Dr. Parkhurst was inspired by knowledge of the fact that vice of the most corrupting sort had habitation in the government of New York city; the Baltimore pastors were moved by a bloody record which showed conclusively that fen- @erless cars had caused more than seventy deaths in a brief period; ministers elsewhere have become practical reformers because they were continually made aware of the eless manner in which officers of the law were neglecting the duties they had sworn srform.

Today doctrinal ttles are conspicuous mainly because they are rare; tne kingdom of heaven on earth seems to be more the ministerial aim. Instead of devoting highiy-trained inteilect to the development or destruction of modes of faith, the preacher of this era inter- mingles the spfritual and the material; deals alike with the finite and the infinite; teaches mortality the selfishness of living for im- mortality alone. The advantages of this y method must be clearly apparent. years the avowedly vicious were permitted control of national and municipal polities for the reason that the possessors of deeply religious convictions did not care to associate even for a little while with those whom they rightly deemed improper persons. Such a state of affairs was satis- factory to the unrighteous; they would have been pieased to let it be. But the religious zeal of today could not be confined within the narrow limits which, for a considerable time, have contained it; those in whose breasts it burned saw the necessity for a vigorous assault upon entrenched depravity which had come to be considered impreg- nable. Of course there has been strenuous objection to the practical application of religious ideas and teachings to everyday existence but most of the objecting has been done by those whose toes were being trodden upon. Decent people—whether members of any religious sect or not—can- not but applaud those ministers who, by precept and example, urge their hearers to active interest in reforms which deal with things that pertain to this life. —- wee ‘The declination of Nathan Straus com- pelled Tammany to remove the mask be- bind which {t has endeavored to hide its repulsive features, Yesterday the corrupt organization had as a leader in the cam- paign mew on a man of good repute, who did not belong to the society, and who was therefore expected to capture the suffrages of meny anti-Tarmany voters. Today Tammat y's candidate for the mayoralty is a Tammanyite in every fiber; a trusted and tried thirty-third degree member of a lar- cenious aggregation to which the feats of Ali Baba and his forty thieves were as but children’s games. As sheriff and as mayor, the nominee who has succeeded Straus— Hugh J. Grant—has drawn salary from New York city and served Tammany. Pub- lic records as to some of Grant's transac- tions with Croker make quite plain the un- desirability of Grant in any offictal capac- ity. During his term as mayor the appoint- ments he made were open to every sort of objection from believers in good govern- ment; It cannot be doubted that he closed to all marner of flagrant dis- It may or may not be that he rectly in the financial spoils, but certain that he permitted the city to it £ be robbed without let or hindrance by the men who bave for the second time set him up as their representative; his weakness and pliability in recom-nendation tion times past was all the he needed for renomina- There was slight possibility of obfus- cation while an apparently decent man like Straus marched at the head of the column, but blundering by the voter will not be possible now that Hugh Grant carries the Tammany banner. So ix men were at work on the city ce building today. Forty-six men possessed of the necessary mental, physical and adhesive qualities might possibly have the structure ready for post-office purposes by July 3, 1898. The average for the week which closes today is forty-three and one- third per day, as against thirty-eight and e-sixth for last week. The average for st three weeks fs thirty-nine and one- third, which, if maintained, ought to result in a firished post office by September 20, TA.

