The Cnrlisle-rhoebe Case.


The Republican journals are demanding
fair play and Justice for Mr. Thoebe. Mr..
Carlisle, they say has great influence and
power and many are ready 20 do his bid
ding. They picture Mr.. Thoebe as a poor
workingman, who has few friends and
who is asking for nothing more than would
be granted 20 him if be were a man Of
wealth and social importance.
1t is expected that this sort Of stuff will
win the good Will Of tho workngmen for
the Republican party. 1t might if there
We're any truth in it, 1t is so conspicuously
false, however, that every fair-minded
workngman must be disguised by it.
What are the factsi Why that Mr..
Thoebe has had every opportunity to make
good his right to the seat occupied by Mr.
Carlisle, and has failed to do so. From
Nov. 6, 1856, to the first Monday in Deem
Der, 1887, was ample time to get all the
testimony needed to show that he was
elected. What was he doing all that time:
He took some testimony, but none of it was
pertinent to the issue Mr.. Carlisle, who
did not interfere with him in any way, de-
clared that he wanted to take no testimony,
and when the case was made up he said that
he would stand by the record.
The Elections Committee was appointed
by the House and it heard the case. Mr..
Thoebe and his counsel said they could
prove certain things if given time. They
filed atiidavits and made statements, all of
which were shown to be untrue at a subse-
quent committee meeting 1t became APP
parent that all Thoebe and his counsel wanted
was a chance to get an allowance for ex-
penses and counsel fees The majority of
the committee, composed of the Democrats
and two Republicans, said that all that was
in the case had been heard, and that Mr..
Tboebe had no ground for a contest. The
minority, composed Of three Republicans.
said, that while nothing had been produced
by Mr.. Thoebe to show that he had right
to seat they thought tn. case hould be
re-opened for further testimony,
On this state of facts the Republican
members of the House are demanding the
re-opening of the case, and the Republican
Journals are charging that Mr.. Carlisle and
his friends are trying TO cover up fraud,
and are employing bulldozing tactics to
do so.
Mr.. Thoebe had more than year to show
that he was elected, and that he was de
prived of his seat by fraud If he was not
able to show these things in that time he
can never show them. He has been treated
with justice, He is entitled to nothing
more.
a dispatch received late last night, an
published this morning, states that Mr..
Carlisles title to his seat has been confirmed
If Mr.. Thoebe is ambitious for Congress
sional honors he may try his strength in a
contest before the people of the Sixth Ken
lucky district next fall

The MORNING NEWS will begin the publ
cation of deeply interesting story next
Sunday morning entitled Section $50, or the
Fatal Letters. The story is based upon
facts furnished by Inspector Byrnes, the
great New York detective, and is written
by Julian Hawthorne 1t deals with mat
ters of the present day. with which many
people are familiar. There is a saying that
truth is stranger than fiction, and this story
illustrates how true this saying is. The
story is startling and sensational, but con-
tains nothing that strikes one as being inn
probable. The reason of this Is that strange
as the leading incidents are they are true.
The story has been procured by the MORN
ING News at considerable expense. Those
who read it will admit that the expense was
justified. 1t will appear in the Sunday and
weekly editions, and those who want it
should subscribe at once.

