Arciibishop Gthboxs, of Baltimore,
on Tuesday laal received an official com
munication from Ihme dated May 6,
informing him of his elevation to the
Cardinalate by Tope Leo XIII.
According to the New York papers
ex-Tresldent Arthur's condition baa
been steadily growiDg worse during the
past two weeks, and there are few who
believe that he will ever again leave his
lionst alive.
Tni Congressional Committee, of
which ex-Governor Curtin is Chairman,
arpointod to investigate the labor trou
bles on Jay Gould's railroad system in
the Sohthwest, returned to Washington
at the close of last week. The testimo
ny of more than four hundred witnesses
was taken In the four States of Mis
souri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas, at
various points between St. Louis and
Galveston. The report of the Com
mittee will not be ready to submit to
the House for some time yet.
Alderman Hhnry W. Jaehke, of
New York, has been fonnd guilty of
having taken a bribe of f 20,000 for his
vote In favor of the Broadway railroad
franchise In 1&S4. He wai .convicted
by his own admissions touching the
bribery which were gradually; wormed
out of him by Inspector Byrne, of the
New York Police Department. Fifteen
or more other Alderman are nndsr bail
charged with the same offense at the
same time, whose trials will be proceed
ed with without any unnecessary delay.
Tns nomination of Mrs. Virginia
Thompson to be Postmistress at Louis
ville, lo which we referred on a former
occasion, and which has produced a bit
ter warfare among the Democrats of
that city, was taken up in the Senate on
Monday last and confirmed, only six
voles being cast In the negative. Sena
tor Joe Blackburn made a lengthy
speech against Mrs. Thompson's con
firmation, and his colleague, Mr. Beck,
spoke eloquently In Its favor. The vote
shows that the Senate was "not for
Joe" by a large majority.
TriE New York Tribune, which
assumes to be the keeper of all the loy
alty there Is in this country, and which
Is in a state of perpetual alarm lest
some Union soldier shall be nnfairly
treated, has a contemptible attack on
Gen. Black, Commissioner of Tensions,
in nearly every issue. Black draws a
pension, Is a Democrat and an office
holder. If he had been a bounty-Jumper
and was a Republican he would be a pa
triot in the eyes of the Tribune, whose
editor took care not to expose him9elf to
Southern bullets.
TnB Mexican pension bill which
passed the IIouso some time ago was
postponed Indefinitely by the Senate
committee on pensions on last Tuesday,
and in lien thereof the committee agreed
to report the first seven sections of the
bill Introduced In December last by
Senator Mitchell, of this State. These
are stated to be substantially the Mexi
can pension bill passed by the Senate at
the last Session, the exact provisions of
which wa do not now remember, but
will be able to give them next week
after we have seen the new bill.
FIon. Georse A. Jkmks, of Brook
vllle, Jefferson county, this State, who
was appointed Assistant Secretary of the
Interior by TrMdent Cleveland, resigned
his office last week. lie did so in order
to become the counsel at 110,000 per
annum, of John E. Dubois, the young
nephew of the late John Dubois, the
wealthy Pennsylvania lumberman, to
whom the latter executed a deed for all
his property valued at over Ave million
of dollars. Mr. Jenks had long been
the legal adviser of John Dnbois and
enjoyed his entire confidence. He is a
very able lawyer and a gentleman of the
highest personal character. His salary
as Assistant Secretary was $4,000.
Tn cable telegraph announced on
Monday that Queen Christina, of Spain,
had given birth to a son-the heir to the
Spanish throne. The event was an
nounced to the people of Madrid by the
Toyal Standard being hoisted on the
palace, and by firing a salute of twenty
one guns, nad the child been a girl a
white flag would have been displayed
and fifteen instead of twenty-one guns
fired. The young King of Spain, Al
fonso, who died last November, was
manied in 1879. The front name of the
Queen is the Archduchess Marie-Chris-tlna-Desiree-IIenrietta-Felicite-Reniere
daughter of the Archduke Charles Fer
dinand of Austria. "What a long tail

They will also consider the case of Louis
Lingg who was arrested on Friday last
after a fierce struggle with two police
tnen who undertook to capture him. He
is believed lo be the man who threw
the dynamite bomb into the ranks of the
police on the night of May 4, the explo
elou of which killed fire of their number
and wounded more than a score of theii
comrades. Lingg is a carpenter by
trade, baa only been in the country
about eight n: oaths and has been
one of the most prominent speakers at
the meetings of the radical Socialists.
