PLAcATING AMERICAN SENTIMENT.
The Closing Session at Buffalo OF the Ger
man Priesten Verein.

The Closing Session at Buffalo OF the Ger
man Priesten yerein.
BUFFALO, Sept. 24.-A clever stroke to-day
marked the final session of the Priesten
Verein, or GerInan-American Clerical Union.
A non-member, one who speaks German
like native so that it cannot be said a
point could escape him, was brought into
the meeting at its beginning and given an
an opportunity to see it through to close.
The outsider was an Irishman, with the un-
mistakeable patronymic OF O'Byrne. Seem
ingly the verein took this method to
counteract the unpleasant impression
caused by their exclusion of Father Zucher,
the noted Buffalo champion of anti-Cahens-
ly1sm. The gist of Father Zucner's
charges was that the Clerical Union was an
un-American secret organization, designed
to Germanize as far as possible the control
of the Catholic Church In the United States
by securing the appointment of members of
the union to higher ecclesiastical offices,
displacing particularly bishops Of Irish ex-
traction who were not in favor of the Ger
man language in America. The tactics
disposing of these accusations to the salts
faction at least of the members of the Verein
began last night.
To-day's session was chiefly devoted to
balloting for officers, in which the we'll
known clerics who have heretofore guided
the projects of the verein easily distanced
all competitors. Vicar General lMuehlsiepen,
of st. Louis, retains the Presidency; the
Vice President is DR.. Meisner, of Peru, Ind;
Father william Taebe, of st. Louis, Secre-
tary; Father Duffner, OF Buffalo, Treasurer.
For the office OF committeeman to secure n
place for next years meeting there was the
liveliest sort of a contest. Father Boerne-
man, of Reading, was reelected, but it was
afterward decided to appoint with him
second committeeman, and Rev. William
Nettstraeter of Chicago. was the successful
candidate. Milwaukee and st. Louis were
proposed as the next place of meeting. 1t
Is said that st. Paul was suggested, notwfth-
standing it is the Cathedral city of Arch
bishop ireland. popularity supposed TO be
the bftterest enemy of the verein.
A fine spread, at which Archbishop Kat
zer Bishop Otto Zardettr, Bishop Wigger
and some 200 German priests participated,
closed the Congress.

Children on the Street.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch;
In these days OF rapid cable and electric
cars parents should pay more attention to
their children than they do Only yester-
day rode from East Liberty in to the city
upon one of the cable cars and on no less
than eight occasions did children run into
the street and 80 near the car that the grip
man had to slow up on their account. Some
OF the little boys actually stood on the track
until the grip car was within few feet OF
them and then they jumped aside, laughing
at the trouble they had caused the grip
man. II the parents could by some means
make these little people understand the
danger they run, accidents might be less
frequent. II the parents will not take the
matter in hand then the police should be in
structed to force the children to keep upon
the sidewalk unless accompanied by an
adult. The teachers in the public schools
along the lines of the roads should also be
requested to warn the children to be more
careful. It is not pleasant for passenger TO
think that at any moment the car may run
over a child. PARENT

A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE LADIES.
The Second Days Session Of the Ohio Meth
odist Episcopal Conference.

LANEsvILLE, Sept. A.-[SpecidL 1.-The Sec
ond DAYS session of the Ohio NJ E. Confer
ence was occupied principally in hearing the
reports of the presiding elders of the dis
trfct They have all thus far recorded an
increase over last year in moneys collected
for missionary purposes and for pastors
salaries. The largest vote on the question
of admitting women as lay delegates to the
Electoral and General Conferences was re-
ported by Rev o. C.. Kelly, of the Lancaster
district. The members of the conference
voted on the question this morning. On
motion of Rev. DR.. Moore, editor of the
Western Christian advocate the vote was
taken without discussion. One hundred and
twenty-three voted for and &c against their
admission.
The only motion thus far which has tended
to provoke discussion was one by Rev. J. &.
Jackson, d. D., in favor of establishing
training schools in the slums ottthe larger
cities. 1t was opposed by Rev. d. w. Moore,
of Cincinnati, on the ground that there was
already too much machinery attached to
the church. A general discussion WAS pre-
vented by referring the matter to the Com
mittee on Young Peoples Societies.

CHINA SEEKS For PEACE.

China has sent its fleets to the scene of
the recent troubles, with instructions to
protect foreigners from violence. At the
same time the Chinese Charge d'Affaires
states that he has been instructed to ask
France to postpone action untilit is known
what effect the feet will have on those
who are bent on driving foreigners out of
the country. 1t is hard to tell what the
European powers would have China do,
more than she is doing. She has punished
the instigatOrs of the riots with mercileS
severity. 1t is only short time since sew
eral of them were beheaded Large
bodies of troops have been sent to every
locality where there was any sign of dis
turbance and now the navy has been
called upon to keep the peace.
China, however, is menaced by three
European powers, England, France and
Germany The pretext is that the Gov
ernment has failed in its duty toward their
subjects living under its protection. The
dispatches have announced that the three
powers have gone so far as to threaten an
attack upon that country. Such an at
tack would cause the overthrow of the
present dynasty and produce a reign of
anarchy. Perhaps, for purposes of their
own, this is what the powers desire.

