. The EroAniner and other Republican
papers profess to regard Judge Black as
high authority concerning Garfeld's fit
ness for the presidency, and parade daily
before their readers a single sentence of
Judge Blacks letter to Col. Mcclure,
torn from the qualifying context. 1t
will not be expected that our contempo-
rary will republish the Press reporters
interview with Judge Black but can it be
induced to print Judge Blacks "b butts"
side by side with his I" IFS ?" Here are
few of both:
"IF
he will carry tho principles which regu-
late his private life into his public con-
duct, he would make the best chief mag
istrate we have ever had"
"BUT,
in politics he gives to his party the key
to his conscience" "at his party's COM
mand he would help on the oppression
and brutal policy against the South"
" l heard him declare that no officer of the
army could trample on the constitution
without laying perjury on his soul, and
yet he went went into the House at the
direction of his party, struck down the
constitution and insulted the corpse by
kicking it."
there is man in this country who Is AL
anti-protectionist, that man is Garfield.
1 know it, and I know he stood up for
his principles in his own district when
was urged to declare himself. He said
he was not protectionist, and though
they might vote against him he would
stand on his convictions"
BUT,
he allowed " his devotion to party to
overcome his personal convictions. Why,
don't you remember that Garfield was
put on the ways and means committee
to balance Kelly-an anti-protectionist
against protectionist ~
"IF
General Garfield would carry his private
convictions into his political action, he
would he rs good Democrat rs I am u
BUT
81 was afraid of that-afraid he would
| allow his devotion to party to overcome
his personal convictions"

OLD PEOPLE


A remarkable coincidence is afforded i'm
thedeaths of three old men within distance
of four miles of each other and in tho i'm
mediate vicinity Of their birth and so near
one age. Such is the case in the recent
death of Daniel Leftover, Henry Keen and
Jos. ..Shaub, in the neighborhOOd Of Quar-
ryville. Mr.. Lefever was a month less
than IS years old, Mr.. Keen was a
tritle over Is and Mr. Shaub few weeks
moro than Is. Mr.. Lefcver, the youngest,
died first, and Mr.. Shaub, the Oldest, died
latest.
At the funeral of Mrs. Ella Blanche
Raub ON Tuesday, at tho church in New
Providence were Hon. John Strohm aged
"a; Simon Croft %; and Mrs. Peoples
grandmother Of the deceasedD 81; all
these old folks seem to be active and in
good health. Both Mr.. StrOhm and MIR.
Croft are of still active minds and do con-
siderable business yet. Mrs. Peoples is
very remarkable woman and her COM
munity has no member respectable and
beloved.

VOTERS should attend to the payment
of their taxes themselves. Some courts
of the state hold that this is essential and
that the tax paid by committees is void
and will not entitle the holder Of such re-
ceipt to vote. It is only fair and patri-
otic, as well as reasonable precaution,
for voters to attend to this duty for
themselves. The collector for this city
sits nightly to receive taxes and every
voter should visit. him and get his own

Judge Bredin, Of Butler, soms years
ago, disbaETed Lawyer John 81. Thompson
for perjury. Mr.. Thompson's course since
then has been regarded as honorable and
upright. A majority Of the members Of
the bar think he has been sufficiently pun
ished, and that he should be restored to
fellowship. Such q motion was ably
pressed by Judge Candles, Col. Thomp-
son and others. Protests came from some
members Of the bar, and among the rea-
sons why he should not be restored was
that tho reputation Of the bar had become
80 bad that people In Pittsburgh were COM
PEELED to write to the ministers Of Butler
in order to find the name Of an honest
lawyer. Judge Bredin held tho matter
under advisement.

