( ESTABLISHED 1850. ) j J. H. ESTILL, Editor and Proprietor. ( BAYARD IS KEPT BUSY. A TALK ABOUT SEALERIES, FISH ERIES AND FILIBUSTERS. He Explains That Alaska Affairs Are Not in the Jurisdiction of His De partment-Criticism of His Course in the Canadian Muddle Premature— Pauble’s Trial. Washington, Sept. IS.—With regard to the statements published to-day alleging that Secretary Bayard had telegraphed “his officers’’ in Alaska to release the seized sealers, and that the order had not t>een executed because the Alaskan official was not sure of the authenticity of the order, Secretary Bayard said to-night that the dis patch showed its incorrectness on its face. Alaska is part of the United States, and consequently the State Department has no officers whatever there, asit has in foreign countries. All its knowledge of Alaska affairs comes through other de partments of the government. The Secre tary of State would give no order to an Alaskan official nor receive information from one except through the head of another department, NOT ORDERED RELEASED. With reference to that part of the dis patch and of other dispatches, which allege that the release of the seized sealers has been ordered, the secretary made the following explicit denial of any knowledge of any such order: “There has been to my knowledge no order issued by the Presi dent for the release of any of the vessels seized this year, simply because we have no knowledge of the cir cumstances under which the vessels were seized, and we only know that they are in the hands of the court, and therefore will be dealt with according to law. There were three cases last year in which the President saw fit to order the release of three vessels seized August, 1886, but those are the only cases thut I know of in which vessels were ordered released. Teat occurred last year, and the facts were made public at the time.” ANNOYED OVER Til 1 FISHERIES. The Secretary was somewhat annoyed at the criticisms which had been made upon his course with regard to the fisheries ques tion, and particularly with reference to the commission for a settlement. He said he had made a proposal to Great Britain for a settlement and that the proposal had been made public some time ago. He did not think the mere machinery by which the agreement was reached on the basis of his proposal of particular importance. He could not hasten the publication of the correspondence which had since taken place. It would all be laid before Congress in due time, and be made public, and would show tbat his efforts had been to obtain an honorable and fair settlement of the ques tion. NO ROW WITH CUBA. Secretary Bayard said to-night that he did not believe any international compliea tions could result from the conviction of Cirilo Pouble by the Cuban authorities. Pouble v. as the t'ubau who returned to tbat island immediately after obtaining his nat uralization papers, and was arrested for insurrectionary conduct during the ad ministration of President Arthur. His case had been diligently watched under direction of the Department of State by the United States Consul General to Cuba. He had excellent counsel, and all the United States could do was to see that he obtained justice under the laws of Spain. CLEVELAND’3 RETURN. Both He and His Wife Greatly Pleased With Their Trip. Washington, Sept. 18. —The President and party, consisting of himself and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Bayard and Col. and All’s. Lamont, arrived in Washington from Philadelphia, about 3 o’clock this morning in the special car of President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad. Carriages were in waiting and the party immediately en tered them and were driven to their several home-. The President and Mrs. Cleveland went to the White House, where they remained until the afternoon, when they drove out to Oak View. They were much fatigued from their constant round of receptions, though highly delighted with the trip. They re garded the celebration as a complete suc cess and a great demonstration, and have nothing but praise for their reception while in the Quaker City. The President will have to lot his right hand rest for a day or two. hut he would uot have been sateslicd if the commission had not made arrangements for handshak ing receptions. He wanted to see as many of the people as possible Tile President will lie busy now until he leaves on Sept, 20 or 80, preparing for his Western and Southern trip. He will probably announce his pro gramme this week. lie will go to St. Louis first, then to the North west and then to At lanta. STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS.

