AT TRINITY NJ. E. CHURCH.

Missionary Work." by Mr.. ]. S.
O'Roark, which was well rendered
and attcntively received; a dialogue
by Masters Charley Houston and
Herbert Chambers; singing, by
Misses Hughes, Houston and Nease,
the audience being highly pleased at
every effort of the little ones. The
music by the choir was we'll chosen
for the occasion, and the singing, as
usual, beautiful and impressive.

ing ladies and gentlemen: Miss Yena
LYDIA, organist, Mrs. J. S. O'Roark,

"a clip die folIoxiing from the


We clip the following from the
Coal Valley correspondence of the
Charleston Nonpareii:
.t0n last Thursday morning, the
news spread rapidly through our
little hamlet, that Ludolf Roths-
child had breathed his last at his
room in Coal Valley, and all
seemed to feel that an intelligent
and honorable gentleman had
passed from among Us. He was
born and raised at Cologne, on the
river Rhine, Germany, where he
has influential parents and other
relatives still living. AT the break
ing out of the French Prussian
war he entered the army and
served his country faithfully and
was crippled during the bloody
struggle, and then emigrated to
this country in 1870 and took up
his>residence among us whore he
engaged for many years with A.
Middleburg in merchandising. His
funeral was conducted by the In
dependent Order of the /. o. o. F.,
and the Knights Pythias, both OF
which orders he had been a faith
full member. A large concourse
followed the remains to the grave.
The deceased was well known
to our people, being here in the
employ of Hess & Co., and later
engaged in business for himself

The old Folks Concerts, which

The Old Folks Concerts, which
comes off on Thursday and Friday
evenings of this week, is getting
bigger and bigger all the time. In
addition to the attractions hereto
fore mentioned Meal and Jones, The
knights, &C., the first EVENING" the
management have now decided to
equip the male singers with full
Continental Costumes, from Cincin-
natl: wigs, knee pants, lace friiIs,
shoe buckles, &C., all in great style.
This will complete the thing as far
as dress is concerned, for the ladies
will, of course, be gorgeous in their
silks and satins. which have been
handed down from generation to
generation. The two first choruses,
"Song of the Old Folks" (AuId
Lang Syne,) and "Sherburne," one
of those old figures SO popular in the
old days, will be sung without ac-
compartment, the pitch being given
by the leader from tuning fork, we
don't know how old, but used by
one who taught vocal music over 80
years ago. Mrs. Moncure, wife OF
the Episcopal minister at Gallipolis,
well-known musician, has very
kindly agreed to come and assist
with the accompaniments. Prof
Koethe, of Albert KreIl & Co., Gin
cinnati, has promised to play few
pieces on his famous violin, said to
be genuine Stradiuarius, and GER
tainly a magnificent toned instru-
ment. Mrs. G. W. NJ. Hooff, with
her accustomed generosity, has Of
fered her beautiful piano for use in
the concerts, which is highly appre-
ciated by the benefciaries, and will
add greatly to the enjoyment of the
audience. We could go on and fill
a column, but what's tho use2 We
have already enumerated attractions
enough, in this and former issues,
for half a dozen concerts, and we
won't say a word more, only this:
go and see the rich dressing and
hear the beautiful music.

