Mr.. George Walter. the turnmaster,

Mayor Hoos agreeably surprised the
Democratic party and the public by tax
ing, at the eleventh hour, the counsel OF
experienced political leaders and COM
pletely revising his slate The result is
an excellent set of appointments, men
who d honor alike to the Democracy and
the Mayor.
The list. as 1t stands, is a much better
one than the original list, either of the
Mayor or Of the Democratic Executive
Committee. In compromising, the up
grade was taken instead of the down
grade. This, of course, we say without
prejudice to Individual merits. Some of
the men on the party slate were up to
any standard. and so were some of those
originally chosen by Mr.. Hoos. The inn
provement we speak of is in the aggre-
gate.
Hoos has desired to act eoi1scientiously,
and his final compliance will the advice
OF certain party leaders shows that he is
not unmindful of the interests of the
party which has honored him with its
confidence. AS the situation exists today,
we feel that the Democracy of Jersey
SCity has been through a crisis, and has
come out of 1t most HAPPILY. The result
Is due to the graceful concession of the
Mayor, to the unseifsh and truly Demo-
cratic conduct of Joh p Feeney and to
he wise reserve of Robert Davis. the
-ts leader
We congratulate Mayor Hoos on his APP
pointments as a whole. We are happy to
be able to do SO with sincerity and cor
diality. We also congratulate the city
upon having got as good a set officers as
ever had charge of It's interests.

A PASTORLESS CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Hcck,s Place Cannot Be
FILLED for 1--WE Months.

Rev. John Heck, pastor of st. Johns
Lutheran Church., Third and Bloomfield
streets, Hoboken, will preach his fare
well sermon next Sunday, and announce
to the congregation his plans for the fu-
ture.
Rev. M. Heck resigned some months
ago, owing to differences With several
members Of his congregation over the
membership Of certain Of his flock in Sc
cret organizations. which the rules OF the
Missouri Synod, with which he is aff1li-
ated. prohibit.
1t was discovered Yesterday that the
church will be left without a~pastor when
Mr.. Heck goes away. When the ongre-
cation selected Rev. Mr.. Frey of Canarsie,
L. T.. as his successor, an error was made
In the application to the Missouri Synod,
which rejected 1t. What the error was
could not be learned. Another meeting of
the congregation will be called and q new
application forwarded. 1t Is thought that
the church will be. closed about two
months after Rev. Mr.. Heck goes away,
as the Synod will not meet sooner and
Rev. M. Frey cannot act until II grants
him permission.
