Wonder whether Foraker imagines that he of all men ought to be singled out by the first lady of the land as the fittest to be shaken. There must be something vain about Foraker. MASSACHUSETTS Democrats met in convention last Tuesday and nominat ed a full state ticket as follows : Gov ernor, H. B. Lovering ; Lieut. Gov ernor, Walter E. Cutting ; Secretary of State, John J. Murphy , Treasurer. Henry C. Thatcher ; Attorney Gen eral, John W. Corcoran and Auditor William T. Coke. A strong platform was adopted and the party is alivo with enthusiasm. JOHN GROVE for Associate Judge should be the undivided choice ot Centre county's democracy. He is a man of ripe years and experience, firm in his convictions and impartial in his judgements. There are weighty reasons, which are well-known to most of the people of this county,why Grove ought to occupy a seat on the judicial bench of Centre county. Take a serious thought on the matter aud vote for GROVE. A DESERVING maD, a fine scholar, a life-long Democrat, social and obliging in his manner, those are a few of the many good points which Democrats ought to take into consideration in the case of W. G. Morrison, our can didate for Recorder. Although we have a first-class candidate for the same office right in town, in the per son of J- F. Hartcr, who runs on the Republican ticket, we are in duty bound to vote for Morrison and we urge all fellow Democrats to do the same thing. Vote for MORRISON. As the appointment of Secretary Lamar to the U. S. Supreme Judge ship becomes more probable every day, speculation as to his successor is also getting ripe. Of late Ex Gov ernor PattisoD's name is frequently mentioned in connection with the of fice. The fact is that Robert Pattison when in office in Philadelphia, and when Governor of Pennsylvania and last as chairman of the Pacific investi gating commission has proven himself so efficient,and ot such pure and spot less character, that President Cleve land in case of Lamar's resignation could hardly make a better choice. WE want to say a word about Fiedler. Not the Fiedler who gets paid to play the bed bug tune and to barp away on the third term Griest racket, but the Fiedler who was nom inated bv the Democratic convention for county commissioner and who ougLt to and no doubt will be elected by a majority that will roll up close to a thousand. Our Fiedler, of Haines township, will make a boss commis sioner, and don't you forget it. He and Griest will make as stroDg a team as Wolf and Griest are now and tbey will continue to pull down the ex penses of the county and consequently keep the tax rate at comfortably low .figure. Vote for GRIEST and FIEDLER, CHAIRMAN Cooper says that the Re publicans of this State must expect hard work to gain a solid victory at the coming election, in consequence of the united and determined opposition of the liquor and saloon interest. This, combined with the Prohibition vote, taken mostly from the Republi can party, will prove no weak oppo nent to the Republican temperance partv. Our people must be ou the u lert." Straws tell which way the wind blows, ami llie above editorial, culled from last week's Lewisluirg (Vironirle, may be considered quite a straw. The Republican party has just cause to feel alarmed all around, not only on ac count of the liquor element and the cold water party, but more particular ly because the people are beginning to lose coufulenco in a party which hard ly ever keeps its promises. Added to this comes the fact that the Democrat ic party is a party for the people,w hile the Republican party is a party for corporations and spoilsmen. Notice the difference between the present Democratic national administration and former republican administrations. And then again Pattison's state gov ernment in contrast with Beaver's ad ministration. Where the former used all endeavors to have corporations taxed equally with the people, the lat ter nips every effort in that direction in the bud. The people's pocket Ixioks are materially affected by the failure of a bill which provides for the taxation of wealthy corporations and thus would ligbtenthe taxes of the poor er classes. Those are hard facts to over come and in Chairman Cooper's words "it will take hard work for tho Repub licans to gain a victory" in the face of their own shortcomings. THF. CONSTITUTIONAL CENTENNIAL in Philadelphia, an event which had been looked forward to with the greatest interest by all the people in the whole union, w;is •< h-hmtcd last week in the grandest way and In a manner lifting flie importance of the hundredth anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. And as though Providence itself was in per fect harmony with the celebration, it fav ored the whole affair with the finest weath er. Philadelphia had on its best duds, nearly every house was profusely decorated with the natioutal colors andmany triumphal arches graced the principal thoroughfares. A million of people where in the city to witness the grand pageant and the best or der and happiest spirit prevailed throughout the festivities. Ou Thursday, the first day of the celebration, the indus trial and civic parade consisting of twenty three divisions, and representing and con trasting the customs, the domestic hfe, me chanical tools, means of transportation, etc. from 1787 to 1887 took plac, moving through Broad street, from Dauphin to Moore and back again. This grand pro cession was a gigantic demonstration which rivaled anything of tliepcind in the history of the nations. Iu the evening about 9 o'clock President and Mrs. Cleveland arrived in the city and were driven to the Lafayette hotel amidst the most enthusiastic cheers of the crowd. Tin- president in the course of Uu evening attended Gov, Beaver's reception to visiting governors at the Academy of Fine Arts. Friday opened with a private reception to the President by the Commercial Exchange and at eleven o'clock the inagnficent uiili tiarv parade of alnit 25,000 men,uudcr com mand of General Sheridan formed and marched through Broad, Chestnut and Market streets, headed by tlie Marine hand interspered by aliout 100 other hands. Tlie Grand Army of tlie Republic and Sons of Veterans took part in tlie military parade. In the evening another reception to tlie President took place at the Academy of Music. Saturday morning was taken up hy a public reception by the President at City Hall. At 11 o'clock the ceremonies came off in Independence Square as follows : opening prayer by Bishop Potter ; intro ductory address by John A. Kasson, Presi dent of the Constitutional Centennial Coin mission : address hy President Cleveland : oration by Mr. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court : singing by 2000 voices,music by tlie Marine Band, of \\ asli ington : benediction and closing prayer by Cardinal Gibbons. Proposed New Tax Law. Auditor General A. Wilson Xonis has been sending around to tlie newspaper of fices copies of tlie two new tax bills now be ing considered by the Revenue commission. These bills are necessarily of great length and cover tlie ground of State taxation very fully. Without entering upon a discussion of tlie merits or demerits of these bills, for that tbey have both is hardly to be ques tioned, we shall enumerate their more sal ient and important provisions. , In the first hill, a tllree mill tax is pro jioscd ou all personal oroperty owned by jfirtnerships, private individuals, and un incorporated associations, or held by them as trustees; also on all mortgages, money owned by solvent debtors, money in banks ami savings institutions, muncipal loans, bonds, judgments and other securities, all articles of agreement and accounts bearing interest, except boigis accompanying mort gages,louk accounts, money in bank which can lie drawn out on check without notice ; all money invested in other States but not public loans by the United States ; loans ami stocks of banks ; ear trust sureties ; all interest-bearing monied capital in the hands of individuals except national bank, saving fund and building association stock. The assessors of townships, boroughs and cities shall be annually supplied with prop er blanks, tlie forms of which shall be pre scrilMsl by tlie Auditor General, and these shall in turn bo given to every taxable per son, copartnership, unincorporated associa tion and company, ami to the president, chairman, treasurer or cashier of every lim ited partnership, bank and corporation in the several citien and townships, and these persons shall make an affidavit of such tax able funds controlled by them. If there, turn be found fraudulent a penalty of ?-SW) and seven years' imprisonment at hard la bor shall be enforced. Tlie Auditor Gen eral shall at once begin proceedings where corporations have made fraudulent returns and fifty jier centum aud interest at the rate of twelve per centum per annum shall be exacted as penalty in addition to the origi nal amount. Assessors are authorised to administer tho oath to jiersous making re turns, but shall not receive compensation for so doing. Incase there is a failure to make a return the assessor is authorized to make it, estimating the amounts from the pest information attainable. In case of ap jn-al relief can be had IHTOIV the t'ouuty Hoard of Revision. Ail agreement between an assessor and a taxable to make an unjust return is punishable as a conspiracy and subjects the eointpir.itore to a thousand dol lar line ami a three years' Imprisonment at hard lalnir or solitary eontinemeut. Pro tlionotaries ami Recorders arc required to keep a dally record of all tho instruments of writing recorded in their several otllees.aiul these reeords shall lw< filed monthly In the Commissioners' otlice. Foreign corporations are to pay two thirds of a mill for eaeli per centum of the dividends they declare, it the dividends a monnt to six per centum, ami four mills on eaeii dollar of capital stock if less than six per centum is the dividend. Twelve mills on the dollar are to be paid by railway, ea mil, steamboat, pipe line, express, natural gas, palaee ear,passenger railway,telegraph, telephone and other corporations, and eight mills hy insurance companies . Sept. i*. iss7. The numerous military bodies decked in the brightest and gayest of uniforms tint daily parade the streets of the Capital to the thrilling notes of martial music, vividly recall the scenes of last summer's drill, and remind one that these soldier Imys are re turning from a great and glorious pig.-ant, second only in magnitude and importance to that other Centennial of America's progress and triumph, celebrited with so much eclatjuml enthusiasm eleven years a go in the same City of Rrotherly Love, which lias just rejoiced in the • oiiinicinora tiou ot the Centennial Constitution of the United States—that wonderful instrument of patriotic inspiration, destined to stand for all time as the masterpiece of the world's wisdom and statecraft, and as the rock niton which rests the greatest of Re publics. And here 1 will write of a really remark able coincidence in this connection —the indeed, almost as much so as tho death of illustrious Jefferson fifty years to a day after lie had signed the immortal declaration that won his most famous distinction—and that is the deatli in this city of his last gr.iml-daughtcr, Mrs. Septima Randolph Meikleliam, on the very day that tlie cele bration of the Constitutional Centennial liegan. This aged lady bore a striking n seinblance to the great sage and patriot who was the founder of the Democratic party, and she had distinct personal recollections of her honored ancestor's ap|**araiice and conversation. She leaves three children — a sou ami two daughters,—the eldest of the latter, Miss Alice, holding a small clerk ship ill the Patent OlHce, which is the sole supjiort of the family, the son lieing a hope