Our slate loirislature is now; wrestling with the subject of const!- . tutional prohibition, and there is' hardly a doubt that many members, perhaps even a majority, wish the struggle wo c over. Numerous pe titions are sent in Tom all parts of the state ; strong are made both for and against the measure, . and cur legislator can neither dodge nor evade the question,mucn as they wish to do so. One feature is be coming.more plainly manifest as the matter devclopes, namely that pro hibition is gaining friends and adher ents constantly. The legislature would therefore do well to take hold of the question bravely, without re gard to personal or party considera tions or influences, and give the peo ple a chance to settle the matter themselves. This is what prohibitionists right fully claim, and is so eminently just and fair that even the advocates of the liquor interests will hardly .pre tend to urge any plausible argu ments against it. The principle that the majority should rule is so funda mental In our system and so dear to every true American that the peo ple have but little patience with any man or class ot men who would sub vert this primary factor in our gov ernmental fabric. The McDonald judiciary appor tionment bill was agreed upon in committee and presented to the House last Saturday. It divides the state into forty-six districts, two more than the present number, but the committee claims that the proposed apportionment will save the state a sum of $40,000 in salaries each year. Thirty-eight out of the forty-six dis tricts have each a population ot over 40,000. and are entitled to a presi dent judge respectively, under the constitution. Centre, Union and Snyder arc joined together as the Fortieth District. This would give us two judges, same as now, and Judge Buclier would presumably lie the President Judge, lie being the old est in commission. The new ar rangement would no doubt be satis factory all around. It is now considered certain that the present House tariff bill can not pass, and indeed it begins to look very doubtful whether any tariff measure can pass the present session An extra session is fast beeoming probable. A strange fatality seems of late to attach to the chairmanship of the national republican committee. The last two chainnen.Zachariah chand ler and Marshall Jewell, both died while holding the position. Clearfield county will become a seporate judicial district us soon as an appoi'tionmcnt bill is passed. Colonel Walter Barret, Frank Field ing, Fsq.,and David L. Krebs.Fsq., tlie latter a law partner cf Senator Wallace, arc the most prominent Democratic aspirants for the .judge ship. -©■- The Democratic State Commit toe had a meeting at the (lirard House, Philadelphia, on the loth inst., and decided that the next state conven tion shall be held at Ilarrisburg. Turc Legist it m e of Maine is about to consider hills prohibiting the sale and r.se of toy pistols, and compelling '.the . use of fire escapes upou hotels and all ; public buildings. The Pennsylvania legislature n ig!it profitably employ itself on the same line. ■ -*.<>- - A False heed Corrected. Krcm the lain caster Intelligencer. The Press, which has been proving it ; self big enough to print the news and broad enough to tell the truth, allows an "Invisible" correspondent, writing from llanisburg, to say in its columns that a committee ''appointed to ascer tain whet tier certain house ollloers could not bo dispensed with,*' "repott ed that all were absolutely required, | and those held in abeyance were sneak jedin by peace-meal, and to-day they are all in, except two sergeant-at-arnis, who will bo in in plenty of tune to got the full salary," and upon such allega tions as this be concludes that the cause of reform at Ifarrisburg is hope- It ss in the democratic house and has only a chance in the republican senate. Now the facts are just the level so. The house did dispense with a do/en officers allowed by law and not one of them has been sneaked in nor JFI Fled in any other way. The senate, on the other hand, lias filled its quota. Every ollicer elected by the democrats has to do his woik in person, and, as even the Press coi respondent admits, one who was unfit for I is position had to resign and was neither allowed tohiiea sub stitute nor shi ik his duties. This is a condition of things that lias not pre- Vidbd t llarriaburg for many years before. If the Press wants further evidence of the sincerity of the democratic house in the woik of reform it can find it in the dispatch by that body of legisbtve business, which is further advanced than it has been any time for ten years at the same period of the sess ion. The appropriation committee, which is even nioie liberal than its chairman or the majority of the ixvure, has already acted on forty-one out of sixty-seven b;i!s before it. and has cut down the amounts asked for $1,201,- 354. THE FLOODS. INDIANAPOLIS, February fS.—Tele grams received by tlie relic! committee and private information received from the flooded •districts give gloomy ac counts of suffering and distress. At New Albany one thousand families in the city and 350 in the immediate vicin ity have been driven from home and arc domiciled wherever covering can be had. By the stoppage of factories one thous and families are made dependent on public charity. On the bottoms west of the city 800 families have lost homes, barns, grain, forage and farm imple ments and are in absolute poverty,with nothing left to put in crops. The Distress at Jeffersonr 111 c. INDIANAPOLIS, February 14.—Pri vate information from Jeffersonvilte, Ind., says the city is flooded from two to twenty-liye feet deep and five thous and people are homeless. Many have lost all they had on earth. A large number of cottages in the lower pait of the city were swept away and hundreds of people are quartered in second stories in public buildings and in uusines* houses. Food is sent to them in skiffs. Tne scenes of suffering are appalling. It is still raining and the river is rising. Tne 1 ast wili reach over one million dollars. The people will have to leave Lawrenceburg. No lives have been lost so far as can be learned. m |_!mo jjjotet, Xos. 317 & 319 ARCH ST., PHILADELPHIA.

There was an unusual scone at an auction in Dußoistown, Clearfield county, last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Aleck McFadden, of Mr. Spellisy's Auction House, was the auctioneer, and he was just rounding one of his stentoriau periods, "Going, going," but before he could get to tiie climax, he was "gone" sure, for the floor gave away and the crowd numbering about seventy-five went down into the cellar, Mr. Spellisy and his auctioneer among the number. It was surprising what serious accidents sometimes result from little things, and at other limes what miraculous escapes are made from the most appalling calamities. Although men, women and children went down with the wreck the debiis including a burning cooking stove, and several coal oil lamps, yet no one was injured, except a little gtrl and Mr. Spellisy,who were slightly bruised.
