SECOND WARDS DUTY.

The Second Ward election is being held
today. We appeal to all to vote the Demo-
cratic ticketfand against the corrupt po-
litical partnership that has for eight long
months been disgrscing their ward; and
rebuke, too, the phsrlsaical cry OF our
downtown contemporary. There is yet
time to cast ballot and we urge every
voter who can to do so. 1T is necessary
and right, and above all, the duty Of
every voter. The Democracy OF the city
expects every Democrat Of the ward to do
his duty. Let 1t be well performed by
el ecti ng the Democratic ticket.

THE SILVER JUBILEE.

1t was a fitting tribute that was paid
Rev. Father Halligan yesterday by the
psrishioners Of st. Mary's parish on the
accomplishment OF the twenty fifth
year OF his ordination to the priest hood.
BY costly gifts, by congratulations, by a
brilliant banquet, the members OF the
church testified their appreciation, their
love and honor for that faithful ana ever
ready pastor who has so long been their
spiritual guide and teacher.
Even the children, OF whom he is SO
fond, gave vent to their ieelings-and
what is more beautiful than the love and
affection OF little children. The exercises
in the parish school were particularly ap-
propriate and touching. 1t was all
W ortby OF the parish OF old st. Mary's.
IT was an honor to 1t as it was also an
honor to its worthy pastor.
The TRIBUNE also joins its expressions
OF congratulation and good will to
Father Halligan and trusts that for many
years to come he may be spared to con-
tinue the good work he has so faithfully
and admirably performed here in building
up and extending the work OF the Catho-
lie Church and making its influence for
good felt throughout the community.
We can only add, Well done, good and
faithful servant, which we know and feel
is the expression to be found In the hearts
of all.

did not have any OF the prisoners with u.s. they
were following on in the rear under a strong

little concerned in the matter, as my seat
was lust behind the driver and any bullet fired
at him would have gone through me. After the

Women in the Pulpit.

The Methodist Protestant church Is
making an extensive experiment In
preachers. AT the general conference OF
the denomination held at Westminster, Nd,
last May, after hard fight, il was deter
mined to admit women as delegates to the
conference, and also to ordain women as
ministers Of the gospel Since that time a
number OF them have entered the minis
terial field, and some few Of them have been
given churches. The innovation was, and
is still, looked upon as an experiment. but
the results achieved are said TO be very
gratifying, promising great future for
the woman in the pulpit
The greater number of the female preach
ers are in the middle and western states,
though in Maryland. North Carolina and
Florida there are spiritual flocks
ministered TO by shepherdesses. The
lady who has charge of the
work In Florida is Mrs. Springer
Oliver, of Circleville, o. Beside attending
to her duties as q minister she takes care OF
the office OF president Of the Florida State
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. and
reports received by the board of publication
OF the church, at Pittsburg, are to the effect
that her influence is very great. and is in
creasing.
1t will be remembered that the question of
woman's status in the church was the cause
of considerable discussion at the last general
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church northern branch. but no settlement
was reached. so the matter will probably be
revived at the next conference. Meanwhile
the Methodist Episcopal organization may
watch the work Of the women in the Metb~
odist Protestant organization and learn
something therefrom. 1t seems that they
have set out 10 demonstrate that sex
is no more a barrier TO the engage
ment of women In ecclesiastical work
than 10 art or literature, or any of the secu-
lar pursuits now open to the sexes alike.
Woman is taking leading part in politics;
in several states she can vote at political
elections. Why should she not also take
leading part in religion, and vote in church
elections3 Her appearance in the pulpit is
certainly more pleasing than her appearance
on the stump; still she has proved on the
stump that she is worthy Of an able foe
mans steel.

The Opposition to Judge Gresham.
1t is generally conceded that Judge
Gresham is to be Mr. Cleveland's Secretary
of State. The announcement that man
who, only little more than four years ago,
was candidate for the republican nomlna.
ton for President, is to have the first place
in the cabinet Of democratic administra-
ton, naturally causes great deal OF COM
ment. And, strange as it may seem, the COM
ment by republicansis much more unfriendly
than that by democrats.
AS general thing, democrats do not OBJ
iect to Judge Grisham for Secretary Of
State, though some of the democratic lead
ers cay they think Mr.. Cleveland would
have shown wisdom by selecting demo
crat for the place. They point out that
Judge Gresham's democracy consists Ia his
support of Mr.. Cleveland in the last national
election and his announcement that he APP
proves the democratic position relative to
the tariff.
The republican leaders now say some Bit
ter things Of Judge Gresham, and the re-
publican press will assail him vigorously in
all probability as soon as 1t is authorita-
lively stated that he has consented to enter
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet. Although it is
well known that Judge Gresham entertains
very bitter feeling for Gen. Harrison, and
it was not expected that be would vote for
Gen. Harrison in the last election, still the
republican leaders did not think he would
60 so far as to openly support the demo-
cratic nominee. That he helped MIR. Cleve~
land greatly in the west there is no doubt,
but Mr. Cleveland does not owe his election
TO him.
OF course the republicans can say nothing
against Judge Gresham's public or private
character, but they will probably insinuate
that he supported Mr.. Cleveland with the
belief that he would be rewarded if Mr..
Cleveland was succe: sful. However, as long
as the democrats find no fault with MIR.
Cleveland's choice for the leading place in
his cabinetit is not a matter of much conse-
quence what the republicans say.
The suggestion has already been thrown
out that it was intimated TO Judge Gresham
that if he accepted the state portfolio Mr..
Cleveland would appoint him TO the supreme
bench should a vacancy occur during his
administration. Doubtless Mr.. Cleveland

court if the opportunity TO do SO should
present itself but no fair-minded man be-
lieves there is an understanding relative to
that matter. Mir. Cleveland wants Judge
Gresham in his cabinet because he admires
the man and believes he could strengthen
his administration. Between such men as
Mr.. Cleveland and Judge Gresham there is
not likely 10 be any bargains.

that Mr.. Hoke Smith is being actually and
deliberately run down by that cabinet office.
He has tried to, but cannot escape it. AT
least two newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington, those Of the New York Sun and the
PittsDurg Dispatch, report that Mr.. Smith
unburdened himself to them recently, avow-
Ing that he bad no aspirations in the direc-
tien Of cabinet Office; that he wished only
10 sell out his newspaper interests and de-
vote himself to the practice Of his profess
sion. II these correspondents have written

to keep after him SO persistently. The Office
should learn that there is vast difference

him.

An enterprising republican contemporary
says the reason positions in Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet are so frequently declined is be-
cause it has become known what hard
mastern he was to his former cabinet. But
the paper neglects to state how il knows the
positions have been frequently declined. 1t
is probable that they have not. because
there is q wide difference between cabinet
rumors and the actual rendering OF cabinet
offices. 1t may be true that several gentle
men have declined to enter the cabinet, but
it is safe to say that almost invariably the
reason has been that they could not afford
TO accept an Office, the salary attached to
which is less than enough to keep up ap-
pearancesn on.
