CONTESTED CHURCH SITES
Comfy Committee Decision
Favors Howard Presbyte-
rian Church.
DR., CRUzAN Is THE PLAINTIFF.
Question of Priority of Claim by
ongregatIonalists and
Presbyterians.

The comfy committee, composed of an
eoual representation from the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian churches OF Cali
forn1a, has decided that Howard Presoyte-
rian Church has claim prior to that OF
Park Congregational Church to erect
place OF worship at the panhandle.
For the purpose of amicably adjusting
difficulties between Congregational ana
Presbyterian churches desiring to gain
foothold in territory previously unoccu-
pied by Protestant denominations; should
both denominations wish to build up mis-
sions where it is manifest that only one
may be supported, the divines who COM
pose this committee are called upon 70
adiudicate. Heretofore its powers have
been exercised chiefly if not solely IN ref
erence to the establishment of missions in
country places, but Rev. J. a. CruZan, pas
tor of Park Congregational Church, asked
its intervention in behalf Of his church,
with the result stated.
Park Congregational Church was organ
lied in February, 1884. Prior to that time
a Congregational mission Sunday-school
had, in a sense, occupied the territory now
claimed by the Park Church, which is wor-
Shipping in hall at the corner OF Fell and
Baker streets. These facts formed the
Udo4S lOI MI. OIuLdll s cldltll LLldb NllO 4ApWT
ard Church people were interiopers-
Christian aud cultured interlopers-but
interlopers nevertheless.
Howard Church, represented by its pas
tor, Rev. f. B. FaTrand, showed that the
San Francisco presbytery had, in April,
1893, purchased lots at Page and Clayton
streets, for the purpose of holding that
district as field for the followers Of Cal
vim. Howard Church, Mr.. Farrand told
the comfy committee, had announced its
intention OF moving to the panhandle four
months ago, and the presbytery had con-
Guided to sell its lots, thus reIInquishing
the field to Howard Church as its repre-
sentative. In view OF these statements,
the committee rendered unanimous de-
cision as to Howard Church having the
stronger claim.
1t was an amicable settlement, and in all
probability both churches viii proceed
with their plans for building as before.
The trustees of Howard Church have
selected the plans Of two OF the competing
architects from among the work of all
competitors and have asked for further de-
tails OF the specifications. When these
are completed the choice will be OF the
cheaper, and it is expected that work will
commence before the close of the month
on the site at the southwest corner of Oak
and Baker streets.
The matter Of consolidation of Park with
Olivet Congregational Church is still be-
ing agitated. There is strong sentiment
on both sides OF the question. If this is
not effected Park Church win erect q build
ing, although the site has not been dear
mined,

THE RETURN OF BUCKLEY.

Ordinarily The CALL would refrain from
the seeming impertlnence of interfering
by suggestions with the management of
Democratic politics in San Francisco, but
1t has a duty higher than mere political
considerations. Whether or not the De-
mocracy under any circumstances, Judging.
by its local history, should develop that
conception of right conduct which would
entitle 1t to a hand in the conduct of the
City government is not so important
matter as the dominating influence which
directs it. This power is Mr.. Christopher
Buckley, whose history and affiliations are
perfectly familiar to every intelligent cit
iEen.
Under his skilIful leadership the Demoe-
racy has practically controlled the govern
ment of the City for many years, and from
the public officers under his direction have
come most of the scandals which have
made the City a byword in the West. He
cannot be! regarded as Democrat in the
proper sense, and no Democrat who is both
a responsible man and good citizen can
acknowledge him as leader. Every voter
who assists him proclaims himself an en-
envy OF San Francisco and the member of
a league organized for plumber. No such
l. voter can be regarded as having the good
of the City or even of the Democratic party
at heart. There is not shadow of a prin-
ciple in the kind of politics which Buckley
represents. Every victory which he wins
IN the name OF the Democracy is a sheer
at the pretensions of the party to respecta-
bility. integrity and patriotism.
Mr.. Buckley has boldly entered the poll
teal held and is striving to gather up the
loose ends which he dropped when he fed
to Canada to. escape the operation of our
laws. His first dash for victory was a.
failure, but it is merely matter of time
when his extraordinary skill will win, and
he will have his formidable gang at the
City's throat. His power is we'll known
and cannot be gainsaid. So far as we are
able to judge, the respectable, .dipnifed.
patriotic elements of the local Democracy
are not at all dismayed by the threat of
Buckley's re-entrance into local "poIitics. ;"
We have heard nothing as yet of an indig-
nant Democratic reputation of him and
his methods. So far as we can see there
seems to be only suppressed sort of ad-
miration of the man S audacity and shrewd-
ness.
And yet the local Democracy is directly
responsible for him and therefore for the
methods which he practices and the harm
which he does to San Francisco. 1t is the
duty OF that party to take the first step
toward his suppression. That failing, the
struggle of self-protection on the part of
the respectable citizens outside of that
party will be all the harder, but for all that
there is not a good citizen who will hest
tate to assail the task 1t is incredible that
San Francisco would be content to fall
back into the old evil ways after making
so brave start toward decency and prog
ress.

She Was Stricken With Paralysis, but Is
Now Recovering.
The wife OF Colonel Shafter of Angel
Island is improving. She was stricken
with paralysis over month ago and has
been unable to move or speak ever since.
She was attending celebration of the
thlrty-third anniversary of her wedding,
and was being conducted into the supper
room by one of the officers when she was
taken suddenly i'll. The servants carried
her to the colonePs quarters, but it was
found that her right side was paralyzed.
UP, to yesterday she never spoke a word,
and when the attendants found she was
conscious they at once spread the news,
and the joy in the garrison was great
Mrs. Shafter is now very much better, and
the post surgeon THINKS that she will re-
cover the use of her limbs in time.
