Miss Clara H. Denslow is white
young lady from the Brockport Nor
NAL School, New York. The high
character of the school, together with
the recommendations from her teach
ers. renders it every way probable that
she will fill her position as teacher
with credit to herself and blessing to
the Institution.

Z bhdI 1NcN. y. " hayes WAS not CONG
and had not done, any missionary
work and was engaged in keeping
store for his brother, is q diabolical
and untrue report His first work
after reaching Brewerville was TO en-
gage IN Sabbath school work. Through
his efforts fine library was secured
and also money was raised for the
purchase of bell, and not more than
four weeks after Rev. Cartwright
arrived from America with a bell for
his church and Sunday school, came
the bell for the Baptist Sunday school
and church. During this time Bro
Hayes was prosecuting his missionary
work in this settlement. He was
also found preaching and teaching in
the various settlements and the towns
in Liberia. Also he was found
making his way into the interior as
lar as possible. Since Bro. Hayes'
arrival in Brewerville, we have great
cause to thank God for such worker
in the Baptist denomination. He is
still prosecuting his missionary work
and that without compensation. We
wish further to state that Bro. HAYES
is in good standing with every Bap-
tist church in Liberia. The report
that Bro. Hayes has been keeping
store for his brother is totally false.
In reply to the question, why this
statement has been so long delayed,
it has only been through the kindness
of some friend that Bro. Hayes OBJ
tanned a copy of the rn'asess AAs,vqso in
hin 4o3. T. mat Brewerville was no field
for missionary work, but il is the
largest settlement in Liberia. The
Presbyterian church of America and
the Methodist Episcopalt church each
have a mission station in this place.
Also the A. M. Zion Methodists have
station here, superintendent by Rev.
A. Cartwright, who is spoken of in
the Baptist Standard as the swell
known minister"
Brethren of North Carolina, how
long shall Rev. j. O. Hayes be perse-
cuted on account of the reports Of a
man in Brewerville, whom we know
is no friend of Bro. Hayes ?
And again, why does the Baptist
denomination fail to support mission
ary in this field, while other denoml-
nations are doing so?
The Scotland Presbyterians sent
out a missionary to this settlement
about the first of this year. If other
denominations find it SO important
field for missionary work, why DO the
North Carolina Baptists array them
selves against Rev. Hayes?
And now to North Carolina Bap-
lists especially we have endeavored to
give truthful statement, and we
trust that our readers will not mis-
construe our motives.
And still further, Rev. S. Davis
afirms that no missionary IN Liberia
to his knowledge, with means SO Inn
tied. has done more real missionary
work than Rev. J. 0. Hayes.
It has further been said by some Of
the accusers Of Bro. Hayes that before
leaving America he pledged not to
preach in Liberia but this promise
was made before he understood the
wants of Liberia, and as Rev. John
S. Washington recently said, Our
brethren in America have no idea OF
missionary work here"
Bro. Hayes says in closing his let
ter :" shall devote little attention
in the future to rebutting the state
ments made against ne, as think
that I can better employ my time"

the clothing-cutters' strike aud lockout was set
tied but it is probable that it will be renewed
tomorrow with more bitterness than before. A
meeting of the union was held this afternoon to
denounce the conduct of the manufacturers in

decided to order a strike in the shops of all tn
manufacturers who made the demand. The

Wisconsin is very proud of ''the strong man. 5"
as her Governor is called In the interviews
had by representatives of the Globe Democrat
with the delegates and prominent Republican
officials of Wisconsin to-day quite number of
references to Governor Rusk as presidential
possibility will be found. But there appear
more expressions to the effect that the presidens
tial nominee of the Republican party is yet to
be developed; that the one chosen will not be
from among the most prominently mentioned
Some of the most prominent Republicans of this
State take that view. Blaine is the immediate
choice of many, but, at the same time, there is
evidently considerable element of the party in
Wisconsin which is strongly opposed to his re-
nomination The outspoken objections to Blaine
constitute notable feature of these expressions.
Logan has almost as many friends as Blaine has
in Wisconsin. Robert T. Lincoln, Gresham and
Foraker are all strong second choices There
are but few John Sherman men here, and fewer
Edmunds men.

WHAT Is NEEDED.
Not a Repeal of the Tariff, but a Change in
Immigration Laws.
Philadelphia Telegraph.


Philadelphia Telegraph.
The tariff laws are the only bars of protection
set up for our workingmen, and if they should
be thrown down, all tho labor unions that were
ever formed would have no power whatever to
maintain wage-raLes They are determined, as
other rates are not by arbitrary rules of organ
ization. but ny supply and demand. When the
Irish immigrants offered to construct public
works for lower wages than the American de-
manded or would take, the job was given to
them; and when, later, the Italians offered to do
it for less than the Irish, the Job was given to
them; and when the Poles and Hungarlans un-
derbid the Welsh Irish and English coal and
iron workers, the latter were thrown out The
lowest bidder in the labor as in other markets
is the successful bidder and if there are bidders
bidding so low as to break the market, it is to
the immigration laws and not the tariff laws
that our workmen must look The former are
based upon the principle of absolute free trade
There is no duty on labor. 1t can come into our
ports by the ship-load daily, as it does without
money and without price, and by undertaking
our native workers. throw them out of job or
force them to accept the reduced wages In that,
and not in the tariff. will be found the cause of
miners and iron workers working for sixty
cents day, and they and their families living
in such poverty and squalor as were before never
known in this greatly favored country
What is required is not the repeal of the tariff
laws. That they might, with great and general
advantage be revised in such a wav as to pre-
vent monopoly In certain industries is true
but neither their modification nor repeal would
help our workingmen an iota, so long as our ports
| are always standing wide open to immigrants
flying from starvation wages to living wages far
below those which our workingmen have been
receiving, and which they should continue to re-
ceve, but which they cannot receive unless a
duty be imposed on foreign labor as we'll as on
things made by foreign labor. We have closed
one door for the protection of our workinrmen,
but we have left another wide open all the time

have done the former, there would be no com
plant heard in a short time of ever-decreasing
wages The fault is with our free-trade in,mi-

New Yor,x,s Next Mayor.

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-It is stated that Levi P.
Morton has been decided upon as the Republican
candidate for Mayor this fall The exposures of
the corruption existing under Democratic rule
have led the Republicans to look around for a
candidate who could bring to his support the i'm
mense vote that will be influenced through de-
sire for pure government outside OF party lines,
and Mr.. Morton was chosen. When he came to
this city last week he was asked to accept the
nomination. A reply is said to have been re-
ceived from him from Saratoga stating that he
would not decline if it we're offered him without
opposition. Ex-Mayor Cooper will undoubtedly
be the nominee of the County Democracy. The
Tammany Hall candidate is yet to be decided on.