In the second volume of his history,
General Grant says of Stanton : "Stan
ton was very timid. And whenever an
attempt was made to defeud Washing
ton by an aggressive movement on Rich
mond bis timidity made It impossible
for him not to Interfere. He could see
our weakness, butJie could not see that
the enemy was in danger. The enemy
weuld not have been in danger had Mr.
btanton been in the field." This Is In
teresting, not only as Grant's opinion of
Stantor, but m a confirmation of the
claim made by General MeClellac and
his friends that It was Stanton's timid
ity and liiterfererce (seen In his con
stant depletion of McClellan's forces to
defend Washington) that turned the
peninsular campaign, which had prom
ised to be successful, into a miserable
Western cyclones follow each other
rapidly and with wide spread destruc
tion of life and property. The most dis
astrous visitation of toe kind in the his
tory of Ohio swept through five of the
Northwestern counties of that State late
! on last Friday night, carrying death
, and destruction In its path. Starting
! somewhere in Indiana it entered Mercer
county, Ohio, and pursuing a North
easterly direction, it cut a swarth a
quarter of a mile wide through that
j county passing on through Auglaize
county, and thence through a corner of
j Allen county into Hardin, Wyandotte
and Seneca counties. The section of
country through which it passed is one
of the richest agricultural portions of
the State and Is highly improved. The
full extent of the casualties Is not yet
accurately known, but it is certain that
the nuuobei of lives lost will reach fully
one hundred, while the loss in houses,
barns, live stock and other property will
aggregate a fearful amount. The Legis
lature of Ohio being in session the people
in some of the counties through which
the tornado passed appealed to it for aid
and assistance, and bills for that pur
pose were promptly passed by the two
houses.
The Tory papers of London, whose
editors neyer disguise their hatred of
Ireland and the Irish, are attempting
to manufacture capital In England
against Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule bill
for Ireland, by holding the Irishmen of
Chicago responsible for the recent kill
ing of several policemen in that city by
the throwing of a dynamite bomb in
their midst when they were marching
past a Socialist meeting which they
were sent to disperse. No baser or
more groundless slander against the
Irishmen of Chicago ever was uttered.
They had nothing whatever to do with
the murderous attack upon the police,
which was the work of European An
archists who for years have been en
gaged In making war upon the peace
and security of society In that city, as
well as in other American cities
in which their destructive doctrines
have been taught by a set of scoundrels
who left their country for their coun
try's good. None of these Chicago
apostles of social revolution have any
Irish blood in their veins. August
Spies, their leader. Is a Hessian. Sam
Fielding, the most blatant and windy
orator at their Sunday meetings, Is an
Englishman of the lowest class. Par
sons, who Is prooably the greatest tcoou
drel of the lot, Is a son of the ex-Confederate
General Parsons. Michael
Schwab, associate editor of Spies' pa
per, the "Arbeiter Zeituug," the organ
of the Anarchists, Is a Prussian, and a
riffraff of smaller leaders are Bohemian
with here and there a Dane or a Pole.
No Irishnun figures among the would
be subverters in Chicago of American
civilization. The Irish hsve sins
enough of their own to answer for, but.
of Anarchism, the blackest of all, they
are guiltless.
TnH Supreme Court of this State
rendered a decision at Philadelphia on
Monday last which declares that the act
of Assembly of 1SS1, which prohibits
the commission of frauds at primary
elections and nominating conventions,
is an election law of the Commonwealth
and that its violation in the manner re
ferred to I a sufficient cause of disquali
fication for office. The question was
raised against John Leonard, a Com
missioner of Schnylklll county, by a
writ of cpio cnrranto. Issued at the In
stance of Attorney General Cassldy, by
which Leonard was reqnired to show by
what authority he held and exercised
the dntles of that office. T.pnnnrd iraa
a Republican candidate for the office of
county Commissioner at the November
election fn 1RS4, and was returned
elected by a large majority. It was
cnarged against him that while a candi
date he was guilty of bribery, fraud and
wilful violation of the election law.
