ANOTHER APPEAL FOR WKiNE.

Another effort is To be made to secure the par
don of John Y. McKane, and IL the current re-
ports can be trusted 1t will be a more strenuous
effort than any hitherto put forth in behalf OF
the deposed boss" OF Gravesend. There will
be, II is said, special endeavor to bring social
influence TO bear. and in general TO arouse SYM
patty for an unfortunate feOw-mortal who has
been more sinned against than SHINING. Ii is
even affirmed that an appeal will be made 10
Mr. Edward NJ. Shepard who as prosecutor was
largely instrumental in having McKane sent TO
Sing Sing, to induce him to sign the petition for
pardon. or, at any rate, TO ntcrposc no objection
in case Mr.. Morton is inclined to lend willing
ear to his petitioners. 1t will be asserted, so
we are informed, that Mcliane was convicted Of
crimes he did not commit; that the punishment
imposed on him was too severe; that he was
"raroaded" to prison; that he has been a model
prisoner; that his health Is breaking down. that
he was a devoted husband and father, and bis
family are in need Of his personal care and sup
port.

difficulty is how 10 overcome the opposition or
Indifference Of nOn.churchgOers. Even the Ro-
man Catholic Church, which is more highly or
ganized than any Protestant church, ana can
use appeals that Professionalism does not recog-
pize as Scriptural or legitimate, Is not able to
hold all its members, or recover those who nave
strayed away But one thing is certain. If
Christianity is to hold New-York at ALL it Will
have TO give over working at cross purposes

THE DUTY OF THE PULPIT.

During the War for the Union patriotic clergy
men did not need to be reminded that the de-
fence of their country was moral issue. which
not only might be but ought TO be preached
from their pulpits. 1t is satisfaction to learn
from week to week that they recognize in the
present electoral contest combat between right
and wrong, in which every consideration grow
ing out Of their relations to society requires them
to take part. They do not ask permission to
speak for National honesty and order. nor apollo
gize for bringing politics into the pulpit. Indeed,
in the true sense it is not question of politics
which so many Of them are discussing before
their people. The most rigid construction of
Christian minister's limitations has never ex-
cluded the Eighth Commandment and the Golden
Rule from the list of appropriate texts. The lat
ter includes the former in its comprehensive pre-
cept, but the more specific mandate Is first sug-
gested by the Chicago platform. To justify part
payment as the full discharge Of a debt is to
justify robbery, and engraft an ame1dment on
the Decaogue. 1t is precisely that Which po-
litcal party deliberately proposed In July and
hopes to accomplish IN November. To arouse
envy and hatred, to plead oppression and urge
reprisals, are not to do unto others as you would
have them to do unto you. But that Is the abom-
Unable doctrine which Bryan is seeking to incul-

IS TT NOf

TO Judge from what is often said and heard
in these days, a multitude OF persons who have
lived long in New-York are convinced that the
city has recently undergone remarkable ana
dsagreeable metamOrphosis. Familiar as they
are with metropolitan life, or as they nave
thought themselves TO be, they are bewildered
and almost appalled, by the conditions which
surround them. I heir friends and the houses
they know may not have changed significantly,
but the rush and roar have increased to an
amazing extent; have been doubled 1t seems 10