Boston, Sept. 18.—A union meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers was held in the Boston Theatre this afternoon for the purpose of expounding the princles of the order and inducing those outside of it to come in. The theatre was filled and the Brotherhood was well repre sented members coming from all parts of the biute. Lieut. Gov. Bracket spoke of tlio good the organization seemed to lie doing and expressed his sympathy with it. BENEFICIAL INFERENCES. Grand Chief Engineer P. \V. Arthur of the Brotherhood was introduced, and voci ferously applauded. He spoek first of the benifieial features of the order, and how it aimed to organize men for mutual protec tion, to obtain for the roads better men, and a higher standard of work. It aimed, he said, to secure sobriety among its members above all tilings. Many a man had been stopped in his downward career by its influences, kept in his position and made a sober man. In regard to its insurance department, he urged upon every brother to avail him self of l'uS opportunities. The Brotherhood had already paid out 82,159,01)0 to widows and orphans. its business features. In regarding the business features of the order, he would say that although regarded first with distrust by railway managers, it it was now approved of by' them, and he had not met one in ten years who seriously opposed it. On every road where the Brotherhood was organized there is what is known as a grievance com mittee, to which nil t.r.; grievances of the men are made known. It ought to be com posed of cool-headed men and those longest in the service of the road and known to the officials. He was sorry to say it was not always made of such men. DUTY OF THE COMMITTEE. It was the duty of this committee to lay a grievance, if it was considered a just one, before officials of the toads, starting with the lowest and taking it in turn If not re dressed from one, to the next higher, until the general manager was reached. If he failed to settle the difficulty the Grand Chief Engineer was sent for, and he seldom failed to hring about an arnicaSle adjustment. Strikes were to be discouraged, for there were no cases when parties could be broug* it together that a settlement could not be agreed upon. On closing he urged the brothers to be honest, just and true to their employers, and they would not fail of suitable recognition. NEWSPAPER NIMRODS. They Fire at Each Other but Wound a Byatander. Charleston, S. C., Sopt. 18.—At Mount Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, to-day, a newspajier controversy resulted in a shoot ing affray between R. R. Royal and Theo dore P. Gaillard. The former fired a pistol twice. The latter fired a shotgun leaded with buckshot once. Two buckshot struck B. M. Royal, brother of R. It. Royal, in the knee and side. The latter shot cannot be found by doctors, who pronounce B. M. Royal in a critical condition. R. R. Royal and Gaillard were arrested and put under bond. The meeting was the outcome of a news paper controversy between Theodore S. Gaillard and Dr. E. M. Royal , chairman of the County Commissionere of Berkeley county, growing out of a letter which was published on Sept. 2, signed ‘ Enquiring Mind.” To this letter Mr. Gaillard pub lished a commentatary on Sept. 5. On Sept. 7 Dr. E. M. Royal, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners for Berkeley,pub lished a letter in reply, stating that Mr. Gaillard was an ex-clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, ox deputy sheriff, ex-runner between the Republican and Independent parties and a disappointed officeseekor. This brought forth a bitter rejoinder from Mr.Gaillard on Sept. 14, charging Dr. Royal with squander ing the tax payers’ money by means of jobs and direct violation of the law. This re sulted in the shooting to-day. COERCION DEFIED. Nationalists Meet at Bandon and 111-use Two Reporters. Dublin, Sept. 18.—In accordance with the announcement, a meeting of Nationalists was held at Bandon to-day. A government reporter present was not molested, but representatives of the Cork Constitution and Illustrated London News were roughly handled until the speakers on the platform interfered in their behalf. Messrs. Brunner and Hooper, members of Parliament, ad dressed the meeting. Mr. Balfour has returned to Scotland. Archbishop Walsh in a letter to the Dublin Express says that as the landlords at their recent meeting failed to adopt a manful attitude on the question of a con ference betwoen the landlords and tenants, ho fears that the opportunity to effect a set tlement is now lost. A ST. LOUIS PRIEST. Mitchkllstown, Sept. 18.—At a public meeting of the National League held here to-day Father O’Leary of St. Louis, was "introduced to the assemblage as a clergyman who had sent tens of thousands of dollars from America, to help the cause in which the league was engaged. The reverend gentleman an nounced himself a believer in tho doctrines of Henry George, and urged that no rent should be paid. At the Chicago Convention he had expressed his readiness to become a chaplain in any army raised to relieve Ireland from the slavery she was enduring. Mr. Condon, member of Parliament, dis approved of Father O’Leary’s remarks, and advised the people to continue in the consti tutional path now pursued for the redress of their grievance*. NOT TIME TO DISARM. The Ambitious Boulanger Makes An other Incendiary Speech. Paris, Sept. 18.—Gen. Boulanger, in an address to the officors of his command after the manieuvres by his corps ut Clermont For rand yesterday, strongly urged the neces sity of giving n wider exorcise of offensive tactics, which wore proper to the French army. He concluded his remarks ns follows: “We have to-day more need than over of the qualities of the warrior. No, the hour has not yet been struck for tho disarmament of the |ieople of old Europe. It is madness to lielievo it, a crime to snv it, for it points to peace at any price, as the goal to which our country should aspire and our enemies, who often appraise us at our real value better than we uo ourselves, know well that, we have not got as far as that.

