Ruef's threat. Maybe, the judge
trembled a little in his ermine when
Ruef added: whenever a man, be

Maybe, Ruef was sure OF his
ground before he discharged his at

his guilt and swore to turn up the
rascals.

Birmingham, Ala. May 17.-Amid

Blessings Flow" the forty-seventh
annual general assembly of the Pres
byterian church In the United States
began ten days session in the First
Presbyterian church in this city yes
terday.
DR.. ]. B. Howerton, of Montreal,
N. c., was elected moderator. DR..
w. A. Alexander. of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, the stated clerk, called the
roll. He announced that eighty-four
Presbyteries were represented. The
election was regarded as the first
real test Of strength of the opposing
factions in the matter of closer rela-
tions with other branches of the
Presbyterian church. DR.. Howerton
is a recognized leader of those who
favor closer relations.
One of the most important ques-
tions which will come before the gen
eral assembly of the Southern Pres
byterian church which met here to-
! day will be that of closer relations
with other bodies holding the Pres
byterian system. OF the eighty-three
Presbyteries the action of eighty on
the proposed articles of agreement
for closer relations has been report
ed. Fifty approve the articles, TWEEN
ty-eight disapprove them, while two
have declined to act. The articles
provide for a general council to
which all matters of united interest
will be referred.

A SWEET scouNpREL.

San Francisco has been pointed
out with the finger of scorn and a
shake of the head, as a home Of
graft. san Francisco does not de-
serve such reproach. AS long as the
best specimens of political grafters
she can produce are bunglers and
amateurs of the type of Ruef and
Schmitz, San Francisco politics VIII
stand a monument to purity. Imag-
inc Cox, of Cincinnati; Murphy or
McCarren, or Raines, OF New YORK,
or one of the Pennsylvania gang, or
of the crowd at Louisville or Mem
phis. weeping tears in court, a la
Ruef, and pleading that his heart is
still pure, although he might have
been led into indiscretion for the
maintenance OF his machine. which
he had built up through years of self
sacrificing devotion to his high
ideals.
If ever there was a cheap scoun-
drel uncovered, it is Ruef. If ever
lies were uttered in court, he ut
tered them. 1t would have been quite
apropos of him to solemnly warn
young men against entering politics.
That is one of the prerogatives of the
reformer and the reformed, to warn
young men against political careers
in one breath, and then, in the next,
denounce citizens generally for not
taking more interest in politics. 1t
is a falsehood that politics ever de-
graded any man; but men like Ruef
have degraded politics.
Several weeks ago Mayor Schmitz,
labor leader. an example Of special
interests in politics, victim of the
machine, intimated that he might
turn states evidence. Then Ruef fore
stalled him, and came back in this
wise: 'I wanted to break away from
Schmitz before his election. | said,
81 am sick OF the whole thing and
want to get outl'"
Break away from Schmitz, for
sooth. Poor, weak schmitz was put
~ IN the hands of this political boss.
Consider the distance Ruef must
have fallen, If his ideals We're high
He pleads guilty to extorting money
from restaurant keepers.
Ruef does not say Schmitz Is gull
ty. Possibly Ruef is risking the
danger OF imprisonment to black
mail his confederates. He intimates
as much: whenever an innocent
man has been forced into corruption
against his will. I shall protect"
Even divine compassion could not
equal that Imagine an innocent
man forced into corruption against

If .Ruef meant a weak man drawn
into corruption against his natural
impulses, we shall accept the amend
ment, but his ideals OF mercy COM
port well with his political honesty
