Christians (and the Pope of course
puts his seal Of approval upon these
men, and he is Christian) how can
you protestant preachers and news

Now that the Pope is dead every
one is saying soft things about him.
The press and protestant ministers
alike are all saying what good man
and Christian he was. On which
horn of the dilemma will the press
and the protestant preachers be
placed who say that Leo is q
Christian, "holy man." good man,
etc? If he is right and his system
right, is professionalism sham, fake
and fraud? i would like to ask
the newspapers and protestant preach
ers these questions: Is the worship
of Mary Christian worship? Are
alteration of relics, prayer to the saints
through "holy WATER" bits of bone
and wood, ,etc.-things sanctioned and
approved of by the Pope-are these
things Christian /? Is liquor manu-
factured (as done by the monks and
approved by the Pope) Christian ?

Coming events cast their shadows
beforen
EDITOR CITIZEN:
In the Ns,cs of July 10th A. +.
Rice C'Glide' says, regarding the
nominations for coanty officials of
Northumberland, that ait would be
just, graceful and msgnanimous
act upon the part of the Democratic
party to elect, without opposition, the
same gentlemen who now are filling
the Offices. Mr.. Rice evidently meant
to say "nominate," as there may be q
healthy opposition on behalf of the
Teddyites aided by disgruntled
toddyites.
1t is not exactly clear as TO whom it
would be just-the people, the party
or the officials. And it would GER
tainly be very magpanimous, indeed,
especially when the dissatisfied ele-
ments and the aspiring ones are
considered.
For Instsnce--there is, has been,
and will be opposition, strong op-
position, to the denomination Of our
present able and gifted Common
wealth's Attorney. There il q large
aud growing number of the people
who believe that a change in that
office would be very beneficial to the
interests of the county. They admit
the great abilities of the present in
cumbent and are proud of the dis
tinction he has won by virtue of
those abilities and the honor of
having been the attorney for the
Commonwealth for a quarter of @
century. They believe he has out
grown the office, and only holds it
now as being better than nothing,
until he gets chance at something
better. They point out in evidence
of such fact that he recently sought
election as Judge of the District
Court in opposition to Judge Wright,
and also that few years ago he was
a candidate for nomination as At
torney- General. He appears to have
gotten about all the honor out of the
office it is capable of yielding and as
the pay is trifling and immaterlal to
him, it would look more magnani-
NOUS to him to give the nomination
to some other person. He is not the
only pebble on the beach, although
the biggest one-in the estimation of
his admirers. There are others, aud
they will grow.
1t would seem the part of wisdom
to select one of the younger men of
the county, who has susp and ginger
in him, and is thoroughly innocu-
lated with the germs of hustle-itis,
one who looks forward to the welfare
of the county and not backwards to
what has been. Besides it looks reas.
enable that progressive people should
want public prosecutor who
will administer the duties of the
office in person, and not by
proxy. Of course the present incum.
bent is not TO blame for being sick
80 much of his time, aud unable to
attend to his duties, but it is his mis-.
fortune. The blame lies with the
people who, like Mr.. Rice, insis,
upon thrusting honors upon him
that he is not able to bear.
Thus 1t would seem very "iust
graceful aud magnanimous" if the
Democratic party should select one
Of it's younger members to fill the
position, and thereby give the presen,
incumbent much needed rest.
