PUBLIC SENTIMENT SHOULD SUs-
TAIN THE PRESIDENT

Every citizen who upholds law,
and Is opposed to Iawlessness
usurping the mastery over civil
authority, should not hesitate in sus-
tanning President Cleveland in the
alteration which the mischievous
Altgeld, OF Illinois. has precipitated
with him over the exercise of the
Federal authority in that State, and
in which Waite, of Colorado, and
Stone, OF Missouri, have also taken a
hand.
These three Governors have prac-
tically taken rebellion under their
protection, and are now countenan-
eng resistance to the laws of the
United States under the miserable
sophistry OF States rights. They
are doing precisely the same as
Democratic Governors did in 1861
when they endeavored TO prevent
President Lincoln from sending Fed
eral troops to the Sacred soip' of
the South.
President Cleveland is right in
ordering Federal troops into Illinois

acts ot the maddrned industrial army
that the preat labor Organizations
would have it in Tor him, while he Is
aware ii he should express sympathy
for the cause that the influential class
not in sympathy with the strike
would not forget him.
The great strike has forced upon
his mind that the time has now ar
rived when some remedial legislation
must be devised and it is no secret
that some Of the brillian. and thought,
full men OF Congress are thinking
deeply and continuously now over
the problem of how to meet his
growing discomfort of the industrial
masses. Congress cannot adjourn
| without formulating something that
will put stop TO these periodical
outbreaks which are increasing IN
numbers and magnityirg IN extent
and in effect. if the question Is
| ignored, it is conceded that trouble,

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0R CON-

VENTI0N.
In marked contrast to the destruc'
tive forces that have menaced
Chicago tor the past week, was the
meeting OF the constructive and Gle
waiting army of Christian workers
which assembled at Cleveland, Ohio.
The spirit that animates that youth
full assemblage Of working Christians
is the same spirit that should inspire
everywhere the civilization OF the
dawning twentieth century.
1t is the spirit that proclaims not
oppression and injustice, not lawless
ness and disorder, not riot and blood
shed, but the Christ-like benediction
Of peace and good will among men.
Ii represents the conservative and
constructive forces that underlie
society, not the ruthless and deStruc-
tive passions that mislead men.
The very composition OF the con-
vention, made up OF ten thousand
accredited delegates, chosen from all
crseds and denominations OF profess.
ing Christians, and representing an
enrolled membership OF two millions
of professors OF Christ's faith, must
outside OF the spirit that animates
such an assemblage, excite the
respect and admiration of every
reflective person.
As restraint upon the criminal
and vicious classes, we regard the
organized Christian church as more
potential than organized civil gov
eminent.
We could with less disturbance to
the fabric Of society everywhere,
abolish court houses and prisons,
than tear down our Christian
churches and their accompanying
benevolences.
Holding this view Of the potency
of the Christian Church, who can
adequately measure, or justly esti-
mate the potent and tar reaching
influence Of this immense army of
young Christians, animated by a
spirit as courageous and enthusiastic
as that of the crusaders OF old, upon
the social, political and industrial
conditions existing in this country?
From the ranks OF these Young
persons are to be recruited the
leaders OF public sentiment, the
moulders OF public opinion in their
respective communities and circles all
over the broad extent OF this land.
Every man and woman who
values the free institutions under
which we live, aud who looks to their
perpetuation as the promise of a
better day and brighter light yet to
dawn upon other nations OF the
earth. must in their innermost hearts
bid-God speed the work of Amer
ica's army OF Christian Eudeavorers

THE AVERAGE CONGRESSMAN A
COWARD.

The career Of the Tariff bill in
both Houses of Congress demon
strates the fact that the average Con-
gresham is moral coward, who
when brought face to face with
public difficulty, will in nine cases
out of ten show the white feather
and dodge the issue. Had Senators
Smith, Mcpherson and Murphy the
courage to have stood by their guns
the income tax would at this hour
been as dead as Marc Anthony; but
they chose TO enact the role of the
Northern doughface for fear they
would get outside the party breast
works. So it is with this. reign of
terror inaugurated by the IndustriaIs
and the railroaders of the West-the
Debs rebellion. The average member
OF Congress is absolutely afraid to
open his mouth to give an opinion
upon the causes or the effect of this
wage-earners' disturbance-this civil
war-or to even suggest a remedy.
Not even among the more notorious
of the Southern fire eaters can the
expression be secured as to action
of President Cleveland subjugating
States rights and employing the
regular army to do police service for
the corporations without there hay
ing first come a request from the
Governor of the State involved in
the disorders, he having exhausted
the police and militia power of the
State. The truth of the matter is
that the average Democratic Con.
greeman, at least, is the most cowed
and thoroughly whipped individual
to be found between the two oceans.
The silver business and the tariff
were burdens enough for him to bear
without this vast strike coming along
to make his path still more thorny.
The average Congressman, like the
cottontail, prefers TO lay low in this
crisis, and to keep still tongue in
his head. He knows perfectly well
that if he should condemn the lawless

