Archbishop Corrigan's Rules for the Com. ing Fast, Lent, the usual season for fasting, be. gan on Wednesday. Recently the Pope, owing to the ravages of the grip, issued a rescript dispensing Catholics from the usual fast and abstinence of Lent. The Pope gave power to Archbishops and Bishops to absolve the people of their charges from fasting and abstinence as | long as, in their judgment, the state of public health required this indulgence, A few of the bishops of this country | have given their people the benefit of the Papal rescript, and in their dioceses there will be neither fasting nor absti- nence during Lent. Archbishop Cor- rigan has not deemed it necessary to make nse of the Papal rescript in The regulations include | the following | ing filed in the prothonstary’s office, as | | clearly directed by law, and deliberately | over the prothonotary’s official signature | without Mr. Schaeffer's knowledge or { consent.

BLAINE has given alengthy article to the press in which he defends Mrs. Blaine from the accusation that she was the cause of James Jr., and his | wife separating. Public sentiment in this matter may have been in fault ; but as it does not belong to the public to know the details of family quarrels the letter might just as well not have been written. The Pennsylvania G. A. R. men are with Commander-inChief Palmer on his order forbidding members of the or- ganization to march in a procession where a rebel flag was carried. While the boys in blue from Pennsylvania have no bitterness towards the men who fought against them, yet they honor themselves and their cause too much to march under the emblem of a treason they risked life and limb to crush out. i — The bill prohibiting the desecration of the national flag was last week given to Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, by the House Committee on the Judiciary, with in- structions to report it to the House with a favorable recommendation. The bill, which was slightly amended from the form as introduced by Mr. Caldwell, of Ohio, provides that any person who shall use the national flag by printing, painting or fixing on it any advertisement for public display or pri vate gain shall be guilty of a misde. meanor and liable on conviction toa fine and imprisonment.

FEIDLER'S MAN FRIDAY APPEARS, that Knowing full well when | matter would come before court that the | | petition would have to be certified to by | | the prothonotary as having peen pre. the provisions of the law, and knowing that such was not the case they realized to be made by some one to induce Mr. Shaeffer to certify to a deliberate false hood, and none other than our esteemed and highly respected friend (?) ex-sheriff pose.

There isno political motive in writing the above; there is no heated campaign on band or political point to be gained by it. But our reason for do- ing this is to substantiate what we have said heretofore in regard to the unre- liability of the Keystone Gazette, and the makeup of the publisher and proprie- tor who takes such great delight in viciously assailing the character and conduct of officials in county offices who happen to be democrats, As we this | pared and filed in full compl iance with | that another desperate move would have | Robert Cook, of Howard, appeared to | accomplish if possible such a base pur- | on Tuesday with the petition and asked | to hand the petition | and thas leave the Court under the im- | pression th at it had been regularly filed, | desperate means to which some men will | Fourth—Where it is not convenient to take the principal meal at noon, it is and take a collation in the morning and dinner in lawful to invert the order, | the evening.

The new ballot law has some snags in the way of its being put in operation, A few days ago it was announced that the patentee, or the owner, of the elec- tion booth, adopted by Pennsylvania, had informed our State authorities that permission to use it had not been ob. talned and that he would sue for dam- ages all who used it. What steps have been taken by the State we are ignorant With the snags all out of the way, close attention must be given to the law itself to prevent any failure in the elec- tion being legal. It may not be gener. ally known, but is a provision of the Baker ballot law, that all nominations for Judge, Congress, State Senate, Rep. resentative and other public offices must be made and certificates thereof filed {with the Secretary of the Common. wealth at least fifty-six days prior to election.
