gold reserve il necessary. This might
be undesirable SO long as the Sher-
man law was in force as weakening
still more the gold backing of our
currency; but with silver once re-
tired as u standard of money value, it
would, we believe, be less dangerous.
Indeed We think it would have no
effect whatever upon public conf
dence in the stability OF the cur
rency, while it would put an
end to the stringency of money.
A resolution of Congress would.
dispose of all question as to the respon-
sibility for the act.
But it does not matter so much
what plan should be adopted as that
something should be done. The
country wants more money as we'll
as secure money. The repeal of the
silver clauses is a good step in the
right direction, but it should be
promptly followed up with some posi-
tive measure of relief.

greEations in st. Bridget's.
The Rev. William Dornln, the new
pastor OF ST. Bridget's Church, made his
initial appe arance in the church at the
masses yeste rday before crowded congre-
cations. He introduced himself and
| preached at each mass. The ccngrega-
tioL was well impressed with its new
pastor. He is of medium stature and has
black eyes and black hair slightly Liuged
with gray. He has that most essential
thing for a public speaker-a. powerful
and pleasant voice aud is u clever aud
fluent speaker. The ~parishioners were
impressed that he was a worthy successor
of the late Father Corr.
Father Dorniu told the congregation Of
his priestly labor at Elizabeth. Orange

been assigned to Jersey City. bnt. con-
tented wnere he was, he hal begged of.
He would soon begin u visitation of the

religious societies, and Its Lycsum where
young men who preferred literature. sci
ence, knowledge aud refined company aud
pleasure spent their time in preference
to lettering OF street corners and in the
allurements OF the street resorts. These
were the young meu who would be the
| pillars of the church aud country in the
future who would marry well and make
the best of life.
Father Dornin preached on the leprosy
of sin. Spiritual leprosp Is most conta
gious. The children of drunkards will
become drunksrds, parents who bias

to their children. Sin was the only evil
we have to tear.

THE REV. Mr.. GATES told his
congregation last night of a pre-
mature peep at the Devil which he
enjoyed during his visit to the
Chicago Fair. As he incidentally
mentioned that he had inspected the
Midway Plaisance, we presume the
Serpent presented itself to him in
about the same guise which it as
sumed in tackling the late st.
Anthony.
Mr.. Gates is, however, more than a
match for the Tempter. He adopts
the methods of Martin Luther for his
defeat. Mr.. Gates uses the ink cure
with modern improvements, for while
Luther only fired his inkstand at the
Devil, Mr.. Gates overwhelms him
with all the ink in the newspaper
printing presses of JERSEY CITY.

We most earnestly urge our friends
and fellow citizens of the industrial
classes to close their ears to the voices
of anarchy and socialism, which
choose the present season of trial to
tempt them to their ruin. Monsters
of wickedness like Most and Emma
Goldman are always on the watch for
opportunities such as these. They
will tell the workingman that the
present distress is an inevitable re-
suit of the existing order of things.
Perhaps; but we urge that the pros
perity in which all shared until a few
weeks ago was also the result of that
same state of order which the anar-
chist tries to overthrow.
We appeal to the experience of any
man of full years, to say whether law
and order, as we enjoy them. do not
on the average produce twenty years
of plenty to one of poverty. The
World is imperfect, and it is the law
of life that things human often go
askew. It is only insanity and malice
that demands chaos as a substitute
for the peace and order which give
prosperity a general ascendancy over
trouble and sorrow.
What can the workingman hope
from the destruction of property ?
What can he look for from the un-
gearing of the wheels of business 2
Terrify capital out of the country by
violence or threats of violence, where
then are work or pay to come from ?
Scare those who have money into
hiding it in holes in the ground, who
then will start up the factories and
the workshops again
Idleness is bitter and poverty is
hard the waiting is long and sad
when want is its accompaniment.
But. after all, it must be gone through
like sickness, pain, heartbreak or any
other sorrow or misfortune, and the
quickest way to end it is to bear it
patiently. There will be no starva-
ton in this land of plenty, and if
things take their natural course there
will soon be work and wages for all.
There is only one thing that can
bring real disaster upon the people,
aud that is the victory even for a
brief time of the forces of subversion
and anarchy.

The New York World of this MORN
ing prints a collection of reports from
correspondents in seventeen western
States upon the prospects of the COM
ing harvest. They are such as to in
spire new hope and confidence in the
early cessation of the present depres-
sion and the free circulation of money
in the near future. The sum and
substance of the reports is presented
by the World in a brief introduction
as follows;-
The subjoined dispatches from World cor
respondents give q birdseye view of the condi-
rion Of the eountry's grain crops. In some
sections they have suffered from drought,
aud Ia very few from too much
ports are encouraging. The worst re-
ports as to wheat come from Kansas, in some
parts OF which, it is stated, the yield is oaiy live
bushels to the acre. But this is exceptional,
and la that State matters seem to be evenea up
by a big corn crop In glowing contrast 10
this report is one from Adrian, Mich, OF thirty
bushels OF wheat to the acre. Tho condition of
oats and other small grains varies widely in
different localities. but. on the whois. il Is
promising. The great need now is money to
move the crops, aud bankers in the northw est
are already wrestling with the problem.
Congress can greatly aid in this by
rapid action. Two acts Of legislation
are necessary to enable the country to
profit by the bounty of nature. One
is the restoration of our money to an
honest basis by the repeal OF the in
iquitous Sherman purchasing clauses.
This cannot be done too quickly.
But Congress can do something inore.
The volume of currency seems to be
insufficient for the business of the
country Some plan should be
promptly devised to increase it. So
far, nothing better has been proposed
than the permission to National
banks to issue notes to the par value
of their Government securities. It
affords a considerably increased circu-
lating medium backed by an absolute
guarantee. {
We regard favorably, also, the pro-
posal recently made by the Sun that
the Treasury should force a large
amount of cash into the mar
ket by calling in fifteen or TWEEN
ty millions of Government bonds
