangerous
friend, and remove this stain from our
philanthropy. We need not fear the loss.
The stricter moral spirit that condemns
"the fair" will be accompanied by grow
ing generosity that will even more amply
meet our communal needs.
