Very well, tio doubt Legis-latire bodies are necesssry institutions, and taay even be virtuous ben acting in moderation, but their presence is a strong temptation to do thinga that are not needed.

There is no explanation as to why -Cincinnati is skipped. Ir a within the easy political possibilities there will be two candidates from Cincinnati for lb. Republican nomination for Governor next year. Should the machine in this city undertake to run the whole Repub-' lican party in the state, Hamilton County man might be taken up on both sides.

For example, should tbe machine present Mayor the opposition might think it pol-: itic to support Congresaman Stokes.

He was devoted to tbe Governor, as he Is now, and was a member of his military tafT, and he couldn't bear the apertarle of bis distinguished chef being thrown Into a rid.culous position. He knew that the under- taiiciii4c with SeT'tary Kti was that Mrv KiXLir's friends were to vote for Ha aaiaos.

and he saw that k'omxxa was supporting Mr. Kisi.rr only- to humiliate him. Colonel KLriM'HMASK is a pnrtkwl man, and Is quick to strip the veneering from political schemes. Going OsL The gold reserve is tumbling -again. 'Tbe situation is one of grevity.

President Clstve-L4SO, in his annual message to (Xingroa, said subftantisiiy that the Ixind Lue pUin for the maintenance of a stock of gold was not a good one. but it was the beit he knew of un-dir tlie cir uin-tiim e. and his purpose was to keep on borrowing till Conirress should adopt some other mi-ans of- relief. No relief, however, bus been proposed by tbe Ad-luiiiitratioii. No means of escape from the false poailuiii of nuiintaihing gold payments ithout gold to pay with is presented.

Only the stolid determination to keep silver in the background. Has Congress the eon rage todral with this question? The power to iaue bonds is the only means, of keepine up the present false and vicious standard of redemption. The President might not approve a measure depriving the Secretary of ti.e Treasury of the pom er to borrow inouey, but there ought to be 'enough patriotism and in CoriKress to pass a proper bill over the President" a veto, or at least to give a sletjtfe hammer expression of public opinion. The free use of silver as moiiiy ia the only rulief from the present anomalous situation to be found. Let silver be used proportionately for redeeming purposes and "then it will not he iieresary to borrow gold.

Take away the policy and practice makes gold a preferred article and. it it ill flow freely in the channels of trade nnd through the financial operations of the Government. Making more paper money, or changing the form of present paper issues, is not going to dispose of the gold question. Surcjy the credit of the Government, and the soundness of the paper and silver circulation, do not depend on the presumption that all are redeemable in gold. To the man wtio will take a coin Dion sense, practical view of the question, the idea of sustaining all the various sorts of circulating mediums, beginning with SJi6.0lO.0uO in greenbacks, by borrowing money three tg four times a year td keep up a pitiful hundred millions of gold for redeeming fund, must seem absolutely ridiculous.

How is tho situation going to be relieved by a change that is likely to make our paper money less stable than it is? The policy of the present Administration, being the same ae that. of its immediute piedecessor, implies a theory that there must be something substantial behind our proini.es to pay. How on? we to tfvt that "Kiuiething Kutht-r than depend on gold alone, under the present system of borrowing, it would be bitter to suy: "These notes are our promist to pay. We have nothing to redeem them with, but the people have faith in us, and so loug as they are tiot presented for redemption are all right. To you they serve the purpose, of money, and you don't need the coin.

Indeed, the coin would be a nuisance to you, even if we had it to pay. So all you have to do ia to use the paper notes till they wear out, and then brips them in and we will print new notes in the place of them for you. It is cheaper to run the Hu-resu of Engraving and Printing than it is to buy gold; and of course we are too proud to urrenuVr to the bimctallisu and admit that silver is good jooney under the c.n-tiuition and laws of the United States." Either all the old and time-tried theories and practices in finance are wrong or else the present system in the Cnited States is wrong. If a metallic basis for money is necessary, why not tuke'that which we have and which has been a money metal froiu time out of mind and history? AVhy must we cling to something we have not? If a metallic basis is not necessary, why not say so bravely, and not allow the owners of the scarce metal to prey upon the tax payers? Silver, though, oilers the real solution. Declining the Presidency.

