JUNIATA County is much exercised
over the pardon oi the wife-murderer
Wm. J. McMeen, whose death sen
tence has been changed to imprison

action of the pardon board aud freely
express tho opinion that such pardons
are an encouragement to criminals.

THK Democratic County Committee
will have a meeting in the arbitration
room in the Court House at Bellefonte,
on Saturday, July 9th, at 11 o'clock,

and making arrangements for holding
the Delegate Election, Ac. Chairman
McClain urges all members of the
committee to be on hand.
THK "Bears" in Wail street, New
York, got off a nice little maneuvore
last Friday by spreading the report
that Jay Could is dead. The stocks
consequently took a big tumble and
Manhattan railroad stock dropped from
150 to 120. Fortunately Mr. Gould,
who at the time was at his office i n
excellent health, could at once contra
dict the report, and shaken confi
dence was restored to some degree.
REPRKSKNTATIVX Blount, of Georgia,
favors the erection of a new executive
mansion in Washington. He recent
ly paid a yisit to the White House
and seeing its dilapidated condition
remarked that the time has come
when congress should take steps in
that direction. It will be remembered
that Mr. Blonnt was the very man
who always opposed any appropri
ations wbich congress wished to make
fur the improvement of the White
House and his change of opinion may
expedite matters when the question
comes np again.
THK Interstate Commerce Com
mission has rendered a long and elab
orate decision upon the fourth section
of the Interstate Commerce law which
prohibits a greater charge for the
transportation of passengers and prop
erty over a shorter than over a longer
distance in the same direction under
substantially the same circumstances
and condition. This has been the
knotty point ot the law, and the one
which has drawn forth the greatest
number of complaints from the rail
roads. They haye claimed that it
was impossible to comply with tLe
terms of the fenrth section in their lit
eral construction without disorganiza
tion and loss. The Commission has
decided, in the first place, that it can
neither abrogate this part of law, nor
give it a construction which will serve
as a guide in all eases. The railroads
must fix their own scale of rates for
long and short distances at their own
risk, subject to accountability before
the Commission and the courts in
cases where complaint is made by in
terested parties, of violation of the
law. For tbe guidance of tbe rail
roads, however, tbe Commission form
ulates its opinion that more may be
charged for tbe short than for tbe
long haul in cases where tbe railroads
have to meet competition by carriers
not subject to the act, and where a
strict enforcement of the clause would
destroy competition. The decision
will help tbe railroads ont for a time,
but it is very probable that it will
soon precipitate a new avalanche of
complaints upon the Cotnmission from
parties aggrieved by railroad discrimi
nations.
GOVERNOR Beaver will likely ap