ROPING IN TELEGRAPHISTS. Dr. McGlynn and Henry George Ad dress Them. New York, Sept. ljj. —In response to a general call for a mass-meeting of Tele graphers, Linemen and other* engaged in electrical pursuits about 200 persons assem bled at Masonic Temple this afternoon. Henry George, Dr. McGlynn, Frank Ferrall and Louis F. Post were among the gentle men to speak, and urge support of the United Labor party’s ticket. Mr. George asked telegraph men to work for the ticket, and promised to send his paper to ail who would let him know their addresses. “Work with all your power,’ said Mr. George, and when November, 1888 comes, you will have messages to send around the world that will gladden your souls. THE RESOLUTIONS. Henry A. Dusouebet was chosen secre tary, and he read the resolutions. Those declared that the telegraphers of this vicinity believed that “their interest lies in common with thht of the wage-working masses;” that, at present, the employe is de pendent upon “tho bounty, good will or charity of the employer, as if he were not an equal, free-born and independ ent American citizen.” “Taxing land to its full rental value” was advocated, and because the United Labor party favored this principle of “ justice, in dependence and equal and natural rights.” The resolutions approved the platform of the Syracuse convention. The resolutions also chose the naming of a representative telegrapher to stump the State. When the chairman put the question on the adoption of tne resolutions, there was a moment's pause. Then came a pretty gen eral acquiescence, and tne adoption of the question was announced. Dr. McGlynn was heartily received. He spoke at length. He ex)k>uuded the party’s principles, and as soon as he got through a general oxodus took place, before a speaker to stump tho State was selected. Cholera’s Horrible Work. Rome, Sept. 18.—The cholera afflicting the inhabitants of Messina is of the most, violent character, death frequently ensuing an hour after the attack. The mortality is not confined to the town classes. Thpre Is great misery among the people. Gravedig gers refuse to pursue their calling until corn lulled to bv tne troop*.

The World Compelled to Honor Chris tian Character—Elevation the Result of Persecution— Sins Sure to Be Ex posed-Lay Up For the Future. Brooklyn, Sept. 18. —After being closed for some weeks for improvements and en largements, t he Brooklyn Tabernacle was opened to-day. The same overwhelming throngs were iu attendance as before. The congregation sang, with great effect, the hyum: “Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone. He can create, aud he destroy." After explaining appropriate passages of Scripture, Dr. Talmage took his text from Genesis xli, 41: “And Pharaoh said unto Jo seph : See, I have set thee over all tho laud of Egypt.” Tho subject of the serman was “The Prime Minister.” Dr. Talmage said: You cannot keep a good man down. God has decreed for him a certain elevation to which he must attain. Ho will bring him through though it coet Him a thousand worlds. There are men constant ly in trouble lest they shall not he appreciated. Every man iu the end oomes to lie valued at just what he is worth. How often you see men turn out all their forces to crush one man or set of men. How do they succeed! No better than did the government tbat tried to crush Joseph, a Scripture character upon which we speak to-day. It would be an in sult to suppose that you were not all familiar with tho life of Joseph; how his jealous brothers threw him into the pit, but, seeing a caravan of Arabian merchants moving along on their camels with spices and gums that loaded the air with aroma, sold their brother to these merchants, who carried him down into Egypt; how Joseph was sold to Potiphar, a man of influence ami office; how by bis integrity he raised himself to high position in the realm, until under tho false charge of a vile wi etch he was hurled into the penitentiary; how in prison lie com manded respect and confidence; how by tho interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream he was freed and became the chief man in govern ment, the Bismarck of the nation; now in time of famine Joseph had tbe control of a storehouse which he had filled during tho seven years of plenty; how when his brot.hors who had thrown him into the pit aud sold him into captivity applied for corn he sent them home with their beasts borne down under the heft of the corn sacks; how