If he acceded to their demand they would attend the opening. An inquest was held over the remains of the men of the United States steamship Boston, who were killed in the explosion at Mare Island. Nothing new was developed, as there was no one to give direct -testimony, thirteen of those who were at the scene of. the explosion being dead.

SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. Missionary Work or the American Organisation—The Good Accomplished. Philadelphia, June 17.—The year of missionary work for the neglected children, of our country, in the American Sunday school union, which closed March 1, 1893, was very fruitful in Blessing. Sixteen hundred and sixty-four new Sunday schools were organized in places that were previously entirely destitute of religious privileges, containing 7,0!8 teachers and 59,591 scholars. Aid was given to 3,137 other schools, with 14,303 teachers and 135,399 scholars; while, in addition to this, 4,536 schools that had been before reported were aided, with 25,790 teachers and 299,306 scholars. Besides all this direct Sunday school work, the missionaries of the society distributed by sale and gift 6,458 Bibles and 9,115 Testaments. They made 56,583 visits to families for religious conversation and prayer, and delivered 13,474 sermons and addresses. Sixty-six hundred and seventy-eight conversions were reported as resulting from the evangelistic labors of these earnest and faithful men; and 216 churches have been developed from the Sunday schools established by them, while regular preaching services have been secured in many other places as an outgrowth of this Sunday school • work. It is utterly impossible to estimate the far-reaching and beneficent results of such a missionary work as this, and all accomplished in one year. FATHER MOLLINGER DEAD. The Renowned Faith Cure I>rle«t Passed Away—Sketch of His Lire. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 10.—Father Mollinger, the renowned faith cure priest,died yesterday. He was prostrated Tuesday (St. Anthony’s day). and yesterday an operation was performed for rupture of the stomach but it was useless. Father Mollinger was born of Dutch parentis, from whom he inherited considerable wealth. He only recently attained his 61st birthday. The little church in which he had labored for years is known as the Ghurch of the Most Holy name of Jesus, and is situated at Troy, hill, not far from the heart of Pittsburgh. Father Mollinger years ago obtained the name of being a miracle worker. Miraculous cures were credited to him and thousands flocked to his little church to receive his blessing, although he never claimed to be a miracle monger. The feast of St. Anthony of Padau had long been the day which the priest physician set apart for the reception of his patients from all over the country. Mt, Vesuvius Very Aetlve.

A SENSE O? N90RALITY. Veop.e Still Kespeet Truth Slid ill t'uUtles. 'i’ho nfi solicitations of many prrieti' sal politicians appear to result from an assumption that the moral sense has no place in the political action! Of the people. Not many months ago Mr. In (falls, of Kansas, declared that politics was war, and derided the idea that the decalogue or the moral code had anything to do with iis contests. He not only assumed that in this kind of warfare the end justified the means—the end being simply party success—but he assumed that the mass of the people had no more sernplc than the politicians regarding the means that were used. Inferentially he appvoved of lying and misrepresentation, of duplicity and deficit, of bribery and intimidation, pro tided only,they vrere used so skillfully as to Contribute to sttccese. Somewhat more recently Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania. likened politics to a game in Which skill and adroitness Were sure to prevail. His assumption Was that the leaders and managers made the calculations and planned the moves, and the people simply fell in line and cast the votes, uninfluenced by any considerations addressed to the moral sense. Ifcis upon the belief that the people are controlled in their political action Solely by a traditional attachment to party and by considerations of selfinterest that politicians like Platt and Quay in one party, and like Hill and

Gorman in the other, base their plans. They “take no stock” in a popular sense of what is right or wrqng, what is honest and straightforward'or what is crafty and unscrupulous, as affecting , political results, and like most peaks' who are themselves devoid of seniftuvencss as to moral distinctions, they learn nothing by the lessons of experience, ft was, in fact, the moral sense of the country that rejected Mr, Blaine eight years ago, in spite of the exceptional strength and popularity of the tnan with partisans who were blind to the defects of his character. But for the revolt of the moral sense, on account of qualities and acts which showed a lack of personal integrity, he would have been the strongest candidate ever nominated by his party, with the exception of Lincoln and Grant. What has destroyed the power of Quay in Pennsylvania is the belief that in certain financial transactions in that state he showed a lack of honesty and of moral scruple, and in his efforts to direct the party organization he was indiffereut to considerations of justice and fair dealing. It is not altogether a direct judgment upon his personal conduct, but in part the result of mistakes committed through inability to recognize tlie moral perceptions of others. But in reality it was the revolt of the moral sense in Pennsylvania which overthrew the power of Quay, in spite of an enormous margin of party strength in that state. Mr. Platt in this state has exhibited a similar incapacity to understand the popular instinct in favor of honest and straightforward methods tlie aversion which is felt for corrupt deals and underhanded schemes. Doubtless the bulk of the voters in any party will stick to its standard in a contest, either from belief in its principles or from an attachment in which prejudice has much to do, regardless of the wrongdoing of its politicians, but with a sufficient number to make the difference between success and failure moral considerations will have greater weight than those of any other kind. It is the moral sense of the people that has made the leadership of men like Platt and Quay a failure. It is what defeated Blaine as the candidate of a powerful party ip 1884, and it is what, defeated the effort to nominate him in 1893.— N. Y. Times. EVASIVE UTTERANCES. Insincerity and Obscurity of the Republican 1’latrorm. The republican platform is a queer piece of work. From the first to the last word it is evasive and insincere. To know exactly what it means it is necessary to read it between the lines. , It will be observed that the McKinley hill is nowhere specifically mentioned in the platform, although its putative author was the president of the convention. The omission was no accident. It was remembered that this bill had been condemned by the American people by a majority of nearly a million of votes. It was not forgotten that republicans of eminence had denounced the bill as a violation of the pledges made during the canvass of 1888. The platform, therefore, was content to approve protection and reciprocity without committing the party to details. Between the lints of these declarations and others of a general character we read that the republicans were afraid to indorse the McKinley bill by name. They chose so to frame the platform that it could be construed as an indorsement where it >s popular, and as not an indorsement where that construction promises a better harvest of votes. The assertion that the prices of manufactured articles are lower now than before the passage of the tariff of 1890 is designed to make consumers believe that the manufacturers were deceived when they supposed that this legislation was in their interest. Between the Imes we read that the platformmakers kDew that the manufacturers were too sagacious to believe this hum- j bug, and that they hoped that the masses of tha psool® iy»re no*, U the ;V4
