An lMTBt.tKiKNUEii reporter talked with
Mr. Smith tbl morning and he aald he was

names te bis paper than Mentzer did and he
believed his vote In tbe ward wa nearly as

whom he baa every reason te believe did.
He bad been Informed that II he went te one

Jehn H. I.tedla, the representative of the
Antl-Corrupllen aedety, waaseen by an In.
ti:i.i.I(ik.N('kh reporter before the committee
met locenaldor the Sixth ward return. He
aald the committee would undoubtedly take
cegniztnee of the c'isrge tbat a fraudulent re
turn had been made In that ward. Whether
there would be any prosecutions will depend
upon the evidence In the case. He concluded
the interviews by stating that be understood
tbe candidates agreed te let tbe ward be
counted bemuse It did net allect them, with
theexeeptlen of Jacobs. Smith, but no mat
ter what the candidate agreed upon, It would
net bind the aatoelatlon or prevent prosecu

A CLAKIUH CALL FOB JVBTIVr.
The " Nsw Era " tMrnand Tbat the Antl Antl Antl
Corraptlen Association Shall Take Held
el the All.g.rt frauds.
Frem the New lira. May i).
Aa the Sew Kra announced at tbeepenlng
of tbe primary campaign, tbe only part tt
would take In the contest would be te use its
Influence te prevent, If possible, tbe usual
11 carnival et fraud," or, If tbat failed, te
Insist upon the detection and punishment of
the boedlers and return tinkers. We gave
timely warning of what we believed would
be tbe reault If our adviee was unheeded.
We favored tbe formation of tbe Itepubltean
Anti-Corrnptlen association ler the preven
tion, detection and punishment of fraud.
Tbey did all that was possible within their
limited means te prevent fraud by warning
candidates and electors of tbe consequences
of violating tbe law, but the " beat workers "
and boedlers only langbed a usual at such
altempta te secure a decent and honest pri
mary, and the reault Is that the party and the
county la again disgraced by a "carnival of
fraud " which haa probably never been ex
ceeded In tbe history of our primary elec
tions, and there la no lack et work ter the
Antl Corruption society te de if they are In
earnest and mean bualneav.
Tbe writer haa labored te tbe best of hi
ability for tbe peat thirty years te improve
the muralt et Republican politics in thl
county. He la free te say that tt baa been a
dlacoursgleg and sometimes a disgusting
business. When a victory ever a oerrupt
combination was achieved we were In doubt
whether tbat victory was net worse than a
defeat. In many instance the men who
played the role of reformers turned out te be
boedlers and fee-grabbers when In power. Se
tbat tbe last phase et tbe moral tone of the
party was no better than tbe former. But
tbe most discouraging result of our labors
waa tbe conviction that tbe people were satis
fied, or at least unwilling te take any practi
cal steps towards remedying tbe evil and
obliterating the disgrace. The beat
workers " and boedlers (and tbe terms are
almost synonymous) always came te the
front organization and equipped for the work.
Opposing combinations were formed, tbe
strength or whleh waa measured by the size
of tbe peel. An honest peer man, however
meritorious, had no chance nfsuoeess. W hen
tbe Exvrft or the ATeii; Kra undertook te
discriminate for the information of honest
voters tbe cry el "personal politics" and un
just discrimination wa rung through all
possible changes. The editor wa accused et
seeking tbe printing patronage et candidates
and even of selling bis editorial columns,
although that candidate or offielal never
lived who dared say we ever made the patron
age be might have te dispense a condition or
bis support, or that we ever asked blm for It.
We have always acted upon tbe principle test
a jeurnsl which cannot live without depend
ing upon official patronage deserves te d Itv
Experience end observation finally led u
te the conclusion that these annual or trien
nial "carnivals of fraud" could net be stepped
until an example waa made of tbe guilty.
Tbe developments or Saturday last oenflnn

we coampienea no esnaiaaie. w e care net
whether the blew of Justice felU upon per

A number or farmers have set eat their

geed rain this week, whleh Is premised by
"Old Probabilities, millions et plants will be
est out, Tee plants are In flee oenflltlon and
they are plenty of them en almost every

