TEXAS says "no water in ours'" and
at tbe recent state election defeated
the prohibition amendment by a ma
jority of 60,805. Prohibition must
have got into the wrong box when it
tackled Texas.
INVITATIONS are pouring in on Pres
ident Cleveland from the business
men and citizens of all the cities which
he may possibly pass on his proposed
western trip, to stop and visit them,
There seems to be a universal feeling
of friendship and good will towards
the President and his jewel of a wife,
which is reciprocated by kindness on
their side. Leaving politics out of
the question tbete isn't a monarch or
ruler on the face of tbe earth that is
as much in the enjoyment of the love
and respect of his people as a Presi
dent of these United States.
THE Democratic County Convention
at Bellefente on Tuesday did its work
in a systematic and harmonious way
and nominated a set of men for the
different county offices, who ought to
and no doubt will be cheerfully sup
ported at tbe fall election by Centre
county's democracy. Tbe nominees
are all men of unspotted characters,
endowed with the best qualifications,
and have been faitbfal democrats all
their lives. There is no necessity for
multiplication of words at this time.
What we want to say now and what
we must do is to gire the ticket a
hearty endorsement and go to work
with a will to insure its success. As
the campaign advances we shall say
more ou this subject.
THE Supreme Court of Louisiana
recently rendered a decision in a news
piper case m which the following
wise observations were made upon
tbe duty and province of the news
piper :
"Surely newspapers have some ob
ject higher than mere money making.
A8 operated in modern times they are
something more than mere advertis
ing mediums, or even purveyors of
news. They are organs of public
opinion, instructors of the people, ad
vocates of oertaiu fixed policies and
principles, the promotion of which
must gratify the intellectual aud moral
desires of their proprietors, even if
they do not in all cases advance their
pecuniary interests. We might well
conceive that, though offered ample
pecuniary inducements to advocate
principles or causes which they disbe
lieve, or to abstain from advocating
those which they approve, worthy
journalists would reject such proposi
tions with the scorn that they de
serve."
POPE LEO XIII has resolved to take
an active part in Italian politics and
organized an electioneering committee
to canvass the country in tbe interest
of the yatican candidates for seats in
the chamber of deputies. Already the
Vatican has a sufficient number of ad
herents in the representative body of
the Italian legislature to make its
voice potept in the councils of tbe na
tion. This plainly indicates that tbe
pope is as mnch of a politician as ever
and bad only been abiding his time to
fight for the restoration of tbe tempo
ral power of the Roman church. True,
since 1810 when the pope was dispos
sessed of his Italian dependency the
backbone of his political influence
seemed broken. But at no time had
he given up his claim to supremacy in
the worldly affairs of men and nations
and the only reason that he did net
exercise his authority in political mat
ters was because tbe nations did not
give him tbe opportunity to do so but
managed their state affairs to suit
themselves. So humiliating was this
severe neglect to the proud church po
tentate that be wonld not use the
streets of Rome for the greater part of
sixteen years, but kept close to tbe
gardens of tbe vaticau. Of late, how
ever, advances were made by several
of the wordly powers, which encour
aged the Roman Pontiff very much
and gave him hope that the days when
the sovereigns of Europe held their
crowns at the will of the Papacy and
bowed in fear and trembling at the
footstool of St> Peter's chair may yet
return. The first to make a reconcili
atory movement was tbe iron-willed
| chnncolor of protectant Germany,
Prince Bismark, who came to I'ope
lieu to secure Papal interference in tLe
Herman elections. It was no small
triumph fat the Vatican to have its po
litical abilities recognizetl by one ol
the shrewdest diplomats on the eon*
tinent, and when England, France
and Italy began to show signs of
recognition of the Papal power tho
pope felt his importance and at once
became inflated with zeal for the wel
fare of nations. By all appearances
he now proposes to mix himself up in
the affairs oi ltalv, Germany and
France. He has in fact gone so far
as to send an embassy to Ireland to
watch over the condition of his sub
jects there and has also freely given
his opinions about various matters in
the United States. It shows that the
Pope is after nothing less than the
earth and expects to fight his bloodless
battles with a consistency and perse
verance characteristic of Roman Cath
olic politicians. If he gets too loud,
however, he may stand a good chance
to be crowded back to the obscurity
from which he just emerged.
A RELIABLE POUT WINE.—Mr. A,
Speer, of New Jersey, whose Port
Grape Wine has such a wide reputa
tion, and which physicians prescribe so
generally, was the first in this country
to import Port Grape Wine vines from
the banks of the River Doura, in Port
ugal, where the finest old time ports
were made aud to plant vineyards of
them in New Jersey. His Port, Bur
gundy and Claret, which are now the
best wines to be had, have become a
great favorite among the most fashion
able in New York, Philadelphia aud
Washington society.
Druggists sell it.
THE Toledo Hee in commenting up
on the work of the recent Ohio Re
publican convention and speakiug of
Rlaine as against Sherman, the choice
of the convention, for president in
1888 makes the following pungent ob
servations about the Plumed Knight
and gives a number of sharp pointers
to Rlaine politicians :
Well, as to that, I have to say if the Irish
question and the Irish vote are the main
things sought, then Mr. Blaine had better
seek office iu Ireland. This is America, and
the men on whom we depend in a national
election are American citizens. In fishing
for big Ash it's not best to cast our net iu a
pool,but seek the broader and deeper waters
of the sea. For every vote the Knight of
the Plume would get by a direct appeal to
J Catholic Irish democrats he would lose
| three votes of Protestant American repub
licans. A vote based solely on personal
grounds, not on principle, is sure to he oft
set by other votes similarly found. Mag
netic men have their good points, hut while
the positive pole of a magnet attracts the
negative repeals. Blaiue is not hy any
means as strong as he was in 18*0. Those
who know liim best—and the people are
getting to know him pretty well—know
| that he is a political Jesuit, courteous in
manner, cordial and plausible in speech,
hut silent, crafty and unscrupulous in tlie
promotion of his schemes ; professing o|en
friendship while stabbing secretly ; keen .in
the scent of money, not particular as to the
mode of its acquisition, and lavish iu its
expenditure for his own political advance
ment; brainy and fertile in resource, with
an element of meanness so audacious that
it does not always provide against exposure.
He was Garfield's evil genius—his detract
or when living and most eloquent eulogist
when dead. He involved his administra
tion in needless and distressing complica
tions from the effects of which the country
is still suffering. He used the power con
ferred by a high official position to enforce
his private animosity and execute his per
sonal vengeance. He encouraged liis fol
lowing of Half-breeds to strike down Secre-
I tary Folger fox being stalwart, and thereby
elected Cleveland governor of New York by
a majority of 2(10,000. and put it in the pow
er of the solid south to obtain control of the
executive office. He will never he fhrgiveu
in full for liis treachery, ami he ought nev
er to le. His nomination In 'BB would sim.
ply multiply the mugwumps of New Eng
land by ten, and these would lie reinforced
in every northern state hy better republi
cans than Blaine ever was. He cannot car
ry New York, he could not touch bottom in
Indiana, and it is doubtful even if he could
again carry Ohio. In short, he is a plained
knight who does his ftglitlug with Ins jaw,
and employs a substitute to incur the risks
of battle. " We have carried him on our
shields too long. It is time now to probe
him with our spears. The people have hail
enough of him and his spotted record.
BETTER THAN VACATION.—This is
pre-eminently the vacation month,
when thousands seek rest and recrea
tion. But to those who suffer the de
pressing effects of summer debility, the
disagreeable symptoms of scrofula, the
tortures of; billlousness, dyspepsia or
sick headache, there is more pain than
pleasure iu leaving home. To such we
say, give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial.
It will purify your blood, tone up and
strengthen your body, expel every trace
of scrofula, correct bllliousness, and
positively cure dyspepsia or sick head
ache Take it before you go, and you
will enjoy your vacation a thousand
fold. '
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. nth, 1887.
Secretary Pairchild has issued a circular
inviting proposals for the sale of a large a
mount of 41 2 per cent United States bonds
aiul 4 jer cent bonds and also Pacific rail
road bonds, with a relate of 2 {ier cent, per
annum on the amount prepaid. Explana
tory of this action Secretary Fairchild says
he thought it the best thing he could do
under the circumstances—his purchase of
bonds being for the purpose of providing for
the sinking funds and the anticipation of in
terest is for the purpose of removing the sur
plus. The interest referred to in order a
luounts to $22,319,784 and the sinking fund
to about $11,000,000 of 3 per cent, lioiuls pre
viously applied to that fund. The Secretary
says that the surplus can only he disposed
of through the co-operation of the bond
holders, and that if tliey do not accept the
terms of his offer to them, it would appear
that they are not greatly in need of money.
The Controller of the Currency has given
notice to the national banks requiring them
to submit to him a full statement of their af
fairs at the close of business August Ist—in
default of which they will he fined and the
sums paid into the United States Treasury
-the purpose being to see whether these in
stitutions have their finances in proper
shape to meet any requirements necessary

