The Prospects in South Africa.

The feeling prevails in Wall street that the
great brace needed by the stock market is q
decisive British victoryoverthe Beers. Nor
can 1t be doubted that such triumph would
start n bull movement. 1t would dispel
the gloom in the London Stock Exchange
and create n buoyancy there which would
be felt here Immediately.
Are there any facts OF the military
situation in South Africa upon which to
base reasonable speculative hopes of such a
reversal Of the unvarying course OF the war

Storrs has occupied the pulpit. IL without a
pastor. The ~latter's recent resignation took
effect yesterday. ard although no special SER
vices marked DR.. Storrs's retirement. the pas.
tornte will be vacant until the committee ap.
pointed to choose his successor announces its
choice. This committee consists OF twenty
members OF the church and society. IL has so
far failed to decide on a successor for DR.. Storrs
and no name has yet been even mentioned for
the place.
Recently a rumor has been In circulation to
the effect that when the nam OF the new
pastor was finally announced IL would. be
found 10 be that Of n Presbyterian minister.
George 7. Stockwel. a deacon OF the church
and the chairman OF the committee. when seen
in regard TO this report yesterday said that
the committee had absolutely no particular
person in view as yet. but that the rumor con-
corning the selection OF a Presbyterian might
have arisen from the fact that the committee
has copsidered several ministers Of that de.
nomination along with others OF their own
denomination.
I'VE would prefer" said Mr.. stockwe,.. mot
to 60 outside OF our denomination providing
we car. get n man whom we consider suitable
and we'll fitted as pastor for the Church Of the
Pilgrims. At the same time IL would not be
uncommon for a Congregations church to call
a Presbyterian minister. This has been done
before by Congregational churches In this city.
some having even gone into other denomina.
tons for their pastors. There would be no
change in the church should IA Presbyterian be
decided upon. The points OF faith are gener-
ally the same and the difference Is simply In
the church organization and government. A
Presbyterian would have to agree to sever
his connections with the Presbytery, and
after coming here Of course he could not
he amenable TO Preshytery or Synod. We are
not bound by the limits OF the Congregational
Church Ia our selection Of a pastor. and the
wider the field the better man we may get. AT
the same time we are hoping that the best man
to be found IL one who has been n Congrega.
tionalist. SO far no one has been decided upon.
but a great many names have been men,
toned, among them being some Presbyterians.
We are going about the matter slowly. as In
each case we endeavor 10 find out the feelings
OF the other congregation and OF the man him
self. For the sake OF all concerned We have
decided to make no announcement OF our
choice until the matter has been finally set.
tied"
Mr.. Stockwell said that it was felt by all that
too long a DELAY in the selection OF a pastor
would hurt the church. and for that reason the
members OF the committee were DESTROYS that
the place be- filed as soon as possible. Moth
ing, he said. would be determined upon for
several weeks at the least.

Three features OF these 1890 elections are
noticeable-thefac act hat the more important
States, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Michigan particularly, were strongly
Republican,; the fact that, compared with
the corresponding election OF 1895, the
year preceding the last Presidential cleo
ton. the only State in which the Republican
plurality was increased was Massachusetts,.
and the fact that, on the basis OF the cleo
toral vote. the Republicans carried States
having ia Presidential electors and the
Democrats States having 25 only.
Moro than one-half Of the vote cast as
various" for other parties, Prohibition, So
%cialist, Middlc-of-the-Road Populist, Gold

was In favor Of JONES for Governor Of Ohio
or Brown for Governor Of Kentucky, as the
result of exceptional political conditions
which are not likely to be repeated in the

a Jew is a jew and that England is not completely
