Crusade of the Clergy.

Ministers Of the gospel in New York city
have become aroused to a high pitch Of
righteous Indignation against the corrupt
practices prevalent in the politics Of the
metropolis. So they have decided to take
| the whole matter into their own gentle
hands and administer fitting rebuke to
the depraved politicians.
Politics seems to have a peculiarly de-
moralizing effect upon many who come in
contact with its insidious influence. Bad
men become worse and good men become
lax in morality as soon as they enter the
alluring vortex. He is a man of the most
extraordinarily strong probity Of character,
who is able TO resist the temptations that
constantly beset him on every hand.
Many a good man has attempted to re-
form politics and politicians by impressiDg
his own individuality and moral influence
upon bis surroundings only to find himself
eventually overwhelmed by a tide too
strong for his powers of resistance.
In expounding the gospel and ministering
to the spiritual needs of the distressed and
forlorn. the good dominies serve a worthy
purpose in the world. But as politicians
the ablest Ct them are rank failure. Try
ing to stamp the impress Of their pious
example upon the scared soul of the political
heller is a waste Of precious time. Though
he may be irresistibly convincing and
effective in the pulpit, in the hands Of the
ward worker he is as simple as a child
and quite as gullible. He is guileless
enough to believe what is told him, which
is rarely true. And he eventually falls In
with the methods of practical politics or
leaves the arena filed with disgust
Notwithstanding all these irreconcilable
incongruities, the ministers of New York
city have decided to take the reins of city
government and aid the Peoples Municipal
League, which has already spent several
thousand dollars in elegantly printed ad-
dresses to the voters. Over 100 ministers,
representing all denominations, met last
week for that purpose.
This movement" as Elder Shepard would
call it, is irreverently known to the Goth
antics as the white Neckle Crusade"
Some of the dominies got pretty hot over
the first resolutions. and became infused
with that infectious enthusiasm peculiarly
characteristic OF and inseparable from poll
tics. Toward the end of the meeting the
discussion reached pitch of animation
which in picturesque and fervid repartee
closely resembled an assemblage of war
workers on the eve of campaign.
Still the gentlemen dispersed in an orderly
manner without soiling their immaculate
white ties or in anywise damaging the fur
niture. But their evident determination
no good to the tricksters. and their eager
earnestness proves them capable Of no little
exertion upon occasion.
In denouncing the political factions which
rule the city the reverend gentlemen en-
ployed some rather vigorous English, but
not more so than the subject deserves.
Some of the most eminent divines in the
metropolis are identified with the crusade

Spoiled the Sermon.

1t was in Breathitt county, Kentucky. For
several months an evangelist had been laboring
with the mountaineers, trying TO turn them
from their evil ways. says the Chicago Herald
Every lite while something would turn up
and undo the labor Of months. Then the peo-
pie would seem to take an increased interest in
matters OF religion: AID hope would bud again
IN the evangelist's breast
On Sunday the little chapel on the mountain
SIDE was crowded, and the evangelist was ex-
nor1ng his hearers to leave their rifles and
hunting knives at home when they 90 to church.
IN the course Of half an hour he grew elo-
quent, and was just thinking that be was going
to carry his point when fat buck trotted past
the chapel ard disappeared in the laurel thicket.
An OLD hound that was sleeping in the chapel
door gave yelp and started after the buck and
the male portion OF the congregation grabbed
their rifles and followed without waiting for a
motion to adjourn. When they we're out Of
slgnt the evangelist said in despair:

Dr.. Macune and Georgia Politics

LIZ hdCuAc anu georgia FOlC1C6.
The MORNING NEWS stated the other day
that it would doubtless appear that Gov.
Gordon did not attack DIR. Macune in his
speeches because the latter Withdrew as a
director of the 81, 600, 900 cotton seed oil and
paper company, of which the governor is
president. and which, as yet, is only a COM
pany on paper. The inference to be- drawn
from Dr. Macune's card was that the gov
ernor attacked him because he did not ap-
prove the governors proposition to give the
directors some of the stock of the company,
and also because he withdrew as a director
of the company.
The governor, in his statement IN reply to
DIR. Macunes card, says that the reason. and
the only reason, he attacked DIR. Macune
was that DR.. Macune attacked him throug b
his paper, the Southern Alliance Farmer.
He did not assail DR.. Macune first; he
simply struck back when assaulted. That
is what the governor says, and it is to be
presumed that he was satisfied that DR.,
Macune owned either a controlling interest.
or a large interest, in the Southern Alliance
Fla rnaer.
The publication relative to the cotton
seed oil and paper company cannot damage
Gov. Gordon in the estimation OF thinking
people. The company is not new thing.
For over two years it has been in existence,
and there is nothing to show that it is not
perfectly legitimate enterprise. 1t was
certainly considered TO be SO by DR..
Macune and other prominent alli-
ancemen who became connected with
it. And from what the governor
says DR.. Macune did not object to the propo-
sition to give the directors of the company a
certain amount of tie stock when his atten-
ton was first called to it. He did not con-
denim it as wrong at that time There was.
in fact, nothing wrong il it, because, as the
governor explains, the directors were ex-
pected to earn all the stock they received.
1t would have been wrong for the directors
to have accepted the stock without having
earned it.
But does 1t not appear that DR.. Macune.
in view of the fact that he is not resident
of the state, is taking very active part in
Georgia's political affairsl Surely Geor gia
democrats, whether they are connected
with the alliance or not, are not in need of
an outsider to direct them in the choice of
United States senator. They certainly
know much better than DR.. Macune
whether or not they want Gov. Gordon for
senator
DR.. Macune, of course, has q right to

Police in Cities.

Before the congress of the National Prison
Association at Cincinnati, yesterday, Supt
Charles E. FELTON,, of the Chicago
House of Correction, as chairman of the
committee on police, read a report, in which
he made a strong "protest against political
intermeddling" and plea for greater eff
fort to prevent crime. 1t deals chiefly with
the police organization of large cities after
alphabetically showing by the Greek deriva-
tion of the word that it applies only to city
government Then he proceeds to set forth
the essential characteristics of the true DO
liceman.
'In person." he says, "a policeman should
be able-bodied and of good physique; pure
in morals and scrupulously honest; keen as
an observer and with intellect to instantly
comprehend the purpose of any act done
or attempted, and anticipate the result that
must follow, that he may prevent disorder
or crime and make an arrest by summary
exercise of his authorized or assumed con-
troll. He should be level-headed and insen-
sible to fear while in discharge Of his duty:
and should be the servant only of the law,
and in no manner the subservient tool of
any man or party"
That describes a very beautiful ideal
policeman. But unfortunately for the citi>
zen and taxpayer Of to-day there are very
few of him now living. And if his name
was legion, the law should never permit him
to do many of the things of which Mr..
FELTON, has made him capable. He is
altogether too apt to make an arrest by
L
assumed control" That is just where the
law ought to slightly restrain the impetuous
| action of his crlme-scenting genius.
There is altogether too much of
that assumed control" Policemen are
not likely to possess a sufficient modicum Of
| judicial fairness and deliberative Judgment
to warrant intrusting wholly to them such
broad discretionary powers as would
authorize the summary exercise" of
assumed control" Far better is it to let
him act within prescribed limits, and when
he obeys Instructions he does well. Some
times such a precautionary course will
slightly curtail his usefulness, but it is on
| the side of safety.
General good character and perfect self
command, and personal courage and in
tegrity should be indispensable qualifica-
tions for appointment. But it is no less i'm
portant that the officer should not be author
lied to make arrests without warrant of law.
| That is trenching upon civil liberty in a
way that should not be tolerated any
where. That the administration of civil
law should be wholly divorced from poll
tics is of the highest Importance. Upon
that point all will cordially agree with Mr.
FELTON,. Fettered by any exterior iufiu-
ence the efficiency Of the police organization
is greatly impaired.
AT the same time each officer should be
distinctly impressed with the fact that he is
nothing more nor less than private citizen
unless called upon to prevent an overt in-
fraction of law. Otherwise he has no
more right to MODEST a citizen than any
other person.
