AFTER DOODLE.

Just as there are Republican lead.
ers to-day, hungering and thirsting
for the conquest Of the Philippines
and the subjugation Of Hawaii, for the
sake of the opportunities for plumber
and patronage which their posses
sion will involve, there were Repub-
lican leaders thirty years ago who
would have prolonged indefinitely
the period of military subjugation
aud political bondage of the South
for the same selfish and shameless
considerations. It is we'll to remem-
Der how and why the military domi-
nation of the Republican party at the
South came to an end. It was not
the Southern people, disfranchised
and fettered by iron-clad oaths and
disabilities, kuklux and enforcement
laws, who wrought their own deliver
ance. The conservative people of
the North soon realized that the
same measures of repression and op-
preston which were being resorted
to to stife all political freedom at the
South would in time, be employed
and be found equally effectual to
crush all opposition to the Republi-
Can party in the North. The opera
tions of Johnny Davenport in New
York showed how the same law and
the same agencies which made South
Carolina or Louisiana a helpless
"proyince under the rule of a Re-
publican satrap might eventually re-
duce the city and State OF New York,
or any other Democratic constituent
| cy at the North, to the same helpless
and degraded condition.
The result was that revolt against
the growing spirit of "imperialism T"
in the Republican party, which pre-
vented Grant from receiving nomi-
nation for third term at Chicago in
1876, and that still wider revolt
among the people at large which
gave to Samuel J. Tilden, the Demo
cratic candidate, popular and cleo
toral majority as Grants successor.
The award of the presidency, to
which Mr.. Tilden was rightfully
elected, to Rutherford B. Hayes, Of
Ohio, by the electoral commission.
did not wholly Illustrate the popular
will. Under Mr.. Hayes the bonds Of
military rule in the South were grad
ually relaxed and the Southern States
restored one by one to their right o.
self-government and representation
in Congress. It is well for all gooc
citizens to remember these facts anc
to consider well the consequences al
home, as well as sbroad, of reyivine
the policy Of military domination
which the Republican party was 81
ready after the war to apply to tn.
conquered South.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 24.-The Ep-
worth League disturbance over the Off
cial conduct of its secretary, the Rev.
Edwin A. Schen. ID. d.. was suddenly
terminated today by his own act i'll
rendering his resignation to the board OF
control This was done after the board,
with but one dissenting vote. had adopt
ed the report of a committee in these
words:
Eve find the Epworth League to be
in a state Of unrest by reason of the
agitation over the official conduct of
General Secretary Edwin A. Schell, d.
ID. This unrest seems TO be due III part
to the misconception Of action of the
board of control at its meeting at In
dianapolis, caused by the reading into
IFS statement Of serious official wrong,
a moral judgment which it did not ex-
press and had no authority to express,
and in part TO arrangements and criti-
cisms based upon flying rumors of ire
sponsible parties, unsupported by proper
evidence. whose currency has been fit
ted to misead and defeat rather than
promote the ends Of truth and justice"
Regarding himself indicated by this
declaration, DR. Schell rendered his res
ignation and it was accepted with re-
gret. and with an expression of admira-
ton for his ''meekness of spirit, energy,
resourcefulness and marked ability"

most serious epidemic of smallpox has
broken out in several nearby counties
Or. ]. III. Mccormack, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, who has just
made tour of the infected district

IN population of 1,S00 there are
fully 500 cases Of smallpox in various
stages at Uniontown There are many
cases in the adjacent county. The dis
ease has been conveyed from Uniontown
to Crittenden, Hopkins, Muhlenberg and
Henderson counties. Up to my visit the

denied the extent of the disease. The
danger TO that section of the State is
great.
THE State Board of Health has
placed the town in absolute quarantine

general vaccination. Our limited appro-
priation, the smallest in the Union. was
