CERTAIN SENTENCES in Judge Craig's
recent charge to the Monroe county
grand jury are worthy of memorial
ton. We quote the following ones
1T will not do in n peaceful commun-
ity like this, where 30 far as we know
the law has always been fairly dealt
out, where there has always been JUS
tice, so far as we know, TO say that
persons shall be at liberty to take the
law in their own hands. If they do.
they take it with all the responsibility
connected with it. 1t is, l take it, n
stain to a certain extent, upon the
country it is a stain to the state itself,
that where courts are open, and where
there is every disposition to do what
the law requires, yet that mobs shall
gather together and take the life of a
human being without trial and with
out consent of law. Gentlemen of the
jury, 1t is our duty to do all we can to
uphold the law, aud see that offenders
are punished" A speedy return, in &C
cordance with this wise charge, will
do much to obliterste the stain that
now rests upon that county and upon
this state.

THE SPIRIT or the CONVECTION
P~hRndelphia Press.

iHtftNtipttd fTeSS'
The decisive and significant fact is that
the Republicans OF Pennsylvania find the
party organization responsive to their
Will, they find it accepting and adopting
a high standard Of public action; and
thus comes a unamlmity Of sentiment and
a heartiness of enthusiasm which have
been sadly lacking at times. Republicans
are sensible CT their great opportunity,
but they are sensible also Of the great
duty which it carries. The certain
ty Of a colossal majority did
not lead them into any care
lessness. There was a feeling that the
people everywhere are turning to the Re.
publican party as the only party capable OF
government, ami that It must show itself
worthy of this confidence. The result was
a general expression that in its tone and
quality and impulse it was the best of con-
vention for some years. 1t reflected the
spirit of the Republican masses, and its
own spirit, will be reflected in turn
throughout the state. 1t inaugurates the
campaign in the most gratifying manner
and it pressages a unanimity of purpose, a
cordially of support and q feeling Of en-
thusiasm which will make this canvass
memorable in the history of the common
wealth.

Make Haste SLOWLY.

Throughout the country there is such
a manifest and decided reaction in
favor of Rspublicanism that local
nominations by that party are likely in
some instances to be too eagerly sought.
This is, perhaps, an unavoidable peril
OF prospective success; and no warning
words that can be said in the news.
papers will be likely to have serious
expressive effect. Nevertheless, it is
fast becoming q duty Of the Republican
rank and file. Of these high party pri-
Yates who are in politics less through
hope Of prefsrment than from disint-
crested belief in the party's principles,
to pause and think seriously before
being drawn into heated and acrimoni-
GUS rivalries that may if unchecked,
result in a loss Of the next Congress to
the cause of honest government
We mean these words in a general
sense and are not seeking to hit Mt any
one man or faction or locality. Should
a time COM when it would seem to us
necessary to be personal and particular
in this advice, we shall be so. unre.
servediy, The TRIBUNE has been from
Its inception an uncompromising and
aggressive Republican newspaper, at
the service Of the party in all it's battles,
whether the candidates Of the party
have been its personal preferences or
the reverse. A record thus consistent
will not be marred. This journal be-
lieves that the Republican policies are
best and that Republican candidates,
when fairly chosen in obedience to the
real desires Of the masses OF the party.
are preferable without exception to
Democratic candidates, irrespective of
any feelings that might be entertained
apart from politics.
Upon this broad platform we desire
to suggest that in the preliminary dis
cussion of various candidates, through
out this state and throughout the coun-
try, it would be wise to make haste
slowly. In two neighboring congress
districts we observe such a drift Of fac.
tional eagerness to win temporary su-
premscy within the party councils as
appears to give renewed hope to the
formerly demoralized and detected
enemy. 1t is possible that such a con-
dition may be duplicated in other
states. Good Republicans, who are for
party principles first and for party can
didates s%econdsrily, should view this
tendency with a certain degree of APP
prehension. 1t is one thing to see the
party in good fighting trim; it is q ute
another to have that enthusiasm ex-
hausted in internal d~isSensiops,
When THE TRIBUNE pledged itself to
abide unreservedly the fair and honest
choice Of the convention in its own
territory. it took a stand which might
we'll be taken by its Republican con.
t%emporaries elsewhere. This 10 no year
for domestic party pickering. Let the
preliminary anvas be spirited and
earnest; but let it not be so much em-
Filtered as to leopard the later b1ttls
at the polls.

Soap Paper.

Travellers on the European continent
know by experience that unless they take
soap in their travelling bags they will, in
all probability, have to make their toilet
without any. A form of soap which will
be appreciated by them is the soap paper,
brought out in France. The paper is cut
into pieces, slightly larger than visiting
cards, and is covered on each side with a
thin layer of ordinary soap or of soap vari-
ously colored and perfumed. These soap
tickets are put into memorandum books,
cardcases OF pocketbooks, just as if they
were business or visiting cards. Each
piece serves for one time only and is used
like an ordinary cake of soap. In the man
ufacture of this new product, sheets of un-
sized paper are immersed in a bath of CO.
coanut oil soap prepared in the same way
as for the manufacture of toilet soaps. The
strips of paper are dried passed between
two rollers, in order to render them smooth
and slightly, and then cut to the proper
dimensions and stamped with any desired
mark..-Louisville Courier Journal.

Wired Sleeves and whaleboned Revers

Wired Sleeves and Whaleboned Revers.
Among ingenious devices for holding
expanded sleeves in the desired shape
Worth is using single thread-like wire
stitched. in the upper edge of the sleeve
drapery. This is not put in simple bal
loon puffs, but in a scarf around the top
of close sleeves, starting in the inside
seam, then curving out to give breadth,
dropping to show the sleeve underneath,
open draped top is then faced with rib
bon of contrasting color, and the tiny
wire is stitched along the upper edge in
the seam which adds the facing. Thus
a shot pink and green surah waist has
sleeves of this kind faced with black
MORE ribbon TWO inches wide holding
wire in the edge of the top. Other
trimming on the waist is a bib-frl!l OF
white culture falling low from STOCK
of black MORE ribbon, and almost
reaching belt OF the same.
Another novel way of giving breadth
| to new gowns is that of putting a
a slender whalebone in a revers or huge
bow extending straight across from the
throat out on the wide sleeves. This
is an extreme fancy, somewhat like
the Incroyable reveres and bows of the
Directory period. A straight length OF
silk four or five fingers wide is folded
across in fan pleats, then strapped in
the middle, and whalebone is hemmed
in along the upper edge. When set on at
the throat the pleats each side of the
strap fall like an open fan from below
the whaleboned top, and thus make
an effective drapery for the waist. A
very rich gown with waist of white
Venetian guipure lace has such a bow of
pale blue silk brocaded with purple
violets The lace seleves have wired tops
of the silk, and the skirt is of cloth of
the Iightest shade of Parma vlolets. -