the sin against their brother, which had so long been bidden, came out at last, and was re turned by that brother’s forgiveness and kindness, an illustrious triumph of Chris tian principle. Learn from this story in the first place, that the world is compelled to honor Chris tian character. Potiphar was only a man of the world yet Joseph rose in his estima tion until all tho affairs of that groat house were committed to his charge. From this servant no honors or confidence were with held. When Joseph was in prison ho soon won the heart of the keeper, and, though plaited there for being a scoundrel. he soon convinced the jailor that he was an innocent and trustworthy man, and, released from close confinement, he became a general su perintendent ot prison affairs. Wherever Joseph was placed, whether a servant iu the house of Potiphar or a prisoner in the penitentiary, he became the flr->t man every where and is an illustration of the trutli I lay down that tho world is compelled to honor Christian character. There are those who affect to despise a reli gious life. They speak of it as a system of phlebotomy by which a man is bled of all his courage aud nobility, They say he has bemeanea himself. They pretend to have no more confidence in him since his conver sion than liefore his conversion. But all that is hypocrisy. It is impossible for any man not to admire and confide in a Chris tian who shows that he has really become a child of God and is what ho professos to be. You cannot despise a son or u daughter of the Lord God Almighty. Of course half and-half religious character wins no appro bation. Redwald, the king of the Saxons, after Christian biptism had two altars, one for the worship of God and the other for the sacrifice of devils. You may have a contempt for such men,for mere pretension of religion, but when you behold the cxcellancy of Je sus Christ come out in the life of one of His disciples, all that there is good and noble in your soul rises up into admiration. Though that Christian be as far beneath you in estate as the Egyptian slave of whom we are discussing, by an irrevocable law of our nature Potiphar and Pharaoh will alwuys esteem Joseph. Chrysostom when thro it ened with death by End ix a, the Empress, sent word to her saying: “Go tell her that I fear nothing but sin.” Burti nobility of character will always be applauded. There was something in Agrippu and Felix which demanded their respe t for Paul, tho rebel against government. I doubt not they would willingly have yielded their office und dignity for tho thousandth part of that true heroism which beamed in the eye aiul beat in the heart of tho unconquerable apostle. The infidel and worldling are com- polled to honor in their hearts, though they may not eulogize with thoir lips, it Christian firm in persecution, cheer ful in poverty, trustful in losses, triumphant in dentil. I Hud Christian men in all professions and occupations, and I find them respected, and honored, and suc cessful. John Frederick Oberiin alleviating ignorance aud distress. John Howard pass ing from dungeon to lazaretto with healing for the body and the soul, Elizabeth Frye coming to the profligate of Newgate prison to shake down their obduracy as the angel came to the pri*on at Philippi, driving open tho doors ail'd snapping lochs and chains, ns well as the lives of thousands of the follow ers of Jesus who have devoted them selves to the temporal and spir itual welfare of the rare, are monuments of tbe Christian re ligion that shall not crumble while the world lasts. A man in the cars said: "I would like to become a Christian if 1 only knew what religion is. But if this lying, and cheating, and bod behavior among men who profess to be good is religion. I want none of it.” But, my friends, If lam an artist in Rome and u man co nus to me and asks w hat the art of painting is, I must not | show him the daub of some mere pret rnder | I w ill Lake him to the Raphaels and the j Michael Angelo*. It is most unfair and | dishonest to take the ignominious failures i in Chriitlan profession instead of tho glorious successes. Tho Bible aud ttie church are great picture galleries filled with masterpieces. Furthermore: we learn from this story of Joseph that the result of persecution is alleviation. Had it not beeu lor his being sold into Egyptian bondage by his malicious brothers and his false imprisonment., Joseph would never have boooiuo Prime Minister. Kveryimdy accepts the promise: “Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteous ness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of lienveti,” hut they do not realize the fact that this principle applies to worl/Uy as well as spiritual success It is true iu all de partments. Had it not boon foi A7 whines, who brought impeachment against Demon j thenes, the immortal oration Do Corona j would never have been delivered. M<n rise to high political pool boas through uiisrepre i Mentation and the ss-.iuit of tho public. Public abuse 1* ail tbat some of <4r4 public men have had to rely upon for their elevation. It has brought to them what taim.t wad-exc.