INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 16.-Suit
was filed in the United States district
court this morning by Julia Marlowe
Taber against the Indianapolis Journal
Newspaper company. asking S25. 900
damages for an alleged libelous criti-
cism published Dec. IS, 1894. The mat
ter complained of reads as follows:
Mrs. Taber's supporting company
has ever been selected with a view to
shine by contrast with a few only fair
and a great number of absolutely poor
people The bulk of them have been
playing My lord, the carriage waits
parts in first-class companies for
years. The real truth is Mrs. Taber
has been trifling with the good will of
the public and her friends
The complaint alleges that Mrs. Ia
Der is a resident of the state of New
York, has been an actress for seven
years past, and that at the time of
the publication of the preceding criti-
cism she was supported by a company
of experienced players selected at Il
great expense. The expression My
lord the carriage waits" is averred
by Mrs. Taber to be everywhere un-
derstood as referring solely to those
who have neither the ability nor ex>
perience to play parts of any conse-
Ouence

A rHxo=EnGED SWORD.

1t is not an infrequent experience
with men and communities that the
eXpedients devised to meet a tenn
pOrary emergency return to plague
their inventors. The city of New
York will undoubtedly find it is not
exempt from this. In order to sup
plement the action of the people in
turning Tammany out Of control,
and to make a clean sweep Of the
Tammany element holding office I'M
der a fixed term, the legislature, I'M
der the whip and lash Of public opin-
ion and the press, passed the removal
from-office act, which authorizes the
new mayor to make removals from
office at pleasure. He is promptly
acting upon the power given him,
and appears to be using it wisely and
we'll.
The danger, however, is not in the
present, when the spasm of reform
has put a good man in power but
in the future, when this public Wig
lance is relaxed, as it inevitably will
be, and the element recently eX-
PEELED restores itself to power. This
element is always vigilant; it never
sleeps, and when overthrow in one
of these intermittent irruptionS of
disgust, it sets itself to work at
once to regain it's position. 1t knows
that these efforts for reform are
spasmodic. 1t knows that after great
effort there comes inactivity, relaxa-
ton and Indifference, and it knows
that during this period it can get
control by its usual methods.
The period of good government is
always short; that of bad govern
ment always long. The vicious eIe-
ment is willing to take the chances
of dismissal at long intervals, pro-
vided that it have the chance to
fatten off the public in the interim.
The deSpOtic power now being used
by conscientious mayor in~the in
terest of good government will be
equally employed by the mayor of
| the SlumS, who will sooner or later
succeed Mayor Strong, to work a
public injury. William M. Ivens.
who was the comptroller of New
York city and has taken an active
part in the movement that has over
thrown Tammany, commenting upon
this act, says: Government by a
good dictator may be the best gov
eminent, but the time will come for
the bad dictator to be in power. 1
say now that we may seriously rue
what we have done. By the abolition
of government by mayor and coun-
Gil we are running a great danger,
and in the future we may have to
pay great price for it,

Pastor 81. Nary7s Catholic Church
Catholics observe the season OF
Lent with marked fidelity. 1t is foI'
them a time OF penance and prayer.
It is true that the discipline of the
church has been changed in some
respects The more rigorous laws
of the early ages of fervor have
been abrogated, and the strict fast
has been modified, but the peniten-
tial spirit remains.
1t is the same now as it always
has been. Large numbers gather in
the churches on Ash Wednesday to
have the ashes placed upon their
heads in sign of penance, just as in
the early ages the public peni-
tents stood outside the doors
and loudly clamored to be per-
mitted to enter on the penitential
season to do penance for their sins.
The ordinary practices recon-
nended for Lent are the Lenten
fast, the assistance each day at the
holy sacrifice of the mass, attend
ance at the evening services and in
structions, and the way of the cross.
The faithful, moreover, are recon-
mended to refrain from those amuSe-
ments which may not be in keeping
with the holy season.

a PROFESSION IN DISTRESS.

It is a pitiable spectacle, even in a
Minnesota Legislature for men repre-
senting a certain profession to come
in to the law-making body and ask
| for an enactment to protect them
from competition with others in d
similar line of business. Only few
months ago the medical association
announced that it would ask for a
law prohibiting the issuance of hos
pital insurance tickets, because, it
was stated, the men who would 9TH
erWise become the patients of the
doctors were, under this system,
cared for at the expense of the hos
pitfalls, thus working a hardship
on the profession" as it was pathet-
ically stated. The worthy leeches
have apparently abandoned this
pious idea, and have substituted a
bill to abolish the use of all medi-
cines except such as have printed
upon the package or blown in the
bottle the formulate of the article.
This is an unwarranted and I'M
justifiable discrimination against a
business everywhere recognized as
legitimate and honorable, and should
not be allowed even the courtesy of
a report by the committee having it
in charge. Reputable physicians of
recognized ability need no protec-
| ton from patent medicines, and the
doctor who cannot compete with the
maker of nostrums in a fair and
open field should at once find his
proper level in some of the lower
walks of life. Many of the standard
proprietary preparations are pre-
scribed by the best physicians, and
the really reputable doctors do not
hesitate to use such in their prac-
tice because they know what is
good. 1t is the pettifogger in law
who stars on his professional stand
ing, Just as it is the empiric in
medicine who is a sticller for pro-
fessional etiquette, and who would
bar out all the quack nostrums eX
cept his own. Let this bill die a
natural death, as it did two years
ago and as it will two years hence,
and at every other session of the
Legislature where q jack-statesman
can be found to introduce it.

a FORTUNATE DRIFTING.

