tory as the long. Do we not know of peo-
pie who lived only till they had fairly
reached maturity, yet packed into that
short space of time the experiences and
emotions of a lifetime? Who can measure
human happiness or human pain. even in
the light of experience? And IL we can
not even understand our human neighbors,
how much less do we know Of the dumb
animals, the insect life, the millions OF
creatures too small TO be seen without a
microscope? How do we know that the
pain in this world, on the whole, over
balances the joy? If it does. why should
we instinctively regard the taking of life
as the greatest of sins?
Natures so-called waste is. generally
speaking only wise conserving of force
in some form or other The anthropomor-
phic ideas of centuries past regarded the
earth as gotten up solely for mans use and
enjoyment. Land uninhabited by man was
waste" or wilderness" But it was pop
ulous, for all that; and it was accommodating
treasure used by man when he came on
the scene. Nothing was wasted; only the
form passed away. The substance was IN
changed.
We are more and more generally coming
TO believe that the laws of nature and of
the spiritual world are no. contradictory,
as was once supposed, but ii absolute uni
son. and that one explains the other. An
analogy may be drawn here. The law of
gravitation is absolute. Every particle OF
matter in the earth is controlled by it.
But when tree grows the force of life
acts directly against the law of gravitation,
and we find particles pushed upward. away
from the earth's centre, in obedience TO
another law. Yet the law of gravitation
has not ceased TO work; neither has the
law of cohesion; both serve to direct and
make manifest the results of the law of
growth. So the laws which we call
spiritual do not contradict facts; there is
nothing magical about them, and in certain
ways they are subject to the laws of nature
But the spiritual Law must. in the end.
shape and control all human life, just as
the mysterious thing called life overcomes
the resistance of cohesion and the attrsc-
ton of the earth, and makes a tree appar-
emily out of nothing.
About two-thirds of the evils which we're
formerly ascribed, first to devils. and then
TO poor, abused nature, were simply the
result of mans opposition to natural laws.
If baby puts its hand on a stove it is
burned, and refrains from trying the ex-
pertinent again. But if there is an older
child who induces it TO put its hand on the
stove again and again, out OF brsvado. the
stove will burn the baby every time. So
false systems of religion and morals have
induced people tc oppose natural and
spiritual laws And they are beginning 10
after some generations of ex-
perience that fire always burns.

II. Nature Christinn.

PROF, Frederick Palmer. OF Andover
xrites an article in The New World
On the difference between the laws Of
nature and what he thinks are the laws
Of God He takes the ground that nature
Is not Christian, because mature is that
which is the kingdom Of God is that which
ought to be. and between the two there is
a great gulf fixed He adduces in sup
port Of this theory the enormous waste"
which exists in nature-ihe empty spaces
between the stars. the savage hurry 10
turn the fruitful field into q forest and
so on.
Such a subject is rather large for the
mere human being TO consider but there
is something TO be said on the other side
Of 1t. Prof. Palmer's view is that which
WAS common two or three generations ago.
and II is possible that, by some law OF
heredity or environment. his imagination
may have been colored by old-fsshioned
ideas. A great deal OF the seeming
cruelty" OF nature is only a result of a
limited feld OF vision. To the farmer 81
doubtless seems that nature is in a savage
hurry 10 grow weeds all over his corn
field; but II nature did not insist on some
such general law. the earth would have
been worn out long ago by the continual
raising OF the same crop on the same
around. Nature originated the law OF ro-
tatiop OF crops; man only discovered IT.
and when he put himself in harmony with
that law, by humoring nature a little, he
found that his land was more fruitful.
Again, the cutting short Of myriads Of
lives seems TO us cruelty; bu, after all,

Lnfayettc-"H. VI. s. Pinaforev and
"CayRIlcria Rusticeuav

The chief difference between the Aborn
Opera Company, which played brief sea-
son here some months ago. aad the Stra-
kosch Opera Company, which opened last
night at the Lafayette Square, is in the
matter Of tenor and a new ship scene
for III. VI. S. Pinafore," the first half of
yester-evening's bill. The principals In
the cast are the same who created so ex-
cellent an impression before. and even
the chorus has suffered but few substitu-
lions. The ensemble has been increased
in size though in so far as numbers are
concerned, the disparity 'twixt the audi
ences OF the former Monday and OF this
caused most comment. Briefly, the two or
CARNATIONS are so nearly alike that there
is slight requirement for extended eriti-
cism in speaking OF that now being pre-
scented by Manager Painter
The new ship scene to which allusion
has been made, is not perfect from nauti-
cal viewpoint, but ii is a great improve
ment, nevertheless. The setting given III.
VI. S. Pinafore" by the Aborn troupe was
the great fault of the rendering, and say
Ing that this has been corrected is saying
that Gilbert and Sullivan's satirical, melo-
dious opera was given in a manner really
Joseph, began badly by introducing a
series of uncalled-for topical jokes, but
afterward elevated his comedy and became
acceptable. Fred Frear was the usual
puerile Dick Deadeye. and Amelia Fields
poor Buttercup. These unpleasant weak
nesses, however, were balanced in the ad-
mirable Captain Corcoran OF J. X. Murray.
Mr. Murray has high baritone OF consid
cradle power. and of fine quality. His
serenade. Fair Moon to Thee, was beau
fully sung. Grafton Bakers voice has a
nasal tone that is unfortunate, but is
sweet and robust. His acting was fair.
Eleanor Kent was a thoroughly adequate
Josephine, Edmond F. Mulkay a nervous
Bill Bobstay, and Grace Orr a delightfully."-
pretty and prettily delightful Hebe. The
chorus did good work.
In "Cavalleria Rusticana" two features
were especially notable-the Santuzza OF
Clara Lane and the singing OF this same
chorus. The feature last named drew most
applause. There are some forty people in
the ensemble, and they work together with
spirit and precision. The dynamic eli
makes with which "Cavalleria Rusticana"
abounds. notably that which eliminates
the hymn before the church, received such
treatment as rarely is accorded them in
regular-priced organizations. Miss Lane
did not show to all her old advantage, but
still she was vocally and hlstrionically
admirable. Mr.. Murray's Alto was ex-
cellent, and the Turridu OF W. Stephens
proved fair. Miss Kent and Miss Fields
were weak. The production, summed up,
was next TO perfect. II could not have
been much better given. The orchestra.
though lacking In numbers. did WELL being
encored for its rendering OF the intermezzo.

Active and permanent reforms in Cuba
have been waiting upon the completion Of
the insular census. The eanvassing part
Of this is finished. and when the statistics
have been accurately compiled will fur
nish a basis for definite procedure which
has hitherto been wanting. The war in
which the island was so long involved

It is sincerely to be hoped that every
friend of the naval service. ard every
friend OF American honor in Congress will
vote down the resolution introduced by
Senator MeComas yesterday to extend the
thanks of Congress to Rear Admiral
Sampson and Rear Admiral Schley." Either
Rear Admiral Schley is entitled 10 the
thanks, or neither OF them is Sampson
certainly is not. For Congress to lend
itself TO the miserable Navigation Bureau
conspiracy TO crown the person Sampson
with iaurels he never won would be
pitiably ridiculous. Schley has been
crowned by the American people and
everywhere hailed as the victor of Sam
