Publicity in such & matter brings the issue to the test, and publicity, which secured wide attentionto theinsufficiency of the charge: ended the movement. now le calmly examined and treated in an admoni- tory In the attsck was an inspiration opposed to genuine Americanism. At bottom tle objections to Judge McKenna were based upon his self-culture 2nd the tact that from his childhocd to this nioment he has been bravely reliant upon himself for his advancement in life. Without a wealthy or pcwerful patron, with no inheritea material resources, with as blesk a start in life as any Ameri- can boy ever made, he has never from the beginning taken a false step nor a backward one. A consistent member of his perty, he was allied to none of its various machines nor found h any of its bos<es. For personal advancement in public life he depended solely upon his cwn presentation of the yrinciples of his party and his cavac ty to educate the people into their adcption. When sentiment was against those prin- ciples he was tolerant 1o its manifestations, but continued his campaign of education with un earrestness and fairness which did not fail at last to bring victory to him and his party. Ob- jection was made that he had been in potitics. Pray, what men were more in politics prior to their elevation to the bench than Taney, Chase, Levi Wocdbury, David Davis, John M. Harlan, Lamar, Howell Jackson, E. D. White or Peckbam? It is not that a man has been in politics, but his bearing therein. It is a pecnliarity of American politics that it cal!s for law- yers, and great lawyers, too. This is not the casein England, where every act of Parliament is a part of the constitution and where there is no written fundamental law. Here we have the system of written constitutions, Federal and State, and rarty issues and legislative acts must be dis- cussed and considered in the light of their conformity to those written instruments. This involves continual construction and interpretation of the constitut on in politics and legisla- tion, and is & necessary invitation to lawyers to enter politics and bring training in the rules of legal consiruction into the discussion of policies and laws. Hence it is that in politics a lawyer has a great field in which to display the judicial mind. Therefors a mau may give the highest evidence of judicial fitness In the most active participation 1n politics. All men who recall Judge Me- Kenna's career will remember tnat through it all he showead the even working of a mind judicially poised. Those who have known him best know that he would not have hesitated to an- tagonize a policy of bis own party if it were flagrantly in- capabie of reconciliation to the just principles of constitutional construction. Itisin essence a training for the bench to have been in that fashion in politics, and for that reason wise men inthe Presidency have never hesitated to take men with long re cords iu active politics for the banch. NATIONAL DEFENSES. EPORTS from Washington are to the effect that compar- atively small appropriations wiil be made this year tor navy const ‘defenses. Leading members of both houses are quoted as saying the increase of the navy wilj vrobably be limited to one battle-ship and a few torpedo-boats and expenditures for defenses will be reduced much below the amounts asked for by the administration. It may spirit. trading and Several reasons are assigned for the vroposed reductions. The controversy between the Government and the manufac- turers over the cost of armor plate has caused many members of Congress to hesitate about providing for more armored ships until the plate can be obtained on bztter terms. The lack of sufficient docks to care for the ships already built has influ- enced others, and the lack of trained artillerymen to handle thg guns of the coast batteries now erected is urged asareason why po turiner batteries should be establis hed until the artil- lery arm of tue militery service has been increased sufliciently to man them. In additi n to the reasons cited there is the further one that in the opinion of many Congressmen the expenditures of tue Governmentshould be limited to strictly necessary works until the deficit caused by the Democratic depression shall have been paid cff and the revenue of tlie country restored to the normal Republican basis. It is regarded 2s well assured that two regiments of artillery wili be added to the army, the enlist ment of a thousand additionsl men in the navy will be authorized and s me of the docks recommended by Secretary Long will be provided, but very little more in the way of ccast defense or naval increase will be undertaken. This being the tone and temper which prevail in Congress, itisa gross absurdity to enter npon any scheme for annexing Hawaii. If we cannot afford coast defenses on our own shores we certainly cannot afford them on an island 2000 miles away, 1f we must delay the fortification of ports where we alread y own the ground on which to e:ect the batteries, it would be iolly to assume the Hawaiian debt of $4 030,000 snd then ex- pend znother large sum to fortify Honolulu. The great naval, station the British have erected at Esqui- mait and the strong batteries they have constructed to defend it constitute the only point from which the Pacific coast of the United States need fear ageression, and no guard against that aggression would be afforded by forts or navy-yards at Hawaii. We need a lurger navy, better navy-yards, more batteries and more guns along our own shores; and until we areable to pro- vide for them on a scale commensurate with the importance of our coast cities the expenditare of money on far-off islands would be a military folly of the wors! kind. —_— The re-election of Chief Lees did not come to him in the nature of a surprise. When he kissed and made up with Commissioner Gunst he was not doing it just for fun, or because of the winning nature of Gunst If the spectacular svicide realized what a tiresome exhibi- tion bis exit constituted, in pity for the rest of the world, who can’t help noting the display, he would consent to live for pisy’s sake if nothing else, ‘What an opportunily for greatness President McKinley overlooked in not announcing that he had changed his mind and no longer regarded the looting of Hawaii as statesmanship, Final adjudication of the Biythe property has occurred again.

