PREACHERs IN POLITICS.

The following comments by q leading
journal, on the course pursued by Drs.
Beecher and Cuyler in the late political
canvass in Brooklyn, shows how clergy
men lose cast and character by dabbling
in political matters. The amount Of
mischief thus done to the u Of
Christianity is simply i~ncalculable:
It 80 CHANGED that two Democratic
candidates, Mr.. Bartlett for the Supreme
Court and Mr.. Hendrix for Mayor, are
connected with the New York Sun, and
a. that paper usually talks to Beecher as
plainly Is Nathan talked to David under
similar circumstances, Beecher went into
the fight for the defeat of those men with
all his might. In the first speech he de-
clared that the Supreme Court of the
State should be ~ bipartisan as possi-
BILE, and that the number of Judges
should be equally divided between the
parties. He then implored all good citi-
zens to put aside all party feelings and
vote against Mr.. Bartlett in order to
bring the number of Republican Judges
up nearer to an equality with the Demo-
cratic. When he had finished this noble
and patriotic appeal to the Democrats to
sacrifice their own candidate for the good
of the State and had sat down. one Of his
s'heelers" said to him: "You made a
hi Of . blunder, for the Court consists
Of thirty-four Judges, Of whom twenty
three are Republicans and but eleven are
Democrats" That blunder exposed the
canting hypocrisy Of Beecher and the
entire tribe Of Republicans who masque-
rade as citizens.
DIR. Cuyler succeeded in making . fool
Of himself, a. usual. Cuyler on the
political stump il . sight to cause the
gods to weep. Outside Of politics he is q
well-informed Christian gentleman, with
all that it implies. Politically he is
ignorant, narrow, bigoted, malignant and
reckless of statement. When Theodore
Cuyler approaches the great white throne
to be judged by the deeds done on earth
and there sees himself as he is, he will be
much astonished. for he really thinks
that he 10 anfhonest man. The Pharisee
who devoutly thanked God that he was
not a. other men, had not q more abiding
faith in his W piety than has Cuyler,
nor was he more self-deceived. Politi-
cally he is one Of our very dirtiest little
demagOgues.

Seeming a JOB.

From influences which appear to be at
work in Washington we are very much
afraid there is q s'trade dollar ring" after
all. We are inclined to think so all the
more because the gentlemen who seem
so interested in the redemption of the
coins at par keep insisting that they
haven't any Of them themselves, but are
only afraid the poor people Of the
try ct large will suffer if Congress does
not buy up the coins 1t their face value.
They need not be in the least alarmed
about these ''poor people," They have
sold their trade dollars st . discount long
ago to the speculators, - we have before
pointed out. If the Secretary of the
Treasury and Congress imagine that they
will be doing . philAnthropic act in
bringing about this redemption scheme"
we beg to assure them that it will not
in . benefit to the many, but an
of the few who are s'iong" Of

THE studied and intentional outrage now
committing by the Citizens Street Railway
Company in the practical destruction of one
block of Washington street in order to SO
occupy the roadway that no new company
could lay track thereon, has very properly
excited the indignation and protest of the
business men whose property and con-
venience were Immediately affected. But
the proceeding should so arouse all classes
of the people who have been Systematically
abused by this alien corporation, that the
majority of the Council would find, before
the next meeting, that it was neither popu-
their opposition to measures which would
curb the arrogance and selfishness OF this
company, and at the same time give to Indi-
annapolis decent streetrailway accommoda-
tons. The citizens of the wards
in which councilmen live who have
persistently arrayed themselves on the
side of the existing monopoly, should see to
it that their representatives are no longer
given the poor excuse OF feigning ignorance
of the sentiment of their constituents. OF
course, there are some men who have helped
to make up the majority, from whom differ
ent vote could not be expected under any
circumstances; but there are those whose
names are to be found on that
side of the roll calls whose
action is an amazement In view
of this last demonstration of the Citizens
Company, it certainly does seem that no
more argument should be required to con-
vince intelligent and honest business men in
the Council of the immediate duty they owe
the city. Break the supposed monopoly Of
this impudent company, and there will be
an end to its impositions speedily and with
out delay.

selves free hereafter to protect any inter
oceanic communication i'll which they or
their citizens may become interested in such
way as treaties with the local sovereign
powers may warrant and their interests may
require" This is the canal policy OF this
country, and it will be adhered to. The
American idea has been affirmed by the pres
ent administration without any particular
spectacular effects, but it seems to us the af-
frmance has been made with dignity and de-
eision, and with quite as much influence and
effect as il the dispatch had been written
with the aurora boreais across the face OF
the sky. Explosive diplomacy, whether the
instrument used be dynamite or rhetoric, is
not strictly an American idea.
