THE RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES.

The meetings of the various anniversaries (at Boston
and New York; during the past week have been much
largely attended than usual and the proceedings Of
many Of them have been Of the most interesting character
One sign as to them has been remarked uponthe grow
ing indsposton among the leading sects to mnge with
their affairs judgments the political Of the
time. For the most part violent abuse Of political men,
and may add Of the slave law has been left
the anslavery convention and in cases, when the
slavery question has been handled il done in far
different spirit from that which prevailed year ago.
This sign we interpret to be, that good sense, wider
patriotism and deeper insight into the position Of the
country are fast taking the place Of that wild fanatcism
and local spirit and fppan indignation that charac-
terzed the action Of these meetings only year ago. The
sober secondthought Of the people is at work Reason
supplying the place Of vituperation. The good and
grand old love Of country is coming up in rebuke Of the
spirit Of dsunion and in place OF contention and strife
Of demagogism and fanaticsm, there signs Of
storaon Of harmony and Of intelligent and discriminating
appreciation Of the political duties that belong to the
people as felow-counrymen. This may be depored by
those whose sole dependence riding into place and
power is on the top Of hobby, but il win be hailed
harbnge Of better times by those who elevate the good
Of the country above the desire Of Post

THE LEGISLATURE OF MARYLAND.

The General Assembly of Maryland no doubt
closed its session at twelve o'clock this morning in
pursuance of resolution previously adopted by
both Houses The Baltimore American of yester-
day says that the bill to establish Chancery Court
in the city of Baltimore, having been reconsidered,
is now law. The Assessment Bill has also be-
come law. So also the bill regulating the fees Of
clerks, &c. The bill allowing the Baltimore and
Northwestern Virginia Railroad is law. The sub
ject of reduction of the direct tax was postponed
to next session.

SocIALIsM.-The real object of Socialism is t.
depress and not to elevate the social standard-tc
bring down distinguished greatness to the level Of
irremediable inferiority. This is what is really
meant by the changes which are continually rung
upon those cabastic words elderly and equality
1t is not often, however, (says the Boston Journal
that so frank an acknowledgment of this design is
made as is contained in the following paragraph
from the New York Tribune:
Great men do deal Of harm. They have bedevilled
the world from the beginning We used to regret that
the term Of human life is short We have grown WISER
and rejoice that people die Great men. What
do great do but mischef There is here and there
an exception, but the history of this country and all
countries bear US out in the declaration that the principal
public acts of the greatest have been preemneny

and terrible disease known the plague and which Is
represented being terrific and devastating than
the Asntie cholera The Boston Medical Journal in an
article upon the subject, remarks:
eft is certain from accounts received both here and in
England that the true plague has been introduced into
Madeira, and its work has been really appalling The
question has frequently been agtated, will that dreadful
disease reach this contnent There is reason to be-

AN IMPORTANT CORRECTION.

The Harrisburg Keystone says /" has been asserted
by several papers in the State that the list Of public de-
aulters reported to the last Legislature by the State
Treasurer contained in the gross defalcations to the
amount Of more than SS,000,00O This is foul SANDER
upon the fair fame Of the Commonwealth and any and
all papers that have given currency to it should lose
time in making the proper correction. By adding the
several amounts contained in the Treasures report al
uded to, they come to about $4,000 running through
a period Of near half century and during time when
the receipts and disbursements Of the treasury have
ceeded $500 600 AS these dealcations amount to
less than onesxth Of per cent Of the money handled
during their occurrence they certainly reflect no dscre
dit upon the State upon its receiving and disbursng
officers. 1t would be difficult to find in any country or
in any age where such vast of public money have
been handled with more honesty or with less loss"

FOUND AT LAsT.-Our readers will no doubt remember,
with painful recollection, the fate of the steamer Co
tumbus, belonging to the port of Baltimore, which,
trip in November, 1850 caught fire and entirely de-
stroyed together with Capt HoLLNenEAD her comman-
der, and eight others She belonged to the Powhatan
Steam Packet Company of Baltimore, and had just been
thoroughly repaired The last of her, believe,
was from Smiths Point Lighthouse, in the Chesapeake,
where, in the shape of Of fame, she was going
ahead The company made every effort to ascertain where
she sunk, and have just succeeded in getting infor
nation. Mr. REILLY, of Baltimore, found the wreck on
Saturday last what is called Barn Island BAR of the
mouth of Potomac river, in about four athoms water
Vessels have been dispatched to raise the wreck and
cure the machinery There is melancholy interest
neced with the loss Of this steamer and write of her
with painful reconection.-Sun.

THE IRON INTEREST.

The great iron works Boonton New Jersey were ad
vertsed for sale by the sheriff on the first of this
month These works have been in operation some twen-
tywo years. and have paid for labor On average Of
about $25O,000 annually The stockholders we learn
have received but ten per cent in all their investment
for in good times the money made devoted improv
ing and extending the works. and in bad times they had
none to divide The establishment closes with oil debts
paid except what is owing of its own stockholders
for advances.
In reference to the soppage of this extensive concern
which cannot longer continue business at loss the New
York Tribune remarks:
I'VE know what Free Traders say of such an occur
renee as this The failure proves that these works ought
never to have been constructed Let them sink If they
fall 1T is because we can get iron cheaper elsewhere
But no, gentlemen cheaper in dollars (which are mere
sgns,) we may; cheaper in products actual values we
shall not For much Of the labor whereby these works
produced iron will not be proftaby employed else
where much Of the capital embarked in that production
is destroyed by this disaster many Of the products for
which these iron works made market can never be SO
well sold elsewhere. The farmer who sold his hay there
for twelve dollars per ton mag now get much for il In
New York but il will cost him half of it to bring it here
and sell it; and SO of many things besides What com
pensaon for the loss of his home market to seller of
charcoal cordwood at the iron works Lake Superior
would be like market, at even double price, in Balti-
more when treble the value Of his product would not pay
the expense of transporting it thither?"
The efforts which have been so and per-
sevcrngy made by the adversares ofthe protective policy
to induce the belief that antagonsm of interests exist
ed between manufacturing and agricultural industry have
worked out so large amount Of mischief that must
believe the time for wholesome reaction is at hand The
accidental occurrence Of great scarcity In Europe aris
ing from failure Of crops after the passage of the
tariff act Of 1885, gave occasion to the advocates Of that
measure to take much gori6cation to themselves and
they pointed exutngy to the large foreign demand for
our grain breadstus and provisions illustrative of
the beneficial effects Of the tariff The case presents
different aspect nowan aspect which continue to
grow worse and for the farmer unless the Of
1885, among its other results, be made to
other famine the water. -Baiimors american.

IMPORTANT DECISION ON THE REVENUE LAWS.

The Supreme Court, just previous to its recent
adjournment, decided that the 5Sth and 59th sec
tons of the act of the I'd March, 1893, as regards
rates Of tare and allowance for leakage, are not in
force under the tariff act Of 1916. Under this de
cision in future no allowance beyond actual tare can
be made in estimating the quantity subject to duty
of any VEGETABLE article, and the allowance of two
per cent on liquids for prospective leakage will also
be disallowed but any leakage during the voyage of
importation will still be subject to deduction from
the dutiable value.
The same decision also declares that the consruc-
ton put by the Treasury Department upon the re-
venue laws, regards the imposition of duty, is bind
ing until reversed by judicial proceedings and that
no claim can be made for a return of duties under
such Treasury construction unless the parties, at
the time of entry, made protest specially stating
the ground of objection.