It is understood that the attorney objects. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. ONSEKVATISM is the dominant characteristic of the President’s message. Iiocontains nothing of a nature to disturb the business interests of ths country, and much to sirengthen and promote the airsady well-advanced movement toward prosperity. There wiil be, of course, d.flerences of opinion concerning the recommendations made in rezard to the main issues of the time, and some of them are justly sub- joct to criticism even from the most loyal Republicans, butin the main the message will be read with gratification and approval. The President begins by congratulating the country upon the disappearance from our politics of sectionalism and the parti- sanship that grew ont of sectional antagonism. Hethen enters at once uvon consideration of the pressing issues of the time and puts currency reform first among the acts to be expected of this session of Congress, this constituting the salient and most important feature of his recommendations concerning strictly domestic policies. The Cuban question is elaborately reviewed and the an- nouncement made that, while the administration does not deem it ad visab'e atthis time to recognize either the inde- pendence or the belligerency of Cuba, it wilt carefully guard the rights of American cit'zens endangered by the waranid ase earnest efforts to bring about a speedy restoration of peace on terms that will be just and honorable to both Spain and Cuba. As was foreseen, the President recommends the annex- ation of Hawaii, but charges Congress to provide for it in| such a way as to prevent the “‘abrupt assimilation of e\lemanls perhaps hardly yet titted to share In the highest franchises of citizenship.” Recognition is given to the importance of an early com- pletion of the Nicaragua canal, but recommendations in regard to it are cefcrred unul the commission appointed to make surveys, plans and estimates shall have zejorted. The work‘ of the monetary commission appointed to ne.otiate an inter- | national conference on the silver question is commended, and the President expresses the earnest hope that “their labors may result in an international agreement that will bring about recognition ot both gold and siiver as money upon such terms and with such safeguards as will secure the use of boih metals upon a basis which shall work no injustice to any class oi our citiz»ns."’ Rapidly, but with sutficient fullness to make his recom- mendations clear and comprehensible, the President deals | with the issues involved in the organization ot Alaska, recip- rocity, the upbuilding of our merchant marine, the protection of the seal fisheries, the increase of the navy and coast defen the Paris expositicn, the debts of the Pacific railroacs, tue controversy with the Greater Republic of Central America over the appointment of Minister Merry, the conditions of Indian Territory and the improvement of the civil service. Comparatively few of the recommendations of the Presi- dent involve issues ot party politics. Nearly all of them are matters to whose consideration the people will come with | impartial minds. It is in that way THE CALL wili discuss | them in detail, each as it arises, until they are finally settlea, For the present it is sufficient to say the President has added to our record of Presidential state papers a strong and aple document, and even those who disagres with his recommenda- tions will find in its earnestness and its vigor unmistakable evidences of his genuine statesmanship and thorough Ameri- canism. G thwart the adoption of a charter for this city are being | made public. An account of the difficulty among Mr. Buckley's “business men,” published in THE CaLL of Sunday, gives tie people a clear insight into the plans of the associated | ainies for bringing the proposed charter into disrepute. It | is evidently the intention to produce by foul means the public aisgust necessary to render the-defeat of any instrument cer- tain. The Buckley