EDITOR.
——As it is our custom not to issue
a paper during the weex between
Christmas and New Year, the Warcu-
Max will not appear next week.
-——1In regard to the revolution
which has established a so-called repub-
lic in Brazil, it now appears that in-
stead of its having been a movement of
the people, it was the work of bayonets
controlled by military adventurers.
Such a method of securing republican
institutions does not promise peaceful
and beneficent goverument,
——Mr. McKiNLEY, the Republican
leader in the House, is clearly of the
impression that our tariff laws need
amending, judging from the fact that
he has introduced a bill of thirty print-
ed pages, the purpose of which is to
correct abuses in the administration of
those laws. What a tattered old thing
the tariff must be to require such an
amount of patching.
——The other day the many friends
and admirers of the poet WHITTIER
congratulated him on the 82nd anniver-
sary of his birth. The “good gray
“head” of the Quaker poet is justly en-
titled to the laurel crown. His pro-
ductions, particularly that charming
winter pastoral, “Snow Bound,” don’t
require “Whittier Societies” to fathom
the meaning of what is as clear and
limpid as Pierian spring water.
In one of the Jast letters written
by JeErrErsoN Davis he reproved an
Arkansas editor who had written of
slavery as it had existed in the South,
as “chattel slavery.” He said that as
the law protected the life and person of
the slave he could not be considered a
chattel. This was too fine a distine-
tion to be made a quarter of a century
after the institution had been wiped out.
W. Haves Grier, Esq. recently
Superintendent of State Printing, who
went out of the newspaper business
when he assumed the printing superin-
tendency, has resumed his old calling
at the old place. His new paper, the
Columbia Independent, is a hansomely
printed sheet, of quarto form. A por-
tion of itis devoted to the interest of
the soldiers under the head of Te
Soldiers’ Knapsack. Brother GRIER
is an old and experienced printer and
we welcome him back to the news-
paper fraternity.

——-Since our last week’s announce-
ment of the attack of paralysis which
prostrated Dr. HicHBEE, State Super-
mtendent of Common Schools, death
has terminated his career. He died
after being taken to his home in Lan-
caster. The deceased was a man of
more than ordinary learning, being
particularly accomplished in the lan-
guages. He had much experience as
an instructor, and in most respects ably
and satisfactorily filled his official posi-
tion at the head of the common schools
of the State. What faults he had will
be forgotten in the recollection of the
service he rendered the cause of public
education.
Another labor strike of large
proportions is about to come off in
London. This time it will be in the
interest of the gas workmen,as the last
time it was to increase the wages of
the dockmen. It will be observed that
these labor agitations, which have be-
come rare in England, are not among
the class who do the manufacturing
work of the country. The men who
are engaged in the productive indus-
tries are satisfied with the gradually
increasing compensation which the pre.
vailing industrial prosperity affords
them. The pay of English workmen,
unlike that of their American co-labor-
ers, is an increasing quantity.

One day last week, more than
a year after the election in which Harg-
RISON profited by the blocks-of:ffve
business, Duprey ventured to cross the
Indiana line and make an appearance
in Indianapolis, feeling safe in the ar-
rangement with the Republican judi-
cial officers by which the writs that had
threatened him were tied up. He re-
ceived an effusive welcome from the
Republican officials who had engaged
to keep him out of the clutches of the
law, and by no one was he more warm-
ly greeted than by Judge Woops who
reversed his own decision in order that
the blocks-of-five projector might be
shielded from just punishment. It is
now about time for Harrison to give
DupLEY an office and Woobs a promo-
tion,
North Dakota comes into the
Union with a nice breeze, indeed—or.
in other words, with a perfeet blizzard
of corruption, so to speak. Its Senators
have hardly warmed their seats in the
carito! before there is a Jemand for an
investigation on charges of corruption
connected with their election. A ten
thousand dollar counsulship and $25,
000 in cash were the price offered tora
vote, according to the statement of one
of the members of the State legislature.
