A Word For OurseIvcs.

1t IS now proper that we should ask
men whom We have been trusting for
nearly half year, to come down with
the pittances they owe US. The times
are hard and money is scarce, but there
is no man that reads the TRANsC x1Pr
who cannot raise couple Of dollars
And when you consider that Of all men,
the newspaper man has, perhaps. the
smallest bills and accounts-two dollars
here and two there-you Will see the ne
cessity Of assisting him in scraplng to-
much, but five hundred 81 amount to a
respectable sum. We have asked no
one for cent. We wanted you to see
that we were stayers, and now that we
have trusted you six months we ask you
to trust US six months. No one thinks
Of getting city paper without payment
in advance, and why should it be the
custom in the country? A man who in
tends to pay at all can as we'll pay first
as last. Those who are dishonest enough
to doubt US, we are honest enough to
doubt, and the sooner they pay up,
the better. Many think tina, a threat to
stop is terror to an editor. True, no
man likes TO see his list run down, but
we would rather have 100 who did pay
than 100000 who did NOT An editor al
ways respects and loves a man who, il
compelled to stop, pays up. The stop

the fact that the "Lay Sermons" were

the result Of tho church trial of w. A.

without dissenting voice. Consequent
1y MIR. Hotchkiss is suspended tor six
months, during which time he is to show
signs of repentance, and then, upon per.
sonsl application 10 the church and
acknowledgment of wrong.doing, he
may be reinstated again. What gives this
unanimous decision special weight, Is
that the council was composed Of clergy.
men and laymen from abroad, who had
no interest in the case but to see the
Right triumph over Wrong. So far, Mr..
Hotchkiss' repentance has been Of an
unusually fierce kind.

Resumption Made Easy.

The pers stent opposition to the re-
mo. etiza,ion of silver on the part of
eas papers and eastern banks, made
u to fe r that no financial good could
Come out of the Nazareth Of New York.
But The recent action Of the New York
banks. intending to aid in resumption is
seemingly all that could be asked of
them. They have,

These are the concessions made by the
banks to Secretary Sherman, and five Of
them are all that could be desired. 1t
will be seen that number 1, let's out a
little of the old hatred for the silver dol