A person of the name of It. 8. Alexander. who was District Attorney ior Northern New York under the last Republican Administration, and who is said to have been once the Private Secretary of General HaKUsoM, has beeu visiting his former chief at Indianapolis. He brings away" the story that the General positively declared that he would not anil could not be a candidate for the Presidency in 1K3.

Some very impressive reasons for not wanting the great office of President again are set forth iu this alleged authorized interview. "The very thought," General Harkisok is represented to have said, "of again to change the officials of the country ought of itself to be sufficient to deter any mart who once bad been through the ordeal from wanting to undertake it again." Disrussing the political outlook General Hahhisox is quoted as saying that he believed tbe Republican party would win in 1396. and would.be called upon to face and settle the currency question, which he regarded as one of the greatest difficulties, as well as one of the highest importance. He thought the Treasury Department would get very tired of maintaining a gold standard by paying interest on bonds issued for the purchase of gold. Wi are not surprised to see a dispatch, published, almost coincideutly with the Alexander interview, denying that General Hxaxi-soa said anything to Mr.

Alxiaxdeb or anybody else that would bind him as to the next Presidential nomination. AVe take It. though, tliat he has been correctly reported as to the difficulties of the financial question and the unsatisfactory results of toe bond Troublesome as the Chief Executive position is, everybody wants it. -Even those who have gone through tour years of it are anxious to duplicate the burden. The late Mr.

Hayes may have been au exception to this rule, hut he assumed the Presidency with convictions and intentions that he knew wonld keep him out of a second term. by all the usual signs, is a candidate for renominatiotu He is a man of distinguished ability and of uncommon skill and foresight in political management. If he gains the nomination and and has read an interview with Senator Sbemias, published in The E.iqcieee recently, he will know how to reduce the embarrassment of tbe Presidential office to the minimum. Mr. Sukuiak spoke of the impression which seemed to govern the present President that be was the whole Administration and the whale Government, and wisely and clearly pointed' oat the fact that the intention was that the.

President should occupy a position somewhat similar to that of a moderator. He is not the boss and director of affairs. He is a part of the governmental establishment, not all of it The legislative and judicial branches are coord iuate with the-'executiva, and the President is not even the whole of the executive department, just as tha Vice President of the L'tiiied State 2s not tbe whole of the United States Senau because he presides over that body. Of course the legitimate individual powers of the President are much greater than those of the Vice President, but there ia a strong enough likeness to serve for a pertinent illustration. A Cabinet officer ia not exclusively tha cxeatioa of tha Preiilnt The Senate most have a asy a boot ho shall serve as bends of the Important drpartmecU.

aad rejections- of nominations for these places) are cot isolated case. The word Cabinet. In the Governmental connection, is a term of convenience. The Secretaries of Treasury. War, Navy, Ac, are not merely advisers of the President, They are the chief men in their respective fields and are responsible to Congre4 and the people.

Congress may confer power directly upon them. Indeed, as we Lave frequently silted in these column, the power to iwue bonds the Government resides solely, under the law, in the Secretary of the Treasury, and the President can assert himself in the matter only through influence with the Secretary, or Ly holding the ax over his bead. Mr. Shebbasi, with charming candor, said in his interview that General Hakbisox had been a President not wholly unlike Mr. Ci.rvri.i5i), in thit each one of these gentlemen wanted to run everything himself.

He said that he would not have served as a Cabinet officer under President Uabbisos. Here is a text which Mr. Habkisox. Mr. Cleveland and every other public man might study with profit.

The AduiitiKratiuus in this country which have been great have had great Ministries. In the Cabinet of Wu-rvoTos were Thomas Jiptibsos: and Am-txuxB Hamiltox. Jefteksox called to his aid such historic personage as Javes Mao-uox, Ai.ti KT Gall.vtix and Hesoy 1eabibx. Mamsox had Mokroe and Pinckxey. James Moxboe, the author of tbe Monroe Doctrine, had Johx yciscr Adams for his Secretary of State, and Joiix Calhocx was at tbe head of the War Department.

Look at the names of some of those in the Cabinet of Andrew Jal-ksox, Maktln Vax Bleex, Edward LivisusTOK. Lewis Cass. Amos Kespau. and Kix.ek B. Tasey.

Lixcols had Sewabd, Chare, Fuse.ndev. McCulloch, Sikox Caj-sbos. Siasion, Hlaik, Ac. Look on that picture and then on this: Take Blaixb out of Hakmsox's Cabinet, and what was left? What a sorry spectacle is the official family of Gboye Cleveland when Carlisle goes out to lunch! And we are obliged to sorrowfully confess that it isn't what it used to be, even with Carlisle in it. Tbe President's nostrums in finance would debilitate anybody.

