ARCHDEACON FARRAR

Declares for General Booths Plan in Un-
qualified Terfns-T The Evil Exists and the
Church of England Cannot Cure 1.-THE
Objections Raised to it.
Archdeacon T. w. Farrar, writing upon
General Booths book, I'm Darkest En-
gland" commits himself uuQualihedly to
the plan therein set forth. 1t seems to him
that it will be little short of q national
calamity to England if the means are not
forthcoming to render it possible for the
great experiment at least to be tried upon an
adequate scale.
He takes Tor granted two great facts, first
that great amount OF squalor, vice, crime,
destitution and misery exists in England, and
second that the church, while meaning we'll,
has failed to reach the class that needs its
care. The church has made no concentrat-
ed, no coherent endeavor TO plunge down to
the very depths of the turbid ocean and res
cue the perishiug, to dig down to the very
roots Of the social distras-snd stub them up.
this scheme will injure the work of the
Church OF England; second, that it will
withdraw money from other agencies that
are now doing good; third, that it will in-
crease the number of tramps and worthless
paupers, and lastly that the scheme origi-
mates with the Salvation Army.
Archdeacon Farrar believes that the
work will strengthen the Church of Eng
land; that the success of this scheme will
rather stimulate philanthropy in other
directions, because it will show what good,
we'll directed charity will accomplish; that
it will not increase tramps, because the foun-
dation principles of the whole scheme are
work ard discipline, not aims, anG, finally,
that it does not matter from what source the
reform comes, so it is reform. While he
cannot iully commend some of the methods
of the Salvation Army, he declares it has
saved many souls and done much good. He
can tolerate drums and tambourines if they
will lead the way out of Darkest Eng
land"

How absurd!

cumstances in order to get at the regenera-
tion OF his heart is the difference between the
method of the gardener who gratis ribstone
pippin on crabapple tree and one who
merely ties apples with strings upon the
branches of the crab. To change the nature
of the individual. to get at the heart, to save
his soul is the only real, lasting method OF
doing him any good"
That is as true as truth. God bless

ing. God help US out of our nine

real beginnings of Christian civilization.

An Opinion That Saved One of His Clients a
Big Pile of Money.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH,
Speaking of Senatorial lawyers, there is
no man in public life who would make a
more able Supreme Court Justice than Sem
ator George F. Edmunds. He is well-to-do,
it is said, has fine hone in Washington,
and he would be a very strong man on the
bench. His advice is often asked as to Su-
preme Court questions and he gets as high
as S., 600 for single opinion. There was
railroad case in which his opinion saved
$3.50, 900 for his clients.
The case had been tried by the ablest law
yers in the United States. 1t was appealed
to the Supreme Court and ten days before
the decision was to be rendered jaw Gould,
who was a defendant, offered compromise
for $3.50, 600 instead of risking a decision
against him for the amount claimed, which
was $500, COO. The parties who brought the
suit hestated. Three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was better than nothing,
and the Supreme Court might give them
nothing. They finally concluded to get Ed
munds' opinion on the case and to follow his
advice. They presented it to him. He ad-
vised them not to accept the compromise
and the result was that ten days later they
got Judgment for their full half million.

JAMESON LOVES COACHING.

Something About the Head of the Philadel-
phia Banking Firm.
New YORK World.l
Ever since he ceased to be member OF
the New York Stock Exchange, B. K. Jami-
son, the elderly Philadelphian whose
failure was recently announced, has been a
figure o. some picturesque interest, not
only in New York but in National affairs
as we'll. His flowing sandy whiskers and
his rich Scotch brogue, his tally-ho and mis-
long coaching tours, not only with Blaine
and other well-known people here and
abroad, but with parties of choice and
thirsty spirits, whose arrival always gave
the rural bartender a sort OF nervous chill,
have served to make Jamison parsonage of
some note.
And it was generally understood that the
"Ram bler's" long trips in Pennsylvania at
least were shrewdly calculated to have an
advertising value. since the country bank
in any town visited by Mr.. Jamison's coach
was sooner or later expected to make Jami-
sons clearinghouse its Philadelphia de-
pository. Since the young, old and middle
aged Rockets" were fooled through the
environs of Paree last summer, Carnegie
and Jamison have been the most eminent
coaching figures in the public eye.

said: ''In spite of the quite general i'm
preston and common newspaper report that
Mr.. CleveIand's friends are organizing to
promote his nomination again in 1892, there
isn't one OF them who is doing anything in
that direction. There are no conferences,
no consultations, no directions from any
source, nothing in the way of preconcerted
effort or action.
"Mr. Cleveland himself has given no
word to any one on this subject, and GER
tainly is not directing this or that thing to
be done in his interest. The report is as
erroneous as the other story that Mr.. Cleye-

tary Willetts, OF Jere Rusk's department.,
that the wife of General Clarkson chafed a
great deal over this social distinction. and
that she was glad when her husband re-
signed his place in the Postofice Depart
ment. Official distinctions in society have,
however. always existed in Washington, and
I am Eot certain but that in the early days
OF the republic the lines were not drawn
closer they now are.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIS PATcH.I
Senator Spooner has not yet decided what
he will do when his present term in the
Senate ends, but the probability Is that he
will practice law in Milwaukee. He is one
of the brightest lawyers in the United
States, and he was getting $4,000 a year
from one railroal at the time he was elected
to the Senate. He could get a salary twice
as big as that of a Supreme Court Justice
from another road, but this would necessi-
tate his leaving the State of Wisconsin,
which he does not wish to do.
In the meantime, he is fond of Washing
ton lif. and he might probably take the
Attorney Generalship ii it were offered to
him, and Judge Miller were elevated to the
Supreme Bench. Senator Spooner says the
public school law was the cause Of the Re
publican defeat in Wisconsin, and that the
question OF his return to the Senate did not
enter into the canvass.

ii the best interviewer in the world, even if his

talking is a settled policy. He prefers to be
known as silent, rather than a talkative
man-as a worker, rather than as an agi-

A QUESTION OF THE NOW,

"wbat is to be done with John Jones?
of the natural laws governing the struggle
for existence will result in the survival of
the fttest, and that in the course of few
ages, more or less, a much nobler type will
be evolved. But, meanwhile, what is to be
done with John Jones? The Socialist tells
me that the great social revolution is loom
ing large on the horizon. In the good time
coming, when wealth will be redistributed
and private property abolished, all stomachs
will be filled and there will be
no more John Joneses impatlently clam
oring for opportunity to work that they
may not die. 1t may be so, but in the
meantime here is John Jones growing more
impatient than ever because hungrier, who
wonders if he is to wait for dinner till the
social revolution has arrived. That is the
question. When the sky falls we
shall catch larks. But in the meantime?"
Another good thing about this plan is
that great deal which it proposes has been
tried and found efectual. With the means
which 1t can command, and according to
the measure of its strength, the Salvation
Army has now for some years past been
doing civilizng and Christianizirg work in
darkest England" along these very lines.
1t has been tried. 1t can be done.
The best thing of all about the plan is
that it begins with God, and is
all the way carried through, rely
ing upon God, following the will
of God, and for the glory Of God.
These will never be genuinely uplifted, the
originator Of this plan maintains, by giving
them work or dinners or even university ed
ucation.

anxious to procure a material that
would withstand the action Of the
