We are glad TO state that the
troubles that were so threatening
in the Kirkwood ncighborhood
came TO an end without any serious
result. The prompt action of some
of our citizens in going TO the re-
lief of our friends in that nelghbor-
hood, will serve as n lesson to I'M
lawful and riotous bands Of negroes,
and, we hope, Will teach them that
the time for taking the law into
their own hands has ceased, and
the Intimidation of peaceable and
harmless citizens must stop. Sher-
iff Ross deserves credit for the
prompt action taken by him, and
although he found the clubs dis
persed when he reached Camden,
still We believe if he had found it
necessary 10 summons a posse he
would not have hesitated TO call up
on the gallant riiemen of Capt.
Handy's company, who went TO the
reported scene of outbreak with
the view of rendering themselves
for that purpose. The Rifle Team
were much pleased with the hospi
tality of the Camden people.

There is a somewhat lively discussion
going on, especially in some of the Western
States, as to the disposal of the religious
question in penal and reformatOry institu-
tions established and conducted by State
Authority, and sustained by general
taxation of the people. Must religious
instruction be given in these institutions?
We must, in order to be consistent, accept
the conclusion which follows from the sys-
ten we have adopted, and this is that it is
not the business of the State, as such, to
supply religious instruction anywhere
whether in jails, prisons, or common schools
any more than it is to supply it in
churches. The premises furnished us by
our political institutions forces us to this
conclusion, and there is no way of escaping
from it without more or less discarding the
premise.


If, then, the State, to be consistent with
itself, must give up the system of paid
chaplains, what shall be done? The proper
answer is that religious instruction must
not be formally refused to the inmates of
jails, prisons and reformatories; but left
to be supplied by the voluntary efforts
of those who choose to embark in it, with
out discrimination as between Catholics
and Protestants, subject always to those
rules of order, alike applicable to both, and,
indeed, to all religious sects, which are
required by the necessities of discipline.
Those who have the immediate charge of
paupers and prisoners ought to be selected
for the service on the score of their COM
potency and good moral character, indie
pendently of their religious creeds, and
then they ought to be left free in their own
way to exercise the best possible influence
over those placed under their control and
government. --- .'-''


There is no reason why q. Catholic should
have Protestanism legally forced upon him
because he happens to be prisoner, ol
why a Catholic priest should be excluded
from teaching him at his own charge be
cause the majority of the people happen tC
be Protestants. The religious rights of the
prisoner himself are to be respected, The
one standpoint from which to look at thi.
subject, and every subject of similar
nature is that of honest, candid, and impair
tial citizenship, that asks nothing which il
does not concede, and hence, has nothing
to do with the bigotry or propagandism o
mere sect.

Trouble has again broken out in the
schuylkill coal region. A large mob of
miners, some of them from the Lehigh re-
gion, appeared at Mahanoy City, last Thurs
day, and stopped work at several of the COL
lieries. The men of one colliery refused to
quit, and riot being threatened, the Chief
Burgess arrested one of the men and dis
persed the crowd. Later in the day the
men again gathered at their work, the
Sheriff ordered them to dispdrse, and was
fired at by one of them. The firing then
became general and the Sheriff was driven
into the town. In the conflict several were
wounded on both sides, some seriously.
The Sheriff then telegraphed for military
aid, which was at once furnished by the
Governor, and troops were forwarded to the
scene of the riot. Quiet was restored on
their arrival, but it was not believed the
trouble was at an end.

We prefer an out-and-out Democrat pa
per to the one that claims to be independ-
ent, and yet bellies its claim by continually
denouncing the Republican party. The
journal that is not with us is against us,
and should be regarded as an open enemy
to our cause. We like true independence,
but the miserable counterfeit which some
men try to deceive the country with is like
a stuffed lion-good enough for sign
board, but poor substitute for the noble
king of the forest. Look out for the man
Or the paper that continually boasts of in
dependence. They will generally turn out
to be frauds. True independence shines
out in the acts, not in the words of man.

