GOVERNOR FORAKER. of Ohio, im
agines that Mrs. President Cleveland
snubbed bitu at the reception at Phila
delphia, because sho failed to shake
bands with him. 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

er. Philadelphia had on its best duds,
nearly every house was profusely decorated
with the natioutal colors andmany triumphal

A million of people where in the city to

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

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 <ui premiums
received. Private hunkers must pay three
mills on each dollar of eipital employed.
Onediall'of the taxes collected under this
hill are to he paid into the sinking fund.
The seeoud hill Is in the main similar to
the above, although some of the proposed
metliotls of assessments dllfer. It is under
stood the Commissioners have not been
able to agree upon the tax ou corporations,
which after all appears to !• the \ ital point
Oil tile hill, t hie of these t\\ o proposed hills
the next Legislature \\ ill no doubt lie able
to formulate a law that will meet the exi
gencies of the ease ; when this has IHVII
done, it is to ls hoped no line jugglery will
he allowed to thwart the will of the Assem
bly.—Etc.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, I>. 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.

Army of the Republic. Every man
who has at.y sort of connection with
the army is taken in. The inducements
offered are that, by concentrated effort
next winter pensions can be procured
for all who are in the army. Some of
our people suspect that It is a scheme to
turn the Grand Army into a political
machine for the repunlicans. At any

for recruits for tbe Grand Army were
republicans."

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

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.

as being Just what you claim, an exceileut sub
titute for quinine, with none of Its bad effects.
Mrs. Lucas had a serious form of tnalarla, and
was confined to her bed for months. Kaskinc
had her up and around lu a few days, and in a
short time cured her."
Living In the malaria districts of Maryland I
became a victim of worst forms of malarial le
ver. I drugged myself with quinlue and other
remedies with out avail. I was greatly reduc
ed when I heard of Kaskine. Its curative pow
ers were a medical revelation to me. It cured
me and I have not had a return of the troubles
