HOME MISSIONS SUFFER
The New York Presbyterian Board Is
Short of Funds-LOcal Work Must
Be Curtailed,

The New York Presbyterian Board Is
Short of Funds-Local Work Must
Be Curtaiied.
The Presby byterian Chinese and Japanese
Mission work in this City, as we'll as in
Portland, is likely to be considerably re-
stricted for lack OF funds.
The aews that the mission board in New
York had decided that retren chment must
be made In The Pacific Coast work was an
nounced at the monthly meeting of the
Woman's Occidental Board and was re-
ceIved with good deal of regret. The
New York board has decided to retrench
on home mission work rather than on for
ign missions, as the foreign missionaries
are already in the field, far from their
country and friends, and the nOn-arrival
of their salaries would mean actual want
and destitution to them.
The members of the Occidental Board
state that cutting down the expense OF
the home mission work may entail some
discomfort on the workers, but no actual
want.
Five thousand dollars is the sum which
the New York board has decided must be
retrenched on coast work. The local mis-
sions which will be hampered are the
Presbyte Chinese Mission at 92O Sac
ramento street, Rev. DIR. Condit's work
in connection with the Chinese Presbyte-
rian Church, on Stock ton street and DR..
Sturgis' Japanese Mission on Haight
street.

DEATH WAS NEAR HIM.
A Failing Pane of Glass Narrowly Es-
capes Striking City Hall Ele-
yatOr ODeratOr

One of the men who operates an elevator
at the new City Hall had a narrow escape
from death yesterday and in most
peculiar manner. The workmen who are
engaged on the roof were making some
alterations in the skylight just above
the elevator near the Larkin street wing
when a huge pane of glass a quarter
OF an inch thick fell down the elevator
shaft.
The elevator man was standing in the
doorway of mis- cage at the second floor
when he heard crash and big piece Of
glass came down through the narrow
space between the cage and the wall mar
rowly missing his head and dashing to
pieces on the floor of the well.
Had it struck him it would doubtless
have inflicted fatal wound as the frag-
ment weighed several pounds and had
sharp edges where it had been fractured
before reaching the cage.

The Supreme Court has sustained the judg-
ment of the Superior Court of San Francisco in
the case Of Nora Russell, minor, by her
guardian, against the Pacific Can Company.
This company is engaged in making CANS and
other articles. Nora Russell was one OF its
employees. and she was severely injured by hot
water and steam from an exhaust-pipe In
the Superior Court she OBJ tained damages for
$500, the award being made upon the
ground OF neglect on the part of the company
to protect its employees. The corporation ap-
pealed from the judgment and from the order
denying q new trial. The Supreme Court

by the lower court and refused to grant ap-

ApnIL q. 1897.

Tx Governor Brown, in reply to
an inquiry as to whether he could
offer any suggestions looking to
the reorganization Of the democrat
ic party and it's possible success in
the coming campaign, stated that
he had read with considerable in
tcrcst many Of the interviews that
had appeared in che columns Of
the public press as to the necessity
Of recognizing the democratic par
ty Of Maryland, and the question
Of reorganization seemed to be Civ
ing the republican leaders as well
considerable thought
Iou may reorganizo once and
again, and when all Is said and
done YOU will have AN organization

THE CRISIS or 1898.
The crisis in the fall Of 1895 in
Maryland was but a elimination of
a natural resistance on the part Of
the rank and file Of the democratic
party against the too frequent GUS
tom of all leaders of political par
ties to select the nominees and an
pointccs behind closed doors, with
out gong INTO the open held and

