BISHOP POTTER DEPENDS SALOONS

From the New York Herald. Bishop Potter justified the existence of the saloon before meeting of the Church Temperance Society in the Waldorf-Astoria last night. He told his brother bishops and the members of the church who formed his audience that saloons were social necessi- ty under existing conditions, and that they provided a reasonable and legitimate place of relaxation for the great majority of men, who, he pointed out could not afford to belong to clubs.
 Bishop Potter warned the society that the saloon would continue to exist until some thing equally attractive to laboring men was substituted for it. His unexpected de- fence of the saloon caused a sensation in the meeting.
 II may almost say that I appear here to- night with a retainer for the saloon,' said Bishop Potter. We may anathematize it, abuse it and deplore it, but it is social ne- cessity. I repeat that it is a social necessi- ty. l am sorry if l pain some of you when say it, but the saloon exists in New York because you and I, redeemed by the same Master, have given no better thing in its place.
 "There is need of relaxation with diver sion among the poorer classes of the city. It is as just and righteous want with them as are the diversions from which you and I have come tonight or to which we shall go tomorrow. The man who defends the saloon on the plea that 1t is the poor mans club speaks the truth. It is placed thickly along our streets because the men who cannot afford to pay $50 to belong to a club, as MT. Choate and I do, are more numerous than the men who can.
 "Who can wonder, in view of the hard and toisome life, and often uncomfortable home, of the laboring man, if after the days work he leaves his home, with it's crying children and untidy wife for this place where he finds light and warmth and often music? Unless we realize these con- ditions it is of no use to anathematize the saloon"
 Bishop Potter went on to say that the so- ciety was working along the right line in seeking to establish the Squirrel Inn at No E 131 Bowery, to provide funds for which the meeting was called. He cited the success of the Mills hotel as demonstration that rich men may invest their money in a pure Iy benevolent way and yet get fair return for it.
 .'The misery of our philanthropy" said said he, ''is that it is so divorced from busi ness principles"

 Fall River, January 14.-Operatives and manufacturers in this city and this whole section of country are in error in believing that cheap labor is the great menace held over northern cotton mills by those of the south.
