The April issue or Tu LiBaaar Maga zine, containing Us Usual variety of current literatuie of the highest order, announces that with its next issue radical changes will take place. It will thereafter be published weekly instead of monthly. Without in crease in price it will give an increased smouiit of valuable literature, and great gain in froshnesa and timeliness will be pos sible. The form of the page will be made somehat smaller so that the numbers and the bound volumes, particularly, will be more con venient. A fit that is probably without preceden t in the history of periodi cal literature is stated by the publisher, vit s that it is necessary .frequently to repiiut large editious of the back volumesrunning as far back as 1879.

In regard to the prevailance or crime, I think the main cause is in inculcating such doctrines as lngersol ism, making people believe there is no fu ture punishment for the bad deeds. I often wonder"why the press don't discuss such causes and etfecta, here they let Ingersol ge about as a roaring lion seeking whom be may devour, lecturing openly to crowded audiences. To my mind he is a great ani mal. To my mind he has murdered his thousanda of souls and body, and be ought to.be chained in the penitentiary for all the crimes he has been the cause of. I read about a murderer that confessed to seven murders, exclaiming at the gallows, "I am an Ingersol man." Now, how many mur derers, forgers, villians, tramps and all kind of bad characters say in their hearts, I am an Ingersol man." I will close at present aa I am not used to writing, being only an old fashioned farmer, but I wish that the press would discuss those matters that con cern so much the weal or woe of mankind.

Cetnimunicatton. UirrmiTowE, March 27, 1886. Enrroa Sestiselaso Ripislica : A Communication in last week's Tribune again urges a county bridge across the river at Thompsontown. Perhaps, if the Ttibutu writer would give half aa much time to rais ing a subscription to build a bridge as he does to saddle the building of the bridge on the county, a substantial structure like the one that a former generation built on subscription, wouid soon stand where tin old one spanned the river. Why not do like the people of Mexico, and Port Royal, and Mitiiintown, and like your daddy help ed to do 1 From the bottom of my heart I wih you a bridge- If you get a free br.dge we isaut oue here, though it is nut lor the benefit of the people at lorge to tax them selves so hard that the earnings of their property is gathered np by the tax collect or. The Tribam contributor talks about the poor man, which is only for the purpose ot Koitiug bim to loan himself to the Tri bune man's plans. It is not to the interest ot por men to help increase the burden of taxa iou, because it prepares a load which tbi-y must help to bear, if they become property holders, and tht history of the country is that the poor men ol one gener al ion are the rich ot the next, and the rich of one generation are the poor of the next. The ta.K of my friend ot lh Tribune about the poor man is too thin lor common sense, but soiueti mes such clap trap catches on a m m who has more 'gob than common sense, and who don't care how much he piles it on others, if he is left out of the responsibility, fur instance, when a careless old man sauntered into a by street in I In. town, and tumbled himself into a quarry in getting around a fence, and (hen sued the borough ler damages, the case goes to court, the glib tongued (ellow with no com mon sense and less responsibility "chins it" at Hie jury till they y ield to give an outra geously heavy verdict of damages against the borough. The money that pays the verdict is to be paid by the property hold ers of this town, and the bulk ot it goes in to the pockets of lawyers. When the Thompsontown bridge question wg before the grand jury, nhat then Did the syndi cate that was raised go into the pockets ol a couple of lawyers . My friend seems to be getting away from the idea, that what ever can he done hy the people ought not to be doi.u by government, national, state, county it township, because wb'-n govern ment must do everything the tax rate eats up ail ot the earnings of the property bold er, as against the principle of govermueut conducting every Ihing, companies a:e chartered, rulioa Is, bridges aud turnpikes are built ly coinpanvs. My tiieiid ol the Tribune speaks of ihe Court House to help him en with h:s Cj.se. Well, ihe Court House and fre- bridges are not alike in any one single jaittcular. Court Houses arc built by uuney of the property holders, uot for the lawyers, thoiuU some of them walls around as if they Were buiit lor their espec ial use, thvy are built for the purpose ot keeping the title p)efs of the people, aud Ihe records ot real estate obligations, and as a place where ail may meet to settle dis putes that from time lo time arise among people, the .aayers are siuip y a class of professors, wLo cllin to kuotv the laws that have been enacted by legislatures to se ttle disputes that arie among people. Couid a syndic ito be raised to buy a couple of professors to Ti n a bridge question tLromth s iu'V f Was that done Did I the prolessors put the money in their pock ts ai d not use it t DiJ they nse it on Ihe jury 1 If a company will build a bridge and not he exorbitant in its toil, the public should not touch hridgo building, i' a com pany is exorbitant in its charges the trouble may be corrected by process of law, but to tax ail of the property holders just for the put pose of making it convenient ' for peop!c who pay w ta, is a great wrong. If my friend of the Tribune an 1 myself have a business across the bridge, there onglit to be bu-dness enough it it to keep ns from asking the ptioltc, who have no general interest lit our affairs, from paying the toll for our business, and if we hive no business over the bridge, but seek pleasure or convenience, is it rubt to ask the prop erty bidders to pay for our pleasure and convenience F You snd I have to pay for the sdvautage and convenience of riding or shipping on the railroad, 1 prefer to do that to giving the railroads over to the