LONDON. Sept. 22.-The public have
not yet had the whole history of Mr..
Munro's transmigration to the home
Office, and when the full particulars are
given in parliament Sir Charles Warren
will not look as black as he has been
painted. 1t will turn out, there is good
reason to believe. that the late assistant
commissioner was the direct represent
alive of the home secretary at Scotland
Yard, with very special Objectin view.
Sir Charles Warren has always objected
to the transformation of the detective
department into political police, and
was at lOggerheads with Mr.. Munro
over the latter's espionage of Irish
members of parliament and the further
attempt to connect some OF them with
convicted dynamiterS.

IMMIGRANTS AND THE CHURCHES
New York Pastors on the Needs of
the Foreign Population.

New YORK, Dec. 4.-Wm. Z. Dodge,
presided at the second days session of the
Christian Conference at Chickering Hall.
Rev. Vincent Piseck, pastor of the Bohemi-
an mission church, was the first speaker. He
said the $4,000 Bohemians in the city were.
contrary to general assumption, a peaceful
lot, well disposed toward the church and re-
ligion, but the Bohemian colony was cursed
with the tenement house system of cigar
making, prolific of many evils. Once fairly
prosperous. it had within recent years suf-
fered privati0n and want. The mummery
and superstition of the Roman Catholic
church which the thinking Bohemian mind
rejected, was responsible for the rank inf
delity of so many of these people. Here the
speaker launched forth into better arraign-
ment of the Church of Rome. under which
the patience of the audience became ex-
hausted, and the speaker was told his time
was up. He kept on speaking, however, and
1t was not until he had been reminded three
times, each time with greater emphasis, that
other speakers were waiting that he could
be torn from his subject. Mr.. Dodge then
made an apology saying 1t was for the Pro-
testant church TO prove 1t was better by
showing itself possessed of larger Christian
charity and it was not on the programme to
attack any church.
Rev. Antonio Arrighi, minister of the
Italian chapel at the Five Points House of
Industry, urged the necessity of educating
his countrymen who came here without evil
intentions but densely ignorant Of the ma
ture of free institutions. These must be
reached by pei sonal effort or not at all.
Rev, Ii. A. Monroe, (colored,) spoke kind
ly OF the Catholic church that had reinforced
three Protestant places of worship in striv
ing with the tough colored element in
Thompson street. About 1000 of the 10000
oh
nine churches were filled every Sabbath
night. But Sunday School work was behind
aud workers were badly needed.
Rev, DIR. Mac Arthur, of the Calvary Bap-
tist church, thought it was the duty of the
community to receive immigrants, but to in
sist that they must stay as Americans. They
should be brought into the churches. He
thought little of mission churches. The best
churches were none too good for the poorest,
and they should be always open.

CHICAGO, Fec. 4-The Chicago Herald
(Democratic) says of the message: There
is not passage in this important and sig
ni6cant State paper but impresses the coun-
try with sense that Grover Cleveland, as
President, was the right man in the right
place."
The Times (Democratic) says: 'Many mil
lions of citizens, ,lreading this last State paper
of Mr.. Cleveland's, will find themselves
deeply regretting the failure to re-elect him
to the Presidency"
The News independently says: 'sNone but
hide bound partisan can fail to be ar oused
to admiration of the man who, in the hour of
defeat, can still keep his rudder true and
absolutely suppress all personal feeling in
his last official utterances."
The Tribune (Republican) says; "The
message contains neither new thought nor
where the President has in the past year
made prodigious stride from tariff reform
to naked, absolute free trade. The President
/, bold and neryy and desires at least one
more round before he will acknowledge
himself beaten"
