WAIKER AND THE CHURCH.

" =A AAA1Ab Hl~'lC AAAAS NAbN %Ns
 Much has been made, as there always is in such cases, of the fact that Walk CT the defaulter was prominent in the church. Perhaps there was a time when he wasealso good and honest in the church. But whether there was or rot the fact that he is a great big thief hasn't anything to do with the church except that it has given occasion to carpers to cGsp at the church. The plain truth is that the church didn't make Walker what he is. All its teach ings and all it's influence were and are directly and decidedly the other way, But he turned out to be tare among the wheat. Doubtless he now intensely wishes that he had been what he pre- tended to be, and whatthe cGlurch called on him to Instead of crlticising the church f, having had Walker in it, it is Walker who should be criticised for being in the church, where he knew he didn't belong. The church is the best institution in the world. and the most helpful one. And although it may occasionally and unwillingly harbor a Walker it is the home and the refuge of millions of good men and women who do not disgrace it. and who live and die by it's holy guidance.

THE PLUG HAT.
It's Glorious Past and its Assured Flu
 td1rn


 It's Glorious Past and its Assured Fu-
 ture.
 From our earliest infancy we are in grained with veneration for the plug hat. This shiny cylinder has ever been the badge of erudition. the livery of dignity, the imperious insignia of learning. The world owes a tremen- hous debt to the pariarchal beard, but It is doubtful If our obligations to whiskers equal that we owe to the plug hat, We are told that the tall hat was invented by the Spanish 1lqllisi- tion as an instrument of torture, and that later 1t was worn to designate the learned from the unlettered.
 With the origin of the plug hat, how ever, we have nothing to do. The fact that this institution is doomed to ex- tinction is cause for regret A French scientist with nothing more to do has discovered that the high hat is verl- table furnace. He experimented and found that when the thermometer was seventy-seyen in the street, inside the hat 1t was ninety, and when 1t was ninety outside 1t was one hundred and eight inside The effect of this intense heat upon the hair and mental ma- chinery Is disastrous, and 50 the Frenchman Is not only giving up his hat, but he is getting the academy whenever anything is done in Paris 1t is through some academy-he Is getting the hat academy place the ban upon tho plug hat.
 It will be sad day that sees the last of the plug hat. Tlo be sure its use is growing more limited as men become bolder in throwing off the shaekies of sartorlal convention. The plug hat is a decidedly uncomfortable article uf wear But 1t is picturesque. Who Is there but can remember with affection some ohi childhood character whose distinguishing mark was t battered plug hat that had survived the shocks and the wrecks of half hundred sea- sons? The plug hat is associated with the village doctor, the lean and sallow minister and the local undertaken. Perhaps the school teacher had one, too, and it Is certain that we can re- call distinctly the day that rather was elected to the legislature and was pre- scented with athat by his admlring friends. And there was the country at- torney who wore plug hat with a sack suit and tan shoes As youngs- tors we didn't know very much about the art of dressing, but we remember that our older sister said the country attorney was jay"
 It will be q long time before the plug hat becomes actually extinct, The plus hat is a thing that never wears out. It becmes tattered and generally disrepu- table, it is true, but this is a condition that seems to endear it that much more in the affections of the possessor. The plug hat has survived the warming pan and the snuff box. When al things else have succumbed to the tide of time the plug hat has held its owr on the heads of it's devotees 1t will be sorry day when it shall pass away. r Kansas City Journal.

IA CTS vERs Us 4 NOTION.

It is sometimes surprising to see how a true tale will put notion down. We suppose that most people have a mo- ton that Missouri is as full of negroes as she is of mules, But a discussion over the proposed segregation of me- groes in one of the branches of com mon carrier service in the State of Mis- souri has brought out some surprising facts concerning the negro population of that State. It seems that the ne- groes amount to only per cent. of the total population of the State and that more than 30 per cent. of them are natives of the State. According to the last national census Missouri had only 7SS more negroes than Pennsyl- vania. Illiteracy among them was re- duced between 1890 and 1900 from Ar per cent, to 1Se per cent. which is a highly creditable showing.
 So there is no immediate danger that the negroes will overrun Missouri Per haps there isn't that they will overrun any State, The increase of population among the southern negroes is relative ly small, and if the plans for southern immigration succeed, the whites will soon outnumber the blacks in every State of the Union. This is avowedly one of the main objects of the move ment.

BETTER THAN TURKEY.

We who live in this grand. rich and
 Christian country are given to thinking that much is wrong here. and perhaps
 this thinking is justified. But we can at least be thankful that we don't live in Turkey. An Interesting glimpse in-
 to the internal methods of Turkish ad- ministration is afforded by the account of the recent dispute between the Ger
 man ambassador in Constantinople and
 Fehim Pasha, chief of the secret police, general of division, and aide-de-camp of the Sultan. These responsible offices do not prevent the ambassador from denouneing Fehim as brigand and criminal. The origin of the quarrel
 was the Pasha's seizure of a cargo of
 wood bought by a German firm and about to be sent to Hamburg. The
 consul general wrote to the prefect of the harbor demanding that the wood should be returned to the agent of the
 firm, but received a reply that the pre- feet was powerless to do anything in
 the matter. An appeal was then made
 to the ambassador, who sent a drag oman with orders to take possession of the cargo. Fehlm's agents prevented the dragonan by force from carrying out his mission, whereupon the ambas- sador threatened to send an armed
 force, unless the stolen property were immediately handed over to it's owner
 This had the desired effect, and the cargo was duly delivered to the agent
 of the German firm. The next day the ambassador, Baron Marschall von Bic berstein, sent a note to the Porte, couched in the very strongest terms,
 demanding that Fehim be punished in l accordance with the articles of the 1 criminal code dealing with such of fences. As the punishment specified is loss of rank and either perpetual ban ishment or penal servitude for life, and as Fehim is one of the most powerful men in Constantinople, the ambassa-

The Dogs Again.
10 Editor of the Journal and Courier

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Will some one inform us as to the hue and cry about dogs which the Reg ister has agitated the entire winter? We have been informed by one sup posed to be good authority that not one mad dog has been seen in New Haven this season yet, though several hundred harmless animals have been (humanely) tortured to death. The city is now called upon to torture all that remain, cut off their heads and send to Prof. Conn that he may decide as to whether they have rabies. In case of a suspected animal this (nlinus the torture) may be advisable, but to need lessly destroy hundreds of inoffensive dogs, many of them household pets, Is not only unnecessary but unkind to those who love them, as well as foster ing a foolish and entirely uncaled for excitement. We would suggest that the human beings in our community who are suffering from this frenzy be mug zled, and if that prove ineffective, that decapitation be resorted to, No post mortem would be necessary to prove their condition.
