THE METHoDIsTs AND BREWERS.

The debate in the Methodist conference
yesterday over the election of a brewer
to a trusteeshlp in the Maine Wesleyan
Seminary, the Methodist educational in
sttution of this state, was decidedly in
teresting. The brewer in question has
never, SO far as the public knows. been
specially interested in the cause of edu-
cation, but he is man Of large wealth,
and it suspiciously appeared in the
course of the debate that that was the
real secret of his selection. Apparently
the honor was conferred upon him in the
hope that he would be fattared into loos-
ing his purse strings and pouring lib
eral amount of shekels into the Golfers
of the seminary. A mos t Astounding fea-
ture Of the debate was the frank deola-
ration of one of the clerical brethren
that the true policy for Methodist semi
naries to pursue was to take money from
any source, "take it where we can get it
and consecrate it to God" Suppose thar
the money came from the purse of this
brother, purloined by pick pocket, we
wonder if he would look with SO much
favor on the conservation process. Or
suppose that the brother had deposit in
bank and the cashier should appropri-
ate it and then turn it over, in a
moment of repentance, to the seminary.
would he be in favor of the seminary's
taking money from whatever source it
could get it then? If it is lawful and
praiseworthy for all institution of learn
ing under the patronage Of q church to
take money from any source then We
don't see why 1t might not consistently
incite men to steal for It's benefit trust
ing to the end to justify and consecrate
the means. The truth in this case is
that the brother who favored taking
money wherever you could get it was
way off in his ethics, and no doubt when
he calmly considers his doctrine and it's
logical results will repudiate it himself.
Stealing can't be justified by conseorat.
ing the proceeds to God, and the man OF
institution that ACCEPTS money that he
knows has been obtained oorruptly makes
himself or itself a participator in the
rhine. Whether money obtained from
he brewing business is SO tainted that 6
seminary ought not TO accept 1T is G
question about which respectable mer
will differ. But in this particular CASE il
can be said that denomination which
has set its face SO firmly against th,
liquor traffic in all it's forms as hav,
the Methodists, could not elect
man whose fortune had been acquired il
the brewing business as trustee of one o
its seminaries for the purpose of getting

Our esteemed contemporary, the Bos-
ton Herald, styles the confession of H.
H. Holmes, which was the piece de re-
sistance of it's last Sunday edition, an
Interesting study in psychology" We
take this to be in the nature of an apollo
gy for flooding the homes of the respect
able people of Boston with detailed &C.
count of twenty-seven Of the most dia-
bolicai murders on record. 1t is al
together to it's credit that it has deemed
it necessary to offer some sort of an
excuse, for it shows that it's incursion
into the field of the extremist kind of
sensational journalism, which hitherto
has been monnopolized largely by two
New York journals, is not really to it's
taste. We are afraid, however, that it's
apology will not prove sufficient. Psy-
chology may be useful study, but to
undertake to popularize 1t by setting
forth In daily newspaper the horrible
details of twenty seven diabolical MUIR
ders, with philosophical notes, SO to speak,
upon them by their author, is an enter.
prise that will not win the favor of in
telligent people, and ought not TO.
Sometimes details of crime are, as it were.
thrust upon the newspaper, and it is al
most impossible to avoid the publication
of them. But this was not case of that
kind. Holmes had in large measure
passed cut of the public mind. He had
been convicted of murder, and was in the
penitentiary awaiting execution. His
crimes had already been exploited adj
nauseam. Every consideration Of deoen-
cy dictated that he and his crimes should
be allowed to pass into oblivion. The
study of this mans mental pro-
cesses is no more useful than
tions OF a man eating tiger. He was an
abnormal product, and the study of his
mind could throw no light on anything
which any rational human being wants
to know about or needs to know about.
But it is by no means certain that the
story of these crimes as presented gives
us even glimpse of the mental make
up of the monster who committed them.
About two weeks ago the New York
World published what it called confess
sion of Holmes. That was promptly pro-
nounced to be what is known as a. fake, "
that is, pure invention. This last
confession was an enterprise of the New
York Morning Journal, which is run
ming amuck with the World, and trying
to beat it in the field of sensationalism,
and while it may be what it purports to
be thera is plenty of room for su spicion
that it is as much "fake'' as the
Worlds alleged confession, and emanates
from the lurid imagination of Journal
reporters. But whether it be genuine
or spurious, it's publication has a direct
and positive tendency to lower the bust
ness of journalism in the estimation of
all thoughtful people. 1t cannot be
palliated even on the ground that there
was public demand for it, for the great
majority of the public long ago ceased to
think of Holmes or his deeds. 1t was
simply thrust upon the public.

Information concerning the President
attitude in the Cuban matter is quite as
contradictory as accounts of Cuban bat
ties. On the one hand 1t is said that Mr..
Cleveland will ignore the action of Con-
gress entirely and on the other that he
will issue proclamation which will
practically recognize Cuban belligerenoy,
and between these two extremes there are
many notifications. The only thing
certain Is that he has done nothing yet. 4

Fasting and Prayer.

The Christian people of our State, during
its long and brilliant history, have cherished
and been accustomed to observe this day,
by absta lining from all unnecessary labor,
and invoking, amid the surroundings of the
home and in places of public worship, the
blessings of Heaven upon our Country, our
State and her institutions; and by inculcat-
ing the principles of righteousness, of truth,
OF amity and peace.
This revered and time honored custom, es-
tablished by the early fathers, is still worthy
OF preservation and continuance; and may
the day have appropriate recognition and be
observed in a BETTING manner by all the
people of our commonwealth.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Companys
efforts, is attested by the sale Of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling u laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant TO the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
IN their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination Of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benetcially.
II in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, thel
laxative or other remedies are no
needed. II afflicted with any actua
disease one may be commended Il
the most skillful physicians, but j
in need of laxative, then on
should have the best and with tn
well-informed everywhere, Syrup q
Figs stands highest and is mos
largely used and gives most genera
satisfaction.

IT think that perhaps tho most cheerful
nan ! over knew" said Colonel Calliper,
twas my friend Stephen GilSlim of Stork-
vile Confer, vt. He always took cheer
full view Of things, and he had sense of
humor that ofttimes enabled him to ex-
tract fun from situations in which others
found only gloom. Indeed his sense Of
humor was rather keener than one would
desire, for sometimes 1t sprung things on
him most unexpectedly. 1t went Skin
mishing ON its own account and reached
humorous conclusions with great sudden
ness before Stephen had caught up. When
his mind came along, his sense of humor
would jump out with some idea so funny
that Stephen would have to laugh in spite
of himself.
"Of course this was defect in Stephen
composition, and he knew 1t. You might
have thought that as he grew older in
creasing years and cares would tame him
somewhat and blunt his sense of humor
but they didn't, His years increased, TO be
sure--he couldn't help that-but his cares
did not, for he wouldn't let EN-. His sense
Of humor was as Astounding ms ever. 1t
would greet him sometimes with smile
which seemed to say: What We grow
oldg Welll And then they'd both laugh
as they walked along together.
Stephens sense of humor cost him
some friends and made him some trouble.
1t made him laugh sometimes at most In
opportuno moments. He was himself as
much disturbed by this as anybody, but
not for long, for he was SO buoyant that
nothing could keep him down. He pass
