BISHOP BARKER.
The New Prclate Makes IL Most
Favorable Impression.

AS announced in last weeks HER
AID Rt. Rev. William NJ. Barker, the
newly appointed Episcopalian bishop of
the missionary jurisdiction of Western
Colorado, held divine services in st.
james church on Sunday last, morning
and evening. Both services were well
attended and those present had the
privilege of listening to two very able
and instructive sermons.
Bishop Barker is not a brilliant orator,
in the generally accepted application of
the term, but he is clear, logical and
convincing speaker. lie uses the best
OF language; has complete control over
himself ut all times; every word is ut
tered in clear and distinct voice and
every word goes right home. The title
of his sermon at the morning service
was "A Common Sense Religion y
and without ever mentioning the name
of creed, church or sect, swept the
props from under denominational big
otry and showed that it was possible for
all men to meet on common level and
worship the Divine Being as followers
of Christ The evening sermon was
equally interesting and forcible, and
was listened to with rapt attention. AT
Its close the bishop addressed MS au-
dience IN relation TO Inc support oil lhe
church mere. lie earnestly urged
general support and hoped everybody
would contribute something-no matter
how small the amOuut-tO the diffusion

After the dismissal OF the conGreSa-
tlon the church committee ana a tew
others Interested in the maintenance OF
Christian worship in Meeker met with
the bishop in the vestry and discussed
matters with view TO getting church
affairs on better footing. The bishop
said he was ready to send in clergy
men to take hold of the work here as
soon as the people slgn'tied "A Witness
to contribute reasonable amount to
his support; that If the community
would contribute 500 a month to the
support OF u minister he would con-
tribute the balance. 1t was thought
this amount could be raised, and the
meeting adjourned to meet again on
Monday evening last when committees
were appointed to 90 around and solicit
subscriptions. HE committees VIII

Democrats in coDgress-no president
ever did, or ever will please all of his
party in making up bis cabinet-but if
the dissatisfaction is .,ny greater than
it has been in the dominant party when
every cabinet for twenty years past has
been announced your correspondent has
failed to locate it all. 1t must be re-
membered in considering this matter
that Mr.. Cleveland has introduced
something entirely .ew In politics by
announcing the members OF his cabinet
as fast as they are determined upon,
thus giving the opposition a chance to
appear much greater than it really is,
by reason of its being presented to the
public in sections, as it were. The OBJ
lection to Judge Gresham, which at
] first appeared to be very formidable, is
growing less and less, now that its au-
thors have taken time to think of the
justice of giving the many thousand in
dependent votes that were cast for Mr..
net. There is no opposition to Carlisle
as secretary of the treasury; Bissell rs
postmaster general: Morton as secre-
/ tary of agriculture, or Lamont as SeCre-
| tary of war, and the little opposition
| that has been expressed to IOke Smith
for secretary of the interior has mostly
come from western men who think that
( a western man would have been better
than Il Georgian for thai position. And
not a single word has been uttered by
anybody against the fitness of the gen
/ tlemen named for these positions, and
