THE Republicans of Maine and
Iowa have followed the lead of Ohio,
and at their State Conventions en-
acted resolutions expressing their
utter condemnation of the back pay
steal, and it is very evident that be-
fore Congress meets again, the de-
mand for the unconditional repeal of
the salary clause will be so forcible
and expressive that it cannot be re
sisted. The Iowa Republicans have
gone one step further, and adopted a
resolution which, if adhered to, as it
should be in all the States, will have
the effect Of producing the reforms
demanded, increase the strength of
the Republican party, and secure for
it long lease of usefulness and
power. Read it:
ResolUed, That we are desirous of
political reform and honesty and
purity in all official administration;
that to secure this is the duty of
every citizen; that to this end every
good man should feel bound to par
ticipate in politics, and make an end
of bad men forcing their election by
securing party nominations. We
declare 1t to be the duty of every
Republican to oppose the election of
a bad man and incompetent official,
whether he be candidate upon our
own or any other ticket.

The Supreme Court and the Anti
Bible Decision.

The Supreme Court and the Anti
Bible Decision.
The decision in the famous Bible
in-the-schools injunction case, rem
dered by the Supreme Court on
Tuesday, revives the memory of the
old contest of two years ago, which
at the tine attracted national inter
est. In the meantime legal fOgs
have so obscured the question that
its exact status is not clearly dis
cernable, nor does the decision throw
the Bible out of the schools, as many
enormously suppose.
The trouble had its origin in the
Following resolutions adopted by the
Cincinnati Board of Education at a
time when anti-Bi0le men predomi-
mated:
ReSOlged, That religious instructions and
the reading of religious books, including the
Holy Bible, are prohibited in the common
schools of Cincinnati, it being the true object
and intent of this rule to allow the children of
the parents of all sects and opinions in matters
OF faith and worship to enjoy alike the benefit
ResOlUed, That so much of the regulations
on the course of study and text books in the
/ intermediate and district schools IN. 2I3, An
nual repor) as read as follows: "fbe opening
exercises in every department shall commence
by reading portion of the Bible by or under
| the direction of the teacher, and appropriate
singing by the pupils" be repealed.
Beaten in the school board the
friends of the Bible carried their
cause to the courts, praying for an
injunction to restrain the board from
carrying the resolution into effect.
After long and able arguments on
both sides, the Superior Court of
Cincinnati, at that time the peer of
the Supreme Court in ability, rem
dered its decision. Two of the
judges, Storer and Hagans, decided
in favor of q perpetual Injunction
against the board, Judge Taft dis
senting. The case was then carried
to the Supreme Court Of the State,
where decision has just been given
reversing that ofthe Superior Court.
The substance of the decision is that
the constitution of the State does
not have any bearing on the question
in any way. That is, that religious
instruction in the public schools is
not enjoined or required by the con
stitution, but that the Legislature
having placed the management of
the schools under charge of direct
ors, trustees and boards, the courts
have no jurisdiction in such cases as
this.
This decision was given by a full |
bench and may be regarded as final
ly settling a question of disputed au-
thority. The management of the
public schools is placed in the hands
of the local boards and the people
must look to them. While in the
Cincinnati case the effect of the de-
cision is to throw the Bible out of
the schools, for the present, the peo-
pie have the means of reinstaring it,
If they wish to do so, by eIecting a
new board pledged to carry out their
nstru ctions.-Ledder.

SENATOR CARPENTER of GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin, has made a speech in
vrndication Of his Credit Mobilier
transactions and his pocketing the
back-pay grab. He thinks the pro
test of the people against such things
is .'sore sickly morality" which
will soon subside, and then the Vir-
tue of the back-pay grabbers will be
recognized and appreciated. 1t will
not do, however. The people have
set their seal of condemnation upon
such measures and such men. and
will "spue them out oi their
mouths" Senator Carpenter and
all the other participants, whether by
fact or implication are dead cocks
in the phi" and no set speech, how
ever eloquent, will change the peo-
ple's verdict.

Revenue Frauds.

The Express says the name OF the firm
whose books have been seized by the Custom.
House officials, is Duden, Freeyes tS Co, and
on the charge of having during series of
years, carried on q systematic course of swim
ding on the Revenue department. Their
principal house is in Brussels, and they have
branch houses in Nottingham, London, st.
Petersburg, San Francisco and New York.
Richard Muser and Frederick Muser carry on
the business in New York, and Otto Muser
the San Francisco house. Mr. Phelps of the
Custom House, declared his intention of OBJ
tanning capias to-day for tho arrest of
Richard Muser. An order of arreat was also
to be obtained in New Jersey, part of the
laces having been smuggIed into Hoboken.
According to the affidavits, the penalties will
reach the enormous sum of two and a half
million dollars. 1t is alleged that this house
is trying TO form itself into a Joint stock com
pany, TO eyade part of the liability. The
customs officials, it is claimed, have taken an
illegal step in seizing tho books of the firm.
the proper course of action being to have an
piled to the United States District Court to
have the books seized and left in the custody
of the United States Court for examination.

