A PxrsBYrERIAS manifesto has
made its appearance at Waiertovn,
N. Y; but it emanated from the
congregation and not from the
preacher this time. It is q declara-
ton that the Rev. William N.
Cleveland cannot preach for them,
because he Is q Democrat, and 9
brother of Grover. This is the re-
verse of affairs in Utah; here the
preachers run the machine and
make the people obey, while in New
York they muzzle the preacher.
We like the New York method the
best of the two, but we don't ap-
prove Of either. Religion and poll
tics are two colors that will not

THE OHIO HAT LAW.

New York Sun.
They are capable of doing anything
in Ohio, and they have done it. There
is a man named Fosdick in that retiring
State. His is the name which will
brUise its heels against all the corners
of all the ages in his unhappy quest for
glory. He is the man who, not TecOg-
nizing the limit set by nature to the
power of man. and therefore essential
to the modesty of man. has written and
had passed through the Ohio Legislat-
ure a preposterous bill preventing
women at the theatres from wearing
hats as monumental as they choose
Poor Fosdick! In all other respects
Solomon may be an idiot compared with
him. and all the sageness of the Seven
Wise Masters may be a baby book by
the side of the quintessential sapience
that seethes within his burning brain.
But FOsdick has made a mistake. 1t
is no business of his although the wo-
men of Ohio should choose to decorate
their lovely heads with bonnets that
outclass the Great Pyramids or hang
higher than the hanging gardens of
Babylon. If the women of Ohio choose
to wear hats of that kind. they viii
wear hats Of that kind; and the phil
osopher Will no more think of making
any practical opposition TO the decision
of these irrefrasablc judges than ne
would of turning the laws of gravity
into the laws of humor. or setting up
the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker as the
supreme sage of the universe of Ohio.
The women of Ohio or of any other
place have an inalienable right to wear
what sort of hats they please; and they
Will be allowed to. whether they have
that right or not. and though all the
Fosdicks in the world should sit up

The outlook for the phosphate business in South Carolina is gloomy, so the state phosphate inspector reports. Prices are lower than ever before; the working force has been reduced and the wages cut. One of the largest companies has suspended operations. The causes as- signed for the depression are a decreased demand, and the growing competition of phosphates from Algeria, from Venezue- la, from the French district of Somme and from Tennessee. The Tennessee phosphate Is the most formidable com petitor of the South Carolina product, filling it's place perfectly, and being placed on the market at less price, as it does not need washing or drying. It is significant, in this connection, that a South Carolina syndicate has recently paid $6OO,000 for 21 900 acres of phosphate land in Tennessee. In the hope of reviving the South Carolina industry, the inspect or recommends a reduction of the state royalty to 25 cents a ton. The revenue from this royalty goes into a sinking fund for the liquidation of the state bonds. Governor Evans, in his message to the legislature, opposed any reduction in the royalty.

At night one of the largest audiences ever gathered in the building assembled. The evening service was illustrated by large stereopticon views by Professor Moore of the High school Among others were pictures or Bethlehem, where the Savior was born; Nazareth, where he was reared; Geth- semane, where he prepared himself for death, and the city of Zion, where he died for the sins of the world. The last picture was that of a woman clinging to the cross. While this touching scene stood out clearly on the canvas in the darkened church the great audience sang in low tones, Nearer, My God, to Thee" :"
