CHURCH AND CHINESE.

AT the annual conference of the
M. E. Church held IN Portland
this week, the following reso'u>
ton was offered by Rev. J. F.
Devore.
Resol0ed. That we will warmly invite
the Chinese into our own congregations,
churches and Sunday Schools. and make
special efforts to Americauizs these immi>
grants to our shores, We recommend
that the doors of our academies and col
leges he kept open to them as to other na.
tionalities.
After this Kearney will be
neededin Portland. He Is wanted
to tell Mr.. Devore and his brother
ministers that before the Chinese
are looked sfter the moral educa>
ton of the Americans should be
attended to. Tue number of
criminals in the penit entiary and
the frequent occurrence of crime
would argue that there Is much to
be done toward reforming those
at home betor an attempt Is made
to improve the condition of those
from abroad. And it seems to us
that the conference should have
gwen the preference to Americans
rather than the Chinese, and re-
solved to expend it's labors ard
money for the elevation of our
own people Instead OF providing
for the manufacture of voters out
of the rice eating, opium-smoklng
Misunderstanding Mongollans.
The letter published elsewhere
from Mr.. David tirenot is sensible
and to the point. Time has
proven that where self>iDterest
makes a patriot the patriot Is firm
III his faith and faithful in his
work IN promoting The Welfare of
the public. He has then a CONS
mon interest with the people, and
to do injury to what concerns
them is to injnre. himself.

Gently appeared IN the London
Times on the condition OF the

reached that in point OF numbers,
efficiency and discipline the army
Is in bad way. 1t appears that

A Common Kind of Young Man.

Year by year the functions OF the news
paper widen and multiply, Time was when,
II it purveyed the news and supplied those
too busy or too lazy TO think for themselves
with ready-made opinions on the political
issues Of the day, nothing more WAS OK
pectcd Of it. But that era has gone by.
More and more the newspaper is becoming
the conidant and trusted adviser, to he con-
suited in all the affairs of life, from the per-
plcxities OF budding courtship to the prob
lens that drive sleep from the pillow OF
tho statesman, or furrow the brow OF those
whose expenses tend to exceed their in
come. Men and women, youths and
maidcns, even the children come to it with
their troubles and doubts as naturally as
the penitent goes TO the priest; indeed as
repository Of curious condolences, the news
paper Office has come to rank next TO the
confessional itself
Some theorists would have it that this Is
all wrong; that the newspaper should stick
to news as the shoemaker to his last. But,
for our part, THE Sun enjoys these intimate
relations with its readers, and is always
glad to shed light on their difficulties.

Take Away His Club.

Several persons OF unquestioned character
and good standing in the community have
testified that they saw Police Captain VIII
LIASIs club Mr.. BLAKE OF Trenton, during
the recent walking exhibition at Gilmore's
Garden. II ever a fact can be established
by the positive testimony Of eyewtnesses,
the tact Of Capt. WILLIAMS brutal behavior
ON that occasion has been amply proved.
One-quarter Of the evidence brought against
WILLIAMS would be enough to send an UNI
uniformed rowdy and bully to jail for as
5ault and battery.
There is an anecdote popular with young
law students and lawyers clerks, about an
impudent attorney whose client had stolen
4 pig. Six witnesses Of unimpeached We
raclty swore that they saw him steal the
pig out OF the PEN The attorney thereupon
produced twelve witnesses who swore that
they did not see the pig stolen, and the in
tolligcnt jury decided that the weight Of
testimony was two to one in favor Of the
accused. Police Captain WILLIAMS has pro-
duced n number Of witnesses who say that
they did not see him club Mr., BLAKE.
The general impression among law abd-
ing citizens in the Twenty-ninth Precinct is
that WILLIAMS is an unfit man to be a po-
lice Captain. or to be member of the police
force in any capacity. General impressions
are often mistaken and unjust. But this
outrageous case OF clubbing is q matter VI
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-04-21

TO despair must DO very foolish young
man. or q very weak one. A young man Of
nineteen, with good health, clear head,
and sound conscience, has the title deeds
OF the world in his hand.
But this discouraged young man. IL seems.
has been two years in business, and has not
made any Roadway. How does he know
that he hasn't? Young men are often maxi
ing the most Roadway when they seem to
themselves to be standing still, or perhaps
drifting backward. 1t is of good deal
more Importance Mt their time Of life to
make experience and character than TO make
money. What did this young man expect
to accomplish in two years What silly
notions did he get into his head during his
brief stay at a sham college lie is no
worse off than ninety out Of every hundred
young business men. Young lawyers often
have to wait years for their clients; SO do
young doctors for their patients; and dread
full fits OF the blues they sometimes have
before the clients and the patients arrive.
II this young mans father and uncle are
kindly and shrewd men, engaged in a
reputable business, we should say his
wsest plan was TO go to them frankly and
modestly own his faults, If he has been
guilty Of any, and ask them to take him in
again aud give him another trial. II that
is impracticnble for any reason, let him
stay where he is and do the very best work
he can. In little while he will probably
find the business moro congenlal than he
now fancics 1t.
II neither Of these courses suits him, we
advise the young man TO go up to Vermont
and hire out as farm hand. Labor is said
to be in demand in some parts of that State,
and wages good for the times. The sharp
air would give him robust appetite, and
| the hard work might take some of the non
| sense out Of him.

be the Republican candidate for Governor
OF New York. his nomination will impart a
particular interest and significance to the
election.
Mr.. FISH Is so thoroughly identified with

he should receive would justly be regarded
as the measure Of GRANTS strength in this
State.
There is nothing TO be gained by under
valulng the enemy. The fact that the Re-
