can tho South bo expected to be squeamish
about accepting such appropriations in
visw of the enormous gratis tho North is
making upon tho national treasury to pay

timatod a million of soldiers burnt powdtr
inbebalfof the Union. At the ordiuary
rate the casualties of war and human mor
tality, three-fourths or these should by this
timo be under the ground; yet there are
how 250,000 pensioners of the civil war on
the rolls; recent legislation of congress
will soon Lave increased this number to
500,000; more than 300,000,000 had been
dealt out to them up to March 1, 12;
105,000,000 were paid out during the fiscal
year just ended, and $ 100,000,000 is theap
nronriation for the present fiscal year; the
arrears act alone, according to C'ommis
sioncr Dudley, will requiro $ 100,000,000,
and according to ex-Commissioner llent
ley, $400,000,000 ; and finally, during the
next twenty-five years tho amounts to be
paid out on account of this one war will he
about $1,!)00,000,000, thus making the total
amount paid up to that tiino nearly $2,-
000,000,000, even should all the projected
schemes of additional pension legislation
meanwhile tail, which, if successful, would
make the amount greater than tho entire
war debt.
" Here theu," adds the Hi a inter, "is the
btrden of the government. It is a shrewd
conspiracy upon tho part of the manufac
turing interests of the North- and West to
render necessary for a quarter of a century
to come the collection of an enormous

reduce the re7enue is to interfere with the

such an aunual visitation had not better

In short, instead of building levees to con
fine tho river to Its channel, would it not
bo more profitable to open sluiceways to
make the annual inundation free and
regular, ajjil use the money proposed to be
cxpeuded upon levees in erecting mounds
of refugoJ'or the people and tlu'ir stock
during the inundation, as the mound build
ers probably did many centuries ago, for
the numereus-maunds titey erected iu the
Mississippi valfey could have had no other
rational purpose. Touching this subject,
a New Orleans correspondent of the Now

