DURING THE last Presidential campaign
the republicans of New York, in order to
gain the votes of Irish Catholics, made great
professions of support of the freedom OF
worship" bill, which Mr.. Cleveland, then
Governor, had vetoed upon the ground of
its unconstitutionality. Last week the
same bill came up in the New York Legis-
lature, in which, though the republicans
have tho majority, it was not only defeated,
but, strange to say, not single republican
voted for it, and all but two Of the votes
against it were those of republicans. The
republicans gulled many an Irish Catholic
at the last election. Will they be able to
do 80 again at the next?

ALEXANDRIA, Va.
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 4.

DuRISG THE late meeting of the M. T..
Church Conference at Poughkeepsie, n. ~
a nress dispatch from there was to the Ell
feet that Mr.. c. E. Radley, with tears III MS
ewes. gave deplorable account OF his anu
others troubles and dangers in prosecuting
the cause of his church at Berryvllle' VIZ
o;nia where minister had been stoned Tor
working for God, and where hard hearted
Southern contractor had refused to COM
pIete a church until the money due nlA
had been paid. The utter falacy OF Ihe
first part of Mr.. Radley's reported state
ment and the absurdity Of the last were 80
transnsrent that the GAZETTE denied it at
once; and so did Mr.. Radley, only the lat
ter was more specific. Still, rs there was
something in his denial that looked httie
suspicious. the GAZETTE took the trouble TO
inquire of the writer of the dispatch as 10 lts
entire reliability. His answer is as follows
"Mr. Radley made the statement referred
IN I have conversed with Rev. Frank VIII
son on the matter since received your let
ter, and he bears me out and the report
saws he understood it just as did" Tue
people of Berryville should know what SORT
of man Mr.. Radey is, and Mr.. Radley
should not be surprised if he shall hnd thai
he is not the most beloved and respected
man in his community. How such state
ments as that Of Mr.. Radley obtain credence
is hard to understand, for the very fac'
that though free to leave Mr. Radley still
continues to resident BerryviIle, is sufficient
to prove to all reasonable minds that the
people of that place are not such terrible
set as he represents them to be.

that he is man to love-a glorious, open,
warm hearted follow-that would be lead
er iu every company of The populace. "Who
is that officer with plumes in his hat, sitting
on the grouEd at the picket post? ?" asked a
Federal picket Of a Confederate while swap

said Johnny: what Gen. Lee?" "Fitz
Lee, General of the cavalry" Chats
what's the matter with our id service"
said the Federal, ave take off our hat and
stand with it in our hand before Colonel,
and there is a General sitting on the ground
talking and laughing with the men"
That is one point. A man with kind,
brctherly heart-a man Of the people.
Another point is, he is true man-never
deserts friend-never forgets a favor
never afraid to face fact.
Then he is brave man, morally and ply.
sically, stands by his convictions. and his
men as a gentleman
should, and makes them treat him in the
same way.

The Russo-Enelish Troubles.

CHICAGO, May "A dispatch to the NeUs
from London says: "The government con-
tinues to give out large orders for war stores
of all kinds. The Admiralty is surveying
additional steamers with view of freight
ing or purchasing them. Though the Rus
sian papers are not so outspoken as they for
msrly were, probably in consequence oftheir
governments hints, it is we'll known that
Russia is making strenuous efforts to in
crease her armament. The Indian banks
have given notice that they will notadvance
money against shipments unless the vessels
are insured at war risks. The Indian Gov
eminent is enforcing rigid economy in all
departments to meet the expenses of war
preparations, in order to avoid the levying
of fresh taxes, which would be likely to dis
turb the native loyalty. 1t is reported that
the Afghans of Badakshan have asked to be
annexed to Russia, and negotiations toward
that object are proceeding through the
ameer of Bokhara, and the governor of
Turke stan.
The London STANDARD, in referring to the
Queens return, says that everything has
been done to drag the nation into slumber,
philters and rhetoric and adulation, having
been copiously applied to stupefy its con-
science. Parliament participates in the
sleep as it has participated also In the
draught, but the crown does not share in the
general abasement, and is perhaps watching
for the restored sobriety and returning man
