rHE rENNsYLvANIA SYNOD.
READING, Pa. June 10 1892

READING, Pa, June ~ 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR ON the 5th inst.
boarded the G. C. r. r. train on my
way to attend the meeting OF the Penn
sylvania Synod in its 145th Annual
Convention. | connected with this
synod in 1913, and with the exception
of few years, have been member Of
this body ever since. 1t was the first
Lutheran body in this country, having
been organized in 1747. At the time
of my connection with this Synod A
years ago, its clerical membership did
not number much over 100; now it has
swelled to nearly $50, and presume
there are about 200 present at this con-
vention, together with at least Loo lay
delegates. In its composition it has
its usual proportion Of aged, venerable
and middle aged men, while the great
majority are in the prime of life. In
this body there are some as able men
as are to be found in any church in
our country and nearly all are men of
a thorough classical and theological
education. The Luthern Church in
Pennsylvania is'very strong. and when
] speak of the Pennsylvania Synod,
do not mean to imply that it covers
the entire Lutheran territory, for there
some five or SIX more Lutheran Synods
in the state.
AS the business now transacted by
the Synod would not interest the read
ers of the WORLD | will not say
any thing about it in this connection;
and to give description of the great
city of Reading and its amazing enter
pnses would require too much space.

ever results in cleavage from that STEADY
going, traditon-loving ey1-tO-buslness organiza-
tion The reason is plain. In the Republican
rarty there is no such bond OF common selfish
interest as that which holds together their op-
ponents Very few Democrats ever think them-
selves out of their party. 1t IS not prelehueu
that all Republicans are entirely unSelhSh or
that the party does not contain conSidefaoie
number of persons Of more or less prominence
whose aims are personal and selfish and VINO are
much more anxious TO get on than to establish
any principle or promote any particular polcy.
No party is, or ever was, or probably ever VIII
he. free from active and pushing SeIf-SeekerS
But we do maintain that the fundamental dlller-
cnce between the two parties lies IN the Iact
that while one f0mulaeS its views upon great
questions with distnctneSs and an uhlhls'ahaole
meaning. and makes its fight thereon III .ne

nearer taking a positive stand upon the tarii

upon that they have within the last two months
50 far gone to pieces that no one can say to-day
whether if they had full power they would pass

words their doors are open to anybody VINO Is

On ,he meStion of Civl-Service Reform they

This is the "ump'' which Mr.. Means and his
associates thought they might lcayen when they
thrust themselves into it in 1851. They are
naturally Republicans but Republicans who
wanted their own way in everything and got
mad because they couldn't have it. So they
undcrtook tho lcaycning business. They failed

A TTSE CHOICE.

Tho nomin 4tion Of Senator sherman by the
Republican caucus, and his election by the LcgiS-
lature of Ohio, will give him a period OF public
service which no other Senator has attained.
Mr. Benton rightly felt proud of his " thirty
years in the Senate" but Mr.. Sherman was first
elected TO that body in 1861, was reelected
twice in 1866 and 1872, and served sixteen
years before he became Secretary Of the Treas
ury. After four years in that Office he returned
TO the Senate in 1881, was reelected in 1886,
and will now be reelected in 1892, 50 that he
has already been elected five times, and will
presently enter upon his sixth Senatorial term.
In addition he served four terms in the House
and one term as Secretary of the Treasury.
1t has seemed good to some Of his opponents
to make this prolonged service of Mr.. Sherman
a ground Of objection 10 his reelection. But
surely there could not be a more unreasonable
plea. In his long experience and his wonderful
fund OF acquired knowledge regarding the pub
lie business the faithful public servant has his
richest endowment, which no briancy or pop
ularity OF younger men can match. The value
of the personal services Of Senator Sherman TO
his country no man can estimate. 1t was his
powerful report when Representative, which
first placed the Kansas OutIages before the coun-
Try 50 convincingly that the subsequent Repub-
lican victory became inevitable. No man in
Congress contributed more than Mr. Sherman
did to tho triumph Of the Union through the
wise financial policy adopted during the Civil
War. To him. more than to any other one
man, was due the adoption OF the Resumption
Act, and it fell to his lot, as Secretary of the
Treasury, to prove by successful administration
that the act was not an emDty and frultleSS
partisan trick, as its opponents represented. Since
his magnificent success in that capacity, the
country has rightly felt that it wished the
benefit of his counsels as long as he lived and
retained his powers The choice was with Ohio
But if the Nation could properly have chosen
there would have been great majority fos Mr.
