CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18,
THE INSOLENCE OF OFFICE.
Hamlet, the philosophlo Dane, do
se ri bod the "Insolence of office" with
the oppressor' wronu. the law' do-
lays, and the spurns that patient morit
of the unworthy tukos, as among the
evns too intolerable to be borne by a
proua spirit, nut Snnkspeare son
silive hero bad little experience of
thai bloated and swaggering insolenco
of office that prevails in the present
generation, or no would not have hesi
tated long abont making bis quietus
with a bure bodkin. The pertnes of
tho minions who basked in the sun
shine of royal favor, 'or the snpercili.
ousneaa of mtuiaur, wo per hup the
utmost of the evil that be full. But
what was that in comparison with
the official insolenco which is witness
ed this day in n free commonwealth ?
A number of distinguished Republi
cans in tbo oxercise of thoir rights ob
citixens saw proper to protest aguinst
tho corruption and arrogance ot the
combination that controls the State,
at tho recent election. Tbey usod no
moans to corrupt the ballot box.
Tbey hired no repeaters, imported no
colonist, bribed no voters, but earn
estly appealed to tho reason of thoir
fellow citizens in favor of a much
needed reformation of Rtato govern
ment. Ho sooner is tho election over
than the chief of this ring, occupying
tho position of Senator of tho United
States, rushes to Washington and de
mands vongennco agiinst all who
havo seen lit to protest nninst his
rulo. Curtin, Forney, Marshall, Hick
man, Grow, Kuno, liillingfelt, Hard
ing, Rutborford and others ure to bo
niudo experience the insolonoe of of
fice. Many of tlio in are private citi
zens who have never sought office,
and ro Indifferent alike to tbo frowns
and blandishments of power. Rut
nothing will be loft undone in the
effort to mako them feel the power of
t'onnsyivama s roaster.
Next come tho govornor elect
Scarcely has ho emorged from a con
test in which his official incapacity
has boon glaringly exposed, than be,
too, must put in exercise the insolence
of office. Exulting in a triumph ob
tained mainly through the grossest
frauds in tho Philadelphia paradise of
repeaters and ballot stutters, ho tolls
tho Republican citizens who would
not vote for tbo fellow-conspirator of
George O. Evan that thry must go
to tho rear and repent. The gover
nor elect of Pennsylvania sets himself
up as a party drill sorgoart, and in an
exceedingly brief space shows to the
peoplo of tho Stato what a petty par
tisan administration they may oxpeel
from the successor of John Vt . Geary.
Following him we have Assossor Er
rolt, the chuirman of tbo Radical
Stato Central Committee, who gives a
coarse and characteristic exhibition of
what Hamlet meunt'liy the insolence
of official minions. 2so Republicans
who felt it A duty to oppoao tho eleo-
tion of llartranlt with bis load of
official derelictions (hall bo "permitted"
to make speeches for Grant "under
bis auspices." Chairmen of county
committees are also instructed to deny
them the exquisite privilege of spouk
ing for Grant. As a spcciul boon tbey
will be Bulfurod with 'bated brenth
and ponitontiul humbleness to cast
their silent ballots for the great Gift
Taker. Ho further liberty will be
granted thorn by Simon Cameron, the
soveroign lord and master of Penn
sylvania. Closely following after tbo
Assessor and Chairman, comes our
Harrisbtirg Postmaster, toiling under
his heavy freight of publio spoils.
He goes still further than Knelt, and
declares that tbo party will visit with
signal "punishmont those traitors or
"any one also who attempts to foist
"the renegades or give thorn any stand
ing in tho great Republican party."
Tho postmaster, in his official truuu
Icncy, will not oven allow standing
room for the "traitoit,"und mesnaccB
with vengenceany charitable inclined
Republican who shull harbor them in
futuro. Docs this official Insolence
soar so high a to threaten Grunt if
ho should tolerate any Republican
who opposed llartrnnfl and tho tingf
Whom ulso but Grant does this mean?
Winding np his tirade tho pnstniaslcr
exclaims, "Kick thorn out, und keep
"kicking thorn to prevent their com
"ing in again." lie would havo as
few shares as possiblo in tho official
plums which he imagines to have
been socured in the recent elections,
and snarls viciously at every one
whom be suspects of A desiro to divide.
