The announcement of the early

other tribute to the good work of the
Fifty-first Congresa Which gave the
gambling octopus Its death blow by
shutting its matter out of the malls.
Judoe Gordon, of Philadelphia, In
charging a jury In a case of alleged
i-aIhb nrrpst nnd lmwlBonment, took
occasion to remark: "The right to ar
rest a citizen by any policeman with
out a warrant is one which It is well
to define both for the benefit of police
officers and the Commonwealth. A
policeman has the right to arrest for
an offence committed In his presence
without a warrant, but he haa no right
to arrest any citizen without a warrant
for finv offence which he did not see
committed,"
During eleven months In 1800 we
have imported $2,809,550 worth of cut
lery; during the corresponding period
in 1891 we imported only $918,707
worth. The difference measures the
Increased opportunities for employ,
ment to American cutlery makers.
Perhaps It la true, as the English used
to say, that "American cutlery won't
cut." but It seems that the edges of
American knives, under the McKln
ley bill, have been keen enough to cut
pretty deeply Into the profits of the
Sheffield manufacturers. No wonder
the "reformer" Is unhappy.

Aro the people of the State of Penn
sylvania In earnest In supporting the
great coal trust becatiBo they thinK
that the people of New York will be
the chief suderers?
It is true that nearly all the people
of New York will sutler from this con
spiracy to raise the price of fuel. It is
true that the beneficiary of the con
spiracy will be the great Pennsylvania
corporation that has monopolized the
coal properties of the state. But It is
nlfni trim that the coal consumers ot
Pennsylvania will suflor from the
tyranny of ihe trust.
It la the Pennsylvania idea.however,
that capitalists and corporations,
especially of that state, are of the first
Importance, and that consumers are
persons who ought willingly and
cheerfully to contribute to tho enrich
ment of the special favorites of
eleemosynary laws. From the most
conspicuous to the humblest citizen a,
creat malorlty of Pennsylvania assume
this attitude. Butwhen they say that
New York will sulfer and Pennsyl
vania will prosper, they forget that
New York In this instance stands for
all consumers of coal wherever they
I may dwell.
There are some people In Pennsyl
vania who have made manly and suc
cessful fiehts against similar con
spiracles. Fortunately one of these is
Governor and another la Attorney'
General of the State. Governor Patti
son once took the Initiative for the
people, and it is to be hoped that he
will not falter now. The idea that
the state cannot Interfere for the right
lug of a private wrong doea not apply
In this case. This combination ia an
assault upon the people, and the duty
of the Governor Is to protect both the
neonlo of his own state and those of
other states who are assailed by law
less conspiracies existing In Pennsyl
vania.

The town was well filled with strangers
yesterday who camo to spond Washing
ton's Birthday with friends hero and wit-
npss tho colouration of tho day by parade,
otc. Tbo observance of tbo day was not as
general as in" past years. Thtro was a lack
of enthusiasm in manv resDocts. Tho
parado was comparatively small, tho so-
ciotics being limited and their ranks some
what curtailed, yet tbo parado was- a credit
able one. Tho day was a glorious ono, but
the streets wore very muddy and tho pa
triotio spirit in many breasts took flight at
the thouKht of a tramp through tho slush
Many of those in lino woro low rubber
over shoes and along tho whole routo of tho
parado rubbors wero left in tho mud. Small
boys who delight to figure among those in
line behind a brass band kept track of tho
rubbers and picked them up as thoy went
along, returning them to the ownora. For
this service tbey considered permission to
march near the line'of procession sufficient
reward.
There was considerable dolay in getting
the line moving. Tbo time announced for
tho start was 9:30, but it was near 11 o'clock
before tho marching order was given
The lino moved up Main street from
Cherry, and turned east into Oak street in
tho following order:

