UNITAR1AN1sM NOT IN POLITICS
Christian Register.

ID. =. + . : b. Z y
Unitarians in America have never
acquired the habit of voting for a
candidate because he was Unitarian or
of voting against a man because he
was a Roman Catholic. or a Methods
list. But, il they were inclined to
carry their UNCONVENTIONAL interests
into politics, they would be restrained
by the saving grace of common sense.
They remember the sad fate of Mr..
Burchard. the honest gentleman who
by the ALTERATION of the three RS
rum, Romanism. ana rebellion, was
charged with defeating Mr., Blaine, the
candidate whom he supported. Any
public man who in his private capac-
ity is a loyal Unitarian has the right
to let his denominational preferences
drop out or sight when he becomes
a candidate for Office: and he is Meth
CT a, consistent Unitarian nor a wise
supporter of such Il candidate who
challenges the vast majority who are
not lovers of Unitarianism to make it
an issue at the DOllS.

JAPAN,s FINANCES.

K Perhaps the most important inter
national news item of the week was
the announcement of the modification
of the Japanese naval program.
A drastic cut has been made in the.
military and naval outlay. and the
much heralded plan of adding to the.
already burdensome war taxes By the
building Of numerous war vessels,
etc, has collapsed. The reduction In.
the proposed expenditures for the next
half a dozen years amounts to S100,O00,-
600, of which three-fourths is taken
from the estimates for army and navy
Tho Japanese national expenses have
grown rapidly in recent years, those
for army and navy since the Eastern
war, amounting to $45,00O,000 more per
year than was spent in the year pre-
ceding the war. The annual interest on
the public debt is S6o,000O00 greater
than ever before. To meet this ex-
pense, heavy taxes have been rcsorted
to; and it was proposed to Increase the
indebtedness for the purpose of making
still greater expenditures upon the
army and navy. The radical change of
