Silver Corruption.

The New York Commercial ADVERTISER
in response to Il question by the sun as
to its meaning in referring to the lavish
expenditures of the silver ring says
Well, by the lavish expenditures of the
silver ring we mean, for one thing, the
money they spend i'll hiring newspapers
that know better to advocate the Cuntin-
ued coinage of silver, in order that they
the members of the silver ring-may make
Il profit from the losses of wage earnerS
and all other classes of people. We mean
the money they spend in hiring agents to
come to this office with adrOitly planned
and dishonest offerings of news intend
ed to trick us into courses favorable to
| their speculative game. We mean the
money they were prepared to spend not
| long ago when one OF their
agents in disguise came hither
with the casual remark that they
would like to control the course of the
| Commercial IdrcrtiScr on this question.
We mean the money they have spent in
! briblng newSapf pers whose editorial utter
auces were for sale, and i'll buying the
votes of members of Congress in various
indirect, and perhaps, in some direct ways.
We mean the money they have spent on
certain newspaper correspondents III
Washington to induce them to conceal sill
Yer sophisms in their news dispatches tC
journals opposed to the silver scheme.
The silver interest is a great, rich, and
apparently INSCRIPTIONS interest. 1t has
controlled Congress, hitherto and il
means to continue to. Its methods are
more than limited at, above, and they are
likely to be as successful in the future Il,

LOTTERY ADVERTISEMENTS
A Bill to Prohibit the Mailing of News
pnpers ContninIny Them.

papers Containing Them.
Senator Wilson of Iowa has reported
favorably from the committee on post
offices and post roads the bill introduced
by him to prohibit the mailing of news
papers and other publications containing
lottery advertisements. The report &C
companying the bill says that the several
states have acted resolutely and with
marked unanlmity in their endeavors to
suppress the malign presence OF the lot
terry. Louisiana stands almost alone in
liberation of the evil, and she has pro-
nounced against it after 1898. Vermont
and Delaware qualify their prohibition by
allowing such lotteries as may be author
lied by their own laws while denouncing
those recognized by the laws of other
states and it seems to the committee that
this almost unanimous movement OF the
states to defend themselves against the
demOralizing effects of lotteries ought to
be recognized and prompted by the ma
ton. "At all events" the report says,
1.-The postal system ought not to be degrad-
ed to the condition of an instrument for
the promotion of crime" The report
says it is the purpose of the bill to aid the
states in their efforts to suppress the
crime, which they have denounced with
almost entire unanimity. 1t Is intended
to close the United States mails against
lllc lidilSilliSSlOH VI loOItiy b'Ncl lISclllcltS
of every kind and character "Without
some law" the report continues, 1.-THE in
Sidious temptations contained in the cum
ningly devised lottery advertisements will
continue to invade state, family, shop,
office, or other place of business or Of
pleasure, or public and private resorts, in
spite of the efforts which the states have
made to prevent it." The committee says
the bill is undoubtedly constitutional and
quotes decision of the Supreme Court
UNFOLDING the right of Congress to pass
such laws

The new plenary DEGREES of the Roman
church in this country authorize changes
which are almost revolutionary. The
principal innovations are three-the bet
ter regulation of property, the substltu-
ton of the title "rector' for that of
priest" and the appointment OF trustees
from the body of the laity. The property
relation will be hereafter more explicit
than it has been. Every bishop Will
be required to make an inventory of
his property as bishop, trustee and indivi-
dual. He must distinguish III his will his
own from the church's property and be
uueath the latter to his successors in Office
Another decree forbidS private banking
by the bishops, priests, and the heads OF
conventional and monastic establishments,
with view of heading off such disasters
as overlook Archbishop Purcell in OHIO
and the Roman clergy i'll Lawrence, in
this state. This was much needed, and
will prevent any such wretched operations
as have, in these two notable Instances,
caused untold Wretchedness among the
poor laity of the Roman church. The
second change is an imitation OF the Gus
tom observed in the Anglican churches
in England and America, where the priest
is called rector Hereafter all the Roman
clergy in charge of parishes will be called
rectors and will be shOrn OF their prlestly
name, though not of their priestly charac-
ter. They will still offer the sacrifice of
the cross in the mass, but by the laity
their true positions as clergymen will he
better understood. They Will be rescrict-
ed also in the handling of money. Their
salaries will be.regulated by the diocesan
synods and everything given to them in Il
! general way must 90 to the church. They
will not be allowed to make the usual
Christmas and Easter collections, except
| where the parish is too poor to pay the
salary. They cannot handle any money
for any purposes without the bishops con
sent, and all their funds must be banked
in the bishops name. They cannot re
ceive Il dollar for which they do not give
account The third change is quite ~
radical. 1t provides for the appointment
of Il committee of trustees among the
! laity III each parish, whom the rector Is 10
name, and whom the bishop Will approve
of. To this board the rector Will make an
annual report of the financial condition OF
the church. which shall be subject to their
examination and approval He must &C
count for his parochial expenditures, both
to the bishop and to the people, and has
no chance to abuse financial trust, il he
would. While these changes must be
regarded rs both wise and proper, they
will restrain n class of men who have
seemed to exercise great freedom III imam,
cal and ecclesiastical matters, ana Will
bring the Roman church under practically
the same regulations which have been
found To be worth while for working
church among the protestant bodies

A Wonderful Spring in Florida.

The finest spring of water l ever
saw" said passenger from Florida,
.'is down in fernando county. on the
gulf side. The land is high and rolling
and not flat and swampy, as most Of
Florida is, and as most folks think it all
is. The Wekowechee River in that
county is twelve miles long, and about
the prettiest stream ever saw. 1t is
made entirely by one spring, and this
spring is sixty feet in diameter. You
can row a boat right into it, but you
can't made boat stay in the center, as
the force of the water rising throws it
gently to one side. A small steamer
can navigate the river. whose banks are
high and covered with foliage. This
spring has the purest water that ever
flowed out of the earth. 1t is seventy
feet to bottom, and you can see a dime
down there just as plain as you can in a
glass of water. In the river you can
see fish twenty rods away. Not the
slightest trace of organic matter can be
found in the spring water. This river
and spring, by the way, have been pur-
chased by two Chicago gentlemen.
They got some 1000 acres of land there
for something like $4,000, and they will
make fortune out of it. 1t is the most
beautiful spring in America ~ Chicago
