Bishop Mallalieu, of Buffalo, Calls
the Confederate Flag a Dis
graceful, Accountable, and
Infamous Rag"

BALTIMORE, March S.-A sermon
preached here yesterday by Bishop
Mallalieu, of Buffalo, the presiding Of
ficer of the Baltimore Methodist Epis-
copal Conference, has caused a great
stir.
The Bishop spoke In terms of con-
tumely of the Confederate flag. To.
day, when the portion of the sermon
in which this reference was made APP
peared in the newspapers, it excited
indignation in the minds of ex-Con.
federates and provoked condemnation
from many members of the confer
ence.
The sermon was preached in the
Eutaw Street Church to congrega-
ton which filled the church so that
many had to stand in the aisles.
The Bishops subject was "The Foun-
dation of FAITH Iu the course of his
remarks, when referring to the power
of christianity, he said that it was not
Wendell Philips, Garrison, Lincoln
nor the Republican party who rid the
country of slavery.
"Nor,n be added, 1.-THE millions of
heroic men, the bravest who ever
fought, who gave up their lives fight
ing against the disgraceful, abomina-
ble, and Infamous rag that f1oated
over the Confederacy."
None Of these forces, the Bishop
said, had wiped away slavery, but it
was the appeals that went up to God
from the bondsmen and bondswomen
The wrathful protests of adherents of
the Lost Cause" has been heard all
over the city.

The Remedy Not in the Tariff.

Better let the old tariff alone. 1t is
doing quite well, and promises greater
returns. The balance of trade is in
our favor and with healthy conditions
to aidit, there could be no reason for
a change. But it is in the conditions
where the danger lies. Build up and
foster our merchant marine service:
adjust and properly regulate our bank
ing system; put our present finances on
bimetallic basis; give employment to
labor, and above all compel legislative
economy in national appropriations
aud expenses. This latter is the most
serious and vital point. Any business
whose income does not overbalance
expenses must either go into liquida-
ton or else decrease expenditures to
make ends meet temporarily. That
is the way our government has been
and is now doing. Change this, and
the extra session can dispense with
any trifling with the tariff.

THE inaugural of President McKin-
ley is filled with bright hopes for the
Nation. Notwithstanding the fact that
the President asks for time for the full
fillment of the many promises made
during "A heated campaign, no one will
feel indisposed TO extend all the time
that it is fair for him to ask. The de
sire that our government may keep
from war, and settle all disputes with
foreign nations by fair and just arbi-
tration, will be cheerfully accepted by
the people at large. Many, however,
do not seem able 10 realize how it is
possible to bring peace and prosperity
to depressed people by additional tax
alton. The increase of the tariff will,
as a matter of course, increase the price
of the article taxed, and whilst il may
stimulate industrial enterprises the en-
creased prices are an additional bur-
den to the consumer. The determina-
ton of the President to give no quarter
TO the great trusts and monopolies
which have been fostered through the
fundamentally of the Republican lead
ers of the country, will be most graft
flying news to the people. The Repub-
lican organization of New York have
started in to prevent trusts from mo
nopolizing the smaller lines of business
which have made competition in bust
ness even possible. Altogether Mr..
rcKinley has created most favorable
-ession, and if he is able to free,

London View of Mckinley.

LONDON, March 4, 1S97.-The Stand
ard, commenting upon President Nc
Kinley's inaugural address, will TO-
morrow say:
at is a mild and not unpleasant
effusion. The tone is little SNUG and
goody-goody, but Kindly Beneath its
smooth words, however, a most serious
purpose is observable. The refrain of
the discourse is not peace to all men,
but more protection. Experience is of
no use yet to either Mr.. Mckinley or
the American people. They have not
yet suffered enough for their economic
heresies.
The Daily NeDs will say that on the
whole the most satisfactory and reas-
surfing feature of the address is the way
in which it is tempered with the doc
trine Of the defeated party. Even the
tariff paragraph is an endeavor to COM
promise between conflicting principles.
The passage relating to a restoration of
the merchant marine is one of the most
significant, but it is not exactly for to-
day, especially as the United States
will never have an export trade to
speak of while it willingly deprives it.

Trouble in Spain.

A press dispatch from Madrid says:
A very troubled condition of affairs
prevails in Spain. The most acute dis
tress is being experienced. the Carlists
are showing unmistakable signs OF ac-
tivity, there is further alarming news
from the Philippine Islands, the gov
eminent is disguised with the perform
ances of Captain General Weyler in
Cuba, but they dale not recall him.
In this connection a startling explana-
tion of the inaction of the government
is hInted at. According to the rumors
circulating here, the reasons why Wey-
Ter is not recalled are, firstly, because
he is pronounced republican,; second
ly, because Ais intimated that sooner
than return to Spain in disgrace he
would proclaim republic in Havana.

The Change at Montevue.

