MINISTER'S. VACATIONS.

In the midst of the absorbed interest in
the war an exchange turns aside to devote
an article to the vacations of clergymen.
1t does not seem to be an exciting topic,
but it is probably ore that is more or less
discussed in the limited circles in churches
which come to regard the pastor as per-
son under their guidance in inverse ratio
to the amount each individual contributes
to his support. To these circles belongs the
element which insists upon the holding Of
services which they never attend and in
holding the preacher to his audience room
to the end OF July and insisting tn 1t he
shall be in his place the hottest Sundays
in the year, those of September before the
equinox. George William Curtis alluded to
these excellent but sometimes exasperating
people in the church when he said that the
pastor is the slave of every woman of both
sexes in the parish" The Protestant pas
tor, as a rule. is the most dictated and crit
icised man in the world. To this time the
Catholic pastor has succeeded in ruling his
flock. though there are indications of a ten
dency to change in the relation. Because
he is the most dictated man, he should have
time to free himself from the habitual DOM
ination. While on duty nine months he is
debarred by tyrannical opinion from the
usual recreations and amusements. The lay
man and his wife may go to the theater,
but they draw the line on the pastor. The
card tables, with the innocent but exciting
progressive features. may be set forth. but
the pastor is denied seat, even If the game
should be the simplest. Indeed. there has
been opposition to his using the bicycle.
and many an excellent preacher has lost
caste for driving horse alta three-minute
gait as II he enjoyed 1t and wished that the
animal could make 1t In 2:2O. The preacher

Tho quibbling performance of General
Toral at Santiago makes it very clear that
our authorities have been and are now deal
ing with small tricksters rather than men.
Torars demand that the men whom he sur
renders shall bear arms when they go home.
and If not permitted to bear them to have
them boxed up and shipped after them, is
in keeping with the request of Spain that
we submit the question of the destruction
of the Maine to a joint commission. when
none knew better than Spanish officials that
some Of them sunk the ship. General Torai
is like other Spanish rulers of to-day They
are Don Quixotes without his chivalry in
that everything is distorted to their vision.
Doubtless General Toral imagines that his
demand will give the world the impression
that he is not vanquished leader yielding
up district containing 10000 troops and
turning them over as prisoners. To him
and those like him something of what they
call honor is saved If the arms of his sur
rendered army are sent after them to Spain.
He may even hope that the Spanish popu-
lace will believe the returning troops are
conquerors because they did not stack their
arms III OdItldSO Wnen Lney surrendered.
In the same line is the chatter of Blanco to
the effect that Spain must retain its hold in
Cuba whatever comes, as if the worst that
could be conceived had not come in the de-
struction of the Spanish navy. If Blanco
does not know that Spain is not in a posi-
ton to say a word about what shall be done
with Cuba, the Philippines and Porto Rico.
the world knows that he is in his dotage
and will deride him; If he imagines that he
is deceiving the nations by his rhodomon-
tade, he makes himself the object of the
worlds disgust.
AS the United States is sure to have much
to do with the procrastinating and quibbling
Spaniard during the next year, we may as
well be prepared for such performances as
that of General Toral.

band and his brother in the church. I'M
less he is singularly courageous, the preach
er will not force himself into the public
places where the general welfare is dis
cussed. In fact, the pastors recreations are
confined to afternoon teas and few we'd
dings, which he is expected to leave If there
is to be anything in the nature Of hilarity.
A man VINO is thus tied up by custom and
harassed nine months in the year by the
Mrs. Grundys of both sexes needs vaca-
ton. He needs to get away from a service
so exacting as that of the pastors is made
and enjoy little rational freedom and rec
ferent, or rather made to be different from
other men. He should be paid all that is
due him at the date Of the vacation so that
he need not go forth to preach to make up
a deficit of the church.
AS for the flock, it can keep UP the Thurs
day evening meetings and attend to the
Sunday-school excursions. There will be
enough churches open during the hot Sun
days for those who feel it duty to attend
once a week. For the rest the excellent
Sunday paper will go a large way in fur
nishing reading suited to the day. Nearly
all of the best Sunday papers publish SER
mons selected by clergymen. So let us have
no carping about the pastors vacation, if
only he may be his own man for a brief

If there were but two parties and single
annex, as in the United States, Emperor
William would not now have a majority in
the Reichstag to vote the money he wants
for navy There are nearly dozen fac
tons, and all are represented in the new
Reichstag. The Conservatives. Imperialists
and National Liberals are the three factions
that have supported the Emperor in the
past, but each of them has lost so many
members in the late election that they will
lack sixty-five of majority. The Catholic,
or Center party, has 103 members, which is
more than any other faction. These, with
the three factions first named. could give
the Emperor what he asks. but the Cath
olics will ask something in return in the
way of church recognition which the En-
peror has hitherto refused. Still, If the
Emperor is very much in earnest to carry
his colonial expansion policy. involving
large expenditures for navy, he may yield;
nevertheless, it is worth while to notice that
the imperial government has never been so
weak as 1t will be in the new chamber.
