severe and devastating forms Of social phenomena
which the rural minister has TO fear. Its worst
feature is that il always comes, when his salary
has been long unpaid, in the gtiisc of aid, AMI

Magistrate Moreover. the natural disposition
Of good citizens to think well of their President
is strengthened in the case of Mr. Cleveland
by the general knowledge of his character and
belief in his sincerity. Ills first term was not
distinguished by any notable achievements OIL
statcsman>hip and it was maired by some con-
spicnous faults and failures. But fer all OF
these Mr. Cleveland was not wholly rspon-
siblc lie unquc>tionably grew as Il man ana
an Executive under the responsibilities OF his
great Office. and he took back 10 private life
larger measure Of popular esteem than he pos
seSScd AT the beginning Of his Administration.
And he has not wasted nor miscmpfoycd the
last four years. He has been an hCnorcd and
rubIic-spiriicd citizen Of NcwYolk during this
time, living the rather difficult life OF a retired
President in such a manner as to retain the
entire respect Of this community. Whether or
not Mr. Cleveland, in addition to his other tteS
to regard, is better than his party is question
of which it is not necessary at present - re-
sumo discussion. The country may possibly
discover that Il Democratic President who Is
moro courageous and consistent than his party
is an extremely dangerous man. But that Is
one of the risks which the people deliberately
determined to incur, aS they had Perfect right
to do.
We offer Mr.. Cleveland therefore. our sin
corc congratulations upon the splendid opror-
tunitcs with which he has been intrtI>tod and
assure him for ourselves and in behalf of the
Republican party, so far rs we may venture -
speak for il. that his late advcrsaricS will be
glad to support and commend him when they
think they can justly do so. 1t will be our
duty to critci>c the policies which his party is
pledged to enact and he t. execute. and per-
haps ~ condemn many acts of his Admins
tration. But we have not the slightest cXrccl
ton of being compelled t. question the Iccti-
tide of his Intentions and our opposition will
be equally honest.

Of Albany. Mr. Hit, who is a leading Demo-
crat of that city, ran for the Assembly last

Democratic stronghold. But the majority Of
the voters of the district had the good sense
to support the Republican candidate, and Mr.
Hit was elected t. stay at home. He now re-

remarks:

ton by local traitors to Democracy In the larger per
spcc,iye Of tie Nation and Of the Democracy Of

THE GOLD EXODUS.

Secretary Fosters judgment regarding the
need of bond issues has been completely vim
dcltcd by the event. When Wall Street bank
ers were bescGing the Administration to borrow
SO. 600 900 instantly and in great excitement
were predicting terrible results urlc.s tho Id
reserve should at once be thus fortified. Mr.
Foster and the President steadily refused, IN
the firm belief that the demands upon the re
serve would not reduce it below the hundred
million limit during the term of tho present
Administrator. The event proves that they
were right, and the bankers were unduy in
Ducnced by their fears or their prospective in
tcrest, in bond operations. The President and
Secretary felt that an actual necessity for Dor
rowing more gold would not arise long rs
the reserve exceeded 500. 900 GOO, that the
law would not authorize an issue Of bonds
except in the presence Of real necessity. and
that the next Administration might properly
be left free 10 adopt whatever measures it
might deem wise in the light Of future crcum-
stances. II cannot now be denied that this
position, however di>appo inting {, some sp- Gu
lators, was emincntly wise, and has proved
for the good of the country.
The next Administration will have 10 dc
tcrminc before long what il will do - meet
the probable outgo Of gold during the next
four or five months. lis real difficulty is not
that the Treasury will be exhausted, but that
the gold reserve may be too far reduced by
exports. For exports OF gold usually exceed
imports in these months. and this year the out
ward movement seems likely 10 be rendered
larger than usual b,ciuSc exports # products
are jmIaratlvcl, small, while import, are cx-
uaOIdinary in amount. If di>trI,t Of Amcri-

Mr.. Clevclands inaugural will for that re;is IN
deal very plainly and cmphaticlly with the
silver question. and yet ii has been shown that
his opinions are not those Of his party, which

TUE RESTORATIO.N.

Mr.. Cleveland enters to-day upon his second
term in the Presidential Office with the respect
and goodwill of the American ope. 4 noble
opportunity to serve the country is presented
to him, and at the same time some peculiar
cmbaTassmcnts confront him. His fellow
citizens without distinction of party will re-
joice to see him surmCunt the difficulties and
utilize the advantages Of his position for the
honor and welfare of all. The Dcmociatic
triumph OF last November. dcplcrcd us it was
by the defeated party, produced little bitter
ness or resentment. Eight years ago when a
few hundred votes in this State determined
the electoral contest. the feeling that an acct
dent. if not plot, had interviewed to reverse
the real choice of the country naturally pro-
longed the hostilitics Of the campaign. The
last Republican defeat was so decisive as to
leave NJ room for aSpcrity, but rather t, sug
gest to every patriotic mind the duty and priv
ilcgc of cheerful acquicsccncc. However great
the error into which the country was led. in
the belief Of millions, there is no possible doubt
that at least for the time being the majority
wanted the change of government which was
consttutionally decroed. Every good citizen
has Loyalty accepted that verdict.
Because therefore, the people respect and
cherish their own civil institutions they give to
Mr.. Cleveland az the beginning of his second
term the assurance of their hearty goodwill.
Ho is to be- as they assume, the President of
the whole country, and until he cvncei a pur-
pose to be the President of party or IA faction
they will render him all the consideration and
support which true patriotism requires. The
controversies Of parties will continue to be Us

The Rev. DIR Talmagc says that since the old
Brooklyn Tabernacle was burned, three ycals and
four months ago. he has received only S62s Of salary
from his church. That is about Sl5 a month
certainly moderate salary for noted preacher
The fact undoubtedly is that in erecting its big
new building IN Il fashionable ncighborh0od, the
Tabernacle society undertook too much. Dr..
1almage, by relinquishing his salary. seems 10
have done his part toward carrying the heavy
burden assumed; but now il is intimatcd that he
may give up the fight and resign. Such stcp
on his part would in all probability make an end of
the Tabernacle as a church building.