The removal of Superintendent
Derr from Montevue by the Board of
Charities and Corrections, by the Demo-
cratic members, consisting of Mr.. Au-
gustus BOteler, of Frederick; Bussard,
of jackson; and Maught, of Peters
vile, has accustomed no end of talk.
The announcement was a complete
surprise. Rumors by no means COM
plimentary to the above men have
been freely circulated, and bitter
criticisms have been the result. 1t
is gratifying to find men ready
to discharge personal obligations, but
few will give any one credit for using
a public position to pay personal debts
Messrs. Maught and Bussard positively
assured many persons that the gable
of two women should not cause any
trouble to Mr.. Derr as superintendent.
The secret way in which those inter-
ested in others caused his removal,
was anything but creditable. The
State Board of Health unhesitatingly
spoke of the superintendent as one of
! the most efficient in the State, the
Grand Jury gladly complimented him
in their recent report and the County
Commissioners held him in the high
est esteem. The press of the county
was always accorded every facility to
I sNNxt 70 III - 81
and never hestated to do him credit.
And yet because Mrs. Derr and some
professional nurse could not agree, the
county has to lose the services of a
man especially fitted for the duties of
superintendent of such an institution.
The physician in charge could have
had the services of trained nurse to
telephone him the condition of his pa
tients without turning out an efficient
superintendent. This unexpected, aud
we confess undesirable change, in the
! judgment of many who have the in
! terest of the institution at heart, should
not have been made for any such cause
The man placed in Mr. Derr's position
has been the tramp boss and he has
made "a very good one. Whether he is
fitted for such duties as devolves on a
superintendent, remains too be seem
We shall judge him by his own record.
If the Board of Charities and Co,rec-
i tons felt that they were acting for the
/ best interests of the institution in max
ing this removal, no one could question
them. If they can show that Mr..
Derr was unsuited for the place, no one
would blame them. But to remove a
competent official for such cause,
will reflect upon them for all time to
/ come.

A BILLION-DOLLAR CON-
GRESS.
Chairman Cannon aud Mr.. Savers
Give Their Views on Its Enor-
nous Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Represent-
ative Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee of the
House, and Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, who
is at the head of the minority of that
committee, have prepared their reviews
of the appropriations of the Congress
just ended aud they will be printed in
the Congressional Record tomorrow
morning.
MIR. Cannon makes the total appro-
prlations submitted to the President
for his approval at the last session, in
Guiding the general deficiency, which
failed in conference, S5lS, 103, 458, or
S25, 3S3, 276 less than the estimates sub
mitted to Congress by the Executive.
The appropriations for the first session
were S5l5, S45, 1874. making total for
the Congress of $1,043, 49,, 0lS, which,
he says, is $40, 1877, Sl2 more than the
appropriations tor the preceding Con-
greSs.
"lf the appropriations made by Con
gress," says Mr.. Cannon, ''have been
extravagant and beyond the revenues
of the government, how much more so
have been the estimates of the EXecu-
tive" The record shows that in no
instance during many years past have
tue appropriations made 10y Congress
measured up to the full amounts lie ON
mended aud asked for by the aduiuis-
tration.
Mr.. Sayers, in his statement, makes
the total appropriations OF this Con-
Al in off E',ft
third Congress, SIC, 322, 40 over The
Fifty second Congres aud 81. 1871 90S IN
in excess over the Fifty first Congress.
He says:

crease i'll direct appropriations, this
Congress, at its first session. authorized

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Sent to the Foreign Relation Com.
mittee of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March s.-During
the executive session of the Senate
this afternoon Senator Davis moved
to refer the general treaty of arbitra-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain, which is now on the
table, back to the Committee on For
eign Relations. together with the
pending amendments.
This action was taken up without
opposition, although there was some
immaterial discussion as to the method
of getting the convention there. Sena-
tor Morgan cOntended-and read a
rule in support of his contention-that
the treaty at the end of the Congress
went back to the committee and that
all proceedings with respect thereto
must be begun de novo. This was dis
puted, and the discussion was engaged
in by Senators Hoar, Morgan, Daniel,
Teller. Davis and White.

Gratis to unite. Gold and silver men of

the city. This is a lesson which might
be taken to heart by Maryland Demo
Gratis. Surely it is time for the Dem
ocrats 10 realize that already some
have worked such ruin to the organi-
zation of their party, that it will re-
quire the ablest management and
most perfect harmony 70 place it in
the position it once occupied in this
State.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1897-03-12

The Republicans, by filling one va
cancy and giving the other To the DEM
ocrats, will have no assurance of Sc
curing report on tariff bill. To
claim both vacancies and place Mr..
Jones with the minority members
would cause great opposition among
the Democrats. To arrange these diff
culties, if possible, is what the advis-
DRY committee is expected to do.
1t was also recognized in the caucus
that such men as Teller of Colorado,
aud Pettigrew of South Dakota, could
not be removed from their chairman
ship and places on the appropriations
committee any more than could Mr..
Jones, of Nevada, without solidifying
the opposition of the three parties, who
can by combination organize the Sen
ate. For this reason the advocacy Of
reorganization on wholly Republican
lines was abandoned almost as soon as
preached. The general desire seemed
to be to secure such all organization IS
would result in continuing the COM
mittees in charge of the Republicans,
with such assistance as could be secur-
ed from other sources.
Tie Republican Senators renamed
in caucus an hour and a quarter, dis
cussing the situation of the parties in
the Senate. The only conclusion
reached was the direction of the APP
pOintment of a committee TO confer with
other parties in the Senate relative to
vacancies on the Senate committees
Senator Allison was made chairman of
this advisory committee, with power
to name other members, 1t was made
! evident to the Republicans that they
do not have an organizing majority as
the parties now stand, and there was
no one who could assure the caucus
that votes could be expected from
either the Populist or Silver Repub-
lican parties.

PRESIDENT CLARKE RE-
SIGNS.
Head of the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road and Well Known Here.

A special from Jackson, Tenn, says
that a dispatch has been received there
stating that J. L. Clarke, President of

Mr.. Clarke is former Fredericton

home is in Mobile, where Mr.. Mann,
who is general manager of the road,
also resides.
The Mobile and Ohio extends from
Mobile TO ST. Louis and also runs to

miles long. Gen. Clarke expects to
visit Frederick before long and may
remain here some time. He will be
warmly welcomed by his many
friends.
