DR.. Hugh o. Pentecost of New York re-
ferred in his sermon the other day to the
attempt to suppress the play, Sapho, by
police authority, and denounced the at
tempt as 'ill-advised, impolitic, uncalied-
fer and foolish" He thought the play and
others of its kind should be permitted to
go on undisturbed. Interference with the
amusements of the people by process of
law is wrong" he declared Continuing he
said: Il would not suppress by law drink
ing places or gambling houses. 1 would not
suppress opium dens or houses of i'll re-
pute by the same process l believe that
the entire matter Of these places should
be taken out of the hands of the law. I
believe that no good can possibly come
from legal Interference with mems de-
sires and amusements" Such language,
coming from the pulpit, is startling, to
say the least. Car it be that DR.. Pente-
costs desire for notoriety leads him to
take stand so Numerically opposite to
the position of other ministers and teach
ers of morals?

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the fact that Northern
schools in the South, but NOS hing to
schools for Southern white children, the
Birmingham Age-Herald Dem) says:
Northern philanthropists do not seem to
know that there are white boys in the
South who are striving to get a fair start
in life and they probably never will know
1t. They are much concerned over the
higher education of the negro, and they
cannot see the white boys who must car
ry the burden in the coming years The
white colleges will have to struggle along
until she South gains its share of the
natural wealth, as it assuredly will, and
then Southern colleges will not lack en-
dowments."
The Washington star (Rep) says: 1.-THE
Populists in the West are recruited very
largely from the Republicans. They did
not become estranged solely on account of
the money question. Some of them held
low tariff views. Others advocated gov
ernment ownership of all public utilities.
SO that the collapse of all the argument
put forward by Mr.. Bryan in support of
free silver will not of itself take them out
of his train. He still stands for much in
which they believe, and they are now dis
posed TO rally to his support a second
time"
The Washington Post Qnd), comment
ing on the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Bowersock of Kansas to pension a
late photographer of the federal army
during the war of secession, says: 1T
is up TO- Mr. Bowersock to explain his
bill. We suspect that. like other states
men in both ends of the Capitol, he has
been imposed upon. If so, he had better
follow their example in making full con-
fession, But the end of this nonsense is
not yet in sight. We are looking every
day for a bill to pension the suffers and
army contractors of our great war"
The Nashville American Dem) says:
"In appointing Gen. Luke e. Wright of
Memphis a member of the commission en-
trusted with the responsibility of franz
ing suitable laws for the 100000 inhab-
itants of the Philippine Islands, the Pres
ident has chosen man who, in the dis
charge OF the arduous duties which will
come before the commission, will reflect
credit upon the state of Tennessee in par
dcular, and the South in general"
