Is it not rather a curious thing that
when Mr.. Gladstone was asked what he
thought of the English and Venezuela
complications that he answered: Dare
not interfere; only common sense re-
quired. Can not say more with advan-
tage"?
There could have been but one reason
why he dared not interfere, and that is
indicated by the following sentence:
"Only common sense required That
means, according to our construction,
that it would be discourteous for Mr.
Gladstone to say that Lord Salisbury
had made an ass of himself, as the Briton
is wont to say, and that common sense,
substituted for Salisbury, is "only re-
quired" to prevent any serious misunder-
standing between the two countries. Evil

AMUSEMENTS AND CHURCHES.
While practically all branches of the
Christian church have long since aban-
doned the position that gloomy habit
mcnts and austerc and mourntul demeah-
or are the most proper and betting marks
of the true believer, there is decided
difference of opinion on points relating
to the kinds of amusement IN Whlch Il
protesting Christian may properly en-
gage. Thus some denominations nave
rigid rules forbidding their members
from INDUCING in card-playing, dancing
and thcater-gOing on pain OF expulsion
from the church. But church AUTHORITIES
generally realize the difficulty and danger
of LAYING down arbitrary rules to govern
in ali matters of this kind. The question
of the amusement proper for believer
to engage in must be left, it is thought,
largely to the determination of the lndl-
vidual conscience. The question assumes
Il new and fresh interest from the methods
adopted by what are called the "insttu-
tiOnal churches" of the present day to at
tract young people and the nOn-churcl-go-
ing classes. These methods include the
opening of free libraries, gymnasiumsS,
and assembly rooms in connection with
provision Tor games concerts ana various
forms of entertainment. 1t is the pur-
pose of these agencies to draw young men
and others away from questionable re-
sorts and under influences which may III
timatcly lead them into the church itself.
But there are some who declare strongly
against the Constitutional church because
of these very features. The church, they
say, has higher work than amusing young
people. There is an interesting passage
in the Northwestern Christian Advocate
replying to this objection. 1t says:
IF amusing young people aids to save
them. the work is fully and gloriOusly
worthy the church which Jesus Christ
founded for the benefit of lost sheep.
The church that does not proifer it's at
fractions to the active minds of young
people today in order to get grip on
these young peoples souls tomorrow

of rather high rank in the early church

POLITICAL PRAYERS IN CON
GRESS.

Severe criticisms have been passed on
Chaplain Couden for making his prayer
at the opening of congress vehicle for
the expression of partizan views and
political opinions. The words objected
to were: LET peace reign throughout
our borders; yet may we be quick to re-
sent anything like an insult to this our
nation" This is denounced as unchrls-
tian and jingostic by Il number of news
papers. The st. Louis Post dispatch
says: "The Scriptures abound in inJunc-
tons to be slow to anger and patient
under oppression and ill-usage. There
is no where an intimation that it is
resent an insult. Chaplain COuden evil
IDENTIFY belongs to that queer class of re-
ligious paradoXes, the fighting, parsons,
who are misplaced as teachers of Chris
tianity and who should be pagans with
a god of war and a god of peace to APP
peal to as convenience or political adVan-
tage may suggest. There is reason to
believe that he is trying to give some
color of Christian grace to Jlngolsm.
The Boston Herald says of the prayer:
st is in worse than bad taste, when the
circumstances under which it was de-
livered are borne in mind; it is repugnant
to Christian sentiment; it was an lnclte-
ment to the war spirit which is disgrace
full in Christian minister. Politics,
rather than piety, got this man the place,
and he, apparently, felt it duty to re-
pay this by putting politics into his
prayer" The Baltimore News makes the
following comment: "To insert, in

more volumes from the publishing house
of Robert Brothers, Boston.

is acting the part of master of ccremo-

duction to these two volumes. which are
devoted to "Sir Andrew Wyie" of that
ilk.
Mr.. Crockett says of "Sir Andrew
that ''all the early part of the book is in
the authors finest vein. The descrip-
ton of the cottage and fittings belong
ing to Martha Dockcn, the hcro's grand
mother. the incidents of the hero

II Is evident that the s.lverites are not
going to have their own way at Chicago
without a struggle. Indeed. no one can
say with any degree Of certainty what
IS going 10 happen there. On Wednesday
our dispatches contained a strong appeal
from the President TO the sound money
democrats not TO give up the battle for
sound and stable currency while there
was a single chance for winning. With
this. appeal he coupled an announcement
that makes it clear that he has no am
bitiOn for a denomination.
Yesterday our dispatches stated that
ex-Secretary Whitney of New York, who
was 20 have sailed for Europe on Wednes-
day. had postponed his trip. and would

could to prevent the Chicago convention
from committing the democratic party to
silver recommendation. Senator German,
also. who did not expect TO go to the ma
tonal democratic convention this year
announces that ne will be a delegate.
II looks as if there was going to be
gathering Of the strongest and ablest
leaders OF the democracy at Chicago. not
withstanding the understanding which
prevailed a few weeks ago that the con-
vention would be IN the hands of new
men practically. And why this sudden
determination of Old and well tried lead
ers 10 go to Chicago? Does it not mean
that 4 great effort is to be made TO pre-
vent the democratic party from becoming
a free silver coinage party? Unless we
are greatly mistaken that is exactly what
it rlcans.
There will be an interesting convention
at ChicagO-much more interesting than
was the one at St Louis. and what is done
there may be more surprising and sensa-
uonal than anything done at any pre-
vious national political convention for

Il appears. from later advices. that the
Cuban insurgents succeeded in damaging
the aqueduct which supplies Havana
with water, when they exploded a bomb
the other day upon the bridge over which
the aqueduct runs. The dispatches. sew
eral days ago. said the gas supply pipes,
which cross the same bridge. had been
somewhat damaged. but that the water
supply was not diminished. While that
may have been true, the aqueduct was

which the city would have to depend up
on in the event OF the cutting off OF the

gents have made several attempts upon
