STOP THIEF!
Alleged Horse Stealing.


On Monday morning James s. Ecknian,
inn-kecper Of DrumOre Centre. hired u
horse and buggy from Thomas HoughtOn.
liveryman of this city, to drive to Drumore
Centre, with the understanding that Eek
man should return the horse tine same
evening. He did not do so, however, and
Mr.. HOughtOn hearing nothing from him
up to Tuesday evening determined to look
after his missing team. In company with
Samuel Urban he drove down towards Dru-
more, and found Eckman at Charlcs's
Pequea Valley tavern, and asked him why
he had not returned the team according to
promise. Eckman said he did not know
where the team was !; that some person had
stolen it and driven off with it while he
(Eckman) was at the hotel. Some Of the
women of the house said thay saw 4 man
take tho team and drive towards the Buck.
IIOushton and Urban thereupOn followed
in that direction, thinking the thief might
be making for COnOwingo bridge. He was
Overtaken near Hickory Grove, DrumOre
township, and when asked who he was,
and where he was going, and whose team
he was driving, became very impcr-
tinent. HOughtOn then ordered Urban
to arrest him, which was accordingly
done, and he and the team were
brought ON to Lancaster. He proved
to be a man named John Given, and de-
clared that the team was loaned him by
Eckman, and that he was going to return
it very soon. IIe was locked up in the
station house.
This morning Eckman called at Hough-
toms stable, and l,c too was arrested and
locked up at the station house. He denies
Given's story and declares the team was
stolen from him.
The time for the hearing Of the case has
not yet been fixed.

In the excitement and interest of the
presidential contest it should be steadily
borne in mind by Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis that they have special contest
of their own of great importance, with
tremendous issues staked on its result,
in this campaign. The personal excel
lence of their candidates for the impOr-
tant offices of supreme Judge and auditor
general is a fit subject of self-congratula-
ton by the Pennsylvania Democracy,
while their platform is declaration of
principles pregnant with truth of most
vital moment to the people of this COM
mOnwealth. The Infamous pardon of
the riot bill bribers presents square,
living state issue on which the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, on the whole, are on
one side as plainly as the Republicans, as
a party, are on the other. In this central
city of the greatest Republican county
in the state, the Republicans have COM
mitted themselves by instructing their
legislative nominee to the support for the
United States Senate of the head and
front of all offending in this legislative
bribery and rooster" pardon business.
This is an issue that concerns the integ-
rity and honor of the commonwealth,
and the people of our state will be apt to
give it due weight in November.
THE Republican national platform
makes what Hdrper's Weekly calls this
clear and admirable" deliverance on
the question of states rights and federal
powers
"The constitution of the United States
tract out of confederated states it made
sovereign nation. Sope powers are de-
MED to the nation, while others are denied
to the states; but the boundary between
the powers delegated and those reserved is
to be determined by the national and not
by the state tribunals"
Much clearer and much more admira-
BILE is the Democratic doctrine enunci-
ated by the constitution itself: " The
powers not delegated to the United States
by the constitution nor prohibited by it
TO the states are rcscrred to the states
respectively or to the people," This
is the sheet anchor Of popular
liberty, the breakwater against en-
croachments 10y the party that may
happen to be in power. Under the opera.
tions of the Republican dogma it would
he altogether possible for a party in
power to get up a supreme court to suit
itself and then legislate the states out OF
existence and vote away the rights OF
the people.

Hebrew Artists.

Two artists, and two only, are men
