Election day, Nov. 4.
The Republican party builds; It never
destroys that which Is jrood. It has
built up American Industries; built up
American markets for goods;, built a
great navy; and Its latest authorized
achievement Is a canal of world-wide
use.
Decrease of Clergymen.
THE Baptist Teacher laments
the fact "that notwithstand
ing the large increase In
the church membership of
our denomination and In the number of
churches and theological seminaries
there Is a sad decrease in the number
of young men preparing for the min
istry." This is true of all or nearly
all churches. Tho harvest Is ripe and
the reapers are not on hand In suf
ficient numbers to garner it is its plaint.
This is an old dirge; as old as Chris
tianity itself, as we see by the para
phrase of the Biblical verse we have
Just quoted. It is not peculiar to our
own day or our own country. The
hierarchy of the state-endowed Church
of England are no less troubled by the
paucity of aspirants to the altar or
the pulpit. It is not that there are
fewer young men whose vocation leads
them to become preachers than in tho
past, but that the demand for them
owing to tho increase In population has
become more widespread and Insistent.
If we look around Scranton, we shall
find that places where there was no
church, or even the sign of a house
twenty years ago, has today become
densely populated, requiring the ser
vices of one or more preachers to meet
the spiritual necessities of a large
residential suburb. And so it is in
other cities, villages and rural com-"
inunitles. The insufficiency of the sup
ply of clergymen to the demands can
not, however, be attributed to a single
circumstance or course. We should
reasonably expect that with an increase
of population the ratio of young men
prepared to enter the service, of the
church would ordinarily keep pace.
Other professions are so crowded that
there is a tendency to asphyxiation in
tho struggle for a bare existence.
Those who regard the phenomenon
in a mundane light huvo a simple ex
planation. The ministry, they say, does
not offer the social and pecuniary in
ducements which are open to the stren
uous aspirant in secular affairs. There
Is small toleration for individualistic
development within the sanctuary. The
golden gates stand ajar for the pious,
the self-sacrificing clergyman; but
while hero below If he aspires to lead
he Is denounced as being ambitious,
worldly, unendurable, If ho Is uncon
ventional he is put down as a crank;
If he aspires to be a reformor he Is
looked upon us a busybody; If his
preaching Is original, he is railed at
us a sensational monger; if he Is hom
oletlc, he Is held up us a dullard. It
requires no ordinary self-abnegation to
become a clergyman In these days, we
are assured, and justly. The preacher
Is no longer accepted as u prophet. Ha
has to tako up his cross in a very lit
eral sense nud beur Us burden with
complafsancy. These are tho objective
characteristics of the clerical state; the
subjective can only bo realized in that
city ofltlip dreadful night, the con
science. Tho Baptist Teacher thinks thot tho
Jack of aBplrants to the ministry can
bo tracqd, to, tho, "ney theology" which
1h undermining tho faith of eligible
young men, or nt any rate deterring
them from aspiring to preach Chris
tianity us recorded in the Bible, when
Its revealed truths are assailed ,by
modern scholarship as myths, fabulous
tradition, perverted history, and sclen
tlllc ubsurdltles. Tliero may be some
thing In all t)ils; but we do not think
that it suniccs as an ultimate explana
tion. The foundations of Christian
faith are not disturbed, much less
shaken by' the" "new theology," Theio
has not been a century In tho nineteen
hundred Which have passed away Blnce
Christianity wus founded In which the
fundamental dogmas and doctrines
upon which It s based huvo not been
assailed for their Intrinsic Improbabil
ity and unhlatorlcal character. There
were higher criticism and destructive
critics cvei)..in the apostolic ages. If
fit, Thomas did not original.) it ho can
haidiy.be absolved from having antici
pated Its methods. The "ncv theology"
Is a very (feeble, and happily an Im
palpable variation of an "old theology"
Avhlcl through Its exposition saturated
the world with tho blood of countless
multitudes,
Let ub be Just to lite young men of
our own liny. Considering the multi
plicity of avocations that nro open to
them, we think our contemporary Is
unduly pessimistic In Itn survey of tho
numbers who arc culled nntl chosen 16
the ministry. Never was tho church
butter, more thoroughly or tinselllshly
served, nor those who servo It less gen
erously rewarded, If their labors are
measured by tho ordinary Btnndards of
modern life. In the church of this
country thorp Is practically no prefer
ment, no ecclesiastical benefices, no
Slmonlcnl presentations, no delectable
livings to ndjust tho balance between
the two worlds. Even In these few re
ligious bodies that maintain hterarchtnl
gradation It Is the 'office and not Its
emolument that endows Its Incumbent.
The Impelling motive which Induces
young men to enter the ranks of tho
clergy arc, wc believe, as widespread
