The exercise of civility costs one
nothing. It calls for no sacrifice of
time, money or interest. There is
nothing to consume or fatigue one
in this delightful exercise. It is
the spontaneous flow of good
affections, and consists in those
little offices of kindness which can
be discharged without trouble, and
leave no loss or inconvenience be-
hind them.

Result of the Elections.

LONDON, July mfr. Sullivan, Parnell-
lite, has been reelected to represent the
College Green division of Dublin in the
next parliament Mr.. W. Murphy, Par
nellite. has been returned from the
St. Patrick'S division. Thsy had 10
opposition. John Bright has been
reelected as member of the house for the
central division of Birmingham, and Mr..
Joseph Chamberlin for the west division.
Neither was opposed. To-day sixteen
Tory candidates, seven Unionists, eight
Liberals and two Parnellites had been
elected to the new house of commons in
uncontested districts.
DIn the election at Colchester to-day n.
J. Trotter Conservative poIled 1896
votes; R. K. Causton (Gladstonian) 1,7O1.
This first borough result is considered to
have special significance. The Pail Mall
Gazette said if Colchester went Liberal
the fact would give heart to
the party throughout the land.
The result shows that the Gladstonian can
didate lost ground. Among the districts
in which the Conservative candidates were
unopposed were Blackburn and Croydon.
although at the last election the Liberals
made a good fight at both places.
In Westminster, which has con-
siderable Irish vote, there was no
Gladstonian candidate to oppose Burdett-
Coutts. The Marquis of Home refused to
contest Seven Oaks or Hampstead in the
Gladstonian interests, and advised cleo
tors to vote for the Unionist candi-
dates. Harrington, Parnellite, is
declared reelected to represent
the Harleor division of Dublin
in the house of commons. Harrington
after both parties had completed their nom
nations objected to certain infermalities in
the nomination papers of Mackay. the
Unionist candidate. The objections were
sustained and the sheriff declared Harrng-

LAW AND ORDER.

The organization known as the Law and
Order league seems to be drifting away
from its original purpose and is assuming
the character of national police organic
alton. While it may be desirable, in view
of the disturbed condition of our social and
industrial relations, to have some sort of an
organization for the preservation of law and
order, it is questionable whether one
that is organized without authority
of law, and consequently freed from all
legal restraint is exactly the thing that is
needed. 1t is to be feared that such an or
ganization in time may become more dam
gerous to society than the strikes which it
is organized to put down. If such an or
ganiZation as the Law and Order league
was always certain to be composed of good
citizens, and alwas sure to be under the
control of conscientious leaders, then
it could be relied on to be of
good service to the community.
But if it grows into a powerful
organization, and falls under the domino.
ton Of ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS men. it
would be a perpetual menace to the public
peace. Organized for the purpose of taking
into its own hands the suppression of vio-
lence and the preservation of the public
peace, it could readily be converted into an
instrument of oppression, and be made the
subverter of law and order. We have no
need of a self-constituted police
in this country. If it is neces-
sary to have an enlarged police force
let it be done by the government and under
authority of law. Whenever a govern
ment, either local or national. is incapable
of enforcing its own laws and of protecting
the lives and property of its subjects, then
it is time for that government to be abol-
ished and another one substituted in it's

English people then sympathized with him.
MI. Beecher replied that he was much
touched by the kindness of his recention
and the words of sympathy and esteem
which he had heard When the dark
clouds were lowering over his head he did
not see them, because it had pleased God to
RAISE A RAINBOW
and he had only seen the clouds as thew
were sinking below the horizon. In the
prayer following the sermon Mr.. Beecher
asked Gods blessing upon the queen,
praying that her majesty might

thus leading the empire to higher and
more glorious civilization. He also prayed
that the Almighty would endow her males

TIE LAKE SHORE STRIKE.
There was the Usual Guard ON Dutl
But NO Trouble.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the GloDe
CHICAGO, July THAT there was no
disturbance connected with the movemen
of Lake Shore trains to-day in the neigh
borhood of the stock yards. was largely due
to the policy adopted by the managers of
the packing houses in forbdding their men,
on pain of dismissal, to interfere with
the officers or hands attending the
railway trains. All was quiet throughout
the day along the main tracks from Thirty
ninth street to Englewood and beyond.
The guard of Pinkerton men had been in
creased, but the extra force was happily
not required. Twelve new hands were
added to-day to the non-union force of the
Lake Shore swtchmen, which now makes
their number over sixty. Most of
these are hands from the East. who
will be supplanted by Chicago men, as
soon as the trouble is over. but none will
be taken back who have in any way had
part against the company in the present
strike. LAS long as these outsiders are en-
ployed at the switches" said Lake Shore
official, .'they will be exposed to danger
and will have to be guarded by police, but
when they are replaced by Chicago men
there will be no trouble" 1t was his opin-
ion that the trouble was about over.

MauP,ayers Fined.

