Political Notes.

The anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans was celebrated by a banquet by the
Manhattan Club, of New York, on Saturday,
at the Hoffman House. President Cleveland
sent letter Of regret,in which he said. 1.-THE
anniversary of the battle which illustrates the
courage and military skill of Andrew jackson
should be fittingly celebrated by an associa-
ton whose name indicates belief in the
political principles which he steadfastly main
taIned. The lesson Of his rugged honesty and
his vigorous insistaHoe Upon the rights cannot,
in these days, be too often studied and en-
forced. 1t is especially encouraging TO find
business men associated together for the pur-
pose of contemplating these things and ad.
vancing such political interests as seems TO
their practical judgments necessary to the
of the country. No political
theory is valuable, unless it benefits, in its
application, the business of the people, and
when our business men engage more generally
in political affairs we shall have safer aud
better politics.n

Parsons and Politics.


Rev. DIR. Burchard-he of the three ca
balistic r 's.-aRum, Romanism and Rebel
lion"-which alliterative sentence brought
him into sudden and unenviable notoriety,
is said to have declared himself for Presi-
dent Cleveland Whereupon, that sturdy
old Democratic journal, the Boston Globe,
exclaims-aN thanks. Please stay where
YOU are. The Democratic party has no use
for you"
Strange, untoward fate of the Republi-
can party Just as it was about to get
rid of one DR.. Burchard, another steps in
to supply his place,-the Rev. DIR. W. T..
D. GLENN. This gentleman, at the meet
ing of the Methodist Ministers Association,
in Baltimore, on Monday, announced HIM
self greatly scandalized by the President
sending to the Pope, on the occasion of his
jubilee, copy of the Constitution of the
United States, and addressing it to ellis
Holiness Pope Leo" The Rev. gentleman
complains that this action of the President
is an attempt 'to have us (the .. S. gov
eminent, we suppose recognize the sacer-
dotal power of the Pope of Rome" What
a lame conclusion from such premises. He
would have had more ground to stand on,
if he had said it was an attempt on the part
of the President to have the Pope recog-
nize the Constitution of the United States.
A series of resolutions were introduced
condemning this action of the President, and
committee of seven gravely appointed to
consider and report upon the same
"His Holiness is the recognized title
of the Pope, just as reverend" is of a
clergyman, every Reverend" of dean,
s.Right Reverend" of bishop, and "Most
Reverend" of an archbishop. And the
american reporter is careful to tell the
public that DIR. GLENN "never voted the
Republican ticket in his life, but sis in
accord with the views and principles of the
Democratic party, except on the liquor
question" And, pray, what are the views
and principles of the Democratic party on
the liquor question? We would like to
know, for very few persons besides DIR.
GLENN, are posted on this subject. Let it
be noted, that, although DIR. GLENN is re-
presented to be Democrat, in converse
ton with representative of the Baltimore
american, he is reported as saying che
considered the act of the President dis
tinct bid for the Catholic vote to help re-
elect him as President, and he thought the
act had given Cleveland the inside track
with such people over Blaine.
His solicitude for Blaine don't tally very
well with his self-declared Democracy. But
let that pass. This whole proceeding is
but another evidence that clergymen make
poor politicians. If they would let politics
alone and attend strictly to their mission
for the good of souls, they would much
better deport themselves in accordance with
their holy Office. They make sad work of
il when they undertake to play the role of
politicians.

Strikes and Loeke4ts.


Tho Philadelphia Ledger, in an article
on "Do Strikes Pay2" quotes largely from
the report of Mr.. Carroll d. Wright,
Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor,
which has just been made to the Secretary
of the Interior The 'tstrike' and the
lockout" says the Ledger, are twin broth
ers, and must be considered together. The
loss to employees accruing from these two
causes in the last six years aggregate nearly
sixty millions; or, to be more exact, Mr..
Wright figures it up at $50, 948, 8S2.. To
this must be added s34, lG4, 9l4 as loss to
the employers. Thus we have as the ag-
gregate loss to employers and employees
over ninety-four millions of dollars in six
years Mr.. Wright does not vouch for the
absolute accuracy Of these figures. They
are founded upon the best information at
tainable, after diligent inquiry, and he
thinks they are under, rather than over the
mark.
To this vast sum must be added the loss
to the communities where the strikes and
lockouts occurred, and the total would no
donbt swell the aggregate losses to more
than one hundred millions Of dollars.

The Blaine Boom.

The York York Erening Post, one of
the able journals of the country, recently
quoted the utterances of the Chicago Tn
Luae, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the
Omaha Bee, the San Francisco Argonaut,
the Philadelphia North Americdn, and the
Philadelphia Bulletin, all influential Re
publican papers, and once strong Blaine
supporters, to show that the Blaine boom,
recently started, has died out and that the
Maine statesman cannot win against Presi-
dent Cleveland. While Mr.. Blaine is a
bold and dangerous man, he is also the
most available Republican leader. He can
arouse more enthusiasm than any other
man, and yet it is true he would meet with
more opposition in his own party. The
enthusiasm he would arouse would about
osset the opposition his candidacy would
beget, as enthusiasm among the voters tells
heavily in campaign. There is q vast
difference between quiet. and active and
hearty support. Neither Sherman, Ed
munds nor Hawley, could enthuse their
party much, nor draw from the opposition.
Blaine drew heavily from the Democratic
vote in 1884, and might do so in 1888, but
not to such an extent as before, while Cleve
laad would more than double his Republi-
can supporters. No man can win against
Cleveland, and to Democrats it matters very
little who the Republicans nominate. Still,
Mr.. Blaine, We believe, is the strongest
candidate the Republicans can put up.
Among the leaders his boom is dying out,
but the enthusiastic, hurrah voters, are
solidly for him.

The press may be said to be, in some
sense, "a light that shineth in darkness. !"
Among Maryland journals We have the
Sun, that gives eight for ALL the E2ec-
fric Light, at Havre de Grace, the veneer
able Torch Light, at Hagerstown, and now
the Head Light at Westminster. If, after
all the light that is shed upon us by these
Journalistic luminaries, the people should
remain in darkness, how great will be that
darkness.
