coming drift in the Republ ican party on the
tariff question. Massachusetts manufac-

CATHOLICISM VS.. ANARCHY.

The Roman Catholic Church, says the
Omaha Republican, is taking a stand in
American social affairs which proves it to
be the enemy OF anarchy aod destruction
and the friend of Constitutional Govern
ment and civil right. It's action in the case
of DR.. McGlynn, of New York, is intended
to prevent agitation that may lead to Sc
rious discOrd and strife, and o Cardinal
Gibbon has taken occasion to say a few
to a class OF adopted citizens of the Ma
ton who, in q measure, are identified with
the anarchial movements in the east. At
the recent dedication OF a Bohemian Cath
Ole church, the Cardinal said, in the course
of his sermon:
Strive to be ~law-abiding citizens; study
and obey the laws OF the country; be al
ways in harmony with the spirit of it's in
situations; set your faces against those
pernicious schools OF anarchy, nihilism
and socialism and other dangerous organi-
cations. whose apostles are striving to de.
stroy, but make no effort to build up and
strengthen the glorious edifce of constitu-
tional freedom. in which all alike, both ma
tive and foreigner, find a home and a
shelter.
In the same address he said: "Take al
ways as lively an interest in the business OF /
your employer as if it were your own"
This is not a new attitude of the church |
of which the speaker is an illustrious ex-
ponent. Tbe necessity for it's utterance
may be greater o han at times of pro.
found quiet, but the doctrine is as old as
the founder OF Christianity, and there has
never been a time in the history of the re-
public when the teaching of the Cardinal to
the Bohemians of Baltimore has not been
the invariable rule OF the church, and in
Anarchistic or Communistic ~demonstra.
tions one looks in vain for participants
who are also members of the fold of which,
in this country, Cardinal Gibbons is the
chief pastor. As that fold is recruited in
part from Europe, whence come also
the majority of An archistic agitators, and
as it's membership is no inconsiderable part
OF the population OF the country, the church
becomes q great Conservator of the law.
In this instance it shows itself to be emf
nently SO, and Cardinal Gibbon proves
himself to be a true American citizen.

How They Spent Christmas.

There is no question that the great
European powers are, in a quiet way, put
ting themselves in readiness for war. While
they cannot now determine just how it
will be brought about, they all feel that
events are being shaped by Russia which
will ultimately lead to hostilities. A blow
from tue latter will plunge them all into a
war which may, in the end, call for a revis-
ion OF boundaries and a new map of En-
rope. America would be an incalculable
gamer should arms be resorted to in

The Philadelphia Call thus goes after the
dodgers of the Morrison bill: 1.-THE dodgers
upon the question OF revenue reform now
hope to bring up a bill for the reduction
OF internal revenue, and seem to be un-
mindful Of the fact that Saturdays minor
ity will be their opponents. This is a repe-
tition of the tactics of last session. Every
member is in favor of his pet increase or
reduction, and opposed to all others, and
no compromise is thought of. The sugar
men, the iron men and the wool men arr
each set in their wi ideas, and the whisky
and tobacco men as firmly set in their
ideas. Meanwhile the revenue from all
these sources is pouring in, the surplus is in
.creasing, and taxation is not decreased.
Come, come; no more lodging, gentlemen.
Reduce the taxes without delay.

While Governor Leslie will be treated by
the people of Montana with that respect
and courtesy due his exalted position yet
il he knew the height and depth of the feel
ing which prevails in the Territory against
the appointment OF no~n-residents to Fed
eral offices within it, we believe he would
prefer to remain in his native state. The
people OF Montana never did take kindly
to carpet-bag politicians, but now since en-
joying a slight taste Of ''home rule" in the
form OF a few resident Federal appeintees,
they are doubly Disguised with this late
exhibition of President Cleveland's disre-

The 'home rule" of which the Repub]ic-
an Territorial prints now so glibly prate
was unknown under a Republican admins
tration OF national affairs. When the old
political hacks were annually sent out here
from the East by the Republican appoint
ing powers, these same Republican sheets
which are now bowling about Leslie's ap-
pointment welcomed them with out
stretched arms and sympathetic hearts.
They had only honeyed words for the nom
resident rulers and the power that sent
them here. Their professions of love for
"home rule" are unadulterated cant and
President Cleveland has done
nothing to please them so much as his ap-
pointment OF Leslie for Governor of this

A wrors" Use of tho Bible.