He doesn’t say why he didn’t take it,
but prebably somebody else supplied
his place at a lower figure.
cua naan ze,
——The result of the Cronin murder
trial in Chicago does not satisfy the
public idea of the punishment that
should have followed one of the most
atrocious crimes that was ever com-
mitted in this or any other country.
The murder was peculiarly revolting
from the manner in which the vie
tim was lured to his fate. That the
gallows is cheated by life imprisonment
for three of these bloody conspirators
and a term of years for the fourth,
doesn’t seem like making the punish-
ment fit the erime.

—Puck has a spirited picture of the
Republican party personated by a dis-
traught female cast -away on the tumul-
tuous ocean of polities. The party ship
is in the offing badly stranded. The
“Pari Reform,” “Civil Service Reform?’
and “Moral Ideas” planks have drifted
away irom the shattered raft that keeps
her from sinking and which consists of
only the three rotten timbers of “Monop-
oly,” the ‘Spoils System’ and the
“Pension Grab,” to which with desper-

Cleveland’s Patriotic Wisdom,
Liis Speech Before the Boston Mer-
chant's Association.
Thursday evening of last week Grover
Cleveland was one of the guests of the
Boston Merchants’ Association on the
oceasion of its annual banquet and made
a speech in which he referred in impres-
sive and eloquent terms to abuses pre-
vailing in American politics. Many
points were forcibly put, showing the
necessity for the reformation ot our
political methods, but especially in re-
gard to the corruption of the sufirage
and t.e occasion for tariff reform he
said :
Many of us may take to ourselves a
share of blame when we find confront-
ing us these perils which threaten the
existence of our free institutions, the pre-
servation of our national honor and the
perpetuity of our country. The condi-
tion annexed to the founding of our
government upon the suffage of the
people was that the sutlrage should be
free and pure. We consented to abide
by the honest preponderance of politica
opinion, but we did not consent that a
free vote, expressing the intelligent and
thoughttul sentiment ot the voter, should
be balanced by a vote of intimidation
and fear, or by an unclean, currupt
vote disgracefully bought and treacher-
ously sold.
Let us look with a degree of pity and
charity upon those who yield to fear
and intimidation in the exercise of their
right of suffrage. Theugh they ought
not thus to yield, we cannot forget that,
as against their free ballot, they see in
tne scale their continued employment,
the comiorts of their homes and the
maintenance of their families. We
need not stifle our scorn and contempt
tor the wretch who basely sells his vote
and who for a bribe bet:ays his trust
of citizenship. And yet the thought
will intrude itself that he but follows in
ina low and vulgar fashion the ex-
ample of those who proceed upon the
theory that political action may be turn-
ed to private gain.
But whether we pity or whether we
hate, our betrayal is none the less com-
plete ; nor will either pity or hate re-
store our birthright. But we know that
when political selfishness is destroyed
our dangers will disappear ; and though
the way to its stronghold may be long
and weary we will follow it—fighting
aswe go. There will be no surrender,
nor will there be desertions from our
ranks. Selfishness and corruption have
not yet achieved a lasting triumph and
their bold defiance will but hasten the
day of their destruction.
As we struggle on and confidently in-
vite a direct conflict with these entrench-
ed foes of our political safety, we have
not failed to see another hope which has
manifested itself to all the honest people
of the land. It teaches them that
though they may not immediately de-
stroy at their source the evils which
afflict them, they may check theirma-
lign influence and guard themselves
against their baneful results. The hope
risen like the star in the East, has fixed
the gaze of our patriotic fellow-country-
men, and everywhere—in our busy
marts of trade and on our farms, in
our cities and in our villages, in the
dwellings of therich and the homes of
poor, in our universities and in our
work shops, in cur banking houses and
in the ranks of inexorable toil—they
greet with enthusiastic acclaim the sad-
vent of ballot reform.
Thereare no leaders in this cause.
