TorIc.-Honoring the Lords day.-Ex. Xxx,
Sill; Rev. j, 10.
One OF the most vital questions of
Christianity today is that of "honoring
the Lords day" 1t is being dishonored
more and more. The enemies of Chris
tlanity disregard and denounce it, and.
what Is worse, the professed friends of
Christ are ncglecting to Keep it holy
ard sacred to Gcd, and many even claim
that it was only commandment to the
Jews and abrogated by Christ with the
symbols and ceremonies of Judaism.
ouch a claim Is preposterous. Man =
body, mind and soul need the Sabbath
day as much as ever they did. The
Sabbath was an eternal institution and
no distinctive part of Judaism alone,
being instituted centuries before Abra-
ham or Moses was born. That Christ
did not do away with the Sabbath is
proved by the fact that He kept it Him.
self. At Nazareth on the Sabbath dav
lie went to the synagogue, "as His GUS
tom was That man would be prone
to forget this day God realized, for He
began the commandment, "Remember
the Sabbath day" We are commanded
to remember what we are likely to for
get.
That we should honor the Sabbath
day scarcely needs proof. G) We should
do SO in imitation of God. God rested
on the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
we should therefore, in imitation of
God, rest on and hallow the Sabbath
day. CD We should honor the Sabbath
because God commands us to do So He
himself has commanded us to Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy. To refuse to do so is to break Il
solemn command of God. (3) We should
honor the Sabbath, as God requires, for
our own sakes. We need the rest and
the opportunity for worship of God and
communion with God. (i) We lose
nothing by giving this day to God Six
days of mamma in the wilderness, pro-
vided for seven days necessity. In the
providence of God six days labor will
provide for seven days existence, and
thus He has made it possible to keep
this day without loss or injury to our
temporal well being in any way.
God Himself has told us how to hon
or this day. 1t is to be hallowed, to he
kept holy and sanctitied. We are to rest
from physical labors, but rest is not the
end, but only the means to the end.
Rest is necessary that the day may be
sanctified. Thousands of laborers are in
capacitated from making this a hallowed
day because they are not allowed TO
rest from their labors. John was in the
Spirit on the Lords day. Rev i, 10.
Let us be in the Spirit on that day, and
we will keep it holy and sacred, and
will, like John, receive visions of God
and of heaven.

A POPLAR DEMAND.

Those persons who are asserting that
what is called the township and county re-
form movement to secure new system
from the Legislature is simply the fad of
a number of lawyers and would-be reform
ers are greatly mistaken if they believe
what they say. There can be no doubt that
there is a wide popular demand for better
system. If there had been any effort to or
ganize the movement and to emphasize it
by petitions the Legislature would have had
hundreds of them with thousands of names
attached. Nor is the demand worked up by
organization If it were it would be more
pronounced and noisy. Now and then the
people of a county have made vehement
protest because of the abuses Of officials,
but generally the demand has come through
individuals to prominent men and commit
tees. The scores of letters which men like
Chairman Hernly, of the Republican state
committee, have received from people in DIFF
ferent parts of the State, setting forth
abuses and asking relief, show that the de-
mand for a system of township government
which will insure an open and efficient adj
ministration is general and earnest. Why
should it not be? Why should not a system
which is at war with the theory of all other
government be changed? Why should there
not be a township council to legislate for a
township if one is necessary for city? Why
should the one-man power continue?
At the present time there is a very ger
eral interest in efforts to secure better local
government by better system. In Ohio
nonpartsan commission created by the last
session of the Legislature to inquire into
municipal methods has made report to the
Governor in which existing abuses are set
forth and sweeping changes recommended.
The Legislature may not adopt the recon-
mendations, but the people will know the
abuses of existing systems. In other States
much attention is being given to local gov
eminent. Even if the wisest legislation
cannot be secured the awakening is an en-
couraging indication. 1t means that citizens
are taking a deeper interest in the most
important branch of government, that which
concerns local affairs. II is evidence that
the people believe that public affairs should
be as carefully administered as is private
business. 1t is evidence that the people be-
1eVe IN integrity ana That they would nave
higher standards in the discharge of public
trusts-that men who use places of public
trust to promote their own selfish ends to
the public detriment are not good citizens
1t means that patriotism does not consist en-
tirely of cheering the flag, but requires that
high sense of honor in the discharge of
the duties of citizenship which will cause a
man to scorn the abuse of a public trust
by charging more than the law allows.

