TIE .sPRJNG FORK or TIE ARMY

The Spring opens with an unsatisfactory
state of things upon our border. In the
North West the army has been ordered once
more to dislodge the miners from the Black
Hills This is not quite sensclcss an order
as that which drove Col. Henry and bis COM
mand out of Laramie last Winter to range the
tracklcss wastes of snow in search of a
mythical invasion, and resulted i'll nothing
more than the manning of n few score gallant
soldiers for life. The present expedition may
look for reasonable weather and a fair
chance to find whatever fronticrsmen may
have established themselves in the Black
Hills. 1t is, however, almost impossible
that the military authorities can fully
execute the orders which it is so easy to issue
from Washington. The work of combing the
forests to find what gold hunters may be hid
den in their pathless depths is enough to re-
quire the cxcrtlons of ten times as many sol
diers as our par5imonious system supports
upon the frontier 1t is q tlianElcss as well
as iupracticablc task, for it is not supported
Icy public opinion. III every town in the West

BENEFICIARY CLUBS AND INSTITUTES
The Workingman's Club of st. Marks in
| Philadelphia held its fourth annual reunion
| this week. Wo have q word or two to say
about this Club. 1t is the first Of the kind In
the country, and has been initiated in dozen
different States; wisely Initiated, as it seems
| TO us, as the motive and execution both ap-
| pear wise and practical. Tho fundamental
| idea is the encouragement OF brOtherly, help
| ful feeling among members Of the Christian
Church, and the expression of that feeling in
| everyday business matters as in more
| spiritual manner not only to members Of the
Church but to those outside. The plan to
which we now advert originated with Episco-
pallans. Ordinarily the association OF men,
bers in city church is limited to passing
each other in the aisles on their way to their
pews or to the communion table. II poorer
member is sick or in want he receives pecu-
mary aid, but it is given and taken as aims,
and whatever good effect charity has upon
him that gives, it usually, il the truth must be
told, is anything but sanctifying to him who
takes. Aims are more bitter discipline than
death TO some souls and to others hardening
and vul2arizng.
The object Of the Club is to unite all the
members in fraternal relationship OF mutual
bclp and fliendliness, 80 that when a poor
man has need, he can draw for his necessities
out Of the common treasury without any loss
of self-respect Besides the beneficial society,
it includes a building and loan association.
Il coal society classes of instruction i'll BIB
lical knowledge, vocal music, free hand and
mechanical drawing, bookkeeping, and mathe-
MATES. It,haS reading-room well provided
with papers and magazines, recreation rooms,
u library, and occasional musical and literary
entertainments. The membership of the Club,
it il distinctly stated. is not sectaran. Its
motives we think, are apparent. If it is sue
cessful and could be initiated by other churches
it would at least supply a want in every large
city which the Y. NJ. c. Association has tried
to iill-the providing of cheap and pleasant
attractions to the thousands of homeless lads
and young men who crowd the cities, with no
means Of recreation for their evenings bat
those offered by the haunts OF immortality. A
young mechanic or clerk drawn into this Club
would not only find friends and inducements
to economy, thrift. and tho improvement of
his mind, but would be subjected insensibly
to that higher religious influence which is
after all the only sure safeguard. We COM
mend this WOrkingmans Club to the consid-
Grafton of other churches than that in which
cal. If 1t meets their approval, we hope they
will go and do likewise, both for the sake of
workingmen and for their own.

