THE CHURCH ARRAIGNED.

The church is in the hands Of the cap
italists and their friends, and consequent
ly its influence is used for the capitals
tic class against the laboring man, &C
cordiug to Prof. Smaller Mathews, dean
of the University of Chicago Divinity
School, who spoke at the Chautauqua
Assembly yesterday.
The Chicago theologian scored the
substituting of theological students while
studying, claiming that inefficient min.
listers were the result. Commercialism
was asserted to be the bane OF the
church, which has need for al ethical
revival.
oThe church is composed of the capi-
talstic class or sympathizers with the
capitalistic class" said Dean Mathews.
cit can influence very largely, therefore,
the course of legislation. 1t Is possible
for the church to transform society in
the process of legislation.
"On the other hand, 1t is not fair to
throw it up against the church that 1t is
not in touch with the laboring man.
What interes. has the laboring class in
the church? The large proportion Of
our people have their own ethniC
churches, and the Protestant churches
cannot get footing because of ethni'
prejudice. Any church that is worthy
of the name is interested in the labor
ing man.
TOO many theological seminaries ar
failing to send out trained leaders OF th'
church. They are committed to com
mercializsd method of offering thei
students financial aid. They fail prop
erly TO educate men for leadership in al
age like the present. Commsrcislism
the bane of the church. We need 81
ethical revival"

PICOUART INSULTED.

Gen. Picquart, minister OF war, was
insulted and afterward assaulted In the
railroad station in Rochefort, France,
Yesterday evening, when returning from
the dedication of monument to Edouard
Grimsux, who was prominent In secur-
ing a revision Of the sentence OF Capt.
Dreyfus.
A workman suddenly emerged from
a crowd that was applsuding Gen. Pic
quart and spqt in bis face, and, at the
same time, violently seized him by the
arm and cried: ''It lie you, then, Pic
quart. Long live the Marechal p
Gen. PIcquart !hreW of his assailan'
before he had an opportunity to do him
further harm.
simultaneously with the outrage, tht
crowd, with shouts of anger at the In
dignity offered the war minister, surgec
forward and fell upon his ssssilant, who
WAS trampled and 10 danger OF being
killed. He was finally rescued by thu
police and taken to jail, bsdly mauleC
and bruised.
The man was identified as E1ouarC
Lecop, a member of the National Work
mems Federation, which supports tn
open-shop movement. He carried
large sum of money. but refused to ex
plain his action. |! is thought he !
insane. Gen. Picquart was not hurt
and resumed his journey.

BLAOKMAIL, MURDER AND ABB
DUOTION.

One of the most serious problems that
face the New York police department is
the suppression of blackmsil and ex-
tortion. The number of cases reported
10 the police annually in the last few
wears has increased with rspidity out
of all proportion to the increase in popu-
lation.
The New York police records show
that in 1901 seven persons were arrested
for blackmail, 81 for extortion, l for
attempted extortion and l for kidnsp-
ping. In 1906 Is persons were arrested
for blackmail, 81 for extortion, 20 for
attempted exlortion and 81 for kidnap-
ping. In the same period the srrests for
homicide jumped from 402 to S47.
A high official of the United States
Secret Service force suggested the other
day an interesting explanation of the in
crease in the number of extortioD cases.
1t is well known that criminal Italians,
chiefly men who have been members OF
the notorious Malta in Sicily or the Ca
mora in Naples, are behind many OF the
attempts that are made to extort money
in New York.
The secret service official gave 1t as
his opinion that part Of the same gang OF
cutthroals who were responsible tor the
barrel murder in 1903 are behind most
of the Blsck Hsnd attempts that are be-
ing made now.
The Black Hand alone has made pee
essary the establishment of separate
bureau Of Italian detectives at police
headquarters. =,
Ii is estimated that nine-tenths of all
the cases that come before this bureau are
connected 10 one way or another with the
operations of the Black Hand.
There are 400, 900 Italians in New
York city, and this bureau Of 80 men is
practically all that the department has to
depend on to keep it in touch with the
secret doings in the several Italian colo
nies. 1t has been estimated that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
harvested by the Black Hand in the last
five years, that at least 20 children have
been kidnapped and that probably 5O
murders can be charged up against 1t.

relieved the 35th Ohio. The 2Ist Ohio
was taken from the division and brigade
TO which it belonged to check a>Confed-
crate brigade that had broken our lines
and the 21st Ohio was the first regi-

forces there. Here the regiment per.

