The outentno of the Rtuptd and innllc-

Bpccchlficijibedded among IhO foundation
rockn upon which the whole siiporrtlrtic-
lure , of thN republic is pupported. The
right of any man to defend his reputa
tion when unwilled ill a public place If
IM wiered an the right to life and liberty.
And these privileges and rights oui
courts miiHt uphold whenever they are
denied or abridged.
No organl/ation or noclety that necks
to promote political reforms can outer
the domain of public dinciiMlon hedged
in by the laws that uro framed for the
protection of religious worship from In
trusion or disturbance. Helen CJougar
was hired by the Htato prohibition com
mittee to deliver a number of temper
ance lectures In Nebraska. The object
of these lectures was political. She ad
dressed herself alike to men of all creeds
and no creed. Her lectures were simply
campaign speeches , and worn BO adver
tised. Attention was called by posters
and papers to bur oll'ectlvo work as a po
litical agitator in the woman's Hiiffrago
campaign. She npoko in the Tekamah
rink , which is certainly not dedicated to
religions worship. t
Under such conditions the lecturer , bo
it man or woman , was amendable to or
dinary political usages. If a campaign
speaker anywhere singles out any indi
vidual , however obscure or prominent ,
mill charges him with disreputable or
criminal conduct , that person is always
privileged to demand that the speaker
produce his authority for Mich charges.
Helen Cougar went out of her way to
publicly retail and repeal a vile slander
for which she had no proof or justifica
tion. And it was thuguilty consciousness
of this fact that made her shout : "Rose-
water can't speak In this meeting ! " Had
nho been able to sustain her charge she
would have challenged any question that
could bo asked. Had bho been an hon
orable campaigner she would have ad
mitted that her charge was based on
mere here-jay. But Helen Gougar is not
built that way. She had uttered a
calumny and she was determined to gag
and choke oil' the man who had tlio
temerity to face her.
In this outrageous conduct she was
supported by the misguided prohibi-
tionints of Tekamah. Not only did they
create a most disgraceful disturbance
but as was testified to by their most act
ive swashbuckler , Dr. Pierce , several
of their most zealous crusader.s , notably
Judge Wade Gillis , had actually used
profane epithets in an assembly which
they all claimed to have been a religious
meeting.
It was of course the privilege of this
band of fanatics to pass a vote of censure
upon tlio editor of Tin- : HUE , just as
they have censured the district judge.
Hut they did not stop with
resolutions of censure. They took it
into their heads to make an example of
the editor of THE Bui : by a criminal
prosecution. They had his name promi
nently inserted in the criminal docket
of Hurt county and sought to cast a
stigma upon him by associating his
name with forgers , burglars and com
mon thieves. "With tlio assistance of a
sap-headed county attorney they sought
to carry to its full length their scheme
of persecution by piling up costs through
witnesses subpoenaed from all parts of
the state.
But when the crucial test came they
utterly failed to show that the society
under whoso auspices Helen Gougar had
delivered her abusive harangue was a
religious society , and the prosecution
fell to the ground. But even if the W ,
C. T. U. was a religions society their
charge of disturbing n religious meet
ing could not have boon sustained. Any
number of precedents would have been
cited from supreme court deeir-ions to
show that unless there was a meeting for
worship or a mooting to arrange for
religious exercises the law for the pro
tection of religious societies did not

The senate comlnittee whicli investi
gated the relations of tlio railroads of
the United States'and Canada lias com
pleted its report. From the brief refer
ence to some of its conclusions conveyed
by telegraph it presents a strong state
ment of Canadian discrimination , which
may bo expected to lead to the proposal
of decisive legislation looking to a re
moval of the dillleultiescomplained of. It
represents that there is unjust dis
crimination against American vessels
passing through the Wollumt canal
to American ports , which it is
held is a violation of the treaty of Wash
ington. This is an old complaint which
has many times been presented to tlio
attention of the government , but ,
although efforts have been made to cor
rect the injustice they have not boon
successful , or only temporarily so. The
report assorts that for many years our
competitor on the north bus been ex
ploiting upon American commerce and
Is doing so now on a more high-handed
and extensive scale than over before. It
is evident from tlie tone of extracts from
the report that the committee is pre
pared to recommend radical legislation
for checking the competition of t'ana-
dlan railroads and vessels with those of
the United Stntos.
