TWELVE hundred children have been
gathered out of the slums of London
and Liverpool during the last ten years
and sent to Canada, with the best re-
suits. In three or four cases, it is
stated by the manager of this organized
emigration scheme, girls of hopelessly
corrupt habits were sent, with the
effect of injuring the character of the
whole enterprise in the opinion of the
Canadian farmers. Since that time
none are sent whose reform appears
improbable. The majority of the
children are orphans or those whose
parents, from stress of poverty, are
willing to resign them wholly. They
are usually from six to twelve years Of
age. They are placed in a training
school for six months, where they are
partially civilized, and then sent in
parties of twenty or thirty to some in.
land village in Canada, to find places
among the farmers. 1t is proposed
this year to dispatch a few parties O
these youthful emigrants to Minnesots
and Dakota. .......

complicated the fight however on the

the position of either the two old par

WITH the decadence OF the old
political issues growing out of the way
and reconstruction, the question of the
tariff and temperance seem to be
assuming shape as the live issues. At
least, such is the case in Ohio, in which
State there is more decided political
interest just now than in any other
because it is a State that leads off.
The first cannot be "local issae.n as
certain politicians have found out, but
the temperance question at this juno
ture can be treated only within State
organizations. The convention which
nominated Judge Foreaker passed
resolutions emphaticaIly approving the
system of taxing the liquor traffic and

Corner Stone LAYING.

There is scarcely any event more un-
usual in Il community than the laying
of a corner stone, as the erection of
new church occurs only at long inter-
walls. For this reason as well as inter-
est in the building of the new Presby-
terian Church, large number of our
citizens gathered at the foundations Of
the new edifice yesterday afternoon at
8 O'Clock. The exercises were highly
interesting throughout, occupying an
hour,
Mr.. Umsted had expected the assist
ance of our resident pastors, but the
three as well as the Rev. Mr.. AleXan-
der, of Middletown, were unexpectedly
called to other States.
The exercises commenced by singing
a hymn, "All hail the power of Jesus
name," which was followed by a STIR
ring address from the Pastor, Rev. ].
L. Umsted. He spoke of the Presby-
teFiaH Church as the martyr church
that endured 400 years ago the fires of
persecution for the truth, and dwelt in
glowing sentences on the stern virtues
OF John Knox whose prayer and faith
Queen Mary feared more than she did
an army of bayonets. The first Pres
byterian minister who came to this
country he said was Francis Mackenzie,
from Ireland. He went to Elizabeth
River, Va, 1851, but came over to this
Peninsula and organized a society at
RehObOth in Maryland 1858 or 1854 as
he did also at Snow Hill. A church
was organized at Duck Creek ION the
south side of Smyrna mill pond) by
Rev. John Miller, 1850, of which he
was pastor till l777 when he died and
was buried at Dover. After his death
the church was almost destroyed by a
heretical Yankee preacher. Several
attempts were made to reOrganize it
but without success until about &C
years ago. 1t has survived through
difficulties until the present has wit.

The lard "corner" in Chicago and
the firms that were ruined by buying,
holding and trying to force the prices
up and thus become suddenly rich are
thus referred to by the Ecening NelCs
of that city:
"The men who have engineered
such deals have almost invariably
become, sooner or later, hopelessly in
volved. 1t is Il disgrace to our banking
institutions that they lend themselves
to such operations. No corner would
be attempted if the banks did not lend
themselves to the spectators. These
swindling operations drive away trade,
unsettle business, and are managed fol
the sole purpose of bringing ruin upon
those who are caught in the deals
The object is to squeeze the last dollar
out of the unwary. Without the finan
cial aid of the banks, such schemes
would be impossible. 1t does nOl
speak well for them that they are
parties to these rascally transactions.

duty of notifying the Pr 1ssian government

Prussia declares tLs exercise of all prieStly

negotiations are pending.

P4UPER TMJTIGR4TTON.

The steps taken by the Washington cab
met to prevent the importation of pau
pers from Ireland under the auspices of
the British government, have already had
their effect cross the water. The govern
m ent has been taken severely to task in
parliament, and its policy in this regard
criticised withou at mercy. The report of
the health officers of Boston, given in brief
in our dispatches this morning, shows
that the extent of the evil complained of
has not been half appreciated. 1t appears
tha t the workhouses of the United King
dom have been thrown wide open
and the aged, the intirm,
the idiotic, and the worthless
of both sexes have been furnished with
transportation to this country, here to be-
come charge upon public or private
charity. A majority of them are but half
clothed, many of them without sufficient
raiment to cover their nakedness, and it is
the testimony of those conversant with the
facts that many thousands of those landed
On our shores within the past two months
will never be able to support themselves.
A more heartless exhibition has never
been presented since the Christian era than
this wholesale deportation of paupers by
the British government. They are herded
together like cattle in the steerage of the
ocean steamships, provided with scarcely
enough food to keep body and soul to-
gether, and turned out in a strange coun-
try without friend to care for them
or a penny to purchase bite to eat. 1t
is sincerely to be hoped that our govern
ment will carry out its threat and return
all such contributions to the sender with
the intimation that they are not wanted.
America is the natural home Of the op-
pressed of all nations. They are always
welcome, provided they come of their own
volition and come to labor with and assist
in building up the country. But we do
not want to be inundated with paupers
from the old world, no matter what their
nationality, and will resent the importation
of any of that class. We have good cause
to complain of and to resent the action OF
the British government by peaceable, and
if necessary forcible means.

The convention assumed that he named

AS Mart announced that Gov. Hubbard S

BUSINESS FAILURES.

The Semi-Annual Statement of the Com
mercial a gency-A Large Increase of Lii
abilities.
NEW YORK, June 29.-Approximate fig
ures of the business failures over the entire
country for the half year ending to-day,
compiled by R. G. Dun & Co., indicate a
marked increase in the number and extent
of liabilities, as compared with the CORE
spending periods of the previous years. For
the first six months of 1881 failures were
1852; for first six months of 1882, 1857;
for first half of 1883, 1857. Liabilities show
greater increase. In 1861 the liabil-
tiles of the first six months
were $4O,OOO,OOO; in 1882 they
were $59,0OO,OOO during the first six
months; and $66, 100000 in the first half of
1888. The increase in liabilities the last
half year is attributed largely to the spec
ulative failures in the west, but even de-
Quoting tAe Indebtedness springing from
this cause the failures and liabilities is very
marked. It is noticeable, however, that
during the second quarter of the year the
mercantile disasters are much less than in
the first quarter, in which the bulk of in