Those who seem to lead the movement
are but swept to the front by the surg-
ing force of patrotic sentiment. It
rises far above partisanship, and only the
heedless, the sordid and the depraved re-
fuse to join in the crusade.
This reform is predicated upon the
cool deliberation of political selfishness
in its endeavor to prostitute our suffrage
to the purposes of private gain. It is
rightly supposed that corruption of the
voter is entered upon with such business
calculation that or corruptor will only
pay a bribe when he has ocular proof
that the suffrage he has bargained for is
cast in his interest. So, too, it is reason-
ably expected that if the employee or
laborer is at the time of casting his bal-
lot removed trom the immediate control
of his employer the futility of fear and
TY
intimidation will lead to their abandon-
ment.
The change demanded by this ra-
form in the formalities surrounding the
exercise of the privilege of suffrage has
siven rise to real or pretended solicitude
for the rights of cur voters, and the fear
has been expressed that inability on the
part of electors to conform to the re.
quirements of the wvroposed change
might produce great inconvenience, and
in some cases result in dis{ranchisement. ’
It has even been suggested that the in-
auguration of the new plan might en-
croach upon constitutional guarantees.
It will not do to accuse of hostility to
the reform all thoss who present these
objections ; but it is not amiss to inspect |
their ranks for enemies in disguise, |
| county, is putting the finishing touches |
Though the emergency which is upon us
is full of danger, and though we sadly
need relief, all rights should be scrupu-
lously preserved. But there should be
no shufiling and no frivolous objections |
should be tolerated. When a dwelling
isin flames we use no set phrase of
speech to warn its inmates and no po- |
lite and courtly touch to effect their
rescue. Kxperience has often demon-
strated how quickly obstacles which
seemed plausible, if not convincing,
when urged against a measure of reform,
are dissipated by the test of trial, and
how readily a new order of things
adjusts itself to successful use.
ET OA NARS a rr Pe
Christmas Eve Games.
Christmas Eve should be a jolly time
in the family circle. Little people, we
all agree, iind more enjoyment in their
simple games than ther elders can de-
rive from more intellectual amusements.
Christmas Eve is one night in a year
when the older ones should unbend and
enter fully into the rolicsome spirit of the
hour. There are a great many old
games so old as to be comparatively new
the readers perhaps, which might be re-
vived on this happy night—games
which will make the tiny toddler wild
with delight and keep grandfather |
chuckling in a way that will do your
beart good. Here are a few of the old
games and harmless practical jokes :
THE FLOUR AND RING.
Pack a cofice cup--the deeper it
is the better-—with dry flour, and invert-
ing it over a plate gently raise
the cup and leave a smooth mold
of flour on tke plate. At first it
may net coine out whole on account of
too close packing, but a little practice
will enable you to make a mold perfeci- |
ly. The mold] once formed drop on the
centre of the top a plain gold ring and
range the players(as many as you please)
around the table on which the flour mold
stands.—The one selected to start the
game must take a knife and cut off a
piece of the mold from the top clear
through to the plate, and then hand the
knife to his right hand neighbor who
repeats the process, and so on around
the circle. The one who either by cut-
ing too close to the ring or undermin-
ing the column, causes the ring to fall,
must pick it out with his teeth, unassis
ted by his hands. The excitement of
the gue, and the appearance of the
unfortunate, lead usually to more than !
ane refilling of the cup.
THE BLIND FEEDING THE BLIND.
This laughable spectacle is provided
by blird-folding a couple of young men |
and seating them opposit each other at |
arms length. Give eacha spoon and |
place an ottoman between them with a |
soup plate full of granulated sugar.
Each then must try to fill his spoon
with sugar and deposit it in the others
mouth, which must be kept wide open
for that purpose. The appearance of
these two blindfolded, open-mouthed,
groping individuals, as they carefully
pour sugar into each other’s ears, necks
and faces, is ridiculous in the extreme.
A CRULLER RACE.
