THE attempt to discredit the law against the importation of laborers under contract by trying to enforce it against ministers and others not of the class of 'laborers, mechanics and artisans" mentioned in the bill ought to be drowned upon by the courts, which was thus called upon to make an act of congress ridiculous. The law is not very skillfully drawn, but there is nothing in it which justifes the appeal that has been made to the United States district court of New York to send back Rev E. w. Warren, called from England to be the rector of the church of the Holy Trinity in New York city. This is not the first attempt to cast ridicule and contempt upon this law, and it's friends would do we'll to procure it's amendments so that there can be no ground for extending it's meaning so as to bar out anyone or any thing except the wholesale importation Of foreign laborers, with the necessary result of depressing the price of American labor

Ir is refreshing to see our democratic president put his foot down so firmly upon private pension bills which should never have passed the senate.

NEws comes from Rome that the Irish clergy are to be instructed to refuse absolution to any Catholic not renouncing membership in the national league. The policy if carried out is not unlikely to prove disastrous to the cause of the church in Ireland. It will be regarded, whether rightly or not, as pure politics. The Irish people VII be apt to turn deaf ear to the pope when he is apparently mere mouthpiece of the tories Waterbury American.
 Our esteemed contemporary is noted for it's cautiousness, and ordinarily keeps a sharp lookout for breakers, but in this case it is foundering about on foreign sea. Where it finds a precedent to war rant the assertion or belief that the Irish people would turn deaf ear to the pope we do not know, but it is certain that his tory failed to record it.

German, apparently mechanic; his wife, a heavy looking blonde, and a pert child, 10 years of age. They were followed by two couples of flashily attired youths and young girls, and stout elderly man, accompanied by foxy looking young fellow and two women, attired in grotesquely juvenile cos tumes, who might be any age between 30 and 50 The whole party were in hilarious condition, and the assumption of cheap blonde wigs by the males, coupled with the short skirts of tho women, seemed to indi- cate their recent participation in a bal masque.
 ''Talking of all night passengers, we often have fel1ers ride with us who have lots of money about lem" the conductor remarked. "Why, one night had a reglar country softly who had como in from New Jersey on one of the late trains He had run across some bunco steerers, but detective warned him, and then he was so scared that he got on my car and stayed there all night He showed me big roll of bills, and said he had $4 900, with which he was goin' to pay for some land or sumthin'. He did not know enough to go to a respectable hotel and leave his money in their safe, so he decided to stay by me until the banks opened"
 Here the car reached Fourteenth street, and the noisy masqueraders a]ighted.
