A Good Work.

The series of Sunday School Insti-
tutes held in lhis county during Sep
TENDER by the Maryland Sunday
School Union, were evidently sue
cessful. 1t is estimated that at least
three thousand different persons were
reached during the various sessions
with pungent truths relative to the
worth of the Sunday School. That
these Institutes have done immense
good in awakening and improving
public sentiment, there is ample evil
dence. Besides, they have been of
great value to the Sunday School
workers in the matter of instruction,
and their devotional character has
made deep religious impressions. The
county was almost completely belted
by the five Institutes. Messrs. Baker
and Mock returned to Baltimore on
Monday to take up their great work
in other fields, and carried with them
the prayers and gratitude of the peo.
pie of Garrett county, Mr.. VIM. d.
Hoye. Vice. President of the Union
for this county, merits praise for his
self-sacrificing zeal and assistance in
promoting the success of these meet
ings.

ernOr Hamilton supports the Demo-
cratic nominee in his district. He
supported George Peter when he ran
against Mr.. Urner; he supported
Montgomery Blair, who ran two
years later; he supported Colonel
Schley and Fred Nelson. both of
whom were beaten by Mr.. McComas.
For some of these ex Governor Ham
ilton took the stump. 1t cannot be
that any of these gentlemen received
a less cordial support from Governor
Hamilton than Colonel Baughman
will receive. There is no reason why
he should"

"that the Hon. Louis E. McComas,
member of Congress from Sixth dis

a front rank among the trusted and
honorable statesmen of the nation,
and by his signal abilities to the high

A prominent officer in the House
of Representatives, and of course a
Democrat, who has just returned
from his summer trip out West, says
that the Republicans can elect ma
jority in the Fiftieth Congress if they
wish to, But they don't want to.
They would rather let the Democrats
have a slight majority and continue
their laundering up to the Presiden.
tial election, aud then sweep every
thing out of the Democrats hands.
He says he cannot help but see this,
because the dissatisfaction and dis
content in the Democratic ranks are
too widespread, He is sure there
will be an increase in the Republican
members of the House by sixteen or
eighteen. 81 am a Democrat" said
he, land hold an Office in the House
as such but when [ see thing so
plainly, 1 must tell the truth" The
official says there will be an increase
of five Republican members from
Ohio, two from Indiana, two from
Michigan, Iowa two, Virginia three,
and Maryland one, or may be more.
He says Don Dickerson, the Michi-
gan boss, is stirring up great revolt
against himself by his actions. and is
identical with the fight against Cor
man and bossism in Maryland. Dick

There is a quieter tone of trade al

The Republican Convention of the
Sixth Congressional District met at
Hagerstown yesterday and promptly
nominated Representative Louis E.
McComas for a third term. The
nomination was made by acclama-
ton. Mr.. MCComas is one of the
ablest and generally most efficient
Representatives whom Maryland has
sent to Congress for many years, and
the hearty manner of yesterdays
nomination was vote of confidence
which he highly merits. There is no
reasonable doubt that the Republic
cans will again carry the Sixth Dis
trist. McComas is the strongest man
his party could have selected. The
full Republican vote is not only assur-
ed to him, but he has Democratic
following that is by no means insig.
nificant. With Mr., Vic Baughman
in the field as his Democratic compet-
itor, the race ought to be Il walk-Over

Democrat was in this city yesterday,
and talked freely about the campaign
in the Sixth district. He was par
ticular not to have his name men
toned, but his words will show how
the Democrats are looking upon Col.

"Why," said the Democrat, me
Comas has made US the best repre-
sentative we have had since Cover
nor Hamilton was there. He is the
most popular man throughout his
district, and one we all trust. He has
made himself name, and the people
of Western Maryland want him back
again. Allegany and Washington
counties will both give him an in

not be just recognition Of the invalu-

CLERICAL OALUMNIATORs,

TIE IRISH STANDARD is one Of the few
Nationalist papers III this country that
never put much faith in the sincerity Of
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's re-
peatedly expressed sympathy while on
this side of the Atlantic with the Irish
cause, and we have now less rea-
son for doing so. 1t is stated that this
gentleman during the course Of a lecture
he recently delivered in Liverpool made
use of the following words: sElrishnen
in America do eventually settle down
and. becume good citize ens-that is, such
Of them as do not previo usly die OF
drinking whiskey'' This is q lying
sl,1r on the Irishmen Of America. 1t is
only short time since Mr.. Beecher said
That the condition of the workingman IN
America was desirable one, and that
dollar per day was sufficient remunera-
tion for his work. This statement Mr.
Beecher was forced to retract, and he
should be made do precisely the same
thing with the slur he has cast upon the
Irishmen. We deny Mr.. Beecher's g in
sinuation that the Irishmen of America
are any more addicted to the use OF in
toxicants than the natives Of other coun-
tries; but on ethe contrary, we oeheve
that there can be found more total ab-
stainels in the ranks of the Irish
than in any other nationality, This fact
can best be substantiated by a reference
to the honorable positions filed by
Irishmen in the institutions OF our
country.
But Beecher is not the only Protest.
ant clergyman who is making false ac-
cusations against the habits OF Irish
Catholics. Last week at conclave OF
Methodist ministers in the city OF Chi
cago, the following statements were made

THE SAME OLD GAME.

The substantial aid 7ouchsafed by the
recent Chicago convention to the Irish
men at home has reused the ire of the
London Times, and that paper has re-
sumed its old-time policy of slandering
the importance Of Irishmen as o factor
in American politics. It bases its argu-
ment on the figures Of the United States
census Of 1880, and proclaims that Of the
total foreign-born population the Irish
are only 27.7 per cent, while the Ger
mans represent 29.4 per cent. From
these figures it argues that American
statesmen and politicians generaly are
very foolish to attach SO much impor-
tance to diminishing political force"
Thereupon an American, evidently OF
Angiomaniac prochvities, wrote imme-
diately to the Times, that he was sorry
to say that the prospect OF emancipation
from Irish rule was not lively one.
The Irish,'' he continues, stare almost
wholly gathered in cities and towns

MIR. PARNEIL'S LETTER.