and as fruitful now as they ever were.
It Is probable that little can be said
on part of the press or the law-abiding
citizen that will have a tendency to
restrain the element that hus been In
evidence at Duryca. of late. Tho man
who favors lawlessness, whether with
a "billy" In hand or In the net of
condemning by word of mouth tho
persons who seek to enjoy the right to
pursue a peaceful calling In the effort
to earn their dally bread, cannot be
affected In the least by anything that
The Tribune may say In reference to
the matter. To any fair-minded Indiv
idual, however, who read the report of
the riot at the Warnke washcry, which
appeared In these columns yesterday
morning, It must be apparent that It
1b about time for state authorities to
take cognizance of this hotbed of law
lessness. A more startling exhibition
of mob flcndlshness and persistence;
or a more flagrant example of neglect
of duty on the part of ofllclals supposed
to have the Interests of good order at
heart, haB probably never been wit
nessed than nt Duryen. We do not
presume to say 'who Is directly or in
directly responsible for the state of
affairs that has placed Duryea at the
mercy of a gang of lawbreakers that
for unbridled cruelty could scarcely be
excelled by the Malays of the Orient.
That such a condition, however, does
exist there can be no question. How
long Is it to be tolerated and allowed
to flourish and grow?
Civil Service Reform.
THE EXTENT to which civil
service reform, real and al
leged, has been carried in
the conduct of government
business is, we believe, Imperfectly
realized by most citizens. The pre
vailing idea is that the civil service,
while nominally largely under what Is
called the merit system, or free and
open competition with selection and
preferment depending on merit solely,
is yet accessible at will to the large
politician with a pull.
We will not say that this Idea Is
wholly Incorrect nor dispute that the
chairman of the committee on appro
priations, for example, if so inclined,
could get pretty much what he wanted
in patronage regardless of nominal
civil service regulations. But tho day
of the pull is fast disappearing. The
pull has to be bigger and stronger ev
ery year, to succeed in opposition to
civil service rules. Slowly but surely
the elected representative of the people
Is being stripped of his one-time pre
rogative of recommendation for em
ployment In the federal civil service
and the service put more and more on
the basis of tenure during efficiency
and good behavior and less and less on
an openly avowed "spoils" basis'
Some figures recently compiled by
Secretary Doyle of the Civil Service
commission are instructive in this con
nection. "The total number of positions
at present In the executive civil service
Is about SSCSSfi," writes Mr. Doyle, in
tho current issue, of Good Government.
"Of this number, -111,110 are classified
competitive, 11,760 classified excepted,
and 113,420 unclassified. In the depart
ments proper and the Independent of
fices In Washington there nre about 20,
078 positions, of which 16,423 are classi
fied competitive positions, 28G classified
excepted, 301 unclassified presidential,
and 2,978 below classification. About
21G.21S positions arc in branches of the
service outside of Washington, of
which 91,717 are classified competitive,
11.4S0 classified excepted, 1,111 unclassi
fied presidential and 108,040 below
classification.
"The 765 ofllclals of the consular ser
vice ore not Included In the above fig
ures. The 98 positions excepted In the
navy department In Washington nre
draftsmen; of the 90 excepted in tho in
terior department, 11 aro private secre
taries, 20 nre attorneys and assistant
attorneys, 60 aro special agents, inspec
tors, etc, in the land ofllce, and ii are
special pension examiners; of the 29
positions excepted In the department
of justice, 2 aro prlvato secretaries, 9
are examiners and 18 are attorneys; of
tho 34 excepted positions In tho depart
ment of agriculture 1! are prlvato secre
tailcs, 4 are student assistants and tho
remaining 28 are spcclul agents, ex
perts, Investigators, etc. Tho excepted
positions In the other departments and
offices In Washington aro all, or nearly
all, private secretaries or confidential
clerks.
"Of the 2,551 excepted positions out
side of Washington under the treasury
department, 650 tire cashiers, deputy
collectors, deputy navul officers, deputy
surveyors of customs, private secre
taries and positions In Alaska, etc., In
the customs servlco; 48 are Interpre
ters, etc., In tho Immigration service;
49 are chief clerks or prlvato secre
taries In the mint and ussuy service;
20 are shipping commissioners; and
1,855 are deputy collectors and store
keepers und gaugers In the Internal
revenue service; and 2 aro in the force
engaged upon the construction of pub
lic buildings,
''Paymasters' cleiks and certain em
ployes In military parks occupy the
gt cuter number of the 90 excepted po
sitions under the war department out
cldo of Washington. 'Of the 420 except
ed positions under tho navy 'depart-,
jnent outside of Washington nearly all
tire thoso of draftsmen, and special
mechanics und civilian assistant In
