The Father of our Country had not strictly abstemious Labits, Some old bills have boon found in Alexandria, Va., from which it appeara that Gen. Washington was accustomed to make auch purchases ns theso: ‘“Boven packs of ards;" # four barrols of porter; " **ten gallons of rum.” These documents, wo BUpposo, havo »n historio rathor than a present interest and value. It will bo essy for tho temperance peoplo to show that Washington saved his zonntry in spite of bis fondness for rum, not becauso of it. Gon, Shalor's first report, or series of recom- mendations, which was submitted to tho Board of Police yesterday, contains bis views only in roforenco Lo Lhat part of the city bounded by tha river, tho lake, and Harrison street, Hofinds the present supply of eugines in this district to bo inadoquate, tho compauios of mon too small, and the location of engine-houses {ll-chosen. Thero aro many proporty-holders fn Chicago who will bo surprised to learn thot in all the Adstrict considored by Geun, Shalor, embracing tho business section of the city, there uro but thros fire-cngines. The recommendations of Gen, Shaler secem to boe pertinent and valuable, Yhey will doubtless receive the enrly aud re- rpectful considerntion of the autharities. Mr, W. N, Sturges, when he discovered yestor- fay that tho majority of tho Board of Trade Iavored his expulsion, sued out an injunction torbidding a declavation of the vote. It is poor wncouragement to tho Lonest nnd respectablo members of the Board, who aro barely in a ma- lority under the most favorablo circumstances, Mat tho courts are always ready to intorfero with uny efforts Lowards tle oxpulsion of un- wortby mombors. Mr. Bturges hoas forfeited the position of an honorable businoss man. - His sonduct would not bo tolerated for s moment by tny of the reprosentative commercinl bodica in ihie Eastern cities ; and, if it is tolorated hero, iho sooner tho Board of Trado goes to pioces tho dettor for all'persons concerned. ‘Where i tbo corn which thus, by a fietitious stimu- Rtion of prico, was brought to Chicago?

Tho fact is that the parties who 1ad control of the market for 8o long could only sotain that control by keoping tho grain in notion. Ilence tho Times does not understand vhat it is talking about in tho abovo quoted Jexagruph. A gingular meating of irou-manufacturers was Yeld in Philadolphis yesterday. The meoting w0 siogular iu that it had nothing to say about o tariff. Thero was ab first o diversity of spinion as to the causo of the provailing dullness a tho trade, Bomo manufacturers ascribing it to werproduction ond others to the extortions practiced by tho conl dealers; but tho meotingat lust sottled down to the scnsible conclusion that the supply of iron for somo months past a8 excecded the domaud, and henco tho losscs »f the trade.

Ar, Agnow can afford to be indopondent, The varty was of no strongth to him, whilo bo was of grout atrength to it. Ho recolved tho votes of thousands of porsons of all parties who voted for him on grounds of personal proferenco to bis opponout, and Lo would have been olectod Bheriff oven if tho restof the Poople's ticket bod boen defoated. Ho is an ofiicer of tho pub- lie, and his firat duty Is to tho publio, and what~ over indopondenco ho may oxercise in the matter of securing compotent and rospectable subordi~ natos will commend him to tho whole community, evon if it prove distastoful to the army of appli- cants backed by tho loenl Captains of the Peo- ple's party. 1is own credit demonds that ho have nono but responaible officiala about him, No attempt has yet beon mude to estublish maximum rates of traneportation for the ex- pross compavies, but thore is & strong probabil- ity that something of tho kind will be attompted in tho next Illinois Logislaturo. The Board of Railrond Commissloners has fately been fnquir- ing into its powors in this respect, sud bas asked s dofluition of thom from tho Attornoy- Genoral. His opinion Is published olsewhoro iu this paper. It is in effect that a etrict conatruction of tho Railroad Inw warranta the application of its provisions to all porsony, firms, and companies, and to all assoclatious of porsons, whethor incorporated or not, that shall do bugmeas a3 common carriors on any of the railronds in this Stato. But tho excrciso of this power Is not oxpodient, since it would bo im- possible to propare n new table of rates boforo tho meeting of tho Logislature, and the imposi- tion of the railroad ratos upou the express com- panies would bo obviously unrensonabla. ‘Cho rovival of the chieap trausportation queation ng rolated to oxpross companies will occasion somo alarm among tho owners of stocks, and gomo Joy smong the hot-headed Grangors. Noxt will come tho turn of tho telograph com- panies. In may bo obsorved, in passing, that there it loss oxcuse for interfering with