We must speak deserved word concern
ing Mr.. BRENNAN. the ex- Com missioner OF the
Department OF Street Cleaning. He stroye
hard to perform tho duties OF his office, and
he deserves credit for services rendered.
The demands made upon him q year ago
whom the city was threatened with q visitation
OF cholera, were such as could not have
been fulfilled by any man. but he certainly did
great things in cleaning up the city. and he
got as much work out OF tho money at his SER
vice as could have been got out OF 1t. under
the circumstances by any other man. The
demands made upon him by the Mugwumps
last winter. during the heavy snow storms Of
December. January. and February. were i'm
possible of accomplishment. In the spring he
undertook to carry out certain REFORMS In the
organization OF the forces under his COM
mand. and his meanest assailants must admit
that he was not wholly unsuccessful. When
no left office this week. most parts OF the city

An authentic and important statement Of
the position occupied by Senator HILL respect
Ing the silver question is presented in u con-
spicuous part Of our pages this morning. On
this subject. as on every other the distln-
guished Senator supports the doctrine laid
down In the Chicago platform. "Wo hold to
the use OF both gold and silver rs the standard
money OF the country" says the platform.
and to the coinage OF both gold and sill
YER without discrimination against either
m etal or charge for mintage; but the dollar
unit OF coinage OF both metals must be OF equal
intrinsic and exehangeable value. or bo adj
jnsted through International agreement. or by
such safeguards Of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance OF the parity OF tho two
metals. and the equal power Of every dollar at
all times In the markets and In payment OF
debt; and we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redesmsble in
such COIN"
This 10 the text that Senator HILL ably en-
forces: and 1t is not necessary to add that his
views will be attentively scanned by the whole
public.

A curious suggestion Is made by Brit
ish military paper, the United Service CO.
sette. "As the French naval man9uvres
this year In the Channel" says that au-
thorty, coincide with the period of our
own mobilization. there Is some probability
OF night action taking place between
French and English chips. II. as may easily
happen. they should chance to meet and
not recognize each others nationality"
The chances used to be reckoned up Of g
collision OF German outposts and French
troops during the practice man2uvres OF
the latter along their frontier; but the pos
sbility OF battle by mistake between two
man9uvring squadrons Is novel notion.
II we look at the programme of evolu-
tons as arranged. We find two series of
operations provided for. one being in the
Mediterranean and the other In the English
Channel. In the former, which will be GO
ing on during the present week, Admiral
VIaSEs will command the active squadron.

rendezvous at Ajacclo. His enemy will be
Admiral DE BoIssoUDY. who will command
the reserve squadron. which assemblies at
the Hes d'hyeres. The latter squadron Ia
charged with the task Of making either all
attack upon Corsica or descent upon the
coast OF Algeria between Bougie and
Cape Bon. Admiral VIGSEs must
send out cruisers from his feet to

All Natural Enough.

Some OF the former Episcopallan asso
clates Of the Rev. Mr.. ADAMS are foolish
enough to attribute his going over to the
church Of Rome to intellectual weakness
and perversion amounting to actual aber
ration. They tell stories Of his eccentrici
ties. and profess to pity him as victim o.
mental disease.
The statement OF his reasons for trans
ferring his religious allegiance which wal
made by Mr.. ADAMS gave no such indica
tions. 1t was marked to some extent by
emotonalism. but that IL distinguishing
quality OF tho clergy. The emotional side is
cultivated more In them than In other men
1t Is developed oftentimes to a degree that
is almost feminine. They reason with their
hearts. jump to conclusions, and exhibit
without shame weaknesses Of spirit which
men generally control or conceal.
As whole tho statement was clear. con-
secutive. strong, sensible. and coherent
Mr.. ADAMS took the steps which are usual
In passing from Professionalism to Roman
Ism. He had always been stickler for
church authority. and he found that he
could not get that authority in its fulpess
except in the church Of Rome. 1t was an
entirely natural. normal, and logical prog
ress. Moreover. his explanation proved
that he is a conscientious man. and that is
tho main thing. He refused to remain In a
false position. though by getting out Of 1t
he sacrificed material advantages priced
and properly priced by everybody.
Mr.. ADAMS has simply Joined long pro-
cession OF Professionals who felt the need Of
the support Of a church they could learn to
believe in as infaliible. They could not
stand alone. They could not be hap
py and in religious doubt at the same
time. They could not settle tho great
problems Of life and death for themselves;
tied for them. SO that the whole subject
might be taken from their questioning.
That Is the imperative need Of many
natures. They cannot be agnostics. They
cannot give up the riddle. They demand
that it shall be solved. and they are restless
until they have reached the solution. which
they commonly do by submitting to au-
thority. Then they find peace for their
souls. They have transferred their load.
At this period OF religious skepticism
even in the ranks Of the clergy. nay. in
those ranks more especially. it Is not sur
prising that this tendency toward Rome
should appear. When Professionals give up
the Divine authority OF the Bible. what
other authority have they to rest upon. save
the authority Of an infallible church, They
must so one way or the other. They must
pass over into agnosticism. or they must
yield their Wills to the church. trusting it
as divine.
Therein lies the great and enduring
strength Of the church Of Rome. 1t stands
Of itself and on Its own foundation. It
claims the final and infallible authority. It
has no BRIGGS controversy over the Bible.
for the Bible rests upon the authority OF
the church.
The feeling that dependence on such
church authority is essential does not In
dictate imbeciity. 1t indicates a craving
and sense OF helplessness which are COM
mon in humanity in the presence of the
awful problem OF existence.