state, to be kept up by taxation, how is it with yon my friend, would you like the country or state to own the railroads and have them kept up by taxation ? The canals of this Commonwealth were once owned by tne State, and every year the State got deeper in debt, bankruptcy looked the people in the face, the public works were sold for a song, bat that sale saved the State from bankruptcy. Perry county will want to unload ber bridges by and by, so will Mif flin county, even if they have to give them away. If the people of Juniata load up with a debt of four river bridges, they will entail a debt upon their grand children that w dl cause them to do anything but bless their graud parents. MIFFLINTOWN. Communication. all but 5950 Focsna accocstko roa. Ma. EniTOR. I was exceeding glad to read the correction of my communication of several weeks ago by Mr. Page. I cer tainly have no desire to misrepresent any body. To Henry Siefcer 1 owe an apology. We are however remiuded of the story ol the colored preacher and brother Jones. Tho preacher was examining his congrega tion with a view to ascertain whether all were iu good shape, spiritually, to commune the following Sabbath. "Brudder Jones," he iutorrogkUd. "d.d you take auy cbio ena lately ?" No aan," 'Did jon take any turkeye 1" "No to, ' WeU did you take any geese I" No tab, I didn't," "Well yon V can commune then." Brother Jonei was heard to say afterwards, "ef he'd a said (Jacks, be'd a had me." So If I had said Jb in place of Btnru Sieber, I'd a had him. As for the 200 pounds, I am to confident, that, I will refer the matter to others that heard the conversation. One disinterested person, who was present, says, Mr. Page said 200 pounds. One of ns mutt be very much mistaken. To tell but fifty pounds In one week, would not be telling much like "hot cakes." He also states that he did not tell Hast year" but In 1884. He prob ably told it both years got the thing, that is the oleomargarine, mixed np a little in his mind. I often heard of persons get ting things on the brain." It la possible, too, for a man of Miftllntown said, tince Mr. Page made explanation, that In 1884 some one went as far out as Richfield to get a lot of butter and brought it to town and sold it out He bought some also at Mc Alisterville. Of this be got, and, in nslng of it in cooking, his wife dropped tome on the stove, and it raised an awful "smell." It waa no doubt of the same 50 pounds. Of course, Mr. Page didn't sell it io Aim lor butter. It wasn't labeled aud the huckster didn't have time to "rise and explain." In conclusion I will say, if the reader is in need of further information on "misrepre sentation," he is referred to any one of those who were in the bouse previously men tioned. The advice Mr. Page gives "to take notes as I go along," I will endeavor to follow and let us also remember all we say and be as wise as serpents and as can ning as foxes, lor the chap has been round a ear before we knew it seeking to be de voured. He must be a shuol of a fellow. GRANUER. Letter From Kan San. Tofeka, Kansas, March 24, 188G. Ma. EDrroa Spring is here often a hard winter and aa usual the loss in cattle on the plains is small. Ranchmen are anxiously looking to their aunual round up so that they can definitely determine their loss. It is known that their loss is not sutlicientlv large to induce them to provide feed and shelter in the future. It's a pity, as the stock must suffer terribly in such weather as we have in the last two winters. It has been proven beyond all question that south western Kansas ia just as good for fruit as California, and it is settling up wonderfully fast. There is beiiir planted oue of the lar gest vineyards of the world out there. The cheap rates on rai heads is bringing emi gran ts faster than ever belore. Tho through cars to California are crowded until two en gine's are required lo draw each train aud all this stir gives our town a big boom. Large amount ol real estate are changing hands every day. Our town is full ol stran gers. Lueky is the man who secures a homestead now where they are to bo had lor school resources. Old Uncle Sa:n 'has been especially kind to his bay Kinsis in giving us land for school purposes. We have yet 3o0,0mj acres of unsold land and we have permanently invested the fund of $3,o2,U00, the interest ol which is applied yearly to our schools, which are just as money can make them. Our State University at Lawrance is just as good as money can make it, with a build ing, well, I almost said it, second to none other, with over four hundred students in it now. The students had a contest here last week, in the Graud opera house for the best speaker iu the stale. A Lawrance young man got the championship of tbo state. Re poi's tiom most all parts of thj state pro nounce the lie.it in the groii'i 1 as In splen did condition. A Texas company has made a couttact in England to deliver 0,000,000 pounds of beet in their refrigerator vessels, they have been running several between Galveston and European ports for about three years. We are now building a rail road directly through the Indian Territory to Galveston, that connects u wiih the old world direct. There are three rail roads quarreling lor ihe right of way through our city, they will sweep and take many little homes. '-Let them come" is the motto of Kansas,, but we don't want brains nearly as bally as we want money. Bring your mon ey out here and invest it and sit down and watch it double np, 'tis a sure thing, if you do not buy too much snd go in debt. The curse of new comets is, good chances, see li g so many chances lor butter investmeuts than they ever saw they cannot reject the temptation to go in debt, then the in iney loaner gets his hands oa them with interest at 12 to 18 per cent., and they are m tron- Ji come urre nu iay oui dubt bis futur assured. Men coming here should be careful and avoid buying bo gus drafts. It appears that old men are the silliest. The other day a sharper victimized an emigrant, on the cars, ami was about getting away when the conductor shut him, be is in jail. But 1 must not take up too much of your space. T. B. THOMPSON.
