Reciprocal Beer and Coffee. “The gospel temperance people of Wil- liamsport at one of their meetings the - other day displayed the liveliness of their disposition by pitching into a number of public characters, one of whom was no less a person than Hon, Jayes (. Braine. It appears that Mr. Braing, in his solicitude for the establishment of reciprocal relations with Brazil, portrayed the advantage it would be if the Brazilians could be induced to accept malt and beer from usin return for their coffee. Any one can gee that this would be a good trade, with the advantage on our side if the beer to be sent to Brazil should be no better than that which is usual- ly sold in our saloons. But the gospel temperance people have no fancy for reciprocityjthat has beer in the arrange. ment. Accordingly C.W. Hu~TINGDOY, D.D.S.,one of their shining lights,wrote to Mr. BLaiNe for a copy of “Malt and Beer in South America,” a publica- tion in which the whole scheme of swapping beer for coffee is set forth, it evidently being his intention to blow BraiNe up about it. But the wily Jum couldn’t be caught in that way ar.d replied that he could not furnish Mr. Hu~rmwevon with a copy, because the department had no copies on hand and the “edition was exhausted.” But the D. D. S. wasn’t satisfied with this, and in spite of Mr. BraiNe's refusal he procured a copy of the desired pamph- let; and further, more he wrote a letter back to the great apostle of Recipro- city in which he almost called him a liar, saying thatfhe (Huntingdon) “had doubted the assertion that a man out- side of the damnable liquor traffic could not procure a copy,” but that now he was convinced of that fact. The letter then went on to lament that “our government is in league with the liquor business in this country; that ic is lending its aid to extending that blighting, cursing and misery-breeding business to the islands of the sea and other missionary grounds; and that while this information is gleaned atthe public expense, it is withheld from the patriotic moral ¢itizens of our land and given freely to thetworst element of citi- zens and aliens.” Taking it all together the letter was a scorcher, and if Mr. Braine would have “reciprocated” in kind the cor- respondence would have furnished some mighty lively, reading. This in- cident was brought to the attention of the Wilhamsport meeting, presenting Mr. BraiNe in a rather unfavorable light from a gospel temperance point of view, and of course the assembled brothers and sisters could come to no _other concivsion than thatithere wagal . very largeland venomous snake conceal ed in the reciprocity project. ——The harvests on the.continent of Fiarope are reported to be very uuprom- ising this year.

Senator-elect PErrer is far from re- {| garding with satisfaction the state of things existing in Kansas. Speaking in-Cooper Institute, New York, a few /|-evenings ago, he said : One-half thethomes of this country are mort- gaged for more than they are worth. Ifthe whole State of Karvsas were put up at auction at thirty days’ notice it would not bring enough to pay her indebtedness. I make the -same assertion regarding every agricultural -State in the country. We are not starving in Kansas. We propose to pay our debts, but we -ean’t pay a 10 per cent. debt out of a 2 per cent business. The farms are worth a little more than the debts upon them; but ihe railroads of the State owe four or five times their value. This is, indeed,a discouraging exhib- it, particularly of a State that has been under Republican rule from the ‘very first hour of its existence. There has been no Democratic inter regnam in Kansas to break the monotony of Republican depression. The entire picture as painted must be credited to “the grand old party.” But what are the Kansas farmers going to do about it’? They have been voting the Republican ticket right straight along for more than a quarter of a century, helping to keep in power a party which has repaid their fidelity with a heavy burden of tariff taxation. Whether drought parched their fields or the grasshoppers destroyed their crops, there was no let up tojthe tariif that increased the price of their house- hold necessaries, their building mater - ials and the implements of their labor. They entrusted the making of their State laws to men who made them in the interest of the mortgagee and for the protection of the “eight and ten per cent. interest” shark. They sur- rendered the governmental l to Republican taught them that the way to become rich was to be taxed by the tariff and robbed by the money lenders. now PEFFER. comes east with his tale of woe.

Thirty-two soldiers and sailors have left the Erie Home because they were | required to give eighty per cent. of their pensions to the institution. This does not look like a charitable requir- ment. The Home, if we understand its object,ia to support the old soldiers. It is a perversion of it object if the old soldiers must support the Home. It does not appear by what authority the managers demand contributions from the inmates whose pensions shoald be | considered sacred. If a pensioner sees fit to give part, or the whole of his pension to such an institution, there can be no objection to it—the money is his own and he can do with it what he pleases, but there is no auathority that can compel him to make such a contribution against his will. When the Erie Home was establish- ed,it was not understood that the veter- ans would be called upon to help sup- port it. It was to bea State institution where the veterans, who entered it, would be supported by the Common- wealth. If the State cannot afford to keep it up, repeal the Act establishing it. The veterans can probably support themselves as well, if not better, near- er home. ———— General Bensamix F.

Numerous State ments, The authorities of the Treasury De- partment are having quite a time in making statements that will give the most favorable appearance to the con- dition of the national exchequer. Last week no less than three statements were issued, and each was vouched for as being correct. The first showed a de- ficit of $263,164. Upon second consid. eration it was seen that this wouldn't do—that it gave an unfavorable im- pression of the financial management of the powers that be. managers tried their hand at making another statement that would look bet- 1 $4,664,870. This was something of an improvement on the first one.