Execution of Guerrilla and Robber.

Editor National Tribune: In your is
sue of July IL Comrade Commodore r.
Lewellyn, of the 18th Tenn. Cav, says
that about August, 1864. the 18th Tenn.
captured guerrilla near Lawrence
burg, Tenn He must remember that
the 10th and 18th We're brigaded to-
gether, and that both regiments were
there. The command got to Lawrence
burg about II or II o'clock at night.
and pickets were posted. Serg't Dicl,
Jones, of Co. ID, 10th Tenn, was posted
back of cornlield north of the camps
in path or stock trail, and he told
me the next morning when he brought
| in the guerrilla that he and his men
had not been on the post more than
80 minutes when this guerrilla and two
boys came up to the post, and .hev
captured and brought them in to our
20. ID about sunup the next morning
when they were taken to brigade head
quarters and turned over to Col Spald-
ing. who soon got up proof that the
about IL o'clock. Capt. Kirk and a
detail from the 18th Tenn. did the
execution in the presence of the bri-
Sade. John l.. Owen, of the 10th Tenn,
says in issue of Aug. that the gucr-
rilla's name was John A. Blackans. in
this l think he is mistaken. / under
stood at the time that his name was
John A. Blackwell. / never learned
the names of the two boys that were
with him. The boys that were with
him both said that 1t was their frs,
! trip, and Blackwell said that he had
persuaded them to go with him, that
IL was their first trip and they were
! innocent. They were taken back tC
/ Nashville, and 1 never knew what be-
came of them. Blackwell had a large
roll of leather just from the vat tied

had killed and robbed Union soldiers

THE GARIBALDI GUARD.
Gen. Mcclellan Did Injustice to a Gallant
Regiment.

Editor National Tribune: In your ar
ticle of the Peninsular Campaign (Na-
tional Tribune of July IL, speaking
about the Notifications around Wash
ington, you quote Gen. McClellan's own
words:
During the Autumn of 1861, as al
ready stated. / spent my days chiefly
tanning of my duties We're those which
led me sometimes to Gen. Blenker's 9
camp, etc. This division was peculiar.
So far as the pride, Domp and circum-
stances of glorious war were concerned
it entirely outshone all the others. Their
drill and bearing were also excellent,
for all the officers had served in Eu-
rope. The regiments We're all foreign
and mostly of Germans, but the most
remarkable of all WIS the Garibaldi
Guard Regiment. It's Colonel, d'UtaSSy,
was a Hungarian" So far so good.
Now, the following is a continuation
in Gen. McClellan's own words, as the
article says:
"These men were from all known
and unknown lands and from all pos
sble and impossible armies-Zouaves
from Algiers. men of the foreign le-
gion, Zcphyrs, Cossacfs, Garibaldians
Of the deepest dye, English deserters,
Sepoys Turcos, Croats, Swiss, beer
drinkers from Bavaria. stout men from
north Germany, ana no DOUBT CnlneSe,
Eskimos and detachments from the
army of the Grand Duchess of Gerol-
stein l well remember that when re-
turning one night from beyond the
| picket line I encountered an outpost OF
the Garibaldis. In reply to the chal-
lenge I tried English, French, Spanish.
Italian. German, Indian, Russian and
Turkish. all in vain, for nothing at my
disposal made the slightest impression
upon them and / inferred that they
were perhaps gypsies. Eskimos or Chi
nese."
Now. Mr.. Editor you should have
never permitted to have such slander
go into print. Your own good sense
Ishould have told YOU that Gen. McClel-
Ian was too much of gentleman and
| Il soldier to make such ridiculous and
Insulting remarks of a regiment which
won high honors at Gettysburg for gal
| liant service, and had special granite
marker dedicated to them by the State
| of New York for bravery in retaking a
United States battery from the hands
of the enemy. True enough, the regi-
ment was cosmopolitan. and consisted
of three companies OF Germans and
one company each of Swiss, French
| Spanish, Italian and HunSarians wher
we left New York. but no regiment has
q better war record than the 39th y
Y. (Garibaldi Guard). ] myself served
/ in the regiment three years and com.
