I It has always been our impression tliat the people should select; their| ablest, most intelligent and foresee- j ing statesmen to represent tlietn in the hulls of Cite national Congress., These representatives should be able ; to hike a comprehensive view of the | needs of the whole people and be j prepared to assist in securing legisla- j tion to promote the greatest good toj the greatest number. But when they go to the national legislature j handicapped by positive instructions on questions of doubtful propriety, how can they aot freely and intelligently for the people's interests ? Local legislation bus been the bane of our country and instructions to act in a certain way arc usually imparted to legislators by those whose political horizon is hounded by local vbion and local interest. What would Andrew Jackson have thought * of a people dictating to him how he * should act on certain questions ? Would he have tamely submitted and yielded the right of independent thought and action for the sake of position and power ? Then newer is contained in the question. Any man who has not character and manliness to maintain and defend his conVlptlAllB lltwlul* ..V..V>IW KIIUVI ?'l > UliUlllllBlUllUCB will make very little impression upon the legislation of the country. He surrenders his individuality to popular clamor and floats easily with tiie current, yielding his right to think for himself on important public questions and simply as a ma-1 chine records the verdict pronounced by popular prejudice. Bettor have tho consciousness of being right than to be United States Senator, or President. Commenting on Bev. Thomas T. (Jailor's declinature of the bishopric of Georgia, the editor of the Southern Christian Advocate makes the following illustrative remarks: "And yet how severely did many condemn Bishop Hnygood for declining, under similar circumstances, the tender of episcopal honors by the General Conference of the M. E. Church, South, twelve years ago. The majority vote of the Conference may not always be the call of God." Such conduct as that of Bishop 1 lavgood tends to impair the confidence of the people in the authenticity and validity of God's calls, or at least those called treat them very indifferently that can be accepted or rejectad at will. Which election by the General Conference was God's call to l)r. llaygood? At the first he had a good position and he coukl confidently say, "I have bought a lot in the Cemetery and 1 mean it," but at the second election he had lost his position and he unquestiot)ingly accepted the election as God's call. Was not his declinature of the first election an act of rebellion against Godjand ecolesiactical author ity? God's purposes are not variable like metis and lie ouly changes His purposes concerning men to suit (heir changed relations to Him.

Oho or two hundred godly men are as likely to understand God's call as is one man, and it is a question whether the re jection of an imposed duty does not entail more responsibility than its acceptance.

If the expenditure of the school fund in that direction would induce our people generally to become readers and thinkers we would heart-j ily endorse the plan.

"Their rock is not as our rock, even our en-: emics themselves being judges." The condensed report in the Stat.o shows that the subject had been well thought out and powerfully presented.

