Joseph Cook looks down from his sublime height to utter these words to the pilgrims below: "I know that editor" look upon their papers as upon bank bills. I ask that editors should make ttieir profession sninethl-ig more than a financial venture." We timidly raise our eyes from the ground to return tlie compliment, and deli­ cately venture the suggestion that Rev. Joseph Cook and his ilk should take a little of their advice to theiu- ^elvos. Did he. or Beecher. or T*lmage ever deliver a sermon that was not a financial venture ? Have they not re­ fused time and time again to lecture for charity's sake unless they were paid $150 a night? Did not Beecher, while gathering in golden shekels on the I'arifio coast, refuse to open his lips lit aid of the yellow fever suflerors, and allow himself to be put to shame by the open-hearted generosity of Bob Inger- soll? Has not that howling jumpin-jack_ the middle-aged "hoy preacher,"" Harri­ son, frequently disgusted the churches by his greedy rapacity? Admonition to newspapers from such a source comes with as good grace as a sermon from an overfed Aldermmi on the si a of gluttony. 3P!-.' 19*Gebhardt. tlie jackass who fol |ow» Mr*.