The late Sam Randalls son was in
Washington the other day, and ran
across reporter of the Washington
Post. The young man is q univer-
sity student, which is in itself a dis
tinction, but the fact that he men
toned to the reporter the fact that
he was the manager of the banjo
club of the university indicates that
there are grades above university
membership, one Of which is being a
memberSOf a banjo club, and a still
higher is being it's manager. The
young man has a pardonable pride
in the memory and reputa ton of his
father, and intimated that he might
follow in his footsteps, and become
member of congress, but it would
be as a Republican and not as a
Democrat, the Democratic party hav-
ing, he says, "drifted away from my
father"

they are ascending in a balloon it is
impossible for them to tell, were they
to rely upon their vision only, wheth-
er they were not stationary in the
balloon, and it is the earth that is
receding from them. 1t is possible
that the late Samuel Randall. as
we'll as his reverent son, really be-
lieved that the great Democratic
party was drifting away from him.
There was some justification in this
if they did not distinguish between
the Democratic party and Democ-
racy. 1t was in the days of the late
ex-speaker that the Democratic party
began it's slow and tortuous path
backward toward Democracy. It
had become quite thoroughly satu-
rated with protectionism, and it was
in the latter days of the ex-speakers

ly began.
Mr.. Randall preferred to keep in
touch with Pennsylvania sentiments
the preference having some con-
nection with the fact that it was
necessary to do SO in order to retain
his seat in congressman probably
convinced himself with the thought
that Democracy was drifting away
from him. The success that the
party had as a result of this separa-
ton justified it's action, and the re-

/ heartily approve the spirit of
the Lenten season. Of course, the
PRESBYTERIAN church does not for
mally recognize the observance OF
Lent, yet it has frequently and APP
propriately made that period an oc-
casion for special services. This
growing custom has been most bene-
fetal Such services will doubtless
be arranged for again in our local
churches, and l shall be pleased to
assist, as far as l am able, in de-
veloping the regenerative power
which have found them to possess.
The value of Lent lies in the
breathing spell which it makes in
the years race for material sue
cess. 1t gives the needless Christian
an opportunity to think. Nor could
such a spiritual interruption be more
appropriately based than on that
striking interval in the Savior's life,
when so many great events precede
the final triumph of the resurrection.
Lent thus relates to the year as
Sunday to the week. The supreme
necessity of Sunday, observed as
holiday from work and a day for
religious exercise, is not sufficiently
appreciated. I am firmly convinced
that, without the Sunday, the prog
ress OF Christianity would have been
relatively feeble, and the church
hn NV
Gus factor in human life that it is
today. This is true because, by in
terrupting the course of our secular
affairs, we temporarily free the
mind, and by giving the mind a
turn towards spiritual, religious
matters, it is impossible to avoid
accomplishing some good on every
Sabbath, for every one who so OBJ
serves the day. Who can tell the
boundless benefits accruing to mill
ions of men from thousands of such
Sabbaths! This is the benefit of
Lent. In various ways it breaks
in upon the social and the personal
life of almost all Christians, turning
their attention from the things OF
this world to the things OF the world
to come.
l cannot say that [ would consider
any routine observances advisable
in the forty days preceding Easter,
yet the cessation of social activities
and the more rigorous adoption
even for a short time, of those self
denying principles which should
characterize the entire Christian
year, must certainly be beneficial
These benefits are augmented and
developed by special religious SER
vices.
The immediate danger of all
formal obSerYances, both in religion
and elsewhere, is that form may sup
plant spirit. Certainly, no Chris
tan church believes, however, that
forty days Of scrupulous conduct
will supplant eleven months of lax
ness. The fault lies, however. no>
with the general rules laid down,
which are doubtless essential on the
grounds of practical uniformity, bus
in the individual. This variety of
moral subterfuge is a universal hu-
man weakness, and is evident in
many other matters as we'll as in
the observance of Lent.