Se far as we can learn the proportion of
seed leaf te be planted this year wUl be
larger than that of last year, net that it is
mere profitable than Havana aeed, but be be
oause It Is mere easily handled, lee liable te
damage, and the buyers "for once" gobbled
It up te tbe neglect of Havana eeed. We are
net yet convinced tbat It U wle te abandon
the cultivation or Havana aeed. When it la
geed It is very geed and all tbat 1 needed,
probably, I a better knowledge or the proper
mode of growleg and curing It.
Our Wakefield correspondent writes as
fellows : During the Isit two weeka your
correspondent has had occasion te visit the
principal part of the entire Lewer End, and
through careful Investigation has found that
some of the largest and best lets of tobaceo
raised last season are still held by the pro
ducer, including both Havens and aeed leaf.
Upen Inquiry for the reason why this large
amount was held, it waa etated tbat it waa
principally attributed te the newspapers,
which they claimed advised them te de se,
and also advocated tbat tobaceo would be In
greater demand and bring higher figures per
pound, especially Havana. Many farmers
state tbat tbey have been offered during the
early buying aeeaen as high as 22, Sand 5c
per pound ler their tobaceo by the buyers,
snd claim tbat through the advice and re re
petts or their weekly newspapers tbey have
been greatly misled this aesssn. The buyers,
it Is claimed, during tbe laat week have
taken advantage of tbl golden opportunity.
In reply te tbe above we can only say that
If farmera of the Lewer End or any ether
part et tbe county were offered 22, S and 6 for
their tobacco and didn't aell It they were very
foolish. Tbe Imtki.i.kiknckh certainly
never advised them te bold en for aa high
figures aa tbe abevr. We have aald, and
repeat It here, tbat eery pound of geed 'SO
Havana seed in the county la wanted by the
dealers and may be sold at a living profit
before the 's7 crop Is ready te cut. Peer
tobacco will of course bring only peer prloea.

LANCASTER, PA., TUESDAY, MAY 24. 1887.
tbla la wise, bat we fall te see the point
While we would again strongly recommend
tbe growers te cultivate less tobaceo than
ever, and never place their whole depend
ence en a tobacco orep, we would advise
them te cultivate the crops needed upon the
farm, oern, potatoes and breedatufla. After
the planting of these plants then devote any
surplus manors te the tobaceo patch. We
should esrutnly raise Havana seed, nslng
oetton-seed sneal In quantities net less then
from 1,200 te 1,600 lbs, te tbe acre, and with
such aa amount of ashes and Urns as are nec
essary te secure a gloss and a geed barn.
Many or our glowers are baying the ash et
tbe oetton-seed hulls, as they are rich In
many kinds or salts that are supposed te add
a gloss te tbe leaf. There la no reason why
geed, fine Havana leaf should net bring geed
firleeaatany time. But for a dead, papery
eat there is no demand new, nor la there
1 1 kely ever te be. Se If we are going te grew
tobaceo let as grew the very best possible,
snd our opinion Is that it will command re
munerative prices. We have In mind a crop
of four acres grown by a neighbor who sold
his crop at 15a through, while bis neighbors
were glad te get from 10i te 12a. The quality
is attributed te the nee or oetton-seed meal In
connection with stable manure.
Bales in tbe valley have again been scatter

