BANKER ST. JOHN RESIGNS.


New York, July a-William P. St
John, president Of the Mercantile ma.
tional bank, has resigned his position.
Mr.. st. John has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the free coin
age Of silver, and in this he has been at
variance with the directors of the
bank. The feeling in banking circles
against the advocacy Of free silver by
abank president has been very strong,
and 1t resulted in making Mr.. ST.
Johns relations with his business col
leagues very unpleasant

Edward Lauterbach of New York,
Seems to Lean That Way.
New York. Oct. 16-Chairman Edward
Lauterbaeh of the Republican county
committee is being severely criticized
for an utterance made in a public
speech before the Union Republican
club night before last. He said:
You are fighting today for just as
important a principle as did those
brave men in 1851. But it is a bIoodIess
fight. No blood will be shed-at least
not yet, but if they attempt to subvert
your supreme court, if they should sue
coed, by any chance, in foisting upon
you these horrible Notwithstanding
tic, sociahstic and commpnistic-whic
that platform, adopted by this Populis-
tic brood, contains, we viii not abide
by that decision"
So pressing became the censure OF
Mr.. Lauterbach that today he issued
the following:
7 believe that we are bound by the
terms Of the constitution and all its
principles and provisions. Whatever
the result Of the election may be, it is
the duty Of every section of the country
and Of every state, however calling it
may be, to submit to its fat. The civil

that implies that each state is bound
to abide by the result of a constitution

Mr.. MOODY ALARMED.

New York, Oct. 16-Evangelist Dwight
L. Moody, who is speaking daily at the
meeting of the Christian Missionary
Alliance said today that the ministers
should remember that their ministra-
tons are chiefly spiritual.
IF the minister he said, at the
afternoon meeting, lis full of the
Scriptures, he is full of the Holy Spirit.
But if he is constantly talking about
capital and labor and the questions OF
the day. he cannot have much of this
spirit"
At the evening meeting Mr.. Moody
asked the congregation to offer a silent
prayer for the welfare Of the country.
Never since the time of the war; he
said. has this country so needed the
earnest support Of all Christians to
pray for peace. The trouble that is
springing up between the two political
parties cannot be seen 50 easily here in
the east, but out in the west. where I
have been twice during the past month,
it is assuming a very alarming aspect !"
