Christian Register.

There are many who claim the lead
ership In affairs OF the higher life of
the community, which they say has
been lost by the ministry of religion
College presidents affirm that the uni
versity has now taken the post OF IN
auence vacated by the church Editors
say that the press Is now the preacher,
and that henceforth the people must be
reached through the eye, and not BY
the ear, The poet, the novelist. the
dramatist, and the musician put forth
their claims TO the disputed succession.
But, it we admit everything adverse to
the church that can justly be urged.
and confess that there are false proph-
cts among us with ministers that are
falnt-hear,ed and preachers with feeble
knees, that the church is less efficient
than It ought to be, still the fact will
remain that nothing has taken the
place OF the church, because its mis-
sion Is unique and that, IL its work
Is not done as It ought TO be, tho OPP

AGAIN THE REAL CAUSE.

There was absolutely no other cause
for the antl-"Mormon" crusade than
the one stated by the "News"-the
failure OF ambitious aspirants for office

the Church to lend their ecclesiastical
influence to the furtherance OF their
ambition. That Ia the whole truth.

for the unjust and un-Amerlcan war

justification for II. II became necessary
to conceal this carefully and make the
most OF whatever could be utilized as
a plausible pretext for breaking pledges
and ushering In new era of hatred In

Such tactics are not unknown In the

had to edit and publish dispatch

suit to Germany and the old emperor,
did not trouble him In the least. A
little thing like that was not worth
while considering.
The tactics OF the anti "Mormons"
have been decidedly Blsmarckian I'm

have said ARE the reasons why we ask
the American people to come to the aid
OF the poor oppressed, law-ablding, pa
triotic, innocent and angelic anti
'Mormons.'"
These, we say, are the reasons they
have given TO the world for their I'M
American attitude, but they are mere
pretenses. The real cause is the fall
ure OF ambitious aspirants for ONCE

upheaval was that the political
rulers again came TO regard them
selves as ecclesiastical lords with d.
vine right 10 regulate the affairs OF
churches as well as states. Later
liberal ideas have tried to correct
this error but the contest Is still on
In various countries.
Mankind generally is slow to COM

have divine origin and sanction, each
with its own peculiar mission. We
speak Of the true church. In whatever
age or country 1t may have existed,
or does exist now Mankind Is slow
TO learn that one cannot form part

According to the revelations made tbs
other evening during the debate In the
| Clty Council on the recommendation OF
| Chief Sheets 10 refuse license to GER
| tain saloon, the Ministerial association
must have grown impatient at the fall
ure OF the Chief to live UP TO the ante
election promises. and made n demand
that the saloons be closed on Sundays.
The Chief must have promised reform.
Hence his recommendation that one
solitary temple of Bacchus be closed.
while the number OF those guilty Of vlo-
laticn Of law, like the number OF evil
spirits eager TO enter into the swine, is
legion.
Councilman Mulvey. who ought TO
know. claimed that the recommended
ton OF the chief was not In good
faith. The Ministerial association
ought to make note of this. Mr.. Null
vey, who ought to know. said there
are plenty OF places that are open on
Sunday and the police could Ind them
n they wanted to-" In other words
Councilman Mulyey intimated that the
Chief OF police Is only fooling the Minis
terlal association, pretending to enforce
the laws when pursued by those who re-
member the promises made before the
election This we can believe. II the
Chief Is sincere. why does he not
close every saloon on Sundays. as he
ought 20 do, and why does he permit
amusement houses 10 violate the law?
Why does he permit vice to spread
to the principal business streets OF the
city?
There Is no doubt that we have mis-
cradle police protection. Only a short
time ago a lady reported at headquar-
ters that she had been frightened near
ly 70 death by rufiian who had ac-
costed her on Fourth South street,
not a block from Main street. Since
then several cases OF a similar charac-
ter have occurred IN that locality. Il is
evident that some wretch haunts that
nesghborhood and perhaps other places,
but The police are either Indifferent, or
unable to hunt him down. This Is but
one instance, well authenticated. of
wretched police service. There are some
excellent men on the force. II they

come together and trampie both law

cannot but have had its effects upon

II has sometimes been said that
lynehiugs generally are due to the I'M
certainty Of legal processes, but as far
as the State OF Maryland Is concerned,
this apology for murder is without
foundation in fact. Persons in that
state convicted OF the unspeakable
crime are always sure TO be overtaken
by Justice There has never been any
cause for complaint even as to delay.
The Baltimore Sun points out that the
records OF the courts prove that they
have always done their duty There

murder by the mob. But the spirit Of
violence seems to be spreading, and

Some one who has kept statistics
on this gruesome subject claims that
about 1000 persons have been put to
death by mobs. without warrant OF
law in this country. within the last
twenty-five years. Ninety-fye per
cent Of the victims were negroes. The
methods OF killing included hanging
shooting, burning at the stake. and
even ilaying alive. Generally various
forms of tortures were INDUCED in.
Burning at the stake was drst re-

RICH GOLD DISCOVERY.
Re arkabie Vein found in Can
adian Northwest Territory

North Brattleford, N. w. T., Nov.
97.-Gold in what appears to be i'm.
mense quantities, has been discovered
at Birling, forty-two miles west of
here. The discovery was made by an
old prospector named Hughes, who
sent samples taken at random over a
square mile of territory to the assayine
office at Ottawa. The report came back
that his dirt has assayed $55 to a ton
a vein of'immense richness.
According to Hughes the vein ex.
tends for ten miles and is over a mile
wide. The rock lies about ten feel
below the surface. So thick is the
metal that yellow flakes sprinkled
through the rock can be seen with the
naked eye. Hughes says the find is
so rich that he expects to see 10000
prospectors in the valley within the next
twelve months.
This discovery of Hughes has led to
the belief that the Battleford district ia
very rich in gold.