The most important occurrence III
connection with she Irish question this
week is MIR. Parnei.'s g letter to Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, Che recently elected president OF
the Land League in America. The let
ter treats principally Of the great num-
ber Of evictions in ireland, and the
heartlessness OF the landlords in their
;nhuman work. Mr.. r. z. O'Connor in
his cablegram informs Us chat the docu-
1nent is hot'y assailed in the old country
by the Lending Tory organs. Their
main argument is that eviotions are not
gen sral, and diminishing, and they
charge the Parne]lites with trumping UP
imaginary cases Of eviction and repre-
sentjng 3 state of affairs tha5 has no
foundation in fact. On the other hand
they characterize the landlords as being
lenient and forbearing under circum-
stances Of extreme provocation. They
are described as reduced to the verge OF
ruin by the refusal Of their tenants to
pay the rents justly due. To cap the
climax Of these bold assertions they aver
ia all seriousness that it would be next
to impossible for Mr.. Parnell to point
ont an instance OF really harsh eviction
AS an illustration Of the truth Of these
assertions on the same page on which
some Of them occur in the London
Standard, the leading Tory organ, is
found a matter of fact report of eviction,
which for cold-blooded cruelty it would
be hard to beat. In the instance re-
ferred to one of the members Of the fam-
ily to be evicted was dying woman.
The knowledge that she was dying had
no weight with the evictors. The scene
that ensued caused keen distress among
the onlookecs, who were afraid to inter
fere, knowing thet it would bring upon
themselves serious consequences. This
ia only one of the many we'll authenti-
Gated cases of eviction of persons whose
removal WAS almost certain death, but
the Tory papers Ignore them in their at
tacks on the case made out by the Par
nellites. A reference to the latest pub
lished returns Of the Irish land commits
sion fails TO bear out the assertion OF the
landlord champions, that evictions are
diminishing, and fully bears out the
declaration Of the Nationalists. The
Liberal press, except the extreme Union
ist prints, comment favorably upon Mr.
Parnell's letter.

n conn ection with a discussion on Il

in connection with discussion on the
Irish question:
Rev. Brushingha1n thought itwo,,ld be q good
idea to run boycott on the saloons in ireland,
and attributed much of tho trouble to drink
aud the family quarrel whic had ragged for
years. He believed Protestant domination
in Ireland would do much to raise her in the
scale OF prosperity. She had political reform
ers, but no religious ones, and, while expressing
sympathy for the country, did not believe dis
me,nberment from England would help her.
The Rev. John Alabaster believed Romanism
largely responsible for the condition of the
southern part of the island and gssve it as his
opinion that the priests did not use their powers
to raise the people up.
The Rev. DR.. William Fawcett attributed the
birth of Irish trouble to Pope Adrian nv IS gift
of the island to King Henry. Poverty in the
island went hand in hand with Romanism, and
wherever the latter was found drunkenness
was found also. The consumption of whiskey,
he said. kept pace with the growth of Cathol-
cism. He was glad the Purnell land bill had
failed Of passage, and that Gladstone had been
defeated with it.
DR.. fairfield thought the prospects for Ire
land sad one if her salvation depended upon
the eradication OF Catholicism, while the Rev.
w. Fl. Burns was of the opinion that the ca
lamitons use Of whiskey among the men and
women and the Indifference Of the Catholic
priesthood were the chief causes Of the trouble
The absence cf manufacturing establishments,
he thought, was one reason OF The poverty of
the people.
The Rev. Joseph Caldwell thought a great
many only went to Ireland to look at the bad
places, admitted that bad whiskey had played its
part in bringing about the impoverished con-
dition Of the people fthe south of ireland. He
thought if the money now expended for bad
whiskey was put into good -four bad times in
Ireland would end.
1t will thus be seen that the Method
ist clergymen quoted above attribute
the troubles Of Ireland to whiskey and
the Catholic Church. Time and time
again it has been shown that Protestant
Ulster is exoelled in prosperity by both
Leinster and Munster. Undoubtedly
the cause of the Belfast riots can be
easily traced to intemperance and re-
ligious bigotry, but on what side did the
intemperance and intolerance prevail ?
Sympathizers with Orangeism should
not impeach the chastity Of irish Catho-
lie women. Statistics prove that the
ratio of female virtue stands higher in
Ireland tnan in any country under the
sun, and, in fact, the only portion of the
country where immortality prevails
"a in the Oronoa a;st,icta of
Ulster. AS the Milwaukee Cath
olic Citizen remarks, if the
Irish Catholics are poor it is chiefly be-
cause they were robbed of their lands
by the countrymen Of John Wesley, and
it i'll becomes the disciples Of Mr.. Wes-
ley to blame Irish poverty upon the VIC
Tins of this robbery rather than upon
the government that did the misdeed
and perpetuated it by system of mis-
rule.

THE CATHOLIC ORPHANS FAIR.
The fair now in progress in aid of

The fair now in progress in aid OF the
Catholic Orphan Asylum, has been SO
far very successful. This is just as it
should be. There is no more worthy
objects of charity in the world than the
orphans. The Catholic church, in years
gone py. has been noted for it's charity,
and taking the past as criterion we
have no doubt but what the members OF
the Church will sustain their honorable
record. At the bazar held last year
$40, 900 was realized for charitable pur-
poses, and we hope to be able to record
that at this one now going on at least
double the amount will be raised.
