WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Sen. Spooner,
of Wisconsin. is already being discussed
as a successor to Secretary Window. Sen.
Mcmillan said this afternoon that he
thought it not improbable that Sen.
Spoouer would be rendered the position.
Senator Spooner fully agreed with Secre-
tary Window in his financial policy. Mr..
Mcmillan did not venture an opinion as to
whether Mr.. Spooner would accept the
position or not. The .uggesti0n has met
with a great deal of approval.
Members Of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house are saying today that
Major Mckinley will be urged upon Presi-

only a thirty-foot model, made of oiled

still to be shown. The car which
is to carry passengers WAS not
attached to it today, and the
ship, which is cigar shaped ana filed
with hydrogen gas, fioated in the air and
was propelled by a wheel like that OF a
propeller, the motive power coming from a
storage battery on the floor attached by a
light wire. The rudders being set at

satisfactory manner around the interior of

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

The American Board will meet at Pittsfied to-
r,orrow under circumstances for which not only
the Congregationalist churches but religious peo-
nle of all denominations, must feel devouty
thankful. The year just closed has been one OF
remarkable prosperity for the Board. at home
and abroad. and there is no reason to doubt that
tbe coming meeting will be one OF har-
monv. spiritual power and large inspiration.
To Dr. Storrs, personally and officially 1t
cannot but be gratifying that whereas ID
1861, Mt the end of which time he became
president, the receipts of the Board from dona-
tons and legacies had been for the year only
S465.372, this year they have been S69O,921. In
other words, the Board has gained in donations
and legacies in each Of the four years past and
has gained in the end $225,549 of annual in
come. or very nearly so per cent OF the whole
income from these sources as they stood Tor the
wear 1886. This seems to show pretty plainly
that the Board has been pursuing the right path
and is stronger now than ever before in the at
fectionae confidence Of the churches. OF course,
an equal proportionate gain in the years to come
would carry its annual income from donations
and lcgacies to over S1,000,000; this IS not
probably to be expected, but it is hoped and be-
lieved bNthe friends of the Beard that prosperity
is before it and that the work will go on with
ever-increasing breadth and power.
The rumor that President Storrs intends to re-
sign has called forth storm'of protest. not only
from the conservative wing, with which he has
been supposed to be most in sympathy, but from
the liberal wing as well, and though ne has
reached the age of seventy, at which ne might
reasonably be expected to desire freedom from
the responsibilities of this important office both
conservatives and liberals agree that he is the
one man in the denomination needed at the
helm, at this particular juncture. To-day the
Board is in smooth seas. Were there to be a
chalge made it might ruffle the waters, endan-
gering not only the advance of this honored mis-
sionary association, but even its very life.
There is peculiar fitness in the Board meet
ing among the Berkshire Hills, and an excursion
is contemplated to Mission Park, WilliamStown,
the birthplace of the Board. 1t is to be hoped
that the prosperity of this active though venera-
bIe organization will be increased by the meet
ing this week, and that its sessions will be free
from tho discussion of theological questions,
which has so greatly marred the harmony CT the
last half-dozen years. The work OF the Board
ON the mission fields has been no less gratifying
than that of raising money to carry it on and the
meeting promises to be an old-time missionary

THE BROOKLYN MAYORALTY.

The Brooklyn Democrats have not dared to
nominate Mayor Chaplin for third term and a
vindication. We say the Brooklyn Demo-
Gratis" but, of course, that means that " Boss
Mclaughlin did not venture to take the risk.
Mr.. Chapin so far humbled himself as to plead
for denomination and an opportunity to. re-
bablitate himself. but he was ruthlessly set
aside and had only the meagre satisfaction OF
perfunctory resolution in which his Willingness
to retire from the Mayoralty in accordance with
party usage was coldly eulogzed. The situa-
ton. however, is not changed by the fact that
Mr.. David A. Body is made the candidate IN
stead of the present incumbent. Body IS put
forward merely as a respectable figurehead' Just
az Chapin was four years ago, and it is certain
that he will prove as subservient to the gang
as "The Eagle' pungently terms the McLaugh-
lin coterie-as Chaplin has been during his two
terms in Office.
There is no pretence that the nomination OF
Boody was net machine nomination. The TACT
that he had been slated for the place. and the
other candidates "turned down." was known
hours in advance of the meeting of the conyen-
tion-a term that can only by courtesy be ap-
piled to the body which registered the nomina-
n. II
BY putting forward Body in Chapin's place the
Democracy of Brooklyn does not clear itself OF
the Cdum which the water scandal last winter
brought upon the Chaplin administration. That
burden must still be borne. The bargain which
only Mr. Zieglers reSolute and public-SplEted
action checked puts the Democrats on the de-
fensive in this campaign. This is not the sole
issue, of course, but it is leading one and the
Republicans will be sure t. keep it to the front
during the next three weeks.
The Republican convention on Saturday night
did wisely in offering the nomination for Mayor
to Mr.. Ziegler. If any citizen had earned such
an honor, he was the man. But, having re-
solved not t, be candidate unless he was to run
against Mayor Chaplin, Mr.. Ziegler declined the
nomination, whereupOn the convention took the
wise course of nominating Mr.. Henry G. Meyer
a well-known business man Of the Eastern Dis
trict. Mr.. Meyer is young man, OF good edu-
cation, and is the president OF the United Re
tail GrOcerS' Association. He has had no ex-
perience in public Office but he possesses sterling
qualities and may be depended upon to give the
city cle.s, honest administration, conducted on
business principles. The issue is now fairly
Joined. 1t is between government by the Nc
Laughin Ring, with its water scandals, its pay
ing jobs, its 81. Johnland frauds and its misera-
bic pretence Of street-ceaning, and an open,
fair. economical and business-like administration
by business man. No good citizen can hest
tate in S choice. Mr.. Meyer can be elected
by hard work and by getting out all the Repub-
lican votes. The large registration last week
betokens deep interest in politics this year
Let no enemy of the Ring who registers fail tc
vote, and triumph for good government will be
won on November 8.
