more than half way over when Policeman Pat

Doctor stopped to argue the question. and
called Patterson 3 attention to the fact that the
route back was longer than the one he wanted
to pursue. The officer was obdurate. and in

The most convincing proof that the stories
OF terrible suffering among the poor OF New
| York are malicious and lying. Is furnished
by the current vital statistics Of the city.
Last week the death rate Of New York
was extraordinarily low for August. 1t
was only 22.1o in the thousand annually, or
| q rate not higher than has been reached In
| the healthlest seasons OF the healthlest
years. The amount Of disease Is less than
usual at this season. and 1t Ia small for any
| season.
Disease provoked or encouraged by des-
| titution has not increased. It has rather
| lessened. The causes Of death are distrib-
uted. as Is usually and normally the case.
in all healthy and populous communities.
Not single indication Of extraordinary suf-
fering appears. Even In the squalid and tur-
bulent Jewish district. the death rate and
the disease rate are low, There Is no trace
Of the starvation Of which the anarchistio
demagogues talk. The death list is not
increased by any such cause. 1t rather in
dicates that the people are as well nour-
ished as ever before.
II the present depression Of business con-
tinued for many months. lamentable suffer
ing would doubtless occur. but under the
eAIcuSlNo CAdll pkoNlSiobo Va A>oV AVN
1t would be speedily relieved. There is no
starvation now. and there can be no starva-
ton in the future. Nobody In New York
need die OF hunger.
Moreover. the indications are that before
winter there will be revival OF activity
which will satisfy the honest cravings OF
the unemployed for work. With good
crops and q large European demand for
them. enterprise Is likely to start again
after short interval. It may be
that there will be a readjustment
and scaling down Of wages after
their unconstitutional prop Of protection is
knocked away. but 80 too will there be
a reduction Of prices Of the commodi
ties and necessities which wages pur-
chase. This industrial and business revo-
luton has been decreed by the wage earn
ers themselves. the vast majority Of them
having voted for it. They are not afraid
Of 1t. They are ready for 1t. and they will
not suffer from it unless temporarily.
AS we have said. the death rate Of New
York Is remarkably low for August; and the
average Of health Is high because the poorer
Inhabitants Of the town. or the vast major
ity. are unusually we'll. The decrease Of
mortality is chiefly among the tenement
house population. The chances OF life for
them are better than they are for the rich.
as the incontrovertible vital statistics
prove. No epidemic is rife. Contagious
diseases OF every kind are decreasing.
Zymotic diseases induced by poor and bad
sanitary conditions are few for the sea-
son. and they are falling of. No sign ap-
pears Of the social distress which the incen-
diary demagogues are proclaiming.
New York Is fortunate community even
now when. temporarily. business activity
Is hampered to q considerable extent.

Close OF the Silver Debate.

The silver debate in the House will come
20 a brilliant end tonight. The time spent
has not been wasted. There has been some
impatience among business men with the
debate and tho delay. They would have
preferred the summary passage OF the re-
peallng bill. They forget that debate Is
perhaps the most useful function OF Con-
Qress Some foolish, some wild. some ILL
Informed or merely rhetorical speeches
have been made In the two weeks debate. but
it has served as q vent and lenitive for pas
nion and ignorance as we'll as vehicle FOR
sound financial ideas; and during every day
OF It the strength OF the advocates OF re-
peal has been increasing. because the press
ure OF the people upon Congress to do some
thing to restore confidence and unlock the
currency, has been constant. As result.
the silver forces in the Senate. whore they
are strongest, will be compelled to yield to
the demand Of the traders and farmers for
Abe means Of carrying on the fall trade and
moving the fall crops.
It 10 expected that the repeal will pass
the House on Monday. and no long delay Is
now looked for In the Senate. Its passage
IN the Senate will DO largely due to the
patriotism OF convinced blmetallists, who
postpone their own theories to the business
interests Of tho country. 1t will be IN no
sense triumph Of monometallism. for In
telligent bimetallists believe that the re-
peal OF the SHERMAN law Is an indispensa-
BILE preliminary to bimetallism. Neither
will It be q triumph for himetallism. 1t
will be q triumph Of the American people
enforcing their necessities upon the ma
tonal Legislature. and OF the Democratic
party carrying out the platform. 30 far as
the conditions now permit.
The alliance between the representatives
of the silver States. selflshly bent upon
plan Of local advantage. and the blmetallists
sincerely believing in the use Of silver on
parity with gold. but having no other In
terest In the matter than that Of the coun-
try. Is q false and an unnatural alliance.
We believe that 1t will be broken. indeed
that It is broken. and that the future pros
poets Of bimetalllsm will not be impaired by
degrading 1t to silver monometallism for the
benefit Of silver producers.

that tho persons who are thrown out OF

False and Mlschievous Charges.

A man who describes himself as a visitor
90 New York. writes to the World. the
natural receptacle for such malicious and
tnischievous misrepresentation. Ito ex'
press surprise that 80 many OF your
churches should be closed on Sunday. and
that nearly all your churches are leaving the
downtown poor to follow the uptown rich. u
AS matter Of fact. very few Of the
churches in New York are closed on Sunday
during the summer. and those that are
shut up are only uptown Protestant
churches. which close their doors because
the people on whom they depend for their
congregations arc out Of town. No Ro-
man Catholic church Is closed at any sea-
son. unless for necessary repairs; and no
Protestant church is closed II there Is de.
mand for its worship.
The churches are not leaving the down.
town poor. to follow the uptown rich. It Is
true that many Protestant churches have
moved up town during the last generation.
but they left because the surrounding pop
ulatlon had changed. and there was no
longer enough Protestant sentiment In
their old neighborhoods to justify their re-
naming. They removed from situations
where they were not wanted and where
their labor was unrewarded. and planted
themselves where Protestant services were
moro In demand. They did not leave the
poor. for the poor had never come to them
10 DO left. They would never have gone If
fhey could have maintained themselves In
spiritual prosperity where they were.
Their removal, however. has not lessened
the provisions for the religious demands of
the downtown neighborhoods. Those de-
mands are chiefly supplied by Roman Cath
olic churches capable OF satisfying. with
their many services. the desires OF vast
surrounding population. The Protestant
church accommodations also continue to be
abundant. Instead OF being too little. they
are more than are needed to meet the de-
mand. Probably one half their present
seating capacity would be enough for it.
Below Fourteenth street there are 1l8
churches and chapels. OF which % are Roman
Catholic. Besides these. there are % Jewish
synagogues. q great part OF the downtown
poor being Jews at the present time. So
bar from the Protestant churches negecting
the region. they are eager to occupy it. and
they expend money freely In efforts to ex-
bend their faith in 1t. but generally with
little success. Its population Is almost
wholly Of Roman Catholics and Jews.
Charges that the poor are neglected In
order that the rich may be cared for, are
absolutely untrue as applied to the churches
Of New York.