This race has all the amuse-
ment of the scene just described,
for those who look on, and fur-
nishes no little excitement to those
who take part. The prelimin-
aries are as follows : A piece of twine
several feet long is fastened at one end
to the upper hinge ofa door, or some-
thing else about eight feet from the floor.
The other end should be tied to the han-
dle of a cane. Along this line at inter-
vals of eighteen inches suspend ordi-
ary crullers (the largar the better) by
short cords which, when the long cord is
stretched horizontally will hold the
crullers where they can be reached easily
by the lips of a person standing on the
floor. Necessary adjustments may
be made for people of different sizes.
Each contestant folds his arms behind
him and stands under his partcular crul-
er. The judge holds the cane by which
it is stretched, and at the word “Go”
gently shakes the crullers which dance
about, evading the eager mouths. The
group, as they stand on tiptoe, and with
open mouths grope after the“coquettish
cakes, look not unlike young robins
when the mother comes home with a
tempting worm. The person who with
out unfolding his arms has swallowed
his cruller claims his prize. Now comes
the satisfaction for the defeated contes-
tants, when the Judge solemnly declares
with great dignity that Mr. or Miss—
won the honorable and enviable title of

publication, the object of which we |
heartily endorse :
To THE CIT1ZENS oF CENTRE AND
CLEARFIED COUNTIES.
On Wednesday, November 27th,
1889, near Karthaus, Pa., a most bru-
tal and shocking murder took place, in
which a young and pure girl sacrificed
her life in defense of her honor. Asa
mark of respest to the memory of the
victim, CLARA IDA PRICE,
it has been decided to erect a monu-
ment to her memory by public sub-
scription. Any one feeling like help-
ing, by their means, to mark the resting
place of this heroic girl, can do so by
sending the amount to the undersigned,
one of the solicitors, who will acknowl-
edgejthe receipt of all money by postal
card. The names of all contributors
will be preserved as friends of Purity
and Virtue.

Hien Scnoor Exercise.—The exer-
cises at the High School, last Friday
afternocn, previous to closing for the
holiday vacation, were appropriate and
interesting. Upon Prof. Etters calling the
| school to ordse there was a piano due
by Misses Schofield and Gross. This
was followed by an oration in which
slavery and its abolition was discussed
by Harry DeSilva. The “Conflicts of
Life” furnished ‘he subject of an ad-
| dress by Miss Annie Stott; the “Monroe
| Doctrine”? was the rath: formdable
{theme of George Potter's oration,
| which was followed by Miss Lillie
| Smith on “True Greatness,” Miss Car-
I rie Gross, on “Progress in Civilization,’
{and Miss Shirk “At the Tomb of
| Lincoln.” These were interspe rsed by
beautiful piano solas by Miss Schofield.
Charles Rowan then spoke o? the “Bal-
lot Box” with a strong leaning in fav-
or of the Australian system ; Miss
Florence Longacre ventured upon an ex-
tensive theme in speaking of the
“World of Women;" a song entitled
“Far Away,” was then sang by Miss
Annie Stott and Sadie Bayard, followed
by Miss Bridgie Curry whose subject
was “Give the Boys a Chance.” John
Morgan spoke of “The Manufacturing
| Interests of the United States,” Miss
Laura Haffer orated upon “Ptriotism,”
|and Miss Millie Smith expressed her
| views in an address that was entitled
“Persevere.” “Will He Succeed,” by
' Miss Myra Holiday, very appropriate-
[ly followed an oration the subject of
which was perseverance. Boyd Musser’s
closing oration was on “The Crime of
the Century,” referring to the Cronin
assussi nation.
These exercises were followed by an
address from D. F. Fortney, esq., who
administered some necessary reproot to
! the boys for not displaying as much
i application as they should, and gave
' the scholars generally some good advice.