Here is another incident of Mississippi
life. About four weeks ago, mulatto girl,
aged 10, who had been living for some time
as servant in the house of a farmer, two and
half miles from Verona, in Lee county,
left her service and went to Verona, where
she became house servant, in order to at
tend an evening school. She had been at
her new place week, when one day the
farmer, her former employer, accompanied
by his father and neighbor, all armed with
shot guns, appeared before the house. Two
of the men came in and demanded the girl,
saying she belonged to them. She refused
to 60 with them, and declared that she was
free, which was true, of course. They then
knocked her down, took her by the feet,
dragged her thus through the house, through
the yard, into the street, her clothing torn
and deranged in the struggle, and she
screaming for help, and-this was in open
daylight and in the presence of several men,
besides women and children-set her on a
horse and carried her off. When they got
her home two of them tied her to tree and
fogged her barred back with green withes
until the blood ran. Then they took her to
the house and chained her with trace
chain and paddock to the bed-post. The
next day she was turned to work. and
chained up again al night. After some
days she made her escape, and found refuge
with Southern man, the county superin-
tendent of education, who, after proper no.
tice, sent her to the United States District
Attorney. From the District Attorneys
lips, received the account of the outrage.
Now, cruelty and violence may and do hap
pen in any State. The part of the story
which seems most horrible to me is this: It
is in evidence before the District Attorney,
that the Mayor of Verona, who is it's justice
of the peace, heard the girls cries and saw
the struggle, and when asked why he did
not interfere himself, testified that he
thought it was none of his business; as he
knew that it was only negro girl. Several
other men testified that they stood in their
doors and saw the girl dragged by her feet
out into the road. 1t was none of their bus
mess either. Finally, related this tale to
Democratic judge of the Supreme Court
of the State. He replied that brutality was
found everywhere, North as well as South,
and l could not, with all my efforts, appar-
emily, make him understand that what filed
me with indignation and hopeless disgust
was not so much the act itself, but the fact
that an officer of the law and several citi-
zens could witness it unmoved-because it
was only negro girl. If it had been a
white girl, no doubt the Mayor would have
interfered, and the judge would have been
indignant. If the brutes who should NAL
treat white girl SO, had been negroes, the
country would have risen to lynch them, and
the papers all over Mississippi would have
yelled with fuzzy. 7. Herald.

Now that we are in the midst of the
strawberry season, it may not be inappro-
pirate to state that all who feel SO inclined
can make use of the following recipe for
the manufacture of delicious article of
strawberry sherbet:


''Take one pound of very nice, ripe straw
berries, and crush them to pulp with a
pestle; add to the mass, three pints of wa
ter, and the juice Of one lemon. Let it
stand for three or four hours after stirring
it up well. Weigh out one pound of gran
ulated or lump sugar, and put it in bowl.
Strain the crushed berries over it, and wiring
out the cloth in which they were strained,
SO as to extract all the juice. Stir up the
sugar to dissolve it. Strain again through
a jelly sieve. Serve in lemonade glasses,
with finely crnshad ice which can be pre-
pared by putting the ice into thick towel
and crushing it with the fiat of an axe or
hammer

A correspondent in another column gives
his ideas of the "Labor Question in con-
nection with the rate of labor compensation.
He seems to think that the laborer is enti-
tied to fair remuneration, and that wages
at present are not too high in proportion to
the prices of other commodities. We
heartily endorse his views in this respect
Labor is not too high, while beef, -four, and
the necessaries of life continue at the pres
ent rates. With good wages the men who
sweat for living can hardly make both
ends meet; with smaller compensation they
would be unable to pay their honest debts.
AS rule ''the better the wages, the better
the times" There never was more pros
porous period in the history of our country
than during the five years of the late civil
war, and why? Simply because labor was
amply remunerated! AS consequence
money was plenty, and through the wages
Of the laborer stimulus was given to every
department of trade. During those years
the merchant, the tailor, the butcher, the
baker, and candlestick- maker, were full of
business and amply repaid in cash. There
never was NOR ;. .siness, nor more money.
Now just as 70 as other commodities are
high, SO long must labor be high. When
eatables, wearing apparel and the like have
come down to ante war prices, then may
labor compensation be lowered, and not till