developments.
President Gonzales Of Santo Domingo, as
means of replenishing the treasury OF his
State, seems disposed to support claims for
indemnity against our Government for its
policy toward the usurper Baez. We are not
disposed to believe that, under any rigid con-
struction of international law, the payment OF
such claims can be justified. Nevertheless,
we shall be fortunate if the highly reprehcn-
sible course of our Government has no moro
serious result than the annoyance Of protracted
negotiations.
Mr.. Jarvis Lords investigation does not
promise either interesting disclosures or i'm
portant reforms. According to the statements
of persons most interested, as made to Our re-
porters on Saturday, there is little ground for
Mr.. Lords charges Of extortion in port charges,
and the prevailing impression among such
persons seems to be that this new movement
is intended to divert attention from the man
issue. Still there is no reason why tins lnveS-
tigatiOn, like the Others set on foot III Albany,
should not be thorough, and doubtless II VIII
be so.
The Coroners have lately been called upon
to investigate the causes OF two or three
deaths, in respect to which the Departmeho
of Charities and Correction has been charged
with negligence. This Department has large
RESPONSIBILITIES and much work to do, but 1t
would seem that its work may he so regu-
lated that such unfortunate occurrences as the
death of Lizzie Stern might be avoided. 1t
must have been owing to some neglect OF
official duty that while, as was stated, all the
necessary appliances were provided, they
could not be found in tho time OF need.
The contest between the Pennsylvania coal
miners and their employers is continued with
no manifestation Of failing purpose on either
side. The question of wages on the resump-
ton of mining operations seems really to in
volye struggle which is to decide whether
the operators or the labor organizations shall
in future control the working Of the mines.
SO long as this struggle was peaceably con-
Quoted people generally were not particularly
interested in its incidents. But the methods
recently resorted to by the miners to ELECT
their object must meet emphatic cOndemna-
ton. Certain counties in the anthracite
region appear to be absolutely overrun by
the strikers, and at their mercy. Ia either or
half dozen towns riot may occur at any
moment. The interesting letters of a staff
correspondent, printed on our third page to-
day, present very fully the spirit of the con-
tending parties and show that Gov. lIartranfts
warning proclamation has not been issued TOO
soon,

Slr. Toby Rossntbal, the young Californian
painter, has had great piece Of good luck II like
too many artists he is fond Of seeing bis name in the
papers His painting Of Elaine was cut from its
frame on All Fools Day, in San Francisco, andstolen.
He can now claim sort of brotherhood with Muro,
equal with me in fate, so were equal with him in
renown" 1t remains to BIO seen whether the theft
results so dramatically that Of the ST. dnihony Of
Seville. 1t would seem at first sight that mono but
an idiot would steal well-known picture; but per-
baps the fact that the Spanish thief received $40
for his Murillo may have had stimulating effect on
soma aesthetic Hoodium OF San Francisco.
Tho italian school in Leonard-st. under the
charge of the Children's Aid Society, and begun BY
it as an experiment in 1885, has attained such pro-

at I, o'clock. Many distinguished ladies' and gentle
men have been invited to attend.

WAsH1seroN. September 10.-The Attor-
ney. General to-day teleeraphed to Governor
Ames requesting Information regarding the

Fish announcing that that gentleman Is at

will meet the Attorney- General at any point

To this telegram The Attorney. General re-
piled, informing the Secretary of State OF his
telegram of this date to Governor Ames, and
delaying the proposed conference until after

WASHINGTON, September 10.-A telegram
has just been received by the Attorney.
General from the sheriff OF Kinds county,
Miss, reporting that perfect peace prevails
throughout that county. The peace-ofieers

morning to Governor Ames.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.I
WASHINGTON. D. g., September 10.-
There is very decided opinion in all quar-
ters here now that Governor Ames aud his
partisan coadjators in Mississippi will fail in
their effort to make capital out of the COM
paratively Insignificant riot at Clinton on
Saturday. The efforts to force an Executive
proclamation and military protection have
been unsuccessful, as Attorney-General
Pierrepont is not inclined to be made tool
of for the benefit of political outrage.mill
| association. There has been no conference
between Fish and Pierrepont, as neither of
these gentlemen yet consider it necessary,
and the fact is not disguised that the majority
of Cabinet officers in Washington consider
| this last attempt to raise the cry of southern
oppression disgusting subterfuge to attract
| Radical votes for the October elections. and
| will not lower themselves to a state OF en-
dorsipg any such project. TIMoN.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENTAL horse driven by
Mr.. Walter Shelton, of Hanover, ran away
on Main street yesterday morning, throwing
air. Shelton out over the dash board Of the
buggy while turning into Fifteenth street.
As Mr. Shelton fell he caught the right-hand
shaft and the sxletree, and was dragged in
this condition at fearful rate through Fif-
teenth to Franklin, where the horse ran the
buggy against a telegraph pole on the oppo-
size side of the street, freeing himself from
the harness and leaving Mr. Shelton and the
buggy in heap. Singular TO say, Mr. Shell
ton was but slightly injured.
