THE RELIGIOUS YorcE.

The unsavory scandals in regard to Cleve
land originated in the labor of an alleged
preacher. They relate to matter of moral
ity, and have parativ ely little or no bear
ing on the political value Of the chief charac
ter. In the estimate which the people make
of these charges, and the conclusion
which should be reached it is
reasonably safe to be governed largely by the
views OF religious teachers who, from the ma
ture of their professions, are perhaps better
able to pass with justice and fullness on
such questions than the laity. Admitting
the value Of this class of judgments, it is of
interest to know Whist is the conclusion of q
christian authority concerning this scandal.
The Christian Union is one of the ablest re-
fgious journals in the country. It is lifted
by the well known Lyman Abbott and Ham
ilton W Mabee- It is a journal which has
been many years before the public, and
which from its course has shown itself to he of
highly intellectual character, and attached
without variation to . tolerant religion and q
lofty morality. When Cleveland was nomi-
mated it spoke kindly of his record, and in
the same article said that it
would be gala day for
this country if every Christian man in it
should register a vow that he would vote for
no Candidate, whatever his ability and how
ever fair his political record. If he were not q
man of genuine moral principle, OF pure

.McPHERSON'.S JOB.

Edward Mcpherson, whom long experience
has gifted with the power of making figures
tell bigger lies to the square inch than any
other man that was ever born in Pennsyl-
vania, or any other portion of North Anne
RIGA, is preparing an ''official'' statement to
show that the Government losses in the col
lection and disbursement of public money
have gradually diminished since the Repub-
lican party has been in power. This beauti-
full document will be very fascinating to those
easy going souls who are utterly innocent of
any knowledge of the methods employed to
make the government business so obscure
that no one understands it, but all men of
thought and Judgment will estimate the false
stuff at its true value. All the statements in
regard to the finances of the government are
mere assumptions and not susceptible of
veriication. The monthly public debt state
ment is one of these gems of fiction. Some
day, when the control of affairs can be got
out of the dishonest hands that have so long
deceived the people, there will come a revela-
ton Of crookedness that will astound honest
men. The only way to get at the truth is to
Turn the Rascals out.

ANOTHER DANIEL

1t seems to be the fashion of the day for
all the politicians of easy virtne to turn ur
as Blaine men. Here comes Scion Chase
the great original Greenbacker, DESERVING
his alleged principles, his party and old Ben.
Butler. Like some other Cheap Johns he
says he will vote for Blaine. His reasons
are unique.
| shall vote for James G. Blaine. He will be
| the first President of the United States taken
! from civil life who not a bred lawyer.
| believe him to be the great American commoner
the friend of the great army of wealth producers
and one III whose policy they can safely con
| ide.
(Signed) SoLoN CHASE.
If Chase was ever honest in the advocacy OF
the doctring has been vociferating for years
he is dishonest now. He is either one thing
or another, fool or knave. He
comes out fiat for the head of the
monopolists who are the only wealth
producers Blaine has ever helped or tried to-
| As for labor he has done all he could to dis
equivalent for days work. In Congress he
was the agent of the Corporation lobby and
| the attorney of Jay Gould. Senator Edmunds ,
a Republican witness in letter to a friend
wrote:
'It is my opinion that Mr. Blaine acts as the
attorney Of Jay Gould. Whenever Mr.. Thurman
and have settled upon legislation to bring the
Pacific railroads to terms of equity with the gov
ernment up has jumped James G. Blaine, mus
ket in hand, from behind the breastworks OF
Gculd's lobby to fire in our back. -
Again, the Chicago Tribune said Of Blaine
| in 1876
The man Blaine who had voted for or failed
to oppose every subsidy of either land or money
| asked for while in Congress. They knew him
| as lobbyist before he entered Congress, seeking
| contracts for the supply of arms. They knew
him while in Congress and while Speaker as the
| inside friend of wildcat corporations, ruling as
| Speaker to save their bills, and as claiming re-
ward for his official action, engaged in selling
the worthless bonds of such corporations, receiv
ing large gratuities therefor, as confessed in his
| letters; and finally, when pecuniarily involved
| getting the Pacific Railroad Company, as it seems
almost certain, to give him 81, 900 cash for what
| was not worth 1000 cents. Is this the record
| of a reformer? OF man to purify the Admin
| stration and to raise the standard of political
| and official morality
|, Scion Chase writes himself down an old
fraud in calling Blaine the great American
| Commoner.