THX XTBBItL BLACKMAIL.
The victims ot the blackmailing system
f the Republican Congressional Campaign
Coamittee, engineered by. Jay Hubbcll,
are becomiag clamorous to know what is
doe with the bleod-money extorted from
them. M MMahusorto and most New Kug-
latl Itopnbheaus sty tbey need and waal
aut of the money to save their congress-
nan; the regular Republicans m l'cua
sylvania scout Hubbull and make a levy of
thoir own of 3 per cent, on tho ollico hold
ers of that state; Mabono has made a sim
liar levy of 5 per cent, on tho Virginia
office-holders; Foster denies emphatically
that the Ohio Republicans want or expect
any part cf Ilubbcll's levy, and so doubt
less tho Republicans of Indiana and Illi
nois are ready to swear. Who gets the
llubbell money? "They say" a good deal
of It goes to Michigan to help Hubbcll
himself in his fight to beat Terry and get
his seat in tho United States Senate. Theu
a largo proportion of the fund is wasted in
the south. For example, a Washington
correspondent writes:
Araone Ilubbell's enterprises was a plan
to carry North Carolina by Democratic de
fection. It was Known mat several iiour
bous. who had failed to cct office from their
own friends, wero iu the market, and had
frequently visited ashlugton to exact
terms from the Democrats, or, as an alter
native, to sell out to tho Republicans. It
appears that llubbell was caught in this
trap. Two thousand dollars were trans
rerrod from the contribution box into the
pocket of oao ot tho North Carolina men,
who put the money where it would do him
the most good, and left tho "movement" to
shift for itself.
Then the admtuistration and llubbell
have adopted Geo. W. Jones, the green-
backer, as their candidate for Governor in
Texas, and are "boosting" him with money.
A similar alliance has been made with the
greenbackers in Missouri and with the
democratic bolters in Tennessee. Wherev
er a rotten Democrat can bo found, or a
sorvbead who is in the market, the ma
chine managers at Washington adopt him
in preference to a sound Republican. Tens
ol thousands ot the money levied on poor
men and women by Jay llubbell are ex
pended in this way for the profit of seedy
adventurers who hardly have a title to
their own votes.
THE IRON MEN'S STRIKE.
There was sore disappointment at Pitts
burg on Monday, and some excitement,
wbuu it was announced that the Amalga
mated Association, at their district meeting
in that city, had decided to reject all over
tures of tho manufacturers and go on with
the strike. Most of the men of courae will
obey the mandate, but the blacksmiths,
hammermen, fcc, at one establishment,
who were ordered to quit work, refused lo
do so, and others it is said will follow their
example. The mill-owners say if the
Amalgamated Association had oltercd a
compromise, say of $5.73 for puddlers
(they ask $6), it would have been accepted ;
but now thero is no recourse but to start
up with non-union men, and thrco of the
four Pittsburj mills have made their ar
rangements to do so at once. The strike
eotnmenced on tho 1st of June and inclu
ded many thousand laborers and their
ra,nn.,-inw' wnoni, or coarse, ll.UI
But be ceanderable suffering.
The Juliet Herald, the new oad vigoroei
Democratic daily started in that city, Is
quite anxious the Democrats shall nomi
nate a strong candidate for congress in this
district, being confident he can be elected.
Will county, if wisely managed, it says,
will go strongly Democratic, and we can
safely add so will La Salle, while " the Re-
publican party in the district," says the
Jleral'l, " is rent by bitter feuds until Stal
wai'tisra and the other wing are nearly a
badly disfigured tu is the case iu New
York state. Its two factious are bent upon
destroying each other. The party is beav-
lly weighted with tko profligate recoid of
its congressman. The Democrats of the
stats aud district aro thoroughly united.
With harmony in their counsels, and a
strong ticket and a full vote, they can win
a victory ut the polls In November."
There are comparatively few candidates
for congress who can afford the luxury of
a complete poll of their districts two
months before the election, so as to ascer
tain precisely how each vote stands, but
Mr. D. M. Henderson, of Iowa, has treat-
eu Himself to this luxury. The work of
course is very expensive, and Mr. II. has
never been accused of wealth, but he is
secretary of the llubbell committee, nnd,
as tho World remarks, " It is better to be a
doorkeeper at the Republican headquar
ters than to own a silver mine or even a
star-reuto contract."'
p Louis has a starvation case that
leaves Dr. Tanner far in tho shade. The
easd is that of Miss Philllpcna Frengel, of
a well known and highly respectable faml.
lyofthut city. Last Monday completed
tho third month hitico the lady bad tasted
ftxxl. " During all the time Hho had lukttii
nothing but liquids and even these she has
not been able to retain on her stomach.
Tho ablest physicians in tho city have
been consulted, hut admit that tho case is
beyond their skill. Tbo lady is gradually
wasting away and of course, unless some
Huexpected change takes place, tnut soon
die.
It is to be hoped, for the honor of the
clotli mid the white choker, that a little
local popgun of Monday dots tho Rev. G.
It. Barnes gross injustico in its account of
his last Sunday evening'e discourse, repre
senting him as having "knocked the stuff

