Yesterday was celebrated in fitting manner the Silver Jubiieo of Right Reverend Bishop John J. Kain of the •diocese of Wheeling. Tho enthusiastic out-door demonstration aud tho vast audience at the services in the Cathed ral attested the respect, esteem aud love the Catholics, and iudeed all who know Bishop Kain have for him. For a quarter of a century he has as a priest of his church ministered to the spiritual welfare of his fellow men urg ing them to better things.not only from the pulpit, but by the example furnish ed In his pure aud Christian life. A man of deep learning and study his chief personal characteristic Is his pe culiarly gentle and kindly nature. I1 irm in principle as a rock, powerful and eloquent In denunciation of wrong aud evil, ho is yet gentle at heart as a woman. Possessing such attractive qualities it is not surprising that, though a young man when elevated to tho Bishopric, he should have been chosen to occupy his present eminence In the Catholic Church. It is doubtful if there is a more popular and generally beloved member of the priest hood in America. The world Is made better by such men as Bishop Kain living in it. He is yet a young man, as Bishops go, and the Catholics of his diocese, together with many sincere and warm friends, of oth er denominations, will unite in the fer * vent hope that he may loug be spared to minister his holy ofUco. MB. HARRISON ANO MR, WANA MAKBK. It may be useless to expect that Mr. Harrison will have sufficient regard for the dignity of his position, the honor of his country and the feelings of all self-respectintr Americans to de mand the resignation of a member of his cabinet, who is seriously, very seri ously, compromised in the Philadelphia bank scandal. However intimate may be the relations in political matters be tween Mr. Harrison and Mr. Wana maker, it is certainly proper that the president of this great country should ' require something more from a mem ber of his cabinet than a lame and en tirely unsatisfactory statement regard ing his connection with criminals. Mr. Vasj.MAXER has been on terms of the ciOSMt Intimacy with notorious bank wreckers, and a great deal of compromising evidence has been made public, which his statement, read before ! the investigating committee, fails [ to Invalidate. It seems that he was ac corded unusual favors by the bank wreckers, and when the crisis came he was allowed amplo time to get finan cially clear, in preference to all others. For two months the looted bank was permitted to receive money from un suspecting depositors, while Mr. Waxa* maker, a prominent officer of the government, perfectly aware of the rottonness of the institution, was secur ing himself. This is the mildest version of the story. Mr. Wanamakeu may have been deceived by Lucas and Marsh, the presidents of the Keystone bank, and he may have lost some money in his dalliance with those sharpers. He says that after very prolonged re lations with those people ordinary busi ness prudence suggested to him that It was high time he should draw out. But ho took good care not to let the public know about the precarious position of the bank. Innocent depositors were thus swindled while a member of Mr. Harrison’s cabinet might have warned them in time. Is it too much, then, to ask for the resignation of tha» cabinet officer, wiio, to say the least, is under a very dark cloud? Even though Mr. Wanamakeu may be very valuable to Mr. Harrison at the n^xt national con vention, there should be sufficient sense of honor In the President of the United States not to have his cabinet smeared with such a foul scandal. Chemistry will play an important part in tho trial of “Frenchy,” the Now York “Jack tho Rlppor,” chargod with tho horrible murder of a dissolute old hag named Cakkie Brown, now in pro gress in the New York Court of General Sessions. Tho prosecution, it is claimed, will show that tho blood on "Frenchy’s” clothes was human blood; that it was from a body already dead; that it was anmmic, weak or watery; that it had been mingled with intestinal fluid; that it represented, in a partially digested stage, food conteuts of tho stomach; that this food was corned beef, cabbatro and rhubarb. With these peints established the prosecution hope to weave tho web of justice about “Frcnchy.” TOO MUCH FOR IT. The Rkgistlu is glad to seo that its esteemed neighbor the Intcltvjcncer has finally takeu up tho cudgel in defense of honesty against the rascals in its own i party. The Intelli'jcncer's stomach has ovidontly for some timo been on the point of turning. It has managed to swallow Quay, Dudley, Raum and the rest of them. It retched a trifle at VVanamaker'sconnection with the Key stone bank scandal and now vomits pro fusely over the Bardsley affair in this wholesome stylo, upon which wo sin cerely congratulate it: The Bardsley business in Philadelphia j s the straw that breaks the camel’s back, j Fhe loss and shame that have como to the nty are felt by thoughtful Republicans who ippreeiate the position in which it places heir paT*k-r*., The Democratic party was ,„I4 .

Robbery is not a platform principle of iny party, but when robbery comes in pub ic office,'the party to which the delinquent xdougs is at once put on trial. The 'orco of the Bardsley stealing roes beyond his own offense. It • ills up a long lino of Philadelphia politle ans who have amassed large fortunes by [•ejson of their connection with public iff airs, men who havo become rich from nothing because they dipped into every sort at' jobbery known to unscrupulous politic ians. Tbo most of them and tho most prominent are Republicans, but any Phila delphian can nut his linger on Democrats who have profited by the combination. When tho respectability of the Republi can partv has revolted there has usually been Democratic help enough, to hold things level for the plunderers. The gang politicians of Philadelphia have been an important part of a State machine which has done about as it picascd , in the politics of Pennsylvania, which was primarily responsible for the movement that defeated General Beaver the first time ho ran for governor, and which again brought the party to defeat when it forced Delamater on the Republican State con vention. „ Tbo misfortune to the Republican party is that this has been a money making machine, which has . stieaked with vulgar scaudals the history of Pennsylvania for the past twenty years. Philadelphia Republicans who feci the dis grace are urging their fellow partisans to join them in a movement to retire the traders from tho places they have for Business men of high standing have taken hold and aro exhorting the party to rallv to the standard of radical reform. Unless there be a real reform movement set on foot in Philadelphia tho large He publican majority of that city will melt away in the next election, and tho State itself will be in danger.

