THE POLICY OF THE WHITE LEAGUERs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 1874-The Loulslan-
ians in Washington express great apprehen,
sions of the action of the White League, and
profess to believe that the organization will
move, when it does, with such rapidity and
secrecy as to outwit the Federal troops. At
same time it is reported of the White Leaguers
that they are determined to come into no con-
fiict with the Federal authorities, and that,
however strong they may be, or however de.
termined to act, single Federal sergeant will
be sufficient to dispense them. Thus they
mean to protest, but to avoid rebellion, and
as the right to bear arms and to freely meet in
public assemblies is sacred. if they act up to
their promises they may annoy Kellogg and
his party without laying themselves open to
interference York Herald, 14th inst.

Imperial Majesty's ships arrived at Stamboul,
and the Austrian Internuncio, Count Itchy,

President Garrett of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, upon his sixteenth election,
made speech in which he extolled the merits
Of the compny's financial management;
Many years ago the city of Baltimore invested
three and a quarter millions in the road. and
raised the money BY issuing bonds at six per
cent interest. The annual dividends upon
the stock thus held by the city have long
been ten per cent, leaving clear proht OF
$3.50, 900 q year for the benefit Of taxpayers
As to differently conducted railroads, Mr..
Garrett said: at is very fortunate at q
period when the evilt resuls are shown OF
financial error-when many other railways,
under the efforts Of spectators and manipula-
tors of stocks, committed the huge mistake
of making not the reasonable aud proper sum
of capital which just expenditures in con-
struction created, but greatly enlarged and
exaggerated bases, on which interest and divi-
dends are expected to be paid-that the action
of the Baltimore and Ohio Company furnishes
striking and distinct contrast to their policy.
It lis a marked fact that, besides the public
interests to which I have referred, as pro-
priefors, the descendants of many of the
founders Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
arc still holders OF its stock.

"Do you take life insurance risks here?"

and took off his hat.

which is looked upon with sovereign favor

"That's what I've always thought, an

with me, and you should die tonight. I'd
hand your wife check within week"
"Couldn't ask for anything better than
that"
"No, sir-no, sir. The motto Of our COM
pany is: Prompt pay and honorable deal

"You are-let's see-say IS. 4 policy on

"Yes, that's what we call low, but ours is

stranger, pointing to the desk.
"Yes, replied the agent as he hauled ont

piled the stranger, as he unlocked his valise

He was placing his little bottle on the table

medicinal, mechanical and manufactur-
ing purposes, only to city and town
agents. And as a specimen of the enor-
mously increased ratio Of indisposition
throughout the State, the case of an OBJ
scure country town, called Canaan, is
cited. In 1868 the agent there had liq-
uors to the value of s36.76; in 1865 this
was increased to $2,l57.50, and all this
time the population Of the town was
steadily decreasing. Now if this is the
record ola high moral community, what
would it be where sinners abound. The
same result is manifest throughout the
entire State, and everywhere else that
the experiment has been tried.
We have never, and will never, at
tempt to deny the good of temperance,
or the great evils of incompetence, but
it is manifest that these attempts to force
abstinence upon community, will al
WAYS fail, and react against the object
sought.
The only true way is to leave the ques-
ton out of politics, and by judicious
training at home and at school, impress
the respective benefits and evils upon the
minds of youth. Where this is generally
done, and preceptis followed by example,
then and not till then. will there be shown
an increase of temperance in the country
mt large.

