CHARLES II ADD EN SPURGEON.
The news that Charles Hadden
Spurgeon, the great London preacher,
is likely to recover from his dangerous
illness will be hailed with joy by mil
lions of people, the world over, who have
learned to love him for his own sake, as
well as for hie work sake. He is be
yond question the greatest preacher of
his age aiJd 1R many respects the greatest
preacher of any age. He is- pre-eminently
a man of one book the bible.
His sermons, which have been published
weekly for over thirty years without in
termission, except, it may be, during his
present sickness, are very simpleexposi
tions of the scriptures. There is no at
tempt at oratory or embellishment, and
no reaching out after adventitious . aids.
He has tWn aptly styled the last of the
Puritans, whose manner of teaching and
close adherance to scripture he very
closely imitates. Of the so-called higher
criticism he haw always been an uncoui
ptomising opponent. That he is a man
of remarkable natural gifts no one for a
moment questions, but the secret of his
success lies lesp, we believe, in these
than in an intensely ferved piety, a
broad and generous philanthropy and
an unswerving devotion to divine truth.
Few men in the world can count a greater
number of devoted friends and fewer
still have so many devoted onep. The
thousand j of students who have' been
fitted educationally for ministerial work
at the college which he founded, and of
which he has been for so long president,
all look upon him as a father. The
amount of good he hns done among the
masses in London and by his writings
throughout the world can never be esti
mated.. For over thirty years he has
been able to hold, with unabated inter
est, weekly congregations of six to seven
thousand persons. The number of per
sons on the list of membership of the
tabernacle congregation is believed to be
the lararest belonging to any single
church in the world. Rich and poor,
high and low, learned and unlearned de-
. light to listen to his words. Yet he is
not, strictly speaking, a learned man,
except as learning is confined to one
book, and he is so little of a cleric in the
strict sense of that term, that he refuses
the title of Reverend, preferring that of
Pastor and he would never allow him
self to be ordained. While he is an un-
. compromising defender of Baptist teach
ing he gladly welcomes to his church
communion Christians from all other
evangelical denominations, with whom
he has at a)' times maintained the most
.friendly relations. The day that the
world will lose Charles Hadden Spur
geon, that day it will lose its brightest
ornament and one of the greatest men of
the century. May this day lone be
averted .
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The diversified opinions of the press
of the country on the renomination of
jGovernor Campbell by the Ohio demo
crats , and the adoption , of a platform
.favoring a revenue tariff, free coinage pf
Of silver and a graduated income tax
ought to make a very interesting chapter
for the readers of the Chronicle. The
Philadelphia Press (rep.) says: ' "The
Ohio platform brings the country face
to face with' silver inflation ' on the old
battle field of sound enrrency Ohio.
.The republican party, in the act of July
14, 1890 planted itself on the sound
economic policy of using silver, at "its
market price to the full amount of the
t American product as a basis of currency.
Any ' currency ..based .oh metal valued
..above its market priceis by that extra
price a phantom currency. .Theu.one
Safe basis for currency is a. metal, taken
, at its market price in the world's market.
Democratic success will mean free silver
just as democratic h success would hate
t meant, fifteen years ago, the repeal : of
the. resumption act ' and ' free . green
. backe.l' .', The 'Baltimore , Sun (dem,.)
.says: ., "The ;,free. silver plank, .in
the Ohio platform was adopted
against .the protest of- nearly half the
convention ' and as public sentiment ,4s
developed it will be found that even In
. those sections in ?which free 'eoinage is
strongest the party, is divided in a way
, that, forbids the idea of unanimity. .A
.declaration of doctrine made by so slight
.X majority ' as; in Ohio, practically
- amounts to very little as an expressibn
, of party principle and is calculated to
' do far more harm than . good. Those
hom, it is intended to " court are Jnpt
likely to be fully satisfied with a pro
jinnciamento that virtually comes from
but one-half the party and which they
may be inclined to think, is made only
for political effect, while many inde
pendents who would vote with' the dem
ocrats on all otjher, issues will be ykeljr
foeMghTtened "toff bygone;' which. 'they,
consider pregnant with menace." Th.e
Newport Press (repO.ays:. ,A8'il
matter "of fact the adoption of a
plank in favor of free coinage of silver
was effected by a bargain between the
silver men and the democrats of Ohio.
At the meeting of the National Silver
Executive committee held in this city a
week "or ten days'before lhe"OhiO demo
cratic convention, it was agreed that a
large sum of money, at least half a mill
ion dollars, should be raised and poured'
into Ohio 'for the democrats if they
would adopt a free coinage plank and
make that one of the leading issues of
the campaign. Agents from the com
mittee went direct to Ohio and were
in -attendance On the democratic
convention, and the free silver plank
was tbe 'result." The Denver News,
(dem.) says: "In dealing with the silver
question the Ohio democracy rises to an
attitude of moral ' and intellectual
grandeur. There is no evasion. It
scorns the sneaking pusillanimous atti
tude of its republican predecessor which
nominated McKinley, and extolled the
virtues of the present law impotent for
everything except injury. to the silver
cause and injustice to miners every
where. If Campbell wins, the national
conventions of both parties will be forced
to approve free coinage and President
Harrison will not dare to veto such a
measure when passed by the coming
congress. Three cheers for Campbell
and the free and unlimited coinage of
silver I"
The St. Paul Press (rep.) says-; "In
declaring for the complete abolishment of
the protective system, the question which
the voters of Ohio have to decide is not
whether the particular measure fathered
by McKinley was wise or right but
whether any sort of protection shall be
afforded to American industries. And
on the silver question they have to de
cide, not wiiether the silver bill which
passed the last congress" was a wise and
judicious measure but " whether they
want to drive all gold out of the' country
with the depreciated silver dollar as the
standard of value." The Richmond
State (dem.) says: "The platform is
manly throughout. Even the silver
plank, mistaken we believe, is outspoken
and to the point.free from so many of the
demagogical suggestions generally lugged
in by silverites on all occasions. The
tariff is the real issue and is no experi
ment like silver legislation. It has been
tried. The depressed condition of the
country under McKinleyism proves
what the republican party has done."
The Minneapolis Journal, (ind.) Bays:
''The silver plank was carried but t
struck : upon rocks, ' going through.
When 300 democrats out' of 700 de
clare for honest money, in a state
like Ohio, where there has been so
much leaning to inflation in the
past, there is some encouragement to
believe that a reaction will set
in against the free coinage fad which
will save the country from the bitter ex
perience its effectuation would entail."
The Birmingtori, Ala., Age-Herald
(dem.) says : '"'There is no longeri any
room to question that free cofnage is a
cardinal doctrine of the democratic faith
and that it will be made a plank of the
next National platform." The New
York Times (dem.) says :. , "Free coinage
is in no sense a state issue and the Ohio
democrats have blundered badly regard
ing it." The Atlanta Constitution (dem.)
says: "Some of the Wall street organs
are making an effort to show that there
was a division of sentiment in' the con
vention on the silver question. There
was really no difference of opinion on
the silver question,, but a minority
thought that the best policy would be to
make something of a compromise by
using ambiguous language.". The Chi
cago Herald (dem.) says : "The one
issue' in Ohio is the McKinley
bill. It . was '. bad generalship in
leaders of the democracy , after accepting
that issue, to add a subsidiary one to it.
The silver question is not yet a party
question and neither democrats nor re
publicans are prepared to djaw party
lines upon it.'' The Pittsburg Dispatch,
(ind.) says the graded income tax plank
is a "tub to the farmers' alliance whale.
The New York Sure," (deim.) calls an ' in
come tax, "class legislation of the worst
sort.", It shows that in 1870, when; the
tax was still in force as a war measure
it was paid by only one. adult male out
of every thirty. The 'New .'York Trib
une, (rep.) says ; "Not only have they
(tbe Ohio democrats)- committed them
selves, to class legislation on a tremend
ous scale but they have invited unpopu
larity by demanding a revivals of the
most odious, methods of war taxation
which, cann t be enforced without the
establishment of- ay system of inquisition
and espionage repugnant to American
ideas and abhorrent to the free citizen."