During tin* n nth of July 10,316 name*
\vire added to tlic pension rolls by tin* Donio
emtio Adiniiiistration, wliioli, according to
Republican partisans, lias nothing but
hatred and hostility to the Union Veterans
The {tension which was put through by
Forger Harvey, its Attorney for a widow
turns out, upon closer Investigation to Is-a
fraud—and thus nearly $2,000 was, at the
last moment saved to the Government. The
Pension Otliec offers a great livid for fraudu*
lent manipulations, hut, the evil-doen< al
most invariably come to grief; two men
have just IMSMI asrostod in West Virginia on
a ehargo of forgery in conneetinii with a
{tension case.
Public Printer Benedicts' reply to the
New York Tribune's eharge that he dis.
criminated against Union soldiers In mak
ing ap|Miutments or dismissals is clear and
convicting to the last degree showing, as it
docs, that Mr. Hencdlct is a true and care,
ful'guardian of the interests of the soldiers,
or, according to an actual census of the of"
flo l , taken hy him, alniut one-half of its em
ployes are either Union Veterans or their
widows and children—all of whom are pro*
teettsl in their positions by a s|iccial Statue,
but, which tlie present Printer's itcpuhlicnu
predecessors ignored when it applied to
Democratic Union soldiers—examples that
might well warrant retaliations in kind on
Ids part—still, he has not done so, hut im
partially given, to all whom it is due, the
heueAt* of this class legislation. Mr. Iteue
diet lias increased the working capacity of
the establishment, although compelled to re
duce the force, and has won the lasting
gratitude of all the employes hy paying
semi-inoiithly, instead of monthly, as was
the lule under the Republican regime.
Secretary Lamar's request that the heads
of bureaus of tlie Interior l>e|>artincnt pre.
sent their annual reports much earlier
than heretofore strongly tends to confirm
the general impression that he will soon lie
transferred to the Supreme Bench. Mr
Lamar would adorn that lofty tribunal as
few men in America could, for, in addition
to 'being the Jtirst among Southern States*
men and jurists, his mind is cast in a Judi
cial mould. President Clcvlaud says Of
liiiu, that of all the men he has ever met, he
believed Secretray Lamar to possess the
clearest and most profound intellect.
About twenty {intent Attorneys of Wash
ington who were the lienetieiaries of Ilacou's

