Henry Ward Raecher

Henry Ward Beecher preached a
powerful sermon Sunday evening, on the
text, "Thou shalt not steal.' In the
course Of his remarks he attacked the
Pendl ton proposition, which the copper
head party has since deliberately adopted
as to the main plank in its platform. with
his sharpest rhetoric. he said :
Il regard the refusal to pay the bonds
Of these United States in gold or silver,
as being, in every disguise and under
every possible idea, an attroeious theft !;
and pronounce that man. either by mis-
take or Intentionally, thief who does It,
or attempts to procure the doing OF it..
It is an attempt to make this nation a
vast tbieving body Applause It is
not an accusation that can be laid against
one party or the other. There are THE YES
in both parties that are clamorous for this
national reputation. This is a crime
that think would not have it's PARALLEL
even among knaves, It takes sort of
man smirched with patriotism and var
nished with piety to do the wickedest
thing. Sensation. A pick-pocket
would not steal the medicine away from a
physician who was healing his own moth
er. But, while men in the nations hour
of extremity and peril lent their aid, it
is now proposed that we shall pick their
pockets and steal from them. It is q
thing for which there were no titles mon
strous enough. It is thing that every
man who has conscience or a particle of
honor ought to hiss at and spew at.
It is shame that the Church--that is SO
loud against dancing and card playing
has not word to say against national
robbery, national dishonor, and national
dishonesty.

PAPER HArs.-The last novelty is pa
per hats, made in exact imitation of fine
braided straw hats. The process is so
simple that the great wonder is that it has
never been thought Of before. The pulp
is mixed in large vat, heated by steam
and thoroughly mangled by circular teeth.
It is then drawn of by a spiggot into a
form which has fine wire sieve to receive
the pulp and allow the wafer to escape.
After the water is run through, the wire
sieve form is placed upon block, where,
after drying: it is placed undera press and

CHANGES IN OUR FOREIGN PoPULA-

the largest proportion of foreigners. In

burgh the Irish largely predominant but
in Buffalo, Baltimore. Cincinnati, Chicago.
Milwaukee and St Louis the Germans
far surpass them in numbers In the
tour last cities the foreign population
forms over fifty per cent, of the whole,
and of these the Germans are fully
one-half
OF all our emigrants, the Germans and
Irish are the soonest nationalized and
the English last of all. The latter seem
to retain a stronger feeling for their
mother country; and have generally less
sympathy with our people and institu-
tons than other foreigners. The Ger
mans retain many Of their native customs,
and show some disposition to retain their
own language, but their leading men OPP

The New Consultation of New
York.

The characteristic features CT the new
Constitution of New York TO be voted
on by the people next November) are
thus summarized by an exchange:
The Constitution as finally adopted by
the Convention, differs from the present
New York Constitution in several particu-
lars. The election of the Governor and
other State officers is ordered to take place
at the same time, instead of in alternate
years, as at present. The number of State
Senators is unchanged, but their term of
service is heightened to four years, and
the number of Assemblymen is enlarged
from 1913 TO 139, to be elected by couI ties
instead of districts, as now. An effort is
made to secure a better class of men for
the Assembly by fixing the compensation
at $1,000 per year, with $500 additional
for the Speaker. A two-thiras vote
of the whole Legislature viii be neces-
sary TO override veto upon any bill by
the Governor The judicial system has
been considerably changed, and the Court
of Appeals, the highest Court in the State,
is TO consist of Chief Justice and SIX
Justices, who are to be elected by the peo-
pie for terms Of fourteen years, with the
provision that no one is to serve after he
has rescued the age of seventy years.
The present New York judicial system is
very faulty, and one of the principal argu-
ments urged in favor of q Convention for
the adoption of new Constitution was
the necessity of relieving the higher courts
of vast quantity of cases that find their
vsy there In consequence of the unfitnese
and incompetency of the Judges of the
lower courts, and the general cumbersome
ness of the entire system of administering
justice. The changes made in this par
ticular cover the whole range of courts,
and the terms of all the Judges are length
ened 70 fourteen years. A proposition TO
establish impartial suffrage is to be SUBJ
mitted separately from the Constitution, so
that those who oppose giving the suffrage
impartially to ali classes need not vote
against the entire Constitution unless they
choose to.
