METHODS OF CHAKIT Y WOBK. Jnformation Famished the Ministers About the Charity Organization, All of Which Is Received with Thankg, Although the Conference Is Not Characterized by a Spirit of Harmony.

The Indianapolis Ministers’ Association, to (he number of forty or more, met yesterday forenoon, in the pastor’s study of the Second Presbyterian Church, the meeting being one of inquiry into the management of the affairs of the Indianapolis Benovolent Society and the various interests federated under the name of the Charity Organization. Rev. N. A. Hyde was called to the chair, and Rev. J. A. Rondthaler opened the meeting with prayer. Rev. M. L. Haines acted as secretary. Rev. O. C. McCulloch, W. P. Fishback, Charles Martindale and Nathan Morris, of the executive committee of the Charity Organization, were present. The chairman announced that the object of the meeting was to define the relation of the organization to the churches, and to discuss matters of administration of the society and methods of work. Mr. Rondthaler said, the matter being now virtually before the meeting, he would ask, so that everyone might understand, the relations between the Indianapolis Benevolent Society (of which Mr. McCulloch is president, and the Charity Organisation. Mr. McCulloch then explained,not without frequent interruptions, the method of work of the Charity Organization, and showed that the Benevolent Society, while connected with that or ganization, was still separate and distinct, and that the organized charity work, costing about $1,500 a year, was in nowise sustained by money from the Benevolent Society. He showed, among other good works that had been done, the Charity Organization had given efficient aid in putting down the Vincennes lottery, in pushing an inquiry into the management of the Marion County Poor-farm, which brought about a reform in that institution, in furthering the project which led to the erection of our present work-house, and so forth. It seeks to abolish pauperism, to relieve distress, to keep a record of the criminal and unworthy classes, to know the causes of crime and the cost of it. Above all, prompt and adequate relief is characteristic of the action of the society. Mr. McCulloch was closely catechised on the point whether money contributed to the Indianapolis Benevolent Society was not used to pay expenses of the other organizations. One gentleman asked, “Aro these organizations civil or ecclesiastical!” to which he very pointedly replied, “Civil; nothing ecclesiastical until this morning.” Dr. MoLicod said that it had been understood that when the collectors went round to collect funds from those disposed to be charitable, it was not clearly shown where their contributions wenv—that it ail went to Mr. McCulloch, and the distinction between the funds of the Benevolent Society and that of the Charity Organization was an illusory one. Mr. McCulloch, in reply, said as a matter of fact, that was an entire misapprehension, and that while he drew all the checks the funds were kept separate. Mr. Fishback explained that each Subscriber was asked to indicate into which society his contribution was to go. Dr. Jenckes asked if the weekly meetings of ths Charity Organization were open to clergymen t* eorac. To this Mr. McCulloch replied that anronkttNald come, that Mr. Rondthaler, Mr. Hunter, Dr. McLeod and Father Bessonies attended the meetingr., the last named having missed few meetings during the last six years. Dr. Jeackes said: "Do you ask us as ministers or subscribers!*’ to which Mr. McCulloch replied: “I ask you as citizens. There are no ministers in this organization.” Dr. McLeod said that he regretted that there' .was not a closer bond of sympathy between the cbnrcbes and the charities, for an impression existed that the ministers had nothing to do with the organized benevolence of the city. In enlarging upon this he said that it was generally believed that if a business man should give SSO to the canvasser, $25, or even more of it, would [to toward expenses of the administration, while ese than $25 would go to the poor. In other words, it took about 50 per cent, of all the money eolleeted to expend the other 50 per cent. "A statement like that is false in spirit and in fact,” Interrupted Mr. McCulloeh. Dr. McLeod replied that his statement was based on information obtained from the annual report of the societies. This report shows that the receipts for the year ending Oct. 31, 1885, less $392.44 of unpaid subscriptions and a balance carried forward, amounted to $5,309.34. Os this amount the sum of $913.15 was paid on old debts, leaving a total cash expenditure in the work of charity for the current year of $4,396.19. The total coat of administration for the year amounts to $2,201.38. Hence, it appears that 50& per cent was consumed in the cost of administration, so that, of every dollar given for relief, 49$ cents reaches the poor, and it requires the other 504 cents to find out where the worthy poor are. Dr. Gilbert said be bad labored in three cities larger than Indianapolis. Those cities were Buffalo, Cincinnati and Milwaukee; but he had never been in any community where there had been so much said on tile subject of oharlty as in Indianapolis. Never had he had brought to his personal notice so great an amount of want. During the last month twenty-eight persons had come to his door for charity. It was an alarming state of affairs, simply overwhelming and