The Modern Clergyman.

President Eiiot's recent article in
The North American Rerie,r, and the
answer to it which appears in the pres
ept number of that periodical, call al
Iention to the status Of the modern
clergyman.
II is fact evident 10 everybody that
the clergyman Of the present day, be
he Romish priest or Methodist timer
ant. holds very different place in our
social and intellectual life from the
semi-judicial position awarded to his
predecessor by our grandfathers. 4
clergyman to-day stands on level
with the lawyer. the journalist and the
teacher. As long as he shows that be
deserves il, his opinions upon ethics and
religion are listened TO with the re-
sPect and Difference given to any other
expert The mere fact that he has
chosen profession which presuppoSss
an exceptionally high standard Of NOR
aliIy. IS Rot enough. Fifty years ago.
the opinions OF the clergyman were re-
ceived as oracles inspired by God, and
and halo Of sanctity held Lim in a
measure apart from his congregation.
no matter what his character might
have been. President Eliot regards
the change here indicated as = par Of
the greater change that has come over
modern life. and instead Of lamenting
il, as IS the habit Of purblind eeclesias-
tics. he indicates what he regards as
necessary reforms in the education Of
the clergy. He would encourage 4
greater freedom Of thought in theolog-
ical seminaries: the curriculum Of the
seminaries would be made less Sectar-
ian end more broadly Christian, and no
aid would Be rendered TO students.
Coming from such 6 source, these
views are valuable. But we doubt
whether any change in the training Of
clergymen will enable them to take
that position Of authority among men
which would have been accorded 10
them unsaught fifty years ago. People
have learned in the meantime 10 prove
: all things and allmen: to look through
all factitious claims 10 go below COS

The Drowning Of Miss Zabriskie
The Lyon County Times gives
the following particulars of the
drowning of Miss Z4briskie, sister
Of Captain E. B. Zabriskie of ihe
U. S. Mint: "Miss Zabriskie. If
Silver City, was found drowned in
a reservoir jast above the Trench
mill on Thursday morning. The
discovery Of the body was made by
a Chinaman while in the act of lift
ing the gates to lei the water off.
TIE supposition is that she COM
mitted suicide, although it is pes
sible that she might have fallen into
the reservoir by accident and
drowned before help could be rem
dered. She has been for some
years subject to fits of insanity. and
it is said by some that while in one
OF these freaks she often wandered
through the streets half the night.
The deceased was daughter of DR..
Zsbriskie, of Silver City, who at
one time was one of the leading
physicians Of Lyon county, and was
about forty years of age"

SHARP REPLY TO THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS
IN REFERENCE TO THE CLARK ASSESSMENT LET
TER.
Mr. Dezendorf is not disposed to take the mild
view OF the Clark assessment letter entertained by
the civil service commissioners They claimed
that the man who levied the assessment was not
government official, and the assessment not
levied in a government room or building, and
furthermore, that no evidence appeared that the
assessment was made by an agent or at the re-
quest of Malone, and that consequently no VIOLA
tion Of the law had been proven In reply, Mr..
DeZendorf calls the attention of the Commissioners
to section 12 of the civil service law. which was
quoted by the Secretary, and says: said section
you put it. Clark being person. is anenabe
to the law. Nor is 1t necessary that he should
should he escape on the fimsy pretext that he did
not make the demands or solicitations In any
room or building occupied in the discharge Of ofi
cial duties by any officer or emp,oye OF the
United States mentioned in the act, or in
any navy yard. fort or arsenal, as you seem
to imply. TO say that they shall not violate
the law in a custom house or navy yard and
that they may go on the sidewalk outside of the
custom house and navy yard and violate 1t, is to

Ruled Out of the Army and Navy.

Ruled Out of the Army and Navy.
THE DECISION THAT ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS RE-
INsTATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT LE-
GALLY IN THE SERVICE.
The decision OF the second controller that offl-
GERS who had been dismissed or had resigned from
he service and were subsequently relnstated by
executive order are not leg ally In the service is
regarded as one Of great import lnce, affecting, as
it does, officers Of both the army and the navy
and involving, In some cases, considerable
amount OF money in case the decision Of the con-
troller Is upheld by the Court OF Claims, there
is no doubt 1t will be. Some of the officers affected
have brought great influence to bear to keep the
matter quiet with the expectation OF securing
presidential interference. Others, however have
accepted the situation for the present, and con-
slider themselves out OF the service, but will make
strenuous exertfOnS to have bill passed at the
next session Of Congress In their favor, so that
they can be legally renstated.
The controllers decision affects Gen. Daniel e
Sickles and Capt. Adam Badeau, both Of whom are
held to be out OF the army by reason Of having
accepted diplomatic positions; Major Benjamin P.
Runkle, Who was restored by President Hayes;
Assistant Surgeon Benjamin F. Pope, restored by
PRESIDENT Johnson, and a number OF others. Mr..
Badeau has appealed to the Court OF Claims. The
decision even II favorable in test case, Will not
be accepted by the controller OF the Treasury, 1t
Is said. except 1t is confirmed by the United States
Supreme Court.