AIM'KOVKD —May l.th, iss7.
A reporter to the Philadelphia Sun
day Timt's says that Secretary Fair
child is keeulv sensible to the respon
sibilties of his position as far as it con
trols not only the monetary opera
tions of the government but*the quiet
and security ol business and trade* It
is very apparent that he realizes the
lUiigi'W of tlio reckless spirit of spooulution
which is now abroad in tlio laiul, us in
stanced in tho recent squeeze in wheat,
slump in ootVeo and manipulations in the
stock market. The maintenance of the
statu quo in the money and business affairs
of the next few months will largely dc|x-nd
UJHUI his use of the] power in his hands.
The present heavy tqieenlati ve enter
prises are regarded among Treasury offi
cers as indicating too much expnnsiou.iuoney
bei tig abundant and ready to jump at the
most chimerical schemes. It is thought
that the accumulation of the surplus w ill
o|erate as a cheek II|M>II this. In event of
too great contraction one of the two expe
dients, anticipating interest or buying Kinds
will be resorted to. The Secretary is keeping
a vigilant eye ujsm the financial situation,
and fi-els confident of his übility to main
tain the equilihrum of trade and finances
until congress meets, should it lie to Octo
ber or December.
What the ever-liopeful t'ooper thinks.
Senator Coojier was in the city on Sat
urday calling on the governor and other
state dignitaries. The senator is a strong K
liever in ]>o]itical jioliey of an extra session
to consider revenue legislation, aud lias ex
pressed an opinion that it will l>o called a
bout November. He, with many other r*-
publicans. thinks the party will go into the
campaign seriously h-uulicapi>ed if the |*-o
ple are not assured of a special session to
repair the wrong done by stranding of the
revenue bill, and he seems to have informa
tion authorizing him to declare that the gov
ernor will issue a call for it before the elec
tion. Senator l\>oper is prominently men
tioned for chairman of the commission, and
if he should be selected an early rejiort may
be expected.— lhirrisbttrg l\itri<>t.
The State Agricultural Society Makes
Well-grounded Charges Against
Governor Beaver.
At a special meeting of the members of
the state agricultural society, which was
well attended, President Wilhelm made
rather serious charges against Governor
Beaver. He asserted that before the bill
for the relief of the society was introduced
in the legislature the Governor had said lie
would be favorable to its passage, and that
if passed in both branches it would receive
his approval—that there were no qualifica
tions aKuit it. He further said that the
governor had even urged several senators to
vote for the hill. It was also declared that
before the bill had passed K>tli branches by
an almost unanimous vote the governor told
several members of the society that if any
constitutional objections were rais<-d to the
approval of the bill, he would give the rep
resentatives of the society opjiortunity to
he heard before him, that notwithstanding
all these expressions of approval of the bill,
and the promises made as to the hearing in
case of constitutional objection to it, the
governor not only vetoed the hill,hut vetoed
if among the first, without giving the officers
or any of the representatives of the society
any opportunity whatever of being heard.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. June 27,1857
Queen Victoria's Jubilee was celebrated
to some extent, even in this Capitol of the
greatest Republic. President Cleveland
sent a congratulatory cablegram to Mr.
West, the British Minister, gave a great
dinner, to which many distinguished guests
sat down, and a''VictoriaMeniinoialKooiu"
was dedicated at tho Garfield Hospital,
with appropriate ceremonies, by
the Society of St. George. The "Star
Swingled Banner" and "God Save the
Queen" K-ing sung in honor of the Queen's
,! übilee.
S]>caking of the Queen reminds me of the
return of our own lovely, youthful, yet
crow ideas queen, Mrs. Cleveland, who, for a
time, holds undisputed sway iu the hearts
of the American people, simply as the JK-O
ple's own daughter, who has become the
tlrst "Lady of the Land." From her im
proved appearance, bright cheerful maimer
and conversation far more so than usual—
it seems Mrs. Clevalaud has immensely en
joyed the brief respite from the duties im
posed on her at the White House. In fact
she takes the public into her confidence,
and informs them of the plans of the Presi
dent and herself for the remainder of the
summer. She says that she will probably
lie able to visit some Michigan friends when
the President goes to St. Louis, after which
they will lxitli extend the trip to Kansas
City, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Grand
ltapids and jicrhaps other Western Cities.
The printers of Washington are exercised
because the Commissioners, acting under
the law which authorizes them to let it to
the lowest bidder, have given the District
printing contract to a Philadelphia firm.
The Printers Union have taken up the mat
ter and there is a prospect of much undlg
natiou, as it will take SIO,OOO out of the
hands of the Printers here, and throw a
number of them out of employment; at
least 50 per cent was saved on the contract.
A special officer of the Pension liureau
arrested in Va., the other day several per
sons, who in conclusion with an old blind
soldier, swindled the Government of
000 in pension money. Such frauds are al
ways vain, because the Government inva
riably overhauls the offenders and inflicts
punishment commensurate with the enor
mity of the crime. It is better to swindle
one's own neighbor than your vigilant and
relentless Uncle Sam, who never forgives
nor forgets offenses.
To give you an idea of the strict disci
pline of the Washington police, l will mention
that one of the force has been dismissed
from office for plucking a magnolia blossom
from the Capitol grounds. This looks hard
but it is just for these guardians of the city
have no right iu the smallest particular, to
betrav the trust reposed in them.
Within the past week so many prominent
Democratic Statesmen have arrived in this
city that there are those who think an im
portant conference on party policy is pend
ing and that it will be followed by good re
sults, all of which I hope is really true.
The fact that Secretary Fairchild ordered
by telegraph the prepayment or the July
interest on bonds, amounting to about ?!>,-
000,000, caused some alarm in financial cir
cles, when considered with reference to re
cent monetary disasters in New York, Cin
cinnati & Chicago, but the Secretary ex
plains his action by saying that it was not
due to any apprehensions about the finan
cial situation; the interest being due July
Ist, and the cheeks made out, the Depart
ment was put to no inconvenience ami the
affect, he believed, would be reassuring.

