SECULAR SHOTS At THE PULPIT.

Minneapolis Journal Rev. John l.. Scud-
der Of Jersey City has now put four billiard
tables in his chapel. Think OF st. Paul
dropping in on st. Peter for a friendly game
after one of his long, tiresome missionary
tours. Why not?
Indianapolis News: The worldly professors
who make dancing lessons a business are
feeling hurt at Rev. John l.. Scudders
church dancing school. Nearly 200 young
people took advantage OF his bargain counter
class. Ten dancing lessons for dollar. and
under church auspices at that, is something
that the profession cannot compete with.
Louisville Courier journal: The bishop and
deputies of the Episcopal convention should
remember the constitutional provision that
congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment OF religion. The state consti-
tutions have generally a similar provision.
When 1t Is proposed to make the public
schools an ally of the church. the question
naturally arises, what church? And that
way madness lies.
Philadelphia Press: The former chaplain
of the Oregon, Mr.. Mcintyre, whose sem
tence OF dismissal was approved Tuesday by
the president, ought to go to some secluded
place and reflect as to how It protiteth a
man ITO drink too much rum and quinine"

TIE PRACTICAL VIEW.

Those who think that territorial ex-
pansion will necessarily bring trade ex-
pansion will derive no encouragement
from the opinion of one of the most In
telligent and successful business men in
the United States-Andrew Carnegie
No man speaks with greater authority
respecting the practical side of eXpan-
sion. In recent interview Mr.. Carnc-
gle said that if the United States Is GO
ing TO enter upon the course the eXpan-
sionists urge there can be no prosperous
business, because we shall be subject to
wars and wars alarms and business is
the child of security and peace. He de
clared that territorial expansion will not
bring expansion, saying that the devel-
opment of one state IN the union in
peace and security will outweigh all the
increase of profit we can get from for
elgn trade in any Of the worthless pos
sessions which we can attempt now to
take. The Philippines, said Mr.. Carne-
gle, have certain trade which cannot
be greatly increased, the wants of the
people are few. barbarians are no Gus
TONER'S civilized people are the consum-
ers of our products.
If the American people would look at
the question in this practical way there
would be fewer advocates of territorial
expansion. No eypansionist has given
any satisfactory reason for the assump-
ton that the policy he urges would
bring any material increase of trade.
The fact of making the Philippines
American territory would not necessar-
lily increase the wants of the people
there and while we should undoubtedly
get more of the trade of the islands than
we have had it is very doubtful whether
it would repay the cost of governing the
islands. There is no doubt that very
generally there is an exaggerated idea
of the value Of this Philippine trade, but
If it be admitted that it is as valuable
as some claim it to be- the United States
could not control all Of it. The conten
ton that we must appropriate all Of the
Philippines in order to expand our trade
in the far east generally Is absurd. For
this purpose a naval and coaling station
there is all that is necessary, if indeed
even that is required in the interest of
our Asiatic commerce.

THE peculiar shortness of breath which
Is mentioned also seems to indicate that ths
disease is already complicated by a special
variety Of uraema known as dyspnoeaie

not allow the emperor to get UP is yet an
other bad augury Thus, It appears, the
diagnosis is very serious one, especially

extreme probability of complication in the

A .IEDICIlITS ElRM

The comptroller of the currency has is-
sued an order regarding the examina-
ton of national banks which will doubt
less be approved by all conservative
bankers and certainly will be by those
who do business with the banks. The
order provides that national banks in
the large cities, which have heretofore
been examined only once year, shall
hereafter be subjected to examination
twice every twelve months, thus bring
ing them within the rule now applied
to banks in smaller cities. The comp
troller points out that if semi-annual ex-
aminations had been the custom the i'm
New York City which recently closed its
doors would have been disclosed far in
advance of the date of its failure and
that at least part Of the resulting loss
and embarrassment to stockholders
might have been averted
Referring to the order the New York
Mail and Express says 1t will accomplish
a reform in the system of examinations
which is altogether in the interest OF
sound banking. Semi-annual examina-
tions Of banks operating under federal
charters will be none too frequent. They
will be useful to the institutions and
their patrons in equal degree and their
ultimate effect must be to strengthen the
national bank system and give it a
larger hold on the confidence of the bust
LNn f,,l1x wit
view and we are disposed to regard as
judicious the suggestion that bank ex.
aminatiOns be made quarterly, or as
frequently as these institutions are re-
quired to publish statements showing
their condition. Such regulation would
imply no reflection whatever upon the
banks, while its effect would be to beget
a stronger sense of security among de-
positors. On the whole the national
banks are honestly conducted. Theil
| officers are for the most part careful
| and conservative men, of good business
training and judgment who vigilantly
guard the interests committed to theil
| charge. But occasionally a bank fails
and usually Investigation shows thai
with better system of examination il
might have been saved from failure
or the loss to stockholders been rendered
| less severe.
At all events, too much care cannot bC
taken to insure the soundness of tn,
banks and to safeguard them agains
the dangers which experience has showr
beset them. No conservative and pru
dent banker will object to this.