tho express and telegraph companiea than with the railroads. For expross froights and telograph dispatches, ot tha bost, are luxuries, and ahould be paid for as such. PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT. The Advance socks to mako a reply to recent articles in Tue TripuNe showing that prombi~ tion does not prohibit, by showing that in En- glaud, * whero thore Is no attompt mado at pro- bibition,” drunkenness is on tho steady incroaso. Soys the Advance : But in Eogland, a5 wolearn from a London paper Juut coma to hand, thero has beou au enormous in- creago iu the number of convictlons for tho samo of- fenso, In 1867 there were 100,000 urreats for drunken- nesa; fu 1872 thore wera 151,000 ; ond in 1873 thero were 183,000 And there s no attempt at prohibition thero, If now {he one set of statistics proves that pro- libition I8 a faflure, what do the other facts prove sa 1o the effect of non-prohibition ? Tho Advance sccks to wonken the forco of our arguments and the logie of ofiicial statiatics with roferonco Lo tho effects of prohibition in this country by assuming that the absenco of pro- hibition laws in England hag encouraged drunk- onness, aud, by parity of reasoning, that the do- font of prohibition must incronse druukenness io this country. Ioforo wo concedo anythidg of thie kind lot us look at tho fucts, Fhreo years ago, the British Parliament, under the lead of Mr., Gladstono, had a Liberal majority 1n tho House of 100, and tho House of Commons pussed & tomporauce law which was rogarded as very stringent and resfrictive. It provided a govero penalty for gelling liquors in any country village aftor 8 o'clook In the ovening, and in cities and tho large, populous towns sfter @ or 10 o'clock; In other words, it olosed tho snloons at thoso hours, It furihormore pro- vided that on Bundays all drinking places should bo closed until 2 o'clock p, m.; that {8, until aftor church and tho diuner hour, and should be closed again in the ovening at 7 or 8 o%lock, eo that on Sundays tho ‘saloons or public houses woro open but o very fow hours, This not. was possed Lhreo yoara ago, sud continued In force until last July, when it was matorfully modified by granting publio houeos an 1ncreaso of hours, and by reducing ponaltios as woll ag tho puniehment for intoxica- tion, Tho act wus, in fact, completely stripped of ita strongout fentures, Now, whot had been the effect of thi partially prolibitory law whicl went into forco fu 18717 Wo tako the figuros furnlshod by tbe Advance for o roply: “In 1807 thoro wero 100,000 arrests for drunkonness, —that wag boforo tho law was passed; in 1873 thero wore 161,000; nnd in 1878 thoro woro 183,- 000! Tho law had, it seoms, no offect in ro- ducing drunkeonoss in Great Britam and Ire- laud ; on the other hand, drunkonness had in- creasod, It had not restrained the indulgenco of appotito inthe lenst. It had shown vouclusively that tomperanco conld not ba enforced by po- lico or L;Ouu!.nb\flll’Y potwor, by tho bludgoon, h;y publio arreat, or by tnflicting physioal ponal- tios. Ab tho tima of the passago of Mr. Gladstone's bl tho Liboral party was iu tho nscondoney. It was the parly of progross, It was in the very loight of its power, aud could count a huudrod majority in Parliament, It swept all tho eloo- tions, oxcoptin a fow of tho strong Torv distriots, whero the power of tho nobility nnd Iandloldors was complote over the tonantry. It gave to England the vote by ballot. It gavo hor tho froo-school mystom, It gave hor law roform. It mado an immonse reduction in taxation. Not- withatunding tho blessings it Lad and was con- forring upon Eugland, from tho very day of the pagsnga of this bill its majority bogan to molt nway and ita power to wane. As tho mombors of Tarlinmont aro oleclod for sovon years, thoro was no gonoral election, but whonover o vacanoy oc- ourrod, olthor by death or from any ocause, for somo mystorious rosson it was found that the Tories filled four out of five of tho vacancios in distriots carried proviously by the Liborals by overshelming msjoritios. In 1878 tho Liberal party lost 26 or 80 soats, The majority continued to disappear. The strongost Liberal boroughs cantinuedtoreturn full-bloodod Torios, As s final resort, Gladstone dissolvod Parliament, which ho foarod to meet, last spring, and went boforo the peoplo with a proposition to roduco taxation $27,000,000,—n measuro which ho supposed wonld moot with universal favor. The campalzn was o vory short and oxciting one, lanting but fivo or six wooks, and ot its close it waa found that tho ontiro publican in- torost had gome over to the Torics, and that tho Libersls had met with tho most torriblo dofont they had ever encoun- terod sineo tho days of Peol, Thoro aro 240,000 publicans in the United Kingdom, and thoy and their immonso conatituoncy of rotainers allying