Democrats, who now call themselves the “Citizens’ Democratic Party,” took part in the last campaign | as “anti-charter Democra's.” Not only did they openly op- | pose the adoption of the charter submitted at the election of 189 but they ran an anti-charter candidate for Mayor upon an | anti-charter platform. These Democrats are managed by | Chris Buckley. They comprise the remnant of the political | machine with which be formerly ruled the city, but which | went 1o pieces upon his indictment by the Wallace Grand | Jury and his flight to Europe. | Recorder Glynn is Mr. Buckley's stage manager. Helis | charged by some of his own ‘“business men” with having | turned’their organization over to the Eraminer in consideration RADUALLY the details of the corporation conspiracy to | of future support ty that sheet. As the latter is deocnling} the election of the Freeholders’ ticket nominated by the Citi- | zens’ Charter Convention, the first contract fulfilied by Mr. Glyon has been the indorsement by the Buckleyite: of a por- tion of that ticket. This indorsement hss produced an open revolt. Totie credit of some of the “business men” it must | be said they object to an allience with the yellow journal. | They know that t. at tneet is a confidence organ; they know that it will sell them to the associated villanies just as it sold | its rezders to the Eouthern Pacific; (hey know that it must | have some job in supporting the charter convention Freehoid- | ers, for it never drew an honest brea:h in its life, and so they | have revoited against Mr. Glynn’srule. Being *‘business men’ the Buckley Democrats are too clever to be fooled by the vellow sheet. How this Democratic difficulty resulls, however, is of little consequence. The combatantsare few in number and possess small influence. But the trouble they are now fomenting is of | inestimable significance to the public. Itdemonstra es to one | who reads between the lines that the Ezaminer is at the bead of | a corporation conspiracy to defeata new charter; thatin or- der to carry out its nefarious contract—for which, doubtless, it will, in due time, receive a fat fee—it does not scrujle tounite with Boss Buckley and his “business men,” of whose meetings it is now giving long and respectful reports; that it is support- ing the Freeholders of the Charter Convertion merely to give its movement & respectable flivor; that, in short, it is putting | up a job on the people not only to defeat any charter, but to besmiich and discredit the decent men of the Citizens’ Com- mittee who are accepting its offices. The burning question now before the public is th do the members of the Charter Commi t:e of One Hundred pro- pose to do about it? Are they willing to accept the support of | | i the Ezaminer and the Buckley Democrats without quastioning | their motives in forcing themselves into respectable society ? Do they wish the people to understand that this disrepurable sheet is their acknowledged organ? Is their campaign for re- form to be made on the basis of a $30,000 contract for editorial silence? The public is anxiously awaiting answers to these ques:ions. The members of the Citzens’ Committee cannot expect anybody to vote their ticket until they bave either an- swered them or repudiated the leadership of the scurvy crowd which is now heading their movement. Cubans are a<sured by Spain that theautonomy granted them is a first-class article, warranted not to rip, ravel or tear, but somehow they do not seem to credit it. This lack of faithis not to be wondered at. Spanish cfficials bave been lying ever since the war began, and if they expect to be believea now they must give a tond. Not that a prize-fighter is of any importance save as a nuisance to be abated, yet Sharkey’s recent remark that he has whipped every man on the earth worth whipping does excite intere . How he happened :o do this without anybodv having fouad it out is well nigh inexplicable. —_—— Boys in Cincinnati schools are being taught how to cook, Perhaps this is a good idea.

