Baltimore,s Commercial Interests.

The Wholesale Grocery and Sugar Asso-
citation of Baltimore, and other business asso-
Citations, are petitioning for the appointment
of Thaddeus S. Sharrets, of Baltimore, as one
of the Appraisers at the Custom House in that
city. As to Mr.. Sharretts we know nothing
personally, but we endorse the position of the
Baltimore business men, that the Apprais-
ers should be business men of sound discre
ton and staunch integrity. Merchants are
more deeply interested in these officers than
in any other under the government, and have
constant business relations with them. Upon
their capacity and discretion they are partly
dependent for their prosperity. At one time
Baltimore was the leading city in the sugar
trade, but by customs determinations and
otherwise that trade has almost departed. 1t
is proposed to revive it, and another sugar
refinery is to be established shortly. The
success or failure of this undertaking will de-
pend in large degree on the capacity and
fairness of the Appraisers, and we hope the
Wholesale Grocery and Sugar Association
and other business men of Baltimore, num-
bering 5000 we understand, will be granted
the reasonable and modest request that at least
one of the three Appraisers be a man of bust
ness training, and of their own recommeda-
ton.
Mr.. Sharretts, we learn, is not seeking to
be an Appraiser, but is put forward by vari-
Gus business associations of Baltimore for the
position, and has consented to serve if ap-
pointed His endorsements are certainly
strong, as to character and capacity. while
his Democracy is also strongly vouched for.
The whole people of Maryland are interest
ed in the growth and prosperity of Baltimore,
and are willing to aid her merchants and man.
ufacturers in anything that will tend to en-
nance her importance as trade centre.
Therefore. let the business men have an APP
praiser of their own selection.

A Check to the saturnalia.
From the Nep FORK Star.

From the NeC YORK otdT.
Two or three weeks ago the Star Washing
ton correspondence contained the announce
ment that the President had referred 2S5 prl-
vate pension bills to Commissioner Black for
examination and report. No little surprise
was felt in political circles at the time touch
ing the Presidents action. Both parties had
gone mad with demagogy. Republicans and
Democrats we're straining every nerve to ex-
eel each other in fulsome adulation OF the
'sold soldier element, and in making capital
with the soldier vote at the expense of the
public treasury. The very wise and patriotic
expedient of pensioning those who had suf-
fered in the cause of the Union had passed
beyond its original limitations and become
inflated beyond recognition even by its pro-
iectors. Raid after raid upon the treasury
was organized, each one hungrier and more
savage than its predecessor. Members strug-
gled for precedence in the number and liber-
ality of the pensions proposed by them. Mil
lions were piled on millions as the orgie deep
ened 1t would have been a farce had it not
already become tragedy.
About this time, when thoughtful men of
both parties we're beginning to be terrified at
the prospect, when one of the leading Demo
Gratis in the House had drawn up q statement
of the hundreds of millions. the gigantic ex-
penditures, involved in the various pension
schemes then before Congress, and when the
fathers of the party were asking themselves
whether the Democracy could afford to make
itself responsible for such incredible waste
fulness, the torrent of private awards was
precipitated upon the President. The authors
and contrivers Of these special donations evil
IDENTIFY had not considered the possibility of
hesitation on Mr.. Cleveland's part. Insane
themselves, they were incapable of imagining
reason and moderation in another. Hence
their surprise at the President delay. They
had expected that he would be eager to pre-
side over the saturnalia. He sobered them
and treasured the rest of the country by
showing that he was in full possession of his
faculties.
There are abundant indications, indeed, that
Mr.. Cleveland does not intend to permit the
record of his administration to be overloaded
with folly and wickedness. Against this cpl
demic of licentious prodigahty it is evident
he intends to bring to bear the salutary inAu-
ences of his authority. Already there are
rumors that not only the extravagant abuses of
the pension policy, but other malodorous and
disreputable jobs are to be passed under the
guillotine, and one can discern a reddening in
the political East as though the sun of COM
mon sense and patriotism were about to rise.

The Riots in the West.

The riots in Chicago and Milwaukee were
but the legitimate results of an almost crimi-
nal neglect on the part of the authorities.
Anarchists and Socialists have been allowed
free license to preach their doctrines of MUIR
der and arson, and to publicly advise the use
of the pistol and the torch against all who
have by industry accumulated property. The
unsettled condition of labor afforded them a
good opportunity to put their doctrines in
practice, and gave them strong ally in the
idle laborers who were easily misled into acts
of lawlessness and violence.
Speis, Schwab, Most and other Anarchists
should have been imprisoned or banished
upon their first appearance as agitators here,
or better still, should not have been per-
mitted to land in this country. All of these
were outlaws in their own country, and fled
to America to escape the prison or halter.
America is the asylum of the oppressed OF
every land, but it is not the refuge of the law
less. This is the land of liberty, not of free
license, and the sooner Anarchists and So
cialists are made to understand this the better.

Tine Duty of the State.