Even so able a man as General Haruisox can learn a lesson from experience, and from the wisdom of such a sage as Johv Shermax. If he reaches the Presidency again he have a much easier time than he hat in bis first term. He can distribute; the burden of making appointments, lie can spread out the awful responsibility of changing the oi-ttceholders over the departments of eight qualified men. All he need to' do is to sign nominations. Clerk Pbtdkh will do the rest.

Of course he wiil want a first-class man at the head of each executive department. The organizers of our Government and the framersof our constitution never intended that the President should work himself to death, and the people of to-day are willing that he shall have a great deal of rest. Even for per annum we cannot expert to get a President who is thoroughly versed in diplomacy aud familiar with all the details of international law; who comprehends the financial system and is intimately acquainted with all the numerous duties of the Secretary of the Treasury; who knows all about war and ships and armament and the Indians; who can do the business of the Department of Justice "of evenings," and whocuucoUectstatistics, write essays on the potato bug aud the hog cholera, and do all other things that are intended to be distributed through eight grand divisions. The President who cannot put the great body of the work and trouble on other people is not tit to be President. The President ho insists on minutely bossin- everything himself is sure to have a poor ahincL Paralyze It.

Washington Of course, the best thing to do as regards the Income tax is to repeal it finally and completely, f-'uch an act ould reflect credit on the Democratic party, and go far toward dissipating the cloud of distrust and disapproval under which that organization now lan-guMiesj The measure is one which should never have been adopted. It is un-Democratic and un-American. It establishes a distinction not contemplated In the organic law or sanctioned by the spirit of our institutions. It creates two classes of citixens one class that contributes directly to the support of the (Government, and another that does not. It represents the prejudice of the poor against tho rich, and exemplifies the animosity of the shiftless toward the industrious and the provident.

It ts the first step of legislation on the road to anarchy and social chaos. The Democratic party is for it, and tbe Democracy abould make confession and do penance by unloading that responsibility lthout delay. Hon. Franklin Cartlett's bill to repeal the income tax isa good thing. Puh it along I Are They Hypnotised? Atlaota Constitution.

So far as the people are concerned they are helpless In the matter. The men they elected to look after their interests are engaged in carrying out Republican treasury policy invented in the Interests of the money power. The Congress the people elected to legislate in their behal appears to be in a hypnotic condition, without energy or patriotism. The purchasing power of patronage has been effective In all directions. Where is there a Democratic leader, worthy of the occasion, who is ready to stand up in the House or in tbe Senate and protest in the name of a robbed and plundered peopleT He Is not to be found.

He has been purchased by patronage, or he has been overpowered by the enemies of the people's prosperity. It Is a pitiful spectacle in all respects Congress hypnotized or purchased by patronage the money power alert, keen, watchful, energetic and aggressive the money kings determined that tney shall have their way. Merely a Wast e. (Washington Post, It appears to us that under such circumstances ordinary rules can hardly be said to apply. The income tax clauses of the tariff law are now in almost universal disfavor.

Public opinion has' been aroused by intelligent 'discussion and tbe people's conscience touched. It is not as though the measure needed only financial recognition to give it life and force. The fact is that no amount of such recognition will save it from repeal by tbe Fifty-fourth Con areas. To appropriate money for its execution is. therefore, merely to waste it, and to withhold the appropriation is to adopt arf expedient of simple economy and common sense.

Tbe law should be repealed by the Fifty-third Congress, undoubtedly. For tbe credit of the Democratic party the majority should grace its dying momenta by this act of courage and propriety. But the law ts dead in any event, and no good end can be served by wasting money on it, Chronic Deficit. (New Orleans Tuuea-Driaeerat. It seems, therefore, that even the most hopeful view of the financial situation can see nothing ahead but deficits for a year and a half; and the chances are that these deficits will continue even longer; and this they will certainly dif there is any foolish tinkering by the present Congress with tbe present tariff In the way of reducing duties.

It is a bad habit to get into, that of annual deficits, for it is one which, once contracted, it Is difficult to get rid of, and we may drift into the condition of Italy and similar countries being chronic defaulters.

