Every one of the candidates is taken from the republican ranks and is known as a staunch advocate of republican princi- ples. State Senator Stewart, tho nominee for governor is a lawyer of unimpeachable reputation. General Duft and Major Merrick, candidates for lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs, are old soldiers of wide popularity and of known integ- ‘rily. William McMichacl, who runs | for congressman at large, falls in no wense behind the rest of the ticket. With these men nominated by the best blood of the party in a conven- tion elected by the untrammelled voice of the people at open primaries | and caucuses, the independent repub- | licans of Pennsylvania throw down the gauntlet, to the Cameron clan and appeal to the voters of the Keystone out the oppesition, The concessions which he made to the Catholics by the repeal of the prin- cipal feature of the celebrated Falk laws have so far failed to produce the expected results, They have not elicited from the Vatican any yaluable expression of satisfaction in the way of an assurance that now the Church considers itself at peace with the state and will act accordingly. To a firm will supported by strength, the Church has sometimes bowed, waiting for better times. Buta yielding, con- ciliatory policy cn the part of it op- ponents has always reanimated and stiffened in the church the spirit of domination. - The policy of ‘‘over- whelming generosity” with regard to the church question, which has been recently announced by members of the German'government, will in all prob- ability only result in this, that the Vatican will always be ready to take state for their influence and support.

The chief ground for the warfare which the Pennsylva- nia independents have inaugurated upon the regular organization, and which sums uy all the other com- plainte, is a determination that repub- lican sentiment upon matters of pub- lic and party policy shall no longer be suppressed by an office-holding and an offic-dictating aristocracy, No state has suffered morn than Pennsylvania trom the personal rule of a gang of unscrupulous politi s whose devo- while in prison, and proposed in par- liament by Mr. Redmond, April 26, and at that time warmly endorsed by Mr. Gladstone. It is now introduced by the ministry as a separate measure, It provides as follows for the relief of tenants in regard to arrears of rents: The tenant is to pay the one year’s rent due August 31, 1881, If the rent does not exceed 160 a year, and if he is unable to pay arrears for previous years, he may apply toa land commission proposed by the bill, and if that commission is satisfied the Mexican congress that ‘‘the elec- tion for judges of the suprome court and for attorney general of the nation pass off very quietly,” The facts are that the elections were a shallow farce, only a very few persons voting, and no one daring to oppose the gov- ernment candidates. It is highly probably, however, tnat this dictato- rial reion of Ganzales is just what Mexico needs. Despotisms are often the nurseries of republics, and they are always' preferable to anarchy. During the tyranny of Napoleon IIL, there were sown among the people of France sceds of liberty which ripened into the present republic. It is in combating despotism and fighting for their rights that men acquire the vir- tues requisite to preserve and defend them. The Mexicans are not fit for self-government to-day. 1f Gonzales can keep peace among them while the of 362,000, Among the barbarous customs that British rule has not yet suppressed in northwestern India is that of Samedh, or burying reople alive, It appears that the thakcor of a certain state sent an officer to a village called Upui to collect certain revenues, and when he arrived the Sidhs refused to pay. As the officer insisted that they must pay, 150 of them, in order to intimi- date him, collected before his door and threatened to commit suicide if he failed to give way. S8till he held out, and thereupon they selected two of their number for the barbarous sac- rifice—a man aged 75 and a woman aged 65—and on land owned by the thakoor, burried them both alive, Certain of the villagers tried to pre- vent the deed, but were roundly pun- ished for their trouble.

The Pennsylvania in- dependeuts differ from the regular party organization only in their ap- proval of men and methods. They denounce ‘‘the insolence, the persecu- tion and the tyranny of bossism” as exemplified in the Cameron system. They protest that the party is only a eollection of individual voters, not an automaton to register the decree of political dictators, and they demand that its primaries, caucuses and con- ventions shall be open to every re- publican who can beshown to be such, independent of their views upon can- didates or leaders. The other declara- tions of the platform for civil service reform and the elevation of the pub- lio service spring directly from this demand, the basis of the movement, viz: the free and conscientious exer- ocise of private judgment in political affairs. Public sentiment must no longer be throttled by unscrupulous political managers, This cry the bold protest of the Pennsylvania republicans will shortly ring in every state which is suffering under the same abuses.

But when will harmony be restored. Not until self government is granted to the Irish.people., English ministers have tested every other method of ruling ‘‘troublesome Ireland,” but the one method of permitting her to rule herself in all that pertains to local government. Irish landlording must go. By this is not meant that there must be no landlords in Ireland. Mr. Davitt never intended any such con- struction to be placed on his word. A country without tenantry is incon- ceivable, Ireland for the Irish, as tralia is for the Austrians, and a for the Oanadians, bound to the Writish .ompire only in name ruling themselves, enacting their own laws and fostering their own indus- tries, The summary of marriage and birth returns in France present a startling exhibit.