themselves with tho Tories, had upset all pre- vious caleulations. Tho Liborals wero out and Gladstone was crushed, and tho very first aob of tho Tory Governmont was to repoal g0 much of tho Gladstone bill as the publicans aud their ougtomers domanded. Uuless the Advance is so projudiced that it won't aeo anything at sll which it does not wish to balleve, it must acknowlodgo that tho results of prohubition in Groat Britzin and tho United States aro preolsely similar, both morally and politically. The Advanceeays: If the editor of Tug CnoAco TnIsUNE, who has beon muking vlaborate use of the figures of tho Post, will rofer to the fsauoof tho Advance for March 19, he will find thore tho oplnfonsof Gov. Dingloy, Senn- tors Homilin and Morrill, tho Itov, Dr, Flske, tho fon, J. B, Foster, ox-Gov. Poerham, and others, all of whom testily to tho great beneficenco of the law in that Sato, howover it might or might not succeed in other States, The oditor of Trne TrinunE s no occasion to refer to thoso statoments. It was, thowo very statements which tho Boston Post at first and subsequently the Chiof of the Stats Constabu- lary.of Maino completoly rofutod. The Advance, however, need not st Tne TRmuNE down a8 & foo to tomperance. We agras with the Advance that drunkonness 18 the crowning ovil of this country. We sagree with the .Advance that it ds wurgontly necessary fo sup- pross it. We differ with the Advance, however, in the mothod of doing it. Apart from the moral and political results of prohibition, which we bave shown rcpeatedly, thero is & porsonal and individual view of tho gubject which tho Advance ought to recognize. It i tue height of sbsurdity to attempt to re- slrain a man from dofog a thing which he do- pires to do, and which Lo noitler knows nor focls to bo criminally wrong. Solong asho foels is to bo o personal” right fir him to uso stimulants, and nob in its naturo & crimioal act, bo will resont such interferoncoe 1.8 & violation of vatural and personsd rights. The application of tho Inw In the first place is folt to bo an imper- tinence, and the instrumentality with which it is gought to bo enforced is utterly inndoquate to tho end, innsmuch as tho grozt majority of policomon, constablos, and other agouts of tho 1aw havo an appetito for stimulants, and thera- foro do not feol or beliove that ita indulgenco ia & crime, and consoquently sympathize with tho vietims of the lsw, When tho .ddvance can convinco mon that it {s criminal to drink, just ad it Is to stenl, it will pot bo any moroe difiicnlt to enforce lawa against intoxication than it is to onforce laws. against thoft.

Mullett had been in offico so long, and had squandered 8o largo a portion of thio publio revonues, aud had carred things with euch a high hand, that Lo liad como to Lo ro- garded by his favorite contractors and under- strappers, if not by bimself, as the domiged of national nrchitcoture. An intercsting chapter might bo writton, aproposof Mullett, to illustrato tho Malthusian principlo in » cerlain class of publio funotionaries, Tho office of Bupervising Architect of tho Tronsury is emphatically one of thoso governments! crontions that grows by what it foeds on. Origlmlly =& olork- sbip in the Treasury Dopartmont, it hoa alowly broadened, aud widenod, and length- oned ftaolf, without law, and in spito of law, to tho dimensions of o European principality, Tho appropriations for this clerkebip have grown stoadlly and poraistently undor tho Mullett reqime till thoy have reachod the enormous sum of §10,208,880.02, whioh was the amoun$ appro- priated for public buildings, exclusive of tho Capitol oxtansion, for the flscal yoar ending Juno 80, 1874,~a year which has beon called, and was in part, a year of retronchment in the gonoral oxponditures of the Govorument., In this particular list wo find appropriations for Qustom-Houses at Rookford, Me,, Fall River, AMasa,, Port Huron, Mich,, and Nashvillo, Teun,, and on sppropriation of $800,000 for additional ground for tho now Post-Offico at Boaton, The lnst-montioned itom would of itsolf far- nish o toxt upon which a chaptor might be writ- ton on tho omuivorous Malthusinu tendencies of suporvising architecture ns practiced by Mul- lott., DBut bofore reaching that item we are ro. mindod of ouo nearor home, by noticing an'ap- propriation of §23,826.44 for fmprovoments on tho Mariuo Ilospital at Chicago, In 1864 Con- grosa directed tho Bocrotary of tho Troasury to soll tho old Moriuo Hospital and groonds at Obi- cago, and mith tho procoods purchaso a elto and oroct o now bullding. Who law was oxpreas and poremptory that the cost of tho entiro now houpltal shonld not oxceod the® sum recelved from tho old one. 'Tho old hospital and grounds brought $182,000, Theroupou Aul- lott lmd out plana and woeut to work on the banis of a projectod oxponditure of #0100 $400,000.

