fashionable life, who make a dazzling
show for a few hours, and then sink to
be seen no more. These angels are seen
in all our hospitals, both public and pri.
vate, and in other places where their
services are required, irrespective of
the distinctions Of name, religion, party,
lclimc, or nation.
Indeed the Roman Catholic Church is
infinitely superior to any Protestant de
nomination in its provisions of mercy
and charity for the poor. They seek to
inspire the most wretched and forlorn
with those hopes that point to better
world"
Of the treatment of the poor by Cath
olics, he says:
"No Protestant denomination, with
the exception of the Methodists, have
suitably remembered the poor. This re-
mark was once made by distinguished
|prelate of the Church Of England. In
our Northern cities there is an actual ri
valry as to which church shall be the
most exclusive. And one congregation
has erected a separate building for the
|poor to worship in. Churches are con-
|structed on purpose to shut out the poor
The peWs are sold like the boxes to a
theatre, to the highest bidder The
poor can never enter there. Oh, what
a commentary on the christianity of our
times !! After spending the week in fol-
|ly and dissipation, the aristocratic
among us can repair to a fashionable
|place of worship on the Lords day, to
crafty love of dress, to indulge that
wicked, pitiful vanity, which one act of
religious worship would annihilate for
ever. / do not know where all this will
end; but do know that Protestantism
will soon go down into the dust and
darkness Of death, unless it changes its
entire ecclesiastical plans and policies
Eternal honor to the Roman Catholic
church for practically observing the dis
tinctive precept of our religion, to re-
member and bless the poork For the
larger the charity of a church ihe near
er It is to God.

The avoWed principle which
the foundation of the law of natioIHH-e: ~
contained in the Divine command ths
call things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do you even 50 to
them" Tried by this unerringF rule, we
should be severely condemned if we
shall not use our best exertions to arrest
such expeditions against our feeble sis
ter republic of Nicaragua. One thing
is very certain, that people never exist
ed who would call any other nation to q
stricter account than we should ourselv-
es, for tolerating lawless expeditions
from their shores to make war upon any
portion of our territories.
By tolerating such expeditions, we
shall soon lose the high character which
we have enjoyed ever since the days OF
Washington, for the faithful performance
of our international obligations and du-
ties, and inspire distrust against us a.
mong the members Of the great family
of civilized nations.
But if motives of duty were not suf-
fcienN 10 restrain us from engaging in
such lawless enterprise, our evident IN
terest ought to dictate this policy
These expeditions are the most efectual
mode of retarding American progress;
although to promote this is the avowed
object of the leaders and contributors in
such undertakings.
It is beyond question the destiny of
our race to spread themselves over the
continent of North America, and this at
no distant day, should events be per-
mitted to take their natural course. The
tide of emigrants will flow to the South
and nothing can eventually arrest Its
progress. If permitted to go there,
peacefully, Central America will soon
contain an American population, which
will confer blessings and benefits as well
upon the natives as their respective gov
ernments. Liberty, under the restraint
of law, will preserve domestic peace;
whilst the different transit routes across
the Isthmus in which we are so deeply
interested will have assured protectloh.
Nothing has retarded this happy con,
dition Of affairs so much as the unlaWiuI
expeditions which have been fitted out
in the United States to make war upon