MISLEADING lie ports of Japanese Outrages at Port Arthur. WASHtNOTON, D. December 16. A telegram has been received at the Japanese Legation In relation to the- atrocities alleged to have been committed by the Japanese at the capture of Port Arthur, The Government at Tukio Is nor yet In possession of full details of the affair, but the Information already at band shows conclusively that some of the reports which have been clrculatei concerning the conduct of tbe Japanese troops are exaggerated and misleading.

If there was any unnecessary bloodshed the Japanese Government cannot but believe that there must have been some inciting cause, for the behavior of the Japanese troops has hitherto been most exemplary, at times under circumsancca calculated to excite feeling of the deepest resentment and animosity. It ts known to be a fait that the great majority of those Chinese who were killed at Port Arthur were peaceful Inhabitants, but Chinese soldiers disguised In civilian dress.

This was tha announeemect ol Chairman Lexow. "The revelations to come this said the Senator, "will be of far greater importance aud more7 startling in their character than the Creedon testimony. That is all I care to say at this moment about what is going to "Will Mr. Croker testify?" "All I car to say about Mr.

Evelyn Bell, who kept a notorious bouse in Thirty-sixth street for many years, and who fled to Orange.

Ehe was arrested in Orange lu: week, and when she ascertained that the committee had the power to bring her to tbe city and punUh her for contempt, sbe declared her -willingness to come voluntarily and teU what sbe knew about police blackmail.

A FIERCE DOG Figured in the Capture of a Sacri- ligious Thief. nciAL to tmb asaciaaa. Nbw Yobk. December 16. The Rev.

George Kau pert, rector of the Church of the Annunciation, at North Fifth and Havemyer streets. Williamsburg, had a startling experience with a burglar last night. A mongrel hound, which had been hanging about the church premises for several months past, also figured In the capture of the burglar. After Father Kaupert had flnUhed his con-fe-slonal work late last night and ictt the edifice tbe servants from the orient's residence across tbe yard went into the church to extinguish the lights. While thus engaged they heard a loud racket in the cnoir loft, followed by fierce growls, together with a man's voice.

The domestics ran vhrleking from tbe church ana aroused Father Kaupert. In the meantime a man dashed down the steps leading from the choir loft with the dog in pursuit. The man made straight for the front door, and tried to push back the The dog attacked him from the rear, tearing his troucrs aud lacerating his legs in a terrible manner. Father Kaupert, who bad hurriedly dressed, entered the church and confronted the burglar, lie was armed with a revolver, and after calling oft the dog compelled the man to walk in front of him to the parochial residence, where he was closely guarded while one of the assistant priests summoned a policeman, who arrested him. He described himself as Richard Daly, and tbat he lived with hi mother at No.

A Jimmy left by him was found beneath a mat when the organ loft was searched. Father Kaupert was seen to-day and said he was more startled over the presence of the dog than the burglar. The poor boxes in the church have been robbed several times. The dog to-day received considerable petting from the parishioners, several of whom have offered to keep nim.

The dog, however, cannot be coaxed from the churchyard. SEEMS STRANGE. Husband and 'Wife Looking For Each ither in Vain. fiPSrfAl WIMTfll TO TKR SVQI'lftfta. Columbus, December 16.

The guests at the United States Hotel are agitated over a strange case In which It seems that a separated husband and wife' are traveling around a circle In a vain attempt to get together. A man of about 80 years, and good appearance, arrived at the hotel November 20, and registered as "William Page, Gallon, Ohio." Within a very few days It developed that Page was broke. He was allowed to remain about the place by charity until November 20. when he obtained a railroad ticket from City Infirmary Director Barey, and left for his home. The fallowing night a young woman of medium size, dark complexion and fairly well dressed, and a gentleman of dark complexion, rather fashionable appearance and about 25 years old, arrived at the same hotel.

They registered as "Mrs. Wm. Pace, Ft. Wayne, and Wm. Smith, Ft.

Wayne." The young woman said she was in search of ber husband, and upon having the guest who arrived a week before described to her. stated that he was her other half. The mission of Mr. Smith was not apparent from his actions, and so far as any one about the hotel could discover he and the lady were not even acquainted, although they arrived simultaneously from the sam place. They' were never seen together after their arrival, but left about tha same time on the morning of the 28th.

