.ovER 1000 MINISTER'S

The New York Sun prints a
statement credited to Bishop John
P. Newman Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, in which that dis
tinguished prelate briefly outlines
a surprising program. He is
quoted as saying:
I'm the conferences committed
to my charge there are something
over ] 900 ministers. / shall call
their attention to what | believe
is the plain duty Of the clergy, and
shall urge upon them the impor-
lance Of using all the influence
they possess, in the pulpit and
out, against the danger which
threatens our country, against the
possible triumph of Bryan and
Sewall and the election of a Con-
gress that is pledged to pass a free
silver coinage measure
| The Washington Post in com.
menting on the above made as
sertion says that Bishop Newman
being an ardent Republican, as
well as an earnest opponent ofthe
silver movement, he naturally de-
sirss the election of Mr.. Mckinley
and an anti>silyer House Of Rep
resentatives. II is altogether
probable that the fact Of Mr.. Me-
Kinley's connection with the
Methodist Church has little or
nothing to do with the Bishops
zeal for sound money. But the
plan Of campaign which the
Bishop proposes is injudicious and
dangerous. II will hurt the cause
that be desires to help, and help
the movement that he aims to
: hurt. Any concerted plan for
united action Of a church on one
side in a Presidential campaign is
so opposed to public sentiment in
this country that it cannot fail to
injure the party in whose aid ii is
undertaken.
The Springfield Republican
calls the attention of Mr.. Hanna
to the Bishops proposed move.
ment through his Thousand par.
sons" because it does mot want
the fight for gold Burchardized by
any indiscreet prelate." II says
that "such an act as the Bishop
proposes would be the acme Of
stupidity and laundering"
If the issue Of this campaign
were one Oh which there was no
room for honest differences of
opinion; if all good citizens, all
honest men, we're on one side, and
all the base, dishonest, disreputa-
bic elements Of society on the
other, it might be permissible for
Bishop Newman to array his more
than one thousand ministers on
one side and set them 10 preach
ing politics from their more than
one thousand pulpits. But that
is not the situation. The line be-
tween free coinage and the st.
Louis platform is not the line be-
tween honesty and iascalily, be-
tween the sheep and the goats, or
between patriots and traitors.
Good men, honest, God.fearingl
and law.abiding citizens are on
both sides. Church interference
in the discussion Of a political and
economic issue, as 10 which there
are honest differences Of opinion
in every community, will be help.
ful 70 no good end.
The Bishop had better get his
more than a thousand ministes"
and go TO fighting the devil, and
try 10 stop the downward rush Of
human souls 70 a endless torment
instead of fooling with politics.
When ministers Of The gospel get
down on a common level with the
professional politicians Il is time
10 call q halt and start over again.