then. The prosperity of nation is in its
laboring classes. While they are in steady
employment at good compensation the
whole people move on happy, prosperous
and contented. 1t is most important then
that the toilers in our mills, mines, facto-
ries and workshops be well paid, and paid
promptly. There is too much of the spirit
of ''blue-bloodism' in this country, the
main principle of which seems to be the
kicking and snubbing Of the working peo


pie. This is the class that is continually
demanding a reduction of the laboring
mans wages. Not content with turning
up their noses at she begrimed faces of the
honest laborers, they seek 20 crush them
down to poverty through the medium of
low scages. The power, the glory. and the
wealth of the Republic is in the bone and
sinew of the people. Without their labors
we soon would be ship-wrecked; with them
we are safe. By all means let the laboring
men receive righteous pay.

Forty-seven thousand dollars is more
money than most men earn in lifetime.
A package of this amount abstracted from
one of the Treasury rooms at Washington,
is exercising the detectives of the capital,
and unspeakably worrying the spirit of
Treasurer Spinner. The thing has happened
already some half dozen times, but the
money has been generally recovered, and on
the strength of this rather slim precedent
it is confidently expected this last haul will
be got back to its proper place, although no
body processes to have the least clue to it.
1t seems to us that the opportunities to walk
off with mislaid packages might be some-
what narrowed down.

are and will be no trustees. The Bishop is
the only trustee in the diocese, and in his
name all property is held. Under no circum-
stances will we allow laymen to hold church
property or in any way to control it. .
Priest and Catholic are inseparable; the one
contains and ever accompanies the other. So
if societies claim to be Catholic, or wish to
enjoy the privileges usually accorded to Ca
tholic societies; if they will enter the Church
as societies, wearing their regalia and claim
ing honors and attention, they must do as Ca
tholic societies do; put priest at their head.
If they ignore the priest they need not wonder
if he ignors them. :.


The following are the conditions on which
any society within the diocese will be permit
ted to enter any church with its regalia on:


1. Their constitution must be approved
either by the Bishop or priest.


?. Each society shall place priest at its
head as spiritual director, and receive from
him reasonable direction.

Jenney June gives her sex a good
round scolding in her last fashion letter.
She says that the epidemic for striped
stockings which has been raging more
or less for the past two years has at last
taken form which will speedily put an
end to them among refined women.
Luxury in hosiery, of course, there Is
no objection to-if ladies can afford to
pay ten dollars per pair for silk, and
five dollars per pair for cotton hose,
there is no law against it, and no rea-
son why they should not. But there
are reasons cogent with every lady
who possesses delicacy and taste why
she should not dress her limbs in the
attire of ballet-danciers; why she
should not set herself to stimulate and
encourage the ribald conduct OF men
who watch on hotel steps, on the street
corners, at the church doors, for oppor'
tunities to make their jokes on women
who suggest them. A lady may wear,
as many do, the finest of silk, the most
delicate OF thread, she may match the
tints of her dress, and thus harmonic
every portion of her toilet with perfect
propriety; but when she wears her hos
iery only fit for harlequin, and short
ems her dress in front to a vulgar ex.
treme, to show it, there is very little OF
modesty or wOmanhood left that would
not be sacrificed to vanity and love OF
display. The great feature OF the new
styles in hosiery is their cost. For q
good but not extra quality of gray or
brown hose, with an absurd and Himsy
little clocking on the sides, sl.5O per
pair is charged, when. seventy-hye
cents would be high price for them in
white or un bleached cotton. For my
part says Jenny, Il consider these
dingy grays and browns in hosiery
very ugly, and stripes only fit for child
rem and clowns at circus. The quicker
we get back to the fine white or ivory
tinted stockings the better