In all court houses very dirty copies Of
The Bible are used in way which, the
editor Of the Herald of Health thinks, and
In which almost avery one will concur, is
dangerous to health. When jurors or
Witnesses are sworn, they are expected 10
take the Bible in one hand, and after re-
peating the oath, TO kiss the book with
their lips. Clean and unclean people do
this unfortunately, and it does not take
long to make the cover, and even the
leaves, of this book very foul. Such q use
Of it, it seems to us, is unwarrantable-
The Bible says: ssSwear not atall neither
by the heaven, for it is the throne OF God {;
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool Of
his feet; nor by Jerus;tlem for it is the
city of the great King. Neither shalt thoU
swear by the head. for thou canst not
make one hair white or black. But let
your speech be, Yea, yea: Nay, nay: and
whatsoever is more than these coineth Of
the evil one.'
Cleanly people, who do not wish to kiss
a book sodden with grease and foul with
filth, are allowed 10 affirm. which is GER
tainly preferable. Others practice 81 harm
less sort of evasion, by holding the book
in such way that they can kiss their
thumbs without being observed by the
officer OF the court, who, by the way, is
rarely very. watchful, and is satisfied il
one goes through with the form rather
than the spirit of the oath.

The Cottage at Bethany.

There was one house where Jesus went
very often--the cottage Of Mary and
Martha and Lazarus, at Bethany. There
he lived not merely a social, but q dOnes-
tic life-not merely a life of society, but a
lite of home. In that house, brotherhood
and sisterhood bloomed into such perfect
flower that it has been fragrant and beau:
tiful to all generations. They were re-"
ligious people. No doubt each of them
in solitude stroye after and found the
brotherhood Of God. But we can we'll
imagine that when they were together,
it was their brotherhood and sisterhood
that was most prominent. And what did
Jesus do for them Silver and gold,
like his deciples, he had none; but such
as he had, his own supreme consciousness,
such as he was, he gave to them. One day
he told the anxious elder sister that there
was q tsbetter part'' in life than the most
faithful work for the comfort Of brother
OF sister. He taught her his OWN lesson,
that man does not live by bread alone
but by every word that proceedeth out Of
the mouth of God, his Father. On an
other day he allowed The household life to
feel the shock OF death, and to be broken,
in order chat he might call upon mis- Father
and their Father to restore it by what
was like new birth. And as the coming
of a child into a household breaks open
it's narrowness to let in the broad thought
of God, SO the brotherhood and sisterhood
of Bethany must have been reopened and
filed with the consciousness of sonship
and dauehtership, whenever that boy
man-young forever with something Of
perpetual youth of those who have passed
through the grave and come out in the
timeless life beyond--went about among
them.-TPhillips Brooks

Menthol is white crystalline substance
deposited from Oil Of peppermint. 1t is
obtained by freezing and thawing the oil
several times, the crystal being deposited
during the congealing process. The Jap
anese Oil is generally used in the manu-
tacture of menthol, as it yields the crys-
sal more richly than the others. These
crystals melt at 81 degrees Fahr., are
slightly soluble in water and entirely solu-
ole in ether, and the volatile oils. Men
shol is anew discovery in American medi-
cine, but there is evidence that its pecu-
liar nature and virtues have been known
in China and Japan for many years. The
drug has been found reliable remedy in
the less severe neuralgia affections OF the
face, especially in brow-pains. The
strength usually employed is one part of
pure menthol to ten OF alcohol. If the
anger or piece of cotton be dipped in
this preparation and then rubbed lightly
over the locality of the pain, the relief is
almost immediate. The "Gern,an head
ache pencil" is simply a concentrated aud
solid preparation Of menthol which is
used to rub over the affected parts.
