The Price of Peace.

If Russia is prepared to limit her de-
mands, to those she has formulated in
her different treaties with China, and
if she is willing to disarm Port Arthur
and VladivostofS.1 which can only men
ace Japan, she can have peace tomor-
row with the hearty concurrence of
Great Britain and the United States
If, on the other hand, her object is to
become the absolute and uncontrolled
mistress of the far East, and to secure
to herself and her traders a supreme
monopoly of Commerce, then she will
have not only Japan to reckon with, but
Great Britain and the United States.
In this particular problem the views Of
Germany are not a factor.-LOndOn

THE WORDS OF soBERNEss AND
TRUTH.


reverent people in st. Paul tender to
DR. Wright, the venerable rector of st.
Paurs, their thanks for his words Of
soberness and truth at a time when
the occupants of some pulpits had gone
very far astray. His rebuke to those
who would make the church a mere
appendage to the party committee is
calmly, judicially and admirably eX-
pressed. 1t is timely because it is the
cause of the church that has suffered
from the unhappy reflection cast by
recent pulpit performances in st. Paul.
All that relates to morals and con-
duct is the legitimate province Of the
pulpit. 1t is the right, nay it is the
duty of the clergyman to consider local
conditions and to call the attention Of
proving them. He is a force for civic
as we'll as for personal righteousness;
but the trif1ing incident of time and
place may change the whole purport
of his mission, and destroy both pub
lie confidence and any possible good
that might come from his own work.
There have been two years Of stead
lily improving conditions in the admin
istration of st. Paul. Within that pc
riod it has been open to clergymen as
we'll as others who believed that the
improvement might and should extend
still further to say so, to agitate, to
work for it. From any pulpit there
might have come a demand for any in
Dictated reform. But there was silence;
for the excellent reason that, as many
Republicans have remarked, three
months ago you could not have found
a man in the city who would not have
told you that St Paul is the most or
derby, the best governed city in the
country.
Suddenly there are pulpit eruptions
from two conspicuous sources, in the
heat and closing hours of a municipal
campaign, following the lead set by the
Republican party managers, and using
alleged information supplied under
their auspices. The inference is mani
fest, though the charitably disposed
will believe that the clergymen in
question were hoodwinked. But think
Of the effect upon congregations so
Inundated, upon the opinions Of the
scoffing outsider who sees the churches
dipping into politics, upon the devout
followers of the Master who see His
sacred ensign bound as a phylactery
upon the forehead Of the Pharisee
Not to any candidate or to any party,
but to the church is the injury done;
and it is fitting that the church should
rebuke it.
The words Of DR.. Wright, therefore,
voicing with even greater plainness
and emphasis those already uttered by
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Givler, are the
protest of a sacred and outraged cause.
All other times are open to the inves-
LEGATION and correction of evils and
abuses; but those who love the church
and respect her sacred offices will I'M
dertake the awakening Of the public
conscience at a time when the great
mass Of the people are not torn by
partisan feeling" The noble army Of
| church members and attendants in this
community are they who most fndig-
| nantly resent the forced conjunction,
by this ill-advised pulpit campaign
ing, between the party committee
| room, the secret concIave of political
| managers and the House of God.