The distinguishing featuro of tho Alullott polioy has boon to lay plaps for two or throo times tho amount of monoy that Congress could bo inducod at any ono timo to appropriato, foro- ng each ndditlonal appropriation under ponalty of losing what has beon spont already, & apocles of architoctural coeraion of which tho country is much too full,—to multiply public buildingsat places whore none are needed,—to pull down old onos which sro amplo for s uation that owes & dobt of $2,800,000,000, and which aro porfoctly eatisfactory to the inhabitants of tho 1o8pootivo loonlitios till they sro told how much thoy ore abused by their old-fashioned Custom-Houso, Post-Office, Court-Houso, Marino Hospital, Bonded Waro- houso, and Appraisers’ Store, and to iatroduco a atylo of Oriontal luxury and batbaric splendor in public offices scandalous to the nation, waate- ful to the Troasury, aad demoralizing to' the poople, Among the exciting causes of Iast year's panic, under which tho countryis still gronning, oxtravagance in public buildings is among tho most potent, Extravagance on tho part of tho Genoral Govornmont has begotten oxtravaganco on tho part of State Govornments, aund County Governments, aud City Governe monts. A few yoars ago wo were contentto tranesct public business in substantial brick ond stono buildings. Now wo must have ono royal palago in evory sccond or third-rato town, aud twoor threo of them in every firat-class oity. For this sort of oriminal waste snd folly tho man Mullett is Jargely responsible. Ho is & good riddance to tho tax-payors-of tho nation, It Beorotary Bristow had dono nothing else, ho would bavo desorved well of the Ropublio in vacating tho office of Supervising Architect. Wa hope he will find a successar, {¢ any such offica 88 Bupervising Architeot is needed, who will vovivo the principles of common sense and obedienco to law in the construotion of build- ings needful for pubtic service, broak up tho contractors’ rings that have risen and flourished under tho Mullett dispensation, and met an example of economy, prudonce, and good taste to the States and cities of tho Unton. THE ILLINOIS & MICHIGAN CANAL, The lotter of Commissioner Utley to the Son- sto Transportation Committeo, published yes- torday in Tur TRIBUNE, though datod in March Inst, contains information that is very pertinent ¢ this time. Tho Diinols & Michigan Oanal was originolly designed to conmect tho wators of Lake Michigan and the Itlinols River, so as to afford continuous wator transportation from all parts of the Wout and Southwost to tho lakoes. Unfortunately, tho plan of a deep cut and o wide canal was abandoned, and the work was begun and comploted g it now stands, Some yoars 0go the City of Chicago deepaned the channel of tho canal from Chicago to Lockport. In the nleantimo, ¢hangos have tslon placo in the Hlinoig River, In 1834, whon this canal was dealgned, tho river was a fall stroam, naviga- blo at all times far above LunSalle. Gradually tho volumo of water diminiehed, untit somo years ago LaSalle becamo tho head -of navi- gation, lenving {he canal without any connaction with the river, excopt for n fow weeka each spring. The project of improving the river then becamo o nocossity, and finally, in 1869, tho constraction of & look and dam was ordered at Honry, 80 milos below LaSalle, thus making & conngction with tho rivor, and securing 7 foot of water for that distanco in the dryest part of the seagon, Tho plan of the river-improvement contomplates tho comstruction of fonr othor locks below Honry, which will give & continuous dopth of 7 foot of water to tho junction of the river with the Mississippi, a distance of 228 miles, Tho socond lock and dam sro being built at Copporas Creok, 60 miles below tho dam at Honry. For this the 8tatoof Illinois has appropriated §400,000 of the net revenue of the canal, to bo expended as it acoumulates, While this work wag going on, Congress mado sevoral appropriations for tho improvement of the river, which money was oxpended for dredging tho lowor river and removing bars, Soventy-flve thousand of the $100,000 sppropristed for the Illinois River by Congress, in 1872, was, by an arrangoment botween tho United States and tho Btato authorities, used to construct the founda- tions for the dam and lock as Cop- poras Creols, the appropristion by the Btate uot boing avallablo at that time, This saved at loast ono year of time in this work, as woll 28 975000 of tho State's monoy. In 1878, the Commissioners wero ablo to apply $100,000 for tho samo work. What hna beou done in 1874 we cannot sny, but the surplus revenue has not probably been loas than $90,000. Tho con- struction of that dam, therefore, may ha cone sidorad o8 provided for, leaving but three more doms and locks to complete tho work on all of tho river below