Protesting Against the Bass. A number of prominent Philadelphia Republicans, of the respectable class, have come out in a public manifesto, strongly worded, against the continu- ance of M. S. Quay’s control of the par- ty in this State. The attack is squarely aimed at the Boss, with the accompany- ing warning that if his domination 1s allowed to go on it will end in the atter overthrow and destruction of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. What is particularly aggravating to these protesting Republicans is that,af- ter Quay, as they allege, has brought defeat upon the party by his high- handed conduct,he is preparing to take charge of it this year, and manage its convention and dictate its nominations, as if nothing of an untoward character had happened last year, and that his followers are ready to work the ma- chine again in customary compliance with his directions. The case is certainly a provoking one longer to the control and dictation of the Boss; but it is beyond any remedy that they may be able to apply. It is their own unquestioning support of party measures which the bosses have managed to direct in the past, that is to be blamed for the power which the chiet boss is able to main- tain in the party management, in spite of their protests. By their assis tance his machine, with its ramifica- tions, has become so completely incorporated with the party -that it can’t be broken without smash- ing the parcy also. -——The agents of the anthracite coal combination have been holding a conference in New York at which ar. rangements were made for putting up the price of a widely used and indis- pensable fuel. The trade in anthracite coal has become a monopoly, the ad- vantage of which is enjoyed by a few corporations and individuals w whose vast profits the public is made to con- tribute. Bad legislation, indifference to constitutional restraints, and supine- ness of popular sentiment, are answer- able for this evil. ——Secretary Rusk vainly inspects American hams, shoulders and flitches with his microscope, hoping thereby to assure the Germans that there is no trichina in them.

Fourth or JULY REGULATIONS.— Chief Burgress Reeder has issued the following injunction relative to the Fourth of July proceedings in this place : Notice is hereby given that on July fourth, 1891, no firecrackers, squibs, torpedoes, or other fire-works, will be permitted to be fired, thrown or explod- ed in the Diamond of the Borough of Bellefonte, or along the route of the procession to be gone over that day, trom 9 o’clock 1n the forenoon until af- ter the conclusion of the oration and othe ceremonies in the Diamond. Every vio- lation of this notice will be punished in accordance with the ordinance in such case made and provided. Itis farther ordered that the Diamond and the route of march to be gone over that day by the procession shall be kept clear of horses and of vehicles of all des- criptions, from 10 o'clock in the fore- noon until afier the close of the parade. KILLED oN THE RAILRoAD.— Belle- fonte was the scene of a fatal railroad accident on Thursday morning which re- sulted in the almost instantaneous death of Christ Peters, an employee of the Pennsylvania railroad. The unfortu- nate victim was unloading a car of coal at th eround house when a Snow Shoe engine with three cars attached went in- to the Y for the purpose of shifting. Peters got upon the first car to take charge of the brake. In making the switch the engine got through all right, but the switch was not. readjusted in NEA I RI II EIT INOER young girl residing near Jersey Shore, which she told her husband. Tt seems what the young girl, whose name is Ella M. Ramsey, was at home wich her mother when the great iflood of 1889 swept through the valley. Their home was swept away and for refuge they climbed into a tree at night. During the night the tree was overturned by the force of the water, but not carried away. Miss Ramsey and her mother | clung to the branches, and from 11 i o'clock at night until 4 o'clock the next day the young girl was in water up to her neck. Both were rescued, but the ex- posure was too much for the girl and she was taken ill. When she recovered she had lost her voice entirely. It was this story that Mr. Scely’s wife told him, and he at once took measures for the unfortunate girl's relief. He visited Dr. Pepper at the University 1 of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and ! interested that benevolent gentleman to such an extent that he offered to give Miss Ramsey free treatment and care in the University Hospital. Mr. Seely did not stop there, He saw the flood com- mission and secured tho clever sum of $300 for Miss Ramsey which he gave to her, and about three weeks ago “he and Mrs. Seely accompanied her to Phila- delphia where she was placed in the hospital. Yesterday word was received in Jersey Shore that Miss Ramsey will be home ngxt week. As Dr. Pepper said he would not let her go home until she could laugh and talk, it is fair to presume that she is cured, and it can be laid at the door of the Jersey Shore edi- tor.

PREACHER SUED For LiseL.— Rev. L. L. Seiber, pastor of the Lutheran church of Lewisburg, was placed under $1,000 bail for his appearance at the next term of court to answer the charge of libel. Some weeks ago there appeared in the Chronicle an article headed “A Dude Doctor Demented,” which created a sensation from the fact that the physi- cian attacked was entirely innocent of having done anything to provoke the assault and that the author of the article was Rev, L. IL. Seiber, pastor of the Lutheran church. The matter would not have been taken into court if it were not that the Rev. Seiber declined to make a satisfactory retraction after learning that he had assailed an innocent party, and by this legal action the physician seeks amends from a jury.-- Lewisburg News.