on o ullIerenb line anu naturally
have the support Of this class Of in
voters, who did not in
tend to place Maryland permanent
ly under republican control.
Unfortunately, they did not rea.
lie their strength, and instead oil
serving a rebuke or chastising the
leadership, the democratic party
was routed, horse, foot and dra-
goons, and very large percentage
of Independent voters regretted the
as soon as the result
was known.
The lines of battle were so drawn
in the presidential campaign (Which
term rather business mems
meeting than a partisan election)
as to absolutely bar the democratic
party in Maryland from any oppor-
tunity Of reuniting it's forces.
WHAT TWO YEARS HAVE SHOWN.
The record Of the dominant po-
litical party in this State for the
past twenty-five years, with all its
mistakes, would far outstrip the
two yo~.a' rocord OF the present
party,ln power in the State Of na
ryland.
The conditions, financial and
otherwise, that concern the public
affairs Of our metropolis and the
State at large are fully abreast with
any great municipality Of any Of
orr sister States that make up the
compact
1t must be apparent to every I'M
prcjudiced man, be be democrat or
republican, that the very methods
adopted by our leaders and con
demned by the independent vote
in the fall Of 1895 are being fol-
lowed by the republican party Of
Maryland today. And / do not
believe that the independent press
or the independent voters wish to
place itself or themselves in a POI
sition to defend the political mani
pulations that now prevail in Che
distribution Of honors and patron
age by the present dominant party.
And it seems to me that il the cf-
fort was trolv to reform our meth
dds we should continue Ia reform
until methods are improved owit.
WHAT CONSISTENCY DEMANDS.
AS tho independent yotcrana the
independent press denounced tho
democratic Leadership IN the fa}l Of
1896, TO be consistent they must
necessarily place themselves in "a
position antagonists TO the meth
DDS now being adopted bv the OPP.

Your cousin Jerry Simpson gave Big
Bully Reed another beautiful dressing
down in the House the other day. Jerry
is becoming noted and expert at this
sort of thing. The lively and pertina-
cious Kansan told the bullying tyrant
10 his face that in refusing TO comply
with the rules Of the House, which COM
handed him to appoint the committees,
he was a usurper. a revoluuonist, a
malefactor and criminal Cousin Jerry,
who by the way. has tongue of his
own and knows how to handle it, rubbed
II in on the pufed-up bully from Maine
IN such an extent that Reed, red in
the face and on the verge Of bursting
with the venom and hate that possessed
him was compelled 70 take cowardly
refuge behind the skirts Of his party
manikins on the Republican side Of the
House and put the question as to wheth-
or or not the House wanted 10 have
the committees appointed and to go on
with the pile Of business waiting 1t.
knowing full we'll that not one Of his
manikins would dare oppose his tyran-
nical Will and being assured Of the sup
mort Of Bailey. the alleged Democratic
leader. who seems TO think # the part
Of political wisdom 10 aid and abet Reed
in his do-nothing policy. Bailey, by the
way. is a good deal Of stuffed leader;
he Is not half the fighter or tactician
that Jerry simpson is. and. If he be not
careful. will find himSeltwithout party
10 lead when the time shall come 70
displav his ability in that connection.
At any rate Big Bully Reed received
the expected support Of his own cring-
Ing manikins and that Of the mistaken
Bailey thrown in for good measure, aud
so. the House in the most contemplate
and cowardly manner stultifed Itself,
chloroformed its conscience and honest
wishes and said that, Of course. Big
Bully Reed-he who has 50 many nice.
juicy committee appointments 10 give
out when the time ComeS-waS right in
his revolutionary work Of trampling on
the House law commanding him 10 ap-
point the committees. right in his Grim
inal work q forcing the House 10 re-
main idle in the face Of much pressing
business. which a restless public de-
rands shall be attended 10. right in in
terposinS his bullying spirit in the way
Of legislation, declaring that nothing
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-05-07

shall be done till he is ready, regard
less of the House rules.
II was a pitiful exhibition the House
gave of subjugation to the will of a
lawless tyrant. who ought to be deposed
from the Speakership and expelled from
Congress. For Reed is nothing but a
legislative malefactor, as Simpson bold
" branded him.
Reed won by the aid of the subser-
Went vote which dared not oppose him,
but. really. it was a triumph for Simp-
son. whose hot shot forced the big bully
from his high and mighty position to
a pitiful hiding place behind the skirts
of his pitiful following of lickspittles
on the floor. For once Reeds caustic,
bitter Wit failed him; he had no defen-
sive argument to offer, nothing TO say;
his only response was his appeal to the
brute voting strength of his cowardly
partisans. who dare not say that Reed
doesn't own them body and soul.
Big Bully Reed was wrong; he knew
it: the House knew it. Jerry Simpson
was right: Reed knew it, the House
knew it: the whole country knows it
and will so signify the next time it has
an opportunity.
