ton for another Senatorial term from the
republican caucus OF the Ohio Legislature,
and will doubtless DO reelected to- morrow,

and his success Is IN important victory for
General Grant over the Ohio republican mall

not less than Eve thousand shares changed

TAe O'Hara-stack Dimcslsy Cano

ne O'Hsra-stack Dimcslty-The Canon
The gist Of the matter between Bishop
O'Hara aud Father Stack, the late pastor Of
Williamsport, Pa. appears really to lie In the
fact that the Roman canon law has no appll-
cation In this country. To state this briefly,
II means that America. In Catholic parlance,
IL what IL called mission" In contrads-
tinction to country with o regular hierarchy.
This embryo state ID, Of course, parallel to
colonizing In the political sense, and Is as
natural as necessary. The absence ofthe canon
ent difficulty, that the Bishop Is competent
to remove q parish priest without showing
cause. The suit In the Pennsylvania Courts
is brought with the intention of compelling the
Bishop 10 do 80. II seems hardship that q
priest may be turned abroad without cause
stated, but the necessities of discipline ore
things which concern priests more than lay
men, and things to which they voluntarily SUBJ
scribe at the time Of their ordination. The
puzzle TO everybody seems TO be how the civil
Courts can help the matter at all; for as "all
the kings horses and oil the kings men"
could not put the yolk back in the cracked
egg, 1t Is just as difficult to civilly rehabllitate
an unfrocked priest. The Roman College will
perhaps, at some early day, find it in their
province TO erect America into country with
q regular hierarchy, and SO cut the present
Gordian knot between bishop and priest.

cratic party which made Jackson irresistible il

the venerable Cath ole Church has been driven

Peter and the Vicegerent of Christ. Napo-
leon, whose frown made Europe tremble, is q
harmless exile among the trees and garden
walks of Chiselhurst. Still the volcano
burns. Kings sit upon rocking thrones.
Society is like the mass of molten fire.
Men war upon the Church and State
nay; even upon sacraments sanctiied by CEN
turtles Of reverence. We are told that there Is
no God; that Christ is a fiction; that mar
riage Is q bondage; that none shall live In
marriage, and that in the general overthrow
the hearth and home and the family itself
must perish.
In this age of ohaos-this heaving, tumbling
age-all things are possible. The life of this
Prince of Erie-his sad, tragic, sudden
death-whatever we may call it-are natural
phenomena. Let us look to 1t and apply the
lesson which lie written upon this days
chronicle in such terrible, bloody let
tors. Society needs general publication.
The war did it's share, but more remains to be
done. The Pyramids spoke to Napoleon with
the lessons of forty centuries. Shall this
republic hope to have shorty centuries" Of ex-
istence2 See what Rome did In her three hun
dred years Of republican life The memory
Of that epoch Is ever present. 1t gave us
Brutus. We are about to close the first
century OF our nations life. What have
we given to the worldp What lesson have we
taught How much have we contributed to the
comfort and happiness of mankind? In our
pride We may say that II Rome gave the world
Brutus, America has given 1t Washington. 1t is
only our pride that speaks. Rome passed from
Brutus 10 Heliogabulus and Nero in four CEN
turtles. We have passed from Washington to
this poor Prince of Erie. But Rome did more.
She developed Caesar and made Chrlst's
teachings possible. Even kings pay tribute
TO that spendor, when Russia crowns her
Gar and Germany her Kaiser, and adore the
humble Jew who paid tribute 10 Liberals.
America has not reached such consumma-
ton, nor are we on the way to It.
Let ms therefore bury this dead man with all
honor to the good that was in him. ''Why,"
said Mrs. Stowe, did you love this horrible
Lord Byron, when you knew of his follies
and crimese" Because, my DEAR" said Lady
Byron, "there was the angel in him."
There was this In the Prince of Erie;
but his life, his death and the social chaos
which found expression in their impress upon
all were grave and immediate responsibilities.
Chaos seems to have triumphed, but Is it not
time the triumph should endf Is It not time
that government and order and tradition and
religion and moral law should begin to reign?

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. M. Smith g. CO., accom-
plishes what has always been a desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
lance between the hills.
Z All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped
& THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARITY in the number of grains deposited. q

CAUSE OF THE DETERIORATION OF
THE WHEAT CRoP.-Frederick Watts,
commissioner of agriculture, in recent
letter says: "The experience of many
years has led me to the conclusion that the
deterioration of the wheat crop is mainly
attributable to the improper and untimely
use of barn-yard manure. In our practice
the clover sod is turned down and planted
with corn. The ground is again plowed in
the spring, and sowed with oats, and upon
the stubble of this crop all the manure of
the barnyard is put, then plowed again
is thus subjected to the rawness and gross
ness of barnyard food, with all its germs
of flies, worms, lice and bugs-seemingly
a sufficient cause of the unsuccessful
growth of grain so pure and delicate as
wheat. Corn is the hog of plants, and will
devour food Of any quality and thrive upon
it. Here, then, upon the sod, to be plowed
for corn, is the place for barnyard manure.
Bury it deep, and when the corn is cut
off, break the stubble even with the ground
during winter. In the spring harrow the
ground well, sow your oats upon it and
roll it. You will thus keep your manure
where you put it, and not subject the oat
crop to being thrown down by it. When
this crop is removed, bring your manure to
the surface by deep blowing and thorough
tillage. The barnvard manure having thus
received proper preparation, is fit food fol
the wheat plant. Experience has laugh
me this lesson. On my farm in Pennsyl
vania ] never fail to raise satisfactory
crop of.wheat, and | have known no sucl
thing as nudge, Hessian fly, or army
worm"
