proportions to immense advantage and be
exceedingly picturesque, but it is very
Objectionable in some other respects.
Ar. Beecher occSpies a unique place IN
the religious world, and his garb ought to
typify that position. He told us himself
very recently that his faith is made
up of tie best portions of many faiths
of many lands. Why not act upon this
idea and lay them all under contribution
for his new attire? From Rome he
might take the red stockings of the cardi-
nal. the flowing trousers from the fol-
lowers of Confucius, a snow white cape
from the adherents of the Greek Church and
the fez from the disciples of Mohammed.
This, Of course, is only a suggestion, which
Mr.. Beecher's own taste and ingenuity can
easily modify and improve. That he must
have uniform is absolutely essential, and
our only interest in the matter is that it
shall be one becoming the most illustrious
regimen chaplain in the world.

Mr.. Beecher's Uniform.

Now that Mr. Beecher has accepted the
chaplaincy Of one of our regiments the next
thing in order will be to provide him
with proper and becoming uniform. He
will be required to appear on parade once
or twice a year, and it is only fitting that he
should be arrayed in style suitable to his
sacred character and at the same time en-
blematic of his new position. To be sure,
the ordinary chaplain in our militia Or
CARNATIONS wears no uniform at all !;
but Mr.. Beecher is not an ordinary
clerical attachment to regiment, and it
would be absurd to expect him to follow the
beaten path and appear in the sad and
sombre habiliments which custom and pre-
cedent ridiculously prescribe shall be worn
by our spiritual philosophers and friends.
1t would never do to see the warlike pastor
of Plymouth Church marching down Broad
way at the head of his regiment in the
melancholy looking and conventional black
coat with modest rows of shrinking satin
buttons. Such a thing would outrage all
our ideas OF the philosophy Of clothes or
rather Of uniforms
But what shall the great spiritual cap
tain wear? In the absence of all rules
and regulations on the subject the ques-
ton is difficult one to settle; and yet we
do not see how it can be avoided. The uni
form of Peter the Hermit. in which the
great monk led the armies of Europe in the
holy wars, will not do, for the very excel
lent reason that Mr.. Beecher is neither o
hermit nor monk. He abhors monks and
inconsistencies, and considers that their days
of usefulness have long ago passed away
Mr.. Beecher must have something
more modern, something in accordance
with the tone and temper Of the
evening of the nineteenth century, in
which hell has been abolished and
the tidings of new evangel carried
over all the earth. The knee breeches and
blue and buff uniform of the Continental
army would show his magnificent physical

England Moving.

Sir Stafford Northcote's notice to the
House of Commons of the intention of the
government to move on Monday for supple
mentary supplies for the naval and military
service, and the reported retirement
of Earls Derby and Carnarvon from
the Cabinet, indicate that England
has at last become satisfied that
the situation in the East requires
her at least to prepare for war. This tardy
movement OF the British government comes
at the moment when rumors are sent out
from Vienna and Berlin that the terms pro-
posed by Russia are known at those capt.
tails and are acceptable both to Austria and
Germany, and while the Russian army
still continues its forward movement. When
the announcement Of the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer was made in the English
Parliament it was stated in the Commons
by Sir Stafford Northcote, and in the Lords
by Lord Beaconsfeld that the governme nt
was ignorant of the proposed terms of peace.
It is scarcely credible that the conditions
could have been known long enough at
Vienna and Berlin to have been the subject
of consideration by the governments Of
Austria and Germany and yet be con-
cealed from England, unless it has been
their own interests and pay no heed to Eng
lands position or desires. In either case.
whether there have been no successful peace
negotiations and the Russian army is still
to press forward, or whether England is to
be discarded in the consideration Of the
terms of peace as an outside party having
no rights in the matter, the position of the
British government is critical enough.
The question Of interest now is, Will
the British Parliament vote the supplies
asked for by the Ministry? The liberal
leaders ut meeting yesterday signifed
their intention to make no opposition pro-
vided the supplies we're only asked pro-
visionally, to be in readiness for an emer-
gency and not as direct war measure, and
provided also that they were asked by q
united Cabinet. The statement Of the resig-
nation of Earls Derby and Carnarvon, as an
nounced by the London Daily Neaos this
morning, shows that the Cabinet is not q
unit and gives the movement a more warlike
aspect, especially when considered in con-
nection with Earl Beaconsfeld's declaration
in the House of Lords that England will
submit to dictation from no Power. The
excitement in London to-day is, no doubt,
worked up to fever heat, which the rumor of
English blue jackets being ordered to land

A still Desirable Measure.

The bill introduced in the Assembly by
Mr.. Frank requiring the New York street
railroad companies to warm their cars in the
winter and to partition off the seats should
not be neglected this year because we hap
pen to have an unusually mild winter. The
concessions are no great er than the public
has right to ask and expect from corpora
tions which are enjoying free franchises of
large value and making enormous profits
out of the people of the city. The certainty
of the speedy completion of rapid transit
may induce the idea that the horse rail-
roads are now not worth legislating about,
but this is mistake. Even on the
lines covered by rapid transit the horse
cars will no doubt continue to do a good
business in short fares rs well as through
passengers who will object to ride on an
elevated railroad, or not care to ascend and
descend the stairs Mt the stations Besides.
the improvements demanded by Mr. Franks
bill will serve to increase the chances of a
successful competition for the travel on the
part Of the horse railroads. and those corpo-
rations should now look with favor on the
measure instead of opposing it, as they
have heretofore done. But why should not
the bill include the rapid transit lines as
well as the horse car lines, and include a
provision making it obligatory on the for
mer to run regular trains during the night

