FRIDAY, - - JUNE 4. 18S6.
It is but simple justice to Rutherford
U. Hayes, of Fremont, Ohio, to state
tl:t lie indignantly denies the news-
I i;r reixjrt that he is laying pipe to
rfff 't his nomination for Congress in the
district latelv represented by Frank
TIjrd.
The Rev. Mr. Scott, pastor of the
Congregational church, at Evanston,
Illinois, has been asked to resign on the
ground of neglect ot his pastoral duties
and lack of interest in the work
of the church. From published
'n'erviews the specific offenses charged
a,T inst Mr. Scott appear to be smoking
cigars in public and riding a bycicle.
Nothing involving his moral character
is charged. Mr. Scott demands an in
vestigation and he is likeiy to get more
of it than he wants.
The New Jersey Prohibition Conven
tlon which met at Newark last week
.iominated Gen. Clinton B. Fisk for
Governor. The nominee is one of the
most eloquent stump speakers in the
country and is a much abler man than
St. John, the Prohibition candidate for
the Presidency two years ago. The
Jersey Republicans or rather the anti-
liquor portion of the Republican party.
did their best to form a coalition with
the Prohibitionists on the State ticket,
but the latter wouldn't trust them and
especially so since the late Republican
Legislature defeated a Local Option
bill which it was pledged to pas?.
It is estimated that within the last
four weeks $3,000,000 in wages have
been lost to working men throughout
the country. Fstimated for the last
four months the sum is immensely
greater, the total loss in various ways
being not iess than $30,000,000. One
item of this is 120,000,000 on building
contracts which have been abandoned
Dv reason of the eight hour and other
demands, which have mainly failed. To
tDis should be added the constructive
and incidental losses resulting from
want of confidence and the stand still
condition of business forsometime past,
the consequences of which workmen
have to bear their part.
Tub Tory press of England is just now
pouring out the vials of its wrath upon
thedevoted headiof Mr. Gldtone. One
of them. Vanity Fair holds him up ag "a
convicted teller of fa'.fruood ; hia lies
ar gross a a mountain, open, pa'rable."
"He has descended to meanness deeper
than ever plummet sounded," and much
more of the same sort. Gladstone, how
ever, will survi ve all tne assaults of Tory
misrepresentation and malice and will
continue to light the battle in favor of
the rights of Iieland until his efforts are
at last crowned with success. He may
be defeated now, crushed to the earth,
but he will rebound to his feet with
renewed strength and vigor to resume
the coLflict.
As an orator John A. Logan is "grand,
gloomy and peculiar," as will be Feen
from the following extract from his
eulogy on General Grant at the tomb of
th latter in Riverside Tark, N. Y., on
Monday last :
A man has lived, who, weighed with
the enormous results flowing from his
work Into the ramifications of the un
known future, was immeasuraby greater
than Cyrus, above Alexander, greater
than (Jtca.ir, supreme over Tompey, Han
nibal and Scipio, towering among
Charlemagne, the Piince of Orar.ge,
Frederick the great, Wellington and
Napoleon, and whose name is not to be
mentioned in connection with those of
Miltiades and Sulla. In all authentic
history the work of but one individual
approaches that of Grant."
"I am at a loss to form an opinion as
to what will be the condition of the
Democratic party when this Congress
adjourns," said that veteran Democrat,
Judse Holman,of Indiana,ln Washing
ton one day last week. There is no
cause for wonder at Judge Holman's
Inability to discount the outcome of the
present Congress. The House contains
a majority of over forty Democrats and
their constituents have a clear right to
demand that the pledges in favor of re
trenchment and reform made to the
people at Chicago when Cleveland was
nominated shall be honestly fulfilled.
Mr. Cleveland has always stood prepared
to redeem every promise made by his
party In the Chicago platform, but un
less the House carries out its pledges
the President is powerless. It makes no
difference that the Senate is Republican.
It ought to be forced to take the re
sponsibility of rejecting the legislation
by the House to which the Democracy
of the country is solemnly committed.
Instead of cutting down expenditures
the appropriations have been increased,
as is abundantly shown by the passage
through the House of a ieckless and ex
travagant River ard Harbor bill. Time
after time the House has been without
a quorum, so that men like Judge
Ilolnian. Mr. Randall and others, are
unable to make a move with any cer
tainty of success. Absenteeism, and
therefore no quorum, I. as ben the curse
of the present House as it has been of so
many former Houses. One day two
weeks ago ninety members were absent
at the horse races a few miles from
Washington, when they ought to have
beu In their seats earning their salaries,
and attending to the business before the
House. It only takes one man, Mr.