The factt , elicited by the investigation
certainly showed that the advantages
enjoyed by the railroads of Canada in
their competition with tlio roads of this
country , being practically free from all
the restrictions imposed upon our roads ,
the alien corporations were turning
to the best po.sslblo account , nec
essarily to the loss of the
American lines. 15ut it was shown
on the ether hand that this resulted In
very material benefit to a largo number
of our own people , who consequently
were found to bo strongly opposed to tiny
Interference witli the I'nmullun competi
tion. Tlio people of tlio northwest imd
of Now Knghind were in full accord in
declaring that this competition was most
essential to their mutual interests , and
thai Its destruction would result in
forcing thorn to pay a largo and
unjust tribute to American lines
In greatly increased charges
for transportation , besides thu
damage to their business from re
ducing the outlets for their products.
The sentiment In both sections was most
pronounced against the proposition that
there should bo any legislation to pro
tect American roada against the compe
tition of the ( 'aifadtan corporations ,
The oxiwdiency of requiring the alien
roads doing business In this country to
conform to the provisions of the Inter
state commerce law so far as that
can bo miulu applicable was ad
mitted , but there w.is strenuous op
position to the proposal of any now
legislation Intended to cut , off Canadian
competition.
There is no reason to suppose that thic
sentiment has undergone any change ,
and if the senate committee shall recom
mend legislation of the character to be
expected from the tone of its report so
far an made public , it will hardly fail to
encounter the vigorous hostility of New
England and northwestern interests.
The people of those sections uro con-
llrmed in the belief that they cannot
without Buttering great loss have
their business placed wholly at
the mercy of the American railroads ,
and no considerations of patriotism are
likely to dissuade them from this prac
tical view of tlio situation. Neverthe
less , some legislation in restraint of
Canadian competition is highly proba
ble. The matter Is one of very great
importance in its bearing upon the in
terests and welfare of millions of our
people , as well as upon the prosperity of
important railroad interests , and also in
the Influence it may have upon our fut
ure commercial relations with Canada.

The silver question appears to bo at
last in a fair way of settlement. The
joint committee of llio senate and house
have readied an agreement which it is
probable will bo approved by a majority
of both houses , and in that case very
likely by the administration. This was
brought about by a concession to the
senate demand regarding the redemp
tion of the notes to bj issued against sil
ver bullion. Tlio issue between the
committees of tlio two houses
was whether the notes should
bo redeemed in silver , either
bullion or coined dollars , or at the option
of the government in gold , as provided
for in the house bill , or redeemed in law
ful money , either gold , silver or legal
tender notes , as contemplated in the
senate bill.
The agreement reached is that the
silver bullion notes shall be redeemable
on demand in lawful money , and when so
redeemed nny bo reissued , "but no
greater or le.ss amount of such notes shall
1)0 outstanding at any time than
the cost of the silver bullion then ,
hold in the treasury purchased
by such notes. ' ' Assuming this
to bo correctly reported , it is evidently
intended to maintain as far as practica
ble a constant equality between the
amount of bullion on deposit and its
paper representative in circulation.
Thus if at any time the redemption of
certificates should reduce the amount
below the cost of the bullion they repre
sented an equalization would bo reestablished
lished by the roi.ssuo of the certilicates ,
while on the other hand a decline in tlio
deposit of bullion would require
a withdrawal of certificates from
circulation. There would of eour.-o
bo times when cither of those conditions"
might happen , and it is obiously im
portant that there should bo maintained ,
as nearly as possible , an equality in the
amount of the outstanding noto.s and the
cost of the bullion represented by them.
