Hereditary Vice.

Those who believe in the doctrine of
heredity will find striking illustration of
the transmission of criminal instincts and
the diffusion of depraved blood through
out family, in the case of the unfortunate
woman who was the victim of her para
mour's frenzy in New York the other day.
The family of Celia Tatro, the woman
murdered by her French husband or lover,
are poor, ignorant, drunken and criminal
lot,living avagrant life in the mountains OF
Massachusetts. The women have all been
in court for drunkenness and street walking,
one daughter going to the women's prison
at Sherborne for two years. One son,
Joseph Tatro, was hanged in Canada for
murder. Celia, when young was married
| to Francois Olivier, and had one son, who
is now living, despite his mothers attempt
to kill him by mixing powdered glass in the
buckwheat cake batter.
| A curious book was published SOM
years ago to show how race of criminal
had sprung from one abandoned woman il
New York, carrying the seeds of sin, lik
the germs of the thistle are sown, over tn
whole country. Every case of the kin
proves anew the economy, from purel
worldly standpoint, of throwing saf'
guards around the young and of relievin
the squalor and misery of the outcast.

IppersolI,s Feelings Not Hurt.

The New York Tribune, setting itself up
in that role of moral and professional censor
which SO delight the Pecksniffs of the
press, stigma ICES the following from the
Boston Pilot as " about as coarse, brutal
and Hippant paragraph as it has ever
been our fortune to see in any journal call
ing itself respectable:
Englishmen are not the only people who
write books about place before visiting it
Col. !ngersoli is the author of work on
"Hell."
Asfor coarseness, brutality and fippancy,
this paragraph is overmatched every day
in the columns of the Tribune itself, and
notably is this the case in the very issue
from which this complaint is taken. AS
to Ingelsoll's own feelings there is no
reason to suppose that he feels sensitive to
or aggrieved at such notice of himself
He does not believe in hell, and he is sc
confident that there is no such place thai
he is willing to take his chances Of SSinp
there if there is. No subjectjriroo loo sacred

THE biography of John Kelly, the we'll
known New York Democrat, contains much
of interest to the student of American poll
tics for the reason that he was an actor in one
of the most heated periods of American
political history. Kelly won his maiden
spurs i'm the days when native Americanism
was at the zenith of its power. He and
Bishop Hughes were the men who prevented
the meeting of the native American leaders
in New York, which had it occurred as in
tended would, I'm the then excited state OF
public opinion, certainly have ended in
wholesale bloodshed. Thus i'm fighting the
battles of his faith and his race, young Kelly
quickly climbed the political ladder, and sat
in Congress for one OF the New York city
districts i'm 1854 when he was only 80 years
old. He was one of the great moving spirits
that led the bulk of the Wing vote into the
Democratic party after and during the time
that the latter party was waging its success
full war against Known othingism 1t was
then that the Alticks and other well-known
local families Joined the Democratic ranks.
Voicing this exodus of the Catholic Wings,
Kelly said i'm a speech in Congress: "The
large Catholic vote of Kentucky and Mary.
land had always been found with the Whig
party, until the Know-Nothing monster and
its protean brood Of platforms drove them In
self.respect, as well as in self-defense, into
the ranks of the national Democracy, where
they have found repose and peace under the
broad shadows of the constitution. And
under its shadows the great bulk of this vote
still reposes.

The Legislative spportionment bill, 30 far
as II concerns Schuylkill county, seems 10 be
about TO point the moral Of vaulting ambition
overlapping itself fthe bill becomes law
1t will be seen that its Republican manipula-
tors have attempted to carve from the county
five Republican districts out of the six The
inevitable result must be that the districts
will he so close that popular Democrats may
win in all of them. A fair measure Of the
relative strength of the parties in Schuylkill
may be obtained by study of the vote for
congressman last fall. The combined Green.
back Republican strength was given to
Brumm, while some disaflection existed In
the Democratic ranks over their candidate,
James b. Reilly. The vote was, Brumm
1851, Reilly 1l,677 Brumm's majority, 9l0.
| Now, when il Is thus shown how closely
matched the parties are in Schuylkill coun
| ty, the absurdity of the attempt to make
nearly 1900 Democrats content with single
representative Is at once apparent Tint
will prove to the satisfaction Of these manip
ulators how boomerang may recol on 1T

NeighbOrly Coincidence.

