THE COMPROMISE.


The compromise report, adopted at a
conference held in the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church late last night, was
signed by twenty-nine delegates. It sets
forth that the claim of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, against the
United States Government was a just
claim; that after many efforts to secure
the payment thereof the sum of $LSs,ooO
was accepted in full settlement, although
it was much less than the amount origi-
nally demanded. 1t says that in secur-
ing the payment of said sum by the Con-
gress of the United States certain MEM
bers of the Senate charged that mislead-
ing statements have been made to them
by representatives of the church. The
church," the resolution says, "deplores
the occasion for any criticism of the con-
duct of its representatives or its agents
in pressing the payment of this claim,
and in so far as such reports departed
from the highest standard of open. fair
and frank dealing. it disapproves and dis
claims their acts"
The Investigation by the United States
Senate and the communication winch
passed between members of the Senate
and the college of bishops and other mem
bers Of the church is then set forth IN
the shape of a bare statement OF facts,
the correspondence and the record being
clared that the resolution by the Senate,
adopted on February 81, 1902 was dis
tinct reply to the offer of Bishop Har-
grove, as secretary of the college Of blsh-
ops, to return the money if the Senate
believed that the passage Of the bill was
due to misleading statements.
I1xONERATE THE CHURCH.
Continuing. the resolution SAYS:
TN view of this record we arc unable
to see upon what. ground there can tie
based the contention that the CHURCH
should make a second offer and invoke
a second refusal of the government or
airy department thereof.
1.-THE report Of the committee and tia
resolution by the Senate in explicit tel ms
exonerate the church from all hlarne Or
ground OF criticism for anything Which
occurred in connection with the raSs2Se
OF the bill and is a Gear expression CT
opinion that there is no obligation on
the part of the churches to repay the
money to the government or TO make
further offer to do SO. But as the sum
of 500 500 was diverted from the churct
in the collection OF the claim anc this
diversion was unexpected ard Unknown
to the members of Congress who ago
Gated and voted FOR the appropriation 20
nav said claim. the church distinctly re-
nudiates all the acts Of concea lrent,
MEASUREMENT or unfairness, and pledges
itself to raise as soon as possible by a
general Offering from its members. &C
cording to such plan as the college OF
Rishops may devise, the sum of S1QD,SeG,
which shall be invested as permanent
fund. the interest from which shall be an
nuaiiy paid to the benefciaries. as con-
templated by some of the Senators and
representatives When they supported the
payment of the claim"

an arduous task to extinguish.
 Nor is public agitation necessary in America to redress grievances if griev- ances do exist whether such grievances have origin, as is more often the case from mere inadvertence or as it more rarely happens from malice afore- thought on the part of individual off, cials of the government. I say it ad- visedly as I am prepared to stand by what I here say. there is always sur cease from grievances, so far as cir cumstances may allow if it is sought through quiet and reasonable methods from the high representatives of the government. Let justice be done to America in no other country is there government so fair-minded, so inn partial. so willing to treat all classes with absolute justice, as that with which we are blessed in America.
 The logic of the situation in the presence of strange complications for church and state arising from change of sovereignty in the Philippine islands, pointed to a mutual conference be- tween the head of the church and q representative of the state as proper and dignified way to a final and peace full solution. Leo XIII saw this; Theodore Roose- welt saw this. Leo took the initia tive. proposed the conference and asked the government to expose frankly and thoroughly it's views, the president and his advisers accepted the proposal. What more could have been done by the administration to prove it's good will and sense of justice?"

Tillmanic Chivalry.

The chivalrous spirit Of the South Carolinians in general. and of the Till
 man family in particular, is percept- ibly waning. The other day Lieuten-
 ant Governor Jim" Tillman the nephew of his uncle" and an aspirant for the democratic nomination for gov ernCr, accused his rival of having in-
 tercepted his mail, but subsequently, declared that there must have been
 some mistake about it. A day or two ago this same Jim Tillman, while making a speech. was interrupted by one of his auditors. who craved his indulgence while he called him a ''liar.' and followed up this startling assertion by remarking that "he knew he was a liar" Incredible as it may seem. Jim Tillman showed no resent ment at this imputation other than was conveyed by the explanation that he could think of but one thing at a time: if his mind had been little more flexible. so to speak. he would have known that he had not been telling or rather writing-the truth about his reglect to pay a certain trifiing bill. This from the man who so hotly re- sented the affront put upon his uncle.

