How New Yorkers and Philadelphians must envy the jieople of Baltimore the rest from [>olitical turmoil they are now en joying! i Dr. McGlynn indignantly denies the re port that he had expressed repen to nee for his opposition to church discipline. He is still prosperous. If Gov. Gordon don't make votes for the Democratic party in Ohio, it will not be tie cause his eloquence isn't of a very tender and touching kind. Deserted by the Mugwumps and openly indorsed by Ben Butler, it is feared the Democrats of Massachusetts cannot lieat the odds against them. It is said the sugar trust is about to fall to pieces, because the big refiner -will not al lot the little ones a fair share of the Isxidle. Honest men may yet get their dues. The proposition which is being agitated in Boston to sell eggs by weignt appears to be received very favorably. If it will insure protection against eggs which are known by their odor, it ought to be adopted with out delay. _ The Democrats of a Grand Army Post at Peoria, 111., have been subjected to so many insults by the Republican majority that they have withdrawn. There is hardly a pretense any longer that the organization has not degenerated into a mere partisan political machine. The Base Ball Brotherhood announces it* determination to force the League manage ment to recognize it, which it has heretofore refused to do. As the Brotherhood includes most of the famous players, the teams next year will be made up of new material, un less an agreement is reached or the Brother hood breaks down. One good result of the discoveries made by “Nellie Blye” in her sensational expedi tion through the hospitals for the insane on Blackwell’s Island is that the appropriation for doctors and attendants has been con siderably increased. The officers in charge now probably congratulate themselves that the sham mad woman made them a visit. Gen. Sewell, lately a Republican Senator from New Jersey, speaks of the “vindictive and virulent” Republicans of his State, who will vote for Democrat* rather than certain leaders of ttieir own party. Perhaps they know those leaders well and are patriots— for there are patriots, though mistaken ones, in the Republican party. The General is, perhaps, a little soured by disappointment. A state of affairs is said to exist along the Rio Grande which recalls Italian brigand age of fifty years ago. A number of Mexi can bandit* have seized and held for ran som more than one rich Texas ranchman, and to save their lives the money was oaid. The .State Rangers have been ohderod to the scene, and will hardly leave anything lor international negotiation if they can catch the outlaws. The fight Mahone is making in Virginia is one of desjieration. The last House of Rep resentatives of the State Legislature was made up of seventy Democrats and thirty Republicans. If the political complexion of the Senate should remain the same, which is thought probable, Mahone must elect fifty-nine members of the new House to in sure his return to the United States Senate. It can be seen that he has little chance of success. The MoEnery-Nicholls quarrel seems to be even hotter in Northern Louisiana than about New Orleans. The editors of the rival papers at Shreveport have been try ing to fight a duel with shotguns for several days. Some of the most prominent men in the State, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, have been ar rested in connection with the affair. The prospect* of the Republicans have not been so bright in years. Boston manifested its appreciation of Sul livan by sending two steamboats full of people to accompany him down the buy' to his steamer. The effect was somewhat marred, however, by a constable arresting the hero a* an absconding debtor just as he boarded the vessel. The plan was a shrewd ono, and the money \jas forth coming, but it must have involved a great deal of humiliation to a gentleman of Mr. Sullivan’s standing. The Clersry and Workingmen. Henry George and Dr. McGlynn are re | ceiving support from unexpected sources. | A day or two ago a meeting of clergymen j and laymen of the Episcopal Church was | held in the lecture room of Calvary Church, 1 New York, for the purpose of disclosing questions relating to the interests of work ingmen. Some of the speakers, and es pecially Bishop Huntington, of Central : New York, paid a high tribute to the un | selfish devotion which he asserted Dr. Mc- Glynn and Henry George were exhibiting in behalf of laboring men. Quite a num ber of those who took part in the proceed ings were supjiorters of Henry George, and believers iu iiis theory resjiecting the taxa tion of land. It is remarkable that prominent clergy men and laymen of the Episcopal, or any Oilier church should form an association to encourage men like Henry' George and Dr. McGlynn. There is no fault to be found with them for trying to assist workingmen, but it is not easy to understand how they can believo that by encouraging Dr. Mc- Glynn and Henry George they are helping the poor. Henry