The Manliness of Christ. By Thomas Hughes
Boston: Houghton, Osgood & Coz This lit
tie volume consists essentially of eight essays
on the manliness of Christ, as shown in the rec
ords of his earthly life; there is also an intro
ductory and a closing essay, not foreign to the
theme. 1t is all written in the style of manly
common sense, which made the authors Tom
Brown so great favorite. The only adverse
criticisms which any of "our esteemed con-
temporaries" have made in noticing the book,
have arisen from an inattention to the intro
ductory statement. Mr. Hughes believes that
in Christ there was power more than human,
SO guiding and strengthening him that he
could set before the world the perfect ideal
after which men should aim. If this be so
he says, then free, fearless but truthful, rev.
erent analysis Of his character, as if of an ordi-
nary man, ought to find in it manly courage;
manly. wise moral courage, in perfection,
Divesting himself therefore, as far as possible.
OF his peculiar Christian faith, he takes up the
narrative and examines it with rational free
dom; giving series OF grand and most attrac-
tive pictures of the great prophet of Nazareth;
and only occasionally throwing in word to
show how strong is the evidence tn at He was
more than prophet.
If we were disposed to find any flaws in the
book, we should merely point out two or three
instances in which there is an implied m:sin-
depreciation of some single word in the New
Testament; only showing that Mr.. Hughes is
not, (and he does not profess to be) thoroughly
learned in exegetical studies. In his analysis
of the spirit of Jesus we believe he is entirely
right; and his little book cannot fail to arouse
manly moral courage in the reader. T. II.

THE UNIT RULE.
A Device to Suppress the Popular WI

A Device to Suppress the Popular VIII.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Speaker Randall is not in favor of the
unit rule in political conventions, and has
written letter to say SO. Speaker Ran
dali is quite right in publicly declaring
his opposition to political rule, the Ope-
ration of which is to stitle the expression
of popular opinion and to make the "ma-
chine" stronger than the people. Every
district should not only have the right to
choose its delegates, but to say how they
should vote, for delegates are the direct
representatives Of the common sentiment,
and if they are compelled to submit to the
dictation of a majority Of a convention,
controlled by political q" bosses,' as the
late conventions at Harrisburg and Utica
were controlled, the people are debarred
from declaring their will OF preference.
The unit rule is the invention of the ''ma-
chine" and if it is to be recognized as a
thing of good policy, it will be the sheerest
folly either to choose delegates or hold
conventions. In fact, if it is to become
the political law the people may as
well understand now as later that they
are to have no part or share in the
election of their public servants, that all
that work will be done for them by
the "bOsses.'' The unit rule is the device
of the men who are now demanding ga
strong man," ga strong government, "
and it implies the recognition by the peo-
pie of the absolute personal domination of
those who control the machinery of poll
tics. 1t is not the people, nor those who
pay the taxes, support the government,
fight it's battles and cast the votes who are
to say under this unit rule who is to be the
presidential choice of the great state of
Pennsylvania, but Senator Cameron.

"Tile Kerry Cow"

That talented Irish comedian, Mr. Joseph
Murphy, supported by the same strong
cast that accompanied him Oh his previous
visit to Lancaster this season, appeared
at Fulton opera house last night, in
Fred Marsden's charming Irish comedy
of "The Kerry Cow" the audience being
of fair numbers, but not at all COM
mensurate with the merits of the
performance. The favorable impress
sion, Mr.. Murphy created on the
former occasion by his finished acting
and rollicking humor was strengthened by
his work last evening, and the remainder
of the cast kept things at such All even bal
ance that discrimination is rendered un-
necessary and distinction invidious. Suf-
flee it to say that the audience was
thoroughly satisfied, the stage set
tings were OF the same realistic
character that marked the former
production of the piece here, while
the pretty cOnceit was enhanced by the
presence of the trained doves, and the
young "gow'' in the kerry forge, which
latter was most admirably constructed
scene. To such as enjoy the music of a
rich Irish brogue, and the wit and humor
SO characteristic of the Green Isle, the
play of ''The Kerry Cow" must prove
rich treat. 1t is in truth pure Irish
play without whisky, priest or shillaleh." !"

4 Precedent.

Judge PatterSon'S performance in
summarily proceeding against lawyer
editors for newspaper comments on a
case which was ended and with which
they had no professional connection is
not altogether unprecedented us had
been supposed. The precedent, albeit,
neither in its inception nor conclusion
affords any satisfaction to those who are
disposed to concede to judges a power
that has been denied them by every
court of last resort that has ever adju-
dicated the question in this country or
in England.
In Schuyikill county, some years ago,
an Irishman was convicted of stealing five
hundred dollars from drunken compan-
ion and sentenced to somewhere about
two months in Jail. The same Judge
Walker who sentenced him, at the same
sessions, sentenced half-grown negro
boy to term of several months longer
imprisonment, for the larceny of an old
pair of shoes. The Erening Chronicle, in
noticing the matter, said something like
this. more than which it might have said
very justly:
Theory and Practice.
Theory: All men are equal in the eyes
of the law. Practice T.: In Schuylkill
county, life-sized Irishman con-
victed of stealing five hundred dollars, is
sentenced to two months Imprisonment.
A half-grown negro convicted of stealing
an old pair of shoes, is sentenced to four
months imprisonment.
Judge Walker found out that the
Chronicle, in the absence of its editor,
had been left in charge of a member of
"his bar Fergus Z. Farauahr, esq.,,
and forced the local editor by threats to
disclose Mr.. Farquahr as the author of
the above paragraph. In a few days he
directed rule on Mr.. Farquahr to show
cause why he should not he punished for
a breach of his oath of fidelity to the
court and for misbehavior in his office as
attorney, in making and publishing this
reflection on the impartiality with which
justice was dispensed in Walkers court.
Almost the entire bar of PottSville re-
sented the preceding, and the judge was
forced to file an affidavit upon which to
base his rule, like other claimants in his
court. Dispositions were taken which
proved the truth of the article. Argu-
ment was had, the district attorney pre-
senting Walkers side of the case pro
fornla and the result was that the
judges colleagues, Judges Pershing and
Green, refused to take any cognizance of
Mr.. Farquahr's alleged offense. Walker
retreated, and from that day to this
nothing further has been said or done in
in the matter officially by the courti
Even the INTELLICENcER's quest for
the paoers failed, as they have mys-
teriously disappeared thr ough influences
which it at least may he inferred were
not friendly to Mr.. Farquahr.
