many affairs. But the answer to it
may be uad in what has been accom-
p.ished already. Tammany is TO be
made thoroughly respectable. The
fatal mistake Of permitting the orgaui-
zation to fan into the hands Of disrcp-
stables is not likely to be made again.
Ii is an open secret in the Wigwam that
all the shady characters viii be elimi-
mated Bat more than this. men Of
position win be brought into the ranks.
Among these are men like William G.
" hitney. the Be.monts and few others
Of equal standing in the world outside
a, we'll as inside politics Some mere
duiity has been expressed as 10 the
truthfulne>s of statements that men
of this sort would ally themselves with
Taumany, in the organizations present
condition. Such incredibly reveals
a misunderstanding of the situation.
There is no man in the city
Of New York more friendly TO
Tamnany than William c. Whit
uey. His great wealth IS almost
wholly in municipal franchises, and in
corporations created through the city
government at time when the latter
was entirely in Tammany hands. a
nod would convert the Tammany men
in the Legislature into so many foes
to Whitncy's corporations. Notwith-
standing all that has been said regard
ing the emancipation of corporations
from the necessity of paying political
tribute, it is a fact that they are all in
great awe of the machine. Mr. Whit
ney, as is 10y this time an open secret,
has lcng wished tOshaie off Tammany.
But Tammany ciings to him like a
loech. The Tiger includes in the same
comprehensive aifeetionate embraces
all the democrats OF standing who con-
sort with Whitney. The invitation to
these men was but Il veiled command.
But they in their turn have been able
TO exact conditions. Mr. Croker, with
out seeming to be so, is largely in their
hands. That is one reason why Tam
many has become so severely respecta-
bic. Another terrifying thing to the
Tiger was the threat of exclusion from
the next democratic national convcn-
ton. That would, indeed, be a serious
blow. But Mr Whitney has agreed to
avert 1t under certain conditions. 1t will
thus be seen that this politician is prac-
tically the central figure in the situa-
ton. He and the Belmonts are the
pictured trinity of every Tammany

 The church is small one and com posed of members who are not wealthy. It does not pay a regular salary but when the Rev. Mir. Clark accepted the pasrUrate he says lie was promised that he should not want for anything. The donations and subscriptions upon which the trustees depended to make good their promises were not forthcoming, and Mir. Clark soon found himself face to face with the problem which drove Mr. Feicke out of the ministry.
 He has rendered his resignation ill a letter, ill which he said that during the six months he had acted as pastor of the church he had received just S2S. 50 This was hard enough to bear, but when certain members of the congregation began to islander him 1t was more than he could stand New York Herald

FOR POOR SOLDIERS.
Plan to Distribute sa5 5.0o0,o0O Among
 Distressed Southern Veterans.


 Distressed Southern Veterans.
 Congressman Otey of Virginia will probably introduce a bill in the house at the proper time providing for the payment of the interest on d fund of about $25. .000, GOO to needy Confederate soldiers of the south The principal rep resents the increment of fund that Was sequestered in the treasury long tlme ago for want of evidence showing directly to whom the money is payable. All that is known about it is that it be- longs to the south, and several Repub- hean congresses have declared that if the rlghtful claimants could be found they would favor the payment to them Of the large fund.
 The rightful owners are still un- known, and the government is holding the money in trust without being able to use it. MT. Otey's plan is to distrib- ute the interest on the money among Confederate soldiers who are in distress, and when they 10 longer need this aid, to turn the principal over to the goyerh- ment and make it available by canceling all future claims to it, by an act of con gress. He says the measure has been recommended by c. A. R. posts and prominent Republicans. He will ask a Republican member to submit the bill. but # nono can be found to do so, he f 7uee it biS self Wqahington
