President Cleveland has a very poor
opinion of newspaper editors. He in
dulged in a regular old-fashioned scold
the other day, and if lie is reported cor
roctly, the fraternity deserv.e something
worse even than the halter. We forgive
him so far as we are concerned, but when
he runs again in IBSS he will take ir all

these big city dailies will make him wish
he hadn’t said it.
Miss Abagail Dodge, a cousin of Mrs.

many months ago, but she is a charming

The Present Congress.
The personnel of the Congressional
law-makers is a subject of interest al
ways. The present Congress has 324
seats, filled by representatives from every
■State and Territory in the Union
Wisconsin sends the youngest man and
Connecticut the oldest. There aie2Bs
lawyers in the House and Senate, and
but seven doctors. Farmers are so scarce
that they are hardly worth mentioning,
while there are seven newspaper Con
gressmen. The North keeps her best
men in office. The South makes such a
rule the exception, in most instances,
although there are a few Senators who
Irave been kept in conti. uous service
that do both themselves and their con

of Massachusetts, lias been in the House

Morrill, of Vermont, has served twelve
years in the House and eighteen in the
Senate. Senator Sherman has served
twenty-six years, and Judge Edmunds
twenty.

seventeen years, the only Southern Sena

the South had an interruption of four or

Who is Mad"
Wc do not like to see missionary matters take
an ab-nrd shape. The call through the Clmrcn
irumpeis for “one hundred and tifty mission
aries for China,” while the home treasury is
one hundred and fiftv thousand dollars on the
minus side, seems somehow quixotic and arith
metically farcical.—Bt, Louis Christian Advo
cate.
Who is sober? Men of faith or men of sight
onlyV Not quite so fast, dear brother of the St.
Louis Advocate. I>r. Allen and the Church
trumpets are uot move quixotic than the author
of the command to a few despised Gallileans to
‘•Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature.” If we be beside ourselves it is
umo God.—Wesleyan Advocate.
The St. Louis editor certainly can lay
claim to sobriety in his argument, and
the Wesleyan will be under the necessity
of farther explanation before it will
carry its point with sensible people who
love truth in our church policy, and who
respect facts rather than quixotic and
farcical schemes that are barren in re
sults. We are aware that the “hundred
and fift missionary” plan is now being
pressed on the Methodist Church in sea
son and outof season We are also aware
t -at personal antagonism is felt towards
those who are bold enough to question
its feasibility as well as its propriety,
bur there is too much extravagance on
one side and too much ri-k on the other
side of the subject to allow these enthu
siasts and undisputed “walk over,” in an
ecclesiastical body, where so many of us
have equal rights and should enjoy equal
privileges. The men who claim to dic
tate absolute measures to the church in
this-way should be able to give a better
reason for 150 China missionaries than
has yet been given, and unless there
should be more regard for debt paying,
and more liberality in home missions,
(which in our opinon have been impov
erished by quixotic and farcical leaders
in the church), there will be a serious
revolt in many places, and such a revolt
will overturn many theories, miscalled
orthodoxy, before the end is in sight.
So long as the Bible is the “man of our
counsel,” then we are in safe paths, but
human ideas and human declarations
are like their authors —fallible. ‘Thread
bare forms and far-fetched theology are
weakening in force every day. The
truth, the plain practical truth, is the de
mand of the hour. This life and its du
ties will always dominate dog
matism hereafter, and a system of foreign
missions, which is not worth a cent
when applied to heathens in America,
can never be called a success in China.
For instance: In New York city there
are six mission chapels for the Chinese
of that city. Besides these 'places of
worship there has been erected a taber
nacle for a re-union of all the mission
Sunday Schools belonging to the afore
said chapels. When the grand re-union
was eat tapis what did these Chinese con
certs do? The New York Sun says:
They sat up an image of Joss and lapsed
into the worship instituted by Confucius.
Now, will any sane man propose to ac
complish more by wav of instruction in
China than could be done by the pious
men and women of New York city,
• h re both parties were familiarly ac
quainted in business as well as in relig
ions avocations?
If failure was so signal under such fa
vo. ible auspices, and if precept and ex
ample should be so 'barren of results in
'ids country, why send 150 missionaries
o rhi-i juncture (at such an enormous ex
p > s *) to China, until the force has been
quadrupled at home or new plans and
methods are set on foot here that will
yield tangible results, which promise
real success?
Now. we are told, that the whole
church is to be steadily pressed to raise
a large foreign mission collection hv
rhe Ist of March, and a pledge was
exacted of every preacher in. the con
ference that he would forego every other
effort until this money was pulled into
trie treasury by every sort of’appeal or
pressure that can be applied. Do yon
not. agree with the ahlp Sr Louis editor
that “one hundred and fifty missionaries
for China when the home treasury is one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on
the minus side, seems somehow quixotic
and arithmetically farcical?”
We are reliably informed that the
head-lights in the Georgia conference
who exacted this extraordinary pledge
from all the preachers, are about to begin
a regular canvass of every circuit and
station to see that these preachers ‘‘toe
the mark.” Leaving out the regular col
lections of the church, the poor preacher
must quit everything else (even to the
privation of his own family and himself
at a season when nearly all churches are
strained to make them easy and comfort
able) to beg, coax and browbeat his
charge that the 150 missionary tourists
may be sure of an early start in the fall,
with a snug salary while the stay abroad
lasts. It may be a sort of fasting method
to mortify the flesh and to enforce the
duty of self-sacrifice, but unless such are
the o’ jects, this ecclesiastical exaction
and enforced contributions smack loudly
of the domineering spirit which aided
the collection of “Peter’s pence” in
former times. This tax, as our readers
know, was nominally collected from
Anglo Saxons to keep up a Popish school
in Rome, but which finally landed in the
Pipe’s pocket.
We are unwilling to believe that our
sober-minded preachers in the Georgia
conference will deliberately put aside
their legitimate work to “serve tables,”
afrer this fashion. These quixotic en
thusiasts (.who are used by more cunning
teachers) are perhaps unaware that the
money and influence of the church as
Doing thus diverted into “farcical experi
ments” —across-the ocean.
Our good Dr. Potter knows that the
“de-pised Gallileau” had a deal to say
about “paying debts” also. The gift at
the altar must be an honest gift or it is
In conclusion : Are all the energies of
the Methodist Church to be turned China
ward? Sr. Paul says: “God has set some
in the church as apostles, after that
miracles, then gifts of healing, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues,
etc;” bur In the year 1886, we are told
In in >dern instructors to quit everything
until the Ist of Mi*‘oh bit China mi
11111.*, to send 15!) a >re men and women
ove* there; to build another China Col-
lege, although the whole membership
should be crippled, and all this must be
done with an old debt of $150,000 staring
us in the face all the time.
Oli, ye blind guides!
A Republican Senator is saiil to have spoken
thu* of Present Cleveland in Washington a
a few days ago:
“Confound him, he has completely demoral
ized the Republicans in my State, and has broken
up our organization by retaining iu office some
of the most active politicians we have. Of
course they want to hang on as long as they can,
and have, therefore, been afraid to do anything
to help us lest they might be removed for offen
sive partisanship. Our State Committee sent out
letters to all of the men who have usually looked
after the canvass, most of whom are postmas
ters in the small towns, and of the seventeen
hundred persons to whom they were addressed,
only about six hundred replied, and some of
these merely stated that they were unable to
furnish the information desired, because their
entire time was required by their official duties.
We never received such an excuse before, and a
similar circular sent out a year previous to the
same men was responded to almost unanimously.
I wish the President would dismiss every blessed
Republican now bolding office in my State.
Then we would have five or six hundred more
active party workers than we have now ”

