Mr. Ilayes' Four-to-Ono Com
mission are now giving their "con
clusions" to the world, and very
strange conclusions they are. They
conclude that although Packard was
elected Governor of Louisiana, lie
had better desist fiom exercising the
functions of that office, but leave all
such trifling matters to Mr ; Nicliolls,
who although never elected, yet pro
ceeds to act and do just as if he had
been. Now this seems to be very
considerate aud tender towards the
ex-rebels of Louisiana, for a Com
mission four fifths Republican. But
since Commissions are so fashiona
ble just now, bad not Mr. Haves bet
tor make a clean job of it and ap
point another Commission to inquire
into the validity and soundness of
his own title to the office of Presi
dent of the United State. There are
quite a number of people who have
serious misgivings on that particular
point, and we doubt very much
whether Mr. Hayes himself feels al
together able to "read bis title clear"
to the high office. Would it not help
his sleep amazinginglv to know to a
certainty that he is Presidents jure
as well as dc facto ? What say you
to our suggestion, Rutherford ?
One indication that business is
about to revive is tbe fact that a
certain Mr. Blaine of Maine and an
uncertain Mr. Butler, of Massachu
setts—the two busy B's, from the
two celebrated M's— are about to
start up iu business, under the sig
nificant name, style and firm of Cred
it Mobilier & Spoons, head quarters
at Washington, D. C. They will
set up in direct opposition, yea, un
der tle very noses of that other new
firm scarcely yet established—Mr. R.
B. Hayes & Co. There will be sharp
competition for the business of the
country, and while one firm has de
cided advantages in some respects,
tbe other has the inside track in
others. The Spoon firm unites the ex
perience of ripe old agb with the vigor
of manhood, it is true, but the make
upo'f the firm and the kind of goods
they propose to deal in are a little
unpopular to insure entire success.
Their policy will be : Opposition to
the firm of Hayes A Co. Their
goods—Credit Mobilier, Spoons,
Bloody Shirts, a little worse for '
wear, Sectional Hatred, Political
„ Animosities, Rebels, Traitors, Cop
perheads, etc., etc.
The firm of Hayes & Co., will
moetly'deal iu such staple goods as
Peace, Local Self-Governraent, Civil
Rule, Reform, to some extent, Com
missions, Ac., while in the Notion
' Department may be found Errors,
some Bungling, Experiments, Hesi
tation and other Fancy Goods.
Hayes A Co., promise to keep a
large numbei of qualified and gentle
manly Clerks, Carriers and Porters.
In short they seem very anxious to
secure tbe confidence of their pat
rons and the public generally.
As neither firm has as yet given
the JOURNAL any advertising or
JOB WORK, we do not feel bound to
recommend either to our readers,
but will wait awhile to see which
sells the most goods or does the best
business.
The Poor House Question.
A few days hence the citizens of
Centre county wili be called upon to
vote for or against a Poor House.
Are they prepared ? We fear the
subject has not received that atten
tion which its importance demands.
We have tried to gather some infor
mation on the matter and have come
to the conclusion to vote against the
proposed Home for the Destitute.
As far as our observation goes the
poor of the several townships are de
cently kept and well cared for. There
may he exceptions to the rule—as
there are to every rule—but these
are certainly very rare. It may and
does sometimes happen that men
are elected to the office of overseer
who have no proper conceptions of
the sacredness of their trust, but
such instances happen seldom. True,
our vision in this matter is limited —
confined to the secluded and peaceful
vallies where much the greater part
of our life was spent—but if the
other parts of the county provide as
well for their poor as do Penns and
Brush Yallies, then, iudeed, there
is no need to erect a Home , in the
delusive hope of increasing the com
forts of that unfortunate class who
are to be its inmates. On the main
qneslion then—the well being of the
poor—we have our serious doubts
-whether a poor house would be an
improvement on the present system.
As things are, the poor are distri
buted among a number of homes
throughout the several townships,
tnere being seldom more than one'
pauper in a family. This one is to
all intents and purposes a member of
the family, efits at the same table
with the others, and shares the pleas
ures and enjoyments incident to
family life. In short, it has a home.
A poor house, after the manner
contemplated by the law, would seem
to be much akiu to an extensive
hotel establishment, conducted sole
| ly on business principles. Now who
I wauld permanently exchange the
quiet, social com forts of home for
the bustle, the hurry and flurry of
hotel life ? After a trial of a few
days, who is not happy to be again
at home ? These reasons, then, are
entirely sufficient to induce us to
vote "against acceptance," and
there are other considerations that
ought to weigh heavily with our tax
payers.
