IT is easy to find democratic congress- men who would like to change some schedule in the Wilson bill and who pro- pose to state their reasons for desiring a change to the democratic caucus soon to be held and ask that it be made, but the num- Der of democrats who will refuse to vote for the bill if the caucus does not agree with them can be counted upon the fingers of one hand with fingers to spare. They generally recognize the fact that the Will son bill is a party, not an individual measure, and that Gs..good democrats it is their duty to support the bill as it will be approved by the democratic caucus, and they will do it. No party measure has ever been passed by congress that did not receive the votes of men whose personal incli nations and interests were opposed thereto, and none ever will be. When a man cannot bring himself to vote for a party measure, particularly when. it repre- sents tariff reform: which has been the keystone of the democratic arch for so many years. it is high time that he should cease to call himself party man or to ex- pect to receive honors from the party he declines to support.

he PREAoAEp To MlLLIoNAIREs.

 Dr. Paxton Was Among the 1JoAt Brilliant
 and Popular New York ClerEymen.
 Some of the New York newspapers made great sensation out of the resig- nation of the Rev. Dr. John R. Paxton, pastor of the West Presbyterian church, who had for 10 years been considered one of the most eloquent and exemplary of the metropolitan preachers. Dr. Pax toms congregation numbered some of the wealthiest men in New York among its members. The late Jay Gould, Rus sell Sage and people of their ilk sat under his ministrations, and his church was often called ''the milionaires' gate to heaven" It was one of the institutions which every stranger in New York wanted to see. and its minister was one of the notable figures in the metropolis. His millionaire parishioners vied with

each other in doing him honor, and his lines appeared to be cast in such pleasant places that he was probably the most envied preacher in America.
 But the inevitable happened. The strain of furnishing religious pabulEm of the quality required by such a con- gregation, and at the same time keeping up with the round of social gayeties thought proper by his flock, proved too much for the preacher, brainy and stall wart though he was. The quality of his sermons deteriorated somewhat from the standard he had set up himself. He did not draw" so we'll as formerly. The pews were no longer filled at every serv- ice, and some dissatisfaction was open ly expressed by the church members. He faced the situation manfully and re- signed. And great was the surprise oc- casioned thereby.
 Dr. Paxton took pastoral charge of the West church in 1883. For six years prior to that he had been pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church in Washington.
 When the civil war broke out, Dr.. Paxton was at college in northern Pennsylvania, and his whole college class, explained by professor, marched from the halls of learning and formed themselves into a company of a volun- teer regiment. They saw some hard service, and at Gettysburg but seven of that heroic band were left, and Paxton, who wore sergeant's stripes. com- manded them.
 After the war Dr. Paxton studied the ology and was ordained minister in 1871, when he was 50 years of age. He held various charges in Pennsylvania and Maryland prior to going to Wash ington, where his fame may be said to have begun its growth. He is financially independent. but should his health be re- stored will probably be heard from on the lecture platform in the future.

To Tax Scenic Advertisements.

The practice of defacing natural scen- cry with great advertisements is not so prevalent in the United States as it was a generation ago, and public sentiment is steadily growing stronger against it, This practice has recently developed in England to such an extent that lovers of nature recognize that some definite ac- ton must be taken. The Thames val ley, the most picturesque mountain spots in Wales and the loveliest corners of Devonshire have been greatly injured by huge advertisements. The well known architect, Mir. Warehouse, has pro posed that if they cannot actually be prohibited they should at least be di, unfinished by the imposition of heavy license tax.-Chicago Herald.