DECLARED UNSAFE.
Tho Whlto Stroot School Building
to be Abandoned.
It is now determined that tho "Whlto
stroot school building will not bo occupied
again for some time, probably not until the
opening of the 1892-03 school term, and
Superintendent Frooman has appealed to
tbo directors for permission to rent quarters
for the accommodation of tho pupils who
aro crowded out by the vacancy of the
building.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Howard
Murphy, of Philadelphia, a momber ol
tho State Board of Health, and who is an
expert civil engineer, arrived in town in
response to an invitation from tho School
Board. Arrangements were at once made
by which Mr. Murphy was engaged to
make a thorough inspection of tho Whito
street school building, ascertain tho cause
of its present condition, state what is
noceseary to be dono to put it in good
condition, and stalo if it would be safe to
continue; occupancy of tho building for
school purposos.
In company with members of tho board
and several cit!zons Mr. Murphy visited
tho building and spent about two hours in
oxamining it insido .and out. Uo declined
to givo any definite, or.flnal, opinion until
ho is furnished., with the measurements ot
the walls and other parts of tbo building,
so that ho may ascertain tho weight of tho
Btructuro and compare ft with the support,
Uo said, however, that the foundation and
cellar walls of tho building wero not
constructed proporly and that thoy woro
evidently the causo of trouble. Ue also
said that it may be necessary to remove tho
top story of tho building, but this and
other matters will depend upon the moas
urements, which aro to bo made by
Surveyor S. A. Beddall, and which will be
sent to Mr. Murphy. Tbo latter returned
to Philadelphia yesterday aftornoon.
Superintendent Freeman asked Mr,
Murphy if he considered it safe to allow
children to attend school in the building,
Mr. Murphy answerod: "I believe this
building may stand for a year and I would
ba willing to forfeit (50 for every month it
will not stand during that period; but
would not allow my children to go in the
building for $6,000. Brick buildings are
not like frame- structures. They collapso
suddonly In a heap, without warning,
When thoy once givo signs of going it is
impossible to say how long they will stand,
or how soon they will drop."
It is now generally conceded that tho
condition of the buili'ing is not duo to mlno
workings. Tho P. & R O. & I. officials
say tho workings aro not under tho build
in r, but south of It; and Mr. S. A. Beddall
says he is confident that oven if the work
ings are under the building the inter
mediate stratum is thick enough to protect
the building, Mr. Murphy asked Mr.
Beddall what ho supposod tho thickness of
tho stratum was and that gentleman ro
pliod, "About 230 or 800 foet," upon which
Mr. Murphy said "that Is thick enough, I
should think."
Mr. Murphy will return horo inEabout a
week and it is oxpected ho will be prepared
to givo a definite opinion of the "building
by that time.

SUNDAY SERMON IN
THE M, E, GHIIRGH,
AN INTERESTING THEME VERY
ABLY PRESENTED
AND LISTENED TO ATTENTIVELY.
SubjGot of tho Discourse by Rov
Urban, of Germantown, in
tho Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Rov. A. L. Urban, pastor of St. Stephens
church, Germantown, preached a sermon
of great beauty and power in the Motbo
dlst Episcopal church on Sunday morning.
His theme was the relation of the personal
soul to its porsonal God: Ps. 03-1: "O
God thou art my God." After calling at
tention to tho circumstances under which
tho text was written ho spoke of the uni
versal oxistonco of tho God idea. Voltaire
might reject tho Jehovah of tho bible, but
ho must havo a God so ho worshipped
truth. Franco might dothrono God, but.
Reason must bo enthroned in His place.
However men may try to oscapo from it
and howover far they may wander from
tho right, like tho shell which Is poetically
said to murmur tho sounds of its watery
homo, when your get' right close to their
heart and listen to their secret aspirations
they speak of God. Henco religion is not
something which is imposed upon us from
without but which 'grows upon us from
Within. It is natural. It belongs hero
like tho stars which shino above us and tho
flowers which bloom at our feet. Men
recognize this fact and act accordingly. It
is this that gives sanction to law and yields
tho foundation of duty. No man any
where claims that it is right to do wrong,
Men may differ concerning just what may
bo right or wrong. But all men agree that
whenever right has been ascertained it is
tho duty of all men to do it. And simply
because of the personal eloments that enter
into our relation to it. The cry of the soul
in its hour of sorest need Is for a personal
God not theologicals' definitions ot God
nor philosophical substitutes for God it is
pot satisfied until it is assured that infinite
wisdom and omnipotent lovo becomo our
wise and loving father. Nothing less than
this can givo the rest of soul for which wo
cry. However much inspiration thero may
bo in U10 thought ot my lathers Uod my
mother's God David's God, tho soul
yearns for its own God ily God. There
is comfort in David's experience for us.
It illustrates tho possibilities of all human
experience. David's God may be our God,
and his loving kindness may ba to us, m it
was to him in the wilderness, better than
life. Wo may rost assured that if W3 aro
on God's side He is on our sido. But, as
tho latter part of the Psalm shows, if we
aro againBt God, God is against us. Tho
stars in their courses fight against the man
that lights against God. Here is tho ground
of tho christian's hopo as ho encounters tho
conflicts of lifo and encounter them ho
must but if God bo for us who can be
against us ? "Who shall separate us from
tbo lovo of Christ? Shall life, or death,
Invisible foes or natural forces? Our God
holds them In tho hollow of Uls hand.
Shall things present or things to como?
Our God is the God of eternity.
The God that rules on high
That nil the earth surveys
That rides upon tho stormy deep
And Wilms the roaring sea.
This awful God is ours,
Our Father aud our Uod,
He will bend down Ills heavenly powers
To carry us aliove.