not recognize General Walker as pris-
oner; that it had no directions to give
concerning him; and that it is only
through the action of the judiciary that
he could be lawfully held in custody to
answer any charges that might be made
against him.
In thus far disappearing Of the con-
duct of Commodore Paulding, no infer
ence must be drawn that | am less de-
termined than l have ever been to exc
cute the Neutrality Laws Of the United
States. This is my imperative duty,
and shall continue to perform it by all
meaps which the constitution and the
laws have placed in my power.
My opinion of the value and import
ance Of these laws corresponds entirely
with that expressed by Mr.. Monroe in
his message to Congress Of December
Y, 1919. That wise, prudent and patri-
otic statesman says: 1t is Of the high
est Importance to our national character
and indispensable to the morality of our
citizens that all violations of our neu-
trality should be prevented. No door
should be left open for the evasin Of our
laws, no opportunity afforded to any who
may be disposed to take advantage of it
to compromise the honor Of the nation"
The crime of setting on foot or provi-
ding the means for military expedition
within the Uuited States to make war
against foreign State with which we
are at peace. is one of an aggravated
and dangerous character, and early en-
gagged the attention of Congress. Wheth-
er the executive government possesses
any, or whatpower under the Constitu
ton, independently Of Congress, to pre-
vent OR punish this and similar offences
against the law of nations, was a sub
|ject which engaged the attention Of our
most eminent statesmen in the tame of
the administration of General Washing
ton, and OH the occasion Of the French
Revolution. The act Of Congress of
June 5th 1894, fortunately removed all
the difficulties on this question which
had therefore existed. The 5th and 7th
sections of this act, which relate to the
present question, are the same in sub
stance with the 9th and 9Th sections Of

The shadows lay along Broadway,
Twas near the twilight tide,
And slowly there a lady fair
Was walking in her paide
Alone walked she, yet viewlesly,
Walked spirits either side.
Peace charmed the street beneath her feet,
And honor charmed the air,
And all astir looked kind on her
And called her good and fair
For all God ever gave to her,
She kept with chary care.
She keeps with care her beauties rare
From lovers warm and true,
For her heart was cold to all but gold,
And the rich name not to WOO,
All, honored well are charms to sell
When priests the selling do!
Now, walking there was one more fair
A slight girl lily pale
And she had unseen company
To make the spirit quail
'Twixt want and scorn she walked forlorn,
And nothing could avail.
No mercy now can clear her brow
For this wQrld's peace to pray
For, as love'sWild prayer dissolves in air,
Her woman's heart gave way;
And sin forgiven by Christ in Heaven,
By man is cursed away.

COMMITTEE ON CLEANING STREETS.

The Committee Oh Cleaning Streets met yesterday
afternoon Councilman DUgN in the chair.
Mr.. DowsING, Superintendent of Sanitary lnspec-
ton, testified that he was undecided to whether it
would be better for the city to let the street cleaning
out by contract, or to have It done tyhe CITY In
specto-. He favored a contract of five years dura
tion-such contract would pay the contractor; he
could then afford to make large investment for thor.
ough machinery. He thought the same party should
remove the ofia garbage, ashes and street dirt The
eha pays revenue OF 81, 200 year to the city, The
oa contractor ought to be able to derive handsome
revenue from his contract The streets could be
cleaned as cheaply by the present mode as by any
other. The appropriation for 1851 was $500
Ebpg spent of this by the lst Of May 100000. The
total expenditures of the year were $296, 1000 He
thought that the charter gave the City Inspector the
right to draw the specifications for cleaning streets,
contracts of course to be confirmed by the Common
Council. II man had al the street cleaning to do
he thought the public would be benehtted. Inc grea
distance between the dumping grounds and piers was
nuisance, and very costly one To the city. There
should be more whsrves for dumping street manure
and garbage.
ARTHUR MOODY had been interested in the purchase
Of dirt since 1852 His experience was, that the city
always the loser by contracts. Contractors took
contracts for cleaning streets got their pay and then
threw them up 10 be executed by the city. Small con-
tractors with tive or ten men and half dozen carts did
better than the more extensive contractors In his
Judgment, when the city did the work it cost great
deal more than when it was done by private hands.
Ihe witness then went on to extol Mr.. Mortons ad-
ministraton OF the street business tho only
one of late years, in which the city was not cheated
Witness then tried to illustrate how the cartmen man.
aged to get double pay for their loads but 20 far a.
his cloudy showing went the contractors and not the
city, were cheated.
Mr.; SMITH of the Sweeping Machine Company ia
yored contracting the work and long contracts enab
ng contractors To provide for the thorough execution
OF their contracts He was ready enter into con-
tract and give security at any time and that he would
not exceed the amount appropriated for the wear in
the present tax levy.