The Water Still Bl*lng—The Same Thing has Occare«t llefnre Los Angeles, Cal., July 2—There is no improvement of affairs in Saiton. The water in the lake is rising, but no special uneasiness is felt by the rail road people. Owing to the almost un bearable heat it is impossible to get any white man to venture on tho desert at this time of tho year. The Indian runner sent by the railroad people has not yet returned, and the boat sent out from Saiton has only been able to get a short distaneo. A telegram received at the railroad office says: “A strong wind Tuesday night from the southeast raised the water on the north shore. The west water line is moving westwards slowly. I I cannot reach the end of the track, and ! I fear the track will go away with tho next strong wind. The waters aro surely but slowly rising. The satura tion is 16 per cent, fresher than Tues day. That the water comes from tho Colorado river which it leaves at a point i near Pilot Knob, there is but little doubt.” A special dispatch from Saiton at 11 o’clock last night said the water was still rising, but not so rapidly as in the afternoon. Old residents of tho city say that while the water is higher tiiau ever known before the Desert Lake is not a new thing, and the phenomenon has oc curred frequently, but from the fact that tho desert is uninhabited, and no one ever ventures across it, it has not been noticed. MADE THE MAJOR SMILE. He Explain* »he Lake Formation—No New Thing in Geological Circle*. Washington', July 2.—Major John Powell, Director of the United States Geological Survey, smiled when ho was asked how he accounted for the sudden transformation of tho famous Death Valley, or Colorado desert, into a great lake, and replied that it was almost too simple a thing to make a story of it. Only a short time ago, geologically speaking, or some time after tho glacial period, when the Colorado river was formed, Major Powell explained, tho river emptied into tho Gulf of Cali fornia about 200 miles from the then head of tho gulf. In proportion to its size and volume of water tho Col orado Is the greatest sand and salt carrying river in the country, considera bly exceeding tho Mississippi in this respect. As soon as tho river reached tho Gulf It began building a great dam across that body of water and cut through this alluvial deposit various ( channels for Itself. Liko all rivers I with deltas, the Colorado was con stantly shifting at its mouths, cutting new channels here and there, and Major Powell believed It had now cut a new channel and this time into the desert. It was possiblo that it had actually changed its main channel and would permanently How into Death Valley, but Major Pow ell thought it was only a temporary overflow. If it was a permanent change, he added, tho dam built by the Colorado might in time wasli away and the Gulf of California resume its old proportions. If it was temporary when the overflow ceased, evaporation would quickly make the lake a desert again, for in that dry climate it would go on at the rate of 100 inches a year. •Judy's Story Didn't Go.

Custom has most laudably sanctioned the joyful and festive observance of what is known as Jubileo year. Hence, in society, we bavo various kinds of jubilees, notably the Silver Juhi some and appropriate dccorafons. J Along the front of the gallery were fes- ; toons of evergreen, and this ch^rful ■ emblem of nature profusely adorned the ; upper and lateral parts of the chancel, all depending objects being especially: adorned. Many boquots and baskets of ] choice cut. (lowers figured, here and there throughout tho chancel, the: Hlshop’s throne being especially bo-; decked. The decorations, taken with the numerous bright lights of the altar, produced a beautiful effect. Along the front of tho gallery ran this inscription In silver letters, “Advenlat arnus Jubilaeus aureus,” freely trans lated being “May you live to celebrate your golden jubilee,” and on the three skies of the chancel was this Inscrip tion: “SacerdosetPontifex, DeoGratias, ad Multos Annos,”—“Priest and Pon tiff, Thanks be to God for Many Years.” At. nine o'clock the strains of the “Keyrie Eleison,” sung by the trained Cathedral choir under the direction of Prof. Herman Schockey, opened the inagnificont ceremonies of the day, and from either side of the sanctuary, the dignitaries, priests and acolytes In the mass celebration appeared.

Immediately after the processional. lee, the Golden Jubilee and tne uiamouu Jubilee—twenty-five, fifty and seventy-tue years respectively. To day, with as much solemnity as possible, we celebrate, Mon seigneur, your Silver Jubilee twenty-fi\ o years of Sacerdotal life! First of all. the clergy of your diocese are gathered in yonr Cathedral by their presence as well as otherwise, to greet you on this great day. They naturally pass n review vour priesthood. Tuev go back in thought to thoso nine years of your sacer dotal lifo in the Richmond Dioc*se-so quiet, so retired, so zealous and so efficient. Thev go back, too, to that joyful February, 1875' when the cable announced that Rome had’appointed a successor to the illustrious first Bishop of Wheeling; that the young but able pastor of Harper’s Ferry was to assume Whelan’s crozier and mitre. Tnen they realized in your person, and in the circumstances, the words of holy writ. You could sav, though your humility no doubt forbade it: “Lord, Thou didst de livor to mo five talents, behold, I have gained other five over and above. Then God said (when Rome speaks God speaks): “Well done, cood and faithful servant; be cause thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Matt, xxv., 25-2tf. . Tho great Bishop of Richmond, later Archbishop ot Baltimore, now Cardinal Archbishop of that glorious Mother Church of this land, was, no doubt, the one who( discovered in the comparatively unknown missionary of Harper’s Ferry, [the same field from which your apostolic predeces sor was chosen] man in all re*peci* fu. equipped for the episcopal^ His 'leaaml his estimate were concurred in by the^Met ropolitan and his suffrages, and Rome by Pius the Ninth ratified their judgment and appointed the second Bithop of W heeling in yonr illustrious person.
