ganized piutocracy. The influence of the money power on the nation has never been shown more strikingly than since the republican party came into power in 1861, and that influence has grown steadily since to make its great est outbreak in the election of last No vember. The vast moneyed interests whose growth lay in the continuance of a war tariff took it upon themselves to insure the return to power of a party and policy that would enable them to grind the fat out of the pockets of the common people, and the result was that never before did money play so impor- tant part in national election. Never before was so shameless prostitution of the sanctity of the ballot, and never be- fore does history record so bare-faced a success of the reign of plutocracy. Is it any wonder that reflecting men like Bishop Potter should raise their voices in deprecation of this great danger! the danger from plutocracy corrupting the ballot box and defeating the will of the people that confronts our institu- tions? The only wonder is that more men who are the natural leaders of pub lie opinion cannot get outside the thick shell of partlsanship that encases them and rise to the dignity of the occasion that calls for plain and unmincing speech.
 Bishop Potter did. we'll in speaking unreservedly as he did in the presence of a man who personities in his political success the conquest of the great Ameri- can plutocracy. And if his boldness and patriotism should encourage others to attack the demon that is fastening its clutches on. this fair land the exercises at St Pauls will not have been wholly with out fruit.

BISHOP POTTER's WARNING

What Chauncey Depew and President Harrison left unsaid on the occasion of their centennial address was to a certain extent supplied by the outspoken Bishor Henry c. Potter in his sermon at St Pauls. That the vigorous truths uttered ln the sermon came with the strength of warning cannot be doubted from the at. tention they have attracted from all classes of the people.
 But Bishop Potter might have gone very much farther in his characterization of the evils that beset this nation as it crosses the threshold of it's second century. On occasions like that or which he spoke mems minds ought to be receptive and disposed to measure spoken words in scales balanced by their obser- vation of contemporary and their know. ledge of written history. So he should have felt encouraged to reason from effect to cause. and while he bravely pointed out the dangers that come from the growth of wealth, the prevalence of luxury, the massing of large material forces, which by their very existence are standing menace to the freedom and in- tegrity of the individual he should not have hesitated to look to the causes tha t have precipitated this condition of things. Where exists cause there will always be found an effect, and if we would re- move the effect we must first see to it that the cause no longer exists. The steadily .deteriorating process" which Bishop Potter observes in almost all de- partments of official and private life is the concentration of power in an or