Is it not a fact patent to all that
our public buildings, our court
houses and prisons, always cost us
much more than they should—often
nearly double their actual value ?
Has not Centre county a sorry histo
ry in this respect ? Take our jail as
an example. It was built, if we cor
rectly remember, in the summer of
1867. The contract price was. we
think, between $40,000 and $45,000,
but it cost the county half as much
more by the time it was completed.
Completed did we say P No. It
never was completed in the sense
that a private citizen would call his
new building complete. It was
grossly defective in many material
respects. "Repairs" have been the
order of the day ever since it is built.
Only last year it hail to be re-roofed,
re-spouted, re-painted and repaired
generally, at a cost of nearly S3OOO.
This is % fair instance of how coun
ty buildings are built and kept up
Other counties fare no better then
Centre. Many similar cases could
be cited if necessary. Could the
county, or rather uouhl it do any
better in buying a farm and building
a "Home for the Destitute ?" We
fear not, and for this additional rea
son will vote "No." "Reform is
necessary," and should we not pre
fer not to buy and build than run
such fearful risks f
A final objection to the proposed
"Home" is that gross mismanage
ment, often great cruelty is practic
ed in our poor houses. The object
is very often lost sight of In the job
bery and speculation of managers
and stewards. This is the caso with
the BUCKS couuty Poor House to-day,
and the same is said of Schuylkill,
Northampton, Lehigh, Mifllin, and
perhaps other counties in Pennsyl
vania. Besides, where a poor house
is closely proximate to a larger town
or city, it tends to increase pauper
ism and its attendant vices. We are
reliably informed that the Mifllin Co.
Poor House has frequent causes of
fornication and basterdy, by reason
of its nearness to Lcwistotcn,
We have tried to treat the subject
impartially and with a sole view to
the public good. For ourself we
fiod ample reasons to vote against
the Home for the Destitute , the euph
ony of the' name to the contrary not
withstanding.
The probabilities are that Hon.
Samuel J. Randall will be Speaker
of the XLVtli Congress. Suits us
exactly.
Grain fields m this part of the
county look well as a general thing.
With seasonable rains, under the
goodness of Providence, we may ex
pect a good harvest.

The next regular meeting of the
Centre County Medical Society will
be held at Bellefonte, in the Undine
Hall, on Wednesday, April 25th, at
10 o'clock, A. M.
The Directors of the Poor of
Bucks county are having their af
fairs investigated by a commission
appointed by tbe court. The Direc
tors are charged with a loose and
elastic system of purchasing sup
plies and book-keeping.
It may not be generally known
that persons who from carelessness
or other causes take mail fnm the
postoffice that belongs to another,
and fail to return the same, are lia
ble to a fine of SSOO or one year's im
prisoument.
We are authorised by responsi
ble parties to state that all violations
of the j letting laws in this vicinity,
will be prosecuted to the utmost ex
tent of the law. This notice is no
scare, but is given in good faith.
Obey the law or suffer the penalty.
FIRES are again the order of the
day. Our neighboring towns, Lock
Haven aud Lewistown, each have
had a large fire recently. The ques
tion forces itself involuntarily upon
us, what would Millheim do in case
of a fire ? Nothing,—absolutely
nothing. We have not the slightest
provisions of any kind against such
a possible misfortune. If Providence
did not protect us better than we do
ourselves, we might have had good
reason to regret our criminal negli
genoe long before now, but there
may be a limit to the patience of
Providence, even. We may be given
over to hardness of heart one of these
days. This matter has been talked
of by our citizens, both in public
and in private so much, that we for
one despair of seeing anything prac
tical done, until, perchance, after
we shall have been visited by a first
class fire. It is not altogether true
that "a word to the wise is suffic
ient," or else we Millbeimers are very
unwise.
Having a little business in Belle
fonte one day last week we were at
tracted by an extraordinary display
of Dry Goods and Carpets at the
door of the Mammoth Store of S. &
At Loeb, whose advertisement ap
pears in another column of this
week's issue. We were utterly as
tonished upon finding many of the
articles there displayed and for sale.
