Found in Massachusetts.

Il THE CRANKS do not live in
! a Kansas; there are a few left
around Boston. A recent dispatch
from the Hub says that a DR.. Jackson
of Cambridge was suspended from
membership in the Second Presbyter-
ian church at that place because in
becoming an American citizen he took
an oath to uphold the constitution of
the United States" The dispatch adds
that Jackson proposes to fight the
ruling" AS Jackson is a Scotchman
by birth. the chances are that he will
put up a pretty good fight.
Rev. ]. NJ. Foster. pastor of the
church from which Jackson was ex-
PEELED, in support of his position in the
case, made this statement:
I'VE look upon the constitution of the
| United States as an immoral docu-
ment and as an insult to the Almighty,
in that it makes no mention whatever
of God, and claims for the people that
sovereign power which belongs to GOu
| alone. We refuse to accept the consti-
| tuition thus defective, and cannot
swear allegiance 10 it,
The cornerstone of the constitution,
along with recognizing the equality of
all men before the law, declares that
neither the liberty of conscience nor the
exercise of religious worship shall many
manner be abridged. In what way does
this declaration claim for the people
that sovereign power which belongs to
God alone?"
We believe it was Alexander Hamil-
ton one of the trainers of the constitu-
ton, who pointed out the inharmonious
relation which any recognition of
church or Deity could bear to an in
strument designed for the government
of people of all beliefs as well as those
of no faith whatever. 1t is hard to
conceive how a constitution could be
worded otherwise without doing VIC
lence to the conscience of Jews and in
fidels, some of whom were signers Of
that instrument, and many of whom
offered up their lives in the war which
gave it birth.
A church which claims that the name
of the Deity in our constitution is of
more Importance than the liberty of
conscience and the freedom of worship
which it guarantees, should not be
taken seriously. In justice to the large
ajority of Presbyterians outside this
church which suspended DIR. Jackson
for taking out naturalization papers,
we believe few can be found who will
sustain the Rev. Foster in his conten-
ton that the constitution is an i'm
moral document because it omits the
name of the Deity. That is tantamount
to saying that everything written is
immoral which does not begin and end
with His name.
1t goes even farther. and there is
where the mischief lies. The talk of
this Rev. Foster and the action of his
church is more harmful than the vapor-
ings of an Emma Goldman or Johann
Most: because, while pretending to
preach the gospel of Christ Foster dis
courages citizenship and seeks to bring
odium upon the law. If this is not
anarchism, what is anarchism?

ADMIRAL scHIEY IN ACTION.

In a recent issue of the Review of
Reviews, Park Benjamin opens a splen-
did article on Admiral Schley as fol-
lows:
In the great sea fight off Santiago,
but one man on the vessels of the
United States was killed. He stood
brayely out on the Brooklyn's fore
castle. measuring fundamentally the
distance of the nearest Spanish ship. A
moment before, the commodore, almost
beside him, had expressed a belief that
the Viscaya was gaining on her pursu-
ers, and in response to a repeated eX-
preston of doubt, the instrument was
leveled
mo, sir" said Ellis, quietly CHANGING
along the sights, "she is not further off
than 1900 yards"
Again he adjusted his telescope,
looked long and carefully, lowered it
from his eye, and began:
NO."
Then came mighty whir-a fierce
rush of wind sweeping by and stagger-
ing everyone-and the headless body
of the sole victim fell to the deck
They picked it up and carried it to
the side, as if to give it to the ocean.
Then the commodore:
mo, boys-no-not that-not that
put him there beside the turret-and
cover him! God knows, we owe him
Christian burial"
And so they spread a tarpaulin over
the sad sight. and the guns of victory
Numbered a knell for him.
If the Spanish shot had laid low, not
that gallant young seaman, but the vet
eran commodore who had then served
his country for more than forty years,
this life story of the latter would never
have been told

Farewell, But Not Forever.

IN THE BATTLE of life only wher
the golden link that unites time
and eternity is severed are marble
and bronze monuments erected to per-
petuate the name and fame of good and
great men, whose praises the poet
sweetly sings. and to whom historians
give niche in the temple of fame.
Presidents are not commemorated in
the postage stamps of our country till
their true merit is tested by time and
no stain rests on their private life after
retiring from the high office of the ma
tons rulers. The soldier and states
man must abide their time and let their
merits, loyalty and worth shed luster on
the history of their country and de-
scend to their children. Some great
men, when the work of their life is
finished are, though living. dead.
The name of Judge Goodwin is IA
miliar to all west of the Rocky noun
tains as household word. For forty
years he has devoted his life and tai
ents to the retaining of the wild
west" TO the infusion of love of coun.
try and to the spread of knowledge.
No more prominent writer than he has
given distinction to the western states;
no more brilliant writer has welded
the pen, making it "mightier than the
sH word"
Judge Goodwin's inimitable style and
originality, his wisdom and philosophy,
his soft, loving and generous heart.
as expressed in his writings and daily
life, have given him distinction that
will perpetuate his memory. The Salt
Lake Tribune for twenty odd years
was simply the expression of his single
mind. Its editorials reflected his per-
sonal character His retirement from
the editorial chair will naturally create
a void in the paper which was so much
sought for by old readers.
In parting with his life long work
Judge Goodwin did so without COM
plant or apology. With i'll will to none
and good wishes to all, the old editor
quietly passed from a busy, useful and
important state of life to retirement
In the parting, his numberless friends
and admirers-many Of whom never
saw him-say: yale, vale, sed non
longe vale farewell, farewell, but not
long farewelD.
May we again see you portrayed in
your writings. old friend. and may it
be our happy lot to read your thoughts
in books and magazines, so that old adj
mirers may truly say the Judge still
liVeth

FATHER Mathews PROXY.

Brougham told Father Mathew, the
celebrated Irish temperance advocate
relates Good Words, an English period
ical, that he was extremely abstem-
nous in the matter of wine. In 1874
Father Mathew amused q large party
at the house of an Irish nobleman in
London, by his attempts to convert me
noble lord to teetotalism.
Il drink very little wine'' said
Brougham; 'only half a glass at lunch
con and two. half glasses at dinner:
and though my medical advisers told
me L should increase the quantity, ]
refused to do So
They are wrong, my lord, for ad-
vising you to increase the quantity"
said Father Mathew, playfully. "and
you are wrong in taking even the small
quantity you mention, but L have
hopes of you' and, despite the good
humored resistance of Brougham, he
invested his lordship with the green
ribbon and silver medal of the Total
Abstinence society.
I'll tell you what I'll do" said
Brougham. iii take the ribbon to the
house of lords, where I shall be sure
to meet old Lord - the worse for
liquor, and I'll put it on him."
Ihls announcement was received
with laughter by the company, for the
peer referred to was notorious for his
