A touching scene may be witnessed every
Sunday in Herne, town situated In the
mining districts Of Westphalia. The pastor OF
tho Catholic colony, by whose e1ersion
church had been built for the poor miners, wac
called to his eternal reward about year ago.
The Bishop of PaderbOrn promptly flled the
vacancy, but the new parish priest was sept
into exile by the Prussian tyrsnt. The faith
ful are now assembled every Sunday and holy
day and hold divine service as we'll as they
can The main altar is deserted; the taber-
nacle without the Blessed Sacrament, is open,
like tabern acles on Good Friday. About six
feet from the main altar temporary altar has
been erected Its chief ornament is o picture
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Two altar boys
are kneeling at the steps of this altar, and q
large assembly of the faithful are filing the
aisles. A miner, standing near the pulpit,
reads the prayers for Mass, in German. An
other ascends the pulpit, and after reading
the Gospel of the day, reads an explanation
thereof written by the exiled pastor, which il
sent every week by mail. Then the organ
plays and the entire congregation join il
those beautiful German hymns which hAv
found their way even into the New World. A
the moment the Conservation 10 supposed t
take place, o little bell lie rung, and all boz
thor heads in deep reverence IS II q real Mas
was being said. When the prayers for Mas
are finished, q litSny is said and hymn sun
before leaving the church. Nothing, says 9
eyewitness, can equal SuOh scene. Will
in simplicity it reminds Ms of children sayiI
Mass in their toy ohapels, the sOlemnity of Il
occasion, the fervor and piety of these bra
Germans, equal that of the early Christians
the Roman CatAcombs.

on earth which has celebrated eighteen Cente-

The Nominations.
terest.

The names of Tilden and Hendricks fall
melodiously upon Southern ears. They
sound like friendly echoes of the olden
times, when a political contest carried no
significance of sectional hate and when no.
body looked forward to the success of one
party as a. rescue from impending persecu-
tons and ruin. The question with the South
now is not one Of Democracy-iti is one of
existence. The South looks to the Northern
Democracy as that section of victorious
population which is influenced by senti-
ments Of humanity, justice and brotherly
regard towards former enemy, in con-
trast with that other section of the same
population which still burns with anger,
still pants with the desire of revenge, and
still favors the policy of virtually keeping
up the war.
In this way all the South is Democratic !;
in this way the MORNING STAR is, without
any qualification, in favor of the election
of Tilden and Hendricks. This paper is not
q party organ it takes NO part in politics.
But it is Southern paper and an organ Of
humanity in general. It would not be slow
to express its adherence and indignation
at the sight of q community in the most
distant regions of the world treated with
the same barbarity and brutality as those
which have characterized the government
of the United States in its dealings with
these Southern States since the pretended
declaration of peace.
Grant with lying lips said. "Let there be
peace, when he meant hatred, war, destruc-
ton. The election of Tilden will be
peace" With the defeat of Hayes the
Republican party must become extinct. It s
party based on sectional antagonism-one
which must always contain the seeds of a
fatal weakness. Such party is sure to fall
In the frat lull of passion, because it must
necessarily combine against it the whole OF
the prescribed section and all the virtuoue,
the generous and the wise of its own sec
ton. Once fallen, the Republican party Of
war traditions can never revive, because II
will never find again the opportunity Of g
captive section with it's hands tied.
When the vile and bloody monster OF 6
sectional party shall have once disappeared
it will be found that good men will again, q
of old, divide in their ideas of public policy
and form two national parties. They viii
not all be obliged to be Democrats. In or
binary times Democracy means individua
rights as contrasted with municipal power
now Democracy is identical with Humanity

As an illustration of the great loss in rail-
road Investments, it is mentioned that the
bonded debt of the railroads of Missouri is
abeut $50 600 600, the annual interest on which
is about 81 900 600. Their total net earnings
are 90. 500 900; so that the interest on their

leaving only about s2.soO.Ooo as the entire

1t appears from the debate in the House on
the army appropriation bill that if proper
economy was used the army could be kept at
the old strength C25. 600 men) without appro-
priatng more than $25,OOO.oOo. The British
army of las, 900 men costs SIS, OOO.0 900 year.
The French army of (peaCe fOoting) AL, 600
costs $ss, O0O, 600 q year. The following figures
show the cost of our own army:

lSIS-I4.- 1S,oIS'SSd 10
The army was reduced by the Forty-third
Congress from 10000 to $4,000 men, but the
expenses increased. Comparing the figures
with the cost of the English and French
armies, it will be seen that those governments
manage to keep up very efficient military eS-
Establishments with a great deal less money than
we have spent, considering the difference in
the size of the armies. Belknap, for the en-
suing fiscal year, had the face to ask 457 49,.
As9 II for the military service, which in France
would maintain an army of 25O, 900 men.

~. w. K. Criticized. =

ED. JOTRNAL:-A communication
appeared in your paper last week
sighed ssy. w. X" which commu-
nication wish to offer a few COM
ments upon. Now, Mr.. Editor, Nv.
w. X.n will no doubt smile as he
reads the above sentence and get
his exceedingly grammatical wits to
work to find grammatical error.
But If ii is an error, how can 1T be
grammatical? "V. w. X" would
find fault with the sun, thinking
that ifthe Almighty had given him
the Job he could have made one
without any spots upon 1T. English
Grammar is the science and art of
speaking and writing the English
language according to established
usage-that is, the usage of the best
speakers and writers. Has "V. w.
X.n ever read any of our best speak
ers and writer's? i find nothing
ungrammatical in anything he has
quoted from Mr.. Yetters article.
Language Is modified in its
structure, style and ntterance by the
use of figures. A figure is a licensed
departure from the ordinary struc-
ture or use of a word in sentence.
Figures are employed to give
strength, beauty, or melody TO language.
Pyeondsn allows the introduction of
words not necessary to complete the
grammatical construction of a sem
tence." Mr.. Yetter is accused OF the
hideous crime of using pleonasm in
the sentence following: Particular
attention will be given to the COM
mon branches, or those taught In
the State.n Comment is unneces-
sary.
Here is another sentence the wise
critic finds fault with: "Prof. Axline,
principal of the Normal School at
Bloomfield, has been appointed con-
ductor, who will be assisted by COM
petent and experienced teachers"
etc. The relative "who" he says is
separated too far from its antecedent.
conductor" is the antecedent Of
"who." But suppose you make
"Prof. A. Axline' the antecedent,
and then try to arrange the sentence
so as to bring the relative and ante
cedent closer together. You would
have a very awkward sentence as
any grammar class of ten-yearolds
could readily see. "School ethics
merits the attention, and strictly, Of
every teacher, and will be the prom
inent subject for discussion" is a
very good sentence. Gould Brown,
himself, pardon my pleonasm "V.
w. KIN could not object to it. If
you cannot analyze that sentence
you had better go back to school
awhile.
He who attempts to be hypercrit-
ical should himself be above criti-
clSm. Teachers, what DO you mink
of this from the pen of our critic.
"Why not take this sentence for
the subject, or better still the entire
document. TO analyZe it would
tax the ingenuity of our best teach
ers." To analyze what? What is
the antecedent of "it." Is ii not
rather obscure Mr.. "V. w. X?"
would advise you to try your
hand correcting the writings of
Dickens, Ruskin, Carlyle, Emerson
and Bret Hart. Go now and read