spectors of work and material. In the
postomco fervlec, assistant jiostrrmst
ors, finance clerksj cashiers and clerks
qualified as physicians, constitute al
most tho chtlre force of 970 excepted
employes. Of this number 900 arc as
sistant postmasters or assistants to
postmasters. Under the Interior de
parmont outside of Washington In ex
cepted positions nre 4,471 pension ex
amining Burgeons, 87 employes nt 4300
or less In tho Indian service, 1,972 In
dians, 82 temporary clerks in survey
ors' general and land ofllces, 56 finance
clerks nt Indlun agencies, and 18
clerks to act for pension agents at
pension agencies, and 32 positions In
tho Alaskan school service, tho remain
ing 68 positions being widely scattered.
In tho department of Justice, tho ex
cepted force of 4SS employes outsldo of
Washington Is composed mainly of as
sistant tittornoys, clerks to uttorncys
and deputy United States marshnls.
In the department of agriculture out
side of Washington the 172 excepted
positions nro principally experts and
spcclul ugents. Of the S6.473 unclassi
fied positions In the postofllce service,
over 75,000 are those of postmasters.
"tt appears from iho foregoing fig
ures that more than 9 per cent, of nil
classified positions arc excepted; that
of classified positions 'in Washington,
D. C, less than 1 per cent, aro ex
cepted; but that of classified positions
outside of Washington about 11 per
cent, nro excepted. Tho excepted posi
tions in tho executive civil service may
bo grouped as fiduciary positions, con
fidential positions, positions whose oc
cupants nre at times required to act as
tho head of on ofllce (for example, as
sistant postmasters), Isolated positions
whoso occupants ure compelled to take
independent action (for example, depu
ty collectors), positions whose occcu
panta are employed in a professional
capacity (ns assistant attorneys, pen
sion examining surgeons and physi
cians), shipping commissioners and
Indians employed in the Indian ser
vice. The reason assigned for except
ing positions from the operation of the
rules Is that the duties pertaining to
them are of such a character that the
qualifications of persons for appoint
ment cannot be adequately tested In
the manner and by the examinations
provided by the civil servlco rules."
Those who believe that written ex
aminations are better tests of fitness
for trust in public office than respon
sible personal endorsement have ev
ery reason 'to be gratified over the prog
ress made in civil service reform in
the generation that it has been under
agitation. Their next step should bo
to press for the correction of abuses in
the administration of tho civil service
on the competitive basis, so that the
time may come when politicians will
not think it worth while to try to
tunnel under the rules In their ef
forts to secure places for constituents
unwilling to take chances in open ex
amination. The action of the grand lodge of Elks
against street fairs speaks well for the
organization. It is quite apparent to
all who have any knowledge of the
order that It Is beneath the dignity of
the organization to stand sponsor for
enterprises in which the feature who
"eats 'em alive" is often among tho
least disreoutable.
Free trade, the road to the free soup
house, is tho only Issue the Democrats
seem to be able to agree upon, and that
has beaten them bo often and brought
ruin to the country beside, that the
most sanguine Democrat can see no
hope of success on such an Issue.
Tho Democrats declare thatthe tariff
and the trusts nre the chief political
issues. If thoy desire nny help In de
nouncing the trusts, the Republicans
will always be prepared to provide It.
By her vote Oregon said she wants no
hnul-down-the-flag policy. She means
also that she wants the tariff let alone;
wants the Republicans to "keep on let
ting It alone."
The most amusing basis for Demo
cratic hope this year Is the prediction
that storms and frosts will yet destroy
our growing crops. A party Is in its
death throes when It has to pray for
disaster.
Press reports Indicate that Mr. Bryan
Is determined to keep on declining the
presidential nomination until officially
Informed that his resignation has been
accepted.

A child born on this day will notice
that thorn is no fool Ilka un old fool,

Room at tho top la all right for the am

A first-class critic can always bo de

People who luld nxldo something for a

' Capital and labor disputes theio days
seem to have been intugurutcd solely for
the purposo of forcing "tho other party"
to make concessions.
Wo seldom acknowledge perfection save
In tho edso of the perfect fool,
DOING HIS BEST.
It somehow seems llttlo enough when
you say
That a fellow Is "doing his best."
It means that ho tolls and ho hopes day

That heaven will attend to the rest.
Ho Is Jostled bbUIo by tho hurrying crowd,
Unsought by tho lonely; forgot by the
proud.
Ho earns what be gets, and no moro Is
allowed
To the fellow who Is "doing his best."
But whenover a crisis arises, wo look
To tho man who in doing his best,
Tho prince with bin splendor, tho sage

Full oft fall to answer tho teat.
And when' t bote's i, home or a country

The man who ,vpt doing his best.