LaSalle to its month, Just horo fa a difioulty, Tho locks on the river are 060 foot long and 75 feot wide, and adapted to tho passago of largo steambonty and gunboats, whilo tho looks on tho canal aro but 100 foot long and 18 foot wide. Whilo thie disorepancy existstho southern end of the canal must remain the hend of steamboat and gunboat navigation, Nothng larger than an ordinary caualboat can come any farthor north, Tho whelo length of this caunal 1s 96 milos, but tho rivor may bo improved north of LaSelle as well ss at the othor end, It is capable of Dolug onsily ime proved by dams and locks, at least ne high as the mouth of the Kankakeo River, and tho enginoers ssy to tho little luke below Joliet, which fs only 45 miles from Ohleago, Thiy wonldl disponso with more than half the length of tho prosent canal, By enlarging this romaining part to o wideh of say 120 or 140 feot, with looke liko thouo on the river, and ita dopth imcroascd, the original design and purposoof tha canal would thon bo comploted, and tho lakos would bo connootod with tho wholo Missiuslppi system of Westorn rivors, oxtending ite bouoflts to sll polate,—trom New Orleaus to 8t Paul, and Pittsburg aud Noshville to Littlo Rook and Blonx City. Mr. Utloy'a lottor shows tho offoat of tho river and canal navigation upon tho rates of raflrond transportation. The complelion of tle canal aud the river hoprovement will extend thab offeot to tho rutes of overy railroad crogslng tho Misslusippt River sbove 8t. Louls. The cost of thiv work would be compiratively small Tho fivo locks bolow LaSalle will cost whon comploted about $3,000,000. Of this sum tho Biato has appropriated snd ox- pended $400,000, and has appropristed $430,000 out of tho rovennes of the canal. This with tho portion of tho Congresslonsl appropriation al- rondy applled will lonve a surplua nftor tho com- plotion of tho second dam and lock for the third ono. The work, at this rato of progross, howaver, wilt be a long time fu complotion, when In point of factitis of immedinte nocessity, Thero ate throo sources from which the cost of tho wholo work can bo provided. 1. The appropriation of the rovenucs of tho canal averaging at prosent $100,000 . yoar; 2. Tho rovonue from tho Illi- nols Central Rallroad; .8, From the United Btates, Tho Btatocan roasonably nsk of Con- gross an aunual appropriation oqual to that mado by herself ; but tho mero appropriation of tho canal rovenues shon duplicated by Congress are nltogother too small for the complotion of tho work in any reasonablo” time, or to pormit tho prosent goneration to share its bonofits and pro- fita.

If the Btate would approprinte this rov- enuo from the railroad aud the 1eveonue from tho canal, on condition that Congress approprinto an equal sum, thon tho domand or roquost of the Statowould not only, o heard at Washington, but would bo promptly complied with, In that caso,—and the wholo sum required would be com- parativoly small,—the work could progressat both ends of tho river and on tho canl enlargoment simultaneousty, Tuatead of working on onodsm oach yoar, !hn.ru might be soveral under con- struotion nnd the enlargoment of tho canal at the samo time, and the wholo work comploted withiv & fow yoars, The State nppropriation need bo but for o comparatively short time, as much of the work haa slready been done, snd tho Congressional exponditure, with tho Increns- Ing rovenues of tho canal, would goon finlsh the wholo job, and give the country tho flucst ox- tent of slack-water navigation in tho world, and moking the wholo internal water-communica- tions availablo ns competitors and rogulators of Failrond froights, REPBESENTATION OF MINORITIES, Wo yestorday published a table showing tho acouracy with which tho system of minority reprosentation operated at tho late eloction in this Btate, and bow that system proveuted o mero sccidental majority in & largo number of Represontative Districts from disfranchising for the next two yeara tho actusl majority in the State. Wo showed that the Republicans lost two membors in bwo districts bocause of their at-’ tompt to deprive tho minority of its just ropre~ sentation 3 that the Opposition lost in & like manner by running a multiplicity of candidates, and how the Opposition also lost by ignorance of tho fact that they were in o mafority, yet run but one candidato. Those excoptlonal cases, however, nearly balanco thomsolves, and of tho 153 mombers of tho Houso of Ropresentatives the Ropublicaus olected 69, and the combined Opposition 84; while, had thero boen no minority represontation, the Ropublicans would have elected but 54 and the Opposition 99. ‘We now have a further illustration of the suc~ cesstul working of the systom which waa de- signod to give each party s ropresentation mc- cording to its numbors, and no more.