It is also provided that the secretary of
the treasury may refuse to receive bullion
if in his discretion it would nppe-ir un
wise to do so , the object of this being to
prevent the withdrawal of silver for
purely speculative purposes. The bull
ion notes are to bo receivable for cus
toms , taxes and all public dues , but
not as legal tender , though practically
they would have this quality for all or
dinary transactions.
As the secretary of the treasury is re
quired to coin such portion of the silver
bullion purchased , as nny bj necessary
to provide for the redemption of tlio
treasury notes issued for such purchase ,
the agreement is regarded as a victory
for free coinage , although it appears
some of the advocates of that policy dfl *
not deem it so , and those are likely to
continue to tight for frcu coinage , how
ever unwise and hopjless such a strug
gle may be. Oth"r objection to tlio
agreement is that it does not provldofor
making the bullion certificates a legal
tender , but if they are nrule redeem iblo
in lawful money the nbsenoo of a spscilie
legal lender quality will not bo found a
serious detriment. There seemed a
sti-ong probability a few days ago that
the difference between the two houses
might result in defeating all ofiorts to
secure silver legislation at the present
session , but this agreement graatly im
proves the situation and warrants the
liope that this subject may 1)3 spaedily
disposed of.
KVKHY .senatorial campaign in tlio
western states has boon more or loss in-
lluenced by the corporations. They have
invaded conventions , forced the nomina
tion of pliant candidates , .supplied liberal
bundles of the sinuwr. of war , and mala-
lained a horde of lobbyists during legis
lative sessions. But it remained for tlio
young and guileless slate of North D.i-
jota to furnish the exact v.iluo of a
seiiatoi > hlp to the railroads , and the
[ irlco they were willing to pay for a rop-
osontatlvo in the hoiiso of lords. The
report of the bribery Investigating com
mittee of the legislature , just
given to the public , is a rovola-
Llon. Tills Interesting olllclal history
shows that the two leading corporations
of the state had decided to divide tlio
two senatoi'Bhips. Whether the North
ern I'aclllc secured Its man is not known.
The Manitoba , however , did not have a
walkaway. The republican caucus nominated
"
inated Pierce w ithout" opposition , and
ifter a lo.g : struggle awarded the second
[ irl/o to Maurice N. Johnston. Accord-
.ng to the testimony , Johnston was llr t
offered a consulship to withdraw from
.ho race. Then a cash consideration of
; en thousand dollars for himself and fif
teen thousand dollars for his followers
was tendered and declined. The re-
ectlon of this very liberal oTor uu-
'ored the corporation forces , and
.hoy decided to defeat him at any cost.
Johnston swears that the political utter-
loy of the company , W. K. Dodge , while
n-lvately assuring him of wight votes ,
leelured publicly that "ihs Manitoba
gad could not alford to let mo go to the
I'nited States senate If It co-tt tlio com. '
piny one hundrjjd liousuirW dollars. '

I.v view of tlie'elomenls controlling
the political de tlntei of Now York , the
country will bo sui-prlscd to learn Unit a
measure of doubtful election reform re
ceived the approval of Governor Hill.
The "corrupt practices" act , which If
now a law , requires that every candi
date who is voted for at any public elec
tion in the state shall tile , within ten
days' after the election , a detailed item-
l/.ed statement of all moneys expended
by him , directly or indirectly , in aid of
his election. He is also required to
slate under oath the specific pur-
po < o for which the money was used
mid the names of tlio per.-ons
receiving It. The law is modeled after
the system in vogue in Hngland , which
has been the moans of diminishing the
abuses of the election system in that
country. It is scarcely possible that the
law will materially purify the political
atmosphere in Now York. The men who
use money for other than legitimate elec
tion expenses will not scruple to pile up
false statements and add perjury to their
crimes. The law , with its severe penal-
tics , does not strike the root of the evils
in the Empire .state. As long as the
voters are denied a secret ballot the
power of the bosses remains undisturbed.
