VERY ENCOURAGING,

1t is a very encouraging indication
to see how some of the Southern jour
nails are ripping up the windy blather-
sixties who are constantly making that
section ridiculous and uninf1uential by
their eXtravagant rawlings. The Balti-
more Sun fairly tears the hide off from
German, son of the late Senator Cor
man, about some OF his nonsense, and
concludes. thus: 1t is a fine thing to
be leader, if enc only knows how. ;
II cannot pass on the character of
Northern audiences, but I say that lee
ture lyceums and chautauquas are not
supported by ignorant people, nor poor
people, and when | see so many types

SAYS 1OLSTOI.

Tclstol says: Religion is truth and
goodness. the church falsehood and
evil. tell you frankly can not agree
With those who believe the church
is an organization indispensable for
religion. The church has ever been a
cruel and lying institution which in
seeking; for temporal advantages has
perverted and distorted the true Chris
tian doctrine. Christianity has ever
been simply pretext for the church.
The foregoing is simply on par
with many other absurdities given ut.
terance to by this very foolish old crea-
ture. Yet, for some unimaginable rea-
son, there are people who greatly ad-

MANY BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES.

An English writer, in comparing
trades unions in America and England.
points out that the one feature over
here of marked dissimilarity to home
unions is the lack of benefcence. The
sick benefits, burial funds and pension
fund that are leading features of Eng
lish trades unions are lacking in the
United States
There is an important exception to
the foregoing statement from the Chi
cagO Journal, which that paper does
not mention. 1t is this: Among the
fro-Americans there exist several ma
tional organizations: the Masons. Odd
Fellows, Brothers Of Friendship, the
Knights of Pythias and others. In all
of these the benefcences are the most
prominent feature and they are doing
a. vast amount of good. For instance,
in one state the female order of the
Eastern Star last year dispensed over
$4,000 in beneficences In some 9TH
er states, more still, in the same d.
rection was done. Directly after re-
construction times one could scarcely
traverse the streets of Southern city
without meeting someone with a sub
scription paper, who was begging a
little money to bury Uncle Tony or
Aunt Dilsey who had died the night
before. This practice has disappeared;
for everybody belongs to some society
and the society foots the bill.