Morton and Hill are justified in woking for a few sympathetic words on this perplexing servant-problem from Sena- tor McPherson. —_ eo An arithmetical question came up in a communication printed in yesterday's Star when a subserider wanted to know how mueh of # reduction there would have to be im the market price of flour before the manufacturing bakers of this city would reduce the price of bread. The prob- fem has unquestionably received a good deal of attention during the past two or three weeks; it will receive much more in the near future. It is an indubitable fact that Jour is now being purchased by the bakers for about one-half of what it cost some three or four years ago. If the re- duction of Atty per cent in the price of flour does not logically call for a reduc- tion in the price of bread, would it be rea- fonable to look for any diminution In the price of the loaf were it rendered possible for the bakers to secure their flour for nothing? One very rash employer admitted to a Star reporter som? time ago that the price of bread could be reduced half a cent @ loaf without jeopardizing the existence of the maker. Using that confession as a basis, it is easy enough to {gure it out that four-cent bread would be possible only in that millenial time whea bakers expect to @et their flour without money and with- out price. But this revelation ic not the only astounding product of the discussion which has attracted so much attention of late. ovedy knows how many people have been surprised at the information that flour was a secondary something in bread; that the sugar and salt and the milk and the lanl—all administered only in homeo- pathic doses—constitute the major portion of the cost. It is not unlikely that several People wiil be persuaded by the manufac- turing bakers that the effort to bring about either a decrease in the price of bread or an increase in the size of the loaf is un- fair and improper to deserving and strug- gling tradesmen, but the average man or woman will decline to believe any state- ments in which is alleged inability to ac- cede to a very popular request. When flour cost twice as much as it does now, the manufacturing bakers were evidently Prosperous. Not unt aturally they are will- ing to be twice as prosperous. But if they desire to be known as reasonable beings they will be gractous enough to permit the purchasiig public to exercise the right of free speech. And the bakers must not grumble if shrewd competitors—satisfied with reasonable profits—secure possession of a considerable percentage of their. cus- tomers. —_+++—_- The new American Association of base- ball clubs which was organized in Phila- delphia on Thursday has a fine opportunity for success and fortune before it if the agree- ment entered into by the members is kept with anything like fidelity. Three articles of this document will uriversally commend the organization to the lovers of the na- tional game, and these are the moderate price of admission to games, the prohibition of the transfer of games from one city to another in defiance of the adopted sched- ule, and the buying or selling of ball-play- ers by or from one club and another. The whole field of possibility in the national championship contest just closed was changed by the purchase of the strong players on the weaker clubs by their richer adversaries. The effect of the sale of Meekin and Farreil to the New York club upon the standing of the Washington nine was admittedly disastrous, taking away from the local club its main strength in playing qualities as well as that inspiring influence that exercised so valuable an ef- fect upon the other men on the team. The wisdom of the new association in deciding to adopt a schedule that will not conflict with that of the League is also commend- able, and if the promoters of the organiza- tion satisfy themselves with being man- agers instead of magnates and devote their attention to giving the public a better qual- ity of the national game, free from the vulgar rowdyism that has, unfortunately, too predominately characterized the cham- pionship series during the last season, they will find the American people appreciative of their efforts to a substantially emphatic degree. Washington is to have a team in this new association, and as it will prob- ably maintain its representation in the Na- tonal League, there will be base ball enough and to spare during the coming summer. — + es ___ In a recent communication to The Star, a man with a grievance protests against the still prevalent feminine habit of wearing large hats to theatrical performances. The cry is without the merit of novelty, but it has, nevertheless, very much to commend it. Newspaper columns without number have been given over to discussion of this subject, yet there is no record of any one having successfully defended the practice complained of. Now, as at other times, there unfortunately exist many people who are entirely careless as to the comfort of others; who imagine—without reasoning why—that their own personal gratification is the only thing to be considered. A few others are merely thoughtless, and these never need more than just one intimation that they are a source of annoyance. The complaints that have of late been registered against the elephantine theater-hat are not as well founded as