WORDS or WARSING.-Bishop Stevens, of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of Pennsyl-
vania, IN an address at the opening of the
convention of that church on Tuesday, com
mented severely upon the eommunistic drill
lings, as reported in the West siThere is an
approaching evil the Bishop said, (which,
like the cloud that the prophets servant saw
as he stood on Mount Carmel, though now no
larger than a mans hand, may soon, like
that, burst in its fury upon us before we are
fully aware of its approach" He referred to
the effort now being made, ostensibly in be-
half of the laboring man but really by COM
munistic inhdels, to bring about a conflict
between labor and capital, the rich and the
poor. The power which put itself forth last
/ year was comparatively harmless, because
not well organized and consolidated. The
movement, the Bishop hints, can only be
quelled by physical, or, what is better, by
moral force. He recommends the clergy to
study the important question, and so rightly
mould the minds of their Pensioners and
others as TO awake sound and healthvseuti-
ment based on the only true social and moral
science, the word of God.
There is, no doubt, an uneasy feeling all
over the country in regard to the questiona-
bic movement OF the communist element
AT the same time there is great exaggeration,
aithough It can scarcely be questioned that a
wicked attempt Is being made to array certain
classes against the structure of society, and
to organize some discontinued elements in
the great cities, which, however, has always
existed to some extent, and always wi II un :
der any circumstances. There are vague and
idle rumors, which are slandernus, no doubt,
that June has been fixed upon as the time for
a simultaneous and desperate outbreak. But
there are no indications that communism has
taken any root in American thought. II is
clear that the organizations III this country
are confined chiefly to few bad disposed
foreigners. Its officers have foreign names
and Its newspaper organs are printed in for
eign languages. However, the civil authori-
ties should be prepared for any possible
outlawry.
