for such reaction.
Thb Seliusgrove Tribune refuses to
support the candidate of the Republi
can party for Sheriff, on the ground
that he was not honestly nominated.
Tbe position of tbe Tribune is correct.
A man who secures his nomination by
dishouest means should te defeated, it
matters not whether le be a Republi
can or Democrat. The country is grad
ually working itself up to that plain on
which no man who las secured a nomi
nation by fraud can staud before the

the press generally, without regard to

THE Temperance organ, published

F. McFarland, publishes the laces j
lhr.iOgbt.ut the Commonwealth at which
Res. R. Aodlej Brows, the political
Temperance t and id ate, is to apeak in
advocacy of tbe cause for which he is
the candidate for Governor. Almost
every day of this present "month baa
bren. aet apart for tceetioc in tome
part of the State, the Holy Sabbath oot
excepted. Last Sunday a Temperance
political iceeting was held at Keooett
Square, Chester county, at wL'teh Rev.
R. Audley Brown spoke. Another
Sunday meeting of the same character,
at which Mr. Brown is announced to
speak, is advertised for Sunday, the
19th iust.,at Danville, Montour county.
What would the con u try say if Gen.
Uartranft would make appointments to
stump the State, Sunday included, in
advocacy of tbe cause for which lie ia
tbe candidate for Governor? What
would the people of this coucty say if
our Cyauty candidates would hold Sun-
diyuieeting. and argue their cause atdjbetween CUr!eg cw.k .,id j
org people to vote for them, j ney
bsve just the fame right to do so that
Mr. Brown has. Tbe moral depravitv
that would naturally spring from such
a course of action is unpleasant to eon
template. Such a rule of actiou, if
pot ic force through the course of one
generation, would most probably destroy
tbe observance cf the Sabbath entirely.
TliKRC are a great many pleasant
utterances in regard to the rapid pro
gress that the Japanese aud other peo
ple, who occupy that portion of the
earth that was firt peopled by Adam,
and after the fluod re peopled by N'oab,
arc making in tbe adoptiou of the man-
uera and customs of the Yankees, and
it is all quite flattering. Tbe general
opinion is that tbe people of the Kist
have little ti.at Western people will take
to indulging ia. The following para
graph, however, definitely settles tbe
poiut that they have habits that chris
tian people will adopt :
"The other dt.y, at Cape May, a very
novel entertainment during the after
noon ard evening was a Japanese tea
party, given by Mrs. Pr. J. P. New
man, of Washington. A complete
Japanese tea set was spread on the
floor, and the numerous guests sat or
Wpuatted around in true Japanese style.
Fonr ladies were attired in elaborate
Japanese costumes, and tea of the su
perior quality that is only used by tbe
Emperor and Mandarins was served in
dainty Japanese enps. Thi) tea was
brought from Japan by Dr. and Mrs.
Newman."
It was the pursuit of the luxury of
the East tbe Orient -that multiplied
the extravagance of Koine, made bt-r

much as anything else that can be men
tioned. Is it only a question of ab
sorption ? Are we to absorb the hca-
tbeu, or are the heathen to absorb us ?
It is a question that' may be debated,
and never settled uutil the matter has
run a few hundred years, when tbe ut
ter overthrow cr swallowing np of one

manifest to all.
On toe question of the distribution
of the Common School fund in Ohio,
the Pittsburg Gazette last week pub
lished tbe following editorial :
There have been declarations that
there was nothing in the schocl issue in
Ohio ; but tho Catholic Telegraph very
positively declares : "We have agitated
and fehall continue to agitate for our
share of the school fund as long as we
are taxed to support schools which Cath
olic children cannot attend. We look
in the futnre for the abolition of this
terrible grievance, not from any party
nor po'iticians like Judge Taft, but
ft nui a majority of citizens, wbo, re
gardless of party, will be willing to do
ns justice." Exactly ; and here is the
very danger that threatens. By the
Telegraph' own showing there is ample
cause for the feeling excited in Ohio.
If Catholics are relieved from tax be
cause their children attend sectarian
schools, others will insist upon a like
privilege, denouiiuatinnal schools wiil
multiply, and the result be the destruo
tion of our common school system
The above confession shows there is
cause for real alarm, aud the people of
Ohio should admtni.-ter a decided re
buke to those who have raised this
issue. There is no denying the fact
tbst the issue plainly exists.
Ax organ of the workingmcn called

This case of bank robbery was re
ported from Louisville, Ky., on the 2d
inst. : About daybreak Louis Rehm,
tbe teller of the Planter's National
Bank, was discovered near the bank on
his way to the police station. He i
could hardly speak at first, but after a
while informed the detectives that three
men bad taken htm from bed during
tbe night, proceeded to tbe bank, and
forced bim to deliver the keys, with
which they opened the safe and ab
stracted money. . Rehm alleged that he
was chloroformed and stabbed in tbe
side, where there is a slight wound.
Tbe preceding story was related to De
tective Bligb, who regarded it as very
weak, and had Rebm locked np at a
hotel. The directors of the bank met,
and after consultation came to the con
clusion that Rehm's story was a fraud
and be the robber. Being told that all
regarded him as the robber, be asked
for an hour's sleep, and retired for that
time, and on awakening confessed to
the detectives that be had robbed tbe
safe tbe preceding night before 12
o'clock, carrying its contents home and
burying tbem nuder bis bouse. An ex
Imioitioo by the detectives revealed all
the money tied in a small sheet under a
gymnasium in the rear of Rehm's resi
dence He was arrested and is now in
jail. He says tbat he doesn't know
why he took the money, 4nd now realizes
the improbability of being taken from
bed as stated. Tbe bauk wiil resume
business to-morrow. The money stolen
by Rebm, the teller, has all been re
