No Hone for Them.

The cohesive power of public plunder
and the hope that each recurrent Ma
tional election would bring the official
crib into their grasp have been suffi-
cient to hold the Democratic party to-
gether for many years. Prayerfully
have they watched and religiously have
they waited, hoping against hope. In
the elections last fall they saw the pill
lar of fire which would lead them out of
darkness into light, and loud were their
choruses of praise and thanksgiving.
But n cloud has now hidden it from
their view, and their air castles are
crashing to earth. The tariff issue has
divided them, and a number of the most
potent, grave and reverend seigniors are
at loggerheads. Disintegrationi is every
where visible, and the cohesion of plunder
will not prove attractive enough to weld
again the sundered factions. We have
before US Lamar, Mcdonald, Voorhees,,
Vest, Randall, Bayard, and several
others of equal prominence, each repre-
senting a distinctive phase or disk of
the rainbow horizon of Democratic
thought and opinion. Each has been
obliged to give expression to ideas upon
the all-absorbing topic, and every utter
ance has awakened criticism, crimina-
ton and recrimination, until the air is
shattered with the conclusion of con-
fiicting ideas. There is nothing in the
nature of friendly argument or gener-
Gus rivalry among these Boanerges.
Each is the chieftain of his own clan.
Each is an aspirant for the highest hon.
ors, and all are struggling for the flesh
pots of Egypt.
The latest dogmatic dictum is from
Mr.. Mcdonald, of Indiana. He is an
avowed Presidential candidate, and as
such has made formal declaration of
his principles, so far as they relate to
the issue upon which the next campaign
is to be fought. He is squarely an anti
protectionist, and wants the country at
large to thoroughly understand him.
The senior Senator from Indiana, MIR.
Voorhees,, is protectionist pure and
simple. Upon the issue thus presented
Mr.. VOORHEES, could not consistently
support the candidate of his own State
and party. Mr.. Voorhees, is never in
consistent. Mr.. Bayard, another cam
didate, has declared himself for
free trade, and been publicly re-
buked by the Democratic Mayor of
the metropolis of the West. Sena-
tor Lamar warns the Democratic party
that they are inviting the ruin that
overwhelmed slavery by giving counte-
nance to protective theorists. Mr.. Ran
dali calmly avoids the issue until COM
PEELED to declare his attitude upon the
subject, and then as calmly votes for
protection. Leading Democratic edi-
tors are as muddled as are their politi-
cal leaders, and, waxing wroth, are fir
ing the Democratic heart with bitter
denunciations of the heteredox isms of
their opponents. Thus does the good
fight go on all along the line The issue
is live one. The Democratic party
will soon be dead one. 1t cannot
handle the great question without COM
ing to standardization. 1t cannot avoid
the question, and upon that rock it will
incontinently split. = National Repab-
licdn.

Striving to Settle Their Differences.

A movement which originated among
the Republican members of the present
Legislature of New York is on foot to
make an effort to heal the divisions in
the party, reunite its different factions,
reorganize it on harmonious platform,
and put it in good fighting condition
for the next Presidential campaign. In
Pennsylvania, also, the same necessity
for harmony exists; similar causes of
disintegration have been at work, the
same need for union and harmony is
apparent. and it is cheering to observe
that the excellent example New York
be attempted also in the keystone State.
The Republicans of these two States
have good cause to take the initiative
in a movement of this kind, %, because
they are the two most populous States
in the Union; (2) because their support
is necessary to the success of the Re-
publican cause in any reasonable calcu-
luton for the future; and (3) for the
reason that both of those States have
been lost to us by the indiscretions,
heart-burnings and jealousies of the
Republican party managers, leading to
personal feuds, factional animosities,
and finally to inevitable and disastrous
defeat at the polls.
Everybody knows that the rank and
file of the people of both New York and
Pennsylvania will naturally range them
selves on the Republican side of their
own free will and accord whenever they
are allowed to separate on distinct and
clearly-defned political party lines, and
it is only when some factional and per-
sonal elements are allowed to inject
themselves as disturbers of the party
peace that the Democracy has a show of
success. The causes which threw both
New York and Pennsylvania into the
hands of the Democracy last year are
too well known and are too aggrayat-
ing, to need repeating, and may be dis
missed with the simple hope that those
disastrous mistakes will not be repeated
in the future. No sensible man will
deny that New York and Pennsylvania
have both been lost to the Republicans
by the bad management of the Repub-
ican leaders of those great States.
While the Republicans of New York
and Pennsylvania are smoking the pipe
of peace, and trying to bring order out
of chaos, it is well for the Republicans
in other States to initiate their good ex-
ample and look about them to see if
they cannot do something also to pro-
mote harmony and exercise the fell
spirit of discord in our party. Is it not
a good time now, when we are within
about a twelve month of the assembling
of the next Republican National Con-
vention, to resolve that the distracting
disputes and bitter enmities which char
acterized the last one shall not be.
carried forward into the next, but that
bygones shall be bygones, and while the
dead past is left to bury its dead. :. the.
grand old Republican party" shall again
summon all her united hosts for another
great yictoryP-C Chicago journal

