MILLION.

Millions new pastors have removed their
fsmilies to tom, and are now comfortably
settled; and it is hoped we will have better
weather. Rev. R. S. Williamson preached
his initiatory at the NJ. P. Church, on Sun
day morning, to a fair congregation. His
text was from Isaiah, second chapter and
the latter clause of the third verse, Come
We, aud let US walk in the light Of the Lord. "
Mr.. Williamson is a rapid speaker, and said
as much in his thirty.fve minutes discourse
as many speakers would have said in one
hour.
He is Of fine physique, attractive manners
and without any intention to aattery we
may say, good looking man. At the con
clusiou of the service he placed himself at
the door of exit, and shook hands with each
and every one Of the congrs CATION as they
left the room.
Milton is well represented by preachers
and teachers, and it is burning shame that
the tax payers of this town should be COM
PEELED to leave their homes and seek en-
ployment elsewhere to earn the funds nee
essary to the support of their families and
the liquidation of the salaries of their ser
wants. Preachers and teachers are neees-
sary adjnncts to the community, aud must
be paid. The preachers cannot live on souls
no matter how Jealous they may be for their
salvation: neither can the teachers live on
the new school law" nor the half com
pleted school building, no matter how Goa
scientious they may be to obey the former,
nor how earnestly they may desire the fn-
ishing Of the latter They must be paid
And the men who pay their salaries must
live also, and If they have nothing to do in
their own town they must 'get out" va
moose, " ''clean up" to some more favored
place. The mechanical status of Milton at
present is just this: A man to live here aHd
support family must leave here. paradoxi-
cal as the assertion may appear to the super
fetal observer. He must 60 elsewhere to
earn the funds necessary to pay the liabilities
incurred in living. Many have already done
this, ard if prospects don't brighten, many
more will be compelled to follow them
Isn't it shame that our town cannot fur
nish employment for its own popuiace?

]. A. B. Wilson's Reception.

EDITOR CHRONICLE,
Dear Sir.-Permit me to call your atten-
ton to an editorial in last weeks CHRONICLE
relative to Rev. DR.. J. A. B. Wilson's trans
fer to the 18th street NJ. E. Church and some
alleged dissatisfaction consequent thereto.
The trouble referred to existed only in the
mind Of the newspaper men, for trouble
there was not on the part Of the church. It
was my pleasure to be present at the third
reception rendered DR.. Wilson by the 18th
street people and to hear the address of well
come delivered by Mr.. Brown, a wealthy
Wall street broker and president of the
Board of Trustees.
In that address the gentleman above
named uttered the following statement: 81
desire to state to you, DR.. Wilson, and to all
present, that you are TIE hearty and unani-
nous choice of the oficiary and Of the pee
pie of this church From the first there has
not been, so far as can learn, a dissenting
voice. all newspaper reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The newspapers manu-
featured the whole thing" The report
started in the city of Wilmington and went
from there TO the Office of the New York
Sun. The whole thing is of a piece with
the bounding process which DR.. Wilson'S
enemies in that city have so persistentlY
carried on.
It should be further stated that the recep-
ton rendered DR.. Wilson was of the most
enthusiastic character. When it is remem-
bered that for three hours there was a pour
ing rain and yet the large edi6ce was filed
with happy, hopeful people whose enthu-
siasm no storm could dissapate, you will see
how hearty his reception was. As one of
the leading trustees said to the writer mo
bishop in the church could have called to-
gether such a throng as this on such a night
We think Dr. Wilson is the right man in the
right place" Sure, am Mr. Editor, that
you do not desire to do injustice to Dr. Will
son and so a place is asked for this expla-
nation. Very truly,
r. WATT.