-ut-ive force coutil never have achieved. Many of those who are making grout effort for place and power w ill never succeed, just because they are not of enough importance to lie abused. It is the nature of man to gather about those who are per secuted aud defend them, and they are apt to target the faults of those who are sub jects of attack while attempting to drive Dock the slanderers. Helen Stirk, a Scotch martyr condemned with her husband to death for Christ’s sake, said to her husband: “Rejoice; we have lived together many joy ful (lays, but this day wherein we must die together ought to bo most joyful to us both. Therefore I will not bid you good night, for soon we shall meet in the heavenly king dom.” By the flash of the furnace best Christian character is demonstrated. 1 go into another department, and 1 find that those grout denominations of Chris tians which have been most abused have spread the most rapidly. No good man was ever more vilely maltreated than John Wesley. His followers were hooted at and maligned and called by every detestable name that infernal ingenuity could invent, but the hotter the persecution the more rapid the spread of that, denomination, un til you know what a great host they have become and what n tremendous force for God ami the truth they nre wielding all the world over. It was persecution that gave Scotland to Presbyterianism. It was perse cution which gave our own. land first to civil liberty and afterward to religious freedom. Yea, I may go further back and say it was persecution that gave the world the groat salvation of the Gospel, i The rilmld mockery, the hungering and thirsting, the unjust trial and ignominious death where all the force of hell’s fury was hurled against the cross, wus the introduc tion of that religion which is yet to lx. the earth's deliverance from guilt and suffering, aud her everlasting enthronement among the principalities of heaven. The .State lias sometimes said to the church: “Come, let me take your hand and I will help you.” What has been the result! The church has gone back and has lost, its estate of holiness and has become in effective. At other times the State has said to the church “I will crush you." What has been the result? After the storms have spent their fury, the church, so far from having lost any of its forco, has increased and is worth infinitely more after the as sault than before it. Tho church is far more iudebled to the opposition of civil gov ernment than to its approval. Tho fires of the stake have only been the torches which Christ held in his hand by the light of which the church has marched to her pres ent position. In tho sound of racks and implements of torture I hear tho rumbling of tho wheels of tho Gospel chariot. Scaffolds of martyrdom have lieentho stairs by which the church has ascended. Aqua f ortis is the best test of pure gold. Furthermore, our subject impresses us that sins will come to exposure. Long, long ago had these brothel’s sold Joseph inti) Egypt. They had suppressed the crime, audit was a profound secret well kept by the brothel’s. But suddenly tho secret is out. The old father hears tllat his son is in Egypt, having liecn sold there by tlie malice of his own brothers. How their cheeks must have burned and their hearts sunk at tho flaming out of this suppressed crime. The smallest iniquity lias a thousand tongues, aud they will blab out an exposure. Haul was sent to destroy tho Canaanites, their sheep and their oxen But when he got down there among the pastures ho suw some line sheep and oxen too fat to kill, and so he thought he would steal them. He drove them towards homo, but stopped to report to the prophet how well he lmd executed his commission, when in the distance the sheep began to bleat and the oxen to bellow. The secret was out and