COMPARING CUPS.

The enormous revenue the world de-
riyes from taxation on alcoholic drinks
does not speak encouragingly for the
progress OF the temperance cause. Ac-
cording to recently published reports on
this subject, the United states in one
year receives from that source almost
100000 600; Great Britain 10000 900,
France sii0.coO,OoO, and Germany

countries receive a revenue OF over

beverages alone.

YALE'S CELEBRATION.

The celebration of the bicentennlal OF
the University Of Yale commenced yes
terday with grave speeches and i'm
posing ceremonies. Delegates were
present from numerous American seats
OF learning and from foreign institu-
tions. II must have been an insplrlnh
sight to see all those doctors Of divln.
Ivy. OF law, of medicine. OF philosophy.
all those distinguished scholars ana
students Of arts and sciences, gathered
as brotherhood In which there are no
separating lines drawn on account OF
birth, country or creed. On such occa.
sions, the prospect OF a universal
brotherhood in the future OF mankind
becomes clear and distinct. For what
is being done on a small scale among
those who earnestly study the mys-
teries and problems Of existence. will
certainly become more and more uni
yersal. as the hunger and thirst for
righteousness and intelligence extend
to ever Widening circles.
Yale College was established 200 years
ago, by orthodox ministers Of Connec-
uout as defense against heterodoN
tendencies credited to Harvard. 1t was
distinctly church school. and 1t IL
said to be identified with Congrega-
tionalism, though at times 1t has shown
symptoms Of inclning toward Anglican
episeopacy

lectually, and 1t would be impossible
to estimate the part It has had during
the past two centuries in moulding and
forming American character, since the
influence Of such school necessarily
reaches far beyond those who actual,
study and graduate within its walls.
Among the delegates is a personal
representative Of King Oscar II. tho
venerable Bishop Of Vlsby, Won
scheele. The university at Petersburg
is also represented. We hope the worlo
may receive much additional light
through the conjunction Of all those
brilliant stars on the intellectual flrma.

BE CONSISTENT.

The kidnapping of Miss stone, the
American missionary, by brlgands. sup
posed to be Bulgarians, has occasloned
a great deal OF comment throughout the
United States. Every paper OF proml-
nenee has had something 10 say In re-
lation to the occurrence, with opinions
az to the proper course TO be taken for
her rescue and the punishment of the
Offenders The Washington Post, how
ever, takes sharp turn on the press
Of the country, and asks them not to
forget the treatment accorded to 'Mor-
mon missionaries by the christian"
people Of this land. while animadvert-
ing so strongly against the Turkish au-
tho'ities Tor permitting such outreges
as the capture OF Miss Stone.
There may not be an exact parallel
between the two cases But the Post
certainly has good ground for the posi-.
ton 1t has taken on this subject. The
mobbing and maltreatng OF Mormon
Elders while peaceably engaged in
preaching the doctrines o,the New Tes-
lament, is SO foreign, not only to the
true spirit Of Christianity but to the
genius Of American liberty. that the
press Of the United States ought to be
just as vehement in opposing that mob
ocratic influence at home as II Is In
denouncing attacks upon American
missionaries abroad
Some Of the influential Journals in
different places express the strongest
disapprobaton of the violence which
Mormon missionaries have frequent.
ly to meet. But there are Others
which. II they do not openly advocate
that treatment, facility approve of II
and invite hostility by recommending
steps leading TO lawlessness In fighting
what they call "Mormonism."
II our Elders were really engaged in
promulgating those peculiar ideas con-
corning the marriage relation which
many editors and preachers Imagine TO
be the subject OF their teachings. there
would still be no Justification in the
kind Of opposition which IL thus en-
couraged. But when the fact ia, as
may be very easily ascertained IL the
truth is desired, that no such doctrine
is taught or even introduced by our
missionaries, no excuse is left for the
venom and bitterness displayed by
some Of those preachers and papers,
eliminating in covert advice TO drive
the Elders from the cities and towns
where they are sent to preach the pure
Gospel Of Jesus Christ.
Every American citizen, and especial
ly every minister and writer who ad-
dresses the public. should heed the re-
hinder OF the Washington Post and |
while demanding liberty for American |
missionaries abroad. should uphold and
advocate and strive to preserve at homo
that liberty of thought and speech and
worship, which the Constitution of our
country guarantees to all people who do
not violate the law. Consistency is one
OF the rarest Of shining jewels.

1t was noted as 4 remarkable exccp-
ton to the rule, that the change in the
government Of Afghanistan passed OFF
without any disturbances. Generally
the death Of ruler in that country
means a sangunery struggle between
the different factions--the opposing po-
lltical parties--for the control Of the
throne and the Offices at the disposition
Of the King among mis- supporters. Bat
the late ameer passed away and his son
seconded tn vacant throne, 1t was
said, without the usual fight for power
and eiuolunents.
But now II is asserted In London that
there are prospects of disturbances In
Turklstan on the Afghan side. and that
the Russian government has ordered
the mobilization without delay OF all
the Cossack regiments In the Ural and
Il couple Of other districts, and that
the troops IN the Caucasus have also
been ordered to hold themselves H.
readiness for mobilization. IL IL also
given out that the Russian minister Of
war intends visiting all the forts on
the Afghan frontier, to ascertain their
condition and lind out what is needed
for an effective defense. II these state
ments are true, the status OF tranquil
ity IN Afghanstan cannot be too &C.
cure. There must at least be some
chance for stirring w a disturbance,
should it b. thought desirable to dc
so.
There is little doubt that the rivals of
Great Britain would gladly embrace
an opportunity Of displaclng that coun
try at the court Of Cabul. But at the
same time, they viii proceed slowly.
Great Britain has not lost prestige on
account OF her operations IN South AZ
RIGA. to the extent that some would like
the world to believe. Her rivals know
that her financial resources are practi-
eally unlimited. They know that a
billion dollars, supposng the African
campaign to cost that much. is not
much OF figure as compared to the
actual wealth Of the empire. They
know that her naval strength equals
almost that OF two other European
countries while she now has a quarter
Of a million soldiers trained on numer-
Gus battlehelds. After looking at these |
facts. Russia will be slow in provoking |
hostillties either with or without the
aid Of France. Russian troops may be
on the Afghan frontier, but
the affairs Of that country are likely to |
be permitted TO run on as before. Rus
sla cannot be looking for trouble with
Great Britain. at least If 1t Is true
that Japan ls only waiting for favor

The conviction Of John Most, and his
sentence to one year In prison, is based
upon an article which he published, en-
titled Murder VS. Murder" written. so
he says, by one Hernson at least 50
years ago. The article contained this
doctrine Of assassination: "As despots
permit themselves everything betrayal.
poison, murder, etc. In the same way
all this Is to be employed against them.
Yes, crime directed against them is not
only right, but II Is the duty Of every
one who has an opportunity TO commit
II, and II would be a glory to him II
II was successful. Murder as a neces-
sary defense Is not only permissible,
but II Is sometimes a duty toward So
ciety when II Is directed against a pro-
fessional murderer. We say murder
for murderers; save humanity through
blood and iron, poison and dynamite.
