When she came out, some ladies, who had

Here they started up town, when the wretch
followed them, and did not stOpu the ladies
stopped IN front of the Hall, and got police

On the appearance OF a policeman the man

CHURCH REcoGNiIToN-On Thu 5day af-
ternoon, a council OF the Baptist Churches Of
the city-Was held for the purpose Of organizing
the Elm street Baptist Church, recently cstab-
lshed, at the corner Of Jackson and Elm streets.
The new church represents a mempership Of
20, nd Sunday School OF over 100 scholars.
The council organized AZ o'clock by electing
Rev. T. W. DickersOn, of Marcus Hook,
chairman, and Rev. CA. Harris Of Dover.
CLERK.
On motion Of Mr.. FolweIl, what is generally
known as the New Hampshire confession of
Faith was adopted for the government of the
new church.
The council then psssed unanimous vote
Of recognition, and received the new charge

Subsidy Claims Before Congress.

The Congress that is to meet in De-
cember will have thrust upon its atten-
ton the question of granting subsidies,
aud the application for these subsidies
or other schemes-which, however dis
guised,. will be subsidies nevertheless
will be backed by lobby representing
volume of money for contingent re-
wards that is appalling. Without pre-
tending to include all of them, we call
attention to some of the more important
ones
Bond subsidy to the Mort. Pac. r. RS 10000 900
Bond subsidy to the Southn. Pac. II. R.. 60,c000 600
Assumption of debts of Southern States. 275 100000
Subsidy to Virginia < Jane River Canal. Is. 100000
Same to Georgia & Alabama Canal. 4O,O0OOOO
Purchase of Erie Canal and its enlarget e0.O0OOOO
Purchase of telegraphs. Observation-Disclosures. 10000 900
Refundng cotton Observation-Disclosures. 7o,000OO0
Claims of Southern loyalsts. ......... q, 100000
Against these various schemes the
people have no protection save the in
tegrity and firmness of Congress, ma
iority of whose members last year voted
themselves $1,000 each back pay, and
the same amount Of forward-pay. The
session now approaching promises to be
remarkable for the boldness of the de-
mands and the extent of the money at
the disposal of the corruptionists. The
late financial disaster, which destroyed
so much that was fictitious and dishonest,
has directed the attention of spectators
to Congress for other jobs and subsidies
by which they may recover their losses.

An ASiatic DeSpOt.

Khokand is ruled by genuine Asiat-
ic despot, who bears the name of Khu-
dooan Khan. The gallows stands in
every town, and the bazaar of the CAPT
tai often runs with blood. He has
spared no pains to fortify himself upon
the throne, and the people are SO OPP
pressed and trodden down that all hate
him. An attempt to dethrone the Khan
resulted in the usurper's being impaled
alive, an atrociously cruel punishment,
under which the victim often fingers for
days. Khudoyan Khan then had the
ti4roats of over 600 of the usurper's par
tisan's cut on the bazaar. The REBEL
ion was thought to be at an end, but
according to latest accounts it had
broken out more formidable than be-
fore. The Khan has appealed to Gen.
Kaufman, the Russian commander, for
aid in re-establishing order, but thus
far he has received no encouragement.

What Befell Big Indian who Hadn't
Wooden Leg.

4 band of Grow Indians, en- route to
Washington, stopped at Chicago, and. OF
course, visited the Exposition. What
befeil one of them is thus related by
the Times:
When the Indians reached the gallery
they sang several hymns, and danced wal
breakdowns till the arches trembled.
Then they descended and went to the
north end to look at the machinery.
They were several bnzz-saws, large cir
cular ones, revolving at the rate of ever
so many thousand times in minute or
more. The Indians were deeply inter
ested spectators, and O Milwaukee man
with wooden leg noticed them. He
had often read in his Sunday school
books that the North American Indian
is great imitator, and he determined
to test the truth of the assertion. So
what did this Milwaukee man do but
stick his left timber before the saw, and
in a twinkling the lower part, boot and
all, was lying on the floor. To say that
Thin Billy was astonished would be but
mild way of EXPRESSING his feelings.
He looked at the boot, and he looked at
the man. Then he tragically remarked
in his own native language, 6 1t shall
never be said that pale face was more
heroic than an Indian chief. He
folded his blanket more closely about
his body, gave look of scorn at the
surrounding whites, and then stuck one
of his legs in front OF the swift-revolv-
ing cutter. But no sooner had he done
SO than he was more astonished than
ever. He gave yell, and, frightened
nearly to death, the attendant quickly
shut off the steam, and the saw ceased
its revolutions. Perhaps it was not de-
molished by the other Indians There
wasn't piece left big enough for fine
comb; and the attendant aforesaid mar
rowly escaped with his life. In the
meantime the Milwaukee man had dis
appeared, and has not been seen since.
As Blackfoot and his friends were leav-
ing the hall, he was heard to say:
"Osaw mileg oph," which interpreted
means that a resident of Milwaukee had
better not go West.

exert, it is evident enough that on di-
rect issue with the people they must in
evltably go to the wall. Pos
slbly the magnates who control these
corporations may find food for reflection
IN the results of the recent elections
MitCdukee Sentinel.
THE exchange of our products with
each other has been SO burdened with
the cost of transportation that labor is
robbed of its profits, and the fertile
earth is forced to produce three bushels
of grain as the price of getting two to
market. The remedy of this evil is
with the people. This section of
the Constitution gives to the Legislature
power to control railroads and other cor
porations, and to protect the people
from extortion and oppression at their
hands. 1t is my opinion that the time
has now come to exercise this power
delegated twenty-five years ago to the
Legislature by the people for their pro-
decentralization Taylor, at VISION
sin State Fair.
LABOR pays much the larger portion
of the taxes for the support of the Gov
eminent, while capital skulks behind
exemptions Of various kinds. Changes
are demanded in the policy of legisla-
ton equallzing the burdens of society.
and recognizing more fully the principle
OF equality which lies at the basis of
our system in all the laws affecting the
relations of capital and labor. Let
labor be relieved from unjust taxation
by removing monopolies and exemp-
tons, and the condition of the laborer
would be so far improved that the whole
tone of society would be elevated.
Avarice, Ike any other moral crime.
| always defeats itself, and, in the degra-
dation of labor, which has been effected
by practicing injustice upon it, the rep
resentatives of capital have lost infinite
" more than they gained. -JanesviUe
(Wis.) Gazette.
IT is stated that the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Comptroller of the
Currency viii renew their recommends
ton, in their annual reports, for the
establishment at New York OF central
| redeeming agency for national banks,
and argue that the recent panic fur
nishes a reason for such action. IL the
lesson of the late panic has has any
bearing on this question, it is in the
contrary direction. 1t cannot be sound
policy to require all the banks in the
country to keep accounts with one con-
Germ at New York, when it has been
demonstrated that the banks of that
city are the first to suffer and the last
to recover from a financial revulsion.
Western banks, for example, which are
the agency of immense and legitimate
business, should not be required to fur
nish additional funds for the use of the
stock gamblers of Wall street. This
view OF the case omits even more i'm
portant consideration. The policy of
the Secretary and the Comptroller would
build up a vast fiscal Institution, the
power of which, in politics and finance,
would bevery dangerous, and the failure
of which would be widely calamitous.