If lit and good for food; tho tree of llfo aUo

owlcdKC of good Slid Cf II.
And tho Lord tlod took the nun, and put
hm into tho gardnu of KJen U dress il-a
te kssp ll.
And the I.wrd God eoniiDsaiUe the ins,
saying, Of every treo of the garden thon
myet freely eat:
Hut of tho treo of tho knowledge of good
and evil, thou etiHlt not eat of It: for In the
day that thou cutest thereof thou shall sure
ly die.
Dearly JJclomi Brethrtn : As tho Lord
never does anything w ithout an object, he
mu-t have had an object in planting the
tree of the knowledge of good aud evil in
the garden ot Kden nnd ui commanding
A!.im not to eat of it. What was that ob
ject? Let us inquire. Notwithstanding
tun command we find that Adam did cut
of it and thereby lost eternal teirestiul life,
and became uioitul liko uuto the beasts,
tho birds, and tho fishes. We mus-t not
conclude, however, that tho result was
Gfd's object in planting tho tree and en
joining upon Adam not to cat thereof, for
he never thought of such a thiug. On the
contrary, ho earnestly desired that Adam
should not eat of it, und was heartily sorry
when ho discovered that his command had
been disregarded. Yes, beloved brethren,
he wss not only 8vrry, but highly dis
pleased nboul it, for he censured Adam f ir
yielding; to the entreaties of tho woman,
and the woman for permitting the serpent
to tempt her, and the serpent tor mislead
ing the woman. His displeasure was so
great that ho imposed n special punish
ment on the woman and on tho s"rpent.
N, my beloved brethreu, God did net
plant the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil iu the garden of Kden for any
such object. True, Adam might have
lived until this day without having tasted
of It had not the Lord exciicd bis curiosity
a to the quality oi its fruit; besides, if be
had eaten ot it without the kuowledgo oi
doing evil, he would have been an inno
cent party, and God, who is just in all
tkiags, could not consistently hold him
responsible. So it became necessary for
Ood te point out the tree to Adam, and no.
tiff him of its character and the conse
quence there must follow his yielding to
the temptation of eating thereof. God
made Adam in his own imago and like
uess, and lelt him perfectly free to do as
he pleased. He told him so, only remind
ing him mildly at the same time of his
obligations to his God fur having created
the earth and all things Herein out of
nothing and havinc made him (Adam)
lord over all. In return for all of which
he only asked that Adam should not eat of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
It was only reasonable for God to ask of
Adam some evidence of bis appreciation
of the favors conlcrred upon him. So God
created the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil and placed it In the garden of
Kden, the 6imple object being to test
Adam's appreciation of the favors con
ferred upon him. True, if he desired, God
could have looked Into tho future for mil
liecs of years and seen everything that
would occur; but in this instance he did
net look ahead at all, because he desired
Adam would use his liberty, his free
agency, to gratify his owe desires or to
plcese bie God.
Beloved brethreu, God's ministers should
in all things, and under all clrcumstaaces,
follow his example. In the case of Adam
we understand that God did not remove a
temptation, but, on the contrary, he cre
ated one and pointed it out to Adam, that
he might know it and avoid it tor God's
glory and his own good. The true minister
of God will not, therefore, advocate re
course to civil law to remove from man
temptatiens to evil, but will point out the
evils and supplicate God, Lis master, to
bless his people and fortify them with
christian streugth to avoid them and keep
in the path of virtue, thus recognizing tho
power, the goodness and justice of God,
and gratifying his desire as clearly exem
plified in the case of Adam, that man's
gratltudgo and lovo for his creator should
be tested by the ordeal of temptation.
From the foregoing remarks you can ap
preciate the inconsistency of ministers
who would appeal to civil authority to re
move from man all temptation to evil.
Such ministers are unable to comprehend
that by removing temptation they would
leave man without hope of future reward
or fear of future punishment and them
selves without employment. For if there
was no evil there would bo no need for
ministers. Such policy is excusable only
in men whoso nuuds arc in their nature so
aerial that they aro incapaole oi descend
ing to the plane of common sense. The
truo christian minister will not meddle
with the business of Ciesar; ho will loave
the making and enforcement of the civil
laws to tho proper authorities and attend
strictly to exhorting nnd preaching the
Word of God.
For politics the pulpit Is no place:

The Kansas City 'limr shouts exulting
ly : "There isn't anything that can beat the

It is not so much politics as spelling books
Missouri needs. Inter (Jctan.
The census returns show that, except
among tho negroes, who arc all republi
cans, there are fewer persons who cannot
read and write, and the standard of intelli
gence is higher, in Missouri than in re
publican New Hampshire. Better send
your spelling books to tho "Granite State."