less invalid. The resignation of Ex- Gov. Porter, as Assistant Secretary of State aud aj>- pointiucnt of liis successor continue to be topics of discussion among the )toiiticians. There apjiears to he every reason to believe that Mr. Bayard and Mr. Porter were at variance on several questions of public policy—that, in fact, the latter was too much disponed to assert himself in affairs of State. Among those mentioned for the concession are Congressman Belmont, of N. J., Chairman of the Committee on For eign. Affairs in the Forty-Ninth Congress, and ex-Congressmen Cox, of N. C., who was Chairman of the Committee on Civil Service iu the same laxly. It is said that Mr. Bayard regards the latter the most fav orably, on account of bis administration of the North Carolina state-men's progressive course ou Civil Service reform, and also his jkissession of considerable wealth—an ini ]Krtant factor in a diplomatic position. Mr. Belmont also has wealth to back liitu, and be is not without experieuce in matters of diplomacy. It is understood that the Secre tary claims the right to select his assistant. To a distinguished Southerner who a few days since called ujnui the president to urge the appointment of otie of his constitu ents to the Supreme Court vacancy, Mr. Cleveland stated that he had already made the selection and did notjimnmso 1- ILIVR FO R|L!L FF, "TKLLTL 1111 LLOLL IT 110 name was called the visitor from subsequent remarks,was lirinly impressed with theopin tliat the judicial mantle would grace the shoulders of Secretary Lunar. Tlie nqiortof the Secretary of the Interior, in response to the demand of the select Committee of the Senate, of which Mr. Crockrell it chairman, makes a volume of pages printed iu small tj'|ie, and gives a detailed statement of the amount and char acter of business transacted in tlia depart ment and the methods of conducting the same. It also stows that there are9ls4 cm ployes of the department—of which number 411 are Presidential and the remainder de partmental appointees. A similar report shows that there 000 employes in the 1 'ost office Department ; that there are 54,774 postmasters ; 75 tirst class, 400 second, 1,- 2H4 third, aud 52,214 fourth. The Illinois Democrats in Office here have fotmed an association for the purpose of looking after the official scalp of all Re publicans credited to that state —a com mendable example to tlio Democrats of other States.

IRELAND'S ULOOMY OUTLOOK. John Dillloii Sons Trouble Ahead From the Coercion Programme. DunLiN, September 18.—Mr. Dillion, in an interview to day, said that it was impossible to deny the gravityof the Hgi tation. The most disturbed district was South Galway, where a uew agent had beenappointedwho displayeagreat activ ity,and trouble might be expected there. The outlook for the coming wiuter was a gloomy one. Mr. Btlfour was ap parently determined to get all the Nationalist leadets into the clutches of law, and he (Dillion) would not tie sur prised if in a month or two Hie majority of the leaders, including himself, were fouud picking oakum. .Mr. Bdfour had been in Dublin consulting witli thp Maglstiutes. Ti:ut looked like action, but Mr. Balfour always startled them by hurling proclamations into their uiidst and then flying from the country immediately, being apprehensive, per haps, for his own safety. Tlie governor's persistence In enforc ing the c >erclon act would be certain to lead to trouble. lie was pot-hive that if the Land Commissioners gate only inadequate judicial reductions lh% Salisbury Cabinet would dnd them selves face to face with a condition of things unparaded in the history of Ire land. The Commissioners in the past two years have been just, but there was every reason to few the result of the later Tory appointments. In this re spect there was much danger iu the situation. DROWNED IN CHESTER CREEK. A Young Mun Fulls Overboard From n Train of Cars- WEST CHESTER, September 18.— The train leaving Philadelphia for Wawa Station at 10.15 last night had among Its passengers Willie McCor mick, a bright and promising young man, a printer by trade, residing with his parents and three brothers on llan num avenue, this borough. Upon reaching a point about a thousand yards east of Wawa, Conductor Chat lie Lack, cut off two rear carr of his train for the purpose of their being taken to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central Road, and to which an engine was attached, and slowly they moved towards tbe station. Just as the engine struck a bridge crossing Chester creek Conductor Lack called out to his tired passengers the words : "Wawa ; passengers for West Chester change cars 1" and a few seconds later he heard a splash in the creek, and with it came the cry that some one had fallen overboard into the stream, some twenty or thirty feet below. Instantly Conductor Lack stopped bis train and ran down the 'embank ment to the water's edge aud jumped in to rescue the struggling being who was caliog piteously to be saved. The water proved much deeper than Lack bad anticipated and baying a very muddy bottom his feet and legs be come so heavily laden in the mud that he was likely to be drowned himself and ouly by great exertions did he reach tbe landing where he had jumped in. Calling to tbe struggling person in the water to strive to reach tbe other side of the stream Lack ran up on the bridge and descended to tl e water by the other side, but again the mud prevented him from swimming, and now being joined by his engineer and baggagemaster, tbe latter taking bold of a tree on the bank, tbe others joined hands with his and wading in endeavored to reach the sinking body, but their combined efforts in this way lacked several feet of covering the re quired distance and then it was that in the sight of carloads of people at the quiet midnight hour the body sank to rise no more save at the hands of a (jredging party some twenty minutes later.