George has no plan for advancing the interests of the workingmen but his scheme of land taxation, and that is so improbable that there is no probab lity that it will ever lie seriously considered bv those entrusted with the power to make and change laws In fact, Henry George him self is unable to explain how his land taxing scheme can be made to benefit either the poor or the rich. Ho undertook to do so a few days ago m n public discussion with one of the leaders of the Progressive party, and failed so completely that those of his admirers who were present did not have the courage to make excuses for him. There is nothing in Henry George's career that shows that he is anything more than a shrewd demagogue. It is a question whether his pretended sympathy for the poor is genuine. Ho is a persistent office-seeker, and ever since he has been in New York he has been endeavoring to find ways by which he might escape poverty. He pretends to lie opening the way for others to escape it, but it is noticeable that lie is chiefly con cerned about himself. Dr. McGlynn is a disappointed ex-priest, who was rather unceremoniously lifted out of the comfortable place which he occupied in tlio Catholic church because of his flagrant acts of disobedience. There appears to be some ground for saying that his disobedi ence was the result of unsatisfied ambition. It may be that he is a little more sincere than Henry George in his professions of u desire to help workingmen, but, admitting that he is, the prospect that he will accom plish anything for them is not promising. There ure labor problems, of course, and there always have been. Men like Henry George, I)r. McGlynn and those who met in Calvary church, however, will not solve them. One level-headed man like Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is worth to genuine working men a hundred such men as they are. If those who met in Calvary church want to do something that will help the ]ioor let them direct their efforts to making the poor foal comfortable in the grand churches, where the display of wealth unfits the mind for divine worship, and repels those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. One of the clergymen present at the Cal vary church meeting said that he feared that some of the clergy thought a good rich man a little better than a good poor man. His fears are not without foundation. If those clergymen who are so anxious to help laboring men will set themselves to work to make leas distinct the lines which separate the rich from the poor in their churches they will accomplish more for the class they seek to benefit than they will by com mending Henry George and Dr. McGlynn. Careless Legislation. Although the Legislature was in session 157 days it does not appear to have studied very thoroughly some of the bills it passed. The Governor and Attorney General are finding such evidences of carelessness in its work that it would not be surprising if a good many of the bills that were passed should be vetoed because of defects that violate the constitution. Two important bills which are of great interest in this sec tion of the State have already been vetoed. One of them authorized the sale of the court house site of this county, and the other pro vided for the protection of the oyster fish eries. It seems that the court house bill covered two distinct subjects. It provided for the sale of the court house site and gave the United States jurisdiction over it. The constitution requires that no bill shall deal with more than one subject. According to the opinion of the Attorney General the oyster fishery bill contains no provisions for carrying it into effect, and is unconstitu tional because no limitation is placed upon the penalties which it provides. Doubtless most of tho bills are drawn by those who are unskilled in that kind of work. It is expected that the judiciary committees of the two houses will put them into proper shape, ami if they fail to make them comply with the l%ul requirements there are enough lawyers in the legislature outside of these committees to point out their defects. The people complain of tho long sessions of the Legislature and its cost, but if much of what it does at such a great expense is worthies*, it is a question whether it wouldn’t be advisable to incur the addi tional expense thut would lie necessary to provide an advisory board of experts in legislation that would so frame the bills that they would stand the inspection to which the Governor aud Attorney Genorui subject them. Tho President has a female cousin, as well as a sister, who aspires to literary fame, but she will have to wait awhile. Her name is Miss Cynthia Cleveland, and site lives in Detroit. She has written a book, nominally a story, but really an attack on certain prominent Michigan politicians so fierce that the publisher, on the advice of his lawyer, has suppressed it, fearing suits for libel. The lady seems to have a love for aggressive politics, and with the advertisement her hook has had she ought to make liotli fame aud money, if she can find a publisher. She may prove a thorn in her cousin’s side, however, as the public doesn’t tuko kindly to the woman in politics. Carl Schurz’s reply in a speech the other night to Senator Evarts’ “three cent joke,” to the effect that a surplus of #100,0(10,000 only meant a tax of three cents a week for each person in the United States, was an effective one. He said it was not the col lection of the surplus whicli would do the greatest harm, but, the spending of it, which would sap aud undermine the very founda tion of the government. