THE protectionists are still bucking
against the inevitable in the discus
sion of the tariff schedule. Yesterday
was wool day, and the changes were
rung upon that staple. The wool
growers received cold comfort, and
the new schedule was ordered nto
effect October 1st, 1888. Unless the
senate interposes its authority and
blocks this senseless movement for
the destruction of wool growing in
terests, the sheep men of this country
will soon go into permanent retire
ment. Wool manufacturers stand
partially protected in order to secure
the vote of manufacturing Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island.

ONE of the most important move
ments recently made in the interests
of American free labor is the work of
investigating the violations of law on
the part of importers of contract labor
The most pertinent investigation will
be in the cases of imported italian la
borers at New York, and of Chinese
laborers on the Pacific slope. Speaker
Carlisle has constituted his committee
and it will probably sit through the
recess OF congress, being empowered
to send for papers and persons.
THE national prison association met
in session at Boston yesterday. Twen-
ty-one states were represented by one
hundred and sixty delegates, and
Texas was not among the number left
out. The great interest conferred
around the discussion of the O'NeiIl
bill now before congress, which, if it
passes, will do away with the present
system of leased contract labor. The
chances are that the bill will receive
an adverse vote in the south where the
leasing of contract labor meets with
much more favor than in the north.

A New Preacher.

Charles BOynton 1--WE believe thev
discard the Rev. came to our town on
Saturday and preached in the streets
on Sunday afternoon and evening.
He comes from Long Island, is of a
sect that gives no name but is known
by several-Disciples of Christ, Ad-
ventists, &c. Their distinctive feature
is Bible reading, discarding all the con-
ventiOnalities of church organization.
and wOrshiping in the most primitive
way. The novelty of such preaching
attracts the attention of the curious
and often gets hearers from a class who
never or rarely hear it otherwise.
Some ten years ago a preacher of this
sect named Hehey went to Milford.
He claimed to be in harmony with the
MethOdists and associated with them
a little at first. A large number of
them were thus induced to attend his
Bible readings. He had a captivating
style and became very popular as a
teacher. Soon the church was spoken
against as an institution of man and
not of God, and was thus sinful. The
church was considerably agitated and
injured at the time, but has entirely
recovered, while the dozen or so who
have stuck to the Heney faith through
these years are virtually rendered a
negatiOn in the public affairs of life.
whereas they used to be among the
most active. Individually, so far as is
known, they live blameless lives, but
are too good to go to church, to a Sun
day school, or even to the polls to vote
for the rulers of civil government,
There was one thing Mr.. Heney could
not do-furnish wings for translation
from this mundane sphere.

A Successful Rector.

Rev. J. e. Grammer, who was rec
tor of St. Peters church in this town
between 25 and 80 years ago, is still
green in the memory of many of our
citizens both for his ability in expound-
ing the scriptures and his evangelestic
spirit as a minister. He left here for
Baltimore. How he has succeeded
there is thus set forth in paragraph of
the Baltimore SuR of Monday:
The Rev. DR.. Julius f. Grammer
entered yesterday upon the twenty
fifth year of his service as rector ofsSt.
Peters z. e. Church, Druid Hill avenue
and Lanvale street. In announcing
the fact to the congregation DR.. Gram
mer said: The best years of my life
have been given to St. Peters. l have
preached in season and out of season,
been preserved in health, upheld in
temptation, restored, defended and
blessed. 1 have sent at least a dozen
young men into the ministry, includ-
ing my son, the Rev. Carl E. Gram
mer, and the Rev. Edwin Richardson,
son of our assistant minister, the Rev.
Samuel Mcdonald Richardson. Ihave
lived to testify to the mercy and grace
of God in all these years. The total
offerings in that time have been $275,-
S95.72. The number of communicates
added to the church has been 1926 (;
baptised, 733; confirmed, 955; mar
ried, 334; buried, 662. The present

A New YORK paper has the follow
ing item in reference to the large class
of people who make a pilgrimage to
Europe for the summer:
Probably twenty-five thousand
American women went to Europe this
summer and more than half as MANY
American men went with them to keep
them supplied with money. They
rOamed from London to Paris. from
Paris to Venice and from Venice to
Berlin, and wherever they shopped.
Now they are nearly all home again.
talking over their bargins, displaying
their gowns, vaunting the skill of their
favOrite dressmaker and planning what
they will buy next year. Paris is the
banner city for shopping, of course,
where there are many stores similar to
the glittering Sixth-aye. ones of this
city, only bigger, and more of them.
and where the art of displaying CHEAP
goods on bargain counters is brought
to perfection. In London bric-a-brac
IS not so cheap as on the Continent
and the methods Of selling and show
ing goods are more conservative. but
the bargains in heavy and staple ma
terials are better. But in both capitals
the civility and eagerness to show the
stock on the part Of the clerks is in
marked contrast with the air of re-
morse with which the New York sales
lady parts with her goods. Neverthe-
less the remOrse and rooted desire to
o6struet traffic is not shared in by the
New York proprietor of the store, who
Is now spreading his tempting wares
with rare skill and fine eye for gen.
eral effect and wOman's peculiarities.
There is no doubt that myster-
ious magic turks in that word bargain. ,
The desire to get something for moth
ing is almost universal, and the nearer
the approach to that equivalent the
better the bargain"