three, women carrying nnall parcels
boarded it.
After disposing of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that . they carried in their

Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the other's arm and exclaimed:
"Don't, dear, I have change." The
third woman said nothing, and the con
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.

one of the women.

Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly " handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
"Faith, thim vrimin do be always the

to his post. And who shall say he was

No loubt About American Soldiers.
Infantry, of course, - constitutes the
main body of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the war beyond a question: That hun
dreds of thousands of men, most of them
entirely unacquainted with the elements
even of discipline and drill, were trans
formed in so brief a period into officers
and soldiers was certainly one of the
wonders of our time. But the material
was in the main of the best, the desire to
master the new trade well nigh universal
and very strong, and there were from
the beginning many opportunities for
practising what had been learned. '
The armies of 1862 were far and away
superior to the levies of 1801.. The arm
ies of 1863 were decidedly superior to
those of 1862. But in 1863 it is probable
that the highest point of efficiency was
reached in both the Federal and Con
federate armies in the east, and certainly
in the western army of the Confederacy.

Hint for Traveler.
Nausea, from the motion of the cars,
may be prevented in the following way:
Take a sheet of writing paper large
enough to cover both the chest and
stomach, and put it on under tbe cloth
ing next to the person. If one sheet is
not large enough paste the edges of two
or - three together, . for . the chest and
8tomachmu8t .be well covered. Wear
the paper thus as long as you are travel
ing, and change it every day if your
journey is a long one. ' Those who have
tried it say that it is a perfect defense. '
Those to whom the term "sleeper" is
a hollow 'mockery may profit :by the ex
perience of salesmen and . .others who
travel frequently, and have the bed
made up with the pillow toward the lo
comotive. : JuHt why this Bhould make
sleep easier is not explained, but the
plan is highly recommended. Ladies'