—Owners of timberland should note
the encouragement given bv the new
law passed at the last session of the
Legislature for tlie planting of forest
trees. It provides that hereafter all
who plant forest trees, or protect cut
forest land to enable litem to furnish
a new forest, will be paid for their la
bors by the abatement of oipetv per
cent, of all the taxes assessed upon such
lands for the first ten years an abate
ment of eighty per eent. for the next
ten years and an abatement of fifty per
cent, for tbe third ten years. The only
limitation is that the abatement shall
not exceed forty-five cents per acre for
the first ten years : forty cents for the
' next tea aud twentv-five cents for the

FOREST FIRES.—It is to be hoped
that the following law will to some ex
tent diminish the number of forest fires
occurring every spring and fall in all
sections of the state :
"It shall be the duty of the Commis

commonwealth to appoint a person, un
der oath, wnose duty it shall be to fer

persons who either wilfully or other
wise cause the burning of timber lands
ana to take measures to have such fires
extinguished where it can be done, the
expense thereof to be paid out of the
county treasury, the unseated land tax
to be the first applied to such expen

CARLISLE, August 7.—A horrible
murder was committed last night at
what is called Upper Holly, at the edge
of the South mountain. George Farroll,
an employe of the Mt. Holly, Pa.,
Paper Company, shot and instantly
killed a workman by the name of James
S. Scott.
About six weeks ago a light occurred

brothers and s man by the name of
George Cradler and Scott went to Far
roll's house and called him out. He
did not hear them, but his wife went
to the gate, which is about fifty yards
from the house, where she was knocked
down. She then went to the house and
told her hnsband, who Immediately
went out and faced the men. They
Jumped upon him at once. He returned
to the bouse and secured an old army

EAST LYME, C'onn., August 7 T
During a thunder storm the other
evening lightning struck the boarding
house of E. B. Chapman, which hud a
raong its guests Mr. Jesse Grant, a son
of the late General, his wife and two
children, Mrs. McGee and her iwo
daughters, and Mr. Jenkins, all of New
York. They were MD in the parlor,
when the room was suddenly illumi
nated witli an extraordinary Hash of
lightning, and accompanied with a
strong odor of sulphur. Mr. Jenkins,
Mary and Daisy McGee were thrown
unconscious to the door. Mr. Grant
was severely injured on the thigh A Mrs,
Grant hnd Mrs. McGee escaped unin
jured.
Assistance was rendered as soon ss
possible to those stunned, and on recov
ering tiieir senses ii was found that
Miss Maty McGee was the only one
who was seriously afTecied. She had
lost Hie use of ht-r luubs, so ihat she
was unable to walk. The lightning
had entered through the walla, tearing
aud buining tlie paper. It struck a wiie
from which a large mirror was sirs
lauded, breaking tlie glass in mauy
places. A lamp waa upset aud altogeth
er a great deal of damage was done.
The other inmates of tlie house escaped
uninjured, although all felt the shock.
Mr. aud Mrs. Grant have spent several
years in California aud experienced
earthquakes, and they declare in their
opinion tlie sensation of being struck
by lightning is far worse than that of
the earthquakes.
The liver and kidneys m ust be kept
in good condition. Hood's Sarsaparilia
is a great remedy for regulating these
organs.

been for six days "fightiug back the
flames from tiieir homesteads, while
the families of the other four had been
taking turns at sitting up at night in
order that the household might be a
roused in case of sudden danger. Every
bit of moisture and sap has been
burn out of all kinds of vegetation,and
the earth is so dry that the roots of the
stubble in recently mowed fields are
burning over hundreds of acres Streams
which have never before ceased run

while the frame farm houses and barns
are so thoroughly baked that the appli

Scores of wells, fed by springs, have
gone dry. and tlie farmers are com
