The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1871-01-22

In our Utiuersc) school days we remem-
her reading of the suspicious Trojan war
rior who feared the Greeks, especially when
Offering presents. A passage in the Times
of Monday forcibly recalled this to our
mind. That journal ID not generally in the
habit of going out of its way to pay com
pliments to Ireland, but on Monday it GER
tainly camo out very strong in the fiatter-
inc line. The description of Irish content,
happiness, good order and progress made
ms think that-if the pictures were quite
| true the Home Government Committee
might shut up shop, for where all was
prosperous change of any kind might be
dan gerous. On reading more, however, of
this " soft solder" we find that it is only

to " keep aisy'' and not to give any atten-

rather suspicious that this admonition, (not
unmixed with "blarIey") should appear
Immediately after the receipt of President
Grants message, in which the Alabama

THE Kuklux bill is likely to become
big elephant on the hands of the Rad
ical party. They have it, but what to
do with it is the question If not used,
no good will come to the organization.
They will get all the kicks and none of
the pennies. In the way of its applica-
tion stands the protest of Radical Gov
ernors and Senators in the South, who
openly and positively declare that the
civil authorities are abundantly able to
take care of the people of that section.
More than one Radical paper in the
North has also denounced this bill and
its object. The Chicago Tribune, the
leading Radical organ in the Northwest,
says: "As to the KukluX bill, it is by
no means certain that the next Repub-
lican National Convention will endorse
it. Moreover, it will have expired by
Limitation before the next Presidential
election takes place." This is the tone
of many of the Radical organs. They
look upon the bill rs part of the Ma
chinery to be used to renominate and
re elect General Grant, and do not think
the "game worth the candle.' In the
meantime, the people are becoming bet
ter acquainted with the infamous pro-
visions Of the Ku-KluX bill, and their
opposition is becoming more general
and intense. Bad men dig pits and fall
into them, says the Good Book, and
such will be the fate of the Radical party
with some of their political schemes

A CHAPTER of Facts.

Space is valuable in newspaper, and 1t is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense variety OF facts, important to the public,
into u small compass. Those facts refer to Hos
letters Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated
medicine is, and what 1t will do. In the first
place, then, the article is a stimulant tonic and
Alternative consisting Of n combination of an
absolutely pure spirituous agent with the most
valuable medicinal vegetable substances that
Botanic research has placed at the disposal OF
the chemist and the physician. These ingredi-
ents are compounded with great care, ana IN
such proportions as TO produce n preparation
which invigorates without exciting the general
system, 1t tones, regulates and controls the
stomach, the bowels, the liver, and the minor
secretive organs.
What this great restorative Will do must be
gathered from what IT has done. The case of
dyspepsia, or any other form of Indigestion, in
which 1t has been persistently administered
without eilecting Il radical cure, is. yet TO be
heard from, and the same may be said of bilious
disorders, intermittent fever, nervous affections,
general debility, constipation, sick headache,
mental disabilities to which the feeble are so
subject. II pur1es all the fluids of the body, in
Guiding the blood. and the gentle stimulants
which It imparts to the nervous system is not
succeeded by the slightest reaction. This Is n
chapter of fact which readers, for their own

THE present executive was the first
in the history of the country to furnish
the sh ameless example of accepting
gifts or bribes. Prior to his inauSura.
ton $50, 900 house and lot was pur-
chased and donated to him and, when
he came to make up his cabinet, the
principal donator and originator of the
"gift enterprise" was nominated for
head of the treasury department. Pub
lie patronage has become an article Of
commerce, and is under the manage
ment of those at Washington who con-
troll the political stock exchange. Ed
'itors of newspapers are appointed to
lucrative places in consideration of de-
Tending the lawlessness and corruptions
of the administration. There is every
reason to fear that unless the people be-
come speedily aroused to the dangers
that must flow from such poisoned foun-
tains, and when opportunity offers,
sweep from power the usurpers and
corruptionists who defile the places
once occupied by patriotic statesmen
the opportunity of peaceful means of
redress will have passed forever from
their hands.

German Iudependence.

The sturdy character of the Teuton
has at all times been subject of inter-
est and to most people of other blood an
enigma. Often denounced as stubborn,
of all people they are furthest from it,
but they are as firm as the very founda-
tions of the universe. Bad government,
bad leadership, and bad fortune, we'll
nigh crushed them during the 18th GEN.
tury, but their achievements in the 10th
have vindicated them and they are to.
day the most powerful people on the
face of the earth. Their recent triumph
over France has no parallel In magni-
tude and completeness in history. AS
conquerors their wisdom and modera-
tion has been as perfect in all its parts
as it was unexceptionable, Irresistible
and overwhelming in the field. But
German character has had another great
trial, in the calm councils of the great
Prussian empire, as illustrative of their
merits as their achievements in the
field. Taking advantage of the great
popularity Of the Emperor and himself
at the close of the war, which they had
just closed in such brilliant blaze of
glory, BISMARCK proposed to the Par
Lament to confer dictatorial powers
upon the Emperor and give him COM
plete control of the National Treasury.
The immediate excuse was the condi.
tion of the newly captured provinces
of Alsace and Lorraine, and the neces-
sity for prompt action to meet any con-
tingency that might arise there. But
their liberty and their perfect control of
the officers of the realm is the last thing
Germans will surrender. With almost
unanimity they refused the demand,
though BISMARCK threatened resigna-
ton, but with equal wisdom and practi-
cal good sense they conferred the de-
sired power so far as the provinces in
question were concerned. In other
words, what is necessary TO preserve
order and peace they willingly yield to
the Emperor, but further than that they
will be neither coaxed, flattered, bribed
or driven. And such is German inde-
pendence of character.