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1887. A New England Pharisee. Senator Hoar protests that he is no enemy of the South; indeed, he claims to be that section’s particular friend. To make this plain ho says: “The chief part of iny public life, as those who have lieer. in the public service with me will testify, has hen en gaged in framing and advocating measures which seemed to me to bo for the interests of that section of the country alone.” Nobody will dispute Mr. Hoar’s state ment os to the manner in which he has spent bis time, and perhaps few would question the honesty of his motives. Almost every body in this part of the country, however, to benefit which he says he has spent so much time and labor, thinks he has worse than wasted a great deal of effort on busi ness with which he had nothing particularly to do. Mr. Hoar would probably think it the height of arrogance in a Georgia Sen ator to devote a long political life to the framing an 1 advocating of measures to im prove the political and social well-being of Massachusetts; and Senator Hoar would be right. What would b true of the Georgia Sen ator in such a case is true of Senator Hoar. He knows a great deal, it is to lie supposed, about his own State, and he certainly has lit tle knowledge of the South other than what he has gained from books amj during short expedition* into its territory on iuvestigat mg committees and like errands. It would, therefore, be the part of wisdom for him to task his intellect in devising means to bene fit the State which sends him to Congress, and if it is so happy and well-off that he cannot think of any measure which would make its people better and richer, his con science need not hurtliini if be live a life of idle dignity. He would be a more useful Senator to the people who are responsible for him should he determine on such a course, and he would prove his professed friendship for the South best in that way. It will be bard for Senator Hoar to oil mit that Southern men know better than he does what is good for their States, but that is really true. And they think, too, that Senator Hoar knows better what is good for New England. They are familiar with the attitude of Senator Hoar toward their section. It is not peculiar to him, but is common to almost all statesmen of the New England civilization. It is the pedagogic attitude, with primer in one hand and birch rod in the other. It takes a vast deal of self-conceit to assume such an attitude towurd the whole world, an 1 it is apt to ex cite anger and contempt i.i men who can not escape being afflicted with it. Would it not be well for Senator Hoar to be a little modest, and wait on the wisdom of Southern statesmen in dealing with Southern questions? Their Protests Heard. The loud protests which Chicago and other cities are making against the admis sion into the country of cholera-infected immigrants has induced the Quarantine Commissioners of New York to ask the Sec retary of the Treasury whether or not the government has authority to prohibit the landing of such immigrants at any port in this country, and to send back to the places from whence they came any who may in the future be brought here. The govern ment has such authority, and the Secretary of the Treasury will use it if the local quar antine authorities ask him to do so. It is a pretty late day for the qi tarantine authorities of New York to think about shutting out immigrants from cholera in fected ports. Those who arrived there a few days ago on the Independente are now located in a half dozen cities. Because there had been no deaths on the voyage the vessel was not detained at quarantine more than a day or two, although many of the immigrants were from tho cholera-stricken city of Palermo. The vessel wus fumigated, but there is no evidence that the personal baggage of the immigrants was disinfected. When the warm weather comes next snni iner the health authorities of the cities where these immigrants are living will be on the lookout for cholera. In 1873 cholera was introduced into this country by immi grants who arrived on a vessel on which there were no deaths during the voyage. If New York doesn’t ask that her port be closed to immigrants from cholera-infected places other cities ought to do so for their own protection. There is no need why they should run tho risk of having tho seeds of pestilence distributed among