Cleveland, to make a quorum in the
White House, and he is always there,
workir-g like a dray horse, and always
ready to discharge his duties. If the
House was only half aa intent on per
forming its duty as the President is in
the discharge of his own, Mr. Holman
would not have such great cause to com
plain. Now is the time as the session is
drawing to close, that the worst jobs
are likely to be put through, and the
Democrats in the House can yet redeem
their promises to a very great extent if
hey will go resolutely to work and de-
t them. L-t them remember that

There is no county in the State in
which money is so lavishly and corruptly
used to control primary elections as in
the countv of Lancaster. This has been
the case in that county year after year
and although it has been openly and
vigorously denounced as often as it has
occurred by the JVctc Era, the leading
Republican paper of that county, the
parly bosses continue the debauching
practise in open defiance of the plain
provisions of the act of Assembly of
It was to cut up by the roots thi3
wholesale corruption at primary elec
tions, that a Lancanster county member
of the Legislature drew up and had
passed the act above referred to. The
Republican primary election in that
county took place on last Saturday
week, and by common consent It is ad
mitted to have surpassed all the previous
ones iii the unblushing use of money to
corrupt the voters. The Lancaster cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Times
avers that a day or two before the prim
aries took place a messenger from Har-
risburg brought to the county a paskage
of twenty-five hundred dollars, that the
men to whom the money was delivered
gave one Jake Strine Gve hundred dollars
thereof to control the vote of the bor
ough of Columbia, in which h? lived.
in favor of the nomination of Summy
for State Senator, the aforesaid Summy
being an avowed friend of that guileless
Statesman, MatthewS. Quay, for United
States Senator, that for some reason
Strine went back on the arrangement
and subsequently declared that Le would
return the money to Quay. The Quay
candidate, Summy, waa defeated by his
opponent, Stehman. Who raised this
corruption fund of 52,500? Jake Strine
evidently understood where it came
from when he declared that he would
return it to Quay. We have here then
M. S. Quay at his old 'game which he
knows so well how to play. From his
place in the Treasury Department at
Harrisburg he attempts to dictate the
nomination of a State Senator in Lan
caster county who is his friend for
United States Senator, and unless all
the surroundings are deceptive he sends
a round sum of money there to accom
plish his purpose. Practical politicians
like Quay have an utter contempt for
an act of Assembly whose purpose is to
prevent the corrupt use of money in
carrying a primary election. And yet
Quay who manipulated the pardon of
his friend Bill Kemble, who was
convicted of corrupt solicitation in con
nection with the Pittsburg riot damage
bill, is likely to carry of! the prize of the
next U. S. Senatorship without a serious
struggle. To such base nses have Re
publican politics in Pennsylvania come
al last.
Jon.vxN Most, the New York An
archist, and his two intimate associates
and co-workers, Schenck and Braunpch
weig, were convicted on Friday last of
the offence of inciting to riot by the
speeches they have been in the habit cf
making iu several halls In that city in
defense of their peculiar theories in re
gard to the right of men to acquire
property and to be protected in its peace
able enjoyment. We don't suppose that
Most ever did an honest day's work in
his life, certainly not since he has been
in this country, and presumably not in
Germany where ho spent the greater
portion of his revolutionaiy career in
prison. His notion of liberty of speech
is that a man has a perfect right to say
anything he pleases without being called
to account for it; to preach doctrines
which, if once put into practice, would
uproot society, destroy all peace and
order, make all property common, let
ting him take who caa and letting him
keep who is able. lie fights under a
red flag bearing the inscription, "the
possession of property is robbery." He
urges his deluded hearers to purchase
arms and hold nightly drills in order
that they may be prepared to enforce
their agrarian demands either by the
bullet or at the point of the bayonet.
His aim is to create a war, not of words,
but h war of blood and rapine on the
part of the working men against their
employers. That his destructive doc
trines will ever find any great foothold
in this country of liberty and law is not
seriously dreaded. The working man
can and will protect his rights through
the peaceable exercise of the ballot, an
instrumentality unknown to such
apostles of Anarchy as Most, whose
proper place of domicile is in a prison.
