they pay their landlords they will
starve. They need. their money for
bread, and they cannot afford to let it
20 for rent
While this is distressing state OF
affairs, it is plain that no government
eau permit any class Of its citizens to
meet and suspend the laws, simply by
passing resolutions.
This touch Of anarchy in New Eng
land, as an exchange remarks, is alarm
ing. and it is all the more serious be-
cause it will naturally encourage a
similar spirit in other sections. There
are probably 100000 people out of
work In New York and Brooklyn, U.s.
600 in Philadelphia and IT'S, 900 in Chi
cagO, and 5000, 600 in the country at
large, il Mr.. SAMUEL GoMPERs, of
the Federation Of Labor, is correct 10
MS estimate.
There will doubtless be suffering in
many localities before the winter is
over. Suffering, however, does not
Justify anarchy. The supremacy Of
the law must be maintained. II is the
only hope of the poor. as well as of the
rich. Anarchy will drive every dollar
out Of sighJ. Lawlessness is the worst
Of all evils, and it should be promptly
nipped in the bud.

self Praise.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported 6y the
testimony of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word Now, to say that
ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs are the
only genuine and reliable porous plasters
made is not self praise in the slightest
degree. They have stood the test for
over thirty years, and in proof OF their
merits it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the cures they have affected and
to the voluntary testimonials Of those
who have used them.
Beware Of limitations, and DO not De
deceived by Misrepresentation. ASK
for ALLCocK's, and let no solicitation
or explanation induce you to accept
substitute.

TIE ADJOURNMENT

It is matter for regret that the joint
committee Of Congress has decided to
adjourn tomorrow until after the holt
days. The country hoped that the
new tariff bill would be passed before
adjournment or at least be put in such
shape that the business Of the country
would know how to adjust itself to the
new schedules and be able to go ahead
with open eyes. ,.,. =. .
At present business
.-,-.,, -aGts aud manuIac-
lurers waiting to see what the changes
will be. This uncertainty ADDS to the
depression caused by the operation OF
the Sherman law.
Congress should have taken upon
itself the mission OF Santa Claus and
endeaYored to bring good cheer TO the
people and the business interests OF the
country by pushing the tariff bill
through during the holidays, to the end
that people might reap the rsIleI tha1
bill provides for. and that the business
and industrial interests might be re-
heved of the strain which uncertainty
puts upon them.
No one would begrudge Congress its
Christmas frolic, were it not at the e1-
pense OF a delay that will make that
rolic a mockery to many.

A Bill was reported yesterday for
the admission Of Oklahoma to State
hood. Oklahoma has population Of
$50. 600 and a territory Of $4,000 square
miles aud is in every way qualified for
admission into the UAiOn. A Demo
cratic Congress should not hesitate to
pass the bill The politics OF the ma
iority in Oklahoma is not known and
should not be a factor in the discussion.
Republican Congresses admitted Idaho
and Nevada, whose total population
combined is scarcely half that OF Okla
homa. The latter were admitted for
purely partisan reasons. Oklahoma
should be admitted on its merits.

RECIPIENT ANARCHY IN NEW ENG
LAND.

Some strange events have been TAX
ing place down east" OF late The
town meeting system Of government is
producing some wonderful results. IN
der this system a mass meeting runs
things instead Of q town council.
In the town Of DanburH Conn, this
system has prevailed from the first set
element Of the place. There are now
1900 inhabitants, and although the
majority own no property every voter
has the right to participate in the town
meetings and have voice in the imam
eial affairs Of the community.
Ata recent town meeting the matters
who we're on strike we're In the ma
iority, and they passed a resolution ap-
prouriatlng $4,000 from the town
treasury for their support This ex-
traordinary action is supposed TO be
legal, and there seems TO be no way
Of protecting the treasury from other
similar raids.
The hatters never would have sue
cseded in pulling $4,000 out Of the
treasury Of Danbury had it been under
the rule OF town council The idea
OF allowing mass meetings TO engage in
municipal legislation is absurd.
Another Instance Of similar sort oc-
cured in Boston the other day. At a
large and orderly mass meeting Of IN
employed WOrkingmen, resolutions
we're adopted advising all wage work
ers out Of employment to refuse to pay
rent until the present depression is
over. and an organizations Of wOrkmen
were urged 10 adopt this policy. TIE
reason given for this course is 'pat