their people simply because the obstinate authorities at New York want to have their way in the matter. It seems that the Board of Health of New York city has asked the newspapors not to publish anythiug relating to cholera in that city if it should break out there. Tho reason they give is that the business of the city would be injured. To save a little business the port is kept open to vessels from cholera infected ports, and if the [testilence is intro duced into the city the fact is to be kept secret and other cities not given a chance to protect themselves against it. New York will find that she cannot carry out such a selfish policy successfully. Her Board of Health is making exteusive preparations to check any outbreak of cholera that may occur. A London newspaper correspondent who went to a shoe shop to get a pair of boots which he had ordered, found that they were not finished, and the proprietor gave as ex cuse for his want of promptness in filling the order that his men had quit work for the day to join in a parade of the unem ployed. Tins incident goes to prove that there is not so much real distress among London workingmen as has been claimed, and that the late demonstrations have been largely political in character. Tho daily parades are now said to have become ri diculous, because their false pretense is so patent. The last number of Henry George’s Standard is bi.;.i full of enthusiasm. Among other things lie says it is entirely possible that the United Labor party shall hold the electoral vote of New York next year. That vote will be the most important thing in America next year, and if Mr. George can hold it he will be able to make a trade which will forever abolish his poverty, even if it should be necessary to divide the profits with quite a number of other leaders. But Mr. George’s hopes blind his judgment, as he will find ten days from now. The deed of gift of the America’s cup to the New York Yacht Club has been so changed by Mr. George L. Schuyler that many yachtsmen believe there will never Ik? another challenge for it, as it so handi caps the challenger that it would lie almost impossible tor him to win. If it should have this effect it would boa matter for much, regret, as not only would exciting sport lie missed, but it would look as if American yachtsmen were afraid to give rivals a lair chance. CURRENT COMMENT. His Services Forgotten. From the Philadelphia Times (Den i.) Virginia has given Lee a monument, but New York has none for Grant. Somebody must have interrupted New York's mud money hunt long enough to tell it that Grant surrendered to lee. The Froth of Sentiment on the Wave of Feeling. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The Georgians received Jefferson Davis yes terday at file Macon .State Fair with enthusi astic acclamation. This is the froth of senti ment on top of the wave of Southe-n feeling. Beneath it is a calm and settled regard for the restored Union and old-time amity of North and South. Flattened Out by a Protect'on Crank. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.) Henry George was badly downed in his recent discussion with the Socialistic editor Shevitch. And yet tne Russian disputant incidentally pro nounced in favor oi a high protective tariff: If such a crank can llatlen out the land-national - izer, complete pulverization at tie- very least would he the fate of George if he should encoun ter in debate a man of common sense. A Protectionist View of Commercial Union. From the Philadelphia Press (Rep.) If Canada means by "commercial union” that the Dominion is ready to come inside of a con tinental protection ring fence, the doors are wide open night and day; but if some reciproc ity seneme i meant under which protec tiou shall be sacrificed for a part of our pro ducers inj'exchange for assumed advantages, the proposed plan has no chance of adoption in the Senate, and little even in the House.

A Texas jury gave a verdict of sl9 75 in favor of a man whose dog had been rim over and killed by a railway train. The original Bartlett pear trees, named after Enoch Bartlett, still stand on bis grounds, near Boston, and are over 50 years old. Twenty years ago anew top was grafted upon these old trees and they still bear fine fruit. Glarsblowers' cheeks become thin and lose their elasticity by the continued blowing. They hang down like inverted pock- ts, and grow useless It is a matter of record, it is said, that both here and in Europe glass workers have blown boles through their cheeks. The Pitcairn Islanders, the descendants of British mutineers, still live happily and are prosperous. A shipwrecked man from the United States has married one of the natives. The islanders still keep the old bounty names Young, MeEvo.v and Christian—and want little except nails and fishhooks. M. Louise Thomas and Elsie P. Buckingham are two women of business. The first is one of the most successful bee raisers in the country, and it is said that her bees produce lO.ood pounds of honey yearly.