In Georgia the Federal appointments
have not been changed excep< m but few
instances, nd we are of the opinion that
there will be a noticeable lack of enthu
siasm in political circles in 1888. This is
the first time the Democrats have had a
showing at the public crib since the war,
and twenty years of waiting makes them
very hungry, while it is a genuine sur
prise io the Republicans th<tthey should
keep their offices as they are now doing.

President Cleveland confined his atten

preference for Mr. Bayard to rank and

mistake in this, for he holds office in a re
public, not in a monarchy, and it will
prove more popular to show fair and im

THE CARELESS LSE OF MORPHINE.
Hardly a day passes that we do not
see accounts of death, resulting from the
mistaking of quinine for morphine. The
most familiar drug w ith which the peo
have to deal is quinine. No drug is so
frequently given through mistake for
quinine as morphine. All their physical
appearances are very similar, weight
about the same, color identically alike
taste cannot be distinguished, as both
are intensely bitter. Indeed so great is
their similarity in looks that -lie most as
tute ehemis could not look upon the two
drugs and distinguish one from the oth
er. So frequent have cases of poisoning
occurred by administering morphine for
quinine, that the State of Georgia has
made it a law requiring all dealers in mor
phine to place upon each bottie or pack
age a red label with the word “mor
phine” printed in w r hite letters.
Now this, to some extent, is precau
tion, but not absolutely so. Labels are
frequently removed, and subjected to
various conditions that would render
them unreliable. What the people want
is a simple and reliable test showing the
difference in these articles; and the ob
ject in writing this article is to give that
test. If you are not absolutely sure of
your drug, put a quantity in a little clear
water. If the solution presents a cloudy,
milky appearance, not whollv dissolved,
you may be satisfied it is quinine. On
the other hand, if upon the addition of a
few grains of the powder to a quantity
of water, say half ounce or ail ounce,
and the solution becomes clear and trans
parent, you may be sure the drug em
ployed is morphine. Now these are tests
any one can make, andwdien these is the
slightest doubt, should be resorted to.
Very respectfully,
David W. Curry.