One of the disheartening features
of last year was the rise and spread

after the magnificent aSSemblage of
men of all religions in the congress
of the worlds fair the preceding

bat a passing c"aZe, an epidemic of
sixteenth century hate, a recrudes-
cence Of the spirit that deluged
Europe in blood.
A few Republican papers were in
dependent enough to try to drive out
the foul bird that had taken shelter
under the wing of their party, and
Democratic papers, instinct with the
spirit of their party, did not hesitate
to expose it's methods, its purposes
and it's horrible oaths of member
ship. They let in the bright sunlight

doom. 1t has been on the wane for
months. Now returning sense is Gre

The purpose and object of Lent is
indicated in the tables of fasts of
the church, wherein it is said that the
church requires on certain days such
a measure Of abstinence as is more
especially suited to extraordinary
acts of devotion. 1t is a mistaken
notion to imagine that such alb
stinence refers to food only, and not
to acts of denial of more spiritual
character.
In countries where the climate ad-
mits Of it, abstention from flesh food
in the early spring has a sanitary
value in preparing the system to
endure the heated term of summer
with greater comfort and better
health The conventional rules for
such abstinence vary in different
countries, ard in the same country
are regulated by conditions Of in
dividual health, youth, age and in
trinity.
An erroneous impression widely
prevails that Lent is a sort of
penance or expiation for the sins
committed during the year past.
No well-informed person imagines
that forty days of enforced devotion
can excuse a sinful life for the rest
of the year, and still less does he
expect to justify a career of alliance
with 1.-The world, the flesh and the
devil during the coming days.
The illustrated papers and the
facetious society reporters are re-
sponsible to a large degree for a
caricature of most solemn feature
of Christian observance To some
extent Lent, as it is observed in
large cities, is a fashionable fad,
forced upon the social circle by the
excuses of those who desire relaxa-
ton from the fatigue of festivities.
In this form, at least, it has the
merit of rest cure"
The real purpose is to prepare the
heart and mind, and body as we'll
for the enjoyment of the great fes-
tival of Easter. The teaching.
meditation and thoughtfulness Sc
cured by an observance of the sea-
son secure a more intelligent appre-
citation of the event that crowns the
forty days.
Whatever contributes to this end
may be considered a legitimate
means of devotion. The frequent
services the many danialc ORC ,o+
ends in themselves, but are means to
assist the devotions of the people by
centering the thought upon the great
features of the life and passion of
Christ, and preparing for the re-
joicing in the glorious contamination
of Christian hope.

Pastor St.Lul&e7s Catholic Church.
Lent is no novel observance, no in
novation on Christianity Fasting
and abstinence were always prac-
ticed by Christians as works of
penance pleasing to God. The early
Christian writer's are witnesses that
a fast before Easter was kept from
apostolic times, not as a matter of
devotion, but of obligation. So uni
versal did the practice become that
in the fourth century st. Basil could
write: There is no continent, no
island, no nation, no city, no corner
of the earth, however remote, where
the Quadragesimal fast is not pro-
claimed" Lenten season of forty days
is observed in imitation of Christ's
example and in preparation for the
festival of the resurrection. 1t is
recorded in ST. Matthews gospel
that our Lord tasted forty days and
nights before beginning His public
ministry, thus leaving an example
which Christians should follow as
closely as human weakness will per-
nit.
That fasting is penitential work,
beneficial to those who practice it
and acceptable to God, will appear to
all who consider the Divine sane
ton Of it in the Bible. Whoever
would have instances of this ap-
prevail has but to, remember that
the city of Nineveh was spared be-
cause its inhabitants did penance
by fasting; that servants of God like
Moses, before receiving the tables
of the law, and Elias, on his journey
to Mt. Horeb, tasted forty days;
that Anna, the prophecies, is COM
mended in the gospel because she
''served God night and day in fast
ing and prayer" that the apostles
tasted before important actions of
their ministry; that st. Paul often
observed the practice himself, and
eXhorted others to do likewise. Why,
the Scripture overfows with pas
sages expressive of the advantages
of fasting and of heavens accept
ance of it.
In the first ages of the church
people observed Lent most austerely,
taking but one meal a day, toward
evening. They abstained from meat
and milk and wine and costly foods,
and often devoted the amount thus
saved to charitable purposes. The
days of Holy week, the last week in
Lent, were styled days of terophagy,
or dry food, because during that
time the faithful restricted their
diet to bread, salt and vegetables.
Their austerities were in har-
mony with their great fervor
The season was sanctified by various
acts of piety. Festivities of all kinds
were discountenanced. Shows were
prohibited by imperial laws, criminal
processes were forbidden, prisoners
were pardoned, slaves became free
men. enemies We're reconciled.

This Yankee nation is a pretty
bright and smart one, or at least it
thinks it is so, and still it can learn
something from such a backward
and uncivilized nation as Mexico.
The juries of that country consist of
eleven persons, with what they call
two suplantes; 'supes," in the terms
of the stage. These supplementary
jurymen sit in the trial of the case,
listening to testimony, but serve no
other purpose than to take the place
of any juryman who may be taken
sick during the trial. If two should
be incapacitated these two supple
mentaries take their places upon the
jury. If no such emergency arises
the eleven jurymen decide the case,
the two taking no part in the de-
liberation or final action. They ara
merely emergency Jurors. This
method could be very we'll adopted
by us, where it would result, as it
does there, in preventing mistrials
or long delays in trial.
