The Republican Party NOT Yet f"ssed
into History
The New York Ereni1lg Post inelines
10 think that the obituaries OF The Repub-
Gcan party. which abound Just now, are
prematn, e, and states, in the following
iorcible way, its reasons Tor believing
that The party mas not Yet passed into
history;
..Why is it, then, that the Republican
party has lived until now, and that there
is doubt whether it will not live much
longer The reason is AS familiar rs IL
is simple: there has been aud there is
nothing To lake its place. Usually II Is
easy Tor the people, having lost comb
dence in one political organization, 10
transfer their faver and their votes 10
another. Almost always, while the par
Is in power has been undergoing di'ln-
tegralion and decadence, the party m
opposition has been renewing It's YOUTH
avoiding aud proiliug by the mistakes
of its rivals, and putting itseli IN posi-
ton To give the people what they could
not get from them. In American poli'ics
however, Tor the last fifteen years there
has not been such an opposition party
and it is by no means certain that there
Will be one lor an indefinite number oil
wears TO come. The Republicans have
remained in Office because there has
been nobody iii to succeed them. What
ever the reason. it is an indisputable tact,
that the people up 10 las, year refused 20
have ANYTHING to do with the Democrats.
Rather thaa take any risks with ihcm,
the people preferred to trust the R"p"0h
cans, with all their faults and iiiidres
Wo say Toe fact cannot be disputed.

pany OF Portland the report oil the condl-
ton OF the company showed liabilities
about $1,000 The value OF the assets
could not be definately fixed, but ranged

unanimously voted to leave The affairs OF

were requested to sell the property and
wind up the company as quickly and

The New York Tablet Catholic
has its Indignation much aroused by
the course of the Herald. II quotes
from II couple of articles in that paper,
one concerning the Church situation in
Belgium, the other about the SAN Mi
guel riots, declares the objectionable
features of the articles to be suggested
by Musons, and, after warning the
Herald that its course in regard to
Catholics will cause IL to be forbidden
in every Catholic amily-to which
end the Tablet will render most cheer
full assistance-it proceeds TO describe
Masonry and Masons in the following
thrilling terms:
Catholics know bnt too well that
there Is, throughout the world, II Grim
inal organization, the members nt
which are bound together by secret
oaths to reveal any Of whose secrets
involves certain assassination, and
every member OF which Is, at any
time, liable To be forced to become an
assassin. They know that this organi-
cation is jewish in its constitution
and ends, and they suspect II to he
chiefly manipulated by Jews that its
one object Is the destruction of that
church of which they are members,
and which they love with Il love sur
passing that of women /; that mankind
owe to IL the revolutions and disorders
which, initiated by the "age Of rca.
son, have ever since anticipated On
earth the anarchy of the internal
world and that they, in Particular owe
To IL the furious prosecutions their
brethren are enduring in Germany,
Switzerland and the South American
continent. They know, moreover,
that II lies under the heaviest exconl-
munlcations of the Church, that who
ever belongs to II, If he were Catho-
lie before, ceases to be one ipS0 .fdcto
10y the very fact ofbelonging to it; that
IL Is in fact, whatever IL may profess in
order to lure us to our ruin, the pledged
enemy of Christ, his Church, and his
vicar upon earth.
II IL not SO very long ago that II
member OF this society scarcely dared
to show his face in the streets in
this country. The secret assassination,
according to Its rules, of n popular olll-
Ger of the army had provoked the
deepest indignation of the public,
whom II has not rs yet demoralized.
Since then, IL has cropt on by It's dark
aud secret paths, perverting the deci-
sions of judges and verdicts of juries,
delivering criminals, thrusting its
members into offices and employment,
to such an extent that IL IL almost nee
essary In this city to belong to 1t to get
employment or promotion, until II has
been able, without fear, to marshal u
vast procession, aiterits eccentric FASH
ion, IN the public streets, and to rear
costly structure on u Jewish model for
the celebration of vs. grotesque and
childish ceremonies.
