The Experiences. OF Some v,ce-President..

The Experiences OF Some vice-Presidents.
To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: Some
weeks ago THE Sun contained notice OF the
life OF Hannibal Hamlln. An alluson was
made to Mr.. Hamlln and his proposed second
nomination for Vice President in 1864.
The Constitutional Convention Of 1857 did.
not conclude its sessions till after the next
meeting OF the Legislature. The evening that
IL finally adjourned. the president. Hon. Will
liam A. Wheeler. asked me to make him a fare

an orrn-sUpr1Y OF MINISTERS.
Striking statement by the Rev. Mngee Prath
Of the Congregational Church.

" tnS NouBTtBhttouhh ShuHohs
FroAs ne Hartford CouroWG
As tho inevitable result OF the continuance Of
the present state Of things Ia that large numbers o.
orwthy clergymen with their families are driven
TO starvation, and the whole status Of the minis
try lowered l think IL absolutely necessary that
the Christian public should have the fdcts before
them In spite Of the prevailing prosperity Dr.
Rice Of Boston, the best Informed man in tho
country on this question, has recently asserted,
that with the xcepton OF the few larger churches
the salaries paid 10 ministers have been unvcr-
sally reduced" And at this time of writing there
arc at least five hundred qualified clergymen in
tho Congregational Church anxious Tor work,
and the Church is so iull OF preachers that there
is no work for them 10 do. II figures are honestly
used they will not lie and the last year book of the
Church conclusively proves the statement
The very highest average OF employment given
by the Church 10 its clergy s 75 per cent OF the total
churches reported: one eiourth OF the number al
ways has been and is without pastoral help. And
] assert positively that there is no good hope Of
change for the better The Home Missionary So
ciety and the Missionary Association have done
and are doing their utmost to help needy churches,
and In spite Of a the last ten years gives us only
IA, per cent OF the churches which are able 70
support minister.
This is the cardinal fact in the discussion and
must be fairly faced in any honest attempt to seek
the truth. And as have said, this fact gives tho
Church Eve hundred surplus ministers to date So
that the public may have all the facts make the
following assertions as boldly as I can:
First-That IL is not possible for the theological
seminares TO introduce young men into the minis
try without driving out an equal number Of men
who arc In work.
Second-That there are q large number Of mon
OF the highest qualifications who cannot secure
a pastorate In existing conditions
Third-That the appeal for financial aid for
The seminaries on tho ground that an increase
Of educated ministers Is necessity at the present
time Is an attempt 10 obtain money under false
pretenccs
Fourth-That tho present policy Of purchasing
impecunious students TO flll the scminaries 10
an outrage ON decency and Justice II mon who
study law or medicine must pay for the privilege
and the best men do 1t and honor their profession
by their manliness why should divinity offer free
tuition. rooms, light and heat and even, II that
is not enough, lend or give money to destroy the
manlincss OF the students. whom many Of the best
workers tho church has are standing idle In
tho marketplace with empty pockets and aohing
hearts
II there Is one order Of mon who moro than
another should face all tho facts and thdr con-
sequences IL La tho Christian ministry. I ask
them TO do so In these premises.

THE BOUNDARY SNAG.

London Times Thinks That 1t May Yet
BE Satisfactorily Settled.
London, Feb 23.-rhe British foreign
office has issued a statement on the ad-
journment of the joint high commission
on Feb. -. The foreign office emphasizes
the fact that the Anglo commissioners
displayed the utmost friendliness ana
cordiality, although they were unable TO
agree on the complicated and diihcuit
problem of the Alaskan boundary.
The Tinaes, in its editorial comments
upon the statement OF the British foreign
office regarding the adjournment OF the
Joint high commission, does not take a
serious view of the matter. III says:
Even If the commissioners had agreed
the agreement would have been sub
mitted TO the new congress, entaillns
about equal delay. The Times believes
that neither country would quarrel over
the Alaskan dispute; and it is, therefore
still hopeful that some means may be
found OF resuming the negotiations and
arriving at satisfactory settlement.

If this be correct. ii shows that the evil

the French law only allows the court or
