The trial of Rev. Benjamin Staunton,
pastor OF the Fort Green Presbyterian
Brooklyn, n. Y, presbytey for conduct
unbecolning minister OF the gospel in his
treatment OF his wife, ended few days
ago. It occupied fourteen days. The
presby terry sustained the charges by vote
OF 13 TO Z. Among other things Mr.. Staun.
ton was charged with improper relations
with Q Mrs. Ladder, whom he kept in his
house for q long time.
The London Times publishes leading
article commenting on the Henry George
movement, and the torpor which it says
has fallen upon American politics and
which 1t pronounces unexampled. 1.-THE
Republican revolt" continues the paper,
(which brought Mr.. Cleveland into power
wasin it's way "a remarkable as the ma
tional uprising in England against Mr..
Gladstone'a abuse OF his uneuualed power
and the confidence reposed in him by his
oountrymen. ln'both cases the wrench was
severe and was faced with tho utmost re-
luctance, and in both cases there was g.
moral, emancipation and the disappoint-
nent 'of the defeated parties was cruelty
bitter. The Appearance OF Mr.. George as a.
candidate forthe' ayoraIty of New York
marks the introduction into America of
the characteristic traits OF Rarnellism.
Iooling with anarchy will not be tolerated.
We hope it may be SO. for the sake OF eivili-
cation and the worlds prosperity.