Bamuel suid to tho blushing and confounded Saul: “What means the bleating of the sheep that 1 hear and the lowing of the cat tle?” Aye, my hearers, you cannot keep an iniquity quiet. At just tho wrong time the sheep will bleat and the oxen will bellow. Acbun cannot steal the Babylouish garment without getting stoned to death, nor Bene dict Arnold bet ray his country without hav ing his neck stretched. Look over the po lice arrests, these thieves, there burglars, these adulterers, those counterfeiters, these highwaymen, those assassins. They all thought they could bury their iniquity so deep down that it would never come to resurrection. But there was some shoe that answered to the print in tho sand, some false key* found in possession, some bloody knifo that whis pered of the deed, and the public indlgua tion, and the anathema of outraged law hurled hitn into tho Tombs or hoisted him on the gallows. At the close of the battle between the Dauphin of France und the Helvetians, Burchard Mo ik me so elated with the victory that ho lifted his helmet to look off upon the field, when a wounded soldier hurled a stone that struck his un covered forehead and he fell. Bin will always leave some point exposed, and there is no safety in iniquity. Francis the First, King of France, was discussing how it was bast to g-t his army into Italy. Amaril, the court fool, sprang out from the corner and said to the king and his staff officers: “You hart hotter Is; thinking how you will get your army back out of Italy after once you have entered.” fn other words, it is easior lor us to get into sin than to get out of it. WliitcHeld was riding on horseback in a lonely way with some mis sionary money in a sack fastened to tho saddle-bags. A highwayman sprang out from the thicket and put his hand out toward the gold, when Whlteflold turned upon him and said: “That belong* to tho Lord Jesus Christ, touch it if you dare.” and the villain fell back empty handed into the thicket. O, the power of conscience! If offended, it becomes God’* avenging minister. Do not think tlint yon j can hide any grant and protracted sin in your hearts. In an unguarded moment it will slip off of tho lip, or some slight occa sion may for a moment sot ajar tins door of hell that, you wanted to keep closed. But suppose that, in this life you hide it and you get along with that transgression burn lug ill your heart,as a slop on fire within for days may hinder the (linns iroin Imrstiug out by keeping down tUe hatchways, yet at last, hi tho Judgment, that iniquity will blaze out before tho throne of God and tho universe. Furthermore: Iyarn from this Subject the insennrabie con nation between all events, however remote. Lord Hastings wan be headed one year after he had caused the death of the Qu nu’s children, in the very month, the very duy, the very hour, and the very moment. There is wonderful orreision in the Divine judgment*. The universe is only one thought or find. Those things which seem fragmentary and isolated arc only different parts of that one great thought.

Nothing in (tod's universe swings at loose ends. Accidents are only Gist’s way of turning a leaf in the book of his eternal de crees. From our cradle to our grave there is a path ail marked out. Kacii event in our life is connected with overy other event in our life. Our loss may lie the most direct road to our gain. Our defeats and victories are twin brothel’s. The whole direction of your life was changed by some thing which at the time seemed to you a trifle, while some occurrence which seemed tremendous affected you but little. The Rev. Dr. Kennedy, of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, went, into his pulpit one Kabbah and by ft strange freak ot memory forgot (his subject and forgot his text mid in groat embarrassment rose liefore his audience, and announced tho circumstance and declared himself entirely uunble to preach; then launched fortii in a few earnest wools of entreaty and warning, which re sult's! in tho outoroukiug of the mightiest revival of religion ever known in that State, a revival of religion that resulted in churches still standing, and in the‘conver sion of a large number of men who entered tlie Gospel ministry, who have brought their thousands into the kingdom of (iod. God’s plans are magnificent beyond nil compre hension. He mould us, turns and directs us, and we know it not. Thousands of years are to Him but ob the flight of a shuttle. The most