THE Financial Chronicle gives utterance to
self-evident truths when it says that no law
OF State or nation can make employers pay
ten hours wages for eight hours work, and
that, If attempted, it would simply reduce
the daily wages in exact proportion With the
reduction of the hours of labor This, adds
the Chronicle by way Of peroration, is plain
common sense, and he who seeks to teach
otherwise is either knave or fool.

The London tEnglandl Morning Advert
ser, after quoting statistics to prove that the
consumption intoxicating liquors varies as
the prosperity of the people, says:
THE temperance societies NAV do good work
in suppressing drunkenness In fact, every
agency of responsibility in the country is more
or less interested in the work. But so long as
the inhabitants of the Kingdom remain co.'s
sumers OF beef, mutton and pork, they viii
wash down their viands with beer and spirits.
To get a nation of teetotallers We must first of
all have a nation OF yegetarians"
We doubt whether either experience or sci
ence will furnish any good ground for ac-
cepting this sweeping dictum. AS matter
of fact very large proportion of the total
abstainers of the world are beef-eaters, the
number of strict vegetarians being compare
lively small. The half-truth which turks in
the paragraph is that after heavy meal
made up largely of meats alcohol acts as a
stimulant, and affords some temporary re-
lief from the sense Of repletion. This ex-
plains the common practice of using wines
at dinners, but as this fashion is dying out
It can hardly be cited in support of the
above statement

came off near New York the other day.

refreshed and rested for another days

Mr.. Hendricks of Indiana, has no doubt
expressed correctly the spirit of the Demo-
cratic party generally in reference to the
tariff in the present emergency. The main
point seems to be that if the country gener
ally acquiesces in the new tariff, and trade
becomes prosperous and Furnishing, tie
Democrats will not, of course, undertake to
make new tariff. But if business IS dull
and stagnant, the party will try it on.

MAYOR DEERrNe objects to political as
sessments. He is entirely right. 1t is bad
practice whether pursued by Republicans or
Democrats, by Aldermen or Mayors. We
do not remember that Mr.. John w. Deering
when candidate for Alderman objected to
assessing policemen for political purposes,
or refused to avail himself of the aid thus
rendered. Perhaps Alderman Deering and
Mayor Deering are different men.

MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 20.
The Farce at Civ FALL.


Mayor Deering has gone and done it
again. He called the Aldermen into con-
clave Saturday night, held sort of privy
council in his room, and preferred charges
against Deputy Marshal Crowell. The evil
dence brought in support of the charees-to
which the Aldermen listened patiently for
three houis-was so frivolous and incense
quential that the Board, by vote of five TO
two, refused to consent to Mr.. Ciowelrs re-
moval. Messrs. Gould and Emery, Demo-
cratic Aldermen, were two of the five. Like
the honorable gentlemen and faithful public
servants they are,they declined to crafty the
Mayors caprice and discharge an efficient
officer in order to make room for one of MIR.
behring's henchmen. Messrs. Winslow and
Brine did otherwise.
Mr.. Crowell has been on the police force
thirteen years, and for seven years of tina.
time has been Deputy Marshal. His supe-
rlor officers, the Mayors and the City Mar
shals, testify to his diligence and efficiency,
and their evidence is reinforced by that of
Municipal Judges, Democratic and Republi-
can, who have sat on the bench during his
term of service. The charges against him
are absurd on their face and there is abso-
lntely no testimony to sustain them. For
proof of this we refer the readers of the
PRESS to the stenographic report we publish
in this issue. The Mayor desired to remove
him in order to make place for a political
or personal favorite. To gain this end he
called the policemen from their beats Satur-
day night. left the city without police pro-
lection for three hours on the most noisy
night of the week, and then with astounding
effrontery accused Mr.. Crowell of neglect of
official duties. We submit the report of the
examination to the people of Portland and
ask them if the Mayor is wisely employing
his time or the time of the patrolmt n--time
for which the people are paying. Is il nee
essary to ass. mble the city governm' mt, or
either branch of it,every time he has whim
to crafty or personal quarrel to settle?

.CmRIsrIAN PROGRESS.

BRIGHT. PROSPECTS OF THE CHURCH Az
SHOWN BY REV, DR. BAER
The Metropolitan NJ, T.. church was filled
yesterday morning, and the Rev. DIR, K. n
Bacr preached an interesting discourse, tax.
ing his text from Isaiah, lXii, /. He said
Isaiah was the leader of the noble line of holy
prophets, who forecast and predicted the i'm.
pOrtant events still TO come. Among them
all there was none more eminent either fur
devotion To God and his course, or for wisdom
and clear insight of the future in regard to
divine things than was the author of the text
If ever any human being walked with God
he did so in a pre-eminent degree In many
respects he was supCriO" TO all others, either
before or since his own time.
Though inlidelity ut the present time is at
tracing considerable attention. il is evidently
more blatant and superficial than many peo-
pie are wont TO believe, and in fact far less
solid and convincing than it was during the
past and former part of the present century.
And as the church SO triumphantly Outivcd
and OverOde the former, so will il the latter
also. The church was never more active and
alive TO the great work and mission before it
than ii is t0-day. it is pushing its conquesis in
hldircctionsandto to every part Of our globe. In
evidence of this, look at her Efforts in behalf
of colonization In Africa; in behalf of Christ
tian mission to every land, aud to all tongues
and peoples Of the world. Look at the vaIi-
Gus organizations and instrumentalitios, and
uheir operations at home and under our own
observations. Christians Should exercise
greater faith, BIT more zealons, and expect
larger results Indifference il II crime tliai all
should labor to be free froiiii The prospect of
universal triumph and success in the great
