His Scalp Not Loosened.

Lately some talk has been made To the
effect that persons unfavorable 10 A T.
Braymer have been after his scalp as

by the recent amendment to a city ordi-

the work Of supervising the connection OF
private sewers with public sewers. and
giving that duty TO the street department

THE PREACHER IN POLITICS.

There never was such a time iI America for the preacher in politics and there never was such a widespreG disposition on the part of the pulpit tC utilize the latitude that appears to have
 been granted to it in that direction
 Dr. Parkhurst led the way and set the example, and now there seems to be little hope of stopping the contagion says the Houston (Tex) Post.
 Unquestionably many of these min isters who are leaving the beaten path and leaving the proper path, too, are small men, who are actuated only by a love of notoriety. It consumes them as a flame, and they could not keep quiet if they tried ever so hard. On the other hand, many are big minded and big hearted, who, as they have the inattention to duty by officials forced upon them, and see the gross corrup- tion in high and low political station, feel they are but doing their duty as citizens and recognized moral teachers to denounce the current order of things and demand purity and reform in pull pit life As an instance of this pulpit interest in politics, may be cited the showing in the local columns of Bal timore paper recently. In it's religious news for one Sabbath there were syn opses of political sermons from six of the leading churches of the city.
 To use the pulpit for partisan or fac tioal attacks is prostitution of that sacred stand and generally an insult to the natural and honest differences of opinion among a minister's auditors To generalize in the interest of good government and good morals, to pie ture a high standard of manhood and public service, is perfectly legitimate, and the church can become the hand maiden of purer politics in this way, but only in this way For the minister to descend to party, or indulge in fac tional fights, as too many do, in the 11,,it ic cir J,ly tn a skirts of the church in the mire of politics without cleansing the latter. There is a distinction with a big diff ference in the way the pulpit proposes to manage this, it's new departure.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

MT. Eustis, or somebody acting for him., has persuaded Mrs. Waller that he has done the best possible for her husbands advantage. If that be true, the blame for the delay which has ex- asperated and humiliated the country must be wholly with the government at Washington. MT. Eustis has only limited powers of action, and unless supported by the home administration his efforts would be futile.
 Waller was arrested on the fifth day of March. He was convicted by illegal court-martial after a mock trial last ing three hours fortnight after his ar rest. He was immediately sent to France chained to the deck of a ship, and put in French dungeon. The first demand of the United States gov ernment for an explanation and a copy UT IuO ISCOI us IOllOW0u lmuu0uldl6ly '. The demand should have been at once granted. If the French government would not or could not furnish the re- quired evidence of the guilt of this American citizen, his release should have been instantly and peremptorily requested. The records to justify the imprisonment should have accom- panied the prisoner. Any govern ment with a sense of its duty would have accepted no compromise or de- lay
 But the French not once but repeat edly have flouted and insulted this country. Months have elapsed. There has been time over and over abain to bring the papers from Mada- gascar. Allowing for all the time re- quired for red tape negotiations, the Waller case ought to have been set tied three months ago. The Cleveland administration has shown the most cowardIy feebleness in the matter, and at the bar of public opinion it receives the strongest condemnation.
