A THEOLOGICAL DINNER.

1t is not often that SO eminent gathering of
theologlans is held in this city as that assem-
bied by Dominic William G. Whitney at the
Metropolitan Club the other night. Professor
f. Ellery Anderson, that great authority on the
Apocalypse and pOstpOner Of the millennium,
was there. DIR. Roswell p. Flower the author
of that widely quoted book on swearing in pub
lie station, was present. The Right Rev. Hugh
]. Grant, formerly Bishop Of Tammany Hall,
and the Rev. William f. Sheehan, ex-chaplain
Of the State Senate. and many other eminent d.
vines graced the occasion. In view of the moral
issues involved In the coming campaign, and the
habit Of clprgymen Of discussing governmental
problems. IT natural TO assume that the
theologians talked over the municipal situation
but Dr. Flower assured the reporters: I'VE
didn't talk any more politics than we did re-
'ligion. We did discuss the new Egyptian ques

sensational preaching it is relief to know that
at least half Of the time Of religious teachers

posed which causes Sugar stock to rise higher
than 1t has ever been before. This is case IN
which fidelity TO the cause and the party may
properly outweigh individual Judgment, for the
obvious reason that any harm that can result
to a single industry can be only temporary, and
can be cured whenever 1t appears by short
special act, while harm to all other industries
to the cause of Protection and to the party upon
which Protection must depend would IN It's
nature be lasting and could not be thus speedily
cured. Those members of either house who feel
that their sense Of duty or their sober Judgment
requires a decision not agreeable TO the Sugar
interest may in this case rest assured that the!
do not thereby endanger the passage Of the bill.
If there is anything certain 1t is that the Sugar
interest will neither advise nor within its in
huence permit the defeat OF an increase OF duty
on raw sugar which, by rendering more yail-
able half years stock on hand. will practically
put some millions into the treasury OF the re-
fning company.

cant compared with the consumption In East
ern States or with the receipts Of several million
tons AT Boston alone from Atlantic ports OF this
country. 1t Is not by increased importation OF
cool that the great industry Of West Virginia
and the Central States has been most affected.
The root of trouble has been the prostration
Of Eastern industries by means OF reduction
Of duty intended to subject them to greater for
egn competition. This has brought about so
great decrease In the consumption OF coal In
manufacture. and consequently in Eastern de-
mand that the biruminous coal producers have
been forced to compete more sharply with others
In the Western States. Instead Of sending
several million tons to Eastern States. these
producers in the vlrginias, Maryland and Penn
sy,yania have been compelled to seek consump-
ton elsewhere, and directly in consequence OF
the prostration Of Eastern Industries and de-
crease In the Eastern demand for their prod
nets Ont of this unnatural state of things 1t
has come to pass that the miners Of the bitumi-
nous producing States have been cutting each

of demand and by destructive competition The
depression of prices has caused the reduction III

consequences Of every injury to other branches
remote in locality and often apparently un-
connected In interest, 1.-THE invasion OF home
markets by foreign competition would far
more rarely cause disaster But when the
manufacturers Of Eastern States are over
whemed by such invasion. the blow re-
acts at once upon the woogrowers OF the
West and the cotton-growers OF the South
whose products are depressed unless they hnd
an active market in Eastern mills; upon wheat
and cattle and hog producers and provision
packers Of the West, whose products meet

great manufacturing States is plnched, and upon
the coal producers Of the Central Atlantic States

they then have to meet far greater competition