The evidence at his trial showed that he
had secured the votes of several dele
gates to the nominating convention by
the lavish dispensation of official patron
age, as had been frequently done before.
The Court of Schuylkill county, before
which Leonard was convicted, ousted
him from his office and an appeal was
taken by him to the Supreme Court. It
was contended in his behalf that the Act
of Assembly In question was clearly un
constitutional ; that he was not a can
didate within the meaning of the Con
stitution at the time the alleged fraud
was committed, and that the Act of
1881 was not an Election law within the
meaning of the Constitution. The
opinion of the Supreme Court affirms
the Judgment of the lower conrt and
directs the writ of ouster against Leon
ard to issue.
The Republicans in the State Senate
of Ohio having secured a majority In
that body in the maner stated by us last
week, and having obtained complete
control of the nouse at the begining of
the Bession by turning out nine Demo
cratic members, from Cincinnati and
admitting nine Republicans from that
city, have been rushing through their
partisan schemes at railroad speed. As
soon last week as the machine was in
good running order the Senate put thro'
a new Congressional Apportionment bill
which will give them Seventeen members
and the Democrats four. The present
delegation stands eleven Republicans to
ten Democrats. The Democrats will
probably disregard this action of the
legislature in redistrictlng the State
and will make nominations for Congress
men to be elected next November, in
the districts as they now are claiming
that the present Legislature is not
clothed with legal authority to appor
tion the State. This practice of gerry
mandering a State whenever a political
party gains control of its Legislature
has been resorted to an former occasions
in some other States. The Democrats
did it several years ago in Missouri and
both parties afterwards did the same
thing in Indiana. It is all wrong, but
it will continue to be done until Con
gress puts a stop to It by declaring that
not more than one apportionment of a
State in Congressional districts -hail k
made by the Legislature during the next
Un years after a census has been taken.
Congress always means this when it i
axes tbe ratio of representation under a
new census, but selfish and grasping
politicians in a State Legislature diere-
gard it whenever party necessity, as they
call it, requires a new distribution of
political power. It has been a crying
evil and a monstrous exercise of the
doctrine that might make right, and
when the proper time- comes Congress
ought to see to it that this Ohio per
formance shall be the last of iU kind.
Ill Considered Strikes.
The events of the last three mouths
have given Mr. Powderly some very
pointed Illustrations wherewith to en
force the recommendations he will pre
sent to the General Assembly of the
Knights of Labor soon to be held in
Cleveland. The sum of his advice is
that no demands are to be made which
are not just, and that strikes are to be
regarded as a last resort, only to be un
dertaken when all other means have
failed. So far as his own order is con
cerned Mr. Powderly will insist that
strikes are not to be inaugurated until
the questions in dispute have been sub
mitted to and pronounced upon by offi
cers of experience and good judgment
within the organization. No friend of
the workingmen can view without re
gret the failures and losses which havo
recently been incurred by them through
want of proper counsel, and all well
wishers must hope that there may be
less waste of strength in the future.
"Thrice is he armed who hath his
quarrel just." When there Is unques
tionable cause for a strike it is reason
ably sure to succeed, and conversely,
when the cause is not sound the strike
is generally sure to fail. The Missouri
Pacific strike was a mistake, with the
result of keeping thousands of strikers
out of employment for two months,
many of whom lost their places alto
gether ; throwing thousands of others
into enforced idleness, sacrificing lives
and despoiling property ; and at the end
came utter defeat, with the added cen
sure of innocent sufferers, not soon to
be effaced. In the Third avenue strike
in this city hundreds of men became idle,
the fund of wage-earners was consumed
needlessly, thousands of people were
more or less inconvenienced and the sit
uation is now resolved into a crusading
boycott. In the case of the sugar re
finers In Brooklyn virtually the same
story is told loss of wages and, on the
part of many, of situations ; rioting,
imprisonments and failure. The price
of sugar was increased, and some grades
were not to be had for a time at all.
And now the failure of the Indianapolis
switchmen's strike is announced.
The aggregate loss of earnings that
will accrue from the eight-hour move
ment cannot easily be estimated. In
some few instances the conditions have
Insured success, bnt in the vast majority
of cases there will be nothing gained.