Had Prospects fur Crops.
NAIMKRVILI.K, 111., June 27.—Never

appointed, had given to the Champion
| machine company an deinnifying mort
gage of half million dollars on all the
lands, factories, shops, tools, materials,

in the five departments of the Atlantic
Oil Refinery, at Point Breeze, are now
on a strike. At noon yesterday they
quit work, marched to the pay window
and were paid off. The strike of all
the departments was occasioned
through sympathy with the troubles of
the slillmen. The trouble began last
Wednesday among the still cleaners,
who number twenty. The men object
ed to the firm's employing Hungarians
and presented a bill of grievance to tiie
firm, with tlie alternative that if the
requests were not acceded to all would
go out. The men all went out. Most
of them are non union men.

Singular Habits and Appetite of|an
Animal Out ill llielilgan.
HILLSDALE, Mich , June 20.—Silas
Snort living five miles from this city,on
a farm, owns a horse quite as uncom
mon,as horses go. as its master's name.
The horse delight 9in such morsels as
spring chickens,rats,mice and flies, and
is not averse to fat rats when it can
catch one. On a lecent occasion the
horse attacked a half-grown hog that
had strayed into his flesh-loving horse
ship's pasture. He is a very intelligent
au<mal, showing remarkable reasoning
faculties in his methood of catching
rais. On seeing a rat disappear in a
! hole, the horse approaches the hole
quietly, lies down at full length and
places his rose a fen* inches from the
1 hole, so that when he opens his mouth
! and lets his tongue hang it comes quite
close to the hole's mouth. There he lies
and waits for hours sometimes. The ro
dent is supposed to be Anally attracted
I out by the smell of the horses tongue,
only to be snapped up like lightening
| and devouted. Sometimes while rat
'catching the outstretched tongue be
comes covered with flits, when tlie
1 horse will withdraw tlie tongue and
swallow the mouthful of blue-bottles
as a stimulator to his appetite. Tin
horse recently snapped off a boy's mid
die finger, and is considered dangerous
to feed, but is otherwise a docile and
well behaved animal.
Joseph Snowden's Way of Doing H.
BEDFORD, Pa., June 27.—Joseph
Snowden was appointed a justice of (lie
peace by Governor Beaver for Wood
berry township, this county, because it
is said qpbody else wanted the place.
He has been a staunch republican and
assumed to be a politician, and he
wanted to be the candidate of his paily
for Bbeiiff. Being the committeman
from his township it devolved
him to make the hoard for ihe primary
election on .lur.e 18. lie wanted to
make things solid for Joseph and lie ap
pointed two clerks. One of the latter
said that the law rrquiied time men
on the board, but Snowden said he
would help, and adininistertd the oath
tothe cleiks. While serving in this
capacity lie lost his chai ce, tx cause one
of tlie cl"rks was against him for
sheriff, and dining the count Snowden
was detected iu slipping tickets out of
the pile which had leen read and re
corded and tianding them back to the
cleik as tickets just taken from tlie
box. These tickets had his name on
Night came on, but Snowden would
not allow a light. When completed
tlie votes counted did not compare with
the tally sheet. Bassler, one of the
clerks, then chaiged Snowden with
fraud and asked him to return tlie
tickets which he put in his pockets
Snowden denied emphatically that he
had taken any of the tickets. While
ths diScussion was going on Snowden
dropped a handful of tickets behind
him on the lloor. Tlie two young men
instituted a search and found all of the
tickets but four,and a recount defeated
the Snowden delegates by a decided ma
jority. The two clerks lodged informa
tion against Snowden charging him
with violation of the election laws.
Joseph was ambitious and wanted the
convention to make him a delegate to
tlie state convention for vindication,
but lie was knocked clean out all a
rou nd.

done for me, taking it, and it is helping
them. I only wish that every one who
ha 9 catarrh, asthma and a had cough
could see me, so that 1 could tell them
all to take it. All that know me here
know how I have suffered, (I have
been here since ISSS.) and say to me
that "1 am so gl.td that you found
something that could cure you." Ev
eryone says, "how much better you
look." The doctors say they are glad
I found flail's Catarih Cure as they
could not cure me.
I cannot express my gratitude to you
for the good Hall's Catarrh Cure has
done me. You can use as much of this
letter as will do the afflicted good. Pub
lish it to the whole world—it is all true
and they should know it.
