Two Very Important Points.

In the letter Of the Rev. Mr.. ADAMS ex-
planning his reasons for going over into the
Church OF Rome. he points out for reproba-
ton two features Of the Episcopal Church.
which belong to Protestant churches 80
generally that his remarks concerning
them are likely to provoke serious and
widespread discussion In the religious
camp from which no has withdrawn.
Ho says that rector. or pastor. is de-
pendent upon the rich men OF the parish in
which he Is settled. and that he is successful
SO far as he keeps them comfortable. He Is
their /" hired mouthpiece." and his first great
care must be to please them. They are
the necessary material supporters OF the
church. and consequently it's rulers. his
function being to teach these rich masters
OF his what they already know and like"
lis there not something in this criticism
WESLEY warned Mcthodism in its infancy
against such consequence Of counting the
alliance OF wealth. He said that when
riches came in at the door. religion would
fly out OF the window. He feared the de-
struction Of the democracy OF the new house,
hold Of faith. He foresaw that II the pulpit
began to rely on rich men for It's material
prosperity. 1t would end In being their
"mouthpiece." and its independence would
be gone.
Is 1t not true that tho Protestant clergy
are likely to be the aduators OF wealth to
peculiar degree? They are human beings.
and 1t is natural that they should pay re-
gard to those from whom they obtain the
are the prizes Of the ministerial pro-
troll OF rich men. In most Protestant
churches. Such men are selected for ves-
trymen and trustees In order to interest
them in tho affairs of the parishes, and thus
to secure their needed contributions. They
are conciliated and deferred to. OF course.
Everywhere money receives that tribute.
but nowhere more than In these churches.
and from nobody more than clergymen.
The question whether there would be a
revolt In the Presbyterian Church against
the condemnation Of DR.. BRIGGS by the
General Assembly was not decided by the
convictions OF the clerical sympathizers
with the deposed minister. It was decided
by the loaves and fishes. II the rich men
governing the treasury OF the Presbyterian
churches with such pastors. had been ready
to support the revolt with their campaign
chests. the rebellion would have occurred:
but they are conservatives; they want
things to be comfortable: they want to keep
out OF fight. Consequently the pastors.
having In mind their self-interest. as is very
natural, are rendering their humble submits
sion. however bold they may have been In
threatening mutiny In advance. We have
seen how one Presbyterian pastor Of this
city even went SO far as to deny his own
words uttered from the pulpit. in order to
show his obedience to his masters. as Mr..
ADAMS calls them.

decision. Judge Moore said:

thing that such action should DO taken. To bo

that the Mayor OF the city OF Brooklyn has
committed acts and has done things for which

right to know whether tho Mayor is q criminal
or not. That is a matter in which the entire

The Long and Short Of 1t.

Will the New York Republicans have any
campaign at all this year? Will they be
able to agree upon time for their State
Convention The prospect Of reaching the
rugged heights OF harmony on these ques-
tons seems dim ut present. 1t is most I'M
likely that the New York Republicans can
do much this year. but surely they ought to
find out what 1t is they want to do.
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
moves for long and loud campaign. and
the motion found numerous seconders un-
til the daily quotations made by Mr. FAIR
ENHEITs collection Of mercuries began to
weaken political enthusiasms.
The Hon. THOMAS COLLIER PLArT. In tax
ing his twenty-flfth positively last farewell
Of politics until further notice. had but one
last dying request to make. He was for a
concise campaign. Cut 1t short as you
can" says he. or words to that effect. Mr..
PLATT has all sorts and sizes OF cam pal gns,
and some very odd sizes. in his renlinis-
cences and we suppose that he is In favor Of
short campaign this year on the principle
that next to nothing is tho best thing ex-
cept nothing. II the Republicans must have
a campaign. for goodness sake make it
short. says Mr. PLAT.
The Hon. GEORGE RopoMoNTE MALBY.
who led the Republican forlorn hope In the
last Assembly. and is the hope and the ad-
mlratiop OF all that is Republican in St..
Lawrence county from Jayville to Mud
River. thinks that I'VE ought to have a
comparatively long campaign. Six or eight
weeks would be about right" Now six
weeks is comparatively short. 80 that what
Mr.. MALBY means is comparatively short
as we'll as comparatively long. Thus there
are four kinds Of Republican campaigns pro-
posed; two Of them by Mr.. MALBY Of Rain
bow Falls:
!. Long T. Short.
g. Comparatively Short 4 Comparatively Long.
Which is why we ask In good sooth. VIII