The recent experiences of Prince Max of Sax- ony in the rauks of missioners in tho East-end of London have drawn attention to the fact that he is not the first, even in modern days, of princes who have taken to the ministry of the church as their life’s work. Prince Max of Saxony comes from an ola Casholic family, and came to work among the large band of German Catholics in the Whiteenapel district. Speaking both German and Enaglish fluentiy, he has bean of great ser- vice 10 stzanded foreiguers in that cvercrowd- ed part of Loudon. His sermons are of an average iength, extempore of course, persua- sive and indicative of much thought. There is un exsmpe oi an Engiish Princy becoming a ciergyman. Cardinal Yorke, the eminent Roman Catholle prelate, who died in 1809, was the son of tue O.d Pretender, James Ed ward Stuart, sud hence the grandson o. our JemesIL He was the inst Prince, direct and Jegitimate, of the Stuart family, but gave up | his poiitical life and ambitious 10 work for the | Catnolic church as a priest, and finally be- | came a cardinal. One of the most effac'ive of the roval preach- ors of to-day is Prince Oscar, nephew of the King of Sweden, who has joined the Salvation Army division in_that country. Botn he and h's wife, the Prince-s, conduct meetings in th: open air in Stockholm and elsewnere, which, of course, draw immense ecrowds. Prince Oscar preaches and prays at these meetings, while the Princess leads the sing- ing. He is said to have & capital voice, a very tizent delivery, and to b especially keen upon putting bis points before his audience in the ciearest possible manner. Itmay be fresh in the memory of our readers that some few years ago the Prince attended the jubiice of the Young Men’s Christian Association in London anJ addressed a meeting there. That famous man of mauy parts, the German Kaiser, is sail to have more than onCe “preacned” 10 his own private family, though there is no record of his having done 5o pub- licly from tne pulpit. But it is well known that he has on several occasions given the Court chaplains both subjects and directions tor their sermons. Of Englisn peers there are several well- known members, the heads of famous families, Who are either ciergymen or who frequentiy address reiiglous meetings. Oue of the bes t-known and most widely re- spected of these 13 ths venerable Earl of Devon, who is the rector of Powderham, near Exeter. Hislordship had been a clergyman {or some years before, by the deatn of tne last Earl, he became possessor of his present titl { he had entered holy orders as h.s profession, | and in due course been inducted into one of the fanily livings. The Marquis of Normanby, of Mulgrave Castie, Whiibs, s not only a clergyman who preacies eioquently, but is & private scho.l- master of high repute in the north. Probebly his aad. esses to youtns of good position have laid the foundation of h s effective sermons to oider peopie. At any rate, few aristocratic reachers have equal renowu in Norihern ngland. Lord Radstock has long been known for his deep interest in all kinds of evangelistic work. He hos had a wide experience of mission work paris of the country, and thereare few preach- ers of the aristocracy who are listened (o by workingmen with more respect and atiention. His sermons are marked by thoughtful treat- ment, by their clear lucidity and by their in- tense earnestuess in setting forih Gospel truths Lord Overtoun’s nsme is well known in Scotland, and no Scottish peer hes more prac- tical experience of preaching then his lord- ship. BRITAIN'S MINERAL WEALTH. Nature. An sccount of the quantity and vaiue of the minerals obtainea from the mincs, quarries, brine-works, etc, in the United Kingdom dur- ing the year 1896 is given in & Blue Book just issued by the Home Office. Many facis ol in- terest are co itaived iu the report, in addition 0 the statistical irformation, Lut the limita- t ons of sprce wi ly permit us to reter toa few ot them. In 1896 the 1oir]l cutput o1 coal was 195,361,260 tous; of this amount 9309 tons were ob aincd irom open quarries. Tne serms workel in England vary irom eleven to twelve inche. 10 thirty feet in tnickness. and in Scotland seams of cannel coal 0.y six inches in thickness are being worked. ‘The only mine worked for cobalt and nickel oreis in Flintshire, and afier being idie for several years it has lately been reopened. The mine affords an instance of the occurrence of the miueral absoiane with red clay in irrezu- iar cavilies in the carboniferous limestone. Copper mining is rapldly decreasing in fm- portance in Britain, only 9168 tons having n produced in 1896, whereas the output in was 210,000 io.us. F.ant mining suil survives at Brandon, in Suffolk; the produce uf a few shaliow mines worked in & mosi primitive fasnion suffices 10 guu flints, which are exporied 10 savage co'in- tr.es. R. ring 10 gold ore the repor: points out thatcompared with the yieid of the colo- nies and many couutries the amountof gold obteined in Britain is insignificant; neverthe- less mineral veins in North Wales have irom time 10 time furnished considerable qnanti- ttes of rich suriferous quariz. In 1896 the five mines in Merionetshire produced 2765 tons ol ore, from which 135214 ouuces of goid, haviuz a value oi £5085, were obtained. This, however, is & mucu lower vutput than that of th- previous year. The pr.neipal iron-producing districts at the present time ure Cl-veland or North York, ghire, yielding over 5,000,000 tons annually, nd Cumberiand aud Nortn Lancashire, with an output of over 2,000,000 tons.