The Ne,p Era felicitates itself that the
anti-oleomargine law sis probably none the
worse because the INTELLIGENCER denom-
mates the veto of Governor Pattison's ap-
proval of an absurd, unconstitutional and
altogether iniquitous statute" Neverthe-
less the INTELLIGENCER persists in its
opinion of this statute, just as it does with
regard to another law that recently met
the executive veto and the Ne'o Era'S dis
approval, and yet passed the legislature
over that veto and despite that disapproval
with only 10 votes against it in the two
Houses combined.
Gov. Pattison denounced 'preposterous"
the law requiring the counties appropriate
$50 each to bury the INDECENT soldiers that
died within their limits. The Ne,1 Era
commended the veto; with characteristic
manner that left little doubt of its own
views. 1t gave to the veto editorial promi-
nence, and urged the critics of it to "calm-
ly and dispassionately read" the "plain,
direct and easily understood reasons " for
not "granting anything and everything
navy" and to whom it said the United
States has not been ungrateful" as "shown
by the fact that she now pays as much
money to pensioners annually as the inter-
est on her public debt amounts to-" ''The
governor shows" it said "that the states
bounty would be subject under the bill to
gross abuses" and altogether it thought
the governor dealt the members "Dlow
between the eyes for their crude and indis-
criminate legislation"
AS soon as the legislature returned the
blow between the eyes the Neo Era
crawled into its shell. Nevertheless we
think it was right in its position and it
would have done itself credit to have main
tained it, despite popular clamor or legis-
lative demagogy. The INTELLIGEN-
GER does not retreat from position it as
sumes on principle, to get on the side of a
president, governor, legislature or even of
the needless mob such as ran through the
streets of old Jerusalem shouting for the
release of Barrabas.
BY the way, the Neto Era condoled with
the INTELLIGENCER that the president
was inclined to take different view from
it of the appointment of Zach. Montgom-
cry to be assistant attorney general of the
interior department. A clamor was raised
against the appointee because he had writ
ten book against the common school sys-
tenn as practiced in California, where 1t isa

No cause gains from the exaggeratIon of
its advocates On the contrary the reaction
created by the truth tends towards positive
loss. Not long ago Joshua l.. Bailey, of Phil
adelphia, a prominent temperance worker,
delivered before the state legislature an ad-
dress on the amount of liquor consumption,
putting 1t in round figures at 500, 200, 900 an
nually for the people of the United States
The mammoth size of these figures attracted
general attention and many a temperance
text was based upon them. The Philadel-
phia Record quotes from the revenue returns
to show that they are nearly twice too great |:
"The total amount of spirits produced and
imported into the country last year was
81, lbs, ,0Sl gallons. OF this amount IL is a
fair estimate that one-fiith was consumed
in the arts and manufactures, leaving GA, ,909,-
46l for drink. Estimating the cost Of this
whole consumption of spirits at g a gallon,
the total cost is S204, ,7l9,3S3. The total con-
sumption of malt liquors last year was 590,-
0l6,5l7 gallons, which at 40 cents a gallon
amounts to $3.50, ,006,6O8 To this must be
added 2O,5Os, 345 gallons Of wine, AS five-
sixths OF this wine was of domestic produc-
ton, its cost to consumers at 81, a high esti-
mate, was S4l, ,Ol7, 500. This makes a grand
total OF S4Sl, $40 for the annual cost OF the
country's liquor consumption. Mr.. Bailey's
error was due to his estimating the cost Of the
liquor consumed at five and ten cents drink.
He has good enough case to plead as ii is aud
there is no need to weaken it by exaggera-
ton.

LANCASTER. MAY q, 1885.
An ImpOrtant Struggle.

There is an exciting contest going on IN
Philadelphia between the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Baltimore Il Ohio, which
is allied with the Reading, and seeks to
make connection with the latter and with
the Delaware river across the streets OF the
city. The engineers of the new road have |
avoided grade crossings as much as posi-
BILE, without makingan overhead or under
ground road, and the city councils are now
asked to approve the plans. The Pennsyl-
yania railroad company is making vigor-
GUS opposition to the entrance of its rival,
and is placing every possible obstacle in
its path. 1t is seeking to create public
sentiment against it as a foreign corpora
tion and inveighs against its grade cross
ings. 1t adopts the same tactics as those
by which the Reading railroad has sought
to impede the building of the Pennsylvania
Schuylkill valley road, and builds sidings
to its own road wherever they may embar-
raSs its rival. In this case the shoe
pir hes its own foot, and the contest de-
/ monstiates that railroad company is al
ways fer itself and is patriotic only when
itpays. 1t is cIear enough that the public
porations when it has to decide upon the
advisability of granting privileges upon its
highways.

road has taken advantage of its mo-
nopoly of the anthracite coal trade with the
city to charge its people as much foi
coal as other more distant cities have to
pay. The city has undoubtedly been the
victim of railroad monopoly.
What it certainly needs is railroad compe
tition. 1t needs therefore what the new
road offers it. There isnO possibility that
any Intelligent citizen fails to see this, ol
that any such will refuse entrance to tht
Pennsylvania rival.
The conditions of entrance, however
should give to the city all the advantage il
can get. The new road wants to get in
not to serve Philadelphia, but to serve
itself. 1t should, therefore, be required t,
build its road so as to be of the least posi-
BILE injury. The city commands the situa
tion. The road wants to come in. An(
the city need not fear to make its entrance
costly, if the cost is required by the city
interest.

A Modern Hebrew View Of the Bible.

Rev. Solomon SCHNEIDER, of Boston.
We believe that to certain degree all lit
erature is inspired by the Divine Being. We
know that no author could write line I'M
less he is under divine inspiration. God
speaks to man to-day as lie has spoken to
him before. The Bible is, therefore, an in
spired book, but not more so than any other.
TO us it is also a literary treasure, accumu-
lated by our nature, showing how we were
evolved from the earliest times 10 the time of
its last edition. 1t is sacred to us on account
of its antiquity.
