A Foolish objection.

We are rather weary of the claim
made by some olergymen that, because
Miss Willard has never been a mother,
her opinion about the training of boys
and girls for the church is valueless. II
this is true. IL would logically exclude
every man from the possibility of hav-
ing good ideas about the education Of
children. The histo~-, church has al
ways made celibacy requisite for reli.
gious teachers. II the unmarried condi-
tion renders one sex superior for ethical
instruction, why should 1t not render
the other?
Il seems to me that this argument is
kept mp, not for the honor Of God. but
for the purpose of placing q ban upon
womanhood, and such treatment of a
gifted woman deserves the most disdain-
full disapprobation. - Louisa South.

NENY1aK STOCK AK ST.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-In a general
way the average Wall street habitue
was prepared, after the close of bust
ness yesterday, for probable depres-
sion in the stock market to-day on ac-
count of the Venezuelan message epi-
sode and the renewed heavy outward
movement of gold. The actual develop
ments of the day accordingly caused
a sensation in financial circles that has
not been equalled since the Barring
panic; in fact, in some particulars that
gloomy event was oyershadowed in
point of interest. The first stock came
in the shape Of a panicky market in
American securities in London, with
declines extending to five per cent.
British consols also came lower. The
successive cables reported great excite
ment at that center and wholesale
liquidation of the international stocks
at raqidly receding figures. Before the
opening hour it was definitely stated
by gold shipping houses that So, 400,000
of the S5,000,000 that was expected to
go out tomorrow would be arranged
for to-day. The combined influence of
the developments noted was re-
fiected in a wild opening in the
local stock and bond market. Trading

and in the initial dealings breaks oc-

-Corbin, the lawyer employed by the
Senate Investigating Committee to exam
inc witnesses, still usurps the duties of the
committee and imperlinently ventilatts his
opinions upon questions that come before
that body as though they were of rare
value. He appears to have tongue that
runs away with him. Week before last
he asserted that the press of the State
were purchased or controlled by their
assignment to publish the laws. The gen.
tleman is itching to be kicked, perhaps.
His charge is cheeky one for a per-
son of his profession, who can be secured
by So retainer TO take any side OF any
question in law; and it is not unjust to the
gentleman to say that if the Senate Com.
mittee had not secured his services, Mes.
sers Kelsey & Co. would have had no diff
flculty in doing so and he would have had
no qualms In claiming that his clients
were virtuous, honest and law abiding.

year. These sums, however, do not show
the entire profits Of the office, for there
are large sums due these clerks from law
yers of the State that if collected, will
still further increase their income. II has
been known for years that the salary Of these
officers was enormous, and far beyond q
just compensation for the work or RESPONSE
bility, but no effort has been made to save
the money to the State. Now that the
Senate Investigating Committee has drawn
from these officers an acknowledgment
of the amounts received, 1t will be the
duty of the Legislature to at once fix the
salary by law and cause the excess to
be paid over to the State Treasury.
