' Atanoittetr of the dead bedv : and the best
& fa rtnments for It are te be made from
the hygienic standpoint.
Ne one will dispute that if human
bodies had been burned instead of
buried for the past two or three
thousand years, a preposition te aban
don that method and te gire the
corpse ever te earth's mould and the
worms would encounter mere violent
opposition than cremation has met. Se
strong is the force of habit and the law
of custom that it may be expected the
cremation methods will encounter vio
lent popular prejudice and superstitious
horror. Against these,.however, nearly
every great sanitary innovation has con
tended, and every new departure has
been taken after superstition some
times confounded with religion had
made clamorous pretest. The example
of the celebrated Dr. Gress, new fol
lowed with tbe greeting et Dr. Ilam
mend te the Lancaster cromatlenlsts,
furnished eminent scientific authority
ter the new methods ; and Dr. Davis, in
his thoughtful discourse, full of sugges
tive facts, elaborates this phase of the
subject in a convincing manner.
The character of the men who, by pre
cept and example, here and elsewhere,
have sanctioned cremation, ought te be
sufficient answer te these who seek te
bring religious objections te bear against
It. Such arguments have net been
proved tenable, nor have they shown
warrant in Kevolatlen, though persisted
in with a zeal that often borders en
fanaticism. Considering hew many et the
church's martyrs perished at the stakr
and went te glory en wings of fire, it is a
little te be wondered at that nineteenth
century preachers have made their pul
pits the base of an attack en these mere
refined and quicker processes of bodily
dissolution. Since they have been the
most effective and determined opponents
of cremation, it is fortunate for the
movement here that one of its expo
nents, a Christian minister himself, of
piety and learning, should have essayed
te meet the sentimental objections. Rev.
Hark's address answers these completely
and leaves little te be said en that point.
When It shall seen have been deter
mined that cremation is the sanitary,
sensible and economical mode of dlspe
sing of the dead, and one after another
of these whom the community respect
for geed sense and geed meral3 yields te
and embraces the new method, it will be
forgotten or it will be remembered only
te be wondered nt that cremation was
ever opposed en sentimental or rellgleu8
grounds.
ltuslncss and Laber.
The business situation is a puzzle te
the ordinary observer, who sees that the
crops are geed and that money isa drug
en the banks of the buiines3 centres'
and wonders why under these conditions
business is net brisk. It ought te be, and
will be when confldence conquers timid
ity. There is no geed reason why busi
ness should be in its present condition,
and therefore the probability Is that it
will shortly emerge from it ; with slew
and staggering step3 perhaps, but yet
with a forward movement. The country
Is rich and growing. The cheapness
of production in it is being
daily increased. The skill of our work
men and the labor saving products of
our ingenuity, give us a great advantage
ever ether countries in manufacturing
industry, which offsets the cheapness of
their wages. The cheapness of labor and
of wages are two very different things.
Laber nt two dollars a day may be
cheaper than labor at one, and the labor
of machinery is cheaper than that of
hands. The mixture of races In this
country, the democratic freedom nnd
equality, the reward wen by inventive
endeavor, and the opportunity offered
for energetic and intelligent ef
fort make our peeple the
foremost lit the world In the
field of labor. Laber will prosper
here when it does nnywhere, nnd
It is certain that at thl3 early period in
the growth et the -country there can
come no long halt In its prosperity. We
expect te eoe speedily n renewal of
profitable Industry. We de net expect
te see seen a return of the high prices of
railroad stocks, which were produced by
speculation and manipulation and never
were justified by the legitimate earnings
et the reads. But we have use ter all
our railroads, and it will net be long
before we will want many mere miles of
track. Railroad tracks will net cease
te extend until every acre of land is
within easy reach of them. If enr Leg
islature will but see te it in the future
that no unnecessary tax is put upon our
industries by the extravagant and spee
ulative cost of the new rails that are laid
down, we will escape hereafter the
injuries that these prematura schemes
have caused aud one great cause of finan
clal convulsion will be removed. It is a
misfortune that these heavy upsnnd
downs In business prosperity should
overtake the country be often, nnd it
should be the careet the Legislature te
avoid them.
The recent re-elections of Senater
Jes. E. Brown, of Georgia, nnd et J. L.
Pugh, of Alabama, by substantially the
unanimous votes of their state Legisla
tures, is another evidence that the
Seuth Is returning te the practice which
ave it such great political Btrength
before the war, et keeping trained and
. tried men in public position. The
miserable "rotation" eystem, which
.j prevails in the North, and which be
often strikes down a man of premise at
the outset of a useful career, has gained
little influence in the Seuth. Men like
Alexander II. Stephens, Randelph
Tucker, Wnde Ilampten nnd Sennter
Lamar held" their rlaces without an
apparent effort and although J. 1'roo 1'reo 1'roe
tor Knett had thirteen counties in his
congressional district his renomlnatien
never awakened nny dissenting shrieks
et locality. As a result the Southern
representatives beceme conspicuous and
Influential aud that section largely makes
up the disproportion it suffers in numeri
cal representation.
Ir yen wish te bet en a certainty, wager
that Cleveland will make a geed presi
dent. The charge agalust cremation that it
U a dangerous novelty was oneo made
against steam engines.
Fen theso who de net believe that cro cre cro
matien far surpasses enrtli-buri.il ns a
method of disposing of the remains of the
dead, the Miegostien is offered that they
try both nnd give an anxious publie their
views thereon.
Puize nenTixa in New Yerk has been
knocked out. It was hit a cruel blew ba ba
lew the belt by Judge Barrett and the
New Yerk grand jury. The arrest of Sul
livan and UreenQeld for hitting oaeh ether
tee hard a week age has caused the kings
of the prize ring te be very wary of thelr
blows. Consequently when the mtieh
advertised set te between Mitchell and
Dnrke, In Madisen Square Garden took
place, en Monday night, the exhibition was
most miserably tame, and was witnessed
by only 600 persons. Time was when
0,000 spectators were mere easily gathered.
When prize fighters tap eaeh ether play
fully, as the law requires, the gore
thirsting audience becomes tboreagbly
permeated with disgust. The deprivation
of the power te hit hard has shorn spar
ring contests et thalr popularity. Leng
may this state of affairs oentiuuo.
At the recant oleetion In New Yerk
there was an important amendment te the
constitution of the state passed, whieh was
somewhat overshadowed by the national
result in the Empire state. It prohibited
cities having a population of 100,000 and
ever from indebtedness In excess of 10 pur
esnt. et the assessed value of the property
within their limits, and restricting their
tax rata te a oertain figure. The propesi
tien was voted en with the result that
493,033 votes were cast in favor of the
amendment te 10,301 against It. It Is
passing strange that a prevision of this
kind was net sooner incorporated Inte the
state constitution of enr great neighbor
state te the north. In Pennsylvania the
debt of net even a school district may ox ex ox
eeed seven per cent, of the assessed value
of the taxables, and, except in a few
specified Instances, no rnunieipality may
incur any new debt or luorea?o Its in
debtedness two per cent, en its assessed
value without the assent of the elaoters at
a publie elcstien. But New Yerk has
made a start, and if it desires te get
a few pointers in its progress, it might
profitably turn its eyes te Pennsylvania.

