DEFECTIVE CHURCH GOVERNMENT.

Those who have given any attention to the
subject must be impressed with the fact
that nine-tenths Of the troubles and dissen-
sions in churches which have become puohc
scandals are In those denominations In
which the church is an independent organi-
zaticn. That system of church government
IS known as congregational or Independent.
Each church organization is an independent
democracy. The church may call council
to give advice. but the church calling IT need
not accept the decision IL one is made. The
majority can call any man to be the pastor
of the church, no matter how unfit he is for
the position. Usually. contentious In indie
pendent churches grow out of disputes
affecting the character Of the preacher. In
such contention the old Adam appears In his
most unregenerate FORM Church edifices are
turned into armed garrisonA and many
cases can be cited where the two factions
have fought In the church with lists. sticks

Some queer things happen under the pen
sion law. A case recently investigated was
that of Nathan Hobbs soldier in the In
dian wars, who was discharged April II.
1888, after serving four months He mar
ried five times, the last time when he was
setenty-six years DID, his bride being seven
teen. A few months ago he died, and
pension Of IS a month was granted to his
widow. The Pension Bureau calculates that
If his widow remains unmarried and lives
as long as Nathan did. she will be on the
pension rolls in 1866, or $50 years after the
war in which he fought closed and from
which he retired in such good health that
he survived 1t sixty years. If the widow
continues TO draw a pension till 1866 she
will be a patriotic relic, indeed.

Under the head of awkward mistakes"
a woman writer tells in the New York
Tribune how, on meeting the street a
gentlemanly looking man whose face was
familiar, she bowed TO him, only to dis
cover later, to her embarrassment, that he
was her sisters footman. The inference is
that she would not have spoken TO him if
she had realized in time that the man was
a servant, although she acknowledged hav-
ing seen him scores of times. If this is not
snobbery. what is it? Yet 1t is not uncom-
mon among certain class a women who
have a curious notion that they somehow
risk their own dignity and social standing
by publicly recognizing persons who are in
the humber walks of life. Women have
been known to carry this idea so far as to
affect not TO see their own cooks or house
maids when encountered in a public place.
Such manners are not genuine, especially
here in the democratic West, where class
distinctions are not closely drawn, but it
is a code observed frequently enough to
have its effect upon servants and TO add
to the difficulties Of the servant problem.
Such conduct is probably based in part
the false theory that domestic service is
less honorable than other callings and part
ly on the exaggerated Importance some
women attach to their own personality.
They fail to understand that an intentional
failure to recognize any acquaintance how
ever humble, for fear of comment by third
persons is confession of insecurity in their
own social footing. No woman sure of her
own self-respect and position ever hesitates
to be courteous to everyone at any time or
place. If men entertained the singular
sense of social superiority to their own or
their friends employees that women do, the
labor question would suddenly grow more
complicated than ii is. When women be-
come more sure of themselves and of their
ability to maintain their dignity under all
circumstances their snobbishness will van
fish.

different parts OF the State the protection
will not be very complete. Moreover. as all
anglers know. fish rarely ever bite during
the spawning season. Nevertheless. the pro-
vision is good one. and, if enforced, in
connection with other provisions of the law
regarding dynamiting. SEEMING, ETC.. will af-
ford such protection as should insure the
rapid multiplication OF fish in all the waters
of the State. A good provision of the law
a line having not more than fifty hooks
during ten months of the year, from July
TO April 80, in the succeeding year. This is
a favorite method of fishing with farmers
and in the small towns. and the fact that
the old law prohibited it made the law un-
popular. Now, as the farmer is allowed to
pursue his favorite style Of fishing, ii is
hoped he will assist in enforcing the pro-
visions against dynamiting and other de-
structive practices. The new law makes
dynamiting fish streams a felony, punishable
by imprisonment for not less than one year
nor more than three years in the State
Prison. All fishermen will hail this provi-
new law which should be popular with farm
ers is that which permits SEEMING. The law
says:
1t shall be lawful TO fish in the rivers
and streams OF this State between July
and Sept. 80 of any year with seine not
exceeding one hundred feet in length and
eight feet in width, and with mesh not
less than one and half inches in size,
distance to be measured from knot to knot,
or with trap net with mesh of the same
regulation, said seine TO be without any
trammel, pocket or basket; provided that
a license to do so shall be first obtained
from the commissioner of fisheries or his
deputy.
The law prescribes the conditions on which
a license to use a seine may be obtained,
and also under which it may be used. The
seine may not be used in any river or stream
connected with a lake, within half a mile of
the inlet or outlet of the lake, nor within
one hundred yards of any person fishing
with hook and line, nor on the lands of
any person covered by any stream if he shall
post notices warning seiners off his land.
The holder of a seining license must give
bond that he will not use or permit the
same TO be used in violation of the law,
and no person shall enter on any inclosed
land for the purpose of sening without first
obtaining the consent of the owner, lessee
or tenant Of the premises. Under these pro-
visions a farmer several neighboring
farmers may get license TO seine in their
own waters during the months of July, Au-
gust and September. SEEMING is popular in
the country. and this provision, though
somewhat restrictive, should tend to popu-
larize the new law with farmers. 1t will be
found difficult, however, to enforce in the
rural districts the provision against hook
and-line fishing in May and June. AS for
fall fishing. that remains without any re-
strictions. The provision for enforcing the
new law is so inadequate that it cannot be
made effective without the cooperation and
assistance of all who believe in the principle
of fish protection.

