LAST WEDNESDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY
or LENT and which is known as Ash
"Wednesday, was called by the fathers Of
the church caput j,iunii, the beginning Of
the fast, or dies ctneruDa, ash day. IN allu-
sion to the custom of sprinkling the head
with ashes. In the Roman Church ON this
day, the priest marks the sign Of the cross
with ashes on the foreheads of the people
repeating the words, Memento, homo. quod
pulv:s es. ct in pulverem rev-rteris-" Re
member, man, that thou art dust, and that
unto dust thou shalt return The obser-
vances of the day in Catholic and Episcopal
churches is always marked with special
services. The days Immediately preceding
Ash Wednesday were formerly known as
Shrovetide. because on them, aud especially
the last Of them, people were wont To con
fess their sins As a preparation for Lent
Shrovetide, or confession tide, comprised a
whole week in some countries. In most
Roman Catholic countries it began on the
Sunday before Lent. While the ancient
peuitcntlaI canOns were IN Slgor, all adults
were enioined to present themselves to the
bishops and priests. i'll order that private
psuitents might be shriven in private and
assigned a day for receiving communion,
and the public penitents might be instructed
as to what they should do to be reconcied
at Easter. The practice continued sub
stantially long after public penance had
fallen into disusc. 1t is mentioned in the
homilies of Aelfrie as being in force in
England in the tenth century. Shrovetide
soon become 4 season of fasting and mer-
riment, especially the TUESDAY before Ash
Wednesday, which has long been called
Shrove Tuesday. The day is known in
France and in portions of America as Mard
Gras fat Tuesday Shrove Tuesday is
also popularity called Pancake Tuesday.
from the common practice OF eating pan
cakes on this day, the use of eggs having
been formerly forbidden during Lent.

THE ARMY BILL.

The democrats have perfected a new
bill amending the law authorizing the
use of troops at election polls. The bill
bears preamble which states the object
ions to the use of troops at the polls.
And then states that it shall be unlawful
to bring or employ troops at any general
or special election, unless to repel armed
enemies of the United States or to pre-
serve the states from domestic violence
This will be passed as aseparate measure.
Ii is so framed as to obviate the object
ions urged against the late bill vetoed by
Hayes. He cannot consistently veto
this bill. To do so would be to manifest
such audacious craftsmanship as to startle
the stalwarts themselves.
Meanwhile the republican caucus has
decided to oppose the bill to the utmost.
They do not base their objections on the
dement's of the bill. but somehow this
is another effort to coerce the president.
It Is strange that coercion" should
mean the presentation of bill so entire
y unobjectionable that the president
without oUtraging propriety cannot re-
fuse to give his approval. 1t would
seem that the republicans think their
president should SO exercise his power
as to veto every bill introduced and sup
ported by democrats, and approve every
bill which is the product of republican
labor. The president is coerced If the
democratic congress act upon his object
ions and SO remodel bill as to deprive
it of these features which prevented it
from receiving executive approval.
Republicans, while opposing the bill
acknowledge the likelihood of its receiv-
ing the presidents signature. What
object have they then in factious oppo-
sition, which cannot be successful and
which prolongs a session that every one
is anxious to see terminated? Opposition
that can result in no good and which
impedes legislation, if not "revolutiona-
~" is unpatriotic. This twaddle Of pa
triotism which republican congressman
indulge in SO freely should be backed by
some little sincerity. The people have
begun to suspect them of hypocrisy, and
have grown weary of their empty boasts
and ceaseless, warlike pother.
