Is there not some unreason in the talk
about furnishing the bribe-giver equally
with the bribe-tsker," in such a case as
that of the New York aldermen In one
view of the matter the guilt is equal, and
they should both be punished but practi-
oally the attempt to convict both generally
results in leaving no witness to prove the
crime, and 80 neither is punished. Apart
from this difficulty, is there not really some
difference in the grade Of crime between

The attemptto use "rsligious" arguments
for and against Mr.. Blaine, in possible view OF
1888, has already started briskly. A tele.
gram from Pittsburg to the New York Time,
represents prominent official, who was q
"Blaine man in 1884," as saying:
That marriage of Blaine's son to Roman CatnolI,
girl by Roman Catholic priest will do much to Kill
on his fathers national reputation In the Conyen.
non IN lsSs It's nearly time, at any rate, that the
Blaine family should cease to masquerade as Pro-
testant family. Blane's antecedens and his symps-
thies are distlnctively Roman Catholic, although he
has been at great pains and trouble to deny the fact,
His daughter, Mrs. Major Copplnger, changed her
religion as readily and with few quams as II she
were changing her gown when she married the
Major. The rush that the Roman Catholic vote
made to Blaine in the fall OF 1884 shows that 1t be-
longs to him, and that the heads OF the Church di
rected II for purpose. voted for him with great
reluctance In 1884 but tell you hat that shall not
do 1t again In 1888.
1t is hard to imagine anything worse than
this, unless 1t should be an effort to rally
the Catholic vote for Blaine on the pretext
that he would be "favorable" to tina. Church
and allow private altar and Jesuit Chap
lain in the White House, II elected. The
article in the Constitution forbidding the es-
tablishment of any governmental religion
evidently needs to be supplemented by
another for locking up every pestilent fool
who brings sectarian controversies into a
national election. What does this device
ever amount tor 1t is a two edged sword, a
blunderbuss that shoots both ways. By a
singular chance, some Catholic priests
secretly and lot of Protestant ministers
openly were all working for Blaine
simultaneously in New York. The
result was that they exactly neutralized
each other, and the fnal Burohard bomb
shell wrecked Mr.. Blaine's machinery alto.
gether. 1t is said that some bitter Orange
men In Philadelphia voted against Blaine
from religious prejudice: but he got SO, 200
majority in their State all the same. It was
actually attempted to rouse Roman Catholic
feeling against Mr.. Cleveland In 1884. The
fact was that he had crushing rejoinder
ready In the number of Catholics he had ap.
pointed TO Office aud numbered among his
supporters, but with great good sense he and
his friends kept back this very information,
knowing that It would do more harm than
good. II a man is a trns American citizen

with fairness, for that virtue at least is thor
oughly ingrained In the fibre Of the Ameri.

Maine election results last week appear 10

about 5000, but that is a gain on anything

little or nothing before election, while the
