Godly m?n should be godly all the way through. Godliness in spots occa sionally indicates lack of sincerity. It would s?em that the Portland ministers who are anxious to crush out vice, and who take strenuous exceptions toMayor Williams' policy of deriving city rev enue from this sourc?, should pursue a consistent crusade. The'other day a delegation of ministers called at th? office of the mayor to give some ad dltionnl advice as to the manner in which he should conduct the affairs of tho city. They were especially anxious that hs should make Portland a closed town. The mpyor explained that gambling could not be entirely wiped out, and that he had concluded that it should be psrmitted under restrictions. Incii'ently he mentioned the fact that the city needed the money paid by the fl.tft tt4 It turns ot that the Kansas ruffian thai tired into a crowd at WlnftVld, did j so while the band was playing "Hia watha" and was therefore justifiable in the deed.

The ministers threw up their hands in horror at this, and In the next breath told the mayor that, if he wanted to de rive, revenue, he should raise the sa loon license from $100 to $1000. In other words, these pious gentlemen demand ed of the mayor that he put a stop to one form of vice and levy a higher tax against another business that is usually characterized as quite as vicious. It would seem that the ministers should aim to prohibit the sale of liquor as well as gambling. From their pulpits they preach against the liquor traffic, to which Is attributed nearly all do mestic wo?s. The inconsistent stand of the reverend gentlemen indicates only too plainly that their crusade is not really an earnest one, but that.hav ing undertaken to force the mayor to rec?de from a reasonable position, they purpose carrying their point, even at the sacrifice of the principle for which they have heretofore stoutly contended. The ministers are only cheapening re ligion by thus dabbling in politics, and the interests of the public would be much better subserved if they were to confine themselves to preaching the Christian faith in their espective churches.

In answer to a statement of his opponent, Mr. Clark, to the effect that the coun try is on the verge of a financial and Industrial collapse, Mr. Hanna said in his last speech: "Either Mr. Clarke knows absolutely nothing about busi ness affairs or else that single utter ance, standing alone, as affecting the results of this campaign, should con demn him and the party to retire to oblivion forever. It is worse than criminal." Washington, Sept. 22. Before the state department closed today H was agreed that the Panama treaty was dead, although eight hours yet remain ed in which the Columbian congress might take affirmative action on it.