appalling. Meridian street Chutcb takes entire eare of her own poor. He wished there were more; for there were not many of them. A large number of the men in that church are connected with the various organized charities, among whom are Messre. Malott. Shipp, Krag* Gray and Haughey, and others have been contributing freely to the benevolence of the city, and he would not deter them. Meridian-street Church last year gave no less than SSOO in that way. He would cast no criticism tn the organization, but it seemed to him there ought to be some plan devised to learn the cause of this alarming pauperism, and also some way to have a more vital union between the evangelical churches of the city and this organization. Mr. Rondthaler remarked that Dr. Gilbert, who was a newcomer, had the same experience that he himself had, when he first came here, in the way of begging visitors. He provided himself with tickets directing them to the Charity Organization. Many of them were, without doubt, unworthy. The Charity Organization investigated, and put relief where it was deserved. Dr. Jenckes said "there was not a single one of the ministers present who might not have been in generous rivalry with Brother McCulloch in his good work if he had seen fit to be. But Mr. McCulloch has done the work better than we could. I recognize in his ability the law of the survival of the fittest, and also that he is the beet fitted for it by the amiability with which be submits to this prodding.” The Doctor told a story of a calf butting at the maternal bovine <ount until tho cow, in self-defense, was forced to cut off tho supply, and made the anecdote aptly Illustrate what might happen if they made the same mistake with Mr. McCulloch. He then offered the following resolution: Resolved, That we cordially approve of the present management of the Associated Charities of this city, and recommend to all charitable people and the ministers of Indianapolis that they take a more active interest in the same, both by their attendance and their contributions. The resolution was not immediately seconded, and it looked for a moment as if a bombshell had been thrown among the brethren. Dr. Jeffery rose and made a delightful little •peach, which immediately put everyone in the happiest humor. He asked the reporters not to report him at all, and after making a suggestion that it would be well to have two subscription books, one for those who desire to subscribe to tbe Benevolent Society fund and another for those who contribute to the Charity Organization, he turned, with beaming good nature, to

Mr. McCulloch and said: "Now, Brother McCulloch, why don't you join our Ministers’ Associations I think if there were a little more intercourse with us we would understand each other better. So far as I am personally concerned, I have no epmpathy with that phase of evangelical religion that is divorced from humanitarian principles. I don’t want the impression to exist in this community that the evangelical element stands aloof from humanitarian work.” "I would like to know,” Dr. McLeod inquired, “what phase of evangelical religion Dr. Jeffery refers to? I never heard of evangelical religion being divorced from humanitarian principles.” “Nor nobody else,” added Mr. Hendrickson, “ever heard of such a thing.” Rev. G. L. McNutt moved that the meeting thank Mr. McCulloch and the other gentleman for having come there and given information, but as the organizations were secular, it was the sense of the meeting that the churches and ministers, otherwise than as other citizens, had nothing to do with it. Rev. John Baitzly seconded Dr. Jenckes’s resolution. Rev. R. V. Hunter said that they had learned something that morning and that they coaid better prove their interest by deeds than by any Resolutions that they might pass. Dr. McLeod said he could not see what benefit would come of passing it. He did not think it it proper to give such hearty indorsement as that resolution. Rev. J. A. Sargent said it was not in accordance with the constitution of the Ministers’ Association to pass resolutions indorsing anybody, and Dr. Jenckes withdrew his resolution. That of Mr. AfcNutt had not been seconded. Mr. W. P. Fishback explained the way in which the system of organized charity here operated, not only to help the deserving but to save money to the tax payers. He said the basis of all Christian relief—to see that the worthy poor receive and the unworthy do not receive—is to inquire into every case, and the Charity Organization undertakes to do this in Indianapolis. Mr. Fishback said he had thirty years’ experience in this city, and knew the money now went to the right place in the speediest and best way. To the suggestion that it was unfortunate that a minister should be at the head of the organized charities, and that Plymouth Church should be used as headquarters, Mr. McCulloch gave explanation that he came to have the work almost as an accident, and was not president or member because he was a minister, which had nothing to do with it. He explained to the ministers present about the family here numbering by blood and marriage relationship about 800 persons, paupers and criminals* A record of these is kept by the'organization, and that fact saves the earn ings of many honest people in this city from going for unworthy relief. Dr. McLeod still thought it unfortunate that the charities should be iu any church, and that a pastor should be the president. In the