Inquirer: No, it does not follow from the
remarks of Rev. Mr.. Macintosh as re-
ported in yesterdays Journal that he would
not engage in the work of municipal reform
la Parkhurst If occasion seemed to re-
quire. What he said related to the church
and politics, and not to individuals and Esol-
tiles. Parkhurst, it must be remembered,
undertook his reform labors as a citizen
and not as a minister. Mr.. Macintosh, it
may be remembered. shows admirable cath
olcity of spirit and very level head in his
recognition of the honest differences of
opinion among citizens and of the fact that
one class cannot be forced to regulate its
behavior in accordance with the views of
another class however correct the latter
may seem to be.

After ten years in Congress, during
which he did not thing for the benefit
of his district, Mr.. Bynum is practically
political mendicant. He has been i'm
ploring the President for this office and
that, evidently convinced that it is the
first duty of the government to take
care of him. The latest position he is
reported to be seeking is place on the
New York board of general appraisers
of imported merchandise. There Is
the most experienced experts in the
appraisal of merchandise in the
country, is seriously i'll, and Mr..
Bynum has laid claim to his position.
The duties of the appraisers require
them to be we'll informed as to the val
ues and qualities of merchandise, and
familiar with the customs laws and de-
cisions. Mr. Bynum has none of these
qualifications, but these things seem not
to count with him. He must have
living as place holder. 1t is his pro-
fession. Fitness ca aptitude for official
duties is of no consequence. The eff
cheney of the customs service does not
count. Mr.. Bynum belongs to the office
holding profession, and it is the first
duty of the government to furnish him
a place. True, no man less deserves
such recognition, but even that does
not count.

A correspondent in a recent letter
asks if labor has advanced in this coun-
try since the coinage of silver ceased
to be free. The writer is an intelligent
man, but he has devoted his energies
TO acquiring misinformation regarding
the money question to the exclusion of
accurate information. Have wages adj
vanced since 1873? Yes, both in this
country and Germany In this country
the advance was steady until the cleo
ton of 1892. In the exhaustive inves-
tigation made by the Bureau of
Labor at Washington for the Sem
ate finance committee in 1892. it
appears that. making the amount of
all wages 100 in 1860, they gradually adj
vanced to 1907 on a simple average. and
to 1855 on an average based upon the
Importance of the employment The
average in 1878, according to the inn
portance OF the employment, was 147.4.
That is. to 1892 there was an increase
at 2I.2 cents

why They DIan't Take washington.

StrolIing along the Virginia roads lead

to wonder why the Confederate troops did
not capture the city when they had the
chance early in the civil war. Somebody
asked General Beauregard why the South

after the first Bull Rum and he answered
very seriously: well. | will tell you; the

No Cheap Notoriety for Morton.
Brooklyn Eagle.

The proposition to appropriate the sum
of $50, 600 for the erection of stables for
the use of the Governor of the State, has
been abandoned owing to the objections
of Mr.. Morton himself. There is no ques-
ton that the stables are needed and the
appropriation suggested would be just uil-
der the constitution, but the Governor
does not desire the cheap notoriety that
would attend his veto of appropriation
by which he was to be personally bene-
fitted He is quite willing that the stables
shall be built at State expense for his sue
to avail himself of their use. This is not
a large matter at best but shows that Mr..
Mortons sense of SELF respect is proper
tomato to the position he occupies and lifts
him out of the category of tin pan states
men who like to use veto power for pur-
TO be built and Governor Morton should
have the use of them in spite of his OBJ
jections though that is out of the ques-
ton as matters stand.

running away when the Japanese army

Jastai Sheng merely filed for defraud-
ing the government by charging $1,000 0o0
for worthless rifles and muskets which had
cost him $500 900. Admiral Ting, the only
Chinese commander who displayed heroism,
committed suicide rather than go to Picking
and be decapitated for having been defeat
ed in open battle. General Liu, who sold
five hundred barrels of rubbish to the gov
eminent as fine gunpowder, was thanked
and promoted.

Miss Ahern, whose term of Office as State
Librarian expired yesterday, retires with
tho good wishes of all the PATRONS of the
library She has been found courteous and
efficient, and in her six years of service as
assistant and chief, successfully, has de-
veloped a fitness for the work which makes
her retirement matter for regret. The
new incumbent will doubtless be equally
efficient should she serve an equal length
of time hut no library should be put into
inexperienced hands, and all persons who
are interested in the proper care and build
ing up of this important State institution
lament the custom that has, in the past,
made it a political football. Thanks to
Republican Legislature, this has been
changed, and henceforth this appointment
will rest with the State Board of Ed
ucation, and the professional qualifications
of the applicants are likely to be the only
test. When that is done the State library
will assume its proper Importance and use
fulness, will cease to be a mere collection
of books and will become a harmonious
structure such as skilled control and unity
of management alone can give it. Mean
while, the public will welcome the coming
and speed the parting official with equal
good will to both.

In England the statistics of the Society
of Friends show that the death rate
slightly exceeds the birth rate in that
ganization, thus showing a. steady decrease
in the membership. The Philadelphia Press
makes what it considers the alarming dis
covery that there is even greater de-
crease of the birth rate among the Quakers
in this country, but declares that similar
state of things exists in other classes OF
society of the same moral and virtuous
grade In the large central wealthy
churches of Philadelphia. it says, Whether
Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian, Meth
odist or Baptist, the baptisms are few by
the side of the funerals, and the deaths
undoubtedly considerably exceed the
births. In this CITY, taken at
large, the recorded births are
fully 10000 more numerous than the
deaths; Sut in the Eighth ward (presum
ably an aristocratic and church-going
ward) the deaths twice as numerous
In most years as the Births Perhaps this
condition of affairs does not indicate the
national danger the Press fears. The
fact that younger members of Quaker
households have way of drifting off into
other churches may go far to explain the
phenomenon in case of that sect There is
also a disposition, unfortunate, possibly,
but nevertheless in force, among the de-
scendants of generations of church-goers
not to unite formally with any religious
society Whatever moral degeneracy this

inferiority, and deterioration of the race IS
not necessarily to be inferred. Church sta
tistics are apt to be misleading, and in
spite of them the race seems to the un-
prejudiced observer to keep up its aver

Reminiscence of Isaac r. Gray.

Il want no law between me and the
gro. j not afraid to enter the intel
lectual race of life with him. If he out
strips me it is all right. If the God of
the universe has seen fit to endow him
with a better brain than he has me, that
is not his fault; or, if he has been more
studious in the cultivation of the intellect
God has given him. and has therSy made
himself more intelligent man than am,
that should be set down to his credit anc
to my disgrace" Who do you suppose said
that? 1t Sounds like an old-fashoned BLACK
Republican speech of the war era, does it
not? And this. again: There are some
men in this country who want a law be-
tween them and the negro. who are afraid
of this thing of amalgamation, who, if
they have not a law between them and the
negro, fear the first colored woman whom
they meet in the road will rush into their
arms and amalgamate them right off. But
/ do not think that my copperhead friends
need law of this Kind so bad as they
think they do, for do not believe that
there is a respectable colored woman ia
the State who would think of marrying a
Copperhead." That has the old Adolf
zionist ring to it, has it not? Well, the
place where those words were spoken was
meeting in Starts Hall, and the date
the 18th of March. 1856. The speaker was
Isaac Pusey Gray, who six years later left
the Republican party on the issue of its
reconstruction policy in the South. and
afterward served twice as Democratic
Governor of Indiana 1t seems odd now to
go back over that early part of his career
when he trained with Morton and assailed
Eallandigham from every stump.
