Tho Army of Religion.
INew York Sun.l


We receive letters which speak dis
respectfully and contemptuously Of
Christian Science and the organized
believers in IL. The sending of such
letters to the Sun Is useless. for we
shall not print them.
So also we receive letters ridiculing
all forms of religious belief and treat
ing Christianity as a childish supersti-
ton no more deserving of serious con-
sheraton than the fet!chism OF saw
agery. They do not discriminate be-
tween the churches, but put them all
together as representatives OF a sur
vival of belief in the myths and fables
OF the childhood OF the race. These
also go into the waste basket.
Letters come to US attacking the re-
number something like 100000 OF the
population OF New York, and seem
likely to increase in number until they
shall be as many as either OF the two
great divisions of Christians. at least.
OF those who are more than purely
nominal in their allegiance to Christi
anity. Tho time has passed when the
Jews could be set aside contemptuous-
ly as an insignificant part of the conf
munity. They have become one OF its
greatest social forces. New York is
already the jewish capital of the
world, so far as concerns the magni-
tude and the social and material influ-
ence OF that race. No assault can pre-
vent the destined prominence, II not
predoninance, of Jews in New York.
The schools and colleges are full OF
them. they are crowding into the
learned professions and in trade and
finance, everywhere they are getting
to the 'front.'
Christian Science IS one OF the re-
markable religious developments of
modern times. The religious emotion
expressed in Christianity is Of tremen-
dous consequence In the history of
mankind. The survival OF Judaism is
one OF the most momentous OF the pho
nomena in the history OF mankind. On

ANOTHER MINNEAPOLIS SPEECH.

ANOTHER MINNEAPOLIS SPEECH.
| Iowa's gifted governor was the Lin
coin day orator before the members of
the Flambeau Club in Minneapolis last
night. II is needless to say he was the
lion of the hour with his forward
march. progressive views on The tariff.
LATE Young's charge of free trader"
preferred daily for nearly a month
| past. caused the governor to reply in a
general way to such charges If there
| is any ground left for the charge to
stand upon only Lafe can find it, for,
as the governor says. the charge is as
baseless as "falsehood and malice COM
bined car make it,"
The Iowa orator pictured the coun-
try in the time of Lincoln, how 1t stood
before the world. vast undevelopei
region of fertile land. how it's govern
ment was looked upon everywhere as
an uncertain and assuredly temporary
experiment. Lincoln's leadership saved
the government and the policies OF
Lincoln's party subsequently did their
part in developing the industries of the
country. Reference was made to the
many different protective tariffs that
have been enacted by republicans
which have included large free lists
without the authors being called free
traders. Under the Dingiey bill nearly
half our imports come In free and yet
Dingley has not been called a free
trader The governor believes that 1t
would be better for the party to go be-
fore the people with n platform that
calls for conservative examination
of the tariff by congress to discover. IL
possible. schedules that are too high
and hence do not protect consumers
than 1t would stand on platform as
sorting that existing schedules are I'M
alterable and infailible.
Regarding reciprocity the governor
said that he had been a follower OF
Blaine in the days of that statesmans
greatness and had seen no occa sion TO
change his views since. He believes
that the time has come for this country
TO make reciprocal arrangements such
as Blaine made with South American
countries or lose our foreign markets,
and he does not care whether such ar
rangements are made in the form Of
treaties or maximum and minimum
tariffs. As to Canada the governor
said: Il am not in favor of free trade
with any country. do believe, how
lever. that. we should cultivate more
friendly relations with Canada ard the

The present unquestionabiy is
time of scepticism as to that religious
explana tion. Probably never in the
history of the world was there so much
intelligent doubt of 1t as there is now;
and 1t is not merely doubt OF any par
ticular religion. but of all rehgion-of
the very existence of personal God.

issues involved will be presented to the