TriE Chicago Grand Jury on yester
day week returned iudictmenta against
August Spies and five other Anarchists
for murder in connection with the Hay
market massacre on the night of the 4th
of May, when a dynamite bomb waa
thrown into the ranks of the police kill
ing five of their number. The cases of
several other Anarchists are under con
sideration by the Grand Jury. Quite a
number of Anarchists in St. Louis and
Milwaukee are under arrest and will be
put upon their trial as soon aa true bills
are fouud against them. It is absolute
ly necessary for the peace of the country
and the protection of human life that
every nest of these scoundrels in the
large cities, where the opportunities for
disseminating their infamous doctrines
are almost unlimited, should be broken
up,and that they should be sternly taught
that this is a country of liberty and
not of license to preach the doctrines of
the followers of the the Red flag in
Berlin and Paris. It is not such a state
of affairs as Thomas Jefferson meant
when he said that error of opinion could
be tolerated when reason is left free to
combat It. Ararchy means the death
of the Government and its bloody advo
cates must be put down by the strong
aim of the law.
REsrECTixu the future course of
Mr. Gladstone on the Home Rule bill
the Philadelphia Ttwyrd of a late date,
says: It has been determined that after
the Home Rule bill shall have passed its
second reading it will be laid aside and
reconstructed for presentation ia the
early part of the autumn session of Par
liament. Mr. Gladstone's object un
doubtedly ia to work up the constituen
cies during the summer months, so that
if an appeal to the country shall be
necessary he can return to the nouse of
Commons with a largely increased ma
jority. In this view of the oue.stion th
larneintea are said to agree with him;
and it is to be hoped that durin? the'
interval no coritinguency shall arise to
imperil the succts of the plan.
Sort Soap for the Prohibitionists.
The nnabating determination of the
Frohibitionists to keep up t heir separate
party and press their favorite issue
frightens the Republicans, and tney are
row at their old trick of pretending a
deep and respectful interest in temper
ance. Moreover, the struggles of the
Wets and the Drys, aud the successes of
the latter in the South, have undoubted
ly been carefully considered by the
shrewder Republican politicians. They
want to go far enough to bamboozle the
prohibition element in the party without
offending the anti Prohibitionists or
breaking with Republican saloon keep
ers. This is difficult, but the Republi
cans are used to it. The walls of the
Republican ehop are hung with the
chastest temperance mottoes, but easi
ness is brisk tt the bar all the same.
If the Republican party would come
out as a parly for high license, the pros-vx-c.Ik
of rational temperance legislation
would be greatly improved. But the
Republicans are merely talking temper
ance for political effect, and so only that
effect need be taken into account. Sup-
nasfl there should be a eeneral imitation
in Republican States of the example of
the New jersey nepuoncaa jjunuciaua
who held a conference this week appar
ently for the purpose of discounting the
effect of the Convention which began
the next day. of the Prohibitionists of
that State. Suppose in addition that
every Republican platform should have
more than the usual Republican quota
of fair words for tem iterance reform and
denunciation of rum, and should go as
far as may be dared tow-ird soothing the
Prohibitionists and keening restive I'ro
hibition Republicans within the fold.
What will it all amount to ?
The Republicans are very stupid if
they do not see that the Prohibitionists
are permanently separated from me Jte
publican party, having been deceived by
it too often. The Prohibitionist are
even more bitter against the Republi
cans than against the Democrats, for at
least there is nothing hypocritical about
the attitude of the latter with reference
to the question of liquor prohibition.
And the bitter attack of the Republi
cans uoon St. John and his Sinjiuners in
1SS4 are vet fresh in the recollection of
the Prohibitionists.
W believe the Prohibitionists to be
wholly wrong ia their theory, and that
hiffh license is the correct and rational
solution of the liquor question. At the
same time it is not to be denied that the
Prohibitionists are sensible in expecting
nothing from the Republicans, and in
seeking to attain their object by means
of a separate party, ine large pronm:
tion element in the Republican party
which still hopes that the Republicans
will some time fairly and squarely make
an issue of prohibition, or which for
nurelv political reasons ia averse to a
separate Prohibition partv. may ftill
allow itself to be leceived. The Prohi
bitionists, however, will goon their way
as actively and earnestly as ever, witn
out payine any attention to Republican
professions of sympathy with thim, and
it may chnr.ee that in more than one
close State the Prohibitionists may be
able to have a serious or even decisive
effect upon the result of elections. Cer
tain!y it is their cue to beat the Tlepub-
llcans rather than the Democrats, for
from the latter they can expect nothing,
while the former may learn from the ic
peated cudgelines that the Prohibition
ists mean business, and that the Repub
lican party must tiecotue prohibitionist
in earnest if it wants the prohibition
vote. A". 1". Sun.