Massachusetts has always plumed herself
on her culture as we'll as her patriotism,
these two being regarded by her as her
especially strong points. In the lively
"shindy" the other day Senator Blaine
Intentionally showed how vulnerable is the
claim of Massachusetts, on the head of pa
triotism, and Senator Hoar Get tn, Brute p
unintentionally furnished grotesque illus
tration Of the culture which is the boast of
the American Athens. We doubt whether
any other alumnus of Harvard College could
have given quite SO extraordinary an illus
tration of Massachusetts scholarship as MIR.
Hoar RECALLED the Senate with in his reply to
Blaine. 'None but himself can be his
parallel" We reproduce the closing words
of Mr. Hoar's speech precisely as we find
them officially reported in the Congressional!

been so disturbed by some recent historic judgments
OF the people OF Massachusetts, that he should require
their ancestors not only to bear the burden oil their
own sins but those OF their descendants Like Eneas

But MIR. President. take leave OF the subject.
AS if "Eneas in the Iliad'" were not
quite ridiculous enough as an exhibition
of Massachusetts, classical learning the line
of Virgil which Senator Hoar attempts to
quote is SO mangled as to make it neither
sense nor grammar. Having failed to put
Mr.. Blaine down by argument the erudite
Mr.. Hoar, with true Massachusetts assump-
ton, spouted at him Latin quotation.
Had the quotation been free from gross in
accuracies and grammatical blunders it
would even then have been puerile dis
play in such body as the Senate; but if
Latin is to be Haunted at all it should be cor
rect Latin. Mr. Sumner was much addicted
to this kind of pedantic display, but his
faults were only ostentation and bad taste; he
did not mutilate what he undertook to
quote nor confound one author with
another. If any reader cares to look at the
line which Mr.. Hoar has so oddly mutilated
he will find it at the end of the eighth book
Of the s'Eneid."

of his face and wearing beard on the
other. This is the preposterous appear
ance in which Mr.. Blaine is willing to pre-
sent himself as a Presidential candidate.
He is just one half silver man but if he
would put himself wholly and strongly on
the right side and contribute his influence
to get this question settled previous to 1880
there would be no necessity for resorting to
such ridiculous shifts.
The candidates who are thus scheming for
nominations fail to see how worthless regu-
lar party nominations will be if this contro-
versy is kept alive. Public feeling is getting
so infamed on the subject that unless the
dispute is closed the nomination of any but
a pronounced hard money man or q pro-
nounced soft money man will be i'm
possible by either party, and the beaten
faction in each will bolt The conse-

bility in pursuit of nominations which will
be worthless if this heated currency contro-
versy is carried into the election.

The WEATHER-The area of highest barom-
eter, which on Wednesday extended southwark
from the lake region over the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys, and close to the western margin
of the depression then in the British provinces,
has now moved eastward to the coast The
storm centre has passed into the Atlantic and
is followed by rapidly rising pressure. In the
Northwest tho centre of low barometer which
we referred to rs advancing from Montana
toward the upper lakes has moved on the line
We predicted and is now north Of the
lake region. There is u probability that
this disturbance will descend to the st.
Lawrence Valley and New Brunswick in
Its progress to the Atlantic coast with
diminished pressure. The depression from the
Southwest il approaching the Mississippi Valley
and will probably create the same weather con.
,litions as those which We predicted on last Friday
morning for the district of the produce centres
This change will probably take place in the Cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the South
ern States within two days. Dealers in produce
arc therefore warned OF its approach. Moder-
ate winds prevail over all the districts, chiefly
from the south and southeast west of the Allie
glanics, northwestcrly and westerly on the
North Atlantic coast, northeasterly and easterly
on the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts and
northcrIy in the regions Immediately west of
the upper lake depression. The temperature
has generally risen, except in the districts
affected by the last named disturbance. In
New York and its vicinity to-day it will be cool
and clear, followed by warmer, partly cloudy
weather. Tomorrow increasing cloudiness,
rising temperature and light rain toward night
arc probable conditions.

A New Gold Discovery.


We learn from q gentleman residing In
Tonawanla that there is at present con.
siderable excitement at that place aud
vicinity. consequent upon the discovery
of small quantities OF gold in quartz
rocks upon the farm OF Mr.. William
Wright, in tho town Of Wheatteld.
Niagara county. and about one mile
from Tonawanda village. IL is stated
that the fact has been known Tor some
months. and a building has been erected
10 "work the nine" though u was
given out that the ore was to be brought
from PENNSYLVANIA. But within a few
days, especially on Saturday aud Sunday
last, pieces OF quartz have been found
which contained unnistakable traces OF
the precious metal. In one case an
assay revealed the fact that the supposed
gold was the genuine article without a
doubt.
This Is q very important discovery.
and IL Is to be hoped that the gold
mine" will turn out to be all that those
interested in II expect. We understand
that operations will be commenced at
once TO dstsrmine whether the precious
metal exists there in any considerable
quantity. II this should turn out to DO
the case. then Tonawanda and Wheat
field will suddenly become famous. aud
the parties engaged IN the enterprise will
make their fortunes.
