The Centre 4rmutrat,
The RepubIican Party's Future.
ELLEFO ONTE, p A.


With the Lincoln Administration
the Republican party first acquired
prominence and power, and by com
bination of circumstances it was called
upon to do its best work ut the begin.
ming of its career. To it were attached
many able men and accomplished
statesmen, who sooner or later lost
their influence with the party and be-
came detached from its support.
1t is very significant fact that
with the single exception of one whose
absence was requested and who left in
rather bad odor, every member OF
Lincoln's original Cabinet became an
tagonist to and lett the party. Gree
ley, Summer, F,s-cnden, Trumbull,
Adams, and that class of men were
denounced, and totally different class
of men came to the front and assumed
control.
From that time forward, while adj
vcnturous politician, have been rush
ing to its standard, the better element
of the party-thc men who gave it
character and Standing have been
leaving it.
Give the Republican party credit
for all the goot 1t may hayr accom-
plished aud still thcr" follows long
accountability, such, for instance as
The Bo.- shepherd hmg frauds IN
the District of Columbia
The safe burglary In'luIly.
The whIskey frauds, reaching 10 the
White House.
The Freedman Bank swlndIo,
The Bclknap impeachment.
The ltobes3n naval frauds.
The Sanborn frauds.
The Indian Bureau frauds.
The Pension bureau frauds.
Inc Black Friday Ta-ca.'ty.
The THEFT OF the Presidency ~ I''".
The Indiana bribery IN 1850.
And the star route frauds, not To
mention long hsto. other offences,
any one Of which ought to and would
overthrow any other political party
that ever existed i'm this country.

The Restoration OF Hand Work.

When the handicraftsman begins q crusade
against the vast forces Of machinery and capi-
tai it seems like the widest dream of vision
airy to suppose that he can como off con-
querer; but it is actually true that hand
work in all departments of art--that is art in
its comprehensive term-is reasserting itself,
aud waging good fight with its enemy, ma
chinery. The United States has not pro-
gressed far enough in art to inaugurate n
movement, but it is the aptest of pupils, and
has quickly accepted the decision just reached
in Europe that hand work is infinitely
preferable to machine work in most Of the
arts The hand workers have been battling
for forty years for their lost prestige, but
when hand work became the fashion
the victory was practically won. The apos-
ties of this creed are artists and women The
taking away of the loom from women was
followed by the loss Of the needle. Sewing
became one of tho lost arts, and the coarse
hand sewing of a generation back Women
flew to the sewing machine as to magic ser.
want that was to do all their work for them,
They found out that the sewing machine was
not only intensely laborious in itself, but it
introduced in dress tawdTy overlooking OF
trimming that was infinitely more fatiguing
to make than the simpler costumes that pre-
vailed before sewing machines were known.
Then, to fill up neir time, they were reduced
to an odious and tasteless fancy work. They
did not realize that there was more
genuine artistic work in a fine cambrlC
handkerchief, hem.stitched by hand,
than in the hideous afghans and
tides with which they idled away their
lives Now, change has come about, A

IT IS with no little satisfaction THE RE-
PUBLICAN this morning announces that the
prompt and excellent work thus far accom-
plished in the detective matter is to be pushed
vigorously and without delay. At long
consultation held yesterday between the
attorney general and Col, Corkhill it
was determined TO employ special coun-
sel for the government and proceed
with the cases at once, In designating Mr.
II. II. Wells as Col. Corkhill's assistant, tho
attorney general has not only acted with ad-
mirable judgment, but insured a careful and
earnest prosecution, Mr., Wells has acted as
counsel for the citizens committee, aud to
his acuteness and zeal the good re-
suits thus far reached are largely
attributable. He has the cases at his fingers
ends, and his best interests are enlisted in
the work Col. Corkhills time has been and
is SO filled with the mass of business that has
accumulated during the star route trials that

IT is certainly very unjust to those gentle
men who wanted to see Secretary Folger
"just for moment" before he left town,
that he should have left his residence without
any accompanying brass band, or any brazen-
throated herald to announce his progress
We could have wished better things of the
Judge; and having stood by him at all times,
even to the extent of telling friends that they
could not get appointments from him simply
for the asking, we did cherish the hope that
he would never have made q movement
without having it announced through the
columns of this journal. However, II secre-
tary Of the treasury will go out of the city
without notifying applicants for office, and
agents for claims, we believe the public will
allow us to say to him in its behalf, "Come
back and all will be forgiven;" and we go
further, and say that the country will be
glad to learn that he did go, and that he got
away undisturbed, and that all will hope for
his rest to bring health and strength to him
again.

possibility. 1t was in recognition Of this
fact that the employment Of special counsel
was suggested and tho choice of Mr.. Wells
agreed upon. There will he no trihing in the
matter Not only will the cases be pushed,
but the new grand jury will take the matter
up where tho former grand jury had to drop IT,,
so that other indictments will in all proba-
bilty be added to the forty-three already
reported. There is reason to expect that
within a very few weeks tho people of the
district will have the satisfaction of seeing a
batch of their late detectives cracking stone
in company with the thieves they once pro-
tected.

THE bourbon organs boldly attempt to JUS
tify their ISLANDERS of political opponents by
declaring that the latter justify and defend
conduct which they earnestly condemn.
They charge federal executive interference in
state elections by the use of patronage, and
when they arc latly contradicted and chal-
lenged to The proof they inform their readers,
who have not seen the denial, that the charge
is admitted instead of denied and the acts
charged defended instead of condemned. This
is very easy, but very unfair.

hand painted or hand embroidered dress Is
the perfection of elegance. Rich women toll
crate nothing but hand sewing on any Of
their garments. In house decoration, which
has been the salvation Of the women Of this
decade, a woman must be able to show some
of her own handiwork in order to hold up
her head among her neighbors. Beneath all
the nonsense about cat tails and sun flowers,
there is a solid bed rock Of common sense. 1t
requires thought and labor TO embroider
sunilowers and to collect cat tails; It in
spires an interest in the homo which all the
resources Of the upholster's art fails to
awaken; it is means to an end. Nor is the
good effect of revival of hand work con-
fined to the rich and leisurely; IL is
the freeing of the workingman and wo,
man and the restoration of their ancient
individuality and independence There is n
great difference between a skillful hand-
craftsman and the mere tender of spindle
or wheel. The workman becomes creator
instead of component part of vast ma
chine. The promotion of independent work
among the dense population of Europe helps
to keep at bay the wolf of socialism. An indie.
pendent worker, no matter how humble he is,
is no mans slave, but is his own master.
The question has never come home to us in
its most important guise. Our workmen are
not ensaved as the workmen of other coun-
tries, and it is more wholesome revival in
the way of art than a social question; but tho
gradual emancipation of men from the
tyranny of steam and machinery is a hopeful
sign for the great army of labor across the
ocean.

Three hunters went shooting out in the west
Out In the west whom the sun was upj
Their guns were the finest, aud truest and best,
And red as blood was their rusty pup.
They swathed their forms in cardigan SUITS
And they cased their legs in big gum boots.
Oh, but the winds of March were keen,
And the waves Of Honey creek were cold,
And the "bread and meat In the tin canoen
Was gone c re the morning hour was old;
And the icy waters numbcd their legs,
And the blood.red pup ate the hard-boiled eggs.
Three hunters came back In the twilight dim,
As the sun went down In the rosy west;
Their steps were slow, their faces grim,
And ton ofanguish filled each breast.
And all the shot they had shot so hard
The dog brought home in his after guard.
