BISHOP POTTER AND HIS CRITICS.
No other feature of the Centennial cele-
bration has attracted greater attention
and has been more widely aud thoroughly
discussed than Bishop PorrER's sermon.
10 is two weeks since it was delivered be-
fore an audience OF the great guns Of the
country and the discussion is still on full.
While some Of his utterances might be
Justly criticized, the merits Of the sermon
ON the whole. have been made clearer by
this discussion and unbiased people recog-
nizs the fact that it WAS a worthy eXer-
else OF the rights and conscientious par-
Torrance Of the duties Of his religious
Office.
1t has been said that the sermon was de-
hvered at the wrong time, inasmuch as
the anniversary was devoted to National
rejoicing and thanksgiving and that il
was discourteous TO the President and
other high officers who we're present The
critics. who have adopted this view, ap-
parently overlook the difference between
the position OF Christian preacher speak
Ing from the pulpit and that Of an ordinary
speaker who ia expected to add - the en-
ioyments Of festive occasion by some
pleasant remarks. the bishop spoke the
truth there was no litter time than the
centennial anniversary, and no filter place
than the sacred huilding in which his
words were uttered, and it was eEinently
proper to preach such a sermon before
such an audience, which. 10 a certain
sense represented the country The bish-
op could not be suspected Of taking a par
tsan view Of the Administration chosen
by party with which he Is personally
known to be in sympathy. But if the
standard of high sense OF public duty
cannot be upheld without involving re-
buke Of that Administration, it is certain
ly not the preacher who ought to he
blamed.
With the noble example set by WASH
INGroN Bishop POTTER compared the low
conception Of public duty and public
affairs and the moral degradation Of high
official position in our own time. What
occasion more fitting sucha comparison
than the centennial of WASHING
TONS inauguration Bishop PorrER
would have been false to his cloth and
false TO the country represented IN his
audience had he closed his eyes to these
alarming faults Of the generation and de-
voted his sermon to Gathering COMPARE
son between. for instance, the present
size, population, wealth, and material
progress Of the country and the condition
Of the United States in the time Of the
inst President IL is not in these things
that we see the real progress and prospects
Of nation. Empires grander in proper
ton than the United States have fallen.

heavy load at the foot of BlackwOOd's hill,
and the team he had being daisies to draw

CAUGHT A TARTAR.

Our esteemed prohibition contemporary
and national organ Of It's party, the New
York Voice, has run its head against very
hard stone wall in the person of Probate
Judge WIDAMAN, of Kansas. The editor
addressed a letter to Mr.. WIDANAN
touching the operation of the prohibition
law in that State, and asking for such
letter Of ties .imony as may be used to adj
vantage in the great fights now pending
for Constitutional Prohibition.
The answer of the Probate Judge, which
is given below, will hardly answer tine pur-
pose Of the Voice
CIRCULAR.
1I How successfully has Prohibition closed
the saloons in your part OF the state
Arsrer-It has closed the saloons by creating
double the number Of olives Joints and
bootleg dispensatories, and making perurers
ont OF otherwise truthful men.
I'd To what extent, in your Judgment, has It
diminished drunkenness and the consumption
OF intoxicants for beverage purposes
ausuer-It has increased the number of drunk
ards. has decreased the use Of light drinks, and
made more general the consumption Of low
grade of Kansas "kill-me-Quick' whisky
el In your Judgment has not the loss Of the
revenue from iOrmer saloon licenses been more
Than made good by the decreasing burdens OF
pRuperism and crime resulting from PrOhioiuoni
and'by the directing OF the money formerly spent
iu the saloons now into legitimate channels OF
trade
Aaoosr-No Under the present law the rate
oftaxation has increased. and this is especially
TINE and noticeable I'm the towns and cities.
I'D Would YOU advise the re-establishment OF
the saloons. breweries and distileries in kansas
undera HIGH License law es means calculated
to bench. the social and business interests oil the
State
Ansoer-Yes. A respectable saloon would suit
our people better. and be less degrading than a
ioint 10 some old shed or barn-made necessary
10 drinkers, and a creature Of the Prohibition
law.

VOLUNTARY CONFESSION.
George Augustus sala Relates How Pigott
Told His Story.

George Augustus Sala Relates How Pigoti
Told His Story.
LONDON, February 27.-Mr. George Au.
gustus Sala writes to the Telegraph an ar.
ticle column and half long describing the
interview on Saturday between Pigott and
Mr.. Labouchere. 1t is written in the usual
gossippy style of Mr. Sala and confirms the
statement that Pigott went to M. Labou-
chere's house voluntarily to make confes-
sion, but that, apparently owing to the
gnawing of his conscience, he had great diff
fculty in owning up, and took full ten
minutes to make up his mind.
He then began. in a musing tone, a
soliloquy, but by degrees his voice rose, and
he became as fluent that it was rarely neces-
sary for him to halt or recon struct a phrase.
The copy of the confession which Mr.. Lewis
literally and verbally the composition OF
Pigott, who confessed that he forged the
Parnell letters, and minutely described the
manner in which they were written. Pigott
said that he alone executed the forgeries.
Mr.. Sala continues:
Whether he is telling the truth or another
batch of lies is not for me to determine, but to
my mind he seemed to be confessing facts, and
nothing but facts. No pressure was
tions were asked. He went on quietly and
continuously to the end of his story. should
have thought it amazing had l not had occa-
sion to hear many more astounding tales.
Pigott did not appear to be overcome by shame
and treated his actions more as incidental
weaknesses. Both myself and Mr.. Labouchere
as he left, wished him well out of it.
2 The Times continues to advertise the
pamphlet on ''Parnellism and Crime" with
the alleged fac simile letter of Mr.. Parnell.