THE tariff aud the silver question are
the two important issues in the coming
campaign, aud it will not do to ignore
either the one or the other. Both are
vital. Both affect the interests of every
voter. The positions o { the parties should
he understood. The Republican party IS
for protecting every American it'd Try,
because protection diversihes midway =
provides labor for all, insures good Ncf,,- ..
to the workingman and artisans, and good
prices at home to the producer u food.
The Democratic nRsty % Tor tree trade,
which would result IN low wages and
briro high prices for manufactured arti-
Ties isSi soon as the American factories
were driven out Of existence, whilst low
prices FOX food products would be the III
evitable result when all were forced to
become food producers.
AS to silver, the Republican party IS
for honest money and enough of it to
transact the business of the country It
provided in the last Congress for the con.
sumption each year of 50, 100000 ounees
of American silver, putting in circulation
lepai-tender dollars sufficient to purchase
that amount of silver bullion. The entire
product of American silver is 90, ooo, 900
ounces, and fully 10 per cent. Of that is
used in the arts and manufactures, SO
that through Republican legislation every
available ounce Of American silver IS
turned into legal-tender dollars and added
TO the circulation in a much better form
than If the metal itself was coined. The
majority of the Democrats III this House
voted for a bill which, if it could become
a law, meant silver standard aud sill
yer currency, either of which would be
disastrous to the country.

Of political theft was never endorsed BY any
party in Congress than when the House, at
the dictation Of Boss Hill voted to retain
Mr.. Rockwell; Of New York, in the seat to
which its own committee had reported that
Col. Moves, was elected And what makes
the case all the more piHabie for the Demo
Gratis is that the result has been for weeks
past boastingly announced by Hill and The

for the unusually large number of veterans
unable to provide for themselves who will
attend the National encampmeut is not I'M
derstood Ia Congress, and it has been very
harshly criticised The State Legislatures
have almost invariably made appropriations
to aid the cities, in which the annual en-
campmeuts haye been held, and that Is all
that Washington has asked for-congfess is
Washineton's legislature and it has been
asked to appropriate 100000, one half to be
paid out Of the revenues Of the District of
Columbia, aud the 9th er half out Of the gen
eral treasury,t to be added to $4,000 contrib
uted by private individuals.
A little breeze has been caused among the
Cleveland Democrats by the personal an

friends say that this is a breach Of faith on
the part of Palmer.
The House Chinese exclusion bill has been
the basis for some very interesting debate in

WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsHINoror. April 8. -.

WASHINGTON, April IS, 1892.
The President wisely leaves to others all
the worrying about the Republican Presiden-
tiai nomination. He finds enough, aud as
Secretary Blaine recently so aptly said, more
than enough to do in trausaetiug the legiti'
mate duties pertaining to the Chief magis-
tracy Of the greatest country in the world.
He would be more than human if he were
not erati6ed by the action Of Republicans in
various States il iustructiug delegates to the
Minneapolis convention to support him for
renominat ion, but he is doing nothing that
might by the widest stretch Of the imagina-
ton be construed into seeking arenomiua-
ton
All the talk about his Withdrawing is the
veriest bosh. A man cannot withdraw from
what he has not entered into. The President
has never said to any man that he would &C.
cept the nomination again, and his devotion
to the principles and welfare Of the Republic
can party has been such that it is certain that
he win not allow his name to be presented
to the National Convention, unless he is con-
viuced that the leaders Of the party consider
him to be the most available candidate to
lead the party to victory. Tit shall be plain
after all the delegate to the convention shall
have been elected that any considerable por-
zion ofthcm are opposed to his denomination
Nj. Harrison will, predict, forbid the use
Of his name as a candidate, and it would in
no sense be withdrawal for him to do so
as he is not by any action Of his own, further
than BY the faithful performance Of his pub.
lie duties, a candidate.
The probable early k5lding Of an interna-
tionai monetary conference to consider the
silver question meets the approval Of Con-
gresham Of all shades of political beliefex-
cept the ultra silver men who believe thst
the United states should take the lead by
establishing absolute free coinage. The SEN
ate has adopted resolution asking the Pres
idest 6or information concerning the pro-
posed difference.
