CHANGING VIEWS.

A young man was examined for license
to preach before prominent church
organization in New York. He was
highly educated and gave great promise
of usefulness as a pastor. He was asked
some question as to Adam and Eve in
the garden. He answered that he
thought that chapter about Adam and
Eve purely allegorical. Then the
trouble began. His license was refused
by two thirds vote and one clergyman
said he must be turned up and given a
dressing. This incident and the case ef
two other young men recently refused
admission to the ministry because they
reject the Adam and Eve story have
caused quite a commotion in the re-
ligious world. The president of the
leading Presbyterian seminary says that
| if it is heresy to treat the story Of Adam
and Eve as allegorical and not historical
then there are plenty of heretics preach
ing sermons in Presbyterian pulpits to-
day. The New York Outlook calls the
rejection of these men on these grounds
as ecclesiastical bullying" DR.. Park
hurst, of New York, declares that if
Christ employed the processes now
used in selecting ministers most of the
twelve apostles would have been re.
|jected. The New York Independent
says that no competent, educated pro.
fessor in biology or geology in any
religious college In the United States
now believes that Adam or Eve ever ex.
listed. Itgoes on to say that the clergy.
men who were educated generation OF
two ago never got any education at al
and that these older men are now oppos
ing "their great ignorance to modern
knowledge"
! So it goes. The old is displaced by
the new. The old theology is wiped Out
by the new, the old republicanism is
|supplanted by the new that is founded
upon avarice and material prosperity
The old democracy is supplanted by {
modern succotash of populism, anarchy
and fiatism; and, the old men of al
creeds and beliefs find that faith and
opinion are constantly changing.

All this talk of restraint Of trade" in
republican papers and by republican
officials is an insult to the intelligence Of
the people. The very foundation stone
of republican policy is restraint Of
trade" The fruitage of republican ad-
ministration is restraint Of trade" If
one talks Of restraint of trade" the
benefciaries Of protection claim that
the people are threatened with the dis
aster of free trade" 1t is good republi-
can doctrine that the greater danger OF
the dear people lies in the possibility OF
their being allowed to trade without re-
straint.-Johnstown Democrat.

This nearly $4,000 worth of Amer
ican meats sent abroad in one month
included nearly 100000 pounds of
pork. So that in month when, &C.
cording to the beef trust, there was a
"scarcity of cattle' so severe that it was
bound to advance the prices of beet and
pork to points that were prohibitory to
thousands of families, it was neverthe-
less able to ship out of the country this
enormous quantity of beet and pork,
pay the freight on it to Great Britain
and other countries, in whose retail
markets 1t was sold, and is still being
sold, at prices far below those demanded
of American consumers. A cable to the
World on April 80 reported American
beef selling at IA cents pound in the
London markets-10 cents below the
New York price on the same day.
If Attorney General Knox needs any
evidence to clinch what he already has
claimed that the beef trust is monopoly
in restraint of trade between the states,
and is fixing the American prices of meat
by virtue of that monopoly at arbitrary
and extortionate figures, he will find it
in the export returns we have quoted
and in the London market quotations
for American beef and pork.-New York

POVERTY AND ECONOMY.

Economy by the poor is practiced at
disadvantage, and eat and drink, for
tomorrow we may die, is often the
hopeless thought Of the very poor. The
recent advance in the necessities OF life,
beginning with beef and including al
most everything that goes on the table
of the poor, and add trifie to their
own comfort, is having a bad influence
outside of the mere money question. 1t
is creating feeling of discomfort and
sense of injustice, hence strikes are in
creasing in numbers and threaten for
midable proportions, as in the case OF
the coal miners. We get back to the
basis of conditions, and find that the
combinations to increase the prices of
the necessities of life encourage labor
discontent and breed strikes. This is
undoubtedly one of the functions of the
trust system.
The difficulties in the way of the very
poor practicing economy are not thor
oughly understood, but are set forth
with striking effect by writer in Aims
lees Magazine, which is in part an
argument for cooperation:
"Hopeless of improvement, they take
no thought of the morrow, and are
sometimes greater spendthrifts than the
very rich. But this is the poor mans
disease, and is remedied only by better
circumstances.
"They who can afford to live on big
scale pay less for necesssrles than the
i poor. 1t is one of the hardest aspects
Of poverty that it is only the rich who,
in some ways, can afford to be ecomical.
They pay less, very often, than the very
poor for the necessaries Of life. This is
strikingly true Of coal, for instance.
!, The dwellers in tenement houses have
no place to store a large quantity of
coal, even if they had enough money on
hand to buy it by the ton. So they are
forced to buy by the basket, at much
higher rate, thus paying from 40 to 60
cents for hundred pounds, while the
rich man, buying by the ton, pays only
s
from 20 to 25 cents hundred pounds.
The rent, too, of the very poor in the
tenement houses is, considering the &C.
commodations afforded, much higher
than the rent Of the well-to-do. And
the same principle applies to other
things. The dealings Of the people are
necessarily of such miserable character
that the rate paid is commonly enor.
nously high"
American economy, it is further OBJ.
served, is the economy that consists in
doing things on large scale; in pro-
ducing much rather than saving little.
The old system of economy, of picayune
retrenchment, is not national quality.
The mass of our people live better than
any others in the world. They have
better and more nourishing food, and
hence greater energy, which tells on
their productive forces. But still, the
poor we have always with US, and the
advance in the necessities of life, even
in what are known as good times, bears
heavily on them. Forty per cent. in.
crease in living within three or four
years, with the powers of economy ex.
hausted, is not cheerful outlook. The
trusts are power in creating such con
ditions.
