The Pew on the Pulpit.

1t is pleasing to observe the an
nouncement that in Chicago a gospel

and that in the future weekly reports
upon the sermon output in that me-
tropolis viii be dealt out TO a waiting
and expectant world.
As we understand the plan, COM
mittee of five from Whitman Center
and what relation that has with
Bird Center we wot not-is 10 make
visits 10 the city churches. listen to
the sermons delivered and then sub
ject them TO quantitatiye and quail
tative analysis. It looks good TO us,
and we find a difficulty in restraining
our curiosity to see the first of the
reports.
The truth is that the pulpit has
been too long in the enjoyment of
the right 10 talk, without the rest of
us having the correlative right to
talk back. We have been informed
our habits and morals are cut on the
bias, until we are beginning TO be-
lieye this must be so. Very possibly
it is so. But won't the quotations on
poetical justice take a jump when
the Whitman Center experts begin
to tell what the pew thinks OF the
pulpit?
We are not going to be irreverent
about this matter, nor lacking in re-
spect- We want the pulpit to have
an absolutely fair show and we are
confident the Whitman Center court
OF last resort will make a decision
approved Of precedent, warranted by
statute, and sweetened with just the
right proportion OF mercy.
Therefore, we wait.

What the South Wants.

Much thought and printers ink

question of immigration to the South

ments, pro ana con, and-to steal an
idea from Mr. Dooley-a good many
''con arguments"
.Well-wishers Of the South, and Ger
tainly Southerners themselves, viii
not care for that indiscriminate i'm
migration Of the criminal and litter
ate, which finds favor in the eyes
of railroad magnates and great manu-
facturers. These gentlemen are in
terested in immediate results. They
want laborers who will delve cheap
~. whether in rights of way, that
steel rails may connect communities,
or in sterile fields, that agriculture
may contribute its quota to their
freights. In the great factories they
control they desire cheap labor

No special concern for the ultimate

This appointment OF new Public
Printer" said r. VI. Ashley. Of Chicago,
at the New willard. reminds me OF a
good story with which ex-Pubiic Printer
Frank W. Palmer was connected.
Palmer was a protege of Columbus
Delano. Secretary OF the Interior under
Grant. Delano was the victim OF some
rascals in the General Land Office. and
Grant had to ask the old mans resigna-
ton.
"Delano knew the dismissal was COM
ing, but he determined that he would
never know OF it. He had been spending
the summer at his home near Mt Yer
non, Ohio. and one day got letter post
marked Long Branch, where Grant was
staying. Delano knew the letter was
from Grant. and did not open IL DE
telegraphed Palmer to meet him at the
Neil House, Columbus. and when they
got in the room Delano handed Palmer
The letter from Grant, saying:
Read that; don't let me know what
1t says ! viii go out OF the room, and
when 1 return you tell me what I, had
better do.
"Delano paced u and down the hall a
few minutes. When he returned TO the
room Palmer remarked that II must be
mighty nice up In the country ana
much better than life in Washington.
That was enough. Delano sent his
resignation on to Grant. and TO his dy-
ing day Delano was able to say that he
never saw any request from Grant for
his resignation"
