OUR 8ATURDAT NIGUT.
It baa bceu the custom of Tiik
JoubnaIj to begiu tbo week by giv
Ing a uonaplcuous place toTalmugo's
sermon, It usually closes the week
witb a Batukday Night rev!uw,or
9onteiuplatlon, lu which the wocb or
follies of mankind couio under ob
servation. In this way TnE Jouu
NAL is a moralist on a Bmall Bcale,
and it prefers to make no larger claim
as it has a holy horror of anything
po excessively virtuous as to be
above the human averuge.
There has been much to cull atten
tion to religion, as it is called, the
past week. Large meetings have
been hold aud a concentrated effort
has been made by all the most earn-
est professed religious workers com
bined aud united. It is expected in
two weeks two thousand people will
receive the new light of the gospel
of Jesus aud henceforth go on their
way rejoicing, with a new song on
their lips, a new chart of life and a
new code of conduct. Their family
if religious-will be htippy, if skepti
cal of orthodoxy will await tho ro
Hilt of years to bilng out the fruits
of lepeutunce aud conversion. So
the world will wag along.
Is it any better for this religion ?
All or nearly all will say it is.
Without tho churches It is doubtful
If u sane state of society and self
government by the people wore
possible. By means of revivals tho
churches are recruited. If wo desire
churches wo must desiro revlvale.
When all this is said, there arises
still a doubt, whether with mulii
plielty of churches society is any
cltaner and healthier, homes any
happier, divorces fewer, crimes less,
und morals better than fifty years
ago, befoio tho rapid conversion
processes were adopted.
The discussion of tho question
uroubes a spirit of coutioverey that
will bring little good, perhaps. But
the question, what is religion, is the
most important ono of the ago or of
any age. it is louuuea in laitti ana
belief aud wrought out In workc.
But all the former without tho latter
are especially condemned. Neither
is I be letter of faith and belief of
any importance, as the Phurlsees
kept all thut and were condemned.
By a simple contortion of logio
some denounce the confessional but
decline how ono must confess to his
rt'llgio 11 h profession or he is ruled
out by them from the household of
faith. Iliey insist on verbal pro
fusions as .more important than
life-conduct.
But you say, how will the world
know that I've got religion? It is
not necessary tho world Bhould
know it. You do not have to pro
claim it from tho housetops that
you'vo got religion. Your family,
your neighbors, and those you do
business with some of them will
make the discovery. It cannot be
that they are ull mean people and
lefuso to do you justice. You can
not get by any process what they
refuse to admit that you aro pos
sessed of, because if religion is any
thing it will aflect your relations to
and deallugs with others.
There is no selfishness in true
religion. It is the very opposite.
It seeks no cinches hero or here
after. The idea that many people
seem to have of religion, that it is a
means by which they will get into
heaven und enjoy an everlasting
stale of bliss and iu that way be
bolter of!' than some ono else who is
going to u placo to sutler endless
torment, this idea of religion is no
more nor less than highly orguu
l.ed selfishness. It is a depraved
and degrading conception of the
illvluo will, and Is nothing but u
theological sugar-coating of human
seltluhness and labeling it the pill of
talvation, as bo mauy quacks oiler it
from the pulpit as a cure for all tho
evils of life.
TUB THHATY KATIVIEU.
Tho United States has tuken Lord
Halisbury at his word, Tho seuutc
ratified the Behrlng sea arbitration
treaty yesterday by a unanimous
vote. In view of his explicit ud
mifislun that when the arbitration
treaty was ratified "both partita
mustudmlt that contingent rights
liavo become vested In tho other,
which Loth desiro to protect," tho
Hrltlsh premier cannot now refuse
to renew the modus viveudl with
out stultifying himself. Having
passed the treaty, this country Is
entitled to demnud that tbo modus
shall be revived In an effective form
without a duy's uuuecefesary deluy.
Much time has already been lost In
the mutter, owing to Lord Salis
bury's procrastination. Tbtro in no
more to lose if tho seals aro to have
genuine protection.
The wibdom of the president's
resolute course Is vindicated by the
resultc. Ouly a short time sgo.
Lord BulUbtiry was intslBllng that
there was not tho slightest occasion
for a modus viveudl, and his dis
patches indicated very clearly that
he did not proposo to renew tho pre
vious agreement. Tho determination
of the administration to maintain
American rights to tho uttermost,
backed a it was by tho sentiment
of the entire nation, forced a com
plete change of front on tho part of
the Tory ministry.
Lord Salisbury's latest action Is an
unmistakable retreat from his
former position. It marks another
diplomatic success for tho adminis
tration that maintains the dignity
of the United States with equal
firmnessagainstthoussaultsofweak,
half savage nations und tho en
croachments of the mightiest em
pire iu existence.
MILIS ELECTION.
Tho annoucement of the election
of Mr. Mills to the United States
seuate was made in the house of rep
resentttlives by Mr. Traoy, of Now
York, the leader in the anti-silver
fight. Ho went to tho Republican
sido of tho houso and mado tho an
nouncement in the midst of tho sil
ver debato. It was received with
great demonstrations of joy by the
Republicans and antl-sllvor men. In
fact, they "outdid" his supposed
frlonds In demonstration. This may
not be generally understood. It
was meant to have an eflect on those
members who were fuvorlnir. free sil
ver, but were a little weak iu the
knees, and it was offered them as a
demonstration of tho fact that the
bosses could "take care of a man
when he went contrary to the wishes
of his constituents." It was well
known by tbo whole houso that
Mills had been opposed to tho con
sideration of tha silver question, aud
that ull thut any anti-silver man
wanted was to postpone considera
tion until after tho full elections. It
was also well know that tho papers
published over the entire land thut
Mills had agreed with the New Eng
land nnti-sllvor Democrats that if
he was elected speaker he would
pack tho committee on coinage,
weights aud meusures against silver
so thut it could not bo brought up
at this session of congress. Conse
quently, the announcement of his
election to the senate from u strong
free silver state was calculated to
demonstrate the power of tho bosses,
and they made a great parude of it
in the house.
OPTION DEALING.
Resolution against option dealing
passed by unanimous veto of the
great labor cenference:
Wo, your committee on options,
beg leave to report as follews:
Whereas, tho present pruotlco of
dealing or gambling iu eo-culled
"options and futures" on tho various
furm products aud necessaries of
life is of nationul Importance, aud
involves not only a moral principle
but an economio question, bolug dis
astrous and pernicious to producers
aud consumers ullko, iu compmiBon
to which lottery gumblirfg sinks into
insignificance; und whereas our
respectful memorials' to congress
have so far been on tiroly disregarded;
now, therefore, bo It
Resolved, That we most solemnly
protest against this iufumouB evil
and demand tho passago of such
laws as will effectually eradicate ail
gambling or dealing in options aud
futures.