But Etter did not got tho wholo Oppo- sition vote, and Powell gob more than the Ro- publican vote, and this is shown by the voto on Stato Troasuror, which was ag follows : Ridgway, Ropublican,.

The theory advanced by Prof. Tyndall that he # discorned in mattor the promise and poteucy of evory form and quality of life® in addition tothe commotion which it caused in tho rolig- ons world, is likely to play a considerablo part ntho political aronn s well. Onthe 80th of October, Oardinal Cullon and the twonty-soven Bighops aud Archbishops of Ireland issued & pastoral lottor to their flooks upon the subjeot of tho matorialistic theory, which thoy assorted was nothing else but tho tenchiogs of a school of pagan philosophors who flourished 000 years be- fore Christ, and whoso condomnation was pro- nounced by Plato and Arlstotle, They sdded furthor that thoso dootrines wero born of a cor- rupt paganism, spurnod by the groat heart of mankind in disgust, and avgrily rojocted ag ab- sund by the very flower of human intelleot, Now a8 thoso uttorances aro nothing moro than hovo bosn proolaimed by churchmen ovorywhore, tho pastorat lotter, if It contained notbing more important than a brillinnt and bitter rhotorical display, would oreato nothing but an ordinary ripplo ou tho aurfaco of the roliglous world, and would out no figure whatover in politics, As in tho wasp, howover, the sting of tho lotter is in ite tall, .tho closing sentoucos of *which are ominous, foreshudowing an evident intention on tho part of tho Catholics of Irolaud to renow the fight ovor thoe Irlsh Univorsity bill in tho noxt session of Palloment, aud to make Prof. Tyndall's addresu play an importaut partin in- fluonclng Irish votos. Tho addross, aftor al- Iuding to the polemical and propagandist spirit of mutorinllsm, ocoucludos by usking * Who will not foel the necessity of saviug Irish Oatholics from tho dreadful cholco alluded to by Prof, Tyndall, botwoon the loap of the torrent and the otillnoss of tho wwawp, by malutaluing for thom in » Oathollo unlvorsity and in Oatholic schools & Living fountain of Ohristian education?” ‘Tho faot that the Roman Catholic Ohuroh lns boon making groat headway in Qroat Britain Intoly ins 60 soriously alarmod tho statosmon of tho Eatablizhied Clureh tnat ovety frosh sign of tho activity of thelr cantlous oppononta is viewed with fncronsod snxioty, Tho moro publication of Prof. Tyndall'a theory waa suflolontly alarm= ing toall bellovera in rovoaled roligion § but the mannor in which tho Roman Catholio party pro- poso to omploy it againat tho Eatablisbed Church parly hae cortalnly added fuel to the goneral tury ngainst Tyndall, bosides complicating the politioal situation.

Mr. Disracll ia credited with tho remark that the noxt war will bo a re~ ligious war, and the indications point toward Groat - Britain as ono of tho partici- puuts, It is cortainly evident that tho religious quostion is now a predominant ono, not only in Gront Britain but in most of the other countrics of Europo, Itis also olear that the difliculty lios in tho connoction which exists, more or less olosoly everywhere in Europe, betweon politics snd roligion—S8tate and Church. Whother tho inovitable soparation botwaon tho two will rosult in bloodshed will depend unpon the poliey sdopted in moking the changoe, Gladstone's progrossive liberalism may roquire longer than Bismarck's nggrossive absolutism, but tho effoct of the formor will not only be mora lasting, but it will involve moro of tho violent revulsious of fealig, thovught, and habit which are the legiti- mate offect of the German policy, and which naturally lead to war. Bhould a religious war oceur in Europo, it will be intoresting to observe whather, and by what policy, Great Beitsin will succoed in keeping out of it.

The Advocals rojects two of thoso and rocognizes labor atone, Capital is the offect of past labor. It entors into every offort of prosent labor. No production is possis blo without it.