Washington, June 15, 1801. Mr. Harrison is said to be deeply concerned on the silver question and | very anxious to acquaint himself | with the sentiment of the people in I all sections of the country upon this | very important question. Accord ing to my information, which is unquestionably reliable, no man of' ..nil.. M.. II J i |I1 VIIHIIVIIW VIII I't 111 >t' 11 .>11. I lill I Iftllll without having his opinion asked about silver and being questioned about the sentiment of the people in the section from which lie comes. It, is supposed that this active interest is caused by recent statements of those who will have much to do with the sharing of legislation in the next Congress that a free coin age bill would be among the first passed after the Fifty second (Jon grass meets. Hoth Republicans and [ Democrats would like to got this silver question decided before the Presidential campaign, and it may he, although it is extremely doubtful, that Mr. Harrison intends springing a surprise on the country by signing the bill after it is passed. If there has been a single adverse criticism upon anyone of the judges named b}' Mr. Harrison to sit upon the bench of the new private land claims court it has not been made public here. They arc all lawyers of high standing in their own States, and every one of them lias been upon the bench of their State courts. The fact that two out of the five are democrats has also served to prevent criticism. The new judges arc J. M. Reed, of Iowa; W. F. Stone, of i Colorado; II. C. Sluss, of Kansas; T. C. Fuller, of North (Carolina, and W. W. Murray, of Tennessee. The way to reform abuses is to put an end to thorn. Such evidently wan the opinion of Commissioner of Patents Mitchell when he issued his recent order amending the rules of the Patent Oflice so as to absolutely prohibit any attorney or agent, who had been an employe of that office, appearing in behalf of any application upon which he had in any way acted while a government employe. The full significance of this reform may be better understood when it is known that for many years Examiners in the Patent Office have rejected thousands of applications, particularly those from parties who they had reason to suppose, could not afford to put up sufficient cash to appeal from the Examiner's decision, for no other reason than that they might afterwards, as attorneys, get a fee for getting the same allowed; thus, not only robbing inventor to the extent of theaddi-j tional fee, but keeping him out of j i.:_ l _ - A ? i; i - - 1 iiin |juitMii> uuui, hi many cases, it had become worthless on account of later inventions. In futuro Exann-1 Hers will have (o decide applications solely on their merits, and not as many of them?fortunately not all of them?have so long done, with a view to their own future profitSecretary Foster lias by no means lost, interest in Ohio politics since he entered the cabinet, and he has gone to Ohio to assist in nominating a republican candidate for Governor, and he will also probably take advan tago of the gathering of men from all sections of the State at the convention to put in some licks for '92, and to find out how much danger there is for the republican party in the growth of a third party in the I State. Col. VV. \V. Dudley, who is usually classed as an anti-Harrison man, hasn't a high opinion of the recent unti Harrison gathering at Indianapolis. He says of their trying to do anything like that eightocn months before the convention. The thing is not important or significant. It is simply a move of some of Gresh 1 urn's friends to "bring him out. as a V candidate. There is always opj>osi tion to Mr. Harrison in Indiana. Whether that opposition is strong enough at this time to prevent his getting the delegation no man can tell." The democratic view of tin movement was ox pressed by cx-Representntivo Stockslager, <?f Indiana lie savs: "There has always been considerable opposition to Mr. Harrison in Indiana, hut the Harrison people have the machine, and von know what that means in politics. Regardless of the popular sentiment, having the machine is apt 10 give Mr. Harrison control of the State delegation, but if ho is nominated 1 do not think ho can carry the State in '92." It is on (lie cards for the friends of Senator (lorman to make open war uj>on Mr. Cleveland, should lie show anv signs of crawling out of the * soup" where t he < lorman people claim lie now is.

New York and Brooklyn, which have been linn friends for 1<> these in any years, are at last in the midst of war. No armed hosts as yet has appeared on the lofty summit of the Bridge towers nor at the entrants, but, the two municipal governments have hud a cla?di ami the result is that New York has won the first round. The so called Brooklyn Bridge which connects New York with its suburb across the Mast liiver lias always until now been managed by Brooklyn men, tlmngh each city was an equal partner. Last week, however, the annual meeting of the trustees took place, when the New York men caught the Brooklynites napping, as some of them were absent, a president was elected from this city. The Brooklynites look upon this as a kind of usurpation, and their defeated ex president is fighting it as vigorously as possible. Tie attempted to hold the office l>\ force, but was prevented by the janitors who spent the night in the presidential chair. At last accounts President Wagstagg, the new man, was in entire charge, but the opposition threaten to go to court. Poli ties is said to lie at the bottom of the light, hut it is hoped the bridge will be left standing. DEVKI.Ol'MKN'T IN .101,'UN A MSM. A now morning paper has appeared upon tlie scene called the "Morning Advertiser." It is the successor of the "Star" and "Daily Contitcnt," and will be sold for one cent. With the starting of so many new papers one wonders what is to hecome of the old timers. They have steadily been increasing the number of their pages, while decreasing the price. There is also a decided tendency to smaller sized pages, which materially assist the reader in hand ling the paper in cars or crowded places. The small sized pages are much handier than the old time blanket sheets and are therefore mueh more popular. New York lias now three one cent morning papers all of which seem lirmly established. If thesaino rate of progress in journalism continues for a few years longer wo will, no doubt, have papers given to the public free. SKA LIONS IlKeOM E AN Kl.EIUIANI. Cunt.