THE ENGLISH SCANDAL.

The verdict of the English Jury in the
baccarat case yesterday proves the idea
that the plaintiff might gain verdict or a
mated the effect of Sir Edward Clarke's
counter attack on the Prince of Wales and
his entourage.
While the audacity Of the attack may
have evoked expressions of public SYM
pathy, the theory of the defense was such
that when submitted to single moments s
cool reflection it would not hold water. 1t
represented the plaintiff as an honorable
man of high character actually submitting
and practically pleading guilty to the
charge of swindling at cards to save the
Prince of Wales. To save him from what?
From having it known that he had been
playing cards for money, which every well
informed Englishman already knew he
did For that reason it was alleged that
an honorable man accepted a disgrace
which no honorable man could accept, and
then dragged the scandal into court when
the matter got abroad The theory was so
manifestly constructed to meet the emer-
gency that it could not win verdict from
any jury capable of thinking for itself.
The verdict was the only one possible on
the evidence, and the world will have little
doubt that it correctly sets forth the fact
that the charge of cheating at cards was
well founded. None the less the scandal
is the severest blow that the superstition
of English royalty has received for many
years.

SUCCESS BY DIsFRANCHIsEMENT.

A remarkable view of the principles
Democratic organs advocate with regard
to claiming election to position is presented
byan editorialin the New York San. That
journal advises the supporters of Judge
Morris to stick to their claims, because,
although the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Branford case is adverse,
''the main point of legality is the in
ability to go behind the returns and ''to
upset these legally declared returns, =" ac-
cording to the position of the Sun.
In other words the Democratic principle
is that if a candidate secures a prima
facie election by the exclusion of votes
legally cast, and the legality of the votes
is afterward established by the highest
authority, the candidate shall stick to the
position. This would amount to the
practical Acknowledgement of legal voters,
and means that If man can get himself
counted in it is all right.
1t is clear that this partisan Idea wholly
nullifies the Democratic principle that
election to Office should depend on the ex-
pressed will of the electors, according to
the methods laid down in the Constitution
For the same thing the Democratic organs
have denounced Republican ofice-holders
as holding by fraudulent title.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1891.
THE MYSTERY UNEXPLAINED.

Mr.. John Wanamaker's statement be-
fore the committee investigating the Phil
adelphia bank failure goes fully into his
relations with that unfortunate concern.
He declares his dealings with the bank
were entirely in the line of legitimate busi-
ness; that all paper issued by his firm and
discounted by the bank has been paid at
matdritv. and that he has not in any way
been cognizant of or profted by the diver
sion of funds which caused the wreck of
the Keystone Bank. Before this state
ment the intimations of secret conHec-
ton between Mr.. Wanamaker and the
wreck must fail unless they can be sup
ported by definite allegations in contraven-
ton to those of Mr.. Wanamaker.
Nevertheless there are mysteries in con-
nection with the bank failure which re-
quire explanation and upon which no
light has yet been thrown. Millions of
public and private money have disap-
peared without any sufficient explanation
of their disappearance. An unexplained
and unjustifable delay in closing the bank
bv the Government authorities enabled
some one to get out of the wreck. 1t is
necessary to probe into the matter until it
is found out what influence prevented an
early and thorough investigation by the
Government authorities, and what secured
the plea of guilty by the defaulting City
Treasurer yesterday, thus cutting off
further trial When that is found out the
investigators will be very close to the par
ties who profted by the plunder of the
bank
If the investigation by city authority
does not disclose this needed information
the United States Government should take
a hand. The credit of the administration
is involved in disclosing the means by
which its supervision of the national banks
failed to prevent or detect the complete
cutting of an important institution.

LITERATURE AND NEWSPAPERS.

The Psalmist has informed us that Of
making of books there is no end. Yet the
proposition is plain one that the manu-
faeturer of books cannot go On unless the
reading of them proceeds with equal step.
1t is therefore surprising to learn that
high church authority in England has
deemed it Unnecessary to admonish the clergy
on keeping up their reading. The Arch
deacon Of Carlisle laments the decay of
literary taste among the clergy of England,
and thinks that they as well as the laymen
may become the victims of the ephemeral
newspapers and magazines.
1t seems that this clerical authority is
more anxious to maintain the reputation
of the CHURCH of England for learning than
to extend its labors for the improvement
and elevation of the poor. 1t is also inter-
csting that his standard of learning and
literary taste, like that recently set up by
some critics on this side the ocean, ex-
cludes the knowledge of the present age,
which is necessary TO make learning of
practical use, and condemns the literary
