QUESTION OF SPONSORS.

At 81. PetcrshurE, the selection Of
King Edward and Emperor William as
godfathers or sponsors, for the new
czarevitch Is interpreted as happy
omen FOR the future" II Is thought
that the future relations between the
three countries WIN be influenced
thereby. That. then, is the motive nm.
deriving the Cars choice Of sponsors.
He hopes to make political capital even
out OF the rite Of baptism. SO lar has
the Chrissan world strayed from the
fundamental principles OF Christianity,
TO the world outside OF Russia the
selection must appear strikinsly alb
surd. The czareyitch, by baptism. ac-
ccpts the faith OF the Greek church, or
rather, the sponsors accept that faith
Tor him. The duty OF the sponsors
Is TO see TO II that his spiritual educa-
ton is not neglected, but that he, as he
grows older. Is given clear UNDER
standing of the covenants they have
entered into for him, Now, is II not
extremely absurd to charge two Prot.
es,ant princes. one a Lutheran and the
other a member OF the Church OF
England, with the duty Of seeing that
a Russian infant Is educated IN the
Greek Catholic faith, which TO both
sponsors, If they arc honest In their
convictions, must be soul-destroying
hercsy? II the reformers OF England
and Germany were correct, Catholi-
csm. In both It's branches, is
hcrosy dangerous and damn
able. How then can Protest
ant dlgnltaries. at the sacred baptismal
font, enter into covenant by which
they accept, for another, as the true
faith, such heresy2 Truly, religion has
become a farce IN high places. They
seem 20 think they can put It on, or
lay It on, at will, 1t Is no more 10
them than a fools cloak.
The necessity OF having sponsors in
the case of infant baptism, forms one
OF the objections OF rertullian TO that
rite, which in his time commenced to
he a menace to the church, For why
Is II necessary" he asks In his treatise
on baptism, that the sponsors like
wise should be thrust into danger who
both themselves by reason Of mortality
may fail to fulhll their promises, and
may also be disappointed by the de-
velopment fin the infantl Of an evil
Disposition" Tertullan realized the
danger of sponsors not being able to
ulnll their promises. and evidently re-
gardcd that innovation as mockery'
And yet, in his time no one had thought
that sponsors would solemnly guann-
tee that child be educated in a re-
llglon which they themselves reject.

SMOKE AND TREES.

How smoke blights was the subject OF
an address delivered some time ago be-
fore the congress OF the Sanitary In
gtitute at Glasgow, by Lord Byths-
wood, He related personal cxperl-
ence. Living within seven miles OF
Glasgow, he said he had been able TO
observe the effect Of the smoke upon
the trees ana the fruit When he was
boy hc remembered that any amount
OF apricots and greengages were grown
on the wall trees IN the gardens. Tho
trees We're still there, but for years
there had not been such thing as
fruit, There had been as much care
given 10 the trees. but in the valley
Of the clyde, he said, the smoke had
blotted 0ut the vyitying rays Of the
sun, 4 I'd the consequence was that so
far as the finer grades OF the fruit We're
concerned they were absolutely ex-
tinct. The question is one of impor-

In the west though he seemingly con-

The Butte Inter- Mountain has this
to say;
Good citizens deprecate any inter-
ference by the church In political af-
fairs Good church people, with bet
ter reason are opposed to interest by
politicians In church affairs. How lit
tie Of sincerity and honest purpose at
taches to political influences IN poli-
ties Is evidenced by the fact that In
regard to Mormonism I'm states where
Mormonsm is recognized as a factor,
the attitude OF the parties has been
almost completely reversed. Mormon
ism, with polygamy as the center fig
ure, was established and thrlyed in
Utah with Democratic acquiescence,
not to say encouragement. and in
spite Of open opposition by Republic
cans. To-day In Idaho the Democracy
by its recognized leadership is pre-
pared to make am issue OF polygamy,
and In Utah Senator Smoot, proml-
nent as Mormon but not as q poly
gamist Is easily the most influential
Republican leader.
1T Is all for buncombe. Polygamy
Is no longer a live issue, even between
Mormons I'm Utah. But
meanwhile Senator Dubois In Idaho
appeals TO the almost universal pre-
JUDGE against polygamy, just as tho
political opponents Of Smoot IN Utah
have done and are doing, II would
be quite as reasonable and nearly as
timely for political convention In

In short he has reached the Mr. Hyde

nothing he does Is entitled to any mans

stuff as soon az the tragedy occurred.
Had the cartoons been true, and legitl-
mate, there would have been no need OF
dropping them with the suddenness OF
a pckpocket throwing away the stolen
goods when detected. II IL sometimes
urged that striking pictures are more
potent than words In the service OF

are cartoons which are legitimate, but
very few belong to that class A.

Springfield Republican.

THIS story Of the extensive naturaliza-
ton trauus the past year exposes an
outrageous and scandaious condition OF
atairs. IL Is not claimed that all OF

pers were issued IN New York, Yet 30,-
700 were scattered around In that city
among Immigrants who had no right to

what was offered for sale, Many peo-
pie are uneasy over the stream of inn

tirey reassuring. To have these new

ship, with the voting privilege, before
