Men and women tremble at the mere
thought of the thief and assassin who steals
In al midnight to rob and slay. Without a

held in Pittsburg last month. The
moving spirit was Bishop Vincent.
He long ago transformed the Sunday
schools, and later iuaugurated the
Chautauquan movement. Now IL is
claimed that he has by the unity Of
feeling manifest at this church con-
gress committed many leading men
to the progress of religious thought.
TO the doctrines OF evolution and of
Bible based on what is termed the
higher criticism. The congress is re-
garded as serving notice To the church
that evOlutiOnists and higher critics
are to be tolerated within its fold and
unmolested in holding and dissemin-
ating its opinions This is the phase
put upon the proceedings OF the con-
gress by one Of the faculty OF the
Baldwin university. He says:
"In view Of what not Only went un-
challenged, elected earnest and gen.
eral approval, unless the conservative
element of the church begins at O.ce
To call these men 10 account and to
punish them for holding aud dl>Sem
mating doctrines of evolution, and Of
tine brble, based on the results OF
higher criticism, IL is safe to conclude
that no man in the Methodist Episco-
pal church can ever be brought To ac-
count for believing and teaching eyo-
luton and higher criticism"
This means new movement within
the church, by means of which free
dom seems to have been won in day
and with no disturbance. The con-
gress was attended by the faculties
of Boston AID Northwestern univer-
sites, ministers and college presidents
aud professors from different sections.
Ii was unOfiicial. Besides the larger
question referred to, there was dis
cussion of the estheLic problems of
modern church buildings, music and
ritual and the practical problems pre-
sented by evangelizing work in the
cities. The rank and tile Of the imin-
listers Of the church are held TO be
unrespOnsiye to the teachings Of mod
ern learning, and this congress of
selected spirits took long step in ad-
vance of them.

EDITORIAL

A number of state papers have
copied our item about Senator Nc
Bride, that he "does work for Ore
yon." The La Grande Daily OBJ
server says:
Don't delude us with generalities,
but specify just what work Senator
Mcbride has done for Oregon. The
people in this part Of the state are
hungry for information on that line.
What, II anything be has done Tor
Oregon, must be profound state
secret, known only 10 few benef1-
ciarieS, and tue peOp not being BEN
eticiarlcrs, know nothing about
It. A Sphinx-like silence made
him senator, but il will require some
noise to re-elect him" Wen he IS
only serving his first year, DO give
him little time.
1t has been suggested that charity
begins at home and that Senator Nc
Bride would better be exerting his en-
e.gies TO get reasonable appropriations
for the harbOrs and rivers OF Oregon
than for the Alaskan miners who are
not really suffering aud who, If suffer
ing at all kIew what they must ex-
pect when they entered the Klondike
county. There is certainty that
the reports OF suffering and danger OF
starvation in the KlOndike are greatly
padded and exaggerated by sensa-
tional writer's for the newspapers.
Foreign missionary business is
greatly overdone in America and this
business Of getting the government
into it Is too much.

Prof David s Jordan, president OF
Stanford university, who was the lead
ing expert for the United States gov
ernment in the seal negotiations at
Washington last autumn, has given
his verdict strongly against any such
proposition as that presented in the
bill introduced by Representative
Johnson OF North Dakota, looking TO
the immediate killing of all of the
seals on the seal islands as the readi-
est manner in which 10 prevent fur
ther friction between the United
States aud Canada. The report of Mr.
Jordan, showing in preliminary way
the results of his Investigations 10 Be-
hiring sea during the past season. will
soon be published, aud mean time the
following extract shows his opinion;
"The fur seal is the nOblest OF all
OF the ANIMALS Of the sea. Though
they are sadly reduced in numbers, a
nucleus OF the fur seal herd is still
left Under favorable conditions IL
can be restored, The PribylOff herd
has yielded 100000 skins annually,
worth 81, ,000,00 ar more. aud without
injury To itself This would represent
a cash yaluv OF S5,000,0C0. If properly
protected, 1t will again reach this
value. TO slaughter the herd ourselves
because It's preservation is beset with
diplomatic difficulties in which the
fault has not all been on one side,
would be confession of impotence un.
worthy OF n civilized nation. 1t would
transfer TO the United States alone
and for all time the odium for the de-
struction OF the FUR seal herds"
After all that has been published Of
the cruelties practised in capturing
the seal, it is hard TO understand how
a Christian man or woman can wear
sealskin.

The Republican party pledged itself
to SECURE The independence of Cuba,

dent has lent all has energies to
securing autonomy instead, and a
spanish grant of autonomy is as diff
ferent frou Cuban independence as

dent is their property they propose to

be mistaken but when such loyal Re