D J. S. Stsbr, Ph. D.
Kev. E. V. Gerhart, D. D , J. M. Tltze),
D. I)., G. W. Snyder and elders Christian
Gast and J. J. Nlssley, a committee ap
pointed te take respenalve action concerning
a " Declaration of the Heuse of Bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal church," made Oct.
20, 1S31, brought In the following significant
report, which was adopted :
A RKrORT SUBMITTED,
Te the declaration of the Heuse of Bishop
of the Pre t extant Episcopal church In council
assembled, October 20, 1SS0, en "the divisions
wblcb sflllct the Christian church," and "the
restoration of the ergsnlc unity" of the various
"Christian bodies of our land, the Lancaster
claasla or the Reformed eburcb in the United
States makes response briefly aa fellows :
1. Inasmuch aa tbe Reformed (German)
church bas for tbe last forty years been dep
recating the exclualveness and falae rivalry
eiumereniunrisuan oemmuuious, ana em
t)baslzlne the unity of tbe spirit In tbe bend
of peace, ahe new cannot but welcome with
thankful hearts tbla solemn overture te
" ether oemmunions" coming from an Influ
ential branch of the Protestant church.
2. Tbe obstacles In the way of the fulfil
ment of tbe prayer of our Lord "tbat they
may all be one" de net He no much In the
fact tbat tbe church exists new under differ
ent forms or orgsnlzttien, varying in the
type of doctrine, of worship, or of govern
ment, and in the sect-spirit which in viola
tion of the fundamental law et the love of
Jesus Christ array our Christian body
against another Christian body, or beget
mere or leas Indifference in each toward the
existence and growth of etherB who in essen
tial are equally faithful te the Head of the
kingdom. The second great cemmandment:
" Theu shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,"
is sppllcable aa truly and with a much force
te ditlerent branches of Christendom a te In
dividual members efa particular communion.
J. As tbe three types of Cbrlstlsu lire rep
resented in tbe apostolic fellowship by Peter,
Paul and Jehn, and aa tbe two dominant ten
dencies active In tbe ante-Nlcene period as
Jewlah-Cbrlstlan and Ge-nllle-CbrUtian are
consistent with tbe unity of the organism of
the body el Christ, se new dllterences in the
mode of baptism, in tbe doctrine et the
Lord's supper, In tbe offices et common wor
ship, or In tbe method and conditions of tbe
ordinations of ministers de net of themselves
rentrsdict the reality of oragnie unity -, but
some of tbese nen-fundsmented dllterences
Is an adequate Juetificatlena for (operate or
ganization much less a reason for an exclu
sive attitude toward "ether branches of
Christendom."
4. Tbla clasala Is constrained respectfully
te question tbe wisdom et the principle laid
down by tbe heuse of bishop, requiring "tbe
return of all Christian communions te the
rerinc Die of unity exemplified by tbe undl
vided Catholic church during the first ages
of its existence." If we rlgbtly apprehend
the meaning of tbe words used by tbe
beuse et bishops this principle would in
volve two uutenable censequences: I.
That during " tbe first ages' the church
bad attained te such a degree of ripe
neas in organisatien, culture and doctrinal
apprehension of Christ and Ills kingdom,
tbat ber status a then prevalent becomes the
standard of Judgment aud action through all
tbe following centurion te "tbe end of the
world." II. That tbe abiding presence of tbe
Hely Spirit or Christ, glorified during the
last thirteen centuries, has net been aa pesi
tive, influential and transforming aa In the
Srevieus alx centuries, or during the ante
Icene period.
5. As te tbe data "essential te tbe restera
tien of unity" we express our unqualified
concurrence en 1 and III ; namely, tbe Uely
Scrlpturea "as tbe revealed verd el Ged" and
the two sacraments "ministered with unfail
ing use of Christ's words of Institution snd et
the elements ordained by Him."
In respect te Ne, 11, tbe Xlcene creed as
the sufficient statement et Christian faith, we
Ukewlae express concurrence, but with thl
qualificatien: The creed of Nice as com
pleted by tbe counell of Constantinople we
unqualifiedly confess, but for tbe reasons
given above we hesitate te affirm that this
ancient crerd I a sujjlcient statement of the
Cbriatlan faith.
IV. Tbe historic Epiaenpate locally adopted
In tbe method of IU administration te tbe
various need of the nation and peoples
called of Ged Inte the unity of Ills church,
though evidently expressed with care after
much consideration, may or may net convey
a meaning which we ran accept at a basis of
brotherly conference. 1 f Heuse of Bishops take
tbe position of eminent representatlvea et tbe
Anglican cbureb, prier te tbe time of Arch
bishop Land touching the validity of tbe min
istry eT the Kerarmed and Lutheran commu
nions en tbe continent of Europe, no serious
Issue will arise. A brotherly conference must
proceed en tbe presumption tbat the or
dained ambassadera of Jeau Christ, repre
senting ditlerent "Christian Dediea'are by
tbe laying en et hands invested with a valid
ministry, whether tbe order of administra
tion be tbe same or dissimilar.
Though it be doubtful whether tbe Re
formed German obureh ean acquiesce In all
tbe Inherent parts " of tbe " substantial
depealt " held by tbe Heuse et Bishops te be
essential te tbe restoration of unity," yet
thle very considerate declaration of tbe
Protestant Episcopal church has se mueh
dignity andjjgnlncanee that, in view el the
many evils of the prevalent aeetarlan
spirit which are atllletlng tbe Evangeli
cal Protestant church, thle clasala ex
presses tbe Judgment thst the general synod
te bs held at Akren, Ohie, In some form
whleh It may deem Judicious, ought te give
BiuneauvB response 10 me important
preposition et tbe Heuse et Bishops "te enter
Inte brotherly conference with all or any
Christian bodies seeking tbe restoration of
"e unity el the ohureh, with view
I tethVtnetetady or the oendltloa under