To-day Pae returned to the hotel, and stated that upon arriving at his home he found his wlfe absent and came back to Columbus to And her, as he had learned that she was in search of him. None of the parties to the affair will throw any additional light, and every one at the hotel is mystified. Page ts still here, evidently looking for his wife.

Seeley, the National Shoe and Leather Bank bookkeeper, looked up the Ludlow Street Jail, charged with stealing: 8354,003, saw bis wife to-day for the first time- since he abandoned his home on November 16 and fled to Chicago. His wife has been very ill since bis flight, and the prisoner's chief anxiety has been for her, for the pair are devotedly attached. Before allowing Mrs.

Seeley to see ber husband. Keeper James K. McMahon went through the formality of announcing to Seeley. who was in the reception room, that his wife and brother-in-law desired to see him. Tbe prisoner arose from his chair, grasping its back to steady himself.

Hie nervousness was so great that it was nearly a minute before he found voice ti say: "My wife here, please, quick, admit ber." A few moments, later they were sobblnglin each other's embrace. The evening was well advanced before Mrs. Seeley- went away. Another sad seen was enacted at their parting. The two clung to each other for a long time without saying a word, and then, moaning and supported by ber brother, the woman walked slowly oat of the room.

Its second to worry snd stand off Industry and business, and Its third Is to take up the President's two recommendations to dismantle the ship yards and shuf-fla th currency aad banking. It had not thought of doing either of these last things till a few days ago. and tt Is ready to knock out money and wildcat a new system of political baaks la the remaining few weeks of this fa end session. Its silliness is equal to tu Impudence." So said a Western merchant with whom I dined yesterday to his Representative. The Representative returned: That's only Bill Sprisger.

Bill Is one of those St. Vlttis's dance men, who thinks be is ordained to carry out every practical iota. He starts off at every race befor th horses are placed. Crisp removed him from tbe Chairmanship of Ways and Hears to make him Chairman of Backing and Currency. He let him down from the former to put up little Wilson, the tremulo orator, and made Springer, who hasn't financiering sense enough to locked up In a burglar proof safe with money and keep it.

the moderator and Instigator of all our monetary legislation and contriving. Holman he also deposed, and made Bayers the Appropriation Chairman. We lost Hoiman's reputation for economy and got Wilson's and Springer's reputations for raising revenue and regulating money and banks. The people know all about these members of Congress. They turned us all out of school because we had such schoolmasters." "Now," said the merchant to his Congressman, a Democrat, "you know that it was your President who did every one of these things.

Cleveland would not let Crisp be elected till he had callod him up and ORDERED COMMITTEES To be bo constituted and these particular measures to be given right of way. Cleveland had Wilson made the principal man on th floor, and Carlisle had Springer put over Backing and Currency, and Cleveland's message only week before last uaed this language as to Carlisle's hastily digested and amateur plan of currency: 'I content myself with an unqualified indorsement of the Secretary's proposed changes in the law." Now," added the merchant, "do you suppose Cleveland knew what he waa talking about?" "Of course not," said the Representative. "You might as well propound a plan of banking to a hard-shell revival preacher. Carlisle does know something about theoretical banking and currency, but Cleveland nothing whatever. Taken together, they are like the two old chaps In Dickens who tried to form a literary mutual admiration society by reading The Rise and Fall Off the Roman When you add Springer as the forwarder of the joint production In Congress you reach the exalted heights of opera bouffe financiering.

It la like the distilling of the celebrated lotion to disenchant the lugubrious valley by Don Quixote, Sancho Panza and the lunatic." 'Then why does Congress again strain the country by menacing Its one Rveure thing the system of banking? Kvery note of tbe banks Is secured. The system of banks linked together for mutual protection la the bulwark of our solvency. They have fought, off three panics since IBShJ. They weathered tha Barings panic to the admiration of the nations. They hold up bravely against the collapse of of railroad property.

They take Secretary Carlisle's loan at a premium, so that he MAKES MONET TOR THE GOVERNMENT By putting It in debt. Why. tn a session of only two months more, does Congress consume Its reprieve and the public wonder by passing a revolutionary banking and currency act?" "Because they are out of a Job. Six Southern men. this John-the-Baptist-fellow Warner, of New York, and Springer and Connecticut 8 perry, defeated or retired Northern members, made up tbe 6 to 8 In the Springer committee.

