WASHINGTON, Oct 10.
In consequence of the absence of the Pres-
dent from the city, the customary visit of the
justices to the Executive Mansion at the begin
ming of the new term will not take place. but
the opening session will doubtless as usual be
brief and merely formal. It is expecten that
some notice will be taken of the death of Hon.
BENZ. r. Curtis A meeting of the Bar will be
held for this purpose tomorrow. There are
now $40 cases entered on the docket, being 81
more than the number which last term COM
menced. There are also some thirty cases
ready for docketing with the exception of slight
informalities. In addition to the so.called
i'Granger" cases. involving the CONSTITUTIONAL
ty Of Wisconsin Railroad law, and Grant Par
ish Louisiana case, which involves the consti-
nationality of the s'Ku-Klux" law, there will
come before the court this term case to be
certified from the Supreme Court and state of
California, involving the constitutionality of
the law of that state prohibiting the landing of
Chinese women brought to the United States
for immoral purposes. The above mentioned
cases will undoubtedly, in consideration of
their great public Importance, be advanced on
the docket

all.
boy died in Pennsylvania last week from
drinking lye. Somebody calls this warning
to thoughtless people who attend Democratic
meetings and drink in all they hear.
Ex-Governor c. G. Washburn is said to be
the favorite of the anti-Carpenter Republic
cans of Wisconsin for United States Senator.
1t is mentioned as significant that Mr.. Wash
burn declined to attend a recent conference
of Republican leaders who came together for
the purpose of resolving that the party
should stand by Carpenter.
The Cincinnati Times thinks there is no
doubt that the Republicans will carry all the
Congressional districts in Ohio which re-
turned Republican Congressman at the last
election, except the ninth, where it predicts
the election off Democrat. To Offset this. it
thinks the Republicans will carry the second
district, now represented by Gen. Banning,
Democrat.
In Kansas the Changers were badly sold in
selecting their candidate for Governor. They
nominated Mr.. Cusey. He had been in the
state about three years, and they didn't know
much about him, but thought they were get
ting regular "people's' man for Governor.
1t now appears that Mr.. Cusey has been a
middle-man all his life, and that in Iowa he
was the worst sort of a land Spectator. and
otherwise arrayed against the farming inter-
est.
Senator Thurman declares that the state
ment so frequently made, and generally be-
lieved, that the wealth of the country is pass
ing into the hands of few, is mistake. In
his address before the Maryland Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, he cited statis-
tics to the contrary, showing that the in
crease of farms is greater than that of popu-
lation, and the Increase of small farms is con-
siderably greater than that OF large ones.
These are important facts, and 60 far to JUS
tify his hopes for the future prosperity of the
country.

words speaking with full knowledge, OBJ

Feeble constitutions cannot be physicked into health

Dosing will not accomplish this; but Hostetter's
stomach bitters will. That admirable tonic and cor
recve regulates at the time that it strengthens
the stomach, liver and bowels, and while mparting-

THE conversion of the Marquis of Ripon
to Catholicism, affords Col. Forney.an oppor-
tunity,in one of his letters to the Philadelphia
Press, to draw an instructive comparison be-
tween English sentiment in this case and
American sentiment in very similar case.
When the Earl of Ripon, man prominent in
public affairs, and Grand Master Of the Free
Masons of England, went over to the church
of Rome, a general cutlery was raised, and
the Times announced that he had forfeited
all claims to political or even social influence.
When the Hon. Joseph R. Chandler, man
prominent in public affairs, and Grand Mas
ter of the Free Masons of Pennsylvania, went
over to the church of Rome, his motives were
not questioned, no reproaches were uttered
against him, and he was chosen thereafter by
his fellow citizens to places ofhonor and trust.
Colonel Forney does not enter into discus
sion of the difference in sentiment between
the two countries, but takes notice of the fact
that the English religion is local, territor.
ial religion, and that when man abandons
1t he abandons a national institution. This
view OF the case commends itself very strongly
to the French, and they make it the occasion
for sprightly epigram; as witness the follow
ing from the DebGts: "We have read some
where that the religion of the English is not
Christianity, but England herself; it is not
the Gospel they consider, but Magma Charta.
For an Englishman, the mystery of the Holy
Trinity is nothing but the equilibrium be-
tween the three estates of the Realm
Crown, Lords and Commons. The English
man is religious through patriotism; he re-
sDects all ha:ional Institutions, and the estab-
lished church is one Of them, just as trial by
jury, the habeas corpus, horse-racing and
portrait painting. Thus, by the mere fact OF
becoming Catholic, in the eyes of all true
Britons Lord Ripon ceases TO be an English
man; in other words, there is no such thing
as human consciepce-th there is nothing but
English conscience. The English are not
quite sure that their God is the same God of
other countries; they assign Him a national-
ty. 1fthey could, they would give Him
uniform-the red coat,the color of her Males
ty's government"

ENGLISH statesmen, politicians and other
public men are not exempt from the calumny
and abuse which is so freely visited upon men
in public life on this side of the water, and
English journals do not hesitate to make
charges of fraud, corruption and jobbery on
as faint evidence as ever furnished an Ameri-
can newspaper with material for an attack
upon the character of political opponent.
Mr.. Joseph Arch is the latest transatlantic
victim, and the matter upon which accusa-

ONE of those war clouds which periodically
hang over the continent of Europe, has just
appeared in the horizon. The old Schleswig-
Hostein question is assuming prominence
again, and Germany is reported to be assum-
ing threatening attitude toward Denmark.
In the event of war Russia will doubtless as
sist Denmark, in the hope of Gripping
neighbor who has become altogether too
powerful of late for her peace of mind. In
case of conflict Germany might be embar-
raised somewhat by internal discussions, but
the contest would be long and bloody. Ar
bitration is the best method of settling this
difficulty, but it is doubtful if continental ma
tions are yet educated up to it.