After theso highflown demonstra
tions of the Insolence of ollleo, It Is
difficult to porsuade ourslvc that wo
still breath the air of a froo common
wealth. It is not enough that citizens
aro menaced with tho fiercest displeas
ure of tho combination that tulea tho
commonwonlth, hut they aro daily
mado the oiilocts ol tho vilest ana
most cowardly calttmios.' Most of
this malignity ia launched at Cm tin
and Forney, the most prominent Re
publican antagonists ol the ring
let Fornoy ha voluntarily resigned
more important ollloe than any of bit
revilers ever ocenpiod, that bo might
tho moro freely perform bis duty as a
journalist, snd Governor Curtin hns
filled with dignity nnd oredil, in a
period of grenl difficulty and embar
rassment, a station which not ono of
them conld occupy for half an hour
with decency. Tho malice and epito
which tho ring display aro In keeping
with tbo manner in which their vic
tory hns been achieved. What has
been won by fraud, corruption, and
yiolonco, is worn with thu insolonco
of vulgar, coarso, and conceited up
starts. Harrisburg Patriot.

Twenty Miles Heneatb a Locomotive ea a
- ( Night Kipreee.
The Kansas City Timet says s
Man's daring often assumes n phaso
of foolhardincss almost incredulous to
believe, and it appears at times as
though the present generation is eith
er becoming more brave or losa intel
ligent every day. Ono of tho most
singular incidents of foolhardiness
known to this soolion of tho country
transpired upon the Kausas Pacific
Railroad on last Saturday night. A
young man named Josiab T. Haigbt,
a native of and a recent arrival In this
city, fruia- Wacnlor, Ohio, afleri'fight
ing the tiger" in ono of our sporting
rooms on Saturday night, found him
self "brokon," without even so much
as sufficient to pity hi hotel bill.
After wandoring around the city all
day on Sunday, he conceived tho idea
of endeavoring to roacli Topeka, Kan
sas, by stealing a ride upon tho Kan
sas Pacific night express. With this
intention, he partook of n hoarty sup
per at bis hotel near tho Unioh depot,
wrapped himself up a warmly as
possiblo, and started out to walk to
Armstrong station, two miles wost of
Kansas City. There, while the train
was stopped, be crawled upon tho
pilot of the Icy locomotive and crouch
ed down upon the trucks beneuth the
smokobox. Tho train movod on at a
rapid rale, the cold, bitter winter's
wind swept keenly and piercing
through lluighl's clothing, chilling
him to tho marrow. Ho soon discov
ered that he must inovitubly frcczo to
death in hi prosont uncomfortable
condition, but there was no escapo.

The Roaaanian Jewi-The Colonin-
tion Scheme.
As announced iu tbo Herald of the
2d, a lottcr bus been reoeived at tho
General Land Office, in Washington,
to tho effect that a movemonl is on
foot, the object of which fe to setllo a
colony of Roumanlun and Continental
Jew iu Ihe United State. Jt appears
that a company bus been organized lo
oncournge und superintend tho exodus.
Tho company is in possession of a
paid-up capital of ono million five,
hundred thousand dollars, ft is in.
tended to settle in this country some '
oight thousand fumilios, numbering in
all nol fuwor than forty thousand por.
sons. Tho question, as prcsonlod to
tho Land Office, is whether tbo United
Stales govornmont will extend to tbo
company a tillo lo a truct of land
say two hundred and fifty thousand '
acres it boing tbe intention of tho
company to form a distinct and sepa
rate souluuiont, oomposod entirely of
tho sons und daughters of Israel. The
answer given by the Acting Commis
sioner is that there is no luw provid
ing for such a disposal of the publio
lands.
Tbo whole question thus oponod up
is of large scope and of deep and gen
eral interest. Tbo condition of the
Israelite in Eastern F'uropo haa long
been a icundul to tho civilized nation.
