drew's Sustained by Their Churches.
AS the friends Of the pastor of Ascension
Church had for long time confidently pre-
dicted, the annual election OF vestrymen
last evening sustained DR.. Elliott. Messrs.
II. W. Garnett, n. w. Burchell, G. G. Dun
canson and A. j. Falls were retired, and
General lIalabird and Messrs. w. Il. Riley,
NJ. NJ. Mcdonald and G. G.. Lee were
chosen In their stead. After the result had
been announced statement signed by
iifty-two ladies of the congregation was
read, which stated that they would have
voted to sustain the pastor, being pew
holders, had they been allowed to vote.
The paper was, however, withdrawn, rs II

marks byGeneral King on the kind feelings
that existed toward the pastor the meeting
Adjourned.
a large and interesting meeting Of the
parishoners Of st. Andrews Church was held
last evening, It being the general under
standing that two factions In the vestry
would measure strength. DR.. Perry, the
rector, having become unlntcntionally in-
volvod IN the dispute rendered his rcsgna-
tion, but the meeting promptly expressed
IFS confidence IN his reCtOrship and said that
his resignation would he calamity TO the
church. The following vestry were chosen:
Messrs. Joseph Burden, 4. u. Hood, Il.

Amusement Notes.

"Esmeralda" drew two large audiences to
Herzog's Opera House yesterday, notwith-
standing the strong attractions at the other
theatres. Manager Ierzog has the happy
faculty OF selecting his programmes SO as
to meet the wants Of the public. This was
again attested by the hearty reception ac-
corded "Esmeralda." The play is well
acted and beautifully mounted, aud is well
worth seeing.
The advance sale of reserved seats for the
engagement of the American Opera Com
papy, which plays a season of three nights
and one matinee at Albaughs Grand Opera
House next week, has been very large. 1t
is evident that the musical public will give
this magnificent company hearty reccp-
ton.
An excellent entertainment Is being given
at Barton & Logan's tliis week. There are
number of first-class specialists. Among
them might be mentioned John Dewey, Joe
Burgess, Chrissie, the four comets. "The
Bankers Luck" the afterpiece, is well
written and well acted, and is a satire on
New York society. The audience was large.
One of the interesting features of the
Theatrical Mechanics benefit on Thursday
will he the striking and setting of scene
in full view of the audience, giving an idea
of the work done while the curtain is down
at regular performances. The change will
be made from an elaborate interior to a
handsome exterior scene,

The Dem ocr..tic party since coming
into power has not touched any of the
laws which govern commerce and finance,
such as laws relating to the tariff, internal
revenue, coinage. the banks, railroads, or
any agricultural. mining, or manufac
turing interests. Il therefore cannot
be said that Democratic legislation has
anything to do with the business paralysis.
Wing.
1t seems to us that there has been
pretty severe touch to all these interests
in the Morrison tariff bill, as first intro
duced, and in its amended form. The I'M
limited coinage act was q hvavy touch of the
financial system, including the banks. All
these interests would be seriously affected
by enacting into law the propositions
which have been introduced in Congress
by the Democrats. None of them have
passed because the Republicans, with a
few Democrats, stand solidly against
them. It is apprehension of Democratic
Legislation that has caused paralysis to
business, and this will not be removed I'M
til Congress adjourns, without disturbing
the tariff OF laws affecting finance. The
fact that the popular branch of Congress
and the Executive department are in Dem-
ocratic control is a menace to business of
all kinds.

That Ireland Is not capable of selfgovernment
after SO many years of serfdom. so it was said
of the colonies, and there were good and great
men here whose apprehensions led them to
oppose constitutional or republican form of
gov eminent. Ireland has furnished England
her greatest statesmen, her greatest orators,
her greatest soldiers, her greatest authors, and
Ireland's songs are sung in almost every tongue
where civilization obtains.
Blot from British history the names of Burke,
of Swift, of sheridan, of Goldsmith, of Curran,
of Grattan, of Emmtt, of O'Connell, of We'll
lington, and host of others, and McCauley
could have written his history in two volumes.
and completed it before he died.
In my endeavOrs to analyZe Mr.. Gladstone s
bill was struck very forcibly with one feature
of it.. All commerce for Ireland must be landed
at British port and be transhipped to Ireland,
and all customs duties and excise taxes must
be collected by England.
Instantly comparison ran through my
mind, L thought of tea and Boston Harbor,
and the astute and INSCRIPTIONS Lord North
who suggested that all tea be landed at Liver
pool, where England would pay duty, and
then tranship it to the colonies with this duty
O 1ded to the price of the tea. "Begin in this
way said he, land the principle. once estab-
lis led, Will work On as quietly as the moth i'll
the cloth" 1t was the knowledge of this clam
destine suggestion coming to the colonies that
brought forth the indignant exclamation,
"Mill1ons for defense, but not a cent for trib-
ute.''
It behooves all who sympathize with, and
would aid, Ireland to think of this, and to bear
in mind that truthful expression of Michael
Davitt, "That the heaviest blow England re-
ceived was the destruction of her industries by
England" From 1850 to 1899, inclusive. Eng
land passed act after act forbidding the expor-
tation from Ireland into England of any other
products, including her woollen and linen
manufactures, and finally, by her navigation
laws, required, lust as Gladstone does now,
that goods for Ireland should be landed in
England and reshipped
This is the heavy blow referred to by Davitt.
1t was this that destroyed Irish industries. 1t
was this that impoverished the Island. 1t was
this that depleted the population. 1t was this
that pauperized labor, and manacled the limbs
of the Irish Workingman
HAVING done this England hacHnla the
labor country of the civilized world. AS irish
Americans; as Americans ALL it behooves us
to guard we'll against the insidious policy of
putting the work of such labor in competition
with the already oppressed faboring men of
our own country.
Now, my friends, permit me to say that this
is the sixth time have been honored with an
invitation to speak for the cause of Ireland,
and have each time responded with pleasure
to myself. This is the second time in this city.
Upon this stand tonight you have q number of
distinguished gentlemen, representing all sec
lions of our great country, some of them of
your own nativity. want to hear them, and
so do you.

The Lesson of the Riot.

One has but to glance over the names of
the Anarchist leaders in the Chicago riot.
to see where the real trouble lies. A lot
of pestiferous Polish, Hungarians and for
eign outlaws are the self appointed chief
tains of the movement, and it is to their
incendiary preaching that the whole trouble
is due. The material upon which they
operated and which attempted to carry
into execution their vicious schemes, is but
the drift from the stream of convict labor
imported into this country to undermine
and pauperize the honest workmen.-
These creatures have been attracted to
this country not only by promises of gain,
but by the further assurance that it was
the Gland of the free, and that each one