The Iron Moulding Business,

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle,
The latest reports of the condition of
the iron moulding business, as it comes
through the Mouldcr's Union of New
York, is summarized as follows: Now
York city very dull. At Troy, Albany,
Rochester. Syracuse, Morrisania, Peek
skill, Hudson, Brooklyn, Little Falls, Au-
burn, Dunkirk and Utica, very dull and
no prospects of improvement. In Phila-
del phia, Pittsburgh and Mcadvitle, "not
good" and "no improvement" is the re-
port. At New Haven and Norwich the
report is, ''trade poor In all the Ohio
branches-Clcveland, Cincinnati, Toledo,
and elsewhere-the report is, trade very
dull" and twas never worse" From In
dianapolis, Louisville. and st. Louis it is,
every bad, " ''no work." and "trade dull
At Detroit, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Grand
Rapids, Bay City, Racine, tits dull and
trade poor" From Chicago, Peoria and
Springfield the report is, "only tolcrablc.
and "a great many idle From all the
Southern Unions-Baltimore, Richmond,
Chattanooga, Memphis, Wheeling,
Savannah, Columbus (Ga.l, Water
Valley Miss. Mobile, and Peters
burg the reports arc, every dull,
"tradc slow" "no work. stirred of feed
ing and lodging tramps in search of
work." ''tradc slack" &c. so also from
Salt Lake City and Virginia City the
same story comes. The Albany stove
foundries complain of dull business, and
two or three Of the largest contemplate
suspension of work, In former years,
they have run as late rs January and
February, but this year nearly all will
suspend operations by December lst.
1t will be seen from this report that
Pittsburgh is not worse off as regards the
moulding business that some other cities.

THIS has been bad year for Pricstiy
morality. The greatest scandal OF this
or any other age, that of Plymouth
Church, has been, by no means settled
even yet, and following closely upon its
footsteps came the GLENDENING scandal
of Jersey City, in which it was alleged
that the Rev. Mr.. GLENDESING had de-
stroyed the happiness, reputation and
even life of one of his flock. Now we
are called upon to record the absconding
ofthe Rev. Father JOHN W. GERDEMANN
pastor of st. Boniface's Roman Catholic
church, of Philadelphia, with his fair or
csnist, ard about $4,000 of money, col
lected from his Pensioners, apparently
for church purposes, Truly the times
are out of Joint. Can it be that TYNDAL
with his materialistic ideas, is responsible
in great extent, for these many short
comings?

THE New York Herald is of a wonder
fully inventive genius. Wishing to
advocate reform in the management OF
Central Park, it got up hoax, to which
it gave a page ofspace, representing that
the animals on exhibition ut the Park,
had broken loose, and were committing
all kinds of ravages. Having frightened
almost to death many of its readers, and
thus attracted the attention it desired to
the subject, it followed with an article
setting forth the reform it wished to i'll
culcate. An original plan at least.

TEMPERANCE By LAW.

A short time ago we published an ar
ticle in these columns, taking the ground
that efforts to force temperance upon
any people by law, could be productive
of only one result, viz: an increase in
the consumption of ardent spirits, and
thus defeat of the very purpose aimed
at, This is brought about by that which
is usually dcnominated the perversity
of human nature, but which, in reality,
is the natural instinct implanted within
the heart of every man to rebel against
everything which has the appearance Of
tyranny.
On that occasion, We quoted figures
showing that in the two States which
have been most prominent in these
efforts at enforced temperance-Maine
and Observation-Disclosures sale of liquors
and consequent drunkenness, has -four
ished in spite of the prohibitory statutes
in such cases made and provided.
Now we notice that the Chicago Trt-
bupe, of the 10th inst, takes the same
ground, and cites statistics from the
State of Maine, furnished by the Hon.
JOSHUA NYE, chief Of the State constab-
ulsry, in defence of the position.
As is well known, Maine was
the pioneer State to attempt pro
hibition, and law to that
effect was passed there twenty years
ago, which law has been continually in
force. Yet, according to Mr.. NYE, in
1866, more than 81, 100000 was paid for
liquors brought into Maine, and more
than 1900 persons were engaged in their
sale. In 1873, the records show 5,i21
prosecutions for the sale Of liquors, and
l7,sOs arrests for drunkenness. In 1868,
seven persons were sent TO the lunstic
ASYLUM for insanity from intemperance,
and in 1872 and 1878 an average Of
twenty-six each year. So it seems that
by hook or BY crook, laws Of this nature
are always evaded. The chief expedient
in Maine was sickness, for in 1872 State
LIQUOR Commissioner named SHAW,
was appointed to sell liquors for