Buying Provisions on Time.
Editors Courant —As I said in a pre
vious communication, our present home
stead laws are an encouragement to ex
tortion. Those who sell on time, know
ing the uncertainty of our collection
laws, feel obliged to put enough per
centage on their goods to save themselves
from probable loss, and thus the burden
falls on the honest and conscientious man
who is willing to pay his debts, and
whose necessities compel him to buy at
these ruinous rates. It is proper to pro
tect the creditor, but it should be done
under proper and just and equitable
laws.
The buyer is also encouraged to do
wrong, by shirking his debt, under the
protection of the present unfair laws.
He decides that he is much poorer than
the man he owes, that his debt will crip
ple him far more than rbe man who ad
vanced to him, am M n the p> eh
comes he avoids pa> •• "> r *f he ea-i af
ford to sacrifice mor 1 chat •for by re
sisting payment. Tt * ; e defective laws
not only impoverish the poor man but
they foster dishonesty and open a way
for the tempter. They not only im
peril his moral character by such ille
gal resistance, but they fatally impair his
credit, so that a present gain makes a fu
ture loss in more senses than one,
There should be sufficient statesman
ship in the country to regulate this mat
ter more equally for both the creditor
and debtor. Far better to do away with
all homestead laws, permitting every
creditor to make his money, than to en
tail such a curse upon future generations
after the poor hard worked men of the
present are in their graves.

THREE LEADERS OF THE HOUSE.
From the New York Sun.]
Washington, Dec. 2S.— Speaker Ca: -
lisle is putting the finishing touches on
the committee lists. The men who hav
advised and assisted him in the work,
and tttiD possess- Ids confidence moo
closely than any other two members o
th ■ an M ri-oi, of Illinois, an*)
Willi-, f K * in k, I ifeUee.'ii dly M
Ca ills to is g>* ‘b*r than eirinr ot hi
friends, and so mr a- sound judgment
and \vi-e di-cre 1 in g *, he is safer to in
trust with airhoj-itv than either. Mr.
Carlisle is modest, however, almost
ro (liffi fence, and naturally seeks some
h* dy to Jean upon. There must be some
thing in the law of opposites, or he would
not have taken in Morrison.
Mr Carlisle is patient, courteous and
conservative; Morris m is impatient,
brusque and radical. Carlisle entertains
no hostile thought towards men ud.
views clash with and own; Morris >n
treats his opponents as Apaches, and
would exterminate them on sight. Car
lisle takes broad views on public ques
tions; Morrison sees but the one idea
that has lodgement in his own min i.
Carlisle often hesitates between opin
ions; Morrison never has but one. Yet
the positive, confident, dogmatic Illinois
man exerts wonderful influence over the
accomplished Speaker.
Morrison is in his 61st year, I ut looks
easily ten years younger His dark hair
and close cropped beard have only begun
to show a silver tinge, and his frame is
tough, wiry and elastic.
Carlisle is ten years Morrison’s junior,
but no one would ever think of it. He
is tall, slender and smooth-shaven. His
straggling brown hair is very thin, and
he wil soon be conspicuously bald.
Mr. Willis is the youngest of the trio
by several years. Morrison is his senior
by eighteen years, and he is eight years
younger than Carlisle. He is small and
slight iu stature, with a shiny bald head
and a close-trimmed brown beard, sprin
kled with gray. In his quiet manners,
courteous and modest demeanor he re
sembles Carlisle, and the two men are
much alike in mental habits and political
thinking. Bath men were school teach
ers iu their younger days. Neither is a
college graduate, but both are men of
more scholarly' tastes than Morrison, who
c ues li! ie for books. Willis is a grow
ing mo in the House. His assignment
to the ‘Chairmanship of the Riverain!
Hart or Committee put him in a place
where his fairness and integrity stood the
test of criticism, it was not in a posi
tion in which a Representative could
make an enduring reputation.
