With every prospect of a winter durin &
which thousands of the hitherto comfort
able must suffer from cold and hunger,
there can be nothing but applause for the
sentiment of Governor Mckinley Of Ohio
who, when invited to attend a republican
jollification at Akron, first declined, and
then said. These jollification meetings are
expensive. and at a time like this, when
there is so much distress. IT has seemed to
me that the money that would be required
for jollihcation could be better expended

Thirty years continuous service as pastor
Of one church, and that an extremely pros
porous organization. is record of which
both teacher and congregation may well be
proud. On Sunday last the Rev. John Ches-
ter, DID,. announced his intention to retire
from the pastorate of the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church when, in April next,
he completes the thirtieth year of his active
association with the charge. The still ex-
listing relationship is remarkable not only
for its great duration but also because the
church has never had any other pastor.
DIR. Chester was the choice of the few who
first composed the congregation, and the
thousands who acquired membership since
have Endorsed the selection again and
again. The record is a notable one

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS CAUCUS.



Appoisted Senators Question.
WASHINGTON CRY. March THE Demo-
cratic caucus which met in the senate
chamber this morning was we'll attended.
The action today indicates that the Pop
ulist senators are to be ignored, as Senator
Kyle, of Dakota, PETER and Allen, all

the caucus. Martin, of Kansas. although
elected by fusion votes, is considered q
Democrat and as such was invited by
German to attend the caucus, and he was
present and participated in the proceed
ings. Allen, it is understood, will vote
with the Democrats when it comes to or.
ganization.
The caucus organized by re-electing Cor.
man chairman and Faulkner secretary.
The session lasted four hours, the only
actual business transacted being to author
ize the chairman to report . committee to
devise . plan for reorganization and re-
port to the caucus upon all chairmen-
Much time was consumed in discussion
bearing upon the standing of senators
appointed by governors. the cases in point
being Senators Beck with, appointed by the
governor of Wyoming. and Senator Mantle,
appointed by the governor Of Montana. A
spirit of opposition against seating ap-
pointees vas manifested, and in support of
this view, number Of old decisions in
senatorial contested elections were pro-
duced. 1t was finally decided, however.
that these matters, together with the case
of Martin should be referred to tho COM
mitsee on privileges and elections.

Carlisle finds himself confronted
with great responsibility to
maintain the gold basis, and .
man of less ability might find the task .
difficult one. It is probable that before no
has been two days in office he will find it
necessary to choose between issuing bonds
and trenching upon the gold reserve. The
ex-secretary said:
The department 10 now practically down to
tie gold reserve, there being less than 5000 600

than he expected to hnd at this time, and IL
did not look - alarming - IL did . week or 90