They propose to talk all the week and vote on Friday four days to alter the money of a hemisphere not time enough to bake a kiln of bricks." "But Is there any probabllty or any such bill passing?" "No. But the President has recommend ed it. The Secretary is proud of It. The Chairman of Finance In the Senate, Voor-hees. Is Mr.

Carlisle's friend. The Secretary of tbe Treasury came to the support of the Senate conservatives on sugar and other measures of the tariff. These are collusions enough to scare some people, but the Senate has resolved not to do business this session. Springer Is the active Instrument to bring the- question forward In the House. He has been In Congress 18 years.

Carlisle was In Congress and the Senate IB years. You see that experience Is not always a guide. Mr. Cleveland did John Carlisle a grievous Injury by taking him out of deliberative and putting him Into formu-latlve life. The man is poor, he has a present admiration In Kentucky, and some chance to be re-elected to the Senate thence.

Probably he projects this plan to assist that home admiration, as It has been announced that he means to stump Kentucky on this programme of banking." "But," said the merchant, "they are pushing at him all over the South his free-silver speeches." "Oh, yes," said the Congressman. "CARLISLE IS a I-OLITIOIAN. He has defended what was brought to him to defend. and the Louisville school put him on to free trsde. It may be that some of the Illinois Democratic financiers have steered Carlisle on this track.

It offers large chances for scheming In state banks to politicians out of a Job under a Secretary of the Treasury who might favor "He goe a long ways." said the mer chant, "to do a very easy thing. What he wants to do Is to get clear of his unfunded currency, which Is a debt Hke a due bill, not bearing Interest, yet it ought to be paying interest, as part of it was borrowed 3o years ago. Carlisle wants to get rid of that floating greenback and legal tender debt, which, being payable for all Government dues, except Interest on the bonds, subtracts and sklna down his gold reserve. He also pays his gold out for current expenses, through" shortsighted ness In crowding his tariff pontics through before he waa ready with a surplus of revenue. He ought to be paying Interest on that 466, 000.000 of due bills be has out over time, but his timidity and his record prevent him funding those greenbacks and legal tenders Into low-rate bonds, so as to push them out of the way.

He saves OU0.000 interest by not funding them at per cent. He goes al around the ques tion to create a new system of state and national banks, which shall buy those due bills up and bury them In tbe Treasury or in the vaults of his new hanks. It is tbe Eugene Aram system of hiding the skele ton and effects of the murdered man in a cave and scattering to consult the stars. They are bound to be discovered at last." "Sure," said the Congressman, "but Carlisle's want of backbone makes him think the public creditor Is his own creditor. He Is A OOOD DEAL, LIKE dAinXLO In that.

The people where we live are not afraid to borrow money when they are In debt and to borrow enough." Just o. said the merchant- "It la no disgrace to borrow money on good secur ity like that of the United States. Mr. Car lisle can sell plenty of bonds whldh the people want, in such a way that the bankers cannot get them, aad his legal tenders. Ac, will pay for these bonds and can be destroyed aa evidence of debt.

Then be could keep his gold, if he had revenue enough for current expenses, which he say he will have oat of the Income tax. In excess. If so, his due bills can be farther retired and destroyed. But to create a wilderness of political banks and Innate- rood paper with bad. In order not to run short of cold.

Is financial awkwardness hke that of Klchard who. wnm ne pruuuaea to pay a Mil, carefully took down the creditor's number aad street with the subeeauent remark: TKn street's cloaed. I tell you." concluded the merchant, "thai the solvent baaks of this country cannot be compelled to guarantee me roomy ok air. s-ariieie wna-cax nanaa. Tbat is tbe whole question of cheap money.

If it ts pressed as a Democratic measure It wiil leave the country without either banks or currency, aad there will be only one political party In th land." GaxsL A SEXTON Without Any Sentiment He Sajs Salvation in New York Comes Hib, And Unceremoniously Ejects People From the Chnrch Wto Don't Own Pews. srscut sisrAVes vss Qn ass. NswYokx, liecember 15. Th wealthiest and most fashionable church In New York City is St. Thomas Church, on Fifth avenue, near tbe Yanderbilt palaces.

Th religious services are artistic, esthetic and exclusive. Iu sexton, h. W. Williams, taa dictator whose methods are sometimes jun pleasantly crude. A Sunday or two ago Mis L.