OBJECTIONS CONSIDERED.

Two or three objections to the pending
township BILL made by correspondents and
others who favor the present vicious sys-
tenn, should be noticed. One of these is
the oft-repeated charge that the bill is a
sort of indictment of township trustees,
charging the whole of them with ineficiency
or dishonesty. In the same sense a bill i'm
posing fine and Imprisonment on horse
thieves is a reflection upon all those who do
not own horses. The Journal has said re-
peatedly that very large majority of town
ship trustees are capable and honest men,
but the more conscientious an officer may
be the more he should desire a system which
makes his duties and responsibilities clear.
All candid men of intelligence must admit
that the township trustee is very much a
law unto himself, and that he is clothed
with power which should not be bestowed
upon one man. Another correspondent says
that the township trustee must obtain au-
tEority from the County Commissioners be-
fore he can levy taxes for schools or roads,
That is the law, but in how many
cases have commissioners refused author
ity? Custom, which is more potential than
law, has left the trustee to himself Under
the present system the trustee can purchase
expensive road machinery He is practi-
caly the judge of the necessity of purchas-
ing and often he is so beset by agents that
he yields to their importuning. If the ne
cessity of such purchase should be left to
council the trustee would not be subjected
to the pressure which many cannot with
stand. That there may be no misunder-
standing it should be stated that while the
nominal authority of the county commits
sioners is required for the levy of road tax
for other levies the trustee has no limit but
the statute. He is the sole judge of the
necessity of imposing such tax
Another objection which the Journal has
noticed is that putting four or five men to
watch the trustee is an dispersion upon his
character" This is very weak nonsense.
In the same sense the Legislature is set to
watch the Governor, and Congress to watch
the President. Township councils are not
detectives but a coordinate branch of
branch is needed in the State and in the
city, it is needed in the township and in
the county. These councils will appropriate
money and the trustee will expend it, The
trustee will estimate the amount of money
which may be required for schools, high
ways and the support of the poor, and the
council will discuss the estimate. Should
the trustee call for more money than the
council judges to be necessary, smaller ap-
preparations will be made. Is there any
trouble with this method? If there is, the
Legislature is unnecessary so far as MAX
ing levies and appropriating money are con-
carnnd

THE TREATY WITH THE PEOPLE.

One would imagine, to read certain news
papers, that the Spanish peace treaty is
favored by only few politicians and spec
ulators who have got the ear of the Presi-
dent. This is a mistake. Right or wrong,
politics or otherwise, everything indicates
that the American people were never SO
largely on one side of real question as
they are in favor of the Spanish treaty.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican and a
couple of minor dailies in Boston tell the
country every day that New England is op-
posed TO expansion or imperialism, meaning
the peace treaty, yet the Maine Legislature
has declared unanimously for the treaty and
the Presidents policy. The same is true of
the New Hampshire Legislature, in which
every township has a representative. 1t has
adopted resolution commencing the treaty
by unanimous vote. There is no better
indication of the popular sentiment of New
England than these large legislatures fresh
from the people. Governor Pingree, of
Michigan. is intensely hostile to ratification
of the treaty but the Michigan Legislature
is for expansion. In the Minnesota Legis-
Iature but three Democrats went on record
in favor of anti-expansion resolutions. The
Democrats in the Indiana Senate gave more
votes against the expansion resolution than
were cast in all the other legislatures in
which the question has been voted on. and
that opposition was probably inspired by a
feeling that they must be against the Re-
publicans whatever the issue.
Whatever it might have been at the out
set, the ratification of the treaty is not a