The militia of Maryland should be promptly
and thoroughly organized. We do not know
that we have any Of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee social brotherhood in this state, but if
they should make a demonstration in Balti-
more it would be well to be prepared to give
them warm reception. The last legislature
appropriated $4,000 to arm the militia OF the
state, and they should be armed and drilled
-EdstOR Star.
The recommendation of the Star is the die
tate of prudence and forecast. The dangeris
not over, and it is the part of wisdom to pre-
pare for it. 1t is too late to begin preparation
in a crisis like that at Chicago or Milwaukee,
Since the outbreak in those two Western
cities we may look for similar outbreaks else
where. The feeling is contagious, and will
be likely to spread.
The Star may dismiss its doubts as to the
existence of the Nihilistic element in Balti-
more. John Most and Justus Schwab have
both been there and harangued the commu-
nistic element, who applauded their utter
anees TO the echo. These men have been
permitted. under the administrations of Mayor
Latrobe and Mayor Hodges, to utter, without
hindranee or interference, their seditious and
incendary appeals, advising their adherents
TO hang and shoot and burn and kill. The
counsel of these outlaws has borne its fruit in
Chicago aud Milwaukee, and may bear similar
fruit in Baltimore. How long since the blood
of her citizens flowed in her streets through
mob violence? Should such a state of things
occur again, her authorities cannot say we are
bIameless, since they winked at these incen-
diary proceedings of Most and Schwab, who
did not 90 into corner to utter their intol-
cradle inccndiarism, but spoke out with bold
ness and distinctness, and their utterances
were duly recorded in all the city journals.
It is time for us, as people, to pause in
the federation we have extended to the out
casts of Europe. They have come in and
partakcn of our hospitality, and are now
ready to requite our kindness towards them
by throwing us and our wives and children
ont of DOORS 0utcasts and ingrates as they
are, they know nothing and care nothing for
the principles of civil liberty, and utterly de-
spise the rights of person and property. The
only argument that they can appreciate is
such as they heard at the mouth of the snusket
in Milwaukee. In the present state of the
country it is foolhardy, it is criminal, not to
make preparation for the worst. If the coun-
try does not awake to a speedy realization of
its true condition, the only remedy for
existing evils will be through blood. The
way of safety is the way of all necessary pre-
canton and preparation.

No War in Europe.

The threatened war between Greece and
Turkey has been averted by the Intervention
of England, France, Germany, Russia and
Italy. Greece was DESTROYS of retaking from
Turkey some of her lost territory, and but for
the intervention of other governments would
have undertaken to do so. As between Greece
and Turkey, Greece would have been worsted
in the fight, and would have lost more of her
territory. The spunk of the little power is to
be admired, however, and she was only re-
strained from declaring war by the blockade
of her ports by the vessels of the united
powers. The intervention of other govern
ments was matter of self interest. Had
Greece and Turkey engaged in war, all Europe
would have been involved. Russia could not
see the Porte donlinions enlarged, and would
have sided with Greece. England could not
let Turkey be divided by Greece and Russia,
and would have gone to the rescue of Turkey.
Germany, in that event, would have endeavor-
ed to stretch herself down to the Mediterra-
mean, and that would have involved France
and Italy, who do not desire the German en-
pire to be extended.

Labor Notes.

General Master Workman Powderly, of the
knights of Labor, has issued a call to the
various assemblies of the order for a special
session of the General Assembly, to be held
in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, May 18th. The
causes leading to the calling of the session
are given as follows: l. The rapidly in
creasing membership of the order requires
changes in the laws which the General Ex
ecutive Board have no authority to make.
2. The laws in relation to the government OF
boycotting are wholly inadequate to compel
obedience on the part of assemblies that be-
lieve in boycotting for every offence, whether
great or small. 3. The laws in relation to
strikes do not give the General Executive
Board power to interfere in such matters
until after the strike has been inaugurated.
f. The order has become involved in diff
culties with trade societies, and an effort is
being made to create rupture between these
societies and the Knights of Labor.
The Furniture Manufacturers Associate on
of Chicago, at meeting on Saturday night,
adopted the following: Resolved, That
hereafter no member of this association will
knowingly employ in his factory any Com
munist, Anarchist, Nihilist or Socialist, or
other person denying the right of private
property or recommending destruction or
bloodshed as remedies for existing evils.
That this Association hereby agrees that ten
hours shall constitute days labor, but any
manufacturer whose orders are not sufficient
to warrant his keeping his factory open for
SO many hours may regulate the hours of
labor by the demands of his business, and
that wages shall be paid by the hour on the
old terms.
The piano makers in New York who are
on strike for ten hours pay for eight hours
work met on Sunday to listen to resolutions
by their Grand Lodge, declaring their strike
to he a failure and ordering the men back to
their shops on Monday morning The reso-
lutions were adopted.
All the railroads in Chicago resumed oper-
atoms on Monday morning, the strike of the
freight handlers having collapsed.

In his report for the year ended April 80,
Third Auditor Williams of the Treasury De-
partment shows that S14, 44G were saved in
the matter of compensation to clerks. Under
Republican rule government clerks were al
lowed leaves of absence, with pay, for long
periods and often. In consequence large
number of clerks had to be carried. Under
Democratic rule clerks have been allowed
only such vacations as the law permits, and
the Department has been able to reduce the
number considerably. During the year ended
April 80, 1885, the number of days that the
clerks were absent aggregated GIGS, and
during the succeeding year 8, 491, saving to
tie government of 2,677 days.

The Pedler,s License Law.

A correspondent asks ''for the ADVOCATE
construction of the new license law that goes
into effect June LIST, and whether or not it
applies to hucksters."
The act passed by the last General Assem-
bly,, relating to the license to be hereafter
paid by pedlers, has excited good deal OF
interest in various localities, and especially
where country hucksters are most numerous.
1t can be safely asserted, however, that the
new law does not apply toany person who was
exempt under the old law. In fact the only
change made by the new law is. that it in
creases the license to be paid, and does not
comprehend any person or class of persons
not within the operation of the old law.
