The Methodi.ts and the Third Party.

Chaplain MeCabe, known and loved oy every
Union soldier for his services rendered in the
civil war, and now the general secretary of the
". Z. Church Missionary Society when in the
city yesterday, in conversation with Q Journal
reporter, took occasion to set at rest the claim
that the resolution passed by the last general con-
Terence was intended in any sense as an indcrse-
ment or the Prohibition third party and its then
prospective candidates, Messrs. Fisk and Brooks.
That resolution he said, was introduced by
DIR. Dorchester, of Boston, Mass, and when
passed was Understood TO mean. as 1t did mean,
that we We're in favor of the best means Of pro-
noting temperance. AS to what constitutes
the best means OF promoting temperance. there
Is some difference Of opinion. General Fisk. as
n member OF the committee and convention,
voted for the resolution referred 10, ADD doubt
less put bis own construction upon IL. The large
majority OF us seem to have taken q view OF
IT other than lis. We believe in prohibition,
but a large majority also believe IN the Re
publican party. and think at this time the
urgent need Is to get this government
oct of Democratic control. AS Mt. Lincoln put
II, One war at . time Some of US may favor
local option and some oppose 1t, but there are
very few Of Us who are in favor Of q third party
as a temperance aid at this i~uncture. OF our

posed TO such a movemsnt. The rest may favor
the Prohibition ticket, tut the majority, / think,

seuted as seeking any offensive promi-

would rather De called a partisan than misun-
derstood in the matter. and whatever force or To-

Publican ticket a. the coming election. What
better exemplar OF the temperance cause can be
found than General Harrisonl Has anybody

What the Coroner's Office Costs.

An investigation OF the records IN the audi
tors Office shows that the statement of Dr..
Rocker TO the effect that he drew less than
81 900 for the period he acted as coroner ia not
true. The vouchers show be drew 81. $50 60.
The following figures. examined and approved
by the board as correct, show the expenses OF
the coroners Office under DR.. Wagner and his
predecessors:
For fiscal wear ending May 81, 1ss6...---$4, 1913 81
For fiscal year ending May 81, 1S87...... A, 1865
For fiscal year ending May 81. 1855. 2,79S.S5
IL will be seen that q material! reduction began
in 1887. when DIR. Wagner took possession of the
Office in January OF that year. and his bill to the
end OF the fiscal year. four and one-half months,
was only 1891. 90, while the account of his pre-
d~ecessors for seven and one-half months of that
year cost the county 50, 1888. In this connec-
lion DR.. Wagner charges that in the desperate
straits OF the County Commissioners to hide
these figures. vouchers drawn by Sheriff King
and Clerk Sullivan nave been charged to the
coroner's account TO make ti}sweli. This, the
Doctor Gays. has been done on incuests he never
held. DR.. Wagner has secured possession OF .
la-ge number of the printed reports of the com
missionsrs, which he will distribute among the
tax payers of tia county to show the desperate
game Of the gang that is trying 10 defeat him.

appears, a success. Work contracted for by

planstion as to his relation TO the trouble, i, hav-
ing been asserted by . number OF the bosses that
he Was urging it on for political effect.
Mr.. Hudson then made an explanation.
The meeting was held with closed doors, but il
was learned that he denied the accusation made
against him. he excused the fact OF his paying
mis- men $3.50 a day by the statement that it
was no more than enough reeompense for the
character of labor.
The statement failed to impress the bosses.
some OF them say. inasmuch that when one OF
their mum Der drew M a resolution of denial that
the statement published in the Journal had orig
mated from their organized body. 1t failed
to be adopted and was laid on the table.
Several objected 10 the passage of such q reso-
luton, saying that their organization was not
political, and 1t was entirely out of order TO
consider the matter. Mr.. Hudson was very
angry. Prior TO and after the meeting q
number of the bosses, who are Democrats. as
serted that they still believe that Hudson
was responsible for the strike. They
claim that he knew an advanced scale conld
not be paid By the other bosses without raising
the price on the patrons; that he knew. or
was receiving So 90 a dag those Of the other
hrms would, on learning what he was paying,
