st. Paul Pioneer Press: Among va
rious proposeds methods of restriction
the educational test Is that which has
best sustained the ordeal of discussion
which has been going on for several
years past. The chief opposition comes
from steamship and transportation
companies. American citizenship IS
worth something, and the proposed test
will shut out few, IL any, worthy of 1t.
The mali who does not value it enough
to be willing to learn to read and write
before taking ship for our shores is not
worthy Of foothold here. 1t is Of in
finftely more Importance that our re-
manning unocupied territory should be
filed up well than that it should be
filled up rapidly.

The statement going the rounds of
the press to the effect that Mr.. Moody
said that the Prince of Wales had re-
pudiated Masonry because Masons do
not believe in the Bible, turns out to
be different matter when it is learn
ed just what Mr.. Moody did say. Of
course every Mason in the country saw
the absurdity of the statement at once,
but coming from as eminent source as
Mr.. Moody, no doubt many people be-
lieved it. This is what the distinguish
ed divine says about it: 'In meeting
in Boston some time ago said the Roy
al Lodge of Masonry in England, of
which the Prince of Wales is a mem
Der, had withdrawn from what Is
known as French Masonry, because the
French Masonry's ritual has eliminat-
ed the name of God" Mr.. Moody not
being a member Of the order got things
a little mixed in the foregoing state
ment. What he meant to say or should
have said is that the Grand Lodge of
England declines to hold Masonic rela-
lions with the grand body Of France
because Of it's refusal to recognize
deity. A belief in God is the chief cor
ner-stone Of the Masonic edifice, and
the Grand Lodge of England could not
do otherwise.

That the best attachments are not the
result of chance was exemplified In the
discovery of the planet Neptune, the
fiftieth anniversary of which event was
recently celebrated in France. Tele-
scopes had long swept the sky without
discovering this shy outer planet; but
when astronomers noticed how Uranus
FASTENED in one part of his orbit and
moved with less rapidity in another,
they knew there must be an aIttlucting
body that held him in check. Lever
rier, therefore, after minute calcula-
lions, wrote to the astronomer of the
Berlin Observatory, requesting him to
point his telescope to a particular spot
In the sky on an evening indicated, and
said: You will see planet which I
have not seen, and which no human
eye has ever seen, but which neverthe-
less must be on the spot" No one
would venture to call it's discovery that
night an act of chance.

The novelist who signs herself
"Ouida" has written a letter in which
she takes our legislators to task for en-
couraging the immigration of foreign
ers who can read and write and keep
ing out illiterates. She practically rel
iterates the old saw that little learn4
ing Is dangerous thing" and would
much prefer immigrants who knew
nothing Of the alphabet to those who
had imbibed the limited and mis-
chievous' education Of the public
school system. Ouida Is a novelist
whose faculty lay in giving the last
clarifying touches to the decaying in
situations Of mediaeyalism. Her ideal
of life is a country in which turreted
chateaus or moated schlosses, with a
monastic institution here and there, are
the only centers Of enlightenment
These happy spots should be surround
ed with well-kept estates, inhabited by
a contented but ignorant peasantry, to
whom the lords, ladies and friars min
lister from time to time, as their high
social or religious duties may allow
Ouida's novels. 1t is pretty enough in a
book, but the day has gone by when it
Is possible in real life, except in few
out of the way parts of the world that
have not felt the touch of modern adj
vancement. It's contented, ignorant
peasantry, Ouida's special delight, are
rapidly giving place to the restless, in
dependent, ambitious and more en-
lightened men and women of to-day.
Ouida will be sorry to hear that we
have no "peasantry" in the United
States. We have farmers-American
farmers and voters. If there are any
who answer to her notion Of peasants,
they have but recently arrived. They
will not continue to be peasants. They
will rapidly become American citizens

81. Louis Post-Dispatch:

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: The Meth
idist ministers and other ministers
were on the point of agreeing as to the
fallibility of the st. James translation
when Col. Ingersoll came to the front
and proposed to agree with them.
There are great many orthodox min
listers and laymen who canpot reconcile
it to their conscience to agree with
Col. Ingersoll about anything. But
these should remember that it is i'm
possible for anybody to agree with In
gersoll for the reason that he has never
made definite proposition. In all the
years of his lecturing about the Bible
he has never gone farther than to say
he knows nothing more than anybody
else-an admission totally uncalled for
It is possible, in such matters, for In
gersoll to agree with the preachers,
but absolutely impossible for the
preachers to agree with Ingersoll. But
if the preachers agree among them
selves, Ingersolps occupation will be
gone, and it may be to prevent their
agreement that Ingersoll offers to agree
with them.

Two CORChfnen.

The late Archbishop Of Canterbury
who keenly enjoyed a good story,
was-writes his private secretary in the
Sunday Magazine-particul fond OF
an anecdote which was told of his pred
ecessor's coachman.
One day clergyman who called at
the palace asked the coachman whether
he still had as much to do as ever. The
answer was sublime. There's always
a goodish bit doing, sir, but it has been
a trifle easier since we took young Mr..
Parry into the business"
Young Mr.. Parry" was doctor of
divinity who had just been appointed
bishop suffragan, or assistant, of
Dover.
Another tale that DR.. Benson delight
ed In was told him by a gentleman
who. finding that the stablemen were
not in the habit Of attending church,
spoke to his coachman about it. They
ought to CO." he said.
That's just what say myself, SIR
was the rejoinder. Il says to them,
Look at me, go and what harm does
1t do me?"

Memphis Commercial Appeal: Sew
preaching on Sundays from the pulpits
of various churches. 1t Is claimed that
the lay preacher can discuss many sub
jects in the pulpit which the profess
sional minister is expected to eschew.
AS general proposition it may be gen.
orally laid down that anything pro-
fessiopal preacher cannot discuss in
the pulpit ought to be proclaimed from
some other forum. The public hall. the
outdoor meeting. the lyceums or other
public buildings might better be util-
ized and leave the pulpit for subjects
less worldly.