ELKTON. JULY II, 1894
RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION,

While intelligent sentiment in this
country has been and is now demand
ing Congressional action looking to
the needed restriction of immigration
to this country, the fact is not to be
overlooked, that the same question is
commanding serious public attention
IN England.
Lord Salisbury in a speech last week
IN the House of Lords, dwell with
much force upon the immediate need
tor more stringent regulations on the
part of Great Britain in regard TO
immigrants. His speech was received
with apparent approval, and while,
undoubtedly, the attention OF his fellow
members was attracted especially TO
his remarks by the recent Anarchist
outrages on the European continent, it
was also clear that the disposition of
the British Government to provide
against undesirable additions to the
country's population is growing.
England" Lord Salisbury declared, SIS becom
ing the headquarters OF anarchism to an alarm
ing extent. The refusal OF the United States TO
receive destitute foreigners makes the pressure
upon British shores all the heavier. If it once be
known that Great Britain has the same powers
as the United States in this matter the stream
be used but the question raised by the arrival of
destitute immigrants is becoming urgent"
In so far as the speaker dealt with
the subject of immigration as one
requiring attention in a general way,
he, undoubtedly, was in touch with
the bulk OF public opinion; but his
assertion that Great Baitian is likely
to suffer itself from anarchist outbreaks
and that it is the headquarters of anar-
chism seems an exaggerated view OF
the case. Many Anarchist have been
driven to, or voluntarily have sought,
England as place of refuge, as a
result of the vigorous repressive meas
ures of the French and Italian police.
Anarchist plots have also been Matched
there, in part or in whole, because OF
the comparative immunity enjoyed by
the Anarchists in that country. That
these anarchists should resort to violent
outbreaks against the British Govern
ment or its individual heads is extreme
ly unlikely, however, since the followers
of the red flag know we'll that their one
hope of safety in Great Britain depends
upon their keeping quiet. The United
States would seem to be in condition
of more peril than is Great Britain in
this respect, since immigration is
encouraged here by natural conditions.
II the Anarchists are 10 be driven out
of England by such legislation as Lord
Salisbury favors, we would be Ger
tainly visited by far greater numbers
of these undesirable immigrants than is
the case at present. In such an event
the feeling here that more disctimna-
tive immigration laws should be passed
by the United States would be shared
in heartily by almost every American
citizen, and an active movement on
Great Britian's part to limit closely
immigration to its shores, would be apt
to bring about the passage of a still
more exclusive legislation on the same
subject by this country.

II is refreshing thing to see one
Democratic Governor who does not
play the part of a triher or a dema-
gogue. This exception is Governor
Matthews, OF Indiana, who is behav
ing with a show of vigor and
common sense quite in contrast with
the conduct OF his neighhor, Altgeld.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS ANNUAL
MEETING

The annual meeting of the State
Teachers Association took place
this week az Annapolis, Cecil county
being represented by number iden
tilted with local educational matters.
Considering the advantages and
importance OF these annual meetings
every friend OF education in the
county could have reasonably wished
that the attendance of teachers had
been larger. Inspiration for higher
and better work can be gained at
these conferences, and since no
avocation that we know of needs
more than that of a teacher, the
regret is that larger number Of
teachers do no avail themselves OF
the opportunities offered by them.
The realizationS Of a teacher in
the visible fruits of his work are at
best slow and tedious, and he neces
sarlly needs all the enthusiasm that a
taste for, or love of, his work
begets. 1t is the universal expert
ence OF all protessio lal workers that
the stated reunions of their guilds
or unions are pro ductive of the best
results. From comparison OF indi,
vidual experiences, from discussion
OF new and approved methods OF
instruction, from personal contact
with the students of the philosophy
and science underlying the personal
transmission of knowledge, valuable
results are attainable. They are
welcome breaks in the mere drudg-
cry of professional work, and many
an overworked and spiritless teacher
has been UNNECESSARILY benefited by
such meetings.
