did not place great confidence in So
called faith cures. There is too much
room for mysticism in these cases, the
Rev. McGreggor said, and not sufficient
evidence of the facts.
ITO me it appears said the modera-
tor, DIR. Hughes, ''that modern faith
cures lead too many to fanaticism and
mislead others into trif1ing with the
Word of God. If the advocates are
intelligent enough to cure, they ought
to interpret the Scriptures accurately

the patients having given up medicine
for faith cures died within forty-eight

, I prefer old methods"

the Rev. w. H. Parmly, "whom I be-

But believe that those who profess to
make these cases are presumptuous.
They often frighten those whom they
cannot cure, declaring that the devil is
in them, calling them bad names and
never coming to help them again.
"Yes," exclaimed the Rev. D. T.

of physicians whether he has cancer

Ministers Condemning Faith Cure.

The Baptist ministers on Wednesday
renewed the discussion Of modern faith
cures. A paper was read by the Rev.
George W. Folwell, Of the Union Avenue
Church, Brooklyn, in which he said that
Christ did not authorize the foundation
of faith cure institutions, and that he
did not ordain men to cure by faith.
The Rev. r. w. Hartly said he be-
lieved that there were cures through
faith and gave the cure Of his wife as an
instance. He thought that If prayer
was not answered, it was not worth
while to pray, but he believed in physic-
1ans as a means Of cure. Professor
Norman Fox said that the Mormons
protested faith cures, but it was as well
to quote those of Lourdes and Knock

A great many ladies will wear none

the paper is properly wrapped around
a piece of baling twine it will retain it's

Whistling Down Brakes,

The Democratic senator's at Harrisburg
have been compelled in self-defense to hold
caucus and resolve to put stop to the
indiscriminate use of their names which
has been sought and procured by appli-
cants for appointments to federal positions.
Almost since the beginning of the session
they have been overrun by such impor-
tunate petitioners, who infest the state
capitol in person and wander from desk to
desk soliciting the members Of the legisa-
ture to write letters and sign petitions in
their behalf.
Self-respecting persons of course should
not engage in this miserable business but
it has become such universal custom that
many decent men, no doubt, who are i'm
PEELED to make known their desire
to hold office, think there is no way OF
getting it except by procuring 9
great string of names to their petitions and
bag full of letters which have been fur
nished upon their own urgent solicitation
The president has made very broad init
nation that such influences are not to con
| troll appointments under his administra
| ton. He has been long enough in practi
| cal politics to know how they are procure,
and what they signify.
| Certainly it should not avail petitioner
much to have the letters of men who d
| not know them and who do not have an
interest in the administration of the Office
which they seek. Public men who len
their names to the recommendation of pei
sons of whom they have no knowledge
cheaper and destroy their influence. The
who meddle in local appointments wit
which they have no just concern are i'll
pertinent and impudent, and they shoul
be held at their true value.

Chambers Plans.

The report that ex-Secretary Chandler
will remain in Washington to conduct his
own newspaper, and that he will revenge
himself on his enemies in its columns, will
not alarm anybody. This distinguished
jobber knows nothing of the newspaper
business; hence it will be impossible for him
to use it to reconstruct his own bad repu-
tation. Not only is this true, but no Wash
ington newspaper can attract attention in
the country. With single exception they
are all the organs of jobs and jobbery, of
the lobby and lobbyists.
If it had been announced that Chandler
would endeavor to use his paper to help his
business as lobbyist and claim agent, the
approximate truth would have been ex.
pressed. This man has no other business.
BY its means he has made his money, a
comfortable fortune, and through it he has
been able to command some recognition in
politics. Having made his bed he must
lie in it. 1t is idle for him TO insist that he
will now be revenged upon his enemies by
paper which nobody outside of Washing
ton ever sees and nobody inside cares for

Grants Doctors.

