PASTOR IN JAIL.
Embedded a Mortgage on the Church
 Property

NEWTON, Kan, July 17-Rev. H. Mueller, pastor of the German Evan gelical St. Emanuel church, at this place, has been committed to jail in de- fault of $500 bond. He is charged with embedding mortgage upon the church property. Rev. Mueller became pastor of the church here about two years ago, and there has been much trouble between him and his flock ever since He communicated the larger portion of his congregation, and at tempted to move the church building. This was prevented by injunction pro ceedings He sued the church direct ors for his salary at $10 sermon, and obtained judgment for about $1,200
 He obtained possession of the mort gage on the church, by what is claimed to have been an unfair method, and released the mortgage without paying it, so that his claim would be first against the property. It is for this action that he was arrested.

BOSTON FAIR PLAY.

The Post, of Boston, occupies such an unique position for fairness com baring it with the eastern papers gen rally, that it is pleasure to copy one bf it's latest editorial utterances anent 1 he free coinage plank. It says: ''It is hardly necessary to state that The Post does not like the free silver koinage plank of the Chicago conven- lion.
 '"The Post has opposed that plank to the best of its ability, because it has Ysincerely believed that it is inimical Q the welfare of the working masses Vof New England and to the general business interests of the country.
 "The Post has not viewed this mat ter from the standpoint of Wall street or State street. It has no utilization with the strictly financial world. It believes the wealth of the country is amply able to look out for itself. and that it undoubtedly will do so in the present emergency.
 "How will free silver affect the in- terests of the toiling masses of New England is the test to which hthis paper has steadfastly put the free silver proposition. We have been un- able to see that it would have any other than most disastrous effect. Il ' may help the farmers of the west and south in some respects, but we do not believe that the wage earners of New England would be satisfied to receive , their wages in deprecated currency ol 4 that the hundreds of thousands who have savings bank deposits on interes in the insurance and fraternal associa tions would be benefited by scaling down the value of their deposits. poll cies and memberships.
 "For these, with other reasons, Th Post has believed and still believe that the free silver plank is a mistake
