EVERYBODY admits that John Schafer,
Dr., would make capable and trusts
worthy county treasurer. Unquestion-
able honesty is the first requisite of a
man who aspires to be the custodian of
the county funds, and this quality is
Schafer's most marked characteristic.
He has never been guilty of any doubtful
act; no damaging stories have ever been
circulated about him. There is not an
incident il his past life that requires
either suppression or explanation. In
local elections the people are not so much
interested in politics IS in seeing the best
men put in Office. For this reason we
predict that John Schafer will be elect

general congress of the Episcopal church
thinks that there is a good deal, for the
eminent diVines and laymen that compose
the popular branch of that august Assem-.

in discussing a proposed change of title
The proposition was introduced By Post
master Judd, of Chicago. and WAS 20 the
effect that the words Protestant Episco
PAL be expunged from the title, and the
general understanding was that motion
to replace them by the words American
Catholic" would follow. The proposition
was voted down, however, by a consid-
cradle majority and for the present. at
least, the venerable church will continue
to be known by its historic name, under
which il has faced both adversely and
prosperity.