remarks made by people It is Plymouth Church; Plymouth Church all the way through, and it would be better for the society and others if the rooms were entirely divorced from the church. Dr. McLeod. Dr. Gilbert and others said the fact must not be lost sight of that the contributors to these charities were people belonging to the evangelical churches. Dr. Jeffery agreed, but added, “I don’t care who gives a crust of bread to a hungry man, I do not propose to be with the priest and Levite to pass on the other side. There has in times gone by been a tendency to go to a starving man and eive him a tract. It is said that in Boston the Unitarians have done more in charity tliau the evangelical churches. lam willing to have Mr. McCulloch come into my pulpit aud plead the cause of suffering humanity. Are the rest of you willing to do the same! [A cry of ’Yes, yes.’] Then let ns begin to do it.” Dr. Jenckes said he believed there was no better way of showing their sympathy with the cause in which Mr. McCulloch was engaged than by contributing to it and attending the meetings on Wednesday afternoons. He moved they attend the next meeting, and as he removed his hand from the table Mr. McCulloch unfolded a crumpled contribution, which proved to be a $b note. Rev. M. L. Haines said they had needed information and had gained a large amount He moved that the meeting extend a vote of thanks to the executive committee of the Charity Organization Society for their attendance and information, which was done, and the meeting adjourned.

CONGRESS AND THE STRIKE. Debate in the House on the Question of Appointing a Committee of Inquiry. After a Prefctj Free Expression of Opinion, a Resolution Authorizing' Such Action Is Finally Passed Without a Division.

Washington, April 12.—Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, from the committee on ways and means, reported a bill to reduce tariff taxes and to modify the law in relation to the collection of the revenue, and it was referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, presented the views of the minority of the committee. Mr. O’Neill, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to have printed iu the Record a protest ot employers, representing 47,000 working men in all the States of the Union, against a reduction of the tariff. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, insisted that the protest should be p.esented-through the petitionbox. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, from the committee on rules, reported a resolution for the appointment of a select committee of seven members, to be appointed by the Speaker, to investigate the causes and extent of the disturbed conditions now existing in the relations between railroad corporations engaged in interstate commerce and their employes in the States of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. The committee shall have power to send for persons and papers, to sit during the sessions of the House, and to visit such places in those States as may be necessary in order to facilitate the investigation. It Shall report during the present session, with such recommendations as it may deem proper to make. Mr. Morrison stated that the bill which bad recently passed the House, known as the arbitration bill, was inadequate in its provisions. The object of the pending resolution was to enable Congress to learn the facts of the case, so that it might perfect its legislation. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, contended ttiat Congress had no more power to regnlate questions arising between common carriers and their hired laborers than questions arising between carriers and their butchers or grocers. These were local questions, aud the fact that one of the parties might be engaged in interstate commerce did not give Congress jurisdiction over the other. The qnestion was whether a Demo eratic House of Representatives would deny and repudiate local self-government, or whether it would assume that the States were no longer able to execute their functions. Mr. Morgan, of Mississippi, thought that it was time the House should dispel the illusion in the minds of laboring men—an illusion that re-, lief lay in the body of this House. Relief could not be found here, or be aided by any legislative enactment. It was the duty of the House to speak at once, in order that the workingmen might stop, pause and consider. Mr. Powderly stood at the head of a powerful organization, which he endeavored to govern with wisdom. He had been unable to do so, because his subordinates had refused to acknowledge his authority. The workingmen said they wished to arbitrate. What was there to be Arbitrated? They said to the railroad company, "We want employment,” and the company said, “We don’t want your services.” The men said, “We will arbitrate,” and the railroad company answered, "We will not arbitrate, because we do not want you.” This was like any other contract When the services of the men were declined there was an end to the transaction, and Congress had no power to pass a law which would make a contract for the men. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, said that no member was more desirous than he of restricting legislation within constitutional limits, yet in this case tfae government was interested in seeing peace and order prevail instead of discontent. The resolution had reference to interstate commerce, which was now interrupted. There was no harm in the House possessing itself of full information on the subject Mr. Hiscock, of New York, was curious to see how many gentlemen on the other side of the House would invoke the Constitution against the right of petition—how many would go on record against the 700,000 men who said they bad wrongs to be redressed, and who asked for the assistance of Congress. Mr. Reed, of Maine, said that Congress, like every other legislative body, sat for the hearing and redress of grievances, and in this case it was bound to give the investigation asked for, to learn what the facts were, and then act upon them, if it turned out that the facts were such as could be acted upon. He protested against the everlasting putting up of the Constitution against every proposition which was presented in the House. The effect of this would be to make a mockery of the Constitution, and to give a point to the jest that tho Constitution, in the mind of a strict constructionist, was in favor of every bill he wanted, aud against every bill he opposed. Mr. Warner, of Ohio, emphasized the gravity of the occasion, maintained that do power other than Congress was adequate to deal with the subject, and contended .that the proposed investigation came within the provisions of the Constitution. Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, said that the purpose of the resolution was to investigate the causes of the unrest of the people. If corporations bad violated the rights of the humblest man in the country, he had the right to redress, and had a right to a bearing before this august assembly. If the man was wronged, let Congress understand it, and lay the iron hand of the fovernment on those who had wronged him. f there was no power in the Constitution to redress these wrongs, it was a broken staff. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, regretted that the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Reagan] should have placed his opposition to the resolution on constitutional grounds. That gentleman should have tieen the last man to oppose a proposition which had in view the securing of valuable information touching interstate commerce. The time of the House should not be frittered away in discussing constitutional points every time the rights of the workingman were involved. The resolution was adopted without division. Under the call of States, the following bills were introduced and referred: By Mr. Townshend, of Illinois: Authorizing the granting of pensions to the parents of de ceased soldiers, on proof that they are without other means of support than their owd manual labor. By Mr. Sanderson, of Kansas: For the classification of the public lauds, and a revision of the laws relating to the public lands. By Mr. Zach Taylor, of Tennessee: Requiring national museums and institutions to keep open on Sunday. By Mr. Brady, of Virginia: Authorizing the President to appoint a board of commissioners to investigate to what extont the United States may be legally or equitably liable for the debt due by the State of Virginia because of the partition of the State, without its consent, during the late war, the extent; of the equitable liability of the United States to the bondholders of other States of the Union and foreign bondholders. on account of the action of the State authorities of Virginia notifying the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States as to the debt of Virginia. Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, moved that the House take a recess for one hour, to enable members to view the procession of the veterans of 1861. Lost The floor was then obtained by Mr. Barbour, of Virginia, on behalf of the committee on the District of Columbia. A bill was passed providing that no money shall be expended for the improvement of the Potomac river flats until the question of adverse titles shall have been decided. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, from the committee on elections, submitted the report of that committee on the contested election case of Campbell versus jVeaver, from the Sixth district of Ohio. Ordered printed. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was then passed, without discussion or substantial amendment. The House then adjourned. A Substitute for the O’Neill Bill. Washington, April 12.—Senator Sherman submitted in the Senate, to day, an amendment to the House labor arbitration bill. The amend* moot was ordered to lie over and bo printed. It

is as follows: To strike out all after the enacting clause of the bill, and substitute the following: “Section 1. Tbat a commission is hereby created, called the arbitration commission, to consist of twelve members, composed as follows: Two members of the Senate, to bo appointed by the President of fthe Senate; three members of the House of Representatives, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House, and seven members from civil life, to be appointed by the President of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, not more than four of whom shall belong to one political party, who shall be selected for superior intelligence as to the industrial aud laboring interests of the country. The civil commissioners shall receive a compensation for their services, each at the rate of $lO per day when engaged in duty, and each member of the commission shall receive actual traveling and other necessary expenses. "Sec. 2. That it shall be the doty of said