This is an old and reliable house,
having been established in our coun
ty seat in 1852, and we can well say
that it will pay our patrons to give
them a call. They sell an enormous
amount of goods and the small profit
{dan has made them eminent and
popul&r in their business.
A NEW MAN.— J. Newman, Jr.,
the king Clothier of Uellefonte, is
exactly the right man in the right
place—the man for the people and
the times. Clothed in a suit of his
clothes, a fellow must feel like
Croesus. Why we only bought a
hat of Julius; and all Bellefonte
thought we "looked splendid."
Warm greetings and friendly faces
on all sides were the consequence.
Now, if you go to Bellefonte on busi
ness or pleasure, just buy some cloth
ing of Newman, and you witt thank
us for sending you there.
D. L. Zerby will open his select
school on Wednesday, April IS. next.
All who have subscribed and alt
others wishing to attend are request
ed to be present at the commence
ment of the term and attend as reg
ularly as possible. No deduction
from the subscription price will be
made for lost time except in case of
sickness or by special agieement.
Terms moderate.
One of the best Rook Stores in
Central Pennsylvania, is that of
James Welch in Rellefonte. Full
to repletion in its various depart
ments, Mr. Welch sells at prices
that defy competetion anywhere.
Just now he makes a speciality of
paper and envelopes selling the lat
ter at live cents per pack, and note
paper 'at 7—lo cents i>er quire. We
advise our readers to visit and buy
at Welch's store when they go to
Bellefonte.
Of the many good stores in
Bellefonte the Drug Store of J. Zel
ler A Son, is one of the very best.
They keep everything in the Drug
and Medicine line you can think of,
and a great many things you don't
thiuk of until you go there and see.
Their prices are absolutely low for
the quality of goods they sell, while
the manager of the concern, the Son,
is a gentleman in the fullest sen se of
the word. Zeller & Son's is your
place for anything usually kept in a
first class Drug Store.

Modern civilization requires that
a Rood cigar store should be very
close to a good hotel. Now this is
exactly the case at the Bush House,
Bellefonte. If you come out- of the
front entrance after meals, or at any
time in fact, you have only a st£p to
your left and you are right at the
llead Quarters of A. J. Cruse, who
sells by odds the best cigars we have
smoked for a long time. We don't
advise men to suioke for that would
be wrong ; but they will smoke
whether it suits us or not. Now
the best advice we can give you un
der the circumstances is, smoke
good cigars, and the place to get
them wnile at Bellefonte is Cruse "a.
Try it, and vou will say so too.
It is a real pleasure when one
enters a store and finds a full line of
goods, low prices and gentlemanly
proprietors. Such a favorable com
bination must gain many friends
and customers. Now this is em
phatically the case with the Hard
ware store of James Harris As Co.,
Bellefonte. Everything you . can
think of in their liue is there, and at
prices to suit these panic times ex
actly. The senior of the firm Mr.
Harris, has been in the business for
many years, and knows exactly how
to handle a Hardware store. We
can assure our readers that they can
find no letter or cheaper place than
James Harris & Co.
■ ♦ •
Home is the most attractive,
the most lovely place upon earth. If
this is not the case with any partic
ular home, the fault is certainly with
the inmates. Much as we all love
home, we can not always remain at
home. Business and sometimes
pleasure call us away. How pleas
ing then when abroad, to find a
place as nearly like home, as possible.
There are really but few Hotels that
bear any comparison at all to a hap
py home, bat the Bush House at
Bellefonte, is one of the raro excep
tions to this rule. We stayed there
last week, for the first time in our
life, and are free to say that we were
delighted with all there is in and
alx ut it. The gentlemanly proprie
tor, Mr. F. D. M'Collum, showed us
around in every part of the spacious
building, yards, stabling, sheds and
all. A system of order and neat
ness prevails throughout that makes
one feel entirely at home. What
pleased us more than all was that
there was no drunkenness to be seen
—no profanity heard.
An impression used to be general
ly prevalent that the Busu HOUSE
was intended more particularly for
tourists, city folks aud uDper-ten
dom generally. This is certainly not
the case with Mr. M'Collum as pro
prietor. To him the farmer and me
chanic are just as welcome as the
Senator and Drofessional man. It is
the anxious desire of Mr. M'Collum
to disabuse the people of Centre Co.
of any false notions of hujh-tonetim
oncerning the Bush House. To
our friends and patrons we say, try
the Bush.
