Cash Vailuc r Missionaries, j
The popular estimate of foreign
missions is that it costs a dull ir so I
send twenty-five cents to forc'gn
lands, and that the same zeal, la- I
bor and money expended upon
pagans at home would yield much
larger results. Dickens' travesty
of the missionary cause in '-Bleak
House" the flannel jackets and
moral pocket-handkerchiefs and
Borriaboola-sha mission has been
generally accepted as a measure
of the wisdom, the disinterestedness
and the usefulness of those who
bel:eve in this method of extend
ing Ciiri tianity and improving
the world's morals.
Alter a trial of over sixty years
the missionaries have sometliinjr
to say, and in a recently? published
treatise have gathered together
testimony to' the practical value
and efficiency of their woi k. Tuet
put it on the same bisis as that
from which it is assailed, unci main
tain that in dollars and cents the
system has already vindicated It
self. To,th'e question, "Do missions
pay?" they say "yea." They have
yielded large returns to the kuowl
edgo ot mankind its geography,
'geology, philosophy, hiitory, gen
eral literature, medic il science,
music, commerce and the arts.
Noted travelers and sc enlists
ars.c.tid in favor of their indeb
tedness to the researches and dis
coveries, of missionaries. Carl
Bitter, the famous geographer,
says be could not have written his
great work without the aid of the
Missionary Herald, in which "the
reader must look to find the most
valuable documents, that have
ever bpen sent over by any socie
ty." Professor William D. Whit-
ney, of Yalo College, the famous
authority on language, very em
phatic in admitting his "indebted
ness to the value pC missionaries
to science, and the obligations
whichthe American Qriental So
ciety and othet . Oriental societies
'feel toward them.
. Richard H. Dana, who recently
died, Iho author of "Two Irears
Before the Mast," says of the
Sandwich Isla'id missiens: "Every
mission family' was a source of
civilizing influence; each mission
house a dispensary, and each mis
sionary a school-teacher. 1 ha e
seen in their homo- collections oi
animals, plant, shells and lionets,
valuable to science, and they have
often pre-crved the best, some
times the only, records of vocanic
eruptions, earthquake and meteor
ological observations."
Many other missionaries hae
attained in heathen lands crreat
reputation and usefulness as doc
tors, sotiu of them by t.ijhing
modern medicine to the na'ives,
others by substituting scientific
meMical treatment for the supr
. stitious practices which constitutes
the healing art. Thpy hft-c csuh
lished secular institutions of learn
ing, like the college at Beirut and
the Roberts" College in Con
stantinople, and they challenge
comparison with any other similar
work for the same period of time
in civilizing tho people with whom
they have como into contact. If
it does not pay qarti-rly dividends
in cash, they claim that the returns,
if reckoned by decades and half
centuries, will prove it the best
-paying investment on the earth.
"I Have been," writes the.
Bishop of Victoria (Hongkong),
"again ntid again stopped while
"pleaching, with the question, -'are
you'an Englishman? Is not that
me country that opium comes"
irom? Go back and stop ft, and
then we will talk about Christian
ity." PuOPEBTTin Gold Hill, Nevada.
has so deteriorated in value, that-
enterprising Gold Hillers have de
veloped a new branch of industrv.

with a view of realizing n thtir
uuunraoe policies. -

In an argument for the passage.
i ..r
of tin?' ami-Polygamy bill which
passed the House i:nm-uutIy
rfftur liie coiiclmmm of his 'speech,
Re preVutiltH c IXdtkfll oluia'-trr-ized
life Mormon church, as mfa
uious in us object, in its purpose
anil in its past accomp'ishuii nts; .
out magnified in power iy a
priestly oiga nzutioti, as unrivaled
by any organization in the world.
He wished he could picture to the
House this Mormon hierarchy of i
Utah, which was struck at.bv the i
bill. He would litce to show Demo
crats who were votinsr to tn.itii
tain an infamous institution how
Mormons had slipped out of con
trol ot the general government
oxer four hundred thousand acres i
of the public lands and prostituted
them to an iron clad ch.ireh ec-
c!eaiasticim. He- would lihe to
"tell how they had pissed i'ie
re.iter p-irt of their terntoiy i it
of fedcril courts and put it u to
the hands of municipal oiganira
tions. He would like to call at
tention of the Democratic partj,
to the fact, that the people of tiie
United Statei would not hold it
guiltless Tor the declaration on this
lluor that it abhorred pohgainv,
if when it were called it should
vote against the most righteous
bill that ever came before Con
:rres. Tiioucu it is now oer .i tir
since Alexander wa- assassinated,
the new czar has not yet been
crouned; his dread of the ni'ii
lisis is such rhat lie feais aisis is a
tion should he venture upon air,
public display. 'Tis said that it a
Czar dies uncrowned he cmuioi
lc'p with Jiis fathers in tho impe
rial mausoleum, and even whili he
lives there is a certain sacredi.iss
which does not attach to hi-5 per
son until he has recehed the coro
nation biessincr.
The Albany Argus thinks that
if the T.iihtuany organization in
New York is dead it is a very live
ly corpse. In 1879 it elected a
Republican Governor, in 1880 it
defeated a Democratic candidate
for President; in 1S8L it boat the
Democratic State ticket and in
1SS;! gae the Legislature to the
Republicans, which is quite i e
ries of exploits for a Democratic
club todo.