EASTER sUNDAY-THE cnuncnEs


3 EASTER SUNDAY-THE CHURCHES.
1.-THE season of sorrow, and fast
ing and meditation is over.
aFrom the star-circled dome Of heaven their
worldward, a host of nngeis speed. Their
wings
Shed gold-ffghts Of the throne, which
radiance filings
Throughout the sunrise. And that noun
tain's height,
Which siradOwed, irrdeep hush. the christ's
death night
is lit with glory; while a seraph sings
The Song or silence to the King OF Kings
Whose deathless death is triumph OF Loves
might.
Each love within us IS a Christ newborn;
And each, In time, our brothers cruelty
With heavy crosses-wcary crowns OF thorn
With stripes and wounds-untilt they purify
The mighty Lord within; and Justify
The glorious radiance of our resurrection
norm
Christ Church presented beau
tiful appearance Easter morning,
as one entered the builing. Flow
ers were strewn everywhere in
profusion; the Chancel decoration be-
ing simply superb.
1t was fitting celebration of the
resurrection of Christ. The church
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
The services were beautiful and the
music rendered by the choir, COM
posed of Mrs. Ed. Sehon, Mrs. d.
W. PoIsley, Miss Ella Gibbons and
Mr.. A. g. Van Glider, was grand,
Miss Ella Gibbons presided at the
organ. The sermon by the Rector,
was from the text aIf a man die
shall he live AGAIN. and was deliv-
cred in an ableand impressive man
ner. at the conclusion of the SER
mon, collection of the Easter offer
ings was taken up. This collection
was for Parish revenue, and
amounted to very large sum, after
which the Lords supper was cele-
brated.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Il The "Church
Missionary Society" of the P. E.
Church was established in this
country the same year Washington
was first inaugurated President, SO
the two centennials come together,
and Easter day the Sunday School
of Christ Church celebrated the
event with appropriate services and
offerings, which had been made by
the children during the season of
Lent. Mrs. Polsley presided over
the organ, and the choir was COM
posed of Misses Lena yollert, Bessie
Cable, and Messrs. A. c. Van Gill
der and Lew Pomeroy. The chill
dren formed procession in the
yard, and entered the church sing
ing, "Onward Christian Soldiers,
led by two boys bearing a banner,
having on one side, cross and 81
H. S. and on the other "Christ is
Risen" After placing their baskets
of flowers which they carried, at
the foot of the Easter Gross in the
Chancel, they seated themselves, and
sang appropriate hymns. The Rec
tor told the children an impre ssive-
story, and then delivered to the
scholars, certificates of contribution
to the Missionary Society. Miss
Rebecca Barbee read an original
essay on sincerity" and Miss Helen
Polsley read a poem suitable for the
day. at the close of the exercises
the children marched out of the
church singing a occasional hymn.
There was large congregation

THE time has now passed when the
United States can be a home for all
classes of immigrants and an asylum for
the exiles of every nation. The great
principle of home protection must be ex-
tended unless we desire the lmmutable
law of supply and demand to reduce the
wages and the lot of the American wage
Garner to a level Of that OF European
countries. That such is not the desire
of majority of the people is evident
The present principle of protection lndl-
rectly protects the labor of the United
States-it protects it from the runous
competition of European labor performed
in European countries, but does not pro-
tect it from the same labor performed IN
the United States. It is true that an
attempt has been made to prevent the
importation Of foreign labor to take the
place of American by the law prohibit
ing the landing Of immi8ral t. I'M
der contract to perform services IN the
United States, but it is also true that
This law is avoided so much that 1t IS al
most a dead letter. Nor can its evasion
be prevented. The supply OF labor is
greater than the demand, and under our
present immigration laws this state OF
affairs must continue, if not increase.
To prevent its increase and to bring Ia
Dor to par should be the aim OF our
statesmen. The social question IS fore
ing itself forward for consideration and
some party must take it up and make 1t
a party principle, not by mere words but
by action. We believe that the time has
come when other classes beside the Chi
nese must be excluded from our shores,
and that the principles advocated by the
republican party must be extended and
duty placed on those who may De
classed as desirable immigrants. When
n man leaves his native land to come to
America he does so because he will be
benefited by the change, but while he
will gain benefit the labor with which
he completes incurrs an injury without
any corresponding benefit. Why, then,
should not tho immigrant pay for the
benefits which he will reap and Ameri-
can labor be protected against the whole
sale importation Of labor by corporations
and capitalists to take the place OF men
who dare to ask that they receive the
wages due an American citizen?

The constitution requires the leglsla-
ture to pass a registration law but gives
them discretionary power of ezempting
towns Of less than five hundred popula-
ton. The object of requiring voters to
register is to prevent fraud, and we can
see no reason why fraud should not be
prevented in rural districts as well as in
cities. 1t is true that the opportunities
for election frauds are not as great in
sparsely settled districts as in cities, but
that fraud can be practiced in elections
in country places is also true. The pu-
ritv of the ballot box is the safeguard OF
our American institutions and too great
care cannot be exercised in not only pre-
venting fraud, but in reducing the OPP
portunities therefor to the minimum. A
general registration, with no exemp-
tions, will have tendency to this end.

A New Style Of Cars.

