Daniel Playing the Fool.

Talmage in his sermon on "DauieI
playing the fool" says: "What is tha t
man doing in Bowling Green, N. Y.?
We'll, he is going for ticket for a
transatlantic voyage. He is quar-
rellng with the clerk about the spots,
the red spots, on the ticket, and he is
quarreling about the peculiar sigma,
ture of the president of the steam
snip company, and he is quarreling
ABOUT the manner of the clerk who
hands him the ticket. How long
mas he been standing there Three
weeks. Meanwhile. perhaps twenty
steamers have gone out of port. I
heard the shrek of the steam-tuy
that should take him to the last yes-
sci that could bear him to his engage
ment in London. Still he stands in
Bowling Green discussing the ticket.
What do you say in regard to that
man? You say he is fool. Well,
IN that very way are many men act
ing in regard to the matters of the
soul. They are caviling about the
atonement, the red spots on the tick
et-about whether it has Divine or
human signature; and meanwhile all
their opportunities for heaven are
sailing out of the harbor, and l hear
the last tap of the bell announcing
their last chance for heaven. Go
aboard! ! Do not waste any more
time in higgling, and carping, and
criticising, and wondering, and in
thepresence ofan astounded heaven,

investigation is that the general aver,
age weekly wages of the employees,

77.49 per cent higher in Massachusetts
than IN Great Britain.

rdnce acaS 1886 per cent" Here we
have data which fairly illustrate the
practical benefits conferred by the
Republican policy. 1t mas enabled
the workers of the ninety industries
in this country to secure wages III
per cent higher than workers in
similar industries get in Great Bri-
tain. And it has enabled the workers
Of these ninety industries in this
country to secure wages 2S3 per cent
higher than they enjoyed IN 1860, at
the close Of long period of Demo
cratic taxation for public purposes

these facts any reason for supporting

The Republican Policy Tested.
PETROLEUM V. NAsBY,
Like Bunyan in Prisin.)

There are about 100000 male
adults in this country engaged in
gainful occupations, and the census
shows that this is about the number
of males Of the voting age. Sub
stantially the whole malepopulatiOn
that can vote is at work, and about
half of the whole number is engaged
in farming, nearly One-quarter in
manufactures and mining, over one
sixth in personal and professional
services, and about one-twelfth in
trade and transportation. How can
the Government promote the welfare
of these workers?
LET them alone" say the British
free. trade theorists edo not meddle
with them at all help no one, make
taxes as light as possible, and leave
everybody to find his level" The
results of the ''let alone" policy can
Rfseen in England. Whoever wishes
to ascertain what sort of level the
great body of workers reach under
such system can examine Mr.. Por-
ter's letters, the official reports of the
Bureau of Statistics, or any other
accurate and trustworthy statement
of the condition of labor abroad.
The Republican party, on the con-
trary, holds that Government ought
to do all ii can to elevate, dignity
and protect labor. 1t began by en-
acting a homestead law. This offers
a farm to every industrious citizen
who is willing to cultivate it, and the
effect has been to fix a level below
which the wages of agricultural labor
can never be depressed so long as
available public lands remain. By
this great measure, fully half of all
the workers in the country were di-
rectly and permanently benefited. for
the owners of farms themselves have
secured homesteads in great number
for their children, or for themselves
when tempted to remove to new
States. But this act, in some respects
the most important and beneticent
that has been passed for quarter of
a century, was carried by Republi-
cans against persistent Democratic
opposition.
The protective tariff was enacted.
also, as soon as the Republican party
gained power to make any law what
ever. Under its operation, the wages
of millions of workers in the manu-
features and in mining have been
sustained, the enormous development
ofthose industries has secured home
market for farmers, and greatly in
creased demand for labor in all the
mechanic arts, and the farmers have
moreover been directly benefited in
many ways, particularly near the
Canadian border, and in the growth
of wool in all parts of the country.
But this measure, also, though 1t
directly benefited more than a quarter
of the wage. earners in the country,
and indirectly but powerfully helped
them all, was resisted at the outset,
aud has ever since been assailed most
savagely. by the Democratic party.
The effect of these great Republi-
can measures is illustrated in the
latest report of the Massachusetts
Labor Bureau, recently published. In
this elaborate report the wages of
persons in ninety industries in Mas
sachusetts are compared for 1888, for
1860, and for intermediate years, with
the wages of persons in similar oc-
cupations in Great Britain. On page

The Central Pacific Affairs

New YoRK, June 3O,-C. P. Hunting
ton said this morning THE Central Pa
cifc interest due July LIST is about $780,
600, and the company has in bank about
three times this amount In regard to
the Cotton suit l emphatically deny the
story that there has been any unwar-
ranted disturbances of Central Pacific
sinking funds. Only the Southern Pacfc
bonds belonging to the sinking fund sent
to New York are those accumulated to
meet State aid loan of 81, so 1000, which
natures July list. These bonds were sci I
here to be used to pay for State aid bonds
as contemplated by the mortgage. The
allegations by Mrs. Cotton in her suit are
mere spite work, intended to injure the
credit of the parties she is endeavoring to
blackmail. She attacks all interests of
the parties with whom she litigates, hop
ing thereby to obtain something from
them that is not due. The counsel tele-
graphs hat no application has been made
for a Receiver for any of the railroad
companies, except for q comparatively
small amount of bonds and stock"

CHICAGO, June 80. - A suit was
brought to-day by Mrs. Annie tanning
against the Right Rev. Patrick Terry,
pastor of st. Patrick's Catholic Church of
this city. The complainant alleges that
her uncle, Richard tanning, died twenty
years ago, leaving a will bequeathing a
portion of his estate to her, and that
Father Terry has concealed this will ever
since, and that the estate went to her
uncle's heirs-at-law. She says Father
Terry but recently told her of the bequest.
Father Terry says that when Mr.. Lanning
was very i'll thirty-three years ago he at
tended the sick man, and that there was a
will then; that tanning recovered and
lived thirteen years; hat he Father
Terry went elsewhere, and does not know
whether the will existed at the time of
Lanning's death or not.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 3O.-Two
Orange outrages are reported from the

guns were fired into the house of Captain
Wrey and the windows smashed with
huge stones. Wrey was one of only three
Catholic families in Twillingate.
At Greens Pond Harbor four Southern
vessels took refuge from the southwest
gale and a floating field of ice Tuesday
last. The Orangemen attacked the crews
when on shore, manned them brutally,
and pursued them to the vessels with
large ballast stones, smashing the com
panion doors, skylights, cabin stoves and
furniture, breaking the bulwarks, and
forcing the vessels to push out into the
storm and ice peril.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., June 3O.-An out
rage was perpetrated Saturday night by
the crew of the bark Lady Elibank. They
broke into the Catholic church of St.
Mary's, in St, Mary's bay, and demol-
ished the furniture and appointments of
the sanctuary, destroyed the tabernacle,
obstructed the chalice, ciborium, and other
sacred vessels, smashed the candelabre
and strewed the debris about the streets,
and in various ways desecrated the church.
Five were arrested. As soon as the
knowledge of the dissertation of the church
spread among the Catholic population, not
less than 500 boats were manned for the
purpose of scuttling and firing the vessel.
The influence of the parish priest and
supplying merchants prevented the de.
struction of the ship and cargo.
