lhe Tine Has Come.
New Era,


The time las arrived when it is no ex-
aggeratiOn to say that the very existence
OF t:ie Republican party depends upon its
publication from the corruption which has
grown up in our primary elections and has
ramified to some cxten. into our general
elections. = In few
eases honest efforts to bring the guilty to
justice failed either through inadequate
law Or the discovery that the household of
those casting the first stone was not with
out sin. The bosses, therefore, however
much they differ in other things, agreed
not to hurt each other, and their being no
independent organization to take up the
issue public justice went unvindicated.
Now we have ample law, and we will have
an organization that will mean business.
In its support we invoke the aid of every
Republican who thinks the time has come
to put stop to our annual carnivals of
fraud

LUTHERANIsAI IN AMERICA.
Some Valuable Compilations by a Lancas

S0x Ml0lStef.
In a recent article in the Lutheran Oh.

facts relating to the history of the Luth
eran church in America. Hero are few
The first Lutheran church edifice on this
continent was erected, probably in 1888,

killus was the first Lutheran minister in

dam, now New York, is by a Jesuit mis-
siOnary, Father Jogues, in the year 1643.
The first Lutheran church in the state of
Pennsylvania was erected at Tinicum,
Chester county, and was dedicated Sep
tember 4, 1916. A decree of Governor Stuy-
vesant enforcing conformity to established

COURT AND LAWYER.

Judge Elcock Abandons What He Starts to
| do.
Before Judge Elcock, in Philadelphia,
yesterday, there was tried a case in which
a man by the name of Mitchell tried to re
cover check, given by Mr.. Hazlehurst,
one Of the victims of the fraud practicetl
by rogue who passed himself off as
young Drexel. Detectives are suspicious
that the plaintiff, Mitchell, is the rogue
himself, Or an accomp!ice, and he fails to
put in IN appearance in court. The
counsel for plaintiff, Mr.. Hagert, having
referred to this yesterday, and Ransford,
for defense, having objected to Halle
hurst's testimony going in. the following
occurred:
"Oh I'm very sorry ironically re-
piled Mr.. Hagert. know lot of peo-
PIE who have warrants for him."
Mr.. Ransford was determined, however,
that Mr.. Hazlehurst' 8 testimony should be
kept out if possible. "We know what the
purpose of it is,'' he said. 1t is all bun
combe."
"WelI," rctorted Judge Elcock, "we
| are trying bunko case" He decided to
ground Of conspiracy. Ransford took an
objection.
Mr.. Hazlehurst had got about half way
through with the history of tho way in
| which he had been taken in when Mr..
Ransford again objected to the matter as
irrelevant. am in court representing

In view of the very general and
numerous reports of smallpox prevailing
over the country there seems to have
been nothing left for the national board
of health to do but to sound general
alarm. Communities which have yet
happily escaped its advent need to look
out to keep it out. A very small grain
of preventive is worth a ton of cure.
The large preponderance of medical tes-
timony favors vaccination, and people
are worse than negligent who do not
avail themselves of the present occasion
to indulge in it.

SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. 81. 1882
Bench and Bar.


The depreciation in the character of
men elected to judgeships naturally re-
suits in an increased restiveness and ag-
gression on the part of the bar, and Ere
quent unseemly collisions are the Sc
quence. Most generally lawyers forget
themselves and the respect they owe
the court, while judges, conscious of
their own shortcomings and their
inability to command the respect which
should attach to their Office, fail to en-
force the discipline that the contempt
calls for, and thus bench and bar are
lowered in public esteem. In Philadel'
phia it has happened that judges have
sometimes been chosen for their cOnSpic'
uous lack of judicial qualities rather
than their possession OF them ; and such
disagreeable incidents as we have re-
ferred to have not been uncommon
there, resulting from the inevitable de-
probation in which the elect to the
bench must often lie held by their late
associates at the bar. We have re-
peatedly had occasion to lefer to
Briggs's bumptiousness, and the
scene in Judge Elcock's court yesterda!
did neither him nor the lawyer whom HI
did not commit any credit. In mos
cases it is safe to say that judges gel
from the members of their bar just thu
degree of respect that their demeanor ell
titles them to, and nothing is so apt tt
make a lawyer forget the duties of hi:
profession as for a judge to fail to main
tain the dignity of his. The remarks Of
Judge Elcock were anything but judi
cial, and the conduct of the cOntemptu
Gus attorney was any but courteous
That the judge felt that he was wrong
may be inferred from his failure to carry
out what he started i'm to do !; and thu
lawyer, in insisting that he meant what
he said, was more consistent, if moi
more courteous, than the judge, who Ell
tered his rule and then fled from The
controversy that his own conduct llai
invoked.

CAUGHT AT LAST.

One Of 1hoso Who Assaulted the keIiers.
VIM. Bowers, one of the gang OF young
ruf1iaDs who assaulted Henry Keller in his
own store, on Church street, Christmas
eve, and who eluded arrest at the time by
giving leg bail, )" was arrested last night
at his home in Poplar street. Officer
Creamer knocked at the door, and, OIL
being admitted, asked if Bowers was at
home. One OF the women present said he
was not, though he had been there. The
officer said he would like to search the
house. Not the slightest objection was
made light was given to the officer and
he was told to go up stairs and
search every room If he chose to do 80.
The officer said he would first 60 into tho
cellar. Immediately the wOman's face
flushed up and they got deadly pale. The
officer grOped his way through the cellar
and finally saw Bowers crOuched ON the
upper step of the outside cellar door. As
the officer approached Bowers threw open
the cellar door and jumped almost into the
arms OF officers Swcnk and Stormfeltz,
who were waiting for HIM. He was taken
into custody, will be tried and no doubt
sent to Jail along with the other members
of the gang who were sentenced yesterday
and who, to save themselves, tried to
throw all the blame on Bowers.
Bowers's whereabouts we're discovered BY
a detective whom the officers had employ
ed to sit in court among the relatives and
friends Of the gang. As soon as sentence
had beeu passed on his companions, one
of Bowers's friends was hurried out Of
court to carry the news to him, and tell
him to skip, the messenger being informed
that he would find Bowers in the cellar.
The detective overheard the remark and
notified the police, and the arrest was
succe ssfully ACCOMPLISHED.