THE APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.
ADDRESS OF THE POPE TO THE
BISHOPS IN AMERICA.
Francis, Titular Archbishop of Le-
panto, Appointed to Represent
the Vatican.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1ox.

special 10 LDe IlECORD-UN
ROME, Feb. 3.-The Holy Congrega-
ton of the Propaganda has addressed
the following declaration to the Roman
Catholic Archbishops in the United
States:
"MoSt Illust15oats and Most Reverend
Sirs The Supreme Pontiff has many
reasons of sadness on account of the dis
tresses which the impudent endeavors of
wicked men are trying to bring upon
Christianity, especially in Europe. On
the other hand, it is a great consolation
to him to see the increase of Catholicism.
with Gods aid, elsewhere in the world.
This is especially true of the great Re
public, for where scarcely q century ago
there was hardly vestige of Catholicitv.
we see now the church fiourishing in
the great number of its faithful, in its
institutions of government, its orders
and hierarchy, and its large Senate of
Bishops. Encouraged, therefore, the
Pontiff not only follows with great in
terest the things pertaining to the good
of religion in these parts, but has tried
to show plainly his great solicitude.
"When the University at Washington
opened, it pleased the Pontiff to send
prelate to congratulate the Bishops on
the event and to encourage them to still
greater works. Now, in the fourth
century after the shores of America,
separated by the ocean from the Old
World, were first discovered, and while
the memory of the auspicious event is
being celebrated in festivals, the Pontiff.
who is a great admirer of the Republic,
delegates the same prelate, a man of the
highest dignity, to testify to the Pope's
regard for this post.
"The care of the most thoughtful
Pontiff has not rested here. Since growth
had brought the church in America to
stage of maturity, in which it ought to be
favored with institutions with which the
church has flourished elsewhere. the
Pontiff does not desire there should be
any obstacle to supplying those aids of
Christianity, whereby there may be
closer union with the center, and where
by Christian unity may more greatly in
crease. His holiness, therefore orders
the holy congregation of the Propaganda
to signify to the Bishops of the United
States that ne has determined 10 appoint
the venerable Francis, titu.ar Archbishop
of Lepanto, apostolic delegate to the
United States. This, according to Gus
tom of the church, seemed appropriate to
the state of dignity which the Catholic re-
ligion has attained in America and espe-
cially on account of other peculiar cir
cumstances.
Therefore, doubtless your illustrious
prelates will receive joyfully what the
Pontiff has thought it well to do for the
honor and good of the church.
''Whiie informing you of the most wise
determination of his holiness we express
the firm hope that you will diligently
assist the distinguished man whom the
pastor OF the whole church has made a
delegate among you in everything per-
tanning to your affairs.
''Given at Rome by the Sacred Congre-
cation of the Propaganda, January 1893.
"Your Graces' obedient servant.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The Lords Assent to the Queens
speech Without Division.

The Lords Assent to the Queens
speech Without Division.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-After a discussion of
three hours the House of Lords assented
to the Queens address without division.
In the Commons, in reply to question
by William Redmond regarding the
statement that DR.. Gallagher, confined in
the Portland Prison, was made insane
through bad treatment, Home Secretary
Asquith declined to permit an inquiry.
and added that the statements were abso-
lutely without foundation.
The debate on the address proceeded
monotonously until Henry Labouchere
proposed an amendment in favor of with
drawing entirely from Uganda. He said
the sooner the occupation of Egypt
ceased the better it would be for all con-
cerned, as the Khedive and his people
were unalterably opposed to British rule.
He hoped the Government would treat
with France in a friendly spirit in uues-
tions concerning the withdrawal. Refer
ring to the understanding that Lord
Salisbury assured Italy of British support
in case of war between Italy and France.
Labouchere requested the Prime Minister
to state that his Government was in no.
wise responsible if Italy went to war
with France.
Gladstone replied that he was not aware
