It's modern sense is devotion to party har-
mony, and as have concluded TO take
the senatorship in order to relieve the
President.e elect from embarrassment In the
formation OF his Cabinet, am ontidently
expecting the unselfsh patriotism OF Sec.
retary Sherman to follow the example OF
the Governor. Possibly l am little san
guine In this expectation. Devotion to
patty harmony may mean that some
shall always pull in the harness or
stand in the battles front whea the con.
fics RACES in unconditional subordination
to some dynastic supremacy established
within 1t. The preappropriation OF the
senatorship may have been decreed, and
nothing remaining for the Legislature TO
do but register the edict. The influences
which were potent to crush the Governor
are probably sufficient 10 pulverize those
less formidable. should, therefore, pos.
sibly be warned by his fate. Alter the

The Census and the Registry.

LIGHT ON THE USES JOHN l. DAvEN-
PORT MAY MAKE OF THE ENuhEkA-
TORS RETURNS IN NEW YORK.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The use
which John l. Davenport intends to
make OF the census lists which he was
permitted to copy in New York may be
inferred from what has happened in Bal
tilsore In connection with the registra-
ton. A lew days ago VIM. j. Cunning
ham, Charles Hawkins, aud George Gar
lin, registers of voters iu the Secohd,
Fourth, and Seventh Wards Of Balti-
more, were arrested on charge of vio-
laling the United s. ates statutes, by re-
fUsing, on the demand of United States
supervisors of elections, to strike from
the registration lists large number of
names which the supervisors claimed
were Illegally recorded. The arrested
men were held to bail for hearing by
United States Commissioner Bond, in
the sum of $1,000 each. Supervisor
Banded, so Cunningham says, required
him to strike twenty names off the list
because those nan es were not on the
census lists for the Fourth Ward, recent
ly taken. The register refused to atrike
off the rames fol that reason, but said
he would strike off every name that
could be shown by legal proof should be
OIL. Cunningham says that the demand
for him to strike off twenty names was
to have been followed by demand that
fifteen hundred additional names should
be erased from the registration list.

MISSING TICKET As, 23O.
THE WINNER OF THE IRON PIER PRIZE
OF $1,000 NOT YET HEARD FROM.

THE WINNER OF THE IRON PIER PRIZE
OF $1,000 NOT YET HEARD FROM.
A prize of $1,000 still awaits the per-
son who can produce ticket 1920, Sc
ries "F," drawn in the lottery at the
Coney Island iron pier on Monday last.
Mr.. Loew, President Of the Ocean Iron
Pier Navigation Company, says that,
while he hopes the holder of the ticket
will yet be found, he will not be sur
prised if ticket 1920 is never seen
again. All through the past season
every person who bought ticket for
Coney Island at any Of the offices of the
company received coupon emitting the
holder to a chance in this drawing.
About $50, 900 tickets and coupons were
sold. ga great many holders of these
coupons" said Mr.. Loew, "placed so
little value on them that they often
threw them away thinking that only one
chance in about three-quarters OF mill
ion was not worth looking after. | have
heard the employees of the company say
hat sometimes the iron pier was strewn
with these coupons. One day, about
month ago, was visiting at Schooley's
Mountain, N j., and | saw one of the
coupons near the. track on the mountain
side, where somebody had evidently
thrown it away. The company has
been honest IN the matter, and | hope
that the owner of the lucky ticket will
yet claim the 81 ,000."

FAREW ELL SERMON.

Rev. j. NJ. w. Pratt, who has been
pastor of the First Unitarian Church
on West street above Eighth for the
past three or four years, resigned his
pastorate a short time ago, and yes
terday morning preached his fare
well sermon.
He took for his text, ''Christ's mi
racle of changing water into Wine"
During his sermon which was attcn-
lively listened to, he said that the
text preligured the alchemic effect OF
the gospel uponImen; its power to
transform the water of life into wine
to satisfy the every day life about
us. He spoke of the disciples be-
ing plain fishermen, living confined
narrow lives having but one hope,
the coming of the Messiah, when
they felt the marvellous transforma-
ton. The great teacher, so different
fl ON what they expected slowly but
surely filed their lives with his spir-
itual presence. They in turn were
animated with desire to fill the
world with the light that had come
into their individual souls. This
light will help to brighten up our
every day life. Mr.. Pratt urged his
hearers to labor for religious liberty
and declared that reason should be
used in religion as well as in other
matters.
AT the conclusion of the sermon,
Mr.. Pratt spoke a few words of fare
we'll expressing his thanks for the
uniform kindness that had been
shown him during his stay among
his congregation, and expressed the
hope that the church would be open
occasionally for Gods worship.
