Ike Philadelphia Press, whose orthodoxy as a

touching the ministerial reception in New York:
"For the ili-consi1ered speech of DR.. Burchard

Know that no one regretted or dIsapproved it more
that Hr. Blaine himself
This is no doubt so. What viii rankle In Catho-

Is what Mr. Blaine did not say. They claim that
he should not have given even tacit consent to
the assertion that democracy sprang from "ruIn,
Ro.naniSin and rebellion The Press insists that
the proper course for Mr.. Blaine was the one he
accepted, namely, TO ignore the sentiment, and IL
calls attention TO the fact that Father Malone :.
Catholic priest who was a member Of the deputa-
ton, pursued the same policy by neither making a
protest nor Withdrawing. AS the Press adds, Mr.
Blaine must be held responsible for what he says

LOUISIANA SUGAR.PLANTERS.
Meeting to Take Action Against the
Threatened LegisIatioD on the
tr-s,-- Sugar Tariff.

New ORLEANS, January 15.-The Con-
vention OF Sugar-Planters to take action
relative to the threatened legislation by
Congress on the sugar tariff, assembled to-
day. Ex-Gov. Francis T. Nichols pre-
sided. Among the delegates were many
of the wealthiest and most influential
planters in the State, also number of col
ored planters. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the sugar industry should
not be annihilated in order to protect
the more favored industries, nor
to settle political difficulties, Us
threatened; that its capital and labor
have with each other even more har-
monious relations than exist elsewhere
in the United States in any industry; that
our capital will be destroyed and our labor
ers dispersed and degraded, and utterly i'm
poverishcd by further adverse legislation,
and that the present depression of the
sugar industry OF Louisiana in a great
measure is due to the constant agitation
of the sugar tariff and resulting in
security OF capital invested in sugar pro-
duction.
The resolutions further declare that ii
the government thinks it right and proper
to foster and protect the industries of iron,
wool and cotton manufactures, the pro-
| ducers of sugar throughout the United
States, as American citizens, are entitled
| to the same protection, and should not
be saeriheo2 fersthe -Senefit OF the West
Indies, Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands
and we therefore protest against any fur
ther reduction of the sugar tariff. A
resolution was also adopted protesting
against the Hawaiian treaty and the pro-
posed Mexican reciprocity treaty, and also
| requesting their Senators and Represents
tives in Congress 10 protect the sugar

HENRY WAED BEECHEg.
An Address TO the Congregational Pas
tors of New York and Brooklyn.


New YORK, January 15.-The annual
Association of Congregational Churches
was held this morning in Plymouth
church. The moderator, the Rev. J. G.
Roberts, called the meeting to order. The
attendance was small. Henry Ward
Beecher, who is not member of the as
sociation, was requested to sit as CORE
spending member and lie complied.
After the different pastors had reported
on the condition of their churches, Mr..
Beecher addressed the meeting. lie
said: "When 1 began to preach
my congregation largely did not
know what orthodoxy was, but at last
they are beginning to find out. Laugh
ter. The work in detail of my own
church | perhaps know less about than
any other, it spread out so widely.
The Mayfower Mission and Bethel are
really churches within themselves. The
labors of the church are undiminished and
the charities of the church even more
widely extended than ever before. | am
as strong now as have been always, yet,
as years go on l have to % on, and the
night cometh when no man can work.
Although l am seventy years past,
l think / can do as much work
with less fatigue than l did in
middle lie. ike to work. Mr.
Beecher, in giving few facts about the
history of his church, said: This ground
was occupied by the old First Presby-
terian church, of which DIR. Cox was pas
tor. The ground and building was bought
by Mr.. Howard, Henry G. Bowen and
Mr. Hall. l first did not care to receive a
call from a cGz-sercial body of men, but

had strong faith that the spirit
in which the church was conducted was
the spirit in which it would live. l con-
tended that this church must be a revival
church" Beechar went on and gave some
"reminiscences of other Congregational
churches. He felt panied when he heard
it said that Plymouth church was not a
Congregational church. 1t was the other
churches that had left Plymouth out in
the cold