Already large numbers of men have seen
their mistake and resumed work, some
with partial concessions, others with
none at all. It should be noticed that
none of the unwise strikes and conse
quent losses would have occnred If the
advice of the true leaders of the work
ingmen had been followed. Surely there
ought to b w?sdnm gained from these
late occurrences which can pi event sim
iler expensive errors in th future and
strengthen the cause of Labor in the
effort to acquire its full share of the re
sults of its union with Capital. X. Y.

Herr Most and His Tribe.
nerr Most, the leader of the murder
ous anarchists who infest several of the
leading cities of the Union, and who has
been hiding from justice In this country
for some weeks, as he has long been
hiding fiom justice abroad, was arrested
in New York on Tuesday night, and
logically in a disreputable bouse and in
the guardianship of a courtesan. A
search of his room, after he had been
jerked out from under the bed where he
had attempted to hide, disclosed numer
ous books on the use of dynamite, show
ing that, between his amours, he studied
only the methods and appliances of an
archy and murder.
Herr Most was arrested for publicly
inciting to riot. Like all of his coward
ly tribe, he brandished his rifle when ad
dressing the Workingmen '8 Rifle Club,
yelling "Down with thf police," and
hastily hid from danger while his delud
ed followers were expected to inaugurate
the anarchy and murder he wished but
in which he had not the courage to lead.
Having inflamed his followers to law
lessness, he skulked away to his brothel
to waste the money he extorted from
labor on beastly debauchery. He is a
true type of the foreign anarchists who
have been fomenting labor disturbances
to mislead working men into crime as a
cover to them in rapine and death.
While no public necessity can excuse
any departure from the settled policy of
the law to reach exceptional criminals
In a government founded in the liberty
of law, the cases of the foreign anar
chists and murderers now under arrest
for crimes against both persons and
property, should be prosecuted to the
uttermost and the extreme measure of
legal punishment Inflicted upon them.
When they are proven accessories to
murder, as in Chicago, they should be
tried and executed as promptly as the
proper administration of justice will
permit; and where they have failed in
intended murder, as in New York, but
are guilty of inciting to riot, they should
be speedily convicted, imprisoned to
hard labor, and thereby taught their
first lesson in honest work. The only
possible way that any of these foreign
anarchists can be made to work, is to
put them in prison ; and the law against
inciting to riot should be rigidly en
forced until these brawling, cowardly
criminals are driven from the land.
TV hat SadalltJei Are.
The word sodality signifies a society,
but it is generally applied to Catholic
societies having for their object the
spiritual advancement of their members.
The sodality, like many other great in
stitntions of the Catholic church, origi
nated in a young men's religious gath
ering at Rome, but to-day it embraces,
in separate societies, married men's
sodalities, married ladies' sodalities,
yonng ladles' sodalities and young men's
sodalities. Though existiEg as separate
societies, they are all partakers of the
communion of spiritual benefits derived
from membership of the entire amalga
mated sodalities the world over, but
this is subject to the condition of affili
ation with the original sodality, or
Prima Pnmarta, at Rome. The sodality
is the largest society under the agls of
the Catholic church, and In every land
is fostered zealously by the clergy so
that to-day hundreds of thousands are
numbered in its ranks. Nearly all of
the Catholic churches of Boston have
sodalities, which are separated accord
ing to age and sex, the young men's
sodalities proving by their vitality that
it is the only society which can attract
the young men permanently to church
affairs.
The sodality is not a "benefit" associa
tion in the usual interpretation of the
word. It is simply develiocal, and in
tended to keep alive the spirit of reli
gion in the young man or young woman
after leaving Sunday school, neverthe
less, they often engage in puplic enter
prises for some deserving object. The
mod of election in sodalities is quite
limited, the council or officers of the
society being invested with the power of
choosing their successors; but sodalists
never mind snch affairs as they consider
the sodality a society where individuals
are not to seek preferment, but labor in
its cause. The meetings are held once
a week for about one hour, when the
members are addressed by the reverend
director. Boston Herald.
Tie President's Domestic Affairs.
Some of the newspapers are trying to
make it appear that Mr. Cleveland is
guilty of great social offending because
he does not tell them and the world
whether or not he is going to marry Miss
Folsom. They represent him as putting
her In a very awkward position ; for
they considerately say, what a terrible
mortification she will suffer and how
she will be compromised if, after all the
talk, she fails to become a White House
bride I It is notable that the news
papers which have been least considerate
cf Miss Folsom's feelings and least re
gardful of the president's right to
privacy about his private affairs, are the
most distressed about thts lasc phase of
gossip. They would doubtless give a
big price to get "exclusive" informa
tion on the subject ; whereas they do
not like to venture too near the toe of
the White nouse boot in search of it.
