the blessedness of capital, the grandeur
and strength Of the nation are linked
with labor, and rise and fall with social
conditions. Intelligence. bodily ylgor,

1t has been my pride as an American
citizen that In no other country is the
wOrkingman so we'll situated Ill the en-

of the masses do perceive more than
i'll aught else, the true grandeur and
the true strength Of the republic of

Let me now enter my brief plea for
capital. AT once you will unite with
me in extending over it the shield
which covers property, whether this the
extensive investment OF the rich or the
circumscribed possessions of the poor.
Property is the very foundation stone of
the social fabric; it is the incentive and
reward of industry and energy. The
Indian tribes have slight regard for
property; what is owned by one may be
used and controlled by all; the Indian
tribes remain bands of savage ldlers.
He who menaces property is an anar-
chist, and the anarchist is the deadly
foe of order, of right, Of society. He
is the wild beast, solely bent Oh destruc-
tion, from which security and civiiiza-
tion never can drift.

At this point. when it was expected
that Archbishop Ireland. who was next
scheduled 10 speak, would come for
ward, Conductor Farnham, of Division
40, No. III, was introduced, and made
one Of the most humorous and original
addresses of the day. He said that
he stood before I a body of men
filore grand than Hercules. not one
of whom but had repeatedly throttled
more terrible monster than he. He
had been looking into ancient history,
he SAID, and had read all about LeOni-
das, who, with his little band Of Spart-
ans had taken the pass of Thermopyla.
This was nothing, he thought, as he
had himself, as railroad conductor,
taken over 1.400 passes. He wonders
much at the similarity between women
and locomotives, and then he fired a
volley of witty puns. He paid a trib-
ute to Grand Chief Arthur aud his

one general smile of happiness and joy.
On the stage We're the distinguished
orators of the occasion. Grand Chief
Arthur was seated next Archbishop
Ireland. Then little farther on in the

touching elbows with Mayor Wright,
while to the right of the latter was At

From pit to dome every seat was oc-

Ihere was over an hour of talk in the
Senate yesterday afternoon about the real

beyond the offering of another amend

foreclosure of trust deeds and mortgages

floor of the Senate for upward of three
quarters of an hour pleading for a course
that would be easier on the grantor of

to vote on his proposition giving debtors a

AN ENGLISH OPINION.
The London '.Tfmes" on the American
Political Situation.

LONDON, March 22.-The Times today
prints a leading editorial on American poll
tics. The particular occasion for this re-
view is a dispatch from the Times cor
respondent at Philadelphia, in which the
latter says:
The wave of enthusiasm which elected
President Cleveland has ebbed so fast, ow-
ing to a universal revulsion of sentiment
against the Incompetence and mismanaSe-
ment of the democratic leaders, that were
elections to occur now the republicans
uould gain a signal victory. President
Cleveland is less blamable than the victim
of circumstances beyond his control"
During the course of the editorial referred
to the Times says:
If the Americans have reason to ap-
prehend a worse state of affairs from the
continuance of the democrats In power
than they experienced under the repuoli-
cans, the situation must be gloomy, IN
deed.
I'VE think, however, that it is rather the
and deplorable vacillation OF
the democrats in dealing with the tariff
and silver questions, than the belief that
the republicans would do better than be-
fore, that creates the situation. Americans
know how to accept dead loss, to wipe
off bad debts and to start afresh. w nat
they cannot tolerate is the prevalence or
the uncertainty, which obstructs the re-
vival of trade

Welcoming Il PnStOr.

The Western Presbyterian Church on the
evening of the Goth instant was the scene
of a large and very enthusiastic gathering
of the congregation and their friends, The
occasion being a reception rendered TO their
pastor-elect, Rev. Howard w. Ennis AMI
his wife.
The lecture room was handsomely deco
rated with flags and flowers by the Ladies
Aid Society, whose committee had also pro-
vided for a musical program. vocal and III
strumental, which was skilfully reaiered
and much appreciated by all present. An
abundance of refreshments hal been pro-
cured, which were served by the young Ia
dies of the church, who were Ont in large
numbers and whose cheerful and nappy
faces added much to the enjoym ant Of the
evening.
The committee of ladies having me mat
ter in charge included Mrs. Amos Webster
Mrs. James b. Lambie, Mrs. Aug. r. s.
Foote and Mrs. Fl. l.. Biscoe. and to that
committee much credit is due.
Those participating in the musical pro-
gram were Miss Brandenburg, Mss Cock,
Mr. Gawler. Mr.. Sutton, Miss Smith Miss
Clements, Miss Webster. Miss TUIrto1 Mr.
Morsell. Miss Hardness and Miss Alice
Kimball
Among the strangers present were the
Revs. Scott Hershey, Joel Brown and ". r.
Nerbryck, the latter accompanied ~ his
wife and Miss Easton, old frielis of Mr.
and Mrs. Ennis.
The very largely increased attendance at
the Western for the past few weeks alcUrs
well for the pastor-eect. who is already
quite popular, and whose ability as a
preacher promises soon to render the pres
ent church edifice too small.