Religion vs. Anarchy.
Two classes of persons reject religion,
besides the very tew from whose mental
constitution the ideas and emotions of
the religious nature are omitted. The
majority of those who profess atheism
or agnosticism are either the ignorant
and degraded or the superficially culti
vated and egotistic. The former are
ruined by misfortune. The former have
had adisolate experience, through which
they are hardly able to discern a benevo
lent Creator or Providence ; the latter
have come through uninterrupted pros
perity and one sided culture to the opin
ion that there is no mind superior to
their own in the universe.
When scholars and "gentlemen" des
pise religion, they dissent in private, or
in club houses, or, at the most in maga
zine essays. But the proletariat does
not rest content with this mild, nega
tive protest ; it makes a positive utter
ance of its fidelity assails establish
ments of worship :a blasphemous tirades,
takes irreligious sentiments for its urn',
toes, and attacks the institutions ov r
which the church stands guard. Atten
tion is directed, of late, to the legend
inscribed on the banners of Chicago
Anarchists ; and many are found of the
sort represented by this inscription :
"We want no God, no religion and no
masters." The men who paraded un
der that banner also march behind the
red flag, inveigh against property, are
the foes of marriage, plot treason and
murder, aud put their plans in execu
tion. They do not stop with the civil
cavil, the polite sneer, the materialistic
argument. It may make no seeming
difference to the polished skeptic, pmil
ing at Christian faith over his wine,
whether there be an all-wise, all-loving
governor of the world. He has little in
a worldly way of which to complain ;
but to the man with whom fate and
society have not dealt so indulgently
the difference ia immense. If there be
no benevolent purpose behind the in
equalities of social conditions, no power
that works for righteousness, that aids
the noble endeavor, confounds the evil
and rebukes the selfish, why should he
bear with an uncomfortable lot or trust
moral agencies to make the world more
tolerable for him and his posterity ? If
he be already allied to the baser orders
of society, his unbelief keeps him at his
original level; if he have not yet de
scended to the grade of those who hope
nothing from this life or the life to come,
the despair of his creedless estate usual
ly reduces bim to their companionship.
Hatred of mankind is the master pas
sion at those depths; alliance in crime
is the bond of comradeship. Irreligion
may be a private matter when fops or
literati profess it ; it is a public concern
when accepted by the brotherhood of
poverty or crime.
Perhaps many who had boasted their
insensibility to devout impressions, see
ing their doctiines in the horrid glare
of nihilistic war, will learn sobriety,
and talk in whispers for a while, or ad
mit the practical value of churches and
pious convictions. Like worldly-wise
old Major Pendennis, they may even at
tend divine services itself for the influ
ence of their pattern, paying all the de
ference involved In the doctrine that
religion is the mainstay of governments,
guardian of pub'.ic peace and inspirer of
the domestic virtues. Syracuse, X. 1'.

The Attack on a Crippled Soldier.
The malicious lying done by Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas, in his brutal assault
on Pension Commissioner Black cannot
be excused, while an extenuating cir
cumstance may possibly be baesed on
the theory that Ingalla was so carried
away by pas'on and partisan hate that
he hardly knew what he was saying ;
though, of course, such a plea would
deprive the the Senator's utterances of
all cliim to consideration. General
Biack is a disabled Union soldier who
has never failed in his duty in peace or
war. In his present position he has
been active in defeating the machina
tions of dishonest pension claimants
and ha? done much to break up the
scandalous practices which brought dis
grace upon the Pension Office under the
Republican administrations. St. Louus

The General Assembly at Cleveland.
A special meeting of the General As
sembly of the Knights of Labor begins
in Cleveland to-day. jiucn or tue dusi
ness for which the meeting has been
called is of high importance, necent
experience has shown that the weakest
point of the organization ia its lack oi a
proper system or government ana ais
cipline. The General Executive Board
have tco little authority, and even mat
authority has not been respected. The
power to strike and to boycott has been
recklessly and foolishly used by some of
the district assemblies, lr the order is
to be useful to its membors and to have
the support of public opinion, it cannot
afford to repeat such performances as
the Martin Irons strike. In the last re
sort that strike was taken up Dy tne
General Master Workman, but if the
General Executive Board had the power
to interfere before, the strike would
never have been begun.