they were two or three years ago, for there has been considerable reform in this matter, but there is, never- theless, room for very much more of im- provement. Women who toss their heads and frown at this suggestion would do well to figure out how much, or rather how little, of the stage would be visible to them if theater-going man was to wear his hat while the curtain was up. And yet silk hats and sombreros and broad-brimmed straws and any other kind of a hat would be every whit as reasonable and, in a public place such as the theater, no more out of order than those fearful and wonderful and adorable and expensive combinations of nature and the milliner’s art which overtop the heads of theater-going women. — 202 -——_ Da Gama has been toasting revolution doubtless in return for the numerous roast- ings given him by the Brazilian govern- ment. 3m The fact that Mr. Harrison recently made fourteen speeches in one day indicates a wealth of both enthusiasm and material. soe Mr. Tim Campbell proceeds on the prin- ciple that true patriotism is superior to mere partisan prejudice. ee President Cleveland can put up a very fair sphinx exhibit himself upon occasion. ee Autocratic Power Over Allens. From the New York Herald. In the case of ex-Vice President Morton's imported coachman, whose arrest and de- portation had been ordered by Secretary Carlisle, Judge Lacombe, of the United States Court, decided yesterday that a coachman is clearly a domestic servant who may be brought to this country under con- tract, but that the act of Congress makes the Secretary of the Treasury the final judge as to whether any alien is entitled to re- main in this country or liable to be sent back. if that is the law Congress should lose no time in repealing it, since it confers upon one man an autocratic power over per- sonal liberty which is tyrannical, dangerous and repugnant to American sentiment. But notwithstanding Judge Lacombe's de- cision we do not belleve it is the law, for the reason that Congress has no constitu- tional power to authorize the arrest and banishment of an alien on the sole edict of the Secretary of the Treasury without the right of appeal to or interference by the courts. This would simply make a federal executive official in matters involving per- sonal liberty an autocrat above and beyond the reach of the courts. That is not the theory of our government, nor a principle of our constitutional law, We trust that Judge Lacombe’s decision will be reviewed by a higher court. —— ree What Secretary Cartisle (: to Do. From the New York World. Judge Lacombe’s decision in the case of Howard, Mr. Morton’s coachman, leaves the ‘Treasury Department in a worse positioa than before. The judge says: “It is entirely clear that Howard was ‘strictly a personal or domestic servant’ in Mr. Morton's em- ploy,” and is therefore exempt from the operations of the anti-contract labor law. But Inasmuch as the act gives to the Sec- retary of the Treasury the final determin- ation of the question whether or not an im- migrant is a prohibited person, and Mr. Carlisle has decided that Howard ts such a person, there is nothing to do but send him back to England, though it ts clearly against the law. Secretary Carlisle cannot afford to persist in this illegal act simply because he has the power. —__+ += ___ Where Art is Appreciated.

Public irterest has been divided during the past week between the political campaign in New York end the pursuit of the train robbers, participants in the Aquia creek affair. The situation in New York has been complicated even more than it had been by the refusal of Nathan Straus to accept the Tammany nomination for mayor of New York. The anti-Tammany democrats pur- posed putting the names of the straight democratic ticket at the head of their ticket, which names W. L, Strong for mayor. Mr. Straus cbjected, and appealed to Mr. Hill to refuse to allow his name to be thus used, claiming that it would mean a loss of 20,000 votes for himself. Mr. Hill, so it is reported, intimated that he was nominated against his will and that he intended to be elected regardless of Mr. Straus’ ideas of Propciety. The latter thereupon retired. Ex- Mayor Grant has been put in his place. The arrest of Mr. Levi P. Morton’s coachman and his deportation ordered by the Treasury ‘ment as an alien laborer brought here under contract was the event of the week in New York. The court decided that it had no jurisdiction in ihe case, and that the Secretary of the Treasury was the sole judge in the case. Mr. Morton claimed that the man as a domestic servant was exempt under the law. Some democrats have de- plored Mr. Carlisle's action. The myster- jous murder of Montgomery Gibbs, a young Buffalo lawyer, was cleared up by the con- fession of Clarence Robinson and his wife, who tried to rob him. The Lexow investi- gating commitiee in New York continued to expose abuses by the police. A man giv- ing the name of Searcey was arrested at Cumberland, Md., on suspicion of being one of the Aquia creek train robbers, and a man believed to be a companion of his was ar- rested near Cincinnati. The evidence against them is claimed to be strong. A conflict between persons who wanted to lynch a negro named Dolby for assaulting an elder- ly white woman, and the militia, eccurred at Washington Court House, Ohio.