The St. Paul league team played game
of base bail with the West Side Red Caps
yesterday afternoon, which was character
lied by much soldering by the league men.
During the eighth inning the Red Caps
scored five runs. tying the score at eleven,
and knocked Sullivan out of the box. He
was succeeded by Duryea. ST. Paul being
first at the bat. made three runs in the
first half of the ninth, and the Red Caps
went in, scored run and had two men
on bases. 1t was then Egan's turn at the
bat. but Sibley stepped to the bat and
made two-base hit, bringing in the two
men and tying the score. Barnes then
found that Sibley had batted out of turn
and the umpire decided him out and that
the two men must return to their bases.
Egan was put out and when Sibley pre-
sented himself he was told he could not
strike, whereupon the Red Caps withdrew
from the field. The umpire, Mr.. Fitzsm-
mons, gave the game to St. Paul by score
of 9 to 0. Manager Barnes fined Sullivan
$50 and the others Of the team SIS each.

POLITICAL INCONSISTENCY.

Consistency ought to be as much of a
jewel in policies as in anything else, but it
isn't. An illustration of how utterly in
consistent a political party can be is found
in the resolutions adopted by the Repub-
lican convention held on Wednesday. The
Republicans of Pennsylvania in their state
convention at Harrisburg denounced the
Democratic party as free-trade party and
held that because of its free-trade policy it
was to be regarded as the enemy of Ameri-
can institutions and false to every public
interest. There was nothing too mean for
the Pennsylvania Republicans to say of the
Democratic party, simply because it
advocates reduction of the tar
iff. On the same day and Just
about the same hour that the Pennsylvania
Republican convention was decorating the
Democratic party for its free trade notions,
a convention of Minnesota Republicans in
session at Brainerd was declaring in favor
of tariff reductions and indorsing the con-
gresham from that district for voting for

PORTER MADE HAPPY.

1t is to be presumed that FITZ JOHN
PORTER was an exceedingly happy man
yesterday, when his long struggle for justice
was completed and crowned with success
by the presidents signature to the bill re-
storing him to the army. Gen. PORTER
has good reason for rejoicing. The victim
of political persecution for twenty-four
years, the scapegoat of another's fault, he
has in vain been asking restoration, not for
the rank and emoluments connected with it.
but simply to vindicate his honor. That
which the Republicans refused him from
motives of party policy, the Democrats
grant him as simple right 1t will be re-
membered as one Of the party's most
creditable acts as long as the history of the
war continues to be read

Yesterdays CONFERENCE.

The conference of protesting Democrats.
which was held in this city yesterday. was
fairly representative convention. 1t was
not SO numerously attended as the project
ors of the movement had hoped, but it con-
sisted of more active. working Democrats
than those who are not in sympathy with
its object wished to see While there
were those present who had evidently been
soured by disappointment in office
seeking, it would not be just to denominate
the convention as a gathering of chronic
kickers and sore-headS. On the contrary,
there was an earnestness displayed by the
conference which was of itself guarantee
of the sincerity of the individual members.
Without'regard to whether these gentlemen
were Justified or not in the action they have
taken, we must recognize the fact that they
are Democrats. many Of them veterans
in the cause of Democracy, and all of them,
with possibly very few exceptions, active,
earnest working Democrats. whose opinions
are entitled to respectful consideration in
the party councils. If they are in error
they are honestly so, and their error is par
TALLY, at least, the result Of that Demo-
cratic education which teaches that resist
ance to autocracy is duty to God and
country. In view of this fact, those who
differ with these gentlemen as regards either
the policy or principle of their vigorous pro-
testationS are willing to accord them sim
cerity of purpose and honesty of Intentions
1t is to be deplored that dissensions of any
kind should exist in the Democratic party
in Minnesota at this crisis. 1t is useless
now to revert to the causes which have led
to these discussions. We recognize the
fact that they exist, and the aim of every
loyal Democrat should be to SET himself to
work to heal the wounds that have
been made and to place the party in
good condition to go forth conquering and
to conquer. tits usually bad policy to mu-
tiny in the face of the enemy. Party disci-
pline is absolutely essential to political sue
cess. Hence it is that many of the leading
Democrats Of this state refused to give
countenance to yesterdays convention. be-
cause they did not feel disposed to give en-
couragement to the spirit of insubordina-
ton which characterized it. They felt
that if those who had been entrusted with
leadership had betrayed the confidence of
the party or had abused the power which
had been granted them, the proper time
and place for court-martialing the offenders
was at the state convention. where the
whole party would be in council. While
bossism and autocracy and oligarchy and
every form of imperialism is offensive to
Democratic instincts, so are star-chamber
proceedings, If the protest which was is
sued by yesterdays conference fails to
carry weight with it and to have an effect
upon the Democracy Of the state it will not
be because of some of the admirable Demo-
cratic sentiments expressed in the address,
but it will be because of the methods which
the protestants adopted in getting their
views before the public.

given at Madison Square garden for the

will forfeit 81, 900 if Sullivan fails to ''best''

Such an exhibition is warranted to raise
