theological student could often use loan
Of two or three hundred dollars to good
advantage, and it was not so great sum
that he could not pay it in few years
after graduation; but nothing less than
two or three thousand would do the mod
ern student much good, and the chances OF
his repaying that, out of the average min
ister's salary, are rather slender. More
over, a large loan either brushes man
with a sense of obligation or engenders in
him an irresponsible willingness to live
on borrowed money, neither of which feel
ings is good for him
In short. the free loan system practically
pauperizes the students whom it is in
tended to benefit, and that is always q
bad result of any charity. There are
enough young men in this country to sup,
ply all the demand for clergymen, among
the classes sufficiently well-to-do to edu-
cate their sons, and If a young fellow is
really determined TO be a clergyman, ana
is intended by nature Or one, he can gen.
orally find somebody who will help him to
the extent of paying some of his fees.
Moreover, it is distinctly stated that in
eases of exceptional hardship the loans
will be available. The new plan will
simply cut off the supply of clerical pau
pers.
In this day and generation any man anA-
ious to work for the cause of religion can
do it very nearly as well in business as In
a pulpit Indeed the influence of the lay
man is often greater. since he is not sup
posed to make business of preaching, or
to be educated for it. When he, as man
of plain common sense, advocates a prin-
ciple, it has rather more effect on the
average public than the advocacy of the
same principle by clergyman, who is
paid to do it.

Williams Is Hopeful. - When last
heard from the Hon. George Fred Williams
was scampering over the prairies of the
West telling the benightad folks in that
region that Massachusetts, certainly would
be numbered among the elect this year
He based his confident prediction upon the
certainty that the Democrats of the Old
Bay State would be wise enough and pa
triotic enough to renominate for Governor
the Hon. Robert Treat Paine who made
a race last year which excited lively in
terest among the proud old Brahmins of
Beacon Hill mainly because this young
statesman sprang from the loins of one OF
their number. There is no bluer blood in
all Massachusetts than that which surges
through the veins of the Hon. Robert
Treat Paine. and for this very reason the
prophetic soul OF George Fred Williams
scornfully refuses to entertain even a sug-
gestion that Paine will not be the next
Governor of Massachusetts, and sweep its
electoral vote into the Bryan column

All readers Of history know how dangerous to
the liberties OF the people, how burdensome and
what an invitation to national aggressiveness, a
big regular army is. And the tendency is TO con-
stantly increase the force. The principle or

Revenue and Taxation.

The increase OF the public debt during President
McKinley's Administration amounts to slos, 49,
40 representing bonds sold TO meet the expenses
Of the war with Spain. In addition TO the heavy
duties imposed by the Dineley tariff get and the
large sums collected through the internal revenue
system, the Mckinley Administration has obtain
ed additional revenues by levying special war
taxes thus taking from the pockets of the peo-
pie more than the Government requires for its
maintenance. The accumulation Of enormous
surplus in the Treasury is not of itself proof
Of an efficient administration Of the Government.
1t represents excessive taxation and the imposl-
ton of unnecessary burdens upon the people.
The existence Of such a surplus stimulates cor
ruption and extravaganza, promotes subsidy
schemes, and is demoralzing in the extreme

supported Jim Hogg of Texas,
