BAND OF HOPE,
An Interesting Gard from Mr.. 6oaI on the
Subject.

/ Editor san Antonio Light.
In your issue of the 18th you pub
! lished a letter written on the 18th, and
signed by Mrs. A. J. Fry and Miss L. A.
| White, in reference to the Band of Hope
| ut Trinity Methodist Church, in which
| these ladies state that there is a Band
| of Hope in the church, but the WOmen's
| Christian Temperance Union organized
| it. and Mr.. BOal has nothing to do with
! it," If that statement is correct, what
do they mean by the notice in to-day's
! Express and Times stating that q meet
ing will be held in the Trinity Methodist
Church Sunday afternoon, at p. m,
for the purpose of organizing Juvenile
Temperance Society, or Band of Hope?
| think their announcement proves very
clearly that their statement Of the nth
inst. was not correct; or, do they re-
! quire two Bands of Hope in the same
church?
In regard to myself, can say, with
out fear of contradiction, that | was
present at the close of the school last
Sunday at 4 p. m, by arrangement, with
Miss White and another lady, whom |
suppose to be Mrs. Fry, and that, after
| the usual formalities, | proceeded TO
conduct the meeting, as had been agreed
upon between Miss White and myself
the previous evening in that same
my belief to that lady that one Band of
Hope for the whole city, or collection
of Bands OF Hope, under the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, would
not be as successful as q Band of Hope
in connection with each school, and d.
reCtly under the care of the pastor and
active Christian workers in the church
and Sunday-SChOOl, and my opinion
that the Sunday-sChOOl Superintendent
should be the President, as | consider
the pastors have so many other duties
to perform, which they only can do;
but, of course, the pastor is always I'M
derstood 10 be the head and front of
every good movement, whether his name
| appears as president or not, that is, al
ways suppOsing he is in all other re-
spects qualified, and that in this way all
the schools have an organization they
can call their own, and ii is known by
the name of their church, hence much
livelier interest than could be possibly
be got up for general or amalgamated
organization. And after half dozen of
such societies are established, then
comes the time for Band of
Hope union to be formed with regular
officers elected from the delegates elect
ed by the different Bands of Hope, and
it will be the duty of this executive
committee to see the establishment of
societies in connection with every church
in the city and as far out of the city as
the can reach. and, in fact, every other

IS THIS TRUE REFORms


Those who still think that the new admin
istration is a civil service reform administra-
ton would do we'll to pay attention to some
facts set forth by Senator Hoar in his speech
against open executive sessions of the Senate.
Senator Hoar points out that in judging
of the Presidents fidelity to the cause of
reform we must look not only to his own
conduct and policy, but to the conduct and
policy of those officials whom he has selected,
whose execution of the law it is his sworn
official duty to supervise and control. Judg-
ing by this test, Senator Hoar does not find
that the executive has kept or has attempted
to keep the pledge which preceded and fol-
lowed his election. The power of appoint
ment to Office seems to him to have been
used by the present administration with as
absolute and single purpose of promoting
partisan interests as it was under Van Buren,
or Pierce. And he thinks that the President
might as well make Denis Kearney his sec
retary of the treasury, and thereafter avow
a belief in public credit or honest money, as
expect to be further counted as civil service
reformer with Mr.. Higgins as his appoint
ment clerk.
There are 3,593 civil officers whom the
President personally appoints, with the con-
sent of the Senate. OF these about eighty
are judges with life tenure. Collectors of
internal revenue, the director of the mint,
and perhaps a few others hold Office by an
indefinite tenure. All these latter he has
already removed and filed their places with
Democrats. Of the rest he has already nom.
mated successors for upward of tEo thou
sand. The Senate has generously confirmed
1,749 and rejected but Is. In General Grants
first Congress 25 of his nominations were re-
iected, 142 fell without action and 90 were
withdrawn. In the second Congress of his
first term were rejected, 50 fell, and 11s
were withdrawn. In Grants second term
there were rejected SO, fell 269, withdrawn
1874, returned to the President 1. In Hayes
term there were rejected 103, Withdrawn 103,
fell 298, and returned 56 In the term of
Garfield and Arthur there were rejected 20,
fell with the sessions 10Y, withdrawn 80, re-
turned to the President %.
These and other facts set forth by Senator
Hoar indicate that the President is not yet
great civil service reformer. The following
contains Senator Hoar's opinion of his work
as reformer: The President of the United
States proclaimed that political office shall
not be the reward of party service, and that
officers whose duties have no relation to po-
litical opinion shall remain undisturbed.
That was the text. He then demanded the
resignation of Frederick Douglass from the
Office of recorder of deeds that he might
have place with which he could reward a
Democratic politician for political service.
That was the application. The President
who did that will, in my judgment, never
rescue the civil service from the evil spirit of

Alexander. In addition there are a consid-
erable number of French coins and eccle-
siastical moneys, the latter stamped with
mitres and pastoral slaves. The coins vary
in size from that of threepenny piece to
that of shilling. Twenty-Five weighed an
ounce and it is calculated that the fetal
number found was from twelve to fourteen
Thousand, but great many were removed
before the finder realized their value Sew
eral of the coins were analysed to-day by
the professor of chemistry in Aberdeen
university, who in his report states that
the tolerably clean coin yielded in one
hundred parts 99.8S of silver and 1O12 of
copper. The composition is, therefore,
nearer to that of French coins than of Eng
lish, the latter containing 925 per cent. of
silver to rs per cent. of copper; the for
mer ninety per cent. of silver and ten per
cent. of copper. The Edward coins have
an inscription round the outer edge of the
diverse, with clear-cut head wearing an
open crown. On the reverse there is also
an inscription, and the coin is marked with
the strongly defined cross peculiar to the
quarter money. In the angles formed by
the cross trefoils are placed Another coin
has a crowned head in profile enclosed in a
triangle on the diverse and an inscription;
while on the reverse it is almost similar to
that before described, with the exception
that stars are substituted for the trefoils.
Most of the money is of this description, but
numlsmatlsts state that there are several ex-
ceedlngly rare coins among the number.