A Munificent wedding Fee.

A Philadelphia clergyman was called
upon the other day BY handsomely
dressed couple, who asked him TO unite
them in marriage. As they gave asat-
isfactory account of themselves he had
no hesitation in complying with their
request, thinking with pardonable inter-
estof a prospective handsome fee. After
the ceremony the bridegroom handed
him an envelope which obviously had an
inclosure, and he made out and gave 10
the newly welded paIr an expensive
marriage certificate. On their departure
he opened the envelope wondering
whether he should find ten dollar Of
a twenty dollar bill inside. He found
found neither, but instead this pathetic
and pious note: Reverend Sir-AlloH

heart for the service you have rendered
me this evening. And in time to come

you in more substantial manner. /

day for my living, and that is the reason
cannot offer you more than my heart

wisdom, keep you and bless you.

The salvation Army in switzerland.

The Geneva correspondent of the
London Times says: ssThe proceedings
of the Salvation Army in this part Of
Switzerland are attracting considerable
attention and provoking serious disturb
ances and much angry controversy.
Here at Geneva. where their meetings
have been interrupted and their process
sions attacked by organized bands Of
rioters. NJ. Heridier, head of the De-
partment of Justice and Police, has
peremptorily refused them the protec-
ton of the law. When questioned on
the subject in the Great Council, he de-
clared that he would not move q single
gendarme to help people who were 50
stupid as to give themselves military
titles and seek to obtain converts By
talking about blood, battles and fire;
and his declaration was warmly ap.
plauded by a majority of the members.
At Neuchatel man who had been
arrested by the police for distprbing
meeting was rescued by the crowd; and
an Enghshman, wrongly suspected of
belonging to the army. was hunted
thr0ug the streets and seriously NAL
treated. Similar scenes have been en-
acted at Chaux-de-F -Fonds and BiennA"

A decision was rendered by the
Supreme Court of the United States
on Monday last, in five civil rights
cases based on the first and second
sections of the civil rights act of
March LIST, 1875. They are respective
" prosecutions under the act for not
admitting certain colored persons TO
equal accommodations and privileges
in inns or hotels, in railroad cars and
theaters. The court held that con
gress had no constitutional authority
to pass the section in question under
either the thirteenth or fourteenth
amendments of the constitution.

The Boss in the last Register thus
speaks ofthe honest and independent
Republicans of Preble county, who
cast their ballots on the side of right
and justice, and against ring rule and
''set up nominations:
Had we been beaten at the late
election by honest Republicans going
over to our opponents, we might find
in it food for reflection and thought
and feel reconciled to our lot. But
when we know that our defeat is the
work of villainous methods, with the
most vicious element by money,
whisky and tobacco, melanch oly days
have come-demagogues, knaves and
ignoramuses pooled their issues with
Democracy and won. The bad in
the victorious party we fear will rule
as it was those that turned the scale
What little of good remains in Demo
cracy will be subo:dinated and its
modicum of virtue and intelligence
be drowned in the floods of whisky
and ignorance that rule and reign il
it. The yells of victory mingle will
the fumes of whisky.
If all the vicious, bad, "knaves'
"ignoramuses" and ''demagogues'
have left the party in Preble county
