DOM PAUL FOR PEACE.

president of the South African Beers,
The carefully prepared address of the
at the opening of his parliament gives
the lie to the English stories that he
wants 10 fight Great Britain. Cham
berlain, If anything but a charlatan
would have felt cheap upon reading il.
after having asked for million dollars
to equip a force TO whip this isolated
people, to murder them off and destroy
them only because johnny Bull had
found that the land Of the Beers is rich
In gold. Kruger even advises the cele-
bration Of Queen Nictoria's sixtieth
anniversary as a reigning sovereign.
After all that has happened, that was
plotted by Rhodes and carried out by
Jameson the spirit of such a recommen-
dation is above criticism. President
Paul declares for peace and asks tina,
the UnitlandeTs be treated with con-
sideration. AS no one has yet accused
Dom Paul of being dodser or cow
ard. the British government ought 10
take a day of for doing penance.

WHERE ARE THEY AT?

So far as the immediate future Of the
Democratic party is concerned 1t will
make little difference whether the Re-
publican party blunders or not. The
Democratic party is an uncertain quail
fly and Of problemahc tenets. The
question is where and who and what
is the Democratic party. Does Cleve-
land represent 1t, or Bryan? That these
men are as far apart as the poles no
one denies, while both claim to be the
representative head. Cleveland and his
crowd and their doctrines seem most
In evidence, SO that those self-constitut-
ed newspaper organs of the Democratic
party who are trying to convince them
selves and readers that no man can be
q good Democrat who does not en-
dorse the Chicago platform of 1896
have hard time of it. OF course Dem
ocratic platforms are very uncertain,
are always changing. Within thirty
years they have been on all sides of all
questions, but not in any single cam
paign- Now they are on two sides OF
two or three questions at the same time.
That party has shifted on reconstruc-
ton, on greenbacks, on resumption OF
specie payments, on the tariff, and so
forth, to finally split on the dollar of
the daddies," once that party's greatest
boast The Chicago platform of 90
Insists that the dollar Of the daddies''
is good money and that no man can
be in harmony with Democratic princi-
pies who fails of -favoring Is to l. 1t
looks as if shifting Democracy had
made about its last shift when it shift
ed over to Populism. The plutocratic
wing Of the party will never go popu-
sism, not even for Office and spoils
That the big end of that organization
will endorse silver in 1897 is not so
certain, but that it will hold to the So
cialistic innovations of the Bryan side
is more than probable. This means
solid east against it.

TOO MUCH sECTARIAN1sM.

Conceding sectarianisn to be defen-
sible, that upon the whole, with every
class of mind considered, it is the best,
yet when it arrays itself against any
movement which promises TO make men
better 1t does a wrong 1t is reported
that a number Of UNCONVENTIONAL min
listers of New York City are opposed
to Moody's plan OF holding summer re-
yival services near that city. One
preacher suggests that Moody had bet
ter try his talents on the Sums. Oth-
ers have criticized his work in Boston.
There seems TO be an objection TO III
val attractions" 1t is difficult for an
outsider to understand what possible
objection a minister of the gospel could
have TO revival services such as Moody
conducts. Every convert he Wis
means a man redeemed, means a new
member for some church. That he
does win men, or persuade them TO
better lives, by the score, is undenied.
Even if once turned from the error OF
their old ways and they should fail OF
Joining any church organization, the
fact Of their conversion ought to prove
one of rejoicing for every preacher OF
Christ's word, for every minister who
believes that Christ gave His life for
mankind. OF course every preacher
can not be a Moody. There is not one
In a thousand like him, nor in ten thou
sand. There was but one John the
Baptist, but one Melancthon, one IVES
ley. His powers as an exhorter are
marvellous, and he pleads only for men
to turn from error and remain good, in
no instance trying to influence them in
their choice OF Christian fellowship.
That he has recruited thousands for the
ranks Of all the evangelical denomina-
lions is not questioned. We have there
fore little use for the minister who crit |
icizes the work Of Moody, whether that |
minister fills a $4,000 metropolitan |
pulpit or but an humble desk.