A blanket mill, the first on the African con tinent, has just been opened at Cape Town, worked by Caffir girls, who receive 24c. a day. The report of the Kaipiug colliery in Norm China, made by Kwong Yung Wang, gives 2do. as the daily pay for engine men, 15e. for miners and 18c. for door and switch boys The cotton and jute mills of Bombay pay their operatives from 10c. to 19c. a day. Lieut. TV. H. Schuktze writes: “As we ap proached Verehoyansk (Northei Siberia) tie cold was almost unbearable, compelling a stop at nearly every inhabited native hut, not only on account of ourselves, but more owing to the reindeer, which suffered visibly during the low temperature. Breathing was at times difficult, and on Jan. 10 and 11, 1884, the temperature sunk to 00° Celsius—corresponding to 86.80° Fahrenheit below zero. This is the coldest tem perature ever observed.” The shore along Bantam lake, near Water bury, Conn., has long been famous for the In dian spearheads and other instruments found. These have been so numerous that antiquarians are led to believe battles were fought there, and have been puzzled that no graves have been re vealed. Last week several workmen, while dig ging, came across several hones of men mingled with some rare Indian weapons. They had been buried in a sitting position. One grave re vealed an unusually large collection, and was probably that of a chieftain. The weapons showed no signs of use. Reports from London show that the Poor Guardians have 91,000 paupers on the parish rolls compared with 71,000 for the correspond ing week of last year. The reported statement of the Becretany of the Organized Charity As sociation to the effect that there are 1,000,000 persons in the metropolis “whose condition is one of acute suffering and distress," must surely lie an exaggeration. That would he a fifth of the population. There are much more trustworthy statistics accessible. The Poor Guardians' returns, however, are sufficient to prove that the distress is unusual. An increase of 20,000 in the pauper list represents distress among a much larger number of people, many of whom wonld refuse, under any circumstan ces, to go to the workhouse. The Dog Was the Thief. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. For a week or so past Mrs. I. K. Hammer, of North Hiland avenue, East End, has missed small articles from about the house. Overcoats and wraps have disappeared from the rack in the hall, table-covers have disappeared, and va rious other articles have had a habit of not be ing in their place when wanted A domestic was suspected and discharged, but still the rob beries did not cease. On Friday Mrs. Hammer appealed to the policeman on the beat, and asked that he keep a special watch on the house. On Saturday morning she was sitting behind a screen in the dining room when a large New foundland dog, which had been the pet of the family for years,marched demurely in. picked up a hat from the table, and walked out again. Mrs. Hammer followed him. He carried the hat out the front door and around the rear of the house, where he crawled under the porch. A few minutes later he came out without the hat. An investi gation under the porch brought to light every article that had been missed during the week The dog had carried them as far under the porch as he could go, and had made for himself a nice soft bed.

White, was yesterday held in SI,OOO bail for the action of the United States Court, on the charge of ill-treating seamen on board the schooner. Edward Phoebus, the mate, was com mitted to jail on the same charge. The evi dence showed that the mate struck one of the men, named Fogarty, with an oyster culling hammer, splitting his head part ly open, and kicked and otherwise abused the colored cook, an old man named Cox, in a shocking manner. Tabbs, another colored man, was beaten with a rope's end. The old man Cox, a Maryland negro of the old school, gave his testimony in a style which made all laugh. In the first place, he complained of being called up at 1 o’clock at night to cook. “Den,'’ said he, "I was astannin’ Tougside tie bow, when he mate he called out, ‘Loose dc throat latch!’an’ 1 jes' grabbed one ob de ropes an’ pulled, when he called out ag’in, ‘You black , let go dar, an’ pull on de ground-hog.’” He meant ‘'down-haul.” “Den” continued Cox, "I cotcbed anoder rope, when de mate he calls ag in, ‘You black , pull down de fo'peak!’ Den I jes’ grabbed alt de ropes, an’ down comes de mast, nigh on to de mate’s head. Den I knew de Lord was on my side.” “Were you scared?" asked District Attorney Hayes. "Was I skeered? Lord bress you, honey, I was dat skeered dat 1 begin to pray. De water was a rolin’ up, an’ rollin' up, an’ 1 jes’ thought I was going to be drowned, sure. Skeered? Yes boss,l was dat sjteered I even prayed for dat man dere”—pointing to the mate. You nover were on deep water before?” said Mr. Hayes. “No.” said Cox. “De onliest water I eber crossed befo’ was Jones’ Falls, an' dat was'way ’bove de city. Neher was on de deep water befo’ boss, an’ praise de Lord, I will neber do so no mo'.” [Laughter.] What Cox meant by pulling on the "tliroat latchi" s not known. Zola and His Viennese Novel.