To tho Old Testament student the origi-
MI Hebrew reading is invaluable. History
u painted in it the eye sees rather than
the ear hears. The past is q panorama.
Current questions of Biblical criticism
make the study Of Hebrew all-impOrtant
at this time. An accurate acquaintance
with Hebrew Is tho best armor for the bat
tie for the Divine inspiration of the Scrip
lures. He who meets the rationalistic
critics on linguistic grounds will achieve
victory.
For comparative purposes tho other Sem
tito languages merit study. They arc all
closely connected and q knowledge of the
others greatly aids Hebrew Investigations.
They have still higher valuo as embody-
ing q literature that affords material aid to
the historical Interpretation of the Old
Testament. The commentators rely for
much help ON the Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic
and Ethiopian. The disputed genuinencss
Of Isaiah's oracle against Moab.,in chapters
XIV. and xvi. was settled by 4 stone found in
1868 in tho land of Moab, erected by Mesha,
king of Moab, nine centuries before tho
Christian era, the Moabitic inscriptions ON
which differed only dialectically from the
1 AAouIoW VI Tic DlDlc. AuO pcCuIl1C WOIOS,
l forms and readings OF Isaiah's oracle, which
gave rise to doubts of its authenticity, arc
now seen to have been his intentional imi-
tatiOn Of the language of Moab. The Old
Testament is only fragment Of more
! extensive Hebrew literature that has per-
ished and the most comprehensive study
| of the Semitic will greatly aid tho Biblical
student.
After the address, which was listened to
! with marked interest, the usual announce
ments were made for some of the classes,
and others deferred until Monday when
the curriculum will have been fully ad-
justed.
Thirty-twO new students enter college
this year, of whom one joins the senior

stitutc the freshman class.
The academy which turned eight stu
dents into college, begins the new year
auspiciously with about fifteen accession.

POLITICS IN SADSBURY.

Republican Char to Keep Voters In Line.
MEssRs. EDITORS In the Lancaster In
Quirer, of 21st inst, VIC noticed an item to
the effect that sit is reported" that a
"well-known Democrat" of salisbury
had said "he hoped to God the day would
come when the South would rulo the
NOrth.'
This item is fair representation of tho
argument used by tho Republican politi-
clans of tho township, and savors highly Of
the nquirer's peculiar style. Studied mis-
representations, carefully planned scan
dals and blasphemous names appear to be
the arguments advanced by both. The
item referred to has been reported and
published with the evident intention to
carry the idea that the sentiment express
ed is representation of the Democracy OF
Salisbury.
That all interested may fully understand
the writer has found tho "well-known
Democrat" whose denial and explanation
should be heard to show tho truth and how
desperate must bc tho cases of this small
fry class Of politicians. In a controversy
Republican politician charged that the
rebels were clamorous for power, etc., and
that Charles II. Buckalew was rebel
This well-known Democrat" retortcd,
81 hope to God may see the day wher
such men rs Charles r. Buckalew may
rule"
The Democrats of Salisbury believe that
the 18th, 18th and 18th amendments to the
constitution have settled forever tho ques
tions of slavery, payment of rebel deb,
and the disfranchisemcnt of the colored
man.
They accept the supreme law of the lane
as moro reliable than the statements o
parties whose bread and butter can only
be forthcoming by Republican supremacy
They accept the guarantee given by
General Hancock in his letter of accept
ance that there will be no slavcry-no pay
| mcnt for slaves or rebe! debt, and that thu
solored man shall enjoy the elective fran
chiss that no part of tho constitution
0iAosAA w vAOAssGSsa, Gust sNuy iSIIotupI bO uc
stroy the Union will be promptly rcpelled
They have the same faith in Genera
Hancock to-day as when he was at Gettys
| burg and these Republicans were busil,
moving chattels and selves to Stcclcvill,
| Hills.
They know they will be supported il
the belief that Charles r. Buckalew wa
no rebol by tho independent Rcpublica,
vote given him in Salisbury during his can
didacy for governor. This flattering tes
timonial is evidence that the "weil-knowl
Democrat" but too we'll expressed the sen
timent of the thinking Republican and no
| of the unreasonable partisan.
They know that those who CONSTANT,
charge bulldozing arc the bulldozer
Of salisbury. They know that TIN
shower Of abuse cast On tho man!
Republicans of salisbury who will vot'
for General Hancock is evidence tha
a second Buckalcw is to bc encoun
tered that calling names is not argument
and has no weight with those who thinl
and act acithout Instructions hoo to act ant
think, and lastly they rejoice that the da,
is so near when the American people viii
thank God that with Hancock the Who'll,
country will have peace and each ant
every individual enjoy and obey the con
stitutiOn and tho laws. SALISBURY.