Latterly th Irouimont to which they
have been subjected in the Dannbiun
Principalities bus recalled the mem
ory of tbe Dark Ages, when they were
looked upon as tbo enemies at once of
God and man, and whon Christian
governments, so called, considered it
first their privilego to rob them and
then their duty lo tort uro and destroy
thorn. Wo can conccivo of no moro
harrowing record of human suffering
than would bo a history of tho perse
cution of the Jews. In Spain, in the
days of Ferdinand and Isabella, tbo
Culbolics, a decrco wrts itsocd expel
ling from Spanish territory every Jew
who refused to deny bis faith and de
clare himself a Chiisiian ; and thi
harsh docroo was rigorously exocuted.
It was thon that tho Inquisition was
established In Spain ; and it is statod
on good authority that eight hundred
thousand Jews wero sent homelosa
und penniless into other lands. The
same merciless policy wus pursued by
tbo Emperor Cliarlca tbo Filth, who
wa Emperor of Germany and niastor
of large sections of Italy ns well us
King of Spain. Fleo whilhor ho
might, the poor Jew could tiud uoilbcr
botue nor friond. The position of tbo
son of Abraham wus not ono whit
more comfortable in Franco; and
every reader of history remember
how in England the bidden treasures
of the provident but persecuted race
wcro discovered by llie cruel process
of plucking out thoir tooth. Th
French Revolution and tbe decree of
tho Fiist Napoleon were great gains
to the Jewish people. Sinco then thoir
condition has been greatly improved
iu all the groat nations of tho Old
World; and in Franco, in Great Brit,
iun and throughout Germany the sons
of tho long down-trodden peoplo havo
distinguished themselves in nil tho
learned professions, winning high,
places as statesmen and philosophers,
and distancing ull competitors as mas
tors of finance. In Eastern Europe,
however, and particularly ulong tho
line of tbe Danube, ihey have remain
ed in their originally wretched condi
tion as an outcast and accursed race.
It was only on Wednesday lu.it that,
in tbo Lower House of tho Servian
Parliament, a motion was- wilb diffi
culty rejected providing for tho exclu
sion of Hebrew from tne landwehr
service. With tbo cruel treulmcut of
the Jews iu Roumunia, and with tbo
indignant remonstrances which havo
been addrcssod to the government of
Prince Charles by tho government of
the United Slate and by ail tho load
ing govtrnmonU of Europe, our read,
ers nro too familiar to permit us ta
enter into details. The wondor is.
that the Israelite in those somi-bnr-barous
regions manage lo maintain
his existence. All things considered,
wo wonder not at all that the wealth
ier and more comfortable of the race
should seek in somo final and satisfac
tory way to mako an end of all this,
suffering und sorrow.
It is impossible for us to wrilo in
Otbor than terms of approvnl of tho
company which has been formed foe
the purpose of affordinir relief to tho
suffering brethren of Itou mania and
othor parts of Europo. That tbey
should havo thought of tho United
Stales as tho Promised Land for the
children of their proposed ffew exodus
was not unnatural. In theso United;
Stales tho Jow lias literally found luo
Land of Promise, tho land of the vino
and tbo fig and the pomegrunuto a
land flowing with milk and honey.
But it must bo admitted that this
country is suited to the Jow, it is, on
tho othor hand, undeniable that Ibe
Jow is nol unstiiicd to the country.
If bo gels ho gives. If ho hns found a
homo he has sought to improve thai
home and adorn it. We have no moro
prosperous citizens ; but to thorn pros,
pcrily dues not como as tbo roward of
indolence and case. In all our lurgo
cities, and in utmost evory department,
of trado, they aro to bo found among
our most aclivo Dusinos men. Hono
of our citizens are more peaooful and
law-abiding. Of all the nationalities
they aro tlio most ouiofu.1 of and kind
to each othor. Seldom is a Jew found
in our prisons; and when they are)
poor Ihey nro no cost 16 tho commu
nity. Most of our large ulliei owe
much of their beuuly to Jewish toslo
and Jewish weullh. Their residence
uro built and mnintninod on a scale of
princely mugnificenco ; and their syn.
ugogues, for (ymmotcry of strutuuro
und grnco of adornment, put into tho
shado our finest Christian temples.
It is no source of nm:i7.emont to us
thut Israelites in increasing number
should sock theso shores ; but wo bid
them como and wolcomo.
The colonization scheme, however,
we rati no I approve of. Il is not iu
harmony with tho spirit ol American
institutions; nor could it bo advan
