Tho Republican congressional appor
tionment bill gives that party sixteen
distiicts and tho Democrats twelve.
Tho Democratic) bill makes fifteen re
publican mid thirteen democratic dis
tricts. One of the soldiers on guard at tho
tomb of Garfield, has cono crazy and
been removed to nil asylum. It is said
tho guard do not liko tho constant
watch in a graveyard nnd make nil
sorts of excuses to bo rclioved.
There has been too much tiino wast
ed in tho Legislature over tho freo pass
discussion. The constitution says that
no ireo passes shall tie issued. Why
should legislators who nro sworn to
oboy that instrument longer delay in
uuiuruuig us provisions I
Governor Pattison has been sustain
again by the courts again. Tho Phila.
judges havo decided that tho Gov
ernor is tho only appointing power so,
far as tho ofiloo of Recorder is concerned
and that ho therefore has tho power to
rcmovo that officer; Recorder Lano
must go.
Republican majorities in tho Legisla
ture havo never failed to pass appor
tionment laws giving their party a
larger proportion of representation than
thoy wero entitled to. But now, when
a Democratic House proposes to mako
a fair apportionment that will givoeaoh
party a fair representation according to
tho votes of tho reapeotivo parties, it is
caueu Ecrrymnnacnng. us a poorruio i
that wont work both ways.
A newspaper that would suit every
body would bo read bjiobody. If never
criticized, it would be becauso it ex
pressed no opinion worth criticizing.
An editor who has views of Ills own,
and does not fear to print them, cannot
expect to havo Btnooth sailing always.
His views must run counter to thoso of
somebody else. If all men thought aliko
there would bo an end to religious de
nominations, to political parties, and
perhaps to matrimony. Tho only way
to get along in this world is to do
what you beliovo to bo right, and stick
to it until convinced yon are wrong.
After much delay and litigation tho
l'assion play or isalmi Morso has at
last been performed on tho stage at
Now York. The characters represen
ted are Jesus, tho Virgin Mary, tho
High Priest, Joseph, Herod, Salome,
Herodias, tho Disciples, 1'ontius rilatc,
and others of that time. Tho scenes
represented wero tho Presentation in
tho Temple, tho Massacre of tho Inno
cents, Death of John the Baptist, Jesus
at tho Hrook of llobron, and tlio Uru-
clfia'ion. Tho play has been prevented
by tho police for a long time becauso of
alleged sacrilegious tendencies, but
from tho reports there was nothing of
tho kind bovond tho representation of
sacred characters on the stage.
Tho correspondent of an esteemed
contemporary m tho West has been
making a study of our nice, well-dress
ed President Ho concludes that tho
Prc-ddent's only constituency is "a
parcel of young, marriageable women
and an old society matron, who re
marks after tho President has gono
away, mat no mis not committea a sin-
gle mistake in point of etiquette during
tho evening." The conclusion is reach-
ed that tho government could stand
Jackson's clay plpo and Jefferson's
woolen socks, but it is questionable if
it will long retain much strength if it
is to bo dressed in a new bonnet

Perhaps thoy are expecting too much of
Mr. Arthur. It cannot bo expected that
when a man gives a great deal of timo
to tho cut of his trousers and tho color
of his button-holo bouquet that he
wants to bother about anything else,
Tho President's duty is to look pretty s
if ho succeeds in that ho has no timo to

A priost known as Brother Frank, at

evening, which was attended by
many distinguished men. Jiieutcnant
Governor Chaunoy F. Black delivered
an address, of which tho following is a
synopsis,
"I acknowledge Jeffersonlan Democ
racy as my hobby," said tho youthful
.Lieutenant tiovcrnor, as ho unfolded
tho manuscript of his elegant, eloquent
and highly ornamental address. Jeffer
son ho regarded as tho mo3t conspicu
ous champion of tho idea ot power do
rived irora tho people, and his aim was
to bring all government as near tho
source of power as possible. Opposed
to him was Hamilton who labored lor
a moro centralized representative gov
eminent. Washington's administra
tion, excepting in its external obser
vances was in acccordanco with tho Uem
ocratlo theory. It was under Adams
that the principles of Hamilton, a Gov
ernment with patronage enough to
control expression of popular will and
based on the idea that the people were
unfit to rule themselves, that distinct
departure was first mado from republi
can simplicity. Under it grew up tho
personal rule and bosslsm, tno principle
that to tho victor belongs tho spoils,
which has popularly boon attributed to
A.1!L. .!.. Tl HI..

Dcmocratio idea as represented in the
Republican party of tho day, over tho
vigilant sentinel of liberty, percoived
tho centralizing tendencies, and in 1879
elected Jefferson and compellod return
to Honest administration, cheap gov
ernment and republican simplicity,
Continuing in power through tho ad-
ministration of Madison, it became

Paternalism in governmentMr. Black
continued, was the natural enemy of
Jeffersonlan Demooraoy. It reached
its height when it sought to force its
representative into tho Wluto House
for a third term. Vulgar bosses, by vir
tue ol organization, controlled the na
tion in tho higher and lower helds of
adminutration. Expenses wcro swell
ed to increase tho corruption fund. A
banking system was inaugurated, which
furnished uniform currenoy and a plen
tiful contribution to tho treasury of tho
party in power. Looso interpretations
of the Constitution gave rise to mani

Alice Meaker was discovered by oner-

Tho atrocity of tho crimo aroused in-

TUB MEAKRR FtMIMT.
For a year previous to tho timo of

small, weather beaten tenement, the
Meaker family, comprising six persons.
Horace and Kraclino h. JUcaker wore
husband nnd wife, aged respectively
50 and 42 years. Louis Almon and
Nellia Meaker were son and daughter.
of 19 and 21 years of age. Tho family
wero poverty-stricken and unlettered.
