MA Y REPEA T ITSELF.
Cotton Mather was born in
16G3 in Boston where he died at
, the age of 66 years. He was
held to be the most profound
scholar and prolific writer Ameri
ca had produced up to that time
He was the author of almost four
hundred different works, some
of which are quite voluminous.
His works were devoted, mainly
to metaphysical, ethical and
rc-h'gious subjects. He wrote a
lok on "Witchcraft and Posses
sions" which was acknowledged
authority on those subjects, and
was, indeed the chief authority
used in the trial and conviction
of those accused of witchcraft at
Salem in 1692. What he did not
know concerning the Devil and
diabolism was believed to be past
finding out.
He wielded a powerful influence
on New England life which was
felt many years after his demise.
One may ..scarcely say his in
fluence is yet of things passed
away. From reading about him
one might think he was a saint
who was scecially privileged to
dwell close to the Eternal One.
However, he lived in a narrow,
bigoted age and was a remark
able exponent of the fact.
Recently a letter written by
him has been unearthed and pub
lished. It begins: "Boston,
Sept. ye 15, 1632. To ye aged
and beloved John Higginson:
There be at sea a shippe called
ye Welcome, R. Greenaway mas
ter, which has a board a hun
dred or more of ye heretics and
ms'.ignants called Quakers with
W. Penne, who is ye chief
scampe at the head of them."
He then gives the information
that "Ye General Court" had
given secret orders to the master
"of ye brig Propasse to waylaye
sed Welcome as near ye coast of
Codde as may be and make cap
tive ye sed Penne and his un
godly crewe so that ye Lord may
be glorified and not mocked on
ye soil of this newe coustre
with ye heathen worship of these
people. Much spoyle may be
made by seding ye whole lot in
Barbadoes where slaves fetch
jrood prices in rumme and sugar
and shall not only do ye Lord
great service in punishing ye
wicked but we shall' make great
itood for his ministersandpeople"
He subscribes himself, "Yours
in ye bow elsof Christ." '
The great good was the rum and
sugar, of which both ministers
and people were exceedingly
fond.
It will be observed that this
letter approves piracy, slavery
and rum that "ye Lord may be
glorified."
History records marvelous things
during the two and a quarter
centuries which have intervened.
"Ye chief scampe W. Penne"
founded a colony which became
a powerful state. He played no
scurvy tricks, through the use of
rum or otherwise, upon the In.
dians. He let such things remain
in the hands of "ye Lord's min
isters and people" of cape
Codde", Plymouth and Massa
chusetts Bay, while he negotia
ted so just wise and equitable'a
treaty with the natives that for
more than forty v ears not a drop
of Quaker blood was shed by In
dian hands. Piracy and the
slave trade have been done to
death, and the rum traffic stands
upon the scaffold awaiting the
hour for its execution to strike.
Men have ceased to believe these
things contribute to the glory of
the Lord.
What has produced the change?
It cannot be the Lord has chang
ed. The teachings of Christ have
not changed. Human nature
remains what it was two hun
dred years ago.
, It must be because men have
reached a deeper, wider know
ledge of eternal truth and have
clearer conception of their rela
tion to God and tp each other.
History, it is said, repeats its
self. . Who knows if it may not
repeat this record of the past?
All bigotry, all self-righteousness,
all exclusiveness have not
,een destroyed. It may be men
are deceiving themselves and
their fellows. It may appear,
some day, that the while men
have been swayed by the same
baneful spirit and that neither
"ye ministers" nor ''ye people"
are freed from fondness of
"rumme and sugar" any more
than they are from bigotry and
narrow mindednes?.
WILL TRUST HIM.
Representative Dalzell repre
senting the Pittsburg, ,Pa.'. dis
trict in congress is spoken of as
now favoring tariff revision in
all the schedules of the law ex
cept that touching the products
of the Steel Trusts of whbh he
is represented to be the obsequ
ious tool.
Mr. Dalzell has favored revis
ion for a long time. No man in
congress better understands the
difficulties which will beset any
attempt at revision and the wide
spread disturbance to. the busi
ness of the country which al
ways attends tariff tinkering,
He sees, as every intelligent man
does, that, there are a number of
things rightfully and more insist
ently demanding legislation than
tariff revision. The m schief
these work to the people is b-
yond compare with any that may
oe ascribed to the tariff even by
free-trade theorists. When these
greater evils have been remedied
will be soon enough time to look
after the lesser and largely imag'
inary evil growing out of the
present tariff laws. This, has
been, is now the attitude of the
of the republican party. That
party has never practiced eva
sion to escape from a plain duty,
nor will it permit itself to be
forced into hasty, ill-advised act
ion on any subject, much less on
one touching the business of the
whole country and the welfare
of all our people as tariff revis
ion assuredly must.
Mr. Dalzell is a protectionist
representing a great manufactur
ing and mining district in a state
so decidedly in favor of protect
ion that her representatives . in
congress must be protectionists,
even though democrats. He is
no more the pliant tool ef the
Steel Trusts than of the manu
facturers of glassware, of ma
chinery, of edge-tools, of the
miners and shippers of coal and
of the labor unions. These are
protectionists, and some of them
more radically so than the Steel
Trusts. We have heard Mr.
Carnegie time and again say:
"I do not care what I have, pro
tection or free trade; but I must
have stability." The intelligent
workman demands stability and
protection and is often found
more decidedly opposed to tariff
tinkering than his employer is.
Representative Dalzell has been
continuously in congress for up
ward of thirty years, and it is
a fair presumption he has served
his constituency with fidelity.
He represents the interests of
Pennsylvania in the councils of
the nr.tion, and anti-protectionists
end free-traders have no'
right to expect he will lend him
self to advance their, theories
and schemes.
Wilkins, Hampton, Morehead
each in turn, long represented
this district in congress. The
first two received high judicial
honors. Russell Errett, of the
, old Pittsburg Gazette served a
I short time. Gen. Jas. B. Neg-
ley, killed politically by increas
ed "salary grab" was suceeded
by Dalzell, who has been in con
gress continuously ever since. Of
all the able men representing
this district and no state had
abler men than Wilkins, Hamp-
ton and Morehead John Dalzell
ranks with the ablest.
It is a safe conclusion, but one
which blights the hopes of anti-
protectionists, that he will have
a strong hand in shaping tariff
legislation, strong because of his
wide experience and exact know
ledge of tariff laws and their
operations for good or ill.
A VAIN THREAT.
It is to be regretted that the at
tempt to advance municipal and
social reform in the pity of Chi
cago has been defeated. There
is no city in the country where
reform is so sadly needed as in
the "Windy City." Corruption,
venality, rascality of all kinds
have controlled the administra
tion of municipal affairs for so
long a time that the city had
gained a well-deserved and
world-wide reputation for, mis
government. Crime, too, of the grossest and
most dangerous character has
been so fearfully prevalent there
that timid, law abiding people
have shuddered at its satur-
nalian record:
To escape from these untoward
conditions it was found would
require certain amendments to
the city's charter. These were
formulated, submitted to popu
lar vote and defeated by the law
less, viciou3 element, which is
very largely composed of foreign
ers. This element was massed
and directed against the reform
movement mainly, it is claimed,
by W. R. Hearst and his news
papers. Elated by their victory the
"United Foreign Societies" bold
ly proclaim their purpose to or
ganize in every considerable city
in oppsition to so called "blue
laws." . Their first efforts are to
be put forth for the destruction
of the American Sabbath and the
substitution therefor of the con
tinental Sunday.
There is an American Sabbath.
