The annual meeting of the American
Board of Commissioners of Foreign Mis-
sions, now in session in Worcester, Mass,
is likely Ito be very stormy. The old
trouble over the Andover doctrines has
been smothereds at recent conventions,
only to burst out afresh with more force
than ever. The prudential committee
and executive officers of the Board are
a self perpetuating corporate association,
over which the body of Congregational
ist Christians have only moral inf1u-
ence. Several candidates for positions as
foreign missionaries, notably Mr.. Noyes,
have been rejected because their doctrinal
views seemed to the prudential commits
tee to lean towards the "Andover here
sy." Mr.. Noyes has finally been accepted;
but this has not settled the trouble.
There is large element in the churches
profoundly dissatisfied with the policy
of the Board and this element will I'M
doubtedly be heard at Worcester. More
over, this. has not been a.good financial
year, and the""magnifcent institution
finds itself $50. 900 in debt.

THE INSPIRATION OF DE LrssErs.

The career of Ferdinand De Lesseps
now closing is linked in curious way
with America, and also with the doc
trines ,of Socialism AS the successful
constructor of the Suez Canal DeLesseps
will be forever famous. How he came
to be interested in that work is roman
tic and interesting story. When Washing
ton was besieging CORVALLIS at York
town there was in the allied army an en-
thusiastic young French nobleman not
yet % years of age, named Count Henry
de Saint-Simon. The society of the Gin
cinnati honored him for his bravery at
the siege; but no honors for military ex
ploits could quite turn his mind from
the study of social and political subjects.
On his way home from America he was
captured by the British and detained
at Jamaica. Before returning to France
he visited Mexico, and there suggested
a canal to connect the gulf with the Pa
cif1c. Returning to France Saint-Simon
after a time renowned the world and
became the leader of socialistic sect
known as the Saint -Simonites. With
this sect all labor for the advancement
of humanity was sacred A description
of their tenets and of their method of
work would be of interest but this
topic has connection with the career of
DeLesseps in but one particular. Conceiv-
ing the attainment of the advantage of all
the highest aim, a band of Saint-Simon-
lite missionaries set out for Egypt to sur
vey and begin a canal across the isthmus
of SueZ. This seems strange under
taking for missionary venture; but it
was in accordance withsthe Saint-Simon-
lite doctrine. In that party of missiona-
ries was young engineer named Ferdin-
and de Lesseps. A disagreement as to
engineering plans led De Lesseps to sepa-
rate himself from the missionaries; but
they never ceased to encourage him, and
it was largely through their influence
that De Lesseps finally succeeded. Still
later in life the great canal maker re-
verified to the plan conceived by Saint
Simon in Mexico; and the Panama affair
resulted. 1t is worth remem bering at
this time that the two greatest canal en-
terprises of the age derived their origin
and much.of their encouragement from
the socialistie dreams of a young French
officer sleeping in the trenches of York
town.
De Lesseps, the great statesman of COM
merce, like his great contemporary, the
statesman of wars and Empires, Bis
marck, has come to his latter days in
disappointment and ehagrin-the very
common ending of high human ambition.