A REMARKABLE Loss AND FiIND.—
The Lock Have Express of the 12 inst,
relates how a large sum of money that
"had been singularly lost by a business
(man of that place was restored to him
| in an equally singular manner:
i James Quiggle, aged 8 years, is the
son of Robert Quiggle who lives on
Jay street
the alley in the rear of Jacob Smith's
Lig store building yesterday noon, on
his way t) school, James picked up a
stall oilcloth bag which was lying on
the ground, and which he found upon
examination contained money. The
little fellow had no idea whatever of
the value of the money and was liberal
with his playmates, among whom he
divided a portion of the money. In
company with HEddie Drake young
Quiggle went to the house of W. B.
Drake, on Bald Eagle street, who when
he] heard the boy’s story, gave him
twenty-five cents for the money, the
lad being apparently satisfied to ex-
change the bank bills for the silver
piece. Mr. Drake immediately con-
sulted Alderman Noble, who advised
him to place the money in bank and
await further developments.
Last night at a late hour Merchant
Jacob Smith made the startling dis-
covery that a bag containing $1,390 in
bank bills and gold certificates was
missing from his bed room. Mr. Smith
kept the money bag safely hidden away
between the mattresses of a child’s crib
in his bed room, and the discovery that
the treasure was missing caused con-
siderable] excitementgin that particular
Smith household. The report of the
Quiggle boy’s big find reached Mr.
Smith’s ears, and this morning he had
recovered all the money excepting $135.
The loss of the monoy- occurred in a
most singular manner: In changing a
bill for a customer in the forenoon, it
was neccessary to take the money bag
from its hiding place, and being in a
great hurry at the time, it was placed
for the time beween the coverings on
the baby’s crib. When Mrs. Smith
was mak ng up the baby’s bed she gave
the covers a shake and the bag contain-
ing the money flew out of an open win-
dow, unnoticed by her. The recovery
of the money was almost as singular as
the manner of its loss, and Mr, Smith
showed his generosity by giving the
Drake and Quiggle boys each $20 re-
ward.

FArAL ACCIDENT IN NITTANY VaAL-
LEY.—We learn from the Lock Haven
Democrat that David Fravel, employed
at P. B. Crider’s lumber job in Nittany
Valley, met with a fatal accideut while
engaged at his labor. The men who
were employed in skidding logs eft
the job at the dinner hour and ali went
to the camp but young Fravel. Iravel,
who remained behind to finish what he
was doing, told the other men to go
to their dinners and he would soon fpl-
low. As he did not make his appear-
ance, the men went back to look for
him and found his lifeless body lying
upon the ground. The body was still
warm but there was a bruise on his fere-
head, caused by striking a stone when
hefell. The skull was crushed and life
had fled. He had evidently fallen and
met with an accidental death. Justice
of the Peace, John A. Harter, empanel-
ed a jury and held an inquest on the
body end a veidies in accordance
with the facts as above stated was
rendered. Fravel was a young married
| man, aged £7, and leaves a wife and one
child. The eightecn men employed by
Mr. Crider made up a purse of money
sufficient to pay all expenses connected
with his funeral. The deceased lived
at what is called the junetion in Nittany
Valley.
GRANGER WoRK.—At the session of
the State Grange 2t Harrisburg last
week, Worthy Master Rhone in his an-
nual report spoke of the grange work ac-
complished during the past year,
Twenty-nine new granges were organ-
ized, seven reorganized and more than
two thousand five hundred new ‘mem-
bers added. In regard to the pic-nics
and exhibitions held under the auspices
of the organization, they are yearly in-
creasing in interest and usefulness.
This year’s meeting at Williams’ Grove
surpassed thut of any nrevious year on
ail the points that ccnstitute a success.
The exhibition of agricultural imple-
ments was large, varied and really mag-
nificent, there was abundance of inno
cent and beneficial amusement and the
intellectual attractions were furnished
by scholarly and accomplished speakers.
In regard to the Central State Picnic and
Exhibition in Fort Woods in Centre
county, he could truthfully declare it
to have been this year successful be-
yond the most sanguine expectations
