considered as private, that every clerk
has aright to divulge its contents. and
that the secrets of every man’s busi-

An Orderly Assemblage.
The reports of the police department
and the proceedings of the police court
go to show that seldom, if ever, in the
history of anyr city, has an immense
popular gathering like that of last week
in Washington been characterized by
such general sobriety and good order,
says the Washington Pest. Notwith-
standing thc large contingent of crooks,
thieves, and persons of questionable
repute or camp followers,as they might
well be designated in this instance,
such a gathering is apt to attract, there
have been comparatively few arrests for
drunkenness or other infractions of the
The record is probably unex-
,,ampled and reflects great credit upon
the authorities, as it is also a source Of
much gratification to the good citizens
of Washington and their guests. The
reasons are not difficult of explanation.
The veterans of the Grand Army are
not the sort of men from whom any
sort of disturbance or irregularity
is to be apprehended. The member-
,ship of this organization includes the
best citizenship of the Republic, and if
the idea was anywhere r entertained
that the “bummcr’s brigade” element
was to be represented at this reunion
it was speedily dissipated by the digni-
fied and manly bearing of the old sol-
diers, with scarcely an exception. It
was a reunion of brave men, eminently
respectable and representative in their
various walks of life, and it is notice-
able that even where an excess of en-
thusiasm might be pardonable there was
no excess to criticise. Plain, every-day
citizens were our visitors, of sturdy
American type, of whose patriotism,
exemplified on many a field, the coun-
try may well be proud to be the legatce.
Charged to the McKinley Law.
The cable'brings us the unpleasant
ntclligcnce that a great strike in the
cotton manufacturing business in Eng-
land is‘pcnding. We do not like such
news. It means suffering and want
among the workers ; and possibly, in-
deed very frequently, it portends vio-
lence and bloodshed and the loss of
human life.
If this great strike were impending
in this country the free traders would
hasten to tell us that at bottom, as the
prime moving cause lies the McKinley
Tarifi' law. , '
And yet, perhaps, this unpleasant
state of affairs in England is, in point
of fact, largely due to the McKinley
law. That measure imposes certain
duties upon certain goods sought to be
imported into the United States, ‘and
also provides fora system of reciprocity
in commerce between this and other
countries. _
The result is that American manu-
facturers are enabled to not only sup-
ply their own market, but, through the
reciprocity authorized and made pos-
sible by the McKinley law, they have
occupied foreign markets heretofore
supplied exclusively by British manu-
facturers. As a consequence, business
has been dull with our British cousins,
and they have been compelled to make
choice between losing some share of
their profits or cutting down the wages
of their employes. . The time-honored
practice of the British manufacturer
was followed, and a reduction of wages'
has been announced. Against this the
employees rebel.
The money that was being paid to
the English manufacturer in this trade
is now being paid to American work?

and is building up our own country.

A Yankee Parson.
It is known to many of the readers of
the. Gamma that Rev. Dr. Pierson,
(who was the brother-in-law of the late
‘LeGrand Lockwood anda frequent vis-
itor here in N orwalk, and often occupy-
ing the pulpit of the “First Congrega-
tional Church,) Was recently called to
fill the London pulpit of the world-re-
noWned Dr. SpurgeOn. He has been
preaching there for several months past
with great acceptance, it was reported,
‘ but now it tranSpires that the congre-
gation of the late Dr. Spurgéon is not
entirely satisfied with the" selection of
the Rev. Dr. Piersbn as'his successor.
The dissatisfaction was made quite an-
' 'P‘i'ent at the special-meeting held on
last Sabbath evening for the purpose
:of‘.consi'dcring the matter. A cable-

healthy this is necessary.
Dr. Pierson on the part of a certain sec-
tion of the congregation was so strong
that there were numerous exciting
scenes during the meeting, and that af-
ter its adjournment, no less than thirty
members met in the vestibule and en-
gaged in the most bitter denunciations
of the American divine and praise for
Thomas Spurgeon, whom they think is
the proper person to succeed the dead
prelate.
It is not charged that Rev. Dr. Pier-
son is not a Christian or that he does
not possess all of the qualifications for
the place for which he has been named.
The only objection urged against him
is that he is an American, and our Eng-
lish friends don’t relish the idea of
coming to America for a man to tell
them how to worship God. The mem-
bers of this distinguished congregation
are evidently not averse to being in-
structed as to the proper route to heav-
en, but they propose that this instruc-
tion shall come from a native Briton,
or they shall know the reason why. _We
submit that our English friends do not
exhibit a proper Christian spirit, and
there is a possibility that they may
soon be made to regret this uncalled-
for display of opposition to Rev. Dr.
Pierson. . ‘
If the ultimate result of this agita-
tion should be the rejection of Dr.
Pierson. it will not be unreasonable to
presume that the people of the United
States will feel impelled to adopt retal-
iatory measures. We have accepted
many innovations at the hands of our
English cousins. We have at times
taken kindly to their ideas of art, liter-
ature, music and the New Yorkers have
even gone so far as to tolerate Lottie
Collins and her boom-dc-aye. In view
of this it is but fair that they should at
least give our output of theology a fair
trial. When Dr. Pierson was ushered
into this world he was not consulted in
regard to the details of his debut, and,
therefore, he is in no manner responsi-
ble for being an American.
advise our English friends to cease their
foolish contention and give Dr. Pierson
a hearing.

An English Howl.
The Liverpool Echo of September
16th says :
The outlook for British trade is de-
cidcdly not encouraging just at present.
The effect of the “stone wall” of tarifi
which our cousins in the United States
—“a little more than kin and less than
kind”—have erected around their terri-
tory avowedly to keep out British man-
ufactures is every day becoming more
disastrously apparent in this country.
Already Saltaire. that once proud
model of an English industrial com-
munity, is as good as gone. The Welsh
tin-plate industry is ruined, and the
plush trade of Huddersfield is about to
be transferred bodily across the Atlan-
tic to a point within the tariff wall.
The cotton trade of Lancashire is so
depressed that no one knows what may
come next, and consequently all brisk
enterprise is strangled and a general
feeling of apprehension prevails as re-
gards what the morrow may bring
forth. The latest evidence of the in-
jury donc to British trade by the Mo-
Kinley tariff—which, while not enrich-
ing the United States population, but
only the interested manufacturers,
makes us on this side poor indeed—is
afforded by the balance-sheet of the
Steel Company of Scotland, _which
shows a balance on the wrong Side of
no less than .4; 4,000. _
Two questions which will soon force
themselves upon the minds of the
working people, :0 whom the continued
maintenance and prosperity of_ our 1n-
dustrics is the very bread of life, are :
How long is this to last, and how may
it be remedied ? It is extremely doubt-
ful whether the people of the United
States will have either the foresight or
the courage to abrogatc within any
reasonable period a law which they are
told by many of their most trusted
leaders is the necessary basis of their
eventual industrial supremacy; and
further, for some reason which on this
side the Atlantic it is difficult to con-
prehend, the operation of “twisting the
British lion’s tail” appears to be at.
tended with supreme delight to the
thoroughbred Yankee, and hardly less
so to the hybrid agglomeration of races
- which forms so large a portion of the
population of the Republic.
Undoubtedly failing the succes at
the presidential pollin of Mr. Cleve-
land, who has pledge his part to a
retenue tarifi', the future of ritish
manufacturers and of all the subsidiary
industries depending upon them is dar
indeed. No doubt the old country will