The Alabama republicans have ac- to be introduced by the constitution lately adopted, and have decided that negroes will not be admitted as dele gates to the forthcoming state conven- tion. This is the effect, at least, of the resolution that "only those shall be recognized and be permitted to par ticipate in the state and county con- ventions and be present at the meetings who are duly qualified voters under the new constitution of Alabama" The progress of this new white mans party will be noted with interest.

 Municipal Reform.

Recent discoveries of boodleism in northern and western cities are stimu- lating fresh interest in the problem Of that will minimize the power of coun- cilmen and other city officials to make common merchandise of the peoples rights and properties. Franchises, con- tracts and privileges are too often traded in for the private profit of the official, and things that should be sources of revenue to the public treas ury are sold to corporations for price and exploited in a spirit of pure plum der of the common people. It is easy enough to say that only honest men should be elected to important offices, but who would have questioned the honesty of those officials who have since been found derelict and de- deoauched? Doubtless the people be- lieved they were electing honest men when those since-developed rascals were chosen. It would be most dis couraging. indeed. to believe that the masses of Cleveland. St. Louis and Minneapolis deliberately elected known thieves for councilmen.
 The main obstruction to municipal good government is in the party admin istration Of it. The greatest reform needed in American cities is the di- rartisan politics and the placing of it upon the plane of a purely business transa ction. Yet another reform tha t is considered indispensable is the ref erendum in all matters of bonding and

The Evolution of a Leader.

The evolution of Big Bili' Devery as a leader of the New York democracy is an interesting feature of metropoli- tan politics of today. The files of the New York newspapers of this summer will be of value to the future historian of democracy. for they tell minutely from day to day the processes of the Devery evolution. It may seem to be a far cry from the condition of a dis graced police officer to the leadership of the chief democratic organization in the United States, but if indications go for anything, the Big Bilf' Devery of yesterday, the unlettered policeman, will be the Hon. William s. Devery of tomorrow, the boss of TaTmany hail. and arbiter of presidential nominations. The time appears to be ripe for the coming of a new boss. Croker is re- hold on the scepter, to be sure, but Croker is growing old, and many of his former followers are now in mutiny. At most it will not be many years be- fore he must step aside for another. That he should choose Devery for his ultimate successor or at least make no opposition to the Devery programme, is not improbable. The evolution of Croker himself was as full of surprises. Within a few years the man known as Dick Croker, the leader of a gang of ward toughs, became the boss of Tam many hall, a boss of the democracy of the United States, and is today the Honorable Richard Croker, millionaire and English country gentleman.
 Devery begins with wealth. The re- spectable element of New York, by ] fusion of all the reform forces, was able last year to elect Seth Low mayol and oust Devery from power as head of the police force, but when he retired he took with him the savings" iron his salary, estimated at something likt million. And he resents the imputa. tion that his present activity in poll. tics is "backed'' by the money of any. body else. He has begun his campaign for supremacy by seeking the leader ship of the Ninth district, and the dis patches a few days ago told how h, had given a picnic on the water tt twenty thousand women and childrel of his district. A night or two late at a meeting of his followers he thu disposed of the rumor that the bos gambler of the city was putting up fo the expenses of the Devery boom
 That's a damn lie,' he said. But, he added, these dead ones up her probably sprung that gag. Like tn squealing pigs that have been jabbe; with knife they know they're deat ones and the only thing left for then to do is to make a noise. When a fel lows in politics I suppose he must ex pect to have few of them Mercy lette gags sprung, but let 'em spring 'en I have them skinned to death. Bet ting men say I'm a l to shot. and I am, the poor people of this distric will get all that's coming to them.'' With an exceptionally good knowl edge of human nature, an originalit . of a pleasing sort, unbounded ambitio and an abundance of cash, Devery ma

Mrs. Sarah Haines.

Mrs. Sarah Haines, whose death oc-
cured. Wednesday evening, had been
an honored resident of this city for over
80 years. "A sunny, delightfully."- agree
able. disposition, was responsible for
many sterling attributes which relatives
and friends tenderly recall. Her long
residence in the city identified her with
the home and church interests. and her
close adaptation to matters of current
occurrence in declining years, plainly
revealed the remarkable elements of a
vigorous personality. Her death was
peaceful. With Bible in hand she sat
down to read after retiring to her room.
and evidently relapsed in a few mo-
ments into the last sleep, without pain
or suffering.
Mrs. Haines is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. William III. Clearwater
of this city. Mrs. Charles d. Howard of
Milwaukee. and one son. john III.
Haines of Rockland. The funeral will
be later announced.
