Pilgrim Baptist Church.

Every face wole pleased expression
and voices were all atune to welcome
our pastor home. How much we love
that word, home. 1t stands for the one
place, in this world where hearts are
sure Of each other, it is the place of con-
fdence, it is the place where we tear off
the mask ofguarded and suspicious cold
ness which the world forces us to wear
in self defense, it is where We pour out
the unreserved communications of full
and confident hearts, it is to all this that
Pilgrims congregation welcome their
pastor. The choir did it's best, which
was in the highest sense good credit
to Mr.. c. Martin, Miss L. Griswold, and
each member of the choir. If you did
not hear Mrs B. H. Wilson render

fully up. The two trustees were duly
elected. they were Messrs. II. Howard
aud F. Combs Jr. Let us hope that they
may be as energetic as those added to
the board last year. Pray for the Of
ticers of the church.
Vacation is over, what nex,? We will

An OvERwORKED nMPEROR.

With that confidence which springs from
youth and comparative inexperience. and
with the restless energy which is so charac-
teristic Of the man, the Emperor of Germany
is undertaking 10 perform an amount of Off
cial work which be has neither the physical
nor the intellectual strength TO carry ON
with impunity. lie is not content 10 rely
upon the distinguished heads Of the different
bureaus Of the government service, but is
seeking to exercise a minute and constant
supervision over the various departments re-
quiring the most intimate knowledge Of de-
tails 10 ensure their judicious management.
The danger is not so much that the Emperor
will break down his health, more or less
precarious already. but that he will weaken
the efficiency of the ministers 10 whom
should be left the responsibility Of perform
ing the duties connected with the offices
which they hold.
This desire TO direct the whole machinery
of the State arises i'm a measure. no doubt.
from the comparative newness Of his tenure
Of the throne, but it is principally due
to the morbidly active spirit Of the young
monarch, which finds repose distastcful and
odious, and which rushes into combina-
ton Of tasks TO escape from itself. I'm itself
this spirit, if only properly moderated, is
worthy of respect and honor. Ii is better for
the Emperor TO make his position one Of
strenuous labor, however far il may be car
ried, than TO convert il into mere coigne
of advantage for the indulgence of frivolous
tastes, or the qualification Of unruy appo-
titles. No one can charge him with being
either an idler or a frbble, and if lac crrs ON
the side Of unnecessary assumption of work
that should be imposed exclusively ON
others, it is more creditable TO fall into this
mistake, however iuiudicious or short-sight-
ed, than TO be a royal drone or debauchee.
There is a strong probability that as soon
as the novelty Of managing the domestic
affairs of lis empire has worn of, the En-
peror's unsatisfed and eager spirit will
long for the overwhelming excitements Of
the battlefield and the glittering prizes Of
success in war The routine Of the internal
government of his domini0ns is not likely 10
afford him absolute contentment fort any very
great length Of time, and, when this routine
has lost its interest, the first reason that
will present itself TO him for disrupiing the
existing peace will be utilized, and Ger
many will once more enter upon a period OF
blood and iron. But will new Bismarcks
and Moltkes arise 10 meet the emergencies of
the new situation?

The final determination Of the Republican
members Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee to allow hides TO remain on the free list,
is from the point Of expediency as well as
Of common sense, the wlsest step which
they could have taken. The imposition Of
duty on this article, as we stated at the
time. was far more likely to damage the
Republican party than benefit it, inasmuch
as those who would oppose such n duty
were much more influential and powerful
than those who would have derived an adj
vantage from 1t.
II is true that Massachusetts, the STATE
most closely interested in the proposed
change. has long been looked upon as a.
Republican stronghold that would remain
true to Republican principles under all cir
cumstances, but there have been many evil
dences recently. independently Of all hostil-
iiy 10 certain clauses of the Mckinley bill,
which would seem 10 80 TO show that the
sentiment of Massachusetts was not thor
oughly favorable to the Republican party.
SO far a. the duty which il was proposed to
place on hides was concerned, the tone Of
the State Republican press was sayagely
aggressive, and there were very free express
sions OF opinion that if this duty was inn
posed, il would be impossible to retain sew
eral Of the New England States, which had
always been found on the Republican side,
in the ranks OF that party.
In vain n number of leading Republican
politicians mildly suggested that Massa-
chusetts should sacrifice herself in this in-
stance for the good Of the party in the West,
which would have been benefited by the
duty on account OF the vast extent Of it,
cattle interests. Massachusetts manufac-
turers, however, did not see the matter in
this light. They only felt that such a duty
would innict on them serious damage, and
with characteristic selishness, they insisted
that Western cattle raisers should be SUI
bordinated 10 themselves.
The trainers Of the Mckinley 5ill have
been forced to yield to the pressure which
has been brought TO bear upon them TO in
fluence them in this respect. Massachu-
sets is once more u complacent supporter
of a tariff system which she only opposes
when her own interests are TO be mulc.ed,
aud not the interests Of the other States.
When she finds that her neighbors are Try
ing 10 thrust their hands into her pockets in
imitation Of her action in thrusting hers
into theirs. she assumes an air OF outraged
virtue, and does not rest until her neighbors
are stopped, and she allowed 10 20 on IN her
old way.

