When We are thus permitted TO see
how recently this society sprung from

their claims subjects most of the
claimants TO the ridicule of sensible and
judicious people.
We know it is said in their defence
that ii is nothing but a mutual under
standing between certain parties that
they will associate amongst themselves,
and that all men have a right to select
their associates. Ihis- is very true. but
the purpose and intention with which an

The Richmond Star puts the following
10 The Times
Suppose that Governor OFerralrs
synpathies had been with the strikers
and Lawless had telegraphed the Cover
nor that the Southwest lmproVement
Company intended to bring on a conflict
by importing into the State miners 10
take the place of the strikers, and Gov
ernor O'Ferrall had sent troops to pre-
vent the imported men from entering the
State. would The Times say that the
Governors responsibility for the mainte-
nance OF peace gave him law for such
action? II 1t believes this. the star while
not accepting The Times as "A good Judge
OF law Is willing TO cOncede that its edi-
tor is conscientious; but we suspect that
IL Is another case as to the difference
being in whose OK is gOrcd."
When a body OF mon is on Virginia's
soil, and the Governor believes that it
is their purpose to obstruct the execution
of Nirginias laws, he has the right TO
order a sufficient body of Virginia's mil
itary TO the scene, to prevent them from
obstructing the execution Of her laws,
whether the men were brought 20 the
State by the Southwest Improvement
Company. or by any other persons or
company; and If he believed that such
a body had such a purpose, II would be
his duty TO order n sufficient body of
military to the scene to preserve order.
The party bringing the individuals 20 the
State has nothing to do with the case.
The question is, does the body Of men
contemplate making a dist rbance and
producing a breach of the peace. If 1t does
then the Governor must suppress them,
whether strikers, or other persons II tend
ing to interfere with strikers.

"FOr twenty years. said Mr.. Dixon
Professionalism in New York has been a
colossal failure. The majority OF the
churches in the city are doing nothing
but are a positive hinderance 10 the pro-
gress Of Christianity, and are repudiated
by the spirit OF Christ. They are en-
cumbrances on the face OF the earth, a
plague and hinderance TO the advance
ment of truth.
THE Baptist denomination in this city
owns 100000 worth OF property, and. al
though within the last twenty years To-
60 children have been born into that
faith. they have In that time lost 300
members. The combined wealth OF the
Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist
Churches here is sl6.00O.0OO. There are in
those churches the brainiest men OF the
age. and yet they are not holding their
own. They are a curse. because they are
only maintaining the traditions OF dead
past.

that Is what the churches OF New York
