help grows more and more pitiful. The
petty little twaddle which is kept up in
the political columns Of the two organs
grows stale even to the point of Offensive
ness.
Even the diversion which might have
been expected from Mr. f. c. schfa-
nann's ingenious offer of reward for the
discovery of illegal voting in the Fourth
ward affords no relief. That is purely a
ward proposition, which cannot be
stretched far enough without serious
fracture to cover the fake claim which
was heard Immediately after the pri-
maries, about illegal voting.
T h clio is of course anxious to
see a good lively campaign, fought out on
purely public questions. The candidates

REFORMERS AND THE LIQUOR
LAW.

The progress of events in Greater New
York since the advent of Repub-
lican reform in city affairs has
furnished much amusement to in
terested observers. The rule has
been for the new head of given de-
partment, representing reform, to insist
on an appropriation greatly in excess OF
that found sufficient by his Tammany
predecessor. In some cases twice as
much has been demanded by the reform
official. Gambling continues. The liquor
law, which all reformers are determined
to enforce to the letter when they are
candidates for Office, and never enforce
when they are in office, is being openly
and VIGOROUSLY violated. The complaint
is heard on all sides, and finds expression
and apology in the reform papers, that
the evils which brought about the latest
downfall of Tammany are more rampant
than ever before. The streets are less
clean; there is more drunkenness on the
Sabbath; crime is more prevalent, and
public expenses are greater in every direc-
ton.
In view of this state of things it is
amusing to read the news Dispatch which
may be found printed elsewhere, telling
about the policemen Of a given precinct
uniting to enforce the Sunday law, and
setting at defiance the certain penalty,
in case any one of them had acted on his
own account, of being transferred to
less desirable beat. Of course there has
been a good deal of talk about enforcing
the Sunday closing law in New York,
and nothing whatever but talk Hence
the saloons have run as they always ran
on Sundays, with closed doors and drawn
blinds. Any attempts made to close them
by individual policemen have, under the
Republican reformers, as under Tam
many, been followed by the punishment
of the adventurous policeman
The action Of the police in that precinct
may become general. and the Sunday
liquor law be enforced as the Republican
reformers promised one set of electors it
would be enforced, while promising an
other set that it would not. The result
of this will be that the reformers must
either fish or cut bait The Raines ho-
cel must be Endorsed by the Republican
reformers and the saloons closed, or else
both remain open on Sunday, and the
whole matter of the reformer's attitude
on the Sunday closing business be
acknowledged as an open farce
Whatever the outcome may be, there
is certain to be another demonstration,
viz, that the politician who tries to get
into office by promising to stop the Sun
day liquor traffic in the present condition.

larger cities of the country is a fraud

MR. RICHrER,s ExCoMMUN1c 4rroN

HR. RICHTER'S EXCOMMUNIC 4TTON
The action Of the Minneapolis
presbytery of the Presbyterian church
toward the Rev Louis Richter will cause
a good deal of surprise among non-Pres-
byterians, and especially among laymen
outside the fold of that church. The SEN
tence of communication places it's OBJ
ject wholly outside of the pale of the
church, depriving him not only of his
standing as one of its minister's but end
ing even his membership.
The public would look for such SEN
tence in case the most serious errors of
teaching, accompanied by scandal to the
church, had been committed by the
clergyman. But in this case the accused
seems to have been charged with nothing
more serious than the propagation of doc
trines which We're at variance with the
policy of prohibition and total abstinence.
Laymen cannot naturally be expected
to understand the action of the church
authority in such a case as this, SO as to
be able to pass upon such action in all
cases with any too much certainty. Yet
few who read the sentence in this case
will hesitate to express the belief that
for the offense charged the punishment
seems somewhat disproportioned. No
doubt many members of the PRESBYTERIAN
faith drink intoxicants and oppose the
policy of prohibition without affecting
their standing in the church, certainly
without involving their dismissal from
church membership. No one outside the
Presbyterian church has ever Identified
the doctrine of the total prohibition If

magnificent home for the organization

to be furnished largely by business men
of the city. Opportunity for subscriptions
was offered and in few minutes 81 900

quarters Much more will be forthcom-

it is believed, put into the hands OF

hanging over the association since the
panic of 1893, and fashion reality out of
their dream of a fuzzy equipped permanent
home.

NIELs GRON ON THE STAND.
Whole story of Danish West indies
Sale Is Told.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The investi-
cation of the charges made in connection
with the Danish West Indies purchase
was begun today before the special
committee appointed by Speaker Hender-
son. Beside the members of the com
mlttee there was present Niels GrOn, who
brought the charges to the attention of
representative Richardson, and quite a
number of interested spectators.
Mr.. Gron was the first witness sworn
by Chairman DalZeH. The witness spoke
in English. He said that in February last
persons in Copenhagen who opposed the
transfer of the Danish West Indies to the
United States, conferred with him and
brought to his attention the Christm
report
Chairman DalzelI asked who these
persons were. The witness said they were
members OF the Danish upper house, but
ne did not think it proper to give their
names.
Mr.. Gron said he was at present the
representative in this country of these
prisons.
Mr. Gron gave way temporarily to Rep
resentative Alexander, of Buffalo, who
wished to make a complete disclaimer
of any knowledge of Christmas or the
Danish transaction.
Mr.. Alexander said he had never seen
Christmas, had never spoken to anyone
in or out of congress as to the Danish
treaty, and had never heard it discussed
at any time or place by any one until
after the recent presentation of the mat
ter to the house.
Grosvenor Declines to Act.
Continuing his statement, Mr.. Gron
explained how the Danish parties oppos-
ing sale of the islands had persuaded
him TO come to Washington and place
the Christmas report before congress
and the public, when the facts would be-
come known. He told of having secured
a letter of Introduction to Representative

The election of Mueller by so small a

was given out that j. H. Block had pass

They expressed regret that any charges

reason why the sale Of the islands should
not proceed. Senator Cullom, as chair
man of the committee on foreign rela-

careful consideration, and that there was
general agreement to the effect that the
United States, from both a strategic and
economic standpoint, had done well In
acquiring them. Senator Lodge, also OF

Senator Money spoke in the same vein

saw no objection to the passage Of the
resolutions, as they would only serve to
delay the matter for a brief time in
case the charges should prove to be
without foundation, while if they were
well founded much good might be accom-
plished by delay. Senator Bacon closed
the incident by saying that he would not
press the resolution in view of the ex-
pressions of so many senators, and in
consequence of this announcement the
senate adjourned without taking action.