. We have bulletins from the doctors
about Grants condition that remind us of
the bulletins about Garfield. We trust that
the country isnot again to be subjected to
the horrible annoyance for months of their
detailed medical descriptions. They
are not edfying. We will be glad
to hear from the doctors daily
if they have anything new to say so often,
about General Grant, but we beg that they
will say it simply and briefly and drop
their professional lingo. The New York
Herald publishes wood cuts showing the ap-
pearance of the patients throat and the cells
and epithelia. 1t is unfortunate that the
throat makes so uninteresting a picture.
If the general big toe was the part affected
a picture of it might be made that would
be worth looking at. There is beauty in
toes, sometimes, and if not there
are corns upon them which make up
in general interest what they lack in SYM
metry. For as most people have corns
they will be eager to know how other peo.
pies look, and the comparisons they can
institute may be very refreshing to theil
souls. But who wants to compare throats :

pressed hard upon the president the name
of Phil Thompson for commissioner of

to have asked if this was the same Phil
Thompson who killed fellow man not
many months ago.
Secretary Manning is also said to have
viewed with some suspicion the eager yea
with which Thompson's appointment is
pressed by the large whisky interests OF
Kentucky and New York.
From all of which we infer that things
are not to be done with too much OF a
rush at Washington and that there is such
a thing as manifesting too much zeal, even
ON behalf of friend.

LANCASTER. MARCH 10, 1885.
The Law Of the Railroads.

The anti-dscrimination bill has been re-
ported to the Senate simply that it may be
printed and is to be further considered by
the committee having it in charge. Its OPP
ponents are to have hearing upon it. It's
provisions however are generally SO well
considered that il is not likely that any
material amendment will be recommended;
though we think the bill might be improved
if it required that the same rate per ton per
mile should be charged for carriage between
points in the state, with an additional
terminal charge. This would prevent
discrimination in local carriage, while
leaving the railroads unrestricted in carry
ing from points outside the state, where
they compete with railroads not under
Pennsylvania's control. The measure
however as it stands is good enough for a
beginning. The third section should have
companies and corporations" inserted
after individuals, " so that discrimination
shall be prohibited between 'transporta-
ton companies and individuals, companies
and corporations"
There ought to be no great difficulty in
reaching good understanding as to what
the provisions Of an anti-discrimination
bill should be. The railroad managers.
who propose to deal fairly and honestly
with the people, should welcome law that
will put all railroad managers under
bonds to do what the well meaning ones
desire to do. A law which will control tn,
evil-minded to good conduct is needed that
the well-disposed may do what they thinl
right.
We have no reason to believe that tn,
present management of the chief Pennsyl
vania railroads will kick against such al
anti-discrimination law as that which ha
been reported. The Pennsylvania rairoa,
direction is cleaner than it has been n
Berwind, White 4 Co. favoritisms are nov
charged against it. The temper of tn
times will not endure such things and
is a very good period to inaugurate the doc
trine that railroad companies are the pee
pies servants, created to do their bus
ness on equal terms and to be just t
all their customers.
Such law as that proposed ought to b
warmly welcomed by the reputable raj
road manager. 1t adds respectability t
his office and is bulwark against charge
of wrong-doing, which cannot but be pair
full to honorable men. If it takes some
thing from his power it adds much to h
peace, and secures him a good name tha
has been rare to the railroad president.

Some Distinctions.

There are no doubt some Republican
oflice-holders who were appointed because
of their preeminent fitness for the places
they occupy; and who have distinguished
their service by conspicuously efficient
administration of their duties, and an
avoidance Of offensive partisahship.
These have an advantage in their pos
session of the offices over other people who
want them.
There is another very large class of Re-
publican ofiice-holders, who were appointed
to the exclusion of Democrats-simply
because they were Republicans, and who,
while they have behaved themselves with
decency and without offense, and con-
Quoted their offices with a fair degree of
efficiency, are no better fitted for them
than their Democratic fellow citizens who
were given no chance and no consideration
in the cossDteition for appointments.
These have no advantage over as good
and better men who are urged for their
places.
There is another and probably the largest
class of Republican office-holders who were
appointed to places simply because they
were partisans, and who have been retained
only because "they have proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupulous
manipulators of local party management.
They must go and go quickly.
But the men who want their places must
remember that appointments now are to
g be based upon sufficient inquiry as to
fitness, instituted by those charged wit h
that duty, rather than upon persistent i'm
portunity or self-solicited recommendations
on behalf of candidates for appointment. -
And when the new men get in they are to
bear in mind" that efficiency, fitness and
devotion to public duty are the conditions
of their continuance in public places, and
that the quiet and unobtrusive exercise of
individual political rights is the reasonable
measure of their party service"
These are the definitions which the presi-
dent himself has given of his idea of prop
erly constituted civil service. They indi-
cate advanced ideas and radical departures
But there is nothing unintelligible and
mysterious about them; and the fate of
nearly every case can be predicted by the
rigid application of these principles to the
facts OF il.