The president is under no obligation
to break the reserve which he has thus
far kept on this purely personal and pri
vate matter. He is in no way responsi
ble for any of these reports; some of bis
relatives and more of hers have talked
a good deal ; and probably most that
has been ascribed to them is the inven
tion of the news-mongers. It is their
way.
The president rightly complains that
he has not the right of a private citizen;
some of them, of course, he cannot ex
pect to have; but the one inalienable
privilege, which neither the constitu
tion nor the newspapers can take away
from him, is to marry whom and when
and how bis fancy pleases and his judg
ment approves; and be is under no obli
gation to submit his programme in ad
vance. Ixineiister htiellvjettctr.
Charges Against a Judge.
The work of attacking evil Influences
In political places seems to be spreading,
from the reports that are heard concern
irg the charges of brlbary and corrup
tion apainst Judcre Wilson, of the Clarion-Jefferson
district. A legal test of
the charges is to be made, it is said, by
a general information, that will be pre
sented to the Attorney General, as a ba
sis for him to apply for a writ of quo
warranto from the Supreme Court.
Upon the charges that this Judge used
improper methods In his political can
vass, it is hard to see how any other
course than applying for such proceed
ings couH be taken. The vital point
Is. of course., as to the truth of the
charges, for the decision of which we
must wait for the evidence in the case.
But the bench should be placed above
even the suspicion of such practices ;
and until public opinion removes judicial
elections from the field of political In
fluences, the only way left is to have
such accusations promptly tested, to
punish the person If ho is guiltv. and to
vindicate him if innocent. Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
As the United States Is In the bands
of the railroad corporations, the land
monopolists do not tak on very much
agony about the land bills now before
Oongrpss. The Senate is their strong
hold. They feel safe, let the Honse do
what It has a mind to In regard to the
matter. It is estimated that if the Laiid
Grant Forfeiture bills now before Con
gress are passed there will be restored to
the public domain nearly if not quite
120.000.000 acres of land now wrongfully
withheld from the Government and the
people. A majority of the measures for
recovering this immense domain have
been reported bv the House Committee
on Pnbltc Lands, and all of them shonld
be passed by that body before this present
session closses. As we have already in
timated, the railroad corporations which
have these lands in their possession are
entlreiy confident that the Senate will
stand by them in any emergency. Ad
mitting this to be true, the nouse still
has a fluty to perform which should not
be neglected, and if the Senate sees fit
to perpetuate the giprantle wronjr, upon
its own head let the maledictions of the
people rest.
Much unreasoning complaint Is made
that the present Congress is doing noth
ing. The merits of a Congress in these
times are best testtd by the bad meas
ures which it stifles, rather than !by the
good legislation which It accomplishes.
In this point of view the Forty-ninth
Congress is doing a great deal to com
mend it to th favorable judgment of
the country. On Tuesday trip Hennepin
Canal scheme was so badly crippled that
it will hardly again make Its appearance
in the House. The Eads Ship-railroad
project has gone by the board, and the
Tehnantepec Canal has not been able to
lift its head. The Blair Educational
bill, with Its gigantic appropriation of
seventy-seven million doUais. is vainiy
struggling to get through a committee
of the nonse. Thpre is a considerable
number of other jobs, great and small,
whose certain prospect of defeat attests
the spirit of the present Congrpss. What
enhances the merlt of the majority of
the nonse Is the fact that there is a par
tisan disposition In the Republican
minorty to promote bad jobs in order to
throw the responsibility on their oppon
ents. This was seen conspicuously on
Tuesday in the vote on the Hennepin
Canal bill. The great body of the Re
publicans voted to suspend the rules in
favor of theblll less from friendliness to
the Job than from a desire to help the
Democrats to swell the expend itdres of
the Government. This may be smart
partisanship. Dot it is bad statesmanship.
The people of this country are not so
dumb as not to know where to place the
responsibility for reckless and extrava
gant legislation. Philadelphia Jterord.
