Kicking Against the Prlcks.

The city Of Philadelphia is having a
lively sensation in the new railroad. Every
body says that the road shall come in !;
even Mr.. Mac Veagh, for the Pennsylvania
railroad, declaring this to be inevitable.
What he does not want, apparently, is that
it shall cross any street at grade in enter
ing. But as it will be impossible for it to
enter without such crossing, unless the
city permits the grade of the streets
to be altered, Mr.. MacVeagh would
seem to admit that he and his COM
papy are very desirous of blocking the inev-
table. They seem to say that they are
stronger than the Almighty. If the Bal
timore 81 Ohio railroad is bound to
come into Philadelphia, as Mr.. MacVeagh
says, it seems to be very foolish in him to
advocate the imposition of impossible
conditions upon its entrance.
1t is silly, in the extreme, for the Penn
sylvania railroad to take position openly
against the new road. However much it
dislikes its entrance it can only oppose it
by suggesting considerations that are
equally strong against its own occupation
Of Philadelphia streets. 1t is with ex-
coedingly bad grace thata company which
- recklessly uses the public thoroughfares,
when and as it suits it, seeks to deny like
privileges to rival company.
& Mr. Mac cVeagh could have made an ex-
0elient speech, as the advocate of his fellow
citizens, in opposition to grade crossings;
but ~ the advocate of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, his appearance was simply ridicu-
lous. lie had no standing before the CON-
mittee OF councils whom he was address
lng' In his position that grade crossing
= city was the one objectionable sin of |
ne railroad corporation. His weapon was a
'oomerang, which knocked him over every
ilme he flung il from him.

IT would be hard to belie~o that anywhere
in this country such a thing could occur as
that man would be convicted of breaking
the Sabbath and the law by distributing ra-
tons on Sunday, to sufferers from flood.
But this is just what has happened to John
Mcclure of Modoc Landing, Ark. During
the big overflow the whole country around
Modoc Landing was under water, save one
tiny island, which rose as haven of safety,
and whittier the starving people miles and
miles around flocked i'll their boats for pro
visions Mcclure opened his store upon the
Sabbath to feed the starving and to distribute
to the needy waiting people from the back
country the rations the government had sent
them and for this he has been brought before
the court, tried and fined. This case is a fair
match for the prosecution and fining of some
of the Boston clergy, who recently preached
on the Common. The spirit of offensive
Pnritanism is not confined to tho descendants
of the women-whppersa and witch-burners.

The Preventive of Terrible Disease.

No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms
of lung disease, involve such tremendous de-
structon of organic tissue rs those which faster n
upon the kidney. Such maladies, when they
become chronic-and none are SO liable to as
sumo that phase-completely wreck the system.
To prevent this terrible disease recourse should
be had, upon the first manifestation of trouble,
to Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs which experience
has proved to be highly effective u means of
imparting tone and regularity to the organs of
urination, rs well as to the liver, stomach and
bowels. Another beneficial result of this medi-
cine. naturally consequent upon its diuretic ac-
tion, Is the elimination from the blood of impur-
titles which beget rheumatism, neuralgia, gout,
dropsy and other maladies. BY increasing the
activity of the kidneys, 1t augments the depura.
tive efficiency OF these organs. which are most
important outlets for the escape of such impuri-
ties. jeil0

THE New York Tablet, which Processes
to be an organ of Catholic opinion, finds in
Miss Elizabeth Cleveland's recently pub
lished assault on the Medieval Monas-
terry" occasion for a fresh attack upon the
whole Cleveland family, whose origin, the
Tablet says, is lost in race of bigots,"
whose representative in the White House it
declares to embody 4" indecent and bottom
less bigotry and Grass ignorance" We do
not know what the Tablet is now, but in
1882 1t was political mercenary, fighting for
pay, whose manager opposed Pattison's can
didacy for pay and agreed to withdraw its op-
position for hire. He is now dead and Patti
son was elected "The Inan recovered
from the bite, the dog it was that died." If
the Tablet did not change its morals with its
manager it is not entitled to the respect of
Catholic or Protestant, churchman or sceptic

A few days ago Ephraim Sloan, an old
farmer living mile from Cape May Court
House, N. j., while on his way home from
Dias creek, a small village on the bay shore,
saw what he supposed was cloud of smoke,
but watching it carefully until it came over
him, he was astonished to find that it was
cloud nearly quarter of a mile long OF the
biggest kind of mosquitoes. He directed
the attention of several farmers to the cloud,
and all admit that Mr.. Sloan's sight did not
deceive him. 1t was heading in northeast
erly direction, and, If nothing interfered
with its progress, would probably land some
where in Atlantic county. They are sup
posed to have come from the eastern shore of
Marylan or Delaware. They made no stop
lar cloud settled down at Denuisville, and
made things extremely lively for the inhab-
itants, and a number of cattle were killed by
them.