TIE last Weekly Gazettc and BulIetm
gives the particulars of series of fires,
in Williamsport. Tho first was an old
house occupied by two families, known
az the Ross property, which was entire,
ly consumed. 1t belonged to the widow
of the late Judge GRIER, and was high
ly reverenced by her because it was the
house in which she was born. The
next fire destroyed three buildings on
Mulberry street, north Of the p. IL e..
Railroad. One of tho buildings was
used as chair factory and considera-
BILE amount of work was lost. The
other two were occupied by families.
The next and last fire reported was a
frame building on Washington street,
owned by s. Ulman. The flames, how
ever, were eXtinguished before much
damage was done. Muncy, Williams
port, Jersey Shore and Lock Haven
have all suffered moro or less by fires

A Huge MOnOpOly!

1t is stated that under the modest
name of the Laurel Run Improvement
Company the late Legislature chartered
a company of most inordinate dimen-
sions and powers, by which the. Read
ing Railroad company obtains control
of 10000 to 10000 acres of the most val
liable coal lands in Schuylkill, Colum-
bia and Northumberland counties. AS
the same company already owns all the
railroads traversing these localities with
the exception of single branch, their
power over the entire region in future
seems to be complete. This is the most
calamitous of all the results of the late
strike,as its inf uence will be perpetual.
All individual operators and small
companies will bo compelled to sell out
to this mammoth concern or yield
obedience to its wishes, and the Coal
market supplied from the region nam
ed will be entirely within its control.
We regarded this result as the most
dangerous feature of the strikes from
their first commencement. They were
almost sure to compel capital to aggre-
gate and combine and this was their
steady tendency. The entire anthracite
coal business will soon be controlled by
less than half dozen incorporated
companies, whose general interests will
be combined under single head, and
all opposition then will prove ephem-
eral, abortive and vain. They will die.
tate terms to all other operators, deal
ers, consumers, miners, and all who are
either directly or indirectly interested,
and it will be in vain to seek relief by
any practicable means. The day may
come when public sentiment will
become so enlightened in unselflsh
views that social revolution will de
mand return to the Democratic prin
ciple of hostility to corporations ant
monopolies, and the fostering of indi
vidual enterprise, as of old, but there il
no evidence within our vision to in di
cate this desirable result. The tendency
of everything is now to combinations,
which throw all practical power into
the hands of leaders, and the follies and
rascalities of these are always likely Il
increase the evils they deal with-thei
follies being the most dangerous ell
ement.

European News.

The monsters who have had control
of Paris ever since tho downfall of MA
PoLEoN have at length been subdued,
after most bloody struggle. A very
large proportion of them were killed
during the contest and tho authorities
are butchering the rest without mer cy.
Only the humblest and least guilty
will be suffered to escape death. Be-
fore their final fall, however, they
wreaked their vengeance upon religion
by executing the Arch Bishop of Paris
and about 60 priests and some nuns, as
well as other respectable citizens. They
also fired the principle public buildings
and private houses, and for several days
fired shells filled with petroleum. About
one-third of the city is in ruins and all
of it is much injured. General VINoY,
upon whom the insurgents had pro-
nounced death, has been appointed Mil
itary Governor of Paris and all parts OF
the city are occupied by troops.
The next step for the tickle French
men to take is to form q more perma-
ncnt government. What form it may
eventually take is now not apparent
and half dozen plans may be tried
before one becomes permanent, though
violent outbreaks are scarcely to be fear
ed after the recent terrible example OF
bloodshed and starvation. Our own
judgment Is that their only choice is be-
tween a military dictator and NAPoL'
KoN. But if they can doanything better
the friends of popular government
would rejoice.
In the last of the fighting, in the sin
fected" districts no quarter was given
and men, women and children were
killed Unfortunately, until the last
insurgent band surrendered. At the
last advices executions were proceed
ing at three different points in the city
where fifty TO one hundred insurgents
are shotat time. The National Guards
are all being disarmed-that is, arms are
being taken from all persons who dc
not belong to MCMAHoN's army. Mul
titudes of people are under arrest, ant
none are permitted to leave Paris with
out pass. Up to this time more thar
so, 900 insurgents have been killed. Few
can escape, as none of the governments
around France will give them quarters
The destruction Of the entire body
seems to be inevitable, as only the few
who can conceal themselves or get OF
ship board can escape. Their fate is
terrible one, yet who can say it is no
deserved? They are murderers who
sought to destroy everything that /
good.

TIE editor of the Bellefonte JPdich.
man, who was at Harrisburg at the time,
says that of the one hundred and thirty
delegates who composed the Radical
State Convention, but forty.six were not
oflice-holders. The notorious Bum, of
Philadelphia, was prominent in the
body, and Quay, Simon Cameron's
henchman, controlled the concern in
the interest of his master. Wagonseler,
who some years ago, with Lebo and
Manear, betrayed himself for a price to
Cameron, was also on hand to do the
bidding of his old "friend." 1t Is said
that the one man power was never more
fully exemplifled. We have an abiding
faith that the people of this State will
refuse to be longer governed by Simon
Cameron's corrupt "ring.'

The suspension of DR.. Lanahan as
Associate Agent Of the Book Concern
revives the unpleasant quarrel among
Its officials which has so seriously dis
turbed the Methodist Church. The
worst of these disagreements lies in the
fact that once carried into the courts, as
this has been, they inevitably bring dis.
credit, not on the litigants merely, but
on the Church too, and consequently
scandalize religion. Any compromise
which avoids publicity in those matters
should, for this reason alone, commend
Itself to these Christian gentlemen.
