PURITY BEFORE POLITICS.

Philadelphia voting lists have been purged of
nearly $4,000 names placed thereon to swell the Re

months the policemen and other city employees I'M

making canvass for the purpose of learning the
extent of illegal registration The police made re-
ports alleging that more than 10000 names were
on the lists IN violation of the election laws
The Republican machine of Philadelphia in
audaclty and corruption, transcends the infamy of
the posthumous Tweed ring of New York Matt

Jerome of New York. What such men undertook
to do was greater than whipping an army in the

gallant fight in Philadelphia, but neither his eff
forts nor the efforts of independents of all parties
could avail against the votes of sixty thousand dead
men on the polling lists
The rape of the ballot in Philadelphia is more
startling in its developments than the revelations
OF the whisky ring of years ago, the more recent
upheaval of corruption in Missouri and the charges
against the beef trust which are to be tried in
federal court at Chicago. All of these abuses pri-
marty have their origin in the debased ballot
which makes it easy for rogues to bride and control
legislation in favor of monopoly and graft.
The sad feature for contemplation is the haste
OF reputable lawyers to accept fees from rich Grim

sand IN the eyes of justice. Few are the lawyers

Paul Mimi. Archbishop Ireland announces that he
has decided to erect new cathedral in that city
The work will begin next spring. and the cost will
be at least million dollars. "In 1850" says his

Cretin, two priests and few hundred Catholics.

dioceses, each bearing rich harvests of spiritual
work in the service of God and of souls; and it

NOT A MIRACLE.

story comes from Y ork Pa. that sounds very
like those ST. Ann Beaupre miracles. That the cure
was not completed at a shrine will make some pious
! people wonder; that the person cured was not a

not be miracle at ALL yet it stumps the DOCTORS
In brief, the story relates that daughter of
Edward F. Eandersloat who had not walked in
twelve years. the other day said to her father:
Papa, want to get up and walk To the surprise
of those present. the girl Strengthened up, raised
her feet and proceeded to cross the room unaided.
The best physicians in York had pronounced her
case hopeless, and the father had spent thousands
of dollars In the effort to effect cure Yet here

money and medicine. 1t is presumed by this time
the girl is walking about on the street The story
Is not complete without giving the assigned cause
OF the cure. Mr. NanderSloa said it was the result
OF family prayer and the prayers of friends. He
could, he says, give other reason.
1t is noticeable that in all or nearly all in
stances of alleged miraculous cures doctors before
hand confessed inability to cure the patient or even
diagnose the disease. This happened in the York
girls case. Was hers miraculous cure therefore.
under such presentation of fact? If the girl had
been IN the last stages of tuberculosis and recovered
the strength of her lungs as suddenly as she re-
gained the use of her legs, such might be called
miracle, because such restoration was against every
principle of medical knowledge and experience.
There is no such evidence of miraculous interven-
ton because the girl walked when doctors said she
would never be able to do so. Medical knowledge
has been greatly enlarged of late years but most of
1t remains to be discovered through experiment.
Much of what is applied in practice now will be
dropped for something newer and better next wear
and the next. Doctors appear little inclined to ex-
pertinent along psychological lines. Therefore. TAX
ing all things into consideration we must conclude
that the York girl was made whole through her firm
faith IN the efficacy of prayer. But that does not
make the cure a miracle
This conclusion does not upset but uphods the
theory that constant thought generates a mental
power great enough to overcome the physical and
so cause disease to yield to its will How it is done
none can answer, more than man can analyze the
properties of electricity. But we cannot conceive
OF thought having such power unless it be based on
the strong faith that what is to be must come
through constant, earnest prayer

OsTRACIsM IN THE EXTREME.
(The Tidings. Los Angeles


Since the platform of social ostracsm has been
adopted by the woman's organization known as the
Daughters of Faith, it seems to have become popu-
lar idea. The Daughters of Faith who set
themselves up against the divorce evil are setting
themselves against one of the alarming evils of
American social life; but whether the idea of So
cial ostracism, carried TO extreme ends Is prac-
tcabe, is problem. Some think among them Car
dinal Gibbons according to quoted interviews, that
carrying out the idea is playing in5o the hands OF
trouble How much more likely Is the Daughters
OF Temperance the latest ortraczing society likely
to run amuck of difficulties Among its rules are
these: 1t will bar from membership women adj
dicted to the drink habit The members are directed
to instruct their families not to associate with
neighbors who drink wine at their meals. Such at
least, Is the Indignation of competent journals.

yard because the neighbors take wine at meals One
would be obliged to rise to the heights of fanc to