The Presidential Church.
Washington Special to Cincinnati ComBlerc
Gazette

Washington Special to Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
Before the President chose Mr.. Sunderland's
Four-anda-half street church for his place of
worship that church was in a state of decay and
the congregation was not large OF rich and the
attendance in accordance Immediately upon
the Presidents choice all that was changed. and
the change was still greater after he married
and brought his bride TO the meeting house with
him.
Now the church is thronged every Sunday,
and often many people are obliged to go away
for lack of room or seats. 1t is a fact highly
encouraging to the cause that Presidential piety
can have such a good effect in the religious
field Sam Jones himself could not do better
When the Presidents carriage arrives in front
OF the church with Albert Hawkins on the box
wearing big bearsKn cape as black as his face
and driving the two big numbering "seal
browns, there is gathered about the doors of
the sanctuary a crowd of 200 or 300 awaiting
the arrival of the gentleman whom Tim Camp
bell, of New York, immortalized himself by
speaking of as his nibs''
When Mr.. and Mrs, Cleveland descend from
their carriage they walk hastily into the church
through the passage formed by the pious ex-
pectantS and go at once to their pew, which is
about twO-thirds of the distance down the right
aisle. They look neither to the right nor the
left, recognize nobody and pay no attention to
anybody The crowd closes in behind Them
and as soon as the President and wife are in
their seats the services begin.
In the olden times, when the WaShingtOns and
CustiSes wOrshpped in their pew, which is pre-
served in old Christ church in Alexandria, un-
disturbed to this day, somethingsof this sort
used to occur. When the great yellow coach of
Gen. Washington came up from Mount Vernon
bringing Washington, his wife and the Custis
children, similar scenes were enacted in front of
old Christ church.

A FAITH CURE CASE.
How a Patient applied Belladonna
Prescription to His Knee.

From the Jersey city Journal
An incident OF recent occurrence is a pertinent
illustration of the faith cure and the Christian
science" cure and shows wherein any efficacy
they possess consists. An eminent physician OF
large practice gives certain hours, as many OF
his profession do, TO free consultation and pre-
Scrbing Tor patients who are too poor TO pay a
doctors charges. In one OF these periods an
Irlshman presented himself among the sufferers
who desired relief and showed the doctor ms
knee, which, for some cause, was giving MN
much distress.
After an examination of Pats affected knee
the doctor said: Put belladonna plaster on
your knee and wear it there few days, ana
then come and see me again. "A phwat:
queried the puzzled patient "A belIadonna
plaster repeated the physician. But as rat
showed by his looks that he was as much myStl-
fed as ever. the doctor wrote upon slip or
paper the prescription and directions, and the
Irishman took it away with him
He returned on the third or fourth day after,
and with rejoicing ring in bis voice told the
doctor he was a dale betther,n and the pain
had almost disappeared from his knees in
toirelyN
The doctor inquired if he had faithfully ap.
piled the plaster as directed and Pat replied
that he had, and showing up his trousers leg he
dlsdlayed to the doctors astoGished gaze, So
curely fastened around his knee, not the bella
donna plaster, but the prescription paper which
the doctor had given to him. II had worked
the cure, or rather the faith which Pat had in
its potency had healed his ailInent by letting
nature have her way and helping her curative
power by his own mental acquieScence, or, III
other words, his faith. The case is, we believe,
Illustrative of most of the cases that are quoted
faith cures - "miud cures. - etc

1t has been determined to change the
color of the &c. postage stamp, bearing
Gen. Grants portrait, from green to YER
million. The change is not made because
of the war on the green stamp, but because
it creates confusion to have both the &c.
and 4c stamps the same color Some light
is thrown on the change from brown to
green in the &c. stamps. Brown ink, it is
said is metallic, and made bad work on the
stamped envelopes, clogging the dies and
blurring the lines. When the dies were
washed with benzine they did not for a
while take ink readily, and light impressions
were the result. A proposition at one time
to make the &c. stamp red was vigorously
opposed by the contractor on account of the
increased cost it would entail Will this
explanation cause the objectors to green
to cease their grumbhng!

All covered by the little flowers,
Woos me in all my waking hours,
Down in the quiet burying ground.

1t appears that the President synpathizes
with the movement to settle disputes be-
tween different nations by arbitration. In
receiving a memorial the other day, signed
by many of the leading citizens of Massa-
chusetts, he said he was conscious of GER
tain practical difficulties in the way of ar
bitration, but believed the time was not dis
tant when nations would look back with
amazement upon the wars of the present
day. There will he no arbitration for ras-
Gals, however. The war on them will be
continued.

times very sharp and often quite disrepu-
table. Their latest is fraudulent telegram
of congratulation from jefferson Davis to

Objectionable in it, but its fraudulent per-
petration on the public shows to what