A JEWISH LAYMAN ANSWERS REV. F. A. DOANE 7o the I'ditor of The Call: In & lengthy article published recently in the xxaminer headed “They Answer Nieto—Presbytertan Divines Defend Their Efforts to Convert tne Jews to Chris- tianity,” I noticed among others the repl que tery, who said: As to my personal convictions on the’subj to striva to convert the Jews.

F. A. Dozne’s replique from the pen of one or'the other of our Jewish minists ments either too puerile or not worthy of notice?’—no answer came forward. Fearing lest silence may be construed Into acaniescence, I desm it my duty asa Jew (although buta ls mean) not to allow Rev. Mr. Doane’s arguments reverend gentleman kindly point out tome Hebrew's acknowledgment of Christ ? Please do not cite any of the obscure passags of Christian divices since centuries to construc cies” —a task which can be accomplished only reading, false coloring and perversion; a matie is able to reaa the *“Prophets’ in the original Hi that question becomes superfluous. There is less dwelt upon by most ail our prophets, which leaves no room for any misrepreseutation or false coloring, it being too plain and too distinct to allow such, and it i Lord will be One and his name One.” This beln, aaistinction to the reverend gentleman’s * know edgment of a Trinity, I will leave this subject for the present, to revert to it further on. As to Rev. Mr. Doane’s argument to prove th because “when he was a boy Jewish childs they do not do so now,’ I am really compelled using uncomplimentary and pernaps offensive 1 “enlightened age” such frail, flimsy and lame stuff to digest. Such arguments were good enough during the dark middle ages, when they were often made use of from the Christian pulpit In order to incite and injuriate tbe ignorant and favatical masses and rapacious mobs, and to furnish them with an apparent piea for massacreing, ing thousands of incffensive Jews and for pillage and plunder Christ and Christisnity. As to Kabbi Voorsanger's telling Jewish . Christian Association (a claim made by Rev. prophesies. The frctis that when a few ye: was unaer deliberation, and thata gymnasinm for athiet ¢ exercises in the basement of the t was then that Dr. Voorsanger remarked that any anxious to indulge In gymnastic exercises could join the gymnasium class synegogue was to be an additional feaiur Jewish young m of the Young Men’s Christian Association, whic the city. That is all, and that is the fact. Another “ve'y powerful and convincing’ prophecies is the astounding fact that one of th little church is & Jew. 1suppose thisis & soli great many of the houses owned by Jews are tensnted by Christians. “0! Sancta Simpiicitas!” would the world be justified 10 exclaim, were the Jewsjto make use of such an ergument in favor of their religion. The mission of Judaism is in a great measu that day the Lord will be One 2nd his name One.” Let us see by opening the pages of history. A ized netions agree therein that as to morals, exercise of chsrity, parental affecticn and filial obedience, happy home life aud so forth, the Jews stand st least on a level with the Chris- tians. Itisadmitted, though, that there are lo: beaters,less patricides and fratricides etc.,to be The Deealogue as proclaimed by Moses, the Magna Charta o the civilized world, aftera testo nearly 3500 years is acknowledged as such by Jew and Gentil® ter transform the Unity into a Trinity and tra; day,the first day of the week, ignoring the fact t God Almighty, Sunday as a day of rest was ordained in the fourth century at the Convention of Nice by the order and leatership of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, a tyrant who, to satisfy his ambition s a ruler, had, besiaes a host of others, his own wife and his own son executed or put to death. Pushing these minor (?) matters into the background the whole question of difference be- tween Jew and Gentile may be reduced to unity, or monothaism, and trinity, or polytheism. Rev. Mr. Doane seems to be entirely blind to the fact that since centuries some Christian sects known as Unitariaus have not only been in tarians to anninilate them, but have become such a powerful iactor in proclaiming the unity of God and have Increased with such a rema Unitarian churches and about as many Unitarian ministers ia the United States and Canada.

The Clanton brothers and the McLowrys were o tough lot of rustleis who were the mein per. petrators of the rascality rife in that regior Between them and the Earps rose a bitter f. ud over the division of the proceeds of the 10ating.