THE NEW FISH LAW.

In the spring a young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of fishing, and the fancies
of a good many older ones begin to grope
in the same direction. Maybe they will ma
ture later on in a days outing, maybe
they will die bornin'." The number OF
men who think of going fishing is much
larger than the number who really so. Most
men go fishing in their minds. The number
is comparatively small of those who pull
really go. Those who do so this year, or
who even think about il, will find themselves
confronted by different conditions now from
those of former seasons. Heretofore spring
fishing with hook and line has been the
favorite sport of amateur anglers. Fall fish
ing Is regarded by experts as superior TO
spring fishing, but 1t is apt to be accom-
panied by some discomforts in the way of
bad weather. and it lacks the attractions of
an early outing at the birth OF the season.
But the new law comes pretty near doing
away with spring fishing by restricting 1t
TO one month. Section OF the law is as
follows:
1t shall not be lawful to take. catch or
kill any fish i'm any way nor by any de-
vice whatever in the months of May and
June, in any of the streams OF the State. or
except with a hook and line, in any of the
waters OF this State except Lake Michigan
and the Ohio river. and except, also, in
private ponds, between the first day Of
January and the first day of April, and be-
tween the first day OF May and the first day
OF July OF any year. Whoever shall violate
or attempt 10 violate, any OF the provisions
OF this section shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than
s. and not more than so for each offense.
This prohibits hook -and-line fishing In the
months of May and June and practically re-
stricts spring fishing to the month of April
The object is to close the season and pro-
tect the fish during the spawning season.

and other carnal weapons. to the unmeas-
ured delight OF the ungodly and to the in
jury Of good morals and religion Usually
these dissensions grow out of scandals con-
nected with the pastor. and no matter how
notorious these scandals are and how gen.
orally believed. the preacher continues in the
office Of pastor so long as ar excited ma
Jority Will stand by him, regardless of the
fact that public morals and decency are

In denominations like the Methodists, the
Episcopaiians, the Catholics, and in a less
marked degree. the Presbyterians. there is a
central church government which exercises
authority over the different churches. con-
dition like that in the South-street Baptist
Church could not exist in a Methodist an
Episcopalian Church. Pending n, investi-
cation Of charges affecting the character of
the pastor, he would be suspended from the
pastorate. He would not be permitted to
preach In church of the denomination I'M
I'll INDICATED. and, If not indicated, he
would be dismissed, so that if he should
preach thereafter it must be to some other
congregation than one assembling in a
Methodist Church. BY this power an end is
made of scandal in a single church. Further
more, the preachers or pastors in denomina-
tions which have a central authority must
be admitted to the ministry by that au-
thority in some form, so that no church in
the connection can take as a teacher or pas
tor man who has not the credentials of
the central authority. This protects the
majority of the members of church. The
bishop in the church has often been
tyrant, but in modern times he is thousand
times more likely to insure orderly church
government than he is to do injustice to
subordinates.

Chicago school children to determine their
comparative ability TO stand the fatigues of

been invented whereby the muscular power
is ascertained, the psychological principle
being that one set of muscles is an index to
the general condition of the body; it is also
held that in a majority of cases there is a
physical cause for the bad standing of