The Northern Pacific has just received
twenty new colonist sleepers from Bar
ney, Smith & Co. that are models Of
beauty, convenience and comfort, and
contain many improvements over the
ordinary colonist sleeper, or SO called
tourist-car, generally in use. Each car
has fourteen sections, with gentlemen's
toilet room in one end, and the ladies'
room, supplied with marble topped wash
stand and force pump, in the other. In
one end of the car is a Baker fire-pro0f
heater, which heats the car by means OF
hot water conducted through pipes. In
the opposite end Of the car is a cooking
range surrounded by good kitchen facil-
tiles. Opposite this range is twenty
gallon cooler for drinking water; also a
large tank, holding seventy gallons Of
water for general use.
These cars are finished in natural
woods,-ash, maple and butternut,-
beautifully polished, and at night are
lighted up with eight Acme lamps exact
ly similar to those in use in Pullman
sleepers. The sections are divided by
sliding head-boards, effecting privacy
not possible in the present style of cars
where the sections are divided by wire
netting. An ingenious arrangement of
the seats enables them to be extended
fiat or with head rests when prepared for
bedding, and under each seat is a box
in which can be stored bedding or small
baggage. In each section there is also
provided a movable table similar to those
in use in Pullman cars, which is extreme
ly convenient for many purposes. All
cars are provided with curtain rods.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employs a porter to
look after these sleepers, all holders of
second class Montana and Pacific Coast
tickets are allowed to use them free of
charge. The Northern Pacific has
greater number Of these sleepers in serv-
ice than any other transcontinental line,
their total equipment now amounting to
SO cars. 1t is clear that in providing
for the comfort of the travelling public
the Northern Pacific, with its new vesti-
buled dining and sleeping cars and
superior accommodations for second
class passengers, leads all competitors.

WHENEVER few hundred workmen in
the United States strike, the free-trade
papers at once declare that our tariff is
the source of our labor troubles, yet
strangely enough they are very mute as
to the canso of the great London strike
in the land of free trade. 1t would be
Just as logical to assert that the London
strike is caused by free trade as to as
sert that a strike in the United States is
caused by our tariff.

From Washington.

Our Washington correspondent writes
the following under date of Sept. 81:
President Harrison has returned to the
city, Vice President Morton is here, SEN
ators and members generally are begin
ming to settle down upon US to fix them
selves for the winter, and next week will
be practically the opening of the "politi-
cal season"-the period of preparation
for the winters work. There are, OF
course, number of minor matters, such
as the commissionership of pensions and
other appointments to be settled yet,
but attention will now be given to the
consideration of serious national ques-
tions. The president will have great
deal to occupy him in the preparation OF
his message to Congress, and while he
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1889-10-05

has probably not been able to do as much
work in this direction as he hoped to, IL
is understood that he has its general
plan pretty well outlined in his mind
and to some extent roughly down on pa
per. But the time between now and the
first Monday in December is not long
for the work he has yet before him.
There are several important matters
relating to financial affairs that are I'M
der discussion by the cabinet but have
not vet been decided. Two or three
recommendation concerning the national
currency are proposed, which cannot be
decided upon without considerable dis
cussion. The silver men are anxious Tor
a more favorable policy toward them
than that of the last administration.
Moreover, the recommendations concern
ing the revenue legislation must be sug-
rested and sustained by the showing OF
the national finances. The president has
considerable work, with the aid OF Sec
rotary Window, to complete compre-
hensive view Of this question. The
friends Of the water ways improvements,
the friends of the Blair bill and the old
soldiers are all asking for hearing IN
the message.
The appointment of supreme justice
is not occupying any especial attention
at this moment since the appointment is
not expected before the neeting of Con-
gress. but an early decision upon the
question of a successor to Mr.. Tanner is
necessary in order to have the report of
the pension commissioner ready for Con-
gress. Mr.. Tanner wrote report but 1t
is understood that it was SO much at va
rance with the views of the secretary OF
the interior that it will have to be prac-
tically reconstructed.
The All-America's congress which
meets in Washington on the End of Dc
tober will be one Of the most interesting
bodies, as regards membership, aims and
work, ever gathered here. 1t will be
composed of representative men, speak
ing three different languages, it is true,
but all inspired by the same idea Of de-
vising a means whereby the commercial
and social brotherhood which nature
manifestly intended to exist between the
inhabitants of the neighbor countries OF
our western hemisphere may be put up
on a substantial foundation. They will
discuss customs, regulations, system
OF extradition, common coin, the recon
citation Of now conflicting laws about
shipping, the substitution OF peaceful ar
bitration for war in the settlement of in
ternational disputes, and other import
ant topics. Our visitors will be given a
fairly comprehensive tour Of this coun-
try, not so much with view to impress
ing them with its grandeur as in hope of
assuring them, by the cordially of the
greeting they everywhere receive, that
the first republic of the world is ready to
meet them half way in an effort to estab-
fish closer relations. The discussions
are to be in secret sessions, but there will
probably be no attempt to fasten a seal
upon the tongues OF the delegates, and
what occurs Officially will be very likely
to come out unoficially through the
press. II.
