Rev, DR.. GrUor's Gratifying Success In
New York City.
Ne,v l0rE Correspondence Philadelphia PTesA
The Rev. DR.. David II. Greer said to
mo this morning that he sent last night
a letter of declination to tho officers Of
Trinity Church, Boston, by whom he
had been called to succeed Phillips
Brooks in the pulpit. 1t was most
tempting offer which was mado to DR..
Greer. No question OF salary was raised;
DR.. Greer could have had any salary
which he felt he would DO iuatifed in
asking for. Ho spent day last week
in Boston with tho officers OF the church
and Bishop Brooks, and they laid be-
fore him the scope OF the work which
that great organization had in view and
which they believed he could perform,
Bishop Brooks urged him both on per
sonal and on religious grounds TO accept
the offer, and my impression is that DR..
Greer was at one time tempted to go
there. But he found that his parish in
New York was bitterly opposed 10 his
leaving them, and moreover q great
scheme OF church work and OF moral
endeavor in the parish has just been
entered upon and it was felt that it
would be 4 severe blow wero DR.. Greer
to leave at this time.
There are many churchmen in New
York who believe that DR.. Greer, II he
perseveres in tho work he has under
taken here, is going to do something
which will attract the attention Of NOR.
alists, philanthropists and those OF
Christian endeayor in all places whore
the church has a foothold. Ho has
been in New York only four years and
has built up a great congregation, SO
great that it is probable that it will be
necessary to erect new church build
ing in the near future, and when it is it
is quite likely to be ase:luisite speci-
men Of church architecture as is Trinity
OF Boston.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who is an earn
est member of this congregation, is in
entire accord with DR.. Greer in his
church work.

Here is tho portion OF tho tariff plank
reported by the majority OF the COM
mitteo on resolutions which the Chi.
cago convention voted down:
We reiterate the olt-repcatel doc
trines Of the Democratic party, that the
necessity Of tho Government is the only
justification for taxation, and whenever
tax is unnecessary, it is unjustiliable;
that when customs house taxation is
levied upon articles OF any kind pro-
duced In this country, THE DIFFER.
ENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF
LABOR HERE AND LABOR ABROAD,
when such difference exists, fully
measures any possible benefits 10 labor,
and the enormous additional impose
lions Of tho existing tariff fall with
crushing force upon our farmers and
workingmen, and, for the mere advon-
tage Of the few whom 1t enriches, eS.
acts from labor grossly unjust share
Of the expense OF the Government. And
we demand such q revision OF the tariff
laws as will remove their iniQuitous in.
CAPABILITIES, tighten their oppressions
and put them on constitutional and
equitable basis.
But, in making reduction in taxes, IT
Is NOT PROPOSED TO INJURE ANY
DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES, BUT RhTH-
Err TO PROMOTE THEIR HEALTHY
GROWTH. From the foundation OF
this government the taxes. collected at
the custom house have boon the chief
source OF federal revenue. Such they
must continue to be. Moreover, many
industries have como to rely upon legis-
latlon for successful continuance so
that ANY CHANGES OF LAW MUST
BE AT EVERY STEP REGARDFUl.
OF THE LABOR AND CAPITAL
THUS INVOLVED. The progress OF
reform must he subject in tho execu-
ton to this plain dictate of justice.
BOLD, DISGUISED FREE TRADE.
Hero is the tariff plank reported by
the minority Of the committee which
the convention adopted as a substitute
for the above:
We denounco Republican protection
as fraud-as q robbery of great ma
jorlty OF the American people for the
benefit OF a few. WE DECLARE IT
10 Be A FUNDAMENTAL PRlNOl-
PIE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO
CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO M
POSE AND COLLECT A DOLLAR
FOR TAN EXCEPT FOR PURPOSES
OF REVENUE ONLY, and demand that
the collection OF such taxes be imposed
by the government when only honestly
and economically administered.
ANOTHER OF THE sAstE SORT.
Here isan extract from the Constitu-
ton of the Confederate States, which,
as will BIO seen. is as like the Chicago
Democratic declaration as two peas:
The Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and
excises for revenue necessary to pay
the debts, provide for the common de.
tense, and carry on the government OF
the Confederate States; but no boun-
ties shall be granted from the treasury,
nor shall any duties or taxes on impor-
tations from foreign nations be laid to
promote or foster any branch Of indus
try.

An exceedingly mean thing was done
by some vandnl sonie time after II
o'clock Saturday night. Dr. Hildreth
has recently laid in front OF his new

a hosting engine in tho alloy by tho

There was an Irishman elected to the
board of aldermen in one of the Connecti-
cut cities who was a regular watchdog of
the treasury. The aldermanic chamber
was dimly lighted, and one of the alder
men had been to Bridgeport and had seen
new chandelier which he thought was
just the thing needed to throw light on
city legislation. He made a motion to
have committee appointed to go to
Bridgeport and examine the chandelier,
and buy one, if advisable. This brought
the watchdog to his feet. "AIr. President, 4"

it's been iXpinsis for this thing and ixpin-
