THE MASSACHUSETTS, nIsmoPRIC.

THE MASSACHUSETTS BIsHOPRIC
The number Of candidates for the
Massachusetts, Episcopal bishopric is
fast diminishing by the declination of
many of the reverend gentlemen who
have received more or less gentle hints
that they might receive the honor if
they desired. DR.. William Nelson Nc
Vicar, rector of Holy Trinity church in
Philadelphia, is now most prominently
mentioned as the next bishop, at least
by New Yorkers.
DIR. McVicar has many points in COM
mon with the late DR.. Brooks which
would make him fitting successor to
that beloved. world-famous clergyman.
Physically he resembles DIR. Brooks
greatly, being man of tremen-
dous physical proportions. Then
again, he is bachelor, and
his housekeeper is his maiden
sister. His present pastoral charge is
the same church from which Phillips
Brooks went to become rector of Trinity
in Boston. DIR. McVicar is considered
one of the most eloquent pulpit orators
in the Episcopal church, and like DIR.
Brooks his utterance is very rapid.
Those who advocate his being called
to the bishopric, however, are not at all
confident that he would accept as dur
ing his nearly 20 years of service at the
Philadelphia Trinity he has declined the
most fiattering calls from many parts
of the country. He is greatly beloved
by his congregation and they would not
part from him without struggle.
Meanwhile the diocesan election is
rapidly drawing near and the church of
the entire country is interested in the
result.

1t is almost certain that the German
reichstag will reject the new army bill
that the emperor has been pressing for
long time, and that with its rejection
the reichstag will be dissolved and the
country plunged into a'general election.
Just what general election would
mean for Germany can only be sur
missed. II might fairly be expected
that there would be very strong effort
made by the socialists to increase their
strength, and the effert would probably
be successful.
While there does not appear to be any
alternative, it seems evident that the
emperor would be the gamer il he were
to waive the right to dissolve the reich
stag, i'm the event of the rejection of
the army bill, and allow Caprivi to be
sacrificed. There are great risks that
must be encountered in Germany by
the imperialists every time they give
the people an opportunity to exercise
the ballot. II would not be difficult to
find new prime minister, but it might
be impossible to organize a majority of
a parliament to be elected in the inter.
ests of the emperor.
Some election of new reichstag in
Germany will result disastrously for
the monarchical party. There is tre-
mendous party in Germany that is pre-
pairing for great struggle for its inde-
pendence - the independence of the
country--and the day cannot be far dis
tant when there will be some sort of a
trial Of its strength.
When that day comes the emperor Is
likely to learn something of the power
of an aroused, an outraged, and blind
ly mad populace. He seems to have
very little conception of the force of the
socialistic sentiment In his country. If
he realized 1t fully It is safe TO assume
that he would not now press the OBJ
noxious army bill nor precipitate a
general election. II is claimed that in
general election at least two of the
six parties at present existing
would be practically disrupted,
but the assurance that their
ad herents would 20 to the emperor's
party, or to any party that would give

The Home Rule bill passed the Brit
ish house of commons yesterday by a
strict party vote, as has been latterly
expected.
Every Irish nationalist voted with the
Gladstone majority, and every dissi-
dent liberal with the Tories. This, too,
was expected.
Thus far Gladstone has been able to
carry out his program to the letter.
All that the opposition has been able to
do has been in the way of talk merely,
and the talk has been of such charac-
ter as to substantially aid the home
rulers by solidifying them against the
wild and bloodthirsty program of the
sore and defeated Tories. Balfour has
developed into preacher of disorder
equalled only by the most virulent
among the anarchists, and all the Tory
leaders follow the line he marks out
and shout and preach for internal war
and bloodshed in Ireland.
II is announced that the Tories will
make determined effort to obstruct
the home rule bill when it comes up in
committee, on the 4th of May, but it is
certain that the great premier will
throttle the opposition there, as he has
beaten it off at all the previous stages
of the bill.

aid and comfort to the imperialists, is
exceedingly slight. The probability is
much stronger that they would go to
the parties opposed to the emperor, or
at least enough Of them to make more
trouble than can now be made by the
socialists.
But whatever the result might be as
affecting the emperor, it is certain that
a general election in Germany would be
vastly interesting event to the rest of
the world, and we in America would be
deeply interested to note the progress of
the democratic sentiment in the mother
land of the great Teutonic race.

THE decision of the supreme court
that the town clerk of North Smithfeld
may call new election for senator, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator-Elect Hendrick, cannot be a
very great surprise to such as had taken
the trouble to examine the statutes and
decisions bearing upon the case. The
principle involved was the status of a
memher-elect of the general assembly;
whether or not he becomes, in legal
sense, part OF the state government be-
fore he takes his seat. The common
sense view in this instance comedies
with the law, it appears.

THE GOLD RESERVE.

The announcement is made that the
gold reserve i'm the treasury has fallen
below the 800, ZOO, 900 point.
Now we shall experience whether the
evils that have been predicted will act
ually follow this slump in the gold re-
serve of the treasury.
1t IS apparent that there has been evil
in the anticipation. Gold has been put
at a premium of 1.S of per cent. in
New York by the action of the foreign
exchange brokers, who have made that
discount for gold exchange.
Gold has been at practical premium
for a long time, as has been constantly
made evident by the greater value and
quicker marketing Of city and other
bonds bearing interest payable in gold.
The state of Massachusetts has received
a premium on her gold bonds almost
continuously since the early years Of
the war, when the legislature passed an
act making all issues gold interest bear
ing.
This city has lately profited in the
same way. Its gold bonds have readily
sold, and have sold at such a low inter-
est rate rs to substantially give the city
treasury premium on gold.
1t is plainly evident, from such facts
as these, that gold has never been on an
actual parity with what is otherwise
known as lawful money" 1t has al
ways been possible TO secure an appre-
ciable advantage with its use in large
transactions, and il has been difficult to
negotiate matters involving European
cooperation without distinctly provid-
ing that payments be made in gold.
The course of the secretary Of the
treasury, therefore, in sitting quietly
down and allowing the hundred million
reserve to be drawn down, is full of
danger. 1t is not clearly apparent what
the end sought by the administration is.
There were Sc veral courses open to the
secretary. 1t was not necessary for
him to assume this supine position. He
could have issued bonds. He might
have declined to sell gold for export,
which would have amounted to a sus-
pension Of gold and payments and
ought not to have been resorted to.
The alternative of selling bonds was
a very disagreeable one to contemplate.
but it would not have been as disastrous
to business and the national credit as
the course taken by the treasury newt
ably must be.
