ReiigiousFrenzy Am ong the Lapps.

A writer in an English magazine says,
in speaking OF service in Lapland
church: &C. 1t seems that within the last
few years a kind of fanatieism has crept
in among these Lapps, and the Word OF
God, Instead Of pouring oil upon a
bruised spirit, as every one is taught to
believe who will read the Scriptures
Alright, only fills them with imaginary
terrors; and, far different from the
creed OF the real Christian, they seem
to think the best atonement they can
make for their sins lies in outward
show. | have seen a little of this in
other churches in Sweden, where at Ger.
tain parts Of the service the women all
commence groaning and sobbing SO
loud that you can scarcely hear the
clergyman. This, however, soon passes
off, and is scarcely worth notice. These
happs, however, must have been far
more susceptible, or far more wicked,
for all at once, when the communion
service began, two or three women
sprang up in different parts of the
church, and commenced frantically
jumping, bowling, shrieking and clap
ping their hands. observed one mid
dle-aged female particularly energetic,
and sank down in a kind of fit after
about FIVE minutes exertion. The in
fection soon spread, and in few min
utes two-thirds of the congregation
Joined in the cry, and all order was at
an end. Five or six would cluster round
one individual, hugging, kissing, weep
ing and shrieking, till / really thought
some one would be smothered. One old
patriarch in particlar, who sat close be-
hind me, seemed an object peculiar ven.
Grafton, and the Lapps crowded from all
parts Of the church to hug him, How
he stood it cannot imagine; but be sat
meekly enough, and at one time count

men proGtably employed. We have
no sympathy for violence in any
form, either of lawlcssness, or
legalized depotism, but the money
power and monopolies of the coun-
try have no right to trample upon
the laboring classes, and when they
pursue policy which drives even
the reckless and desperate to the
commission Of crime it is the duty
Of the wise, conservative, thought
full men Of the country to order
halt of the advocates and beneficial
ries of special privileges. The
campaign of crime which has
already been inaugurated in the
work of contraction, the legitimate
fruits Of the policy OF reducing
the currency below the demands
of the business of the country.
1t is the suspention of the iron
works and other branches of in
dustry, lessening the consumption
Of coal, which has produced the
condition Of things which now
exist in the coal mines. The con-
tractionists are responsible for the
turbulence aud violence which has
become irrepressible on account of
the idleness of thousands Of men
in Pennsylvania. More money and
more work will restore peace, order
and submission to law. Idle men
who arc willing TO work, with
starving families, cannot be safely
controlled to the restraints which
the law imposes Toledo Democrat

A Reign of Terror.

A frightful record Of crime is
being made at the coal region of
Pennsylvania. Brutal murders are
OF daily occurrence, and the au-
thorities even fail to bring the
assassins TO trial. Six men have
been murdered and four brutally
assaulted within the past week, and
not a single arrest made. This is
but the beginning of the horrors
which are sure to shock the coun-
try during the winter now just
commenced. This condition of
things can only be traced to the
hard times and general debauchery
which prevade the country. The
evil disposition and bad passions
OF the most vile, which are held
In restraint by having all their
wants supplied by prosperity, and
which arc now developed by the
pinchiug stringency occasioned by
the scarcity Of money and want Of
employment will result in n carni-
val Of crime during the present
WATER. II was hard times that or

and want Of employment OCCASION
ed by the United States Bank, that
assembled an excited meeting Of
fifty thousand people, which en-
periled the peace Of Philadelphia,
in 1882, and it was hard times that
swept the Democratic party from
power in 1910. The present alarm
ing condition which exists ia the
coal mines is but a simple foretaste
OF what is to come, and there is
no way In which il can be averted

=. 1t is not wonderful that the
Philadelphia Ring is well supplied
with means to carry elections and
hire repeaters by the train load.
Within a few years under Ring
management, the city debt has in
creased from sl9,OOO,O0O to $780,
900, 900, and is still increasing at
the rate of 100000 annually. 1t
is believed that the rate of taxa
ton next year will be 3.25 upon
high valuation, which approx
mates 10 the rate of New Orleans,
Mobile, and Charleston, and Mack
ey's private Ring at Pittsburg is
equally extravagant. Pittsburg's
debt has grown from s2,500,0OO to
s12,O0O,O0O within four or five
years, and the rate of taxation is
approaching that of Philadelphia.

tration has arrogated great credit
to itself for its manner Of dealing
with foreign nations, and its par
tisan supporters have trumpeted the
praises OF its policy in this particu-

England, a party only interested
indirectly, has obtained full indem-
nifty for the outrages upon her
subjects, while the United States
has received PREPARATION in nc

dignities to which her citizens and