commission to take into consideration and to thoroughly investigate all the various controversies that have arisen or are likely to arise between the employers and the employes, whether by corporations, or associations, or private individuals, and whether engaged in transportation, manufacturing, mining or other industrial interests of the United States, so far as they relate to such controversies between rival and competing companies, or between transportation, manufacturing and mining companies and their employes; and, for the purpose of fully examining the matters which may come before it, said commission, in the prosecution of its inquiries, is empowered to visit such different points and sections of the country as it may deem advisable. “Sec. 3. That the commission shall make to Congress final report of its investigation and the testimony taken in the coarse of the same, not later than the first Monday in December, 1886, and especially of such measure or measures as, in its judgment, may be expedient and within the constitutional power of Congress to adopt for the decision and settlement of such controversies, and the proper means to avoid or prevent the same.” Passage of the Indian Appropriation Bill. Washington, April 12.—A resolution, offered by Mr. Beck, was agreed to, appointing Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, to tho membership of the Senate committee on commerce, in place of Senator Jones, of Florida, during the present temporary absence of the latter Senator fpom the Senate. Mr. Morgan’s resolution, recently submitted, relating to the Nicaragua claims, was, at his request, referred to the committee ou Nicaragua claims. Mr. Riddleberger moved to take up the resolution relating to the consideration of executive nominations in open session. He refused a request to permit the Indian appropriation bill to be taken ud, and insisted on tbe yeas and naye, which resulted in the defeat of the motion—yeas 7, nays 51. [This vote is not in any sense a test of the strength of tho open-session movement, inasmuch as many of its strongest advocates, including Senators Platt, Teller, Gibson and Mitchell, voted in the negative.] Mr. Logan submitted an addition to his resolution relating to open executive sessions. The addition recites the Senate rules which the resolution proposes to amend. Mr. Platt asked and obtained unanimous consent to address the Senate, after morning business to-morrow, in support es his resolution relating to open executive sessions. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up. While the Indian appropriation bill was being read, Mr. Hoar moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business. The motion was agreed to, and the Senate doors were accordingly closed. When the doors were reopened the presiding officer—Mr. Harris in the chair—placed beforo the Senate as the “unfinished business” for the afternoon Mr. Frye’s fisheries resolution. Mr. Frye, by unanimous consent, allowed this to go over informally, in order that consideration of the Indian appropriation bill might be resumed. On motion of Mr. Conger, the Senate then took a recess of twenty minutes to enable Senators to observe the parade of tbe veterans of the District of Columbia, who were celebrating tbe twentydfcluanniversar.v of their muster into the military service of the Union in 1861. At the expiration of the recess the Senators returned to the chamber and the reading of the Indian appropriation bill was resumed. On motion of Mr. Conger and after debate by Messrs. Conger, Dawes, Dolph and Plumb, the amount of the appropriation for Indian schools in Alaska was increased from $15,000 to $20,000. The bill was then passed, substantially as reported from the committee, and the Senate adjourned.

The First Sign Os failing health, whether in the form of Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a sense of General Weariness and Loss of Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most effective for giving tone and strength to the enfeebled system, promoting the digestion and assimilation of food, restoring the nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purifying, enriching, and vitalizing the blood. Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fail. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervousness. I tried various remedies prescribed by different physicians, but became so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which I did, and I am now as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. I have also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that I believe it to be the best blood medicine ever compounded.—W. F. Fowler, M. D., D. D. S., Greenville, Tenn. Dyspepsia Cured. It would be impossible for me to describe what I suffered from Indigestion and Headache up to the time I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was under the care of various physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary relief. After taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for a short time, my headache disapS eared, and my stomach performed its uties more perfectly. To-day my health is completely restored. Mary Harley, Springfield, Mass. I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It tones and invigorates the system, regulates the action of the digestive and assimilative organs, and vitalizes the blood. It is, without doubt, the most reliable blood purifier yet discovered. H.
