There Is no doubt hut what Mr. McLain
has the requisite ability to acceptably
fill the office he seeks. There are a few
things he must, of necessity, have before
he pets iK-rmisslon to occupy tho cov
eted seat In tho halls of Congress. Tho
first of these is tho nomination and then
follows the requirements of the political
law of having enough votes at the gen
eral election to pronounce him as tho
chosen ono for tho position.
The recent utterances of llev. Dr.
Rainsford, rector of ono of tho leading
Protestant Episcopal churches of New
York, In regard to tho relation of tho
christian church to the trafllo In alco
holic liquors are remarkable. They
are the words of a prominent, able and
sincere worker for the welfare of hu
manity; and yet their sentiment is so
foreign to conceded opinions, that peo
plo are exclaiming that these words are
the ravings of a man false to his trust.
Shall saloons bo ocned by avowedly
christian people or by the church itself
as a means of counteracting the baleful
influence of tho low "doggery" which
Dr. Parkhurst strikes at? Wo arc for
ced to admit that to moot certain pecul
iar conditions In our largo cities, there
are many strong arguments for such
establishments: but with all theso sup
porting Dr. Ualnsford's position, wo
must nevertheless answer this question
in tho negative. Lot there be coffee
rooms, let there lie louflng rooms,
saloons In everything but tho alcoholic
featuro, places where not the boBt class
es but tho lower oiilors may bo reached
and kept from greatest evils; but in tho
name of all that is good, keep alcoholic,
drinks out of them' Meanwhile, In
stead of ignorantly criticising and
Beverly conduniming the position of
such a man as Dr. Kalnsford, lot tho
pious people study his plans and see in
thorn a possibility for tho doing of large
good; for thoro is underlying the utter
ances of this able divine, a full ex(Hir
lenco and wldo olworvatlon which en
ablos him to speak authoritatively upon
questions of city reform. There is no
doubt but his plans for social work
among tho masses have in thorn great
possibilities for helpfulness.
The United State Senato has been,
of late, spending much time in tho
consideration of the "Silver Question."
Senator Sherman was the second sonutor
to raise his voice against the free coin
age of silver which has been supixirtcd
by some dozen advocates. A high
compliment was paid Senator Sherman,
In the large attendance of fellow mem
bers during the progress of his long and
able address. Ho said among other
things that "Free Coinage" was not a
party question; which is true, both the
groat parties being divided on the issue
and there being no doubt but that the
Presidential nominees of both parties
will be against the measure, the most
prominent candidates Cleveland, Harri
son and Blaine being avowedly opposed
to it. Senator Sherman pointed out
the evils already having come upon the
finances of our country in consequence
of the "Free Silver" agitation, and
showed what greater troubles would
follow should the mine owners succeed
in making the Government pay them
a price and a third for all the silver
bullion they might choose to domand
coined. Ho denominated the "Silver
Question" the most Important one now
before our people for decision; as it
involves the whole country in its effect
upon the currency. Money and ex
change control all business enter
prises, and without a sound and per
manent currency alb commercial activ
ity must be parallzed. The debate
in the senate will continue for sometime
to come and during the Presidential
campaign vw will doubtless hoar much
bout "silver." But Senator Sherman
truly said that it is a sectional issue, the
few statet rich in silver mlnos being
arrayed against the rest of the country
for "Free Silver" and until thA
advocates of this measure can rid it of
the taint of selfish sectionalism it is
Tho lynching of a negro for the or
petratlon of a nameless crtmo at Port
.lervls, N. Y., reminds us that tho South
is not alone guilty of hasty action In
taking the law out of the hands of tho
officers nnd meeting sjM'edy Justice to
despicable offenders. It is always ln
mentablo when mob law takes the placo
of tho court of justice and the prison or
gallows. It is doubtless trtto that whilo
the South Is the chief offender In such
substitutions, her provocation Is great.
Let us in tho North keep our skirts
dear, lief tiro we criticise our brethren
of the South to severely. In such cases
as the ono at Port .Tervls, tho hot pass
ion of a moment animating the action of
law abiding citizens sent out of the
world a villiau too base to 1)0 let live.
Wo sjienk no word of regret for him.
Hut while the outrnger dies, law her
self Is outraged, the majesty of Hovern
ment Is trampled Umn. That this
should be protected and sustained should
lie the first desire and effort of all true
citizens.

Hero where the Doctor is well and

for tho lmforiuation of those who do not

rake in tho summer and at tended coun
try school in tho winter. Karly In his
young manhood he adopted the profess

for seven yearn, laboriously nourishing

young idea to shoot. With the money
earned by his own labors ho tcxik a

Since that tlmo he has gradually grown
