Two Causes why the Old Parish is
Fast Approaching Dissolution.

The growth of cities produces always a
marked change in those portions wherein
the business of the city is conducted. AS
warehouses, offices and factories increase
private residences diminish inversely pro-
portionate. Downtown churches lose
their congregations who move into the
suburbs, and then comes the question,
What shall he don with the old
church," Jersey City has many of these
cases, and of them is that of st. Matthews
M. H. Throop, speaking about the decad-
ence in his parish, recently said to a

The uncomfortable-for the G. Q. p
President Cleveland has another message
up his sleeve. 1t is said that he will shoot
it off when the Rivers and Harbors bill
is presented to him, discharging at the
same time a comprehensive and emphatic
veto against that interesting measure.
The bill a-ppropriates a great many mil
contracts calling for se5, 100000 of expendi-
lures in future years. This, it is said, Nj.
Cleveland thinks wildly extravaganza for
g country that is running behind in its ex-
penses some fifteen to twenty million dol
lars a year, and for a Congress which has
emphatically refused to provide any
means of increasing the national revenue.
The attitude of the Republican party
towards the Treasury has long been a
%onundrrrm to thinking men. In one breath
it exaggerates the deficit. and inveighs
against the alleged increase in the ma
tional debt. In the next, it IS ready to
lavish twenty millions upon new ships
for the navy, twenty millions on fortifica-
tions and eighty or ninety millions upon
utterly unfmportant streams ard duck
ponds, termed by legislative courtesy nav
igahfe waters. At one moment in a word,
the country is in the throes of bankruptcy;
in the next, it has money to burn and
money to throw into the sea. So the brain
of the average man swims in trying to
understand what the Republican party
thinks it's idea of national finances is.
If the President carries out the idea of
letting daylight in on the subject by
means of a message, he will place the Re
publican party in a peculiar dilemma. 1t
viii either have to confess that the ma
tional treasury is in good condition and
the Democratic policy has not impaired
It's solvency. or else it will rave to wv
up to gross and unjustiiable extravaganza
at a time when the finances Of the coun-
try were depleted. This will make the job
of the platform carpenters at St. Louis
rather more trying than they expected

MAJOR mcKinIey,s silence.

The Newark Evening News with its
usual unerring affinity for the wrong
side, comes to the defense of Major Nc
Kinley, who. it thinks. is being shame
fully ill-used by the wicked New York
why New York in acknowledgements
pers. It says that /" during the last
weeks all sorts of Misrepresentation and
all varieties of intrigue have apparent
ly been employed in the endeavor to
place Mckinley in a false position and
to arouse prejudice and feeling against
him. Because he has adopted the pol
Icy of letting his record speak for him.
and because he does not volunteer to
draw up in advance of the convention
a platform for the Republican party
he has been accused of being cowardly
and double-faced."
Just where the Misrepresentation or
intrigue comes in f., we fail to see.
Intrigue" seems to involve secret ma
schination. There is assuredly no sec
recy about the demands made upon the
Ohio Buddha for a definition of his po-
sition. 1t has been about as frank and
outspoken as it has been universal. The
word Misrepresentation is equally mis-
applied. If there is any emisrepresenta-
ton" in the case, it is the 'smisrepresen-
tation', of the man by himself as found
in his record. Nobody has assumed to
say which side of the currency issue
Major Mckinley is on. What people
hav done is quote selections from his
own u~tterances upon various duties,
showing that at various times he has
been. or has seemed to be, on both sides.
There is not a particle of m~isrepresen-
tation about this. The speeches are
there with their dates and full accounts
of the circumstances of their delivery,
and their language is plain and explicit,
rather more so when they favor silver
than when they are for gold.

Major Mckinley for a plain statement