1t is rather difficult to understand why
men professedly independent like DR.. Will
liam Everett, of Massachusetts,, should
favor the repeal of the federal election
laws. The good that those laws have
done is indubitable and unchallenged;
and SO far there has appeared no instance
where they have worked mischievously.
They are at present the only bulwark
whatever to prevent the most disreputa-
bic elements of New York politics from
managing elections according to their
own sweet will. Such condition as that
is not desirable for decent Democrats
any more than for Republicans. So
good Democrat as SIS. Cox testified
In strong terms to the efficacy and excel
lence of the federal election laws. Moth
ing could be more undisputed than the
constitutionality of those laws. The
supreme court ithout dissent has put
this question beyond bubble. Yet the
whole band of Mugwumps, newspapers
and all, are actively urging or passively
acquiescing, in the repeal Of these salu-
tary laws. There is one explanation of
this apparent mystery. The conflict
over the tariff is far above all others in
Importance and interest. Silver, foreign
complications, bankruptcy laws, cleo
tion laws, all else, yield place to the
great conflict of interests and ideas called
the tariff issue. Whatever tends to help
the Republicans tends to intrench pro-
lection; whatever tends to weaken the
Republicans tends to hasten the day
when we may buy our manufactured
goods of England and allow our artisans
to work at English wages or betake
thenselves..to the healthful life of the
farmer We believe it to be unjust to
accuse DR.. Everett, or even some of the
Mugwump journals, with deliberate and
cold blooded connivapce in a scheme to
advance free trade by corrupting our
elections. Their position amounts to
this: althoughsthey probably do not real
ize it, They are carried away.in party
spirit; swept along by the dictates of
party caucuses sand conventions. And
their desire for the overthrow of protec-
ton blinds their eyes to the way and.. the
means. The doctrine that the end justi-
fies the means, while condemned by
reason, always has and still will for
many years, exercise an imperceptible
but strong influence over the minds of
many men.with purposes in views

Colonel Rogers military experience began
with his membership Of the city troop, the
famous old cavalry company Of Philadelphia,
where his ine literary qualifications led to his
selection as tho poet of the corps. and his
delivery OF the original ode in honor Of its
centennial celebration on November H. 1874.
Upon the first election Of Gov. Pattison, in
1882, be was rendered his present Office Of
Judge advocate general of the National Guard
OF pennsylvania, ranking on the governors
staff as colonel
He at once proceeded to organize the bureau
OF military justice for the first time since its
creation, and to make . complete study Of
American and European military law. HAM
pered by military state code consisting of
twenty different and conflicting and loosely con-
stfucted acts OF assembly, he succeeded in hav-
ing convened q military board OF which he was
. member. for the recodifcation Of those acts.
This resulted in the new military code known
- the act Of April Is. 1887. one of the clearest
and best constructed pieces Of legislative com
position that adorn our statute books. Col
Rogers at once prepared complete set OF
Forms Of Procedure" under the new act,
which are unique and original and do not fol-
low in any particular the forms in use in the
United States military tribunals, the latter
not being applicable to the peace establish
ment OF the state guard Of Pennsylvania. He
is now considered the best authority on mill
tary law in Pennsylvania, bis opinions and
writings thereon being received with favor and
commentator in all military circles. It 10 not
to be wondered at, therefore, that Gov. Beaver,
upon his accession to the commandership-in-
chief Of tine guard in January, 1887. reap
pointed Col. Rogers to the Office he had prac-
tically created and developed into its present
high status. But as Col. Rogers political
views were directly opposed to those Of the
governor and the usual partisan pressure was
directly in favor Of a new incumbent the COM
pliment was not only unusual and exceptional,
but it reflected credit on the recipient as we'll
as on the donor.
1t lie needless to say that as soon as his per-
sonal friend. Gov. Pattison. was inaugurated
in January, 1891. for his second term Col
Rogers commission for his third term as Judge
advocate general Immediately followed, which
term if completed will make twelve years of
continuous service in his high Office.

One hundred young men. principally sons of
prominent merchants Of the city, on that date
signed their names on the muster roll of
the battery. After its organization the battery
drilled dismounted during the year in WASH
ington Square, taking up all the time the men
could spare from their various occupations.
The command soon became attached to the
Philadelphia Home Guard brigade, which
was organized under the command Of Gen. A.
J. Pleasanton Of "blue glass" fame. During
the year 1861 and spring of 1862 many Of the
members Of the command enlisted or received
commissions in other organizations which were
being hurried to the front for active service. In
July, 1862, it was suggested that Eight bat
terry" be organized for active service. Imme-
diatelv enli.tments began. On the 4th of Au-
gust the rolls were opened, and three days after
the opening Of the enlistment roll this fine
body of men was mustered into the service of
the United States for one year. 1t was given
the title of the old organization, keystone