into a war with any one Of the powers Of
the FIRST class. II Is true that grounds Tor
difference may from time 20 time arise, as
in the instance Of the Samoa AFFAIR Dut 80
conciliatory and so little aggressive Is the
tone Of American public opinion. even UNI
der such circumstances az these, that aroi- |
tration has been quietly turned 10 ana
utilized as the proper means Of reaching
the true equity Of the case. And il may oe
confidently predicted that the same wise
and sclf-possesscd spirit will continue TO be
displayed by the American people for
practically indefinite time. so far as foreign
nations may encroach on our interests.
After all, there are, and II is fortunate
fac:. few points that are likely TO bring our
national government in conflict with other
governments. The American people, hav-
ing still an enormous domain within the
boundaries OF the lrepublic 20 develop and
populate, have no aspirations TO extend
their possessions either by colonization or
by encroachments upon the territories Of
other powers. The latter has always been
the principal source Of the antagonlsms be-
tween nations that have eliminated IN war,
and il is n reason for cOngratulation that
there is no such inclination on the part Of
the popular sentiment Of this country.
without the most substantial grounds, and
not until all other means Of settlement Of
difficulties had been rcsOrted 10 and failed.
is il probable that any foreign nation Of the
first rank will fly to arms to settle differ
ences with The United States. II is true
that her sea coast is exposed TO attack, but
upon her soil million Of men, fully
equipped and moved by the strongest inn
pulses Of patriotism, would assemble in
few weeks 10 obstruct the march Of an
enemy into the interior.
so far as sea-coast defenses are concerned,
steps should be taken Systematically and
methodically, for a number Of years, 10
gradually place our seaboard cities in a po-
sition in which they would be comparatively
protected from general assault. There should
be large annual appropriations for this pur-
pose, which should be devoted, under the
most careful supervision. 10 coast fortifca-
tions. erected in accordance with the most

Mr.. Chandler, your attention Is called 10
some simmering Southern outrages upon
the Republican party. Indications exist IN
MARYLAND and North Carolina. that strong
efforts will be made shortly 10 reduce the
Republican vote. Now is your time TO call
% high heaven 20 witness the grieSous
wrong upon the pure, the immaculate, the
unseldsh, philanthropic party Of which you
are such an able exponent. But
IL is 10 be feared that when you
have investigated the facts, if ever you are
guilty Of such a deed, your tongue viii be
silent, and no protest will be made by you.
A. is apparent that in many sections Of tho
South the individuals who constitute the
bone and sinow Of your party. are becoming
FESTIVE under your continued disregard a
their fidelity 10 your interests. They are
not only becoming FESTIVE. but are planning
10 revenge themselves upon the party.
This is outrageous. Here are a
couple Of indications which may
be only surface indications TO be seen, but
which are significant and worthy Of your
closest study. At recent meeting held in
Baltimore by the colorod Republicans 10
compel an answer 10 the question, why had
the race been disregarded by the party. it
was resolved 10 call a conference Of the
race 20 discuss the situation. In North
Carolina. which has by no means been
stripped Of the race by the exodus, the ne
groes Of the Fifth Congressional district
wish 10 know why Representative
Brewer has disregarded their claims
upon him. and many Of his most faithful
adherents are beginning to wayer and to
talk seriously Of nominating negro TO con-
test the next election. Even here in Wiz
cinia, so near the National Capital, similar
evidences exist, and although the Colored
Conference pledged itselfio the Republican
party, il will not be forgotten that a rcsOlu-
tion was considered, calling for the nomina-
ton Of negroes in the Second and Fourth
districts. These may appear little things
to you, Mr.. Chandler. but remember that
minute straws may serve as weather yancs.
At any rate YOU certainly ought 20 do some
thing abost those onfrages

At complimentary dinner given TO Ma
jor General schofeld, in Washington, on
Tuesday night, that distinguished soldier
took advantage of the occasion TO briefly re-
iieraic his conviction that the government
ought 10 adopt the most active measures, 90
place in state Of defense all the leading
cities on the whole coast line OF the United
States which are open 20 naval attack.
General Schodeld has repeatedly called at
tention 10 the absolute necessity OF this, and
his position which cannot be seriously ques-
toned. II is matter of surprise that no
steps have been taken on great scale to
erect such Qualifications on our coast line, as
would insure the complete protection Of our
principal cities Of the seaboard. As il il,
they are exposed 10 partial or entire de-
struction In case OF war, which would in
volye the loss Of millions of dollars ard
thousands Of valuable and innocent lives.
The apathy prevailing ia connection with
this subject does not arise from any objec-
ton on the part Of the Republicans at least,
70 make the necessary appropriations, nor
would the Democrats oppose these appro-
priations II the popular sentiment Of the
country demanded them, but popular senti-
ment, It would seem, does not do so. And

In the Washington special 10 the New

to Treasurer Illusions anxiety about the
security of the vaults at Washington, where
the surplus is stored. After some thought
MIR. Huston hit upon the original idea that
these repositories Of gold and silver could
be easily made accessible by means of a
hammer, cold chisel and fifteen min
utes. by an expert summoned from
New York he proved that his idea
was correct But Of what use were his
anxiety and the test by an expert? lie
needn't be at all worried about the treasure
locked up there. From the way things are
going on at the capitol there will be no
need of vaults in a few months, and no ill.,
ducements will exist for any man to spend

will be gone and the surplus VIII be minus,
