miraculous cure.

Father Heinen. Catholic priest at
East Maueh Chunk, has published a card con-
corning the wonderful recovery of Miss Greth,
at that place. He says Miss Greth was called
out Of ecstasies by miraculous means. She
was deathly sick and restored completely. She
is now in perfect health. Miss. Greth's ecstasy
means the soul departed from the body. Faith
er Brennan, of Philadelphia, secretary to Arch
bishop Wood, informed a reporter that the
Archbishop did not intend taking action un-
less the excitement over the miracle was
pledged, in which case it is possible an explain
alton may be demanded of Father neinen of
his activity in the matter. According to Faith
Brennan the case of Miss. Greth is very far
from being miracle, and the priests conduct
is not considered as rejecting credit on him
sell or his office. If Father Henien said the
woman was not dead, nor yet in a trance, but
was living, though her soul had left her, the
priest was guilty of heresy.

The new river and harbor appropriation
bill as agreed upon by the House Committee
on Commerce, will appropriate much
larger sum than for any previous year. This
IA owing to the fact that no bill was passed
last year, so that the present bill will have
10 make appropriations for two years. The
South, however, comes in for very small
portion OF this money. The Ohio river gets
S3CO, 900, Kanawha $222,OoO: the Mississippi
river, above the Ohio, gets $9s4,Ooo. below
the Ohio $1s5,O0O Galveston harbor gets
100000, which ought to put. it In perfect
order.
The only appropriations in which Louisi-
ana Is interested are: Sabine pass $40, 600,

The overriding, day before yesterday, by
Nudge Monroe, OF the application by the
Mayor and Administrators for a rehear-
ing of the case OF the Southern Bank vs.
the city, furnishes the most favorable OPP
pOrtunity which has yetarisen for the serious
and prompt consideration by our city govern
ment OF the proposed adjustment of the con-
troversy between the the parties, to which
frequent reference las been made In these
columns.
It Is In truth the opportunity for such ad-
iustment. There can be little doubt In the
minds Of all thoughtful citizens, of the unan-
swerable demonstration by Judge Monroe OF
the sacredness and unimpeachable validity Of
this debt. The taxpayers very generally con-
cur In the conclusions OF the Judge, and desire
that some arrangement shall be made from
the standpoint Of the act OF 1852, which may
tighten the burden Of debt which Expresses
their property and industry. They hope also
that the authorities will embrace promptly
the most favorable opportunity for an adjust
mept. That opportunity, we believe Is now,
when the boadholders are In tho temper and
rendition to enter into such arrangement, and
before the litigation shall have proceeded to
the ultimate result of. the enforcement by jul
diclal authority Of their claim to its full scope
and In all It's possible consequences. There
are serious grounds to apprehend that the
postponement Of such settlement will render
It impracticable In the future, and bring up On
our city and taxpayers severer evils and bur
dens than have heretofore fallen on them. All
t0vnarionce ia In favor OF such settlement as
preferable to prolongation Of hopeless litiga-
ton. "Agree with thine adversary quickly"
is divine command which never had
stronger application than to this controversy.
Such, at least, we are satisfied in the senti-
ment Of the great body of the taxpayers OF
this city

The success of the Workingmen and Com
munists in late California elections has
naturally created considerable surprise in
view of the fact that California boasts of the
strongest and most gigantic corporations and
monopolies Of any State in the Union. The
Central Pacific Railroad alone is politically
strong enough to carry the day in that State.
and almost always determines the result of
an election. 1t is the corporations that have
made California elections 50 unreliable, un-
steady and uncertain; that explain how a
Republican majority of 1000 can be followed
within six months by a Democratic majority
Of 10000. The Indifference therefore, shown
by the great corporations at the success of
this new party has created surprise. The
corporations stood aloof in the late elections,
for the first time, observed strictly neutral
attitude and refused to assist either Of the
older parties with money or influence. AS
the platform of the Workingmen is "down
with monopolies," this conduct of the monop-
olies was regarded as extraordinary and
suicidal. But of late it has struck the mi nds
of the California politicians that perhaps
these monopolies are not such fools after
ALL and really understand what they are
doing. Their officers are shrewd politicians
of the 'every man has his price" school
They have had to buy up Legislators for
years, and expect to continue in the business
In future This purchasing of politicians is
very expensive, and prices are rising every
year. The operations, it seems are not op-
posed to the workingmens movement simply
because the men elected by this party being
lower in grade and poorer than the persons
elected by the other parties cost consequently
less to purchase. Ten votes OF the down
trodden" thus cost no more than one OF the
old guard SO, inasmuch as buying up mu-
nicipal officers, legislatures, ETC., has now be-
come regular annual charge against the
expenses Of all large corporations. the same
economy is to be practiced in that as In other
branches Of business, and the general rule is
followed: BUY the cheapest legislators. !"
Such. at least. is California explanation OF

This little parliamentary trick on the part Of

The English colony of Victoria. Australia, is

The English colony Of Victoria. Australia. is
Just now in state of anarchy and demon
alization, that may end In a revolution
and the separation OF the colony from Great
Britain. This anarchy was brought about by
conflict between the two legislative bodies
of Victoria, the Council and the Assembly.
The Council. corresponding to our Senate, is
aristocratic In its character and elected only
by freeholders; the Assembly ia elected by
manhood suffrage and Is Radical in politics.
These two bodies, differing emphatically in
politics, lately fell out over over petty ques-
tlon OF mileage and per diem. The Council re-
fused to pass an act providing for the pay
ment OF the members of the Assembly The
latter body was determined not to be beaten
by this refusal, and accordingly tackled the
appropriation for its pay to the general APP
preparation bill. The Council was equally
obstinate; it refused to give in, vetoed the
whole appropriation bill and left the province
without cent of money with which to carry
on its government. The Governor, in this
dilemma, discharged all officials, and the pro-
vince was consequently left without even the
semblance of government without officials,
police or army.
The result is anarchy and revolution. The
revolutionists are taking advantage of the
occasion to preach the most communistic
doctrines, and are winning over the populace
to their side by proposing that the gold fields
be thrown open to any person desiring to
mine in them. There being no police, no
officials of any kind, these proceedings can
not be prevented or stopped. The longer this
deadlock continues, the more and more I'M
promising the situation grows, and separa-
tion from Great Britain has even been sug-
Qested. The original questionable payment
81 the per diem and mileage Of the members
II the Assembly-has long since been lost
siOht OF, and what was originally petty
legislative squabble has become genuine
and threatening revolution.
Perhaps the lesson may not be lost on
American legislatures. These have lately
shown disposition to act as obstinately as
che Victorian Assembly, and to tack any
measures they desire to be carried out to the
anpropriation bill, so as to compel the other
branch of the Legislature and the Executive
n surrender to them or disband the govern
ment. This was the plan suggested by Butler
aome time since with reference to the silver
h;ll. ia case the Senate refused to pass it.
