Less than a week remains OF this ses.
sion OF Congress, and while the danger of
an extra session has greatly diminished,
1t can har lily be said that 1t has yet been
entirely avertsd Much depends upon the
reception that the Cuban agreement
meets in the Senate. 1t will be easy
enough, II any one is so disposed, to SO
protIact debate in regard to it as to com
pei an extra session. Two, or even one
Senator like PettiRrew. could DO 1t with
out anv assistance. The agreement of
the Democratic members OF the COM

ably Is assuring to a certain extent, but

keep 1t open. There is this consideration.
however, to restrain him-he would
really accomplish nothing except to cause
an extra session, OF which he will not be
a part, for he was not reelected. That
would hardly recompense him for his
trouble.

The gleat steel trust which MIR. j. p.

advanced that its contamination can be
confidently predicted, Rumor places the

about S3OO, ,OU0 more than the total capitals
of the companies that are to be combined
into the new company. This $sUO, 900

panies that have been pat into the
trust thers was a large amount OF water
already, so that 1t will be seen that the
total stock issued by the new company

is very large sum 1t 10 exploited that
by combining the differing plants a great
many economies can be made, and that
is doubtless true, hut the probability
that in order TO pay dividends on all OF

price OF iron and steel. This 1t can
elsily DO, for It viii practically control all
the manufactures in this line in the
country, and the tariff will keep out for

trust will take advantage Of Its power to
raise prices that has led Mr.. Babcook
to prepare bill to repeal the duties on
iron and steel. This bill will not bs In

No one knows hetter than those who are
making it, that all this talk about the
railroads having designs against the city
is the sheerest nonsense. Thofe who

nervous persons In our community who
will be affected by 1t, and that, conse-
quently, 1t may yield them some votes
No longer than three months ago, the
parsons who are making most of this
talk conceded to the railroads
valuable rights in Back Bay without the
slightest demur. The whole thing is q

AN AMERICAN DENOMINATION.

The Baptists of New England held anniversary
meetings they call them at Springfield, Mass,
last week.
This gives us hint to call attention to a great
denomination which has wrought itself deep into
the fibres OF American life.
Congregational in its policy and Democratic in
Its instincts the Baptist has always kept close to the
plain people without in the least modifying its fund
amental principles. If the congregational policy
really is a handicap to modern Christianity, the
Baptist denomination is entitled to all the more
credit, for its growth has been great and uninter
rupted
The latest statistics give the number of Baptists
in the United States as 4233 226 a gain during the
last year of 5l,55O, nearly l.25 per cent, The
baptisms for the year 1871, 1885, showing that
the additions nearly four times great the
net gain. There are in the United States 1889
churches and 80 $40 ministers.
Ever since the year 1859. when Roger Williams,
driven from Massachusetts, organized Baptist
Church in Rhode Island, the great Baptist denomin-
alton has stood for freedom patriotism, Justice and
the complete separation of Church and State.
1t has become peculiarly American body in
it's life and ideals and it is not strange. therefore,
that it has become strongest in the South and gen.
orally in the sparsey settled parts of the country
where the life of the people has been least affected
by foreign immigration and by the ideals of the Old
World civilization.

fu and it must be confessed that in some States and
perhaps at sometimes in all States fuss and feathers
have predominated serious purpose. The strut
ting vanity OF overdressed Captains, Colonels and
Brigaders is sometimes laughabe enough, but it is
no longer typical of guardsmen, who more and more
are devoting themselves to serious work. In an
emergency they are frequently found invaluable.
New York at the same time as Jacksonville
had a different experience which enforces the
same lesson. Suddenly, almost without warming, a
mob overrdes the police power in the State Capital
of the Empire State and threatens the destruction of
life and property,
Were it not for the National Guard the disorder
ly elements would dominate the city and hold not
merely the street railway company, but all orderly
citizens at their mercy. Several times in the last
few years the usefulness even the absolute necessity
of the Guard to face similar outbreaks has been
manifested.
You cannot have too much National Guard and
too little Regular Army. The National Guard Off