terrific occurrence does not make God tremble, and the most triumphant achievement does not lift Him into rapture. That one great thought of God goes oil through tile centuries, and nations rise and fall, and eras pass, and the world itself changes, but God still keeps tho undivided mastery, linking event to event and cen tury to century. To God they are all one event, one history, one plan, one develop ment, one system. Great and marvelous are Thy works, lsird God Almighty. Furthermore, wo learn from this story tho propriety of laying up for the future. During seven years ot plenty Joseph pre iisi’i and for the laiiiine, mid when it came he fiiiil a crowded storehouse. The life of most men in a worldly respect is divided into years of plenty and famine. It is seldom that any man passes through life without at least seven yearn of plenty. During these seven prosperous yearn your business bears a rich harvest. You liardlv know where all the money comes from, it comes so fast. Every bargain you make Heems to turn into gold. You contract few bad debts. You are astounded with large divi dends. You invest more and more capital. You wonder how men can Is: content with a small business gathering in only ithundred dollars where you reup your thousands. These are the seveu years of plenty. Now, Joseph, is the time to prepare for famine, for to almost every man there do come seven years of famine. You will be sick; you will be unfortunate; you will lie defrauded; you will be disappointed; vou will be old, and if you have no store house upon which to full bark you may be famine struck. We have no admiration for this denying one’s self of all present coni fort and luxury for the mere pleasure of hoarding up, tills grasping for the mere pleasure of seeing how large a pile you can get, this always being poor and crump:*!, because as soon as a dollar comes in it is sent out to see if it can’t find another dollar to carry home on its back : but there is an intelligent and noble-minded forecast which we lovo to see in men who have fiunilies and kindred <lepeudont upon them for the blessings of education ami homo. God (loads us to the insects for a lesson, which while they do not stint, themselves in the present, do not forget their duty to forestall the future: "Goto the ant, thou sluggurd, consider her ways and bn wise, which, having no guide, overseer, or ruler, pro videth her meat in the summer and gfttheretli h*r food in the harvest.” Now there are two ways of laying up money; the one by Investing it in stork ana deimsit ing it in banks ami loaning it on bond ami mortgage. The other way of laying up money is giving it away. He is the safest who makes IxitTi of these in vest menu. Hut the man who <ievotes none of Ills gain to the cause of Christ, ami thinks only of his own comfort and luxury, is not safe. 1 don’t care how Ins money is invested. Ho acted as the rose if it should say: “I will hold my breath and no one shall liavo a snatch of fragrance from mo until next week, and then 1 will set nil the garden afloat with the aroma." The time comes but having lieon without frugraneo for so long, it has nothing then to give. Hut above all lay up treasures in heaven. They never depreciate in value. They never are at a discount. They are always available. You may feel safo now with your present yearly income, but what will such an income lie worth after you are deoil I Others will get it. Perhaps some of them will quarrel about it Is fore you are buried. They will lio right glad that you arc deoil. They are only waiting for you to die. What then will all your accumulation lie worth if you could gather it all into your bosom uml walk up w.th it to heaven's gntef It would not purchase your admission; or, if allowed to enter, it wouid not buy you a crown, or a robe, and the poorest saint in heaven would look down anil say: “Wheredid that pau jier come from *" Finally: Learn from this subject that in in every famine there Is a storehouse. Up the loug row of building pil and to the very roof with corn come the hungry multitudes, and Joseph commanded that their sucks and their wagons Isi 111 led. Tut- world bus I sum blasted. Ut'erv green thing bus withered under the tou'bof sin. From all continents and islands ami zones conies up the groan of dying millions. Over tropical spioe-grove, and SilxM tan ico-lmt, and Hindoo jungle the hliurlit bus fallen. The famine is universal. But, glory Is? to God! there is a great storehouse.

