A woman replacing the kitchen oil

of it's good wear to her carpet dealer,
saying that though the fibre was worn,
the colors were still fresh and bright

SAINT. 1T is not the cloth 50 much as
the care it must have had," was the
nealer's reply. One cook only had pre-
sided in the kitchen during the five
years, and her unfailing use Of cold
water to wipe over the cloth had thus
effectively preserved it.

LITERARY HoICH PoTCH.

We have been reading in The New
York Bookman a serial story by h
& Merriman, author OF "The Sewers
His first story was regarded as a capi-
tai piece of work in his native Eng
land. His serial is called I'm Kedares
Tents and it is decidedly interesting
and breezy. He is a clever story TELL
.er, having that gift. There Is much
more body to his work than In some
other notable living writer's of the high
ly romantic school. His serial Is full Of
sncident and the characters are exceed
ssngIy well drawn. There are wit, capl-
asaI repartee, wise saws, and man
scenes of genuine dramatic vigor. We
think it a fresh, entertaining and very
well written story. 1t Is clean besides.
which is much in these unclean, decad-
>ent times.

enato Hanna made n speech In Ohio
Saturday. at the opening OF the repuhat-
can campaign. and II the newspaper
reports OF It are correct. 1t was a strange
tumble of words and ideas. He declared.
among other things. that "the republican
party Is responsible through that measure
(the Dingiey law) for bringing back this
prosperity
Then he said that he had about made up
his mind that 1.-THE Lord In a republican"
Creator has caused short crops Of wheat
in foreign countries.
There you have tho average republican
idea OF the cause Of better times and
theory freely interpreted il that the Lord
looked on the republican party and found
1t good: that He then inspired the Ding
ley law: and that. in order to make sure
in those countries which have heretofore
competed with the United States In the
worlds markets.
Mr.. Hanna is the first responsible
leader. SO far as we know. who has had
the gall to announce that republican leg

Judge or the lntelllRence OF republican
voters in Ohio. That state has given
to the public service some very queer
specimens. 1t has produced such mon
strosities as John Sherman and Hanna
men who have somehow managed to win
the support of the rag-tag and bob-tafl.
OF course, we do not imagine for one mo-
ment that the republican voters Of Ohio
are so recklessly imbecile as some OF
their acts would suggest; but We do be-
lieve that they need to be educated in the
principles Of political honesty.
We don't know where the school
teacher Is to come from at this time.
The republicans have had opportunities
in this direction. and have neglected
them. They have had the example Of such
men as William Allen and Allen Thur
man: but perhaps the honesty and virtue
Of these men are less attractive to the
average republican than the slick and flu-
ent bossism of Hanna, and the current
fraud and corruption that calls itself re-
publicanism.
We cannot imagine a more depressing
spectacle than that afforded by such
men as Hanna and Foster standing be-
fore a crowd Of gullibles and proclaiming
their own political honesty.-Atlanta Con-

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
6UNDAY.

The New York Evening Post made q
decided blunder when It described the
late Rev. DIR. Thomas Arnold Of the
Established Church Of England as q
"bigoted churchman. who could scarce
~ see a chance of salvation out OF the
Church Of England" Rev. DR.. Eph-
rain n. Harding. a native OF North Car
DINA, and a man OF remarkable read
ing as well OF good talents as a preach
err and writer, addresses a letter to the
Evening Post correcting the statement.
He writes from Farmville. Va. on Sth
September. He Is unquestionably cor
rect. He quotes from a letter written
by the Master Of Rugby, SO famous in
his day and dying when but forty-eight
quite suddenly. to Sir Thomas Paisley.
We reproduce only a part Of the quota
ton. but enough to show where the dis
tinguisher historian, teacher and divine
stood:
"He would feel and see that the matter
OF his souls salvation lay between God
and Christ, on h one hand, and him.
self on the other, and that his belong
ing to this or that church had no more
to do with the matter thar his being
born In France o. England, in West
moreland or In Warwickshire. The
popish and Oxford view of Christiani-
ty is that the church is the mediator
between God and the individual. This
Is priestcraft, because 1t lays h stress.
not on the relations Of a mans heart to-
wards God and Christ, as the Gospel
does, but on something wholly artii.
cial and formal-whereas, all who go
straight to Christ without thinking OF
the church do manifestly and visibly
receive grace and have the seal OF His
Spirit, and therefore are certainly heirs
Of salvation"
Right or wrong in this view, as the
case may be, DR.. Arnold vas no bigot,
but a man Of catholic christianity bas-
ing opinion and conviction upon the re-
vealed Word Of God. There is perhaps
much other evidence like the above to
be found in Stanley's Life of Arnold. an
extensive biography we read many
years ago with great pleasure. ssu