OXK fact is clearly established : That
prohibition agitators cannot masquerade
under tlio cloak of religion to slander
those who differ with them.

His Menial and .Moral Gain Increased
l y Co-Operation.
At the IVople's church recently
Dr. Thomas laid , down the principle
that the natural right of every man
to bclfsunport was another way of stat
ing his only not to bo a , burden upon
other * , so that individualism necessarily
involved altruism , says the Chicago
Tribune. The greatest gains socially ,
mentally and morally has been attained
by co-operation. "When one looks back
over the long and sad history of the
race , " said Dr. Thoma.s , "one seen how
much unnecessary , sutlcring. slavery ,
cruelly and oppression there have been
simply from tlio failure to observe the
law of reciprocity. This last social
order is far from being perfect. Lofty
ideas Moat around us but they are un-
reiili/fd. AVlien we see the fabulous
wealth of the few and the
pitiful poverty of the many ; the
ignorance , the intemperance , the un
natural and the unnecessary sintering ,
we cannot but feel that oven the nine
teenth century ban not reached perfec
tion. In all ages thoughtful minds and
tender hearts have expended their high
est endeavor to devise a remedy. K\cry
day the world is becoming more and
more philanthropic Unit is lovingman-
kind. °
kind.Dr.
Dr. Thomas then gave a sketch of the
young skeptic , so called , of the eigh
teenth century who wrote "Volnoy's
Uuins. " lie told how the genius in the
vision had replied to tlu young I'Yonch-
inan's query as to why the great civili-
/alions of tlie past were but mere ruins ,
"ignorance and Cupidity. " Then in the
vision the seer had seen the people sepa
rate themselves into two clashes the
useful jind the useless. On the one hide
the laborers , the mechanics , the mer
chants , the business men , the urtiststho
many ; on tiiootner , priests , menus , tno
royalty , the aristocracy , the few , who
made their wealth by governing the
many. ' 'Wo are mediators , " said they.
"liitt your mediation is too expen
sive'said the people. "Wo do all the
work and you share in the prollts. " '
"All is lost , " lamented the few. "Tho
people have become Intelligent. "
"All IB saved , ' ' rejoined the many.
"Tlie people have become intelligent' "
Dr. Thomas then reviewed the relig
ions purl of "Volnoy's ituins" until he
camo'to the last words , "Live for thy
self , moderate thyself , and live for thy
fellow-citi/ens that they may ll\o for
thee. ' '
The progress of flerman socialism
from the feeble beginnings of ] Sf ( ( ! , when
there were but 1,001) ) of thorn , proscribed
and oppressed by Uisinarck and the
German Empire , until in the last elec
tion they voted nearly a million. "There
are other shapings of this movement in
Mtissia , in France , In Hngland and In our
own country , " said the speaker. "Chris
tianity must look on this movement with
a friendly eye , though it is not without
its extravagances and its errors. If in
the past Christianity had not given too
great cause for the suspicion that it had
lent Itself to the ends of royalty and op-
iirossion , and had been known as the
friend of truth , of reason , of liberty , of
man , the helper of the needy , how the
heart of the people would have gene out
to it ! Vet tills was the mind that was
in Clirist .lesiis. What the world needs
is anew heart which will regard such
questions as the carpenters' strike from
the moral standpoint. Let us bo willing
to hibor for each other , to help each
ether , to look at other men's all'ali-s , and
to have in us tlio mind that was in
Christ Jesus. ' '
Needed Political Kcl'orms ,
The civil service , with most beneficial
result , is doing its work in the adminis
trative branches of the government. In
onr representation wo must silence the
howl of the claims of locality , says
Chauncoy Dopow in his "After Dinner
Speeches. " Then when u man 1msshown
exceptional ability , patriotism and Use
fulness , if he falls in ono district , his
party can return him from another ; thus
all his time and talents will be given to
the republic ; thus will the honor become
so great that its possessor , without for
tune or other means than his salary ,
will occupy the foremost place among
his follows ; thus will wo escape the
danger of having public service lllled by
tho.si' who are simply fourth-rate attor
neys or mutton-headed millionaires.