SOCIALISTS SHOW THEIR POWER IN GOTHAM’S MEETINGS. A Resolution of Sympathy With th® Condemned Anarchists of Chicago Would Have Had Many Supporters If It Had Been Put Before the Con* tral Labor Union. Nsw York, Kept. 18.—George A. Schil ling, of Chicago, was present at the Central lalmr Union’s meeting to-day, and was de sirous of presenting the case of the con di'inncd Anarchism to the body, with a view of enlisting the Union’s labors in half of the convicted, but interior disputes pi-evented tho visitor from carrying out his mission. Tho schism between the Progress! re labor party (Socialists) and George jieople broke out and caused a great uproar. Mathew Barr, of the Tin, Sheet and Iron Workers, presided. There were ahout 200 delegates present at the roll call. Mr. Schilling was "a special guest.” SYMPATHY FOR THE ANARCHISTS. Before the mooting oiiened there was read a letter .sign's 1 by a dozen representative lalsir organization men, including Samuel Gam|iera, President of the Federation of Trades, and James E. Quinn, Master Work man of District Assembly 49, Knights of Isitior, expressing sympathy with the con demned. Delegate Johnson, of the Industrial Isvtguo, arose, after tho transaction of soma routine business, and staled that a commit tee of one from Chicago desired to be heard on n matter of great importance to the working people of the entire countin'. Be fore Mr. Johnson got through another del egate claimed that a resolution that was in the regular order had lean overlooked. SOCIALISTS DUMBFOUNDED. Mr. Johnson withdrew temporarily, and the Socialists were dumbfounded to hear Ed. Coughlin, of the Progressive Painters, offer a resolution to the effect that th* Central t,ahor Uniop should refuse to allow its name to lie used by any political body. The Socialists felt that the blow was aimed at them, and the Ooorgites cheered wildly. Disturbance reigned for nearly ten minutes, when a motson to table tha motion was declared lost amid vigorous op |)OHltiOn. OUGHT TO BE GLAD. Mr. Emrich, of the Furniture Workers' Union, at last got the floor and shouted that tlm delegates ought to bo glad that, a politi cal [iartv that would take tip tho principles of tha'Central Labor Union had lieen found. Hugh Whorisky made a row by moving the previous question, and Mr. Emrich called him a coward for *o doing. “Your position will not stand debate,” cried Mr. Emrich. The resolution was adopted by a vote of fl 2to 44, whereupon the defeated Pro gressive:. set up a cheer of defiance. Equally hearty clieor# for tho United labor party were given in response. SCHILLING NOT HEARD. Tho meeting adjourn'd without offering a chance to Mr. Schilling to be heard. Mr. Schilling afterward said that he was not 'llacoun.god by lh" rumpus, as he had been assured that all the delegates were in accord with his mission, that of “obtaining justice for our friends in Chicago.” “Cupt. Black.” Mr. tSoiiilling added, “will coiue to New York from Ottawa on Tues day, and we shall then have a conference with Gen. Pryor and another gentleman whose name I am not at liberty to give.” A ROMANCE OF SIBERIA. How a Ldarned Professor Became • Wood Gutter In OC ,tral Asia. A civil engineer, who hue just returned from Central Asia, whore hesjiontsix years, relates the following incident, rays an Odessa Letter to the Isnvant Herald:— The monotony of his residence in those re mote provinces was broken by an occasional hunting expedition into Silxiriu. On one of these trapping exiieditions, which included u younger member of the grand ducal fam ilies, the [>arty were one evening belated in a nine forest, at some distance from the day’a bivouac. They were utterly astray. A stentorian view halloo brought to the assist ance and guidance of the party a wood-cut ter - an old iimn of some thi ee-score year*, with tangled locks, coarse kartau and bark swatliod tect. Under the old mnn's guidance the iiarty found a rude hut, a charcoal Are and simple cooking utensils. The engineer noticed that tho old woodcutter, when unobserved., scanned his face rather attentively. He Usik a qniot opjsirtunity of asking the old inan if no observed in him any rescmbluna* to someone he ha. i previously known. “A very strotig resemblance,’’ was the reply. “VVere you not some fifteen years ago a stu dent of tho Rfchelevski Oymnase in Odessa f" Tho engineer answered affirma tively. “And do you not remember Prof. r “Certainly; he was a man be loved by every student, in his class. 1 shall always remember kindly the amiable and learned professor who disappeared so sud denly and mysteriously from Odessa. But what do you know of himf The old wood-cutter for the first time smiled; the heavy mustache and board had hidden the lines of tho mouth in repose. The young engineer had not forgotten the peculiar sod sweetness of his old profes sor's smile. The ragged and pictureaqaa wood-cutter and the former learned prof feaor of Hati-crlt and comparative philol ogy we.re tho same.