CLEVELAND AND THE YilCXOEU DEMO

Ex-Senater Gwvn. of Washington.
better known as "Duke" Gwyn, has just
returned from a visit te the president-elect.
Mr. Cleveland was very deoided in saying
that the future et the Democratic party
largely depended upon its taking a new
departure en many questions that were
doubtful and experimental thirty or forty
years aze. While net specifying any spe
etal questions he took the ground tht the
wants of the country were se different
from what they were in the Domeor.vio
days, that it would be the duty of the
party te adept Itself te the new condition
of thing-i. On the subject of his cabinet
he said that, se far as its individual char
acter was concerned, he had net given it
any oensiuerat en, prelerring te wait and
hear tbe views of the representative meu
of bis party. He was very decided, hew-
ever, in saying that he had great faith in
the yenug and progressive material of his
party, and indicated that he would draw
rather largely from it in making up his
cabinet.

keep down all the weeds, nnd then in the

Last evening Themas Eaten and J. S.
Price, of Baltimore county, Maryland, ar
rived In this city In search of a pair of
stolen horses and thieves. It appears that
en Saturday night two small black mares
were taken from a stable at Quaker Bettem,
Baltimore county. One of the animals be
longed te Mr. Price and the ethor te Thea.
Eaten. After stealing the horses the
thieves redo them eight miles te the resi
dence of Peter Enzcr, at Parktown, whero
they stela a buggy, almost new. They
hitched the horses te the vehicle and started
towards this county. After tbe theft be
came known a party started In pursuit of
tbe floelng thieves. They tracked them te
Shcnk's Ferry, where they crossed tbe river
before neon en Sunday. There were two
men in charge ofHhe team; ene was a very
large fellow and tbe ether was somewhat
smaller, but of stout build. The large man
seemed te be acquainted at the ferry and
snoke in familiar terms te the boatman.
Peeple residing there state that he often
cresses the river with horses in his posses
sion. The men stepped at the hotel en the
ether side. They stated that they had bor
rowed ene of the horses, which seemed
greatly fatigued, and they would net feed
there. Frem the ferry tbe team was traced
directly te this city.
The parties stepped at the Serrel Herso
hotel, en West King streer, about 4 o'clock.
They had the horses fcd-iind remained lu
town uutll 12 o'elock at night, when the
storm had subsided,. Upen leaving they
said they were going te Philadelphia. The
team was scen ou the streets In this city by
a number of persons who say tbat It tallied
exactly with the descriptions given. Since
Sunday night nothing has been learned of
the stolen property or thieves, and It is net
known what reute was taken by the thieves
from this city. It is believed by many that
the horses were cither disposed of in this
county or the thieves were rapidly making
their way te a market. One of the stolen
horses was 5 years old and the ether G,
One Is somewhat smaller than the ether.
One has a white scar en tbe left flank and
the ether tins a star en the forehead.
Messrs. Eaten aud Price will continue their
pursuit of the tblevcs.