Humphrey, of Ham field, entered an unoccupied pew and was on ber kuees at prayer when Williams made her arise and leave tbe church. On tb same day and at the tame service be ejected Mrs. George W. Moore, wife of the prominent I'etrolt lawyer of that name. he was here on a viit.

When tbe sexton was asked to-day about Mrs. Moore's ejectment aud whether ha had not placed his hand roughly on her with these words i "This is not your pew. and don't you come into It again until you are invited. Get out," he taid: "Yes. sir.

perfectly true. But putting people out is an ordinary occurrence. V. bat right have people to come into this church and sit In a pew they don't pay fort Would they do it in a theater? There is Just this much about this seat St. Thomas Church is a close corporation of rich people who have combined and engaged a minister to preach to them, for which they agree to pay hiiu so much.

They want him to rave them, and they are willing to par SxM) to Sc'JiO to be saved comfortably, and it is not fair they should have to pay thU and then have to stand in the vestibule or kneel on th boards while some one who cannot or will not pay is kneeling on the soft cushions of their pew snd enjoying it. I'm here to see this does not happen." "But, Mr. Williams, we are not in tbe habit of associating business and salvation in such close communion; it is unusual." "Yes. that la very well in sentiment, and if I ere a good enough Christian 1 might be lieve in this nihbih about the rich and poor being saved together, but I am not, and never hall be. probably.

This is a pew church, and the only way to make people understand tt is to put them out a few times, I put out 2u people last Sunday. "Then you have no free pews for visitors? "Oh, yes, up in hat we call the north win there are some pews. You can't see anything from them, but If people are really devout I gues thev can go there ad keep quiet and bear all they want to." "You do not care to encourage outsiders coming in? "I'll tell you aliout that. Never until God's salvation reaches this earth in a different way than it does at and reconciles the lady with a silk flounce to being saved alongsideof a woman ith a gingham dress, ahull we en courage outsiders. Thst time will, be the millennium and it will never come.

Free salvation Is a failure. We rent our pews and they bring us in between ciS.OOoand per year." "Then if I wanted to hire a'seat I could not do so?" "There are always pews to rent people who are going away and want to realize something for their seats. We always have that sort of thing to rent. Our people pay a big price for practically Sundays, for that about all they get. They only come here half the time.

Well, you see, that makes each Sunday pretty expensive and they want their pews a hen they come. You have no idea what a lot of people try to get salvation for nothing." WINTER'S WORK Which Republican Senators In Indi ana Are Now Arranging. srsciAL pisrATcn to ths raoeiaaa I.vdiakapoli.s, Iiecemler li. The Penatc Committee, the member of which will have In charge the political legislation of tbe com ing seion of the Legislature, will meet here during the next few days. Their work is almost finished.

All that remains is formal action in committee and then the report in the r-nate for final action when that body convenes. It is quite likely that Senator Shivcly will endeavor to interfere with all plans regarding the aDpolntmeiit of Police Commissioner. The Senator is preparing a bill empowering the Mayor and Courts in each city, ouuide of Indianapolis, Lafuyettte and Ft. Wayne to select foilce Hoards wherever the metropoli tan system ia in vogue. It is his idea and be will have quite a following that the chief executives of the various cities are largely held responsible for the actions of their police officers and that they should therefore have a voice in the selections.

He will present bis bill to tbe Legislature whether or not it has the indorsement of the leaders, and is confident of it going through all right. The gentlemen preparing the nw apportionment bill lor tbe state have finished the districting so far as is concerned the election of members of the House of Representatives. They are now engaged in arranging the Senatorial districts. Congressional districts will follow, they expecting to be through with their work before the Legislature meets. Tbe bill will be gone over carefully by tbe attorneys supposed to be posted in the matter In order that there may be no legal breaks In the construction of tb bills.

In the gathering of Senate committees this week the Democratic members will not participate. They boldthat the Lieutenant-Governor alone may name tbe Senate committees and for that reason will take no band In legislative work of tbe character proposed until Mr. Sye has had bis say as presiding officer of the Senate.

"The Investigation has resulted In' much good, but I am afraid that the work of Kev. Parkhurst aud bis associates will serve to cause a reaction this fall. There Is a large element In New York that likes to drink beer on Sunday. Such methods hsve been resorted to that it Is hard to get a drink.

Traveling meo have come to the city to spend Sunday, and many persons, yes. come to New York jut to have a good time.