HENRY DRUMMOND

| Ian McClaren in the current Norti
| American Review writes an affection
| ate ana euIogistic estimate of his friend
| Henry Drummond, though he promised
not to write an eulogy. Most people
simply exist-completing their tale OF
work." he says, mot a grain over; do
| ing their measured miIe-not an inch
beyond. Here and there you
come across a person in whom life is
exuberant and overfiowing, force
which cannot be tanned Or quenched.
Drummond was such an one, the most
vital man l ever saw, who never loiter-
ed never wearied, never was fconven-
tional. pedantic, formal, who simply
revealed in the fulness Of life" So
much for the man. As for his morals
DR.. Watson continues: "If he failed
anywhere in his thinking it was in his
treatment OF sin. This was the defect
Of his qualities, for of him, more than
any man known TO me it could be
affirmed he did not know sin. From
his youth up he had kept the command
plentS and was such as the Master
would have loved. One takes 1t for
granted that each man has his beset-
ting sin, and we could name that OF
our friend, but Drummond was an en-
ception to this rule. After life-time's
intimacy / do not remember my
friends failing. Without pride, with
out envy, without Selfishness, without
vanity, moved only by good will and
spiritual ambitions, responsive ever to
the touch of God and every noble i'm
pulse, faithful, fearless, magnanimous,
Henry Drummond was the most per-
feet Christian l have known OF expect
TO see this side the grave. His
idea Of salvation was rising to the
stature of Christ and sharing his sim
pie. lowly, peaceful. life" And yet,
people calling themselves religious Gift
ed up their testimonies and wrote arti-
cles against this gracious disciple of the
Master because they did not agree with
him about certain things he said, or
some theory he did not teachr'
However, 1t may be surprise to
the many who have read National
Law in the Spiritual World" to learn
that sit was at one time Drummond's
opinion that he had made a discovery
in that fascinating. debatable land, be-
tween nature and religion, and that he
was able TO prove that the laws which
govern the growth of plant are the
same in essence as those which regulate |
the culture of SOUL" and that later |
his views so modified that he realized |
that the claw and facts set out to |
prove it were but Suggestive illustra- |
tons" To which is added this signifi- |
cant remark, Had Drummond believ-
ed this was its farthest escape he would |
never have published the book, and 1t |
was an open secret that in later years
he lost all interest in Natural Law"
and that he probably abandoned its
main contention"

Earthquakes.

More than twelve years have elapsed
since England was last disturbed by an
earthquake. In 1884 she experienced
quite n violent tremUr but no disas-
trous results accompanied the shoes.
Ia the present instance, however, the
loss of property in various parts Of
the kingdom will reach as high rs
l,000.O0
The experience of England and
japan with earthquakes in recent
years explodes the old idea that islands
are exempt from visitations of this
kind. In japan several years ago
more than 500 natives persisted in one
of these disastrous shocks
While earthquakes have frequently
been felt in this country, the most
tragic disaster of the kind took place
about ten years ago in what is known
as the Charleston earthquake. In adj
dition to the loss of twenty-seven
lives property was destroyed to the
amount of several million dollars.
While the earthquake conferred at
Charleston, $. c., it's force extended
for distance of 900 miles away.
Quite a serious earthquake occurred
in California IN 1872, and still an
other in Mississippi in 1871, but
neither of these disastrous shocks
compared in violence with the lannon's
Charleston earthquake in 1886. At
lanta Constitution.

People Without a God.

4 people has recently been diseov-
cred IN the Congo basin, Africa, that,
80 far as eau be learned, has no re-
lirion, aud no conception ola Supreme
Being. There Is also very little Judi
cation of superstition among them.
They are the BanZiri-. and the ter
ritory occupied by them is mostly on
the northern shores of the Oubanghi.
1t is not believed that they number
more than five thousand souls AgTi-
culture and fishing is their occupation
but they live in villages when not on
the water, their habitations being
round huts, made OF plated straw and
covered with matched roofs Canoes
made from trees, serve for their water
craft, and in these they live much of
the time during the dry season, when
the sandbars IN the river are exposed.
They are much given TO gay life,
and delight in singing and racing. At
times they become exceedingly bois-
ferrous. Their countenances are pleas
ant and intelligent, with merry ex-
pressions, and they are well-disposed
and hospital toward strangers.
The only feature in adjournment IN
which these people devote any atten-
ton is the henddress This is built
mp with both the true and false HAIR
until it becomes au elaborate affair,
the work being done by the women,
who show much good taste and dex-
terity in the performance. The war
riors add feather to their headdress,
usually from parrot. When IN
mourning these headdresses are laid
aside and the hair worn in the ordl-
nary way.
Fish afford their staple food; but
the men are fond of dog meat, which,
however, is denied to the women.
Other food is bananas, and little
corn and millet.
These people differ in language, APP
pearance and customs from the neigh
boring tribes, except one that they
resemble in some respects. Altogether,
they may be considered as the fines
and most philosophical savages of the
present day.
