Mental trouble is said to have much to do with his serious con dition. IT looks as if England and Russia might have a set-to. They are using pretty strong language about the Af ghanistan, the frontier of which is oc cupied by Russian troops at several points. The British sent warning to the Russian foreign minister saying, that Great Britain will not allow the Russians on English ground. Look out for bloody heads! YXSTKRDAY, the fourth of March, the festive inauguration of the first dem ocratic president in twenty-four years took place at Washington. About the men who will form his cabinet, every body is still in the dark, and will be so until Mr. Cleveland has officially announced his chosen ones. The new president arrived at Washington on Tuesday evening and took lodgings in the Arlington house. The city is in a blaze of light and color and is thronged with visitors from all parts of the country. In next week's issue we will endeav or to give oar readers as full an ac count as possible. PRXSIDINT-XLXCT Cleveland in a let ter addressed to the Silver men in Congress recently clearly gives his views on the silver coinage question. He urges the stoppage of silver coin age, giving as a reason financial troub les which will arise should the tame be continued. Though the silver men had their own way and committed the wrong step of forcing Jthe matter through, President Cleveland's un flinching and able expression of opin ion on this important question strengthens the confidence of his con stituents in his ability and clearsight edness. Vox FOPUII has its say in this week'S JOURNAL, in the form of two communications. The one is a pre amble and resolution of Progress Grange, Centre Hall, in which the passage of a law appropriating SBOOO to the State College is vehemently op posed. The other communication faeats at length on the all-absorbing ''New Court House Question" and needs only to be read to understand the feelings of a majority of taxpayers in this part of the county, in this cost ly enterprise. No need for us to dwell on the subject editorally. "John Plow man" hits the nail square on the bead aid we agree with him in nearly all parts of his letter. Of course if the voice of the people will not be heeded and ajnew Court House must be built, we can only do what every other law abiding citizen will do—humbly sub mit to the inevitable and pay the heavy taxes like a good fellow. WASHINGTON LETTER. From or Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON,D. C., March 2,1886. How Washington juries are organiz ed to acquit is so well known through out the country that comment upon the Washington court-martial may be su perfluous. The case of General Swaim was as fairly tried and the offender as fairly convicted of a flagrant crime as the record of any court m Christendom could demoustrate. Yet instead of stripping the epaulettes from the shoul ders of a convicted tbiet and kicking him out ot the service, as he ought to have been kicked oat long ago, this weak solution of military aristocracy, in the shape of a court-martial, imposes a punishment of half pay retirement j actually beyond the period when the law itself would have retired him on half-pay had he preserved a good re cord. And this mild sentence which is actually a reward and an encourage ment for knavery in every pat t of the military seryice, had to be forced from this court by the protestation of the President. In the civil courts, Demp sey and Kirkwood, whose frauds upon I the Government were established as clearly as the noonday sun, were fully acquitted by a jury, whose action com pelled a mostjdeserving reprimand from the court itself. In these cases tripli cate accounts and their corresponding vouchers were made out, piesented and paid,to the amount of more than seven ty thousand dollars. lam not of those who despair of the Republic because of those things, but where by the preor dained determination of men, crime is to lie fostered and its punishment avert ed by the manipulation of juries, what becomes of our boasted bulwark of trial by jury in the protection of the public interests and the promotion of the gen eral welfare ? The constitution of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet is yet a matter of most intense speculation, especially among the poli ticians,and it probably will continue so until the list of portfolios is officially announced after the inauguration this week. The announcement of some names that Mr. Cleveland is said to have fixed upon is no sooner made than they are made to give place to others which Mr. Cleveland is known to have fixed upon. The long and short of the whole business may be summed up, as I wrote you before, that Mr. Cleveland himself does not yet know of a single man who will become a mem ber of the Presidential family, because helms made no decision, nor will he make any before he comes to the Capi tal on the 3d day of March. The gen eral talk now is that Mr. Garland.upon whom everybody had positively fixed upon as the Attorney General, may not be in the cabinet at alhand so with Mr. Bayard and others who are said to have had the ear of the President-elect. It seems a little queer in these days where brevity may very properly be considered the soul of wit, that weeks should be employed in preparing the inaugural address whea the addresses of all Mr. Cleveland's predecessors were so ex ceedingly short. The second inaugural of General Washington was an inter minably long State paper, but the coun try was in a state of trouble and tur moil which had culminated in the Whisky Insurrection in Pennsylvania, that required more than the usual elab oration.

TIIKKEWCOtIKT IKII Si; QUESTION Mr. Editor If you could give an old patron a little space in your paper on a subjegt of great importance to ev ery lax-payer in the county, you would confer not only a personal favor but do the public in general a service as well. At the January session of our court our brand new Judge urged upon the grand juiy with much ability and force, the building of a new, and presumably very costly court house. The grand jury passed on the question affirmative ly, and it is only necessary for the next grand jury at the coming April term,to follow suit, and the new court house, with an addition to th& county debt of about a hundvtd thousand dollars , will tie a fixed fact. That projects of such magnitude and importance should he so easily saddled upon the people wilh out their consent hut proves the weak ness and defects of a system inherited from our British cousins, but not at all in harmonj with modern, progressive, American ideas. It is "taxation with out representation" as much as that suffered by the colonies under George 111. For in no sense can a grand jury be said to be a legislative body. They are not elected by the people .but select ed by a few minor county officers and without the least reference to questions of this class. In some'of the western states, where the people had an oppor tunity to avoid the old, rusty blunders in the organic laws of most old states, no such enterprise as the one proposed can be carried out,except by;;nd Caster [or Skates] prepaid.