The Detroit Tribune holds that
Senators Sherman and Thurman,
in simply notifying the Treasury
Department that they do not intend
to draw their back-pay, but desire it
to remain in the Treasury, have not
placed it beyond their reach. This
view is based upon the assumption
that the only effective mode is to
draw the money, and then cover it
back into the Treasury. That would
seem to be a pointwhich those Sena-
tors ought to understand. Unless
covered back into the Treasury it
stands there subject TO their order,
and though they themselves may
never tough it, it still awaits the ac-
ton of some one authorized to act
for them, and may be called for in
the future by an administrator or
executor. The surest way to place
it "where it will do the most good"
is to cover it back.

SENATOR CARPENTER is enjoying 8
nice time reading the comments OF
the leading papers upon his late
speech defending the salary grab.
1t was enough for him to pocket the
swag without endeavoring to justify
the steal. When a Republican has
fallen SO low as to openly defy the
sentiments of the people who gave
him position, it is time he was cast
overheard, where all the Jonah's
should go. The Cincinnati Gazette
addresses the following language to
the Hon. Senator. 1t is so terse and
direct that he will have no trouble
in understanding it:
'It makes no difference, therefore
what estimate Senator Carpenter or
any other Senator or Representative
places upon his services. They are
not bound to serve at any price, but
they are bound, as they do serve, to
respect the wishes of their constitu-
ents. Care was taken not to say a
word about poor Congressman and
inadequate salaries until after the
election. Mr.. Carpenter took good
care, last fall, in his campaign
speeches, not to speak of protecting
poor men by adding fifty per cent to
the salary of Congressman. His
talk then was honesty and ECONOMY !
and that was the talk on both sides |
and everywhere. Therefore, Con-
gressmen have violated the conf |
dence reposed in them, and every |
member who voted for the grab, and |
who will not vote to wipe out the
disgrace, will stand before the people
4 dishonored man. The question |
Is not whether a man can live on
$4,000, or on any other sum, or
a member of Congress can
make more outside than inside, but
whether the Congress of the United
states is TO be composed of honora.
lie men, or of individuals who accept
ne trust to advance their own per

Prepare i1s tt1 Cholera.

"Be wise in time" The
first few hours after an at
tack of Cholera are the pre-
ciOus moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case.
But the old saying that ode
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in neglecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
yOu. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one in which
they can have perfect conf
dence that should they have
occasion to use it, it will not
disappOint them. Such a
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by @. r.
MCCULLOCH. 1t has been
thoroughly tested. In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfully' all through our
country, in Sandusky City,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving hun
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in Sandusky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
veredin. A brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands of bottles,
says of it: "That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared.n
l prepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
of families in Fremont
can testify to its reliability
in Cholera MOrbus, and
a case of Cholera has
been prevented by it's timely
use. [ feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trifled with, and that to
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re-
lied upon, would be leopard
izing the lives of all who
used it, yet 1 offer this with
confidence, it having been so
thoroughly tried and proved
reliable.

"The!Bette1opinion" Concerning Mr..

BeecheT.
[From N. Y. Correspondent Buffalo Commercially
The better opinion among "lovers
of good men" is that Mr.. Beecher
will come out of the ordeal clear and
clean, so far as criminal conduct is
concerned, but by no means clear of
indiscretion( rather passive than pos
tive on his part, such as almost
surely gives occasion in world like
this for the making and beliving of
the grossest charges. The fondling
folly of some of Mr.. Beecher's female
adorers, unopposed by a compensa
ton of wisdom on his part, has much
to answer for all this misery and
shame, The uncharitable and un-
comprehending world without can
not understand certain grades of
loving familiarity, however innocent
in fact, on any other theory than
that of criminal intimacy. Many
women, it is certain, have been mad
ly in love with Mr.. Beecher | know
of one. Many others have lavished
upon him the fondest idolotry, as 4
sort of god; eager to kiss the hem
of his garment; and when favored
with actual intimacy-we all know
what such women will do. There is
some foundation to the story that
Mr.. Beecher had made confession
and asked forgiveness. A friend of
nine has seen the letter But there
was nothing of a criminal nature
confessed; only such indiscreLion RS
have indicated.
NEW York June 2S.-The Brook
lyn Eagle says the Examining Com
mittee of Plymouth Church has re-
ceived from f. West the specific
charge of slander against Henry G.
Bowen. Its charged that he has
circulated ISLANDERS against Henry
Ward Beechei which are false, and
his (Bowen's )eXpulsion is called for.
Investigation is to be made immed

nIls DCCCuGI Is uGSliOuS bLlb LlG
investigation should be made at

The EGgle adds: This morning a
reporter called upon Halliday, who
in answer 10 a request for a copy of
the charges, said "You can't get
them from me sir.' He further re-
fused any information concerning
the proposed investigation. The re-
porter came in contact with several
prominent members of Beecher's
church, and the general opinion
seems to be that it would be better
for the church if the investigation
were carried on in public. On very
good authority it was ascertained
that the charges refer in the main to
certain utterances made by Bowen
at recent conference, which took
place at the house of Victoria C.
WoodhpU.
