CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

One of the newest inventions, discoveries, or "fads" of the day is that which has recently come into general notice under the high-sounding phrase of "Christian Science." Just what it fs cr what it means, there seems wide room for difference of opinion. Some do not hesitate to say, with strong emphasis, that it is but a new phase of "free love," but the Christian science people abhor such an Idea as much as any one can.

there eteem to be divergent views a* to the wpecltie province of the new faith. In fact th« whole ache me appear* to be somewhat vague and ahadowy, Itnjomuch that ft is not wonderful people disagrooabout it. Doubtleaa there are pureminded people who believe in the new doctrino and are conselontious in their faith 1 it* efficacy. There may be others who use it as a cloak for ill dealgna, or •re so infatuated with it a« to be led into foolltth and even sinful excesses.

At any rate the reports which come from some of the fashionable watering places do not tend to inspire confidence in the new doctrine. It has somehow got so mixed up with the idea of elective •opportunities, soul-mates, et cetera, that certain impatient men have openly declared that it practically amounts to the wife's repudiating her husband when «he has grown tired of him. If reports be truo the now faith has broken up homes that were once happy, but this may have come from abuse of the doctrine rather than from any proper result «f It.

All In all, Christian science Is under a serious cloud in the popular mind and noeds to explain a good many things before It will be free from suspicion.

FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONAIRES. Noting the rapidity with which great fortunes havo been piling up in New York during the past twenty-fivo years, the World pertinently (inquires whether there will be room thereabouts for the poor man at the end of another quartor of a century. Tho World compiled a list of New York millionaires, finding that 12A men,

women and

121)

each good for more than a million dollars. But the list was necessarily far from complete and tho World ^estimates that at least 500 individuals in that city could to-day check a million dollars from tho bank.

It Ip said there are sixty millionaires in Cleveland, which Is probably below rather tlmn above the mark. Chicago has a large number of them and every city In tho country has its quota.

What does it mean, this concentration of vast wealth In the hands of tho few? Doom it bode good or evil to society and the nut ion Our Institutions were founded on tho theory of the equality of the people, but there Is less of equality with the (•."iMMfgo of every year.

The World asks, "May not the pressure of tlvls mighty reservoir of wealth, which a thousand golden rivulets are swelling each day white men work, each night while men sleep, each hour while in. are ja»*lng It by unheeded, break ut in*! tli ngh the barriers which the constitutions have «et up and sweep away our social order before its merciless tide?"

THE KILLING OF JUDGE TERRY. There is but one opinion on the killing of Judge Terry, of California,—that a violent man meet a deserved violent death. The reputation of Judge Terry was notoriously tod, and his moral and mental composition was that of a bandit rather than of an upholder and executor of the national and state law. His violent wifc is determined to prosecute Judge Field and Marshal Naglefor the mi ier, and an rt was made to secure the services of Colonel Robert Inger .11 to this sid. Mr. Ingereoll's reply on the question is an admirable statement of the true position to be

taken in the ative he aaid: "T 'vilt -in. in'

A ooox deal of interest has been shown of l^te in oriental discovery and tho unburylng of aucient treasures in Egypt and Palestine. A new phase of this interest is the effort of Cardinal Lavigerie to recover Jerusalem from the infidels. His propisition is to raise enough money among the Christian natives of the world to purchase the city of Jerusalem and if possible all of Palestine, or at least all the portions made memorable by the eveuts described in the New Testament, and erect it into a free state, to be ruled by a Christian prihee, under the protection of all the Christian countries of the world. He declares that it is a disgrace to allow the holy sepulcber to remain in the bands of men who deny that Chdst was the saviour of the world.

The cardinal is pronounced one of the greatest orators of modern times, his flery zeal resembling that of Peter the Hermit. His efforts to put an end to the slave trade In Africa two years ago are the admiration of the civilized world. No building was large enough to hold the crowds that gathered to hear him and money poured in freely to carry out his plans. What his success will be in this later undertaking remains to be seen.

making a strong case for the

World's for herself, Chicago is making a strong case againstNew York. There is no one thing more important to the millions of people who will attend the exhibition than an abundance of pure water. New York hasn't got it. It appears from recent investigations of the New York board of health that of the million people who live in tenements in that city the majority do not use the Croton water because they cannot get It, and depend on the exposed

tanKS

on the

housetops with their supply of rainwater. Many of these are foul and the water tintH for use. If New Tork can't supply her own citizens with pure water how could she supply the many thousands who would throng in during a world's fair? On the other hand, Chicago has Lake Michigan to draw from—an inexhaustible reservoir of pure water— and the new tunnel now being constructed will be finished and in use by 1892, thus assuring

unlimited water sup

ply. This Is certainly a strong point in fayor of Chicago.

ticrrK a boom In foreign immigration Is siting into South America. TJuo Ariikine Republic is making special efrts to attract settlers and is paying out million dollars a month on passage tickets. There are undoubtedly great opportunities?1 for profitable investment in South Am erica, much bettor than in the crowded portions of the United States. The demand for labor must be far greater there also and thousands of Europeans will find tho chances for comfortable living decidedly better there. Should the tldo of Immigration continue to flow in the direction of South America we m^y expect to see a rapid development or that, country.

8A YINGS OF PROMINENT MEN. The germ of the best patriotism is in the love that a mau has for the home he inhabits, for the soil he tills, for the trees that give him shade and the hills that stand in his pathway.—[John W. Grady, Atlanta.

Newspapers are often criticised for what they print, but If it were known how much credit they merit for what they don't print, or for the nonsense they whack out of what they do print, they would command a much more generous judgment.—[Col. McGlure.