And I trust also that in the politics of
the futuru some voice will bo given to
our wives , our sifters and our daughters.
An activeand intelligent Interest on thcii *
part in the vital nuestionsof the day w ill
give to the politics of the future that
purity and higher tone nndearnestnc'jisby
which the loftiest patriotism and the

"The Ideal Newspaper" wastliethemo
of a ver\ interesting discussion in a re
cent mooting of the 1'rcsbyterhin union.
No more imnortant subject could have
engaged the thoughts of the company ,
for every newspaper should be an Ideal
religious newspaper , and until the ma
jority of' them become such religion
cannot do its perfect work in the world ,
says the New , York- Sun editorially.
Unless the greatest engine for moving
public sentiment is employed in the ser
vice of true and genuine religion , the
spiritual regeneration of mankind Is jot
far oil.
The Hov. Dr. Dexter , the editor of
the Congregatlonalist , was right , there
fore , when he said Hint all the daily
papers should bo religious journals ; and
ho showed his confidence in the ultimate
and complete triumph of religion by ex
pressing ills belief that they would become -
como such , The Itov. Ir , Wayland , the
editor of the National Baptist , had much
reason also for his suggest ion that if St.
Paul were now Ihlinho would bo edit-
Ing n religious newspaper. The great
nposlje , throughout his Christian minis
try , made nso of means and methods for
the publication of hH teachings corresponding
pending to those supplied by the modern
newspaper. Ho taught by the pen as
well as orally , and transmitted his writ
ten expositions and Injunctions to dis
tant churches , to be published for the
benellt of the world , nnd to romnin until
now the basis of Christian theology.
St. Paul , too , laid down principles ami
maxims for the guidance of editors ami
other religious teachers which are of
immortal truth. Let us call the ) atten
tion of our brethren of the newspaper
fraternity to u few of them :
He that tflveth. let him do It with shtipll-
city ; ho that nilotii , with diligence ; he. that
showeth mercy , with cheerfulness.
Abhor that which is evil ; cleave to that
which is good.
lie not wise In your own conrelu.
Provide things honest In the sight of all
men.
If nny man think tluit ho knowoth any
thing , ho kiiowcth nothing yet as ho ought to
know.
Knowyo not that they which run In n niro
run all , but oao rocelvotlt thoprlr.oJ So run ,
that yo may obtain.
Let him that thlnketh ho stnndeth take
heiil lest ho full.
1 hud rather speak live words with my un
derstanding , that I might teach others also ,
than ten thousand words in un unknown
tongue.
Uo not children in understanding ; howlwlt
In malice bo yo children , but In umU'istuml-
Ing be men.
Let not be desirous of '
us Vi'lnglory , provok
ing one another , envying one unother.
If n man thinks himself to bo something
when ho Is nothing , ho deceiveth himself.
I'ut on the whole armor of Uod , Unit yo
may bo able to .stand against the wiles of the
dovil. l-'or ye wrestle not ugiilnst llesh and
blood , butagulnst pilnctp.tltttc.s , against pow
ers , against the rulers of darkness ol this
world , against spiritual wickedness in high
places.
Stand therefore , havinir your loins gbt
about witli truth , und having on the breastplate -
plato of righteousness.
Whatsoever things arc- true , wlmtsoru-r
things arc honest , wliutsoovorthfngs are Just ,
whatsoever things are pure , whatsoever
things uro lovely , wlmt.oo \ or things nro ol'
good report : If there bo any virtue , nnd If
there bo nny praise , think of these things.
Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit.
Let no man Judge you in moat , or In drink ,
or in respect of a holy day , or of the new
moon , or of the Sabbath days.