Every senseless boycott and unjustifi
able strike ordered by a local assembly
must in the end be ineffectual, and,
moreover, must both diminish th re
sources of the Knights and create a
doubt about them, or a prejudics against
them in the public mind. There should
De a strong central authority whose de
cisions should be respected, and offend
ing assemblies should be expelled. The
fools and hotheads in the district as
semblies, who are always anxious to
start a boycott or a strike apparently for
the purpose of showing the power of the
organization, should be squelched before
thev tret a chance to weaken and dis
grace the order. No strike should be
ordeied except with the sanction of the
central authority after investigation,
and upon proof that A strike is justifi
able and likely to prove successful. As
for the boycott, it would probably be
wiser for the Knights to leave it alone
altogether. At any rate, boycotts should
not be begun for trivial causes.
The relations of the Knights of Labor
with the trades unions will also be con
sidered at the Cleveland meeting, but
changes in the laws of the order in re
ference to strikes and boycotts and to
the enlargement of the powers of the
General Executive Board, will be the
principal business of the Assembly.
Without a wise and coherent plan of
government the Knights cannot expect
to get the benefit of their organization
and without such a plan the order, dis
tracted and divided by local quarrels.

President Cleveland's Personality.
The Piesident's vetoes are public ser
vices which the country will appreciate,
ice pension vetoes and tae message
upon the proposal to make Springfield in
Massachusetts, an inland city of 40,000
inhabitants, a port of entry, show a
careful regard for the details of legisla
tion and for the public welfare, which
are characteristic of their author. He
does not approve laws because a major
ity of his friends in Congress aay iave
voted for them, nor tolerate raids upon
the Treasury because both parties, for
political objects, may have supported
them. It is not surprising that the
vetoes are exciting great attention in
Congress. They are exciting no less at
tention and great approbation in the
country at large.
The President's personal qualities are
a force in the present political situation
much too important to be overlooked by
any sagacious politician. If they do not
secure the heatry admiration of the lead
ers and organs of his party they com
mand the confidence of good citizens in
all pr.r'-ies, and that is the ultimate con
trolling power in politics. The leal
leader is the man who apprehends cor
rectly that sentiment, and acts accord
ir gly. It is the Democratic party that,
returiiing to power, after a quarter cf a
century, amid gr.r.s-ml d:stiust and ap
prehension, it has brought into the
Presidency a man so 'plainly btnt up n j
honest, government and so strong and j
corageousasMr. Cleveland, under whose I
administration that d strust and vague j
apprehension of calami! of tamper
ing with the finances, of favoring con- '
federate objects, of rt pealing good laws,
have disappeared.
This is an immense ad vantage for the
President's party, because it deprives
the Republicans of that appeal to fi ;ir
which was one of the mosr, persn:tive
arguments in SI, and it relieves tW-..d
irterestsof the appr henaion that liiey
would be imperiled by !) motraiic suc
cess. This last ia a change which will
be probably apparent in the contribu
tions to the Republican party treasury.
Every vetoe, is plainly in the interest
of the public aud not of a party, will
deepen ai,d extend thisconfidence, while
o'd and exhausted party cries and little
captious "digs" at his course will avail
nothing against the effect of his sturdy
integrity arid obvious honest purpose.

Why the Irish Like Green.
The early Celts worshiped the Dawn
and the Sunrise. It is more than prob
able that the Irish preference of the
color green, for their fUg and their
sashes, arose from a mistake among
those who had lost a thorough knowl
edge of the old Irish language. The
sun, in Irish, is called by a word pro
nounced like our word "green," and it
is likely that the Irish fondness for that
color arose from the word's exact like
ness in sound to their word for the sun.
In the same way, when we talk about
greenhouses, we think they are called
so because the plants are kept green in
them during winter. Yet it is far more
probable that "green," here, is the Irish
word meaning, not the color, but the
sun ; because greenhouses are built so
as to catch the sun's rays and store them
up while it is hidden by c!ouds,as happens
more than half the time in showery
Ireland. June Century.

Cholera seems to be lurking in most of
the Italian cities on the Mediterranean
coast. It has not developed thns far to the
proportions attained during the summer and
fall of 1884 and 1885, but it must be remem
bered this is still spring and not the season
of the cholera's greatest ravages. Latest
advices also report Us reappearance at Mar
seilles, In France, a port with which this
country carries on a very extensive traffic.
In fact, since the fruit trade of this country
with the natives of Southern Europe has
reached such vast proportions, only the most
rigid enforcement of strict quarantine reau
lations will protect us from the invasion of
this dreaded scourge.
