Uutli political parties in New York
are coquetting with the to-culled
moral element in politici, which
element is not strong enot'gh to
materially help either one, . No
party can succeed, in New York
City, Unit tries to keep, on Sunday,
the Irishman from hit) whisky find
thu German from his heer.
Durrants trial has trailed its
slimy length along for many weeks
and the lovers of sensation have
had the chance of their lives. There
hre many lessons to be learned
from this trial not the least of
which is, that young ladies should
not permit themselves to be en
tii'ed even into a church at odd
hours of the day and night, even
though their escort lie at) anis'ant
Sunday school teacher. Hud Blench
Lamont's home training been pro
per, Bhe would never have gouo
into that fatal church and vould
probably be alive today. The law
can't catch and confine all ui'h
lecherous demons as TJurrant. hut
mothers' can so educate their
dim liters so thet they will never
put themselves into the power of
such men. The fault is not iu the
law, but in the family training of
the youth of this land, who are
not sufficiently taught to respect
and admire virtue, nor to dread
and .'.bhor its loss and untold evils
that follow in its wake.
Portland is still engaged in a
war, more useless tiian a race-"ar,
and far more destructive to the
well-being of society. Teachers
in the public schools of this great
city are hired or fired, more with
reference to the aarticular religious
creed to which they are attached,
than by their peculiar fitness or
unfitness for the responsible duty
of training the minds of the youth
of that city. The papers even
the Oregonion keep the strife up
by cutting allusions to the actions
of the board of directors. Better
elect a board that cures nothing
.about the religion of its employees,
but much for their attainments.
The law forbids the teaching of any
religion in any public schools. En
force this law, and let the teachers
be Protestants or Catholic, Jew or
Infidel. Let the parent at home
and the Sunday schools furnish
the desired religious training. It
is too much to expect a child to
learn any kind of religion every
day in the week and Sunday too.
The Turks and Armenians are
fighting. The latter will un
doubtedly be destroyed, unless
some other country intervenes.
The Turks have long nppwed the
Armenians.infficting upon them un
mentionable indignities. The
difference in their respective re
ligions, fired by heathernisf) sup
erstition, is the cause. It seems
that civilization, has made but poor
progress, since every continent
harbors men and women, slaueher-
ing each other because they are
seeking eternal bliss by different
paths. :The same spirit of in
tolerance, thatinduces the heathern
to butcher the unbeliever, pervades
the civilized world and causes a
continual strife, equally as bitter,
if not so bloody. Civilization owes
much to Christianity, but the re
ligions of the world owe an enor
mous debt of gratitude to civiliza
tion, in that the weak of religionists
of the world are today, dad have
been for centuries, protected from
his stronger brother by the powerful
arm of the law. Our zealous relig
ionists are alike the world over,
ever ready to prosecute his weaker
brother in Heathendom, bv
slaughter and robbery; in civilized
America, by slanders and boy
cotting, Bnoh inflicts upon the
weaker all the pains that circum
stances will permit, and nothing
but the strong arm 'of the law pre
vents the bigoted Protestan from
forcing upon the Catholic the belief
of the Protestants, and vice versa.

ANARCHISTS ARE VAIN.

' Their Picture Published.
M. Lepine, the French minister of
police, thinks vanity has a good deal to
do with the anarchist craze, says the
London News. That why he be,'jfi
the papers not to publish the portraits
of men who are arrested for being con
cerned in bomb-throwing and other of
fenses of the kind. :"1 consider that
all the anarchists," says M. Lepine,
"have a mental twist, although I do
not class them as madmen. But it is
noticeublc that there is In them a desire
for theatrical display that must not be
encouraged. They have a very high
opinion of themselves, and are much
concerned with regard to what is be
ing said about .them. Whether they
are at a public meeting or in a 'prison
cell, they always keep their eyes upon
the public. Sect what happened at

When he found he would be without

All who were present will tell you that

A lecture on Greenland was given In
London not long ago by Clements Mark
ham. His history of the early discoy,
eries included the voyage of Erie the
Red.
Hall was the first Englishman who
laid his bones on the shore of Ureen
land. In 1731 Tlnns Egede, the apostle of
the Esquimaux, landed in Greenland.

It is 830,000 square miles in extent,
the whole being u mass of ice. A Dan
ish professor in 1830 made his way for
thirty miles inland and described the
scene he saw.
There is nothing but a white world
supporting a blue vault. From far be
low one's feet there comes the moaning
noise, the voice of rivers flowing far be
neath. Occasionally there are loud reports
from the opening of the cleft, a vast
mass of water pierces Its way in the ice
down to the underlying granite itself
for thousands of feet.
At thirty miles from the coast tho
height above the sea was 3,300 feet and
the ice was still rising,
i A wonderful sight is that of the co
lossal rivers, deep and brood, which
flow between tall blue banks, and pour
nt the end of their course down a cleft
with a mighty cascade, which is con
spicuous from a distance from a cloud
of mist which always hangs above it.
On the strips of the land near the
coast the Greenland flora, though
scanty, is very pleasant to the eye.
Vegetation covers the ground in thick
masses, forming turf in the level
places, while it fills the chinks and
crannies of the rocks and oreeps over
the surface of the stone, giving a bright
appearance to the land in summer.