"Spot CASH"

The second performance of 'Spot Cash. -
by the NJ. B. Curtis company, at the Grand
last night, was witnessed by large audi
ence, and compared with the opening night
much more enjoyable presentation was
given. The play ran smoother, and the
rather broad features alluded to in yester-
days GLOBE had undergone considerable
modification.
In spite of the improvements made, how
ever, the play should be still further sub
iected to the pruning process and very ma
terial Improvement might be made in the
plot which is lily adapted and sadly wanting
in coherency. The character sketches by
Mr.. Curtis, together with his fine makeup
and immense dialogue, never fail to win the
appreciation of the audience, and the cast
EN- braces several fine comedians.
The performance was cordially received
last night and very much enjoyed. There
will be a matinee performance this after
noon and the engagement closes tonight.

fects and abuses In the recent and more re.
mote panics and crisises were given the most
thoughtful consideration for the purpose OF
comparing views and suggesting remedies.
AS important statement as any made be-
fore the association upon the topic was by B.
b. Comegys, banker of Philadelphia, who
among other things, said:
"A bank may be said to be in good condition
when 1t has an adequate capital mot too large)
a contingent fund at least half as large land no
suspended debt or overdue paper); when its de-
posts are free of interest and three or four times
the amount of its capital; when it's dealers sup
ply it with business paper to the extent of it's
needs; when liberal salaries paid to its officers
and clerks: when there is trained man in re-
serve for every position that may become vacant :
when there is a pension fund adequate to the
comfortable support of its wornout clerks /;
when it has board of directors who are not con

stand their business and remember their uualif-
cation oaths-directors who count the cash fire.

at which time another person shall do his work !;
and who believe in this dogma, that nothing is

Nothing can be more useful than for bank

inc of policy mapped out in the foregoing,
which surely is a basis for stability and pros
peritY, and which the incoherent systems in
vogue to much too great an extent, abso-
lutely prevent and prohibit.
The association seemed quite unanimous
upon the subject of silver coinage, there
being no disagreement but that its effects were
bad, and only bad.
Banks are prime necessity of business
of these modern days, and bank is sure to
follow the erection of the settlers house,
wherever new town is founded, and has its
field and usefulness there as much as in the
established centers of trade and population.
Whatever is best for the individual
is best for the bank, and as no sys-

perfect, the only method of improvement is
by comparison of experiences, interchange
of views, and upon wholesome ground, COM

citation exerts wise and healthy influence

personal character, of transparent truthful
ness, a personal and recognized foe of all
corruption; in word, such man as he
would gladly welcome in his home and fear
lessy intrust with his private concerns"
TWAS not long after the publication of this
view the scandals of Ball were sprung on the
public. In reading these the Union said:
IF the charges against Gov. Cleveland are
true his friends should counsel him to take
himself from off the ticket and if they do
not the lovers of domestic purity and the
respectors of womanhood should sweep
him off. -
In its issue of Aug. IA the Union publishes
the result of its examination of all the evil
dence which has been presented concerning
the Cleveland scandal. It pronounces the
charges of libertinism and intoxication to be
without particle of truth and asserts that
they as well as the most of the
charges against Cleveland, originated in
the stews and dram shops of Buffalo where
ne is hated for his answering course as an
official, in the cause of right. In regard to
the charge concerning which the most is
made by the enemies Of Cleveland, the
Christian Union is not at all hesitating in Civ
ing an opinion. 1t says that ''No Christian
man, no patriotic citizen, should be willing
to vote for candidate whom he believes to
be leading licentious and ,debauched
life. But confidence and esteem are
not to be withheld from a man,
otherwise entitled 20 them, because of the
sinful episode of IA past life, when he has
done what little men could to make repara-
tion and atonement for it. In our judgment
these facts, while they necessarily leave a
stain upon the reputation of Mr.. Cleveland,
leave the voter at liberty to determine his
vote wholly by political considerations.
This is manly conscientious conclusion
and may be accepted as that of the represen-
tative religious communities.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The New York
World calls attention to the fact that Blaine
appointed the expert politician, salary grabber,
turn-coat and defender of Whittemore in the
role of cadet nominees, Ben Butler, to be
chairman of the house committee on civil
service reform. In another column it recalls
the fact that Butler was the most conspicu-
Gus advocate of the celebrated salary grab
which was passed at the close Of the last ses-
sion of the Forty second congress, March 3,
1878.
The Sun, which is doubtless well informed
in everything relating to Buffers movements
says that Butler will not appear on the
stump until August 30, when he will appear
in New York City. He will devote himselfto
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey, as the states that the Democrats
are theoretically contesting. 1t is evident
that Buffers object is not so much to elect
himself as to draw votes from Cleveland.
The Times has leader to show the great
importance of the probibitionist electoral
vote in the present campaign. Referring to
dispatch from Niagara county, the Times as
sumes that the vote Of the prohibitionists
could, with energy and organization, be made

The 1ribuae has another raid upon Gov.
Cleveland, based upon an examination Of

ingly small man. The same journal has
carefully written article taking a cheerful
view of the business outlook. 1t says that

stupid old lie as fresh news matter.