Put off all these : Anger , wrath , nrillio ,
blasphemx , filthy communication out of jour
mouth.
Whatsoever ye do , doit heaitily , as to the
Lord and not unto men.
* Let _ \ our speech be always with grace , sea
soned witli salt , that ye may know how yo
ought to answer every man.
Charge them that are rich in this world's
good that they bo not high minded , nor tiust
in uncertain liehes , but in the Ihing Ooil ,
who giveth us lichly all things to enjoy.
Study to show thyself approved unto Hod ,
a workman that needetli not to be ashamed ,
rightly div idlng the word of truth.
.Foolish and unlearned questions avoid.
Picueli the word ; bo instant in season , out
of .season : reprove , rebuke , eivliort witli all
long-suffering and doctiine.
These are maxims which every editor
should study and lay to heart as guides
for his daily conduct. Truth , honesty ,
sincoreity , courage , justice , should
alway.s abide with him. He should
write in the fear of God and without
fear of men. His thought should not beef
of himself , hut how best to inlluence the
judgment nnd move the hearts of I ho
public. In other words , his writing
should be without .self-consciousiies , a
prime vice. He should deceive in noth
ing , bear false witness in nothing , give
due credit for what he borrows , and
print nothing as his own unbiased opin
ion for which he has been paid as an ad
vertisement. He should not lead men
into temptation , but ward them from
wrongdoing ; not bribe people to commit
offences and then try to railroad them to
'
the prison in whieh'ho should be him
self. He should do good to all moil , and
evil should bo hateful to him. Hisquos-
tion should be : Is it the truth ? not , fs it
the popular delusion of the present ,
profitable to gratify ?
So conducted n newspaper becomes the
ideal religious newspaper , of which our
liantist , Congregationalisl and 1'resby-
torian friends have been talking. It is
not religious merely in the "religionsde
partment , " so designated , but in the
" .secular department' ' also. It is relig
ious throughout.
To be such a newspaper is the constant
aim of The Sun. and when in any respect
at tiny time it fails jo attain so' lofty an
ideal , and so fur us it fails , it bows its
beau in humility , confessing the weak
ness and short-coming of man and his
powers.
Irving mid Cooper.
I believe that in the second century
there will bo but two names that will
live to bo enshrined in the temple that
it passes down to the third , of nil that it
received from the lirst , and those two
names will bo Washington Irving and
Feniniore Cooper , " suysChauneo Dopow
in his After-Dinner Speeches. " And that
will bo for tlio fact that they are sinply
and onlv of America that they have oc
cupied their genius with tilings that are
entirely and only American. ' Uy that
time the Indian race will have disap
peared from the continent to be
remembered only as a 'dream. Lo ,
the poor Indian , will then have boon
othorouli/.ed to a form in which ho would
not know himself. And Konimoro Coo
per will live , not because his romances
are the equals or the superiors
of Scott's or of Thackeray's or of Dick-
ens's , but because they represent tlio In
dian as the second century will love to
recreate him , and will paint him in its
pictures , and will present him in its
comedies and tragedies. And Washing
ton Irving will live because the Hudson
will live. So long as the Khino
is the inspiration of Kuropo MI
long will the Hudson bo tlio inspiration
of the romance and the poetry of Amer
ica. And every spot upon the Hudson ,
as the centuries roll on , will bo moro
picturesque and moro beautiful , because
around it centei-ssomuch that will carry
the undvlng fame and memory of Wash
ington frving , the father of American
literature.
Quarrelled With Washington.
The grounds on which the white hoiifeo
now stands were once the orchard of
David J turns , an old Scotch farmer ,
whoso cabin still stands in lonely obscur
ity a few squares back from the executive
mansion. It is said that Washing
ton , when engaged in laying out the oil v ,
had many a long and hotter quarrel with
Uurns before ho could persuade the old
man to sell the land , oven though it
would be used In future for the homo of
the presidents.
