Tho country just now has a talking

they are not likely to do "anything else.

be the result of the post office contest, it
has made a breach in the Republican

TIIH Sl'ltlNU ELKOriOS.
Tho following from tho WilliamspDi t
Sun is appjicablo to this county.
As tho citizens of tho different town
ship will soon bo called upon to choose
men to fill the different town and local
offices, wo would urge upon them the
importance of selecting capable and hoiii
est men. Wo kuov that there is a elms
of voters that pay but little attention to
tho February election; they think that
because the olliccs in bo tilled arc but
small one?, with but littlo or no compen
sation, it is of no importance) what the
material i that the officers aro undo from,
and if such voters attend the election at
all they are apt to cut .their votes for
men who aro simply good, jolly fellows,
without stopping to consider whether
they aro in any way qualified to fill the
offices for which they aro named; and
there aro voters among tho same class
who will opposo tho election of good
men simply to carry out sonio potty per-.
sonai spite, uut tuco voters torget that
the great bulk of taxes that they aro
compelled to pay goes into tho hands of
the town officials; yet, while thoy forget
that fact at tho timo they aro casting
their votes, they aro tho ones that are
eternally aud forever grumbling about
the way tho township affairs aro con
ducted. It would bo more to their credit
if thoy would take moro interest in the
selection of good officers or growl less
after said officers aro chosen. Again,
wo say choose tho best men you have to
fill tho different township offices, and if
thoy aro men of jiropci ty thero should bo
no objection, as it would seem but nat
ural that thoso who liavo tho most taxes
to pay would bo tho most concerned
about tho proper administration of tho
affairs of tho township. Especially try
and get an unprejudiced person for As
sessors ho is not only expected to
make fair and impartial assessments, but
it depends a considerable upon him
whether the township has n responsible
and faithful collector of tho Stato and
county tax,
The iii'counts that reach us of tho sttf
fei lngs endured by tho crew of tho Jean
iielto ought to have tho effect of deter
ring any one elso from engaging in such
n hazardous and unprofitable enterprise
as tho exploration of tho Polar sea. et
thero is little room to hope that this will
bo the case. Arctic navigation seems to
have a charm which adventurous spirits
are unablo to resist, and tho hardships
which Captain Dchong and Ins compan
ions suffered will not prevent others
from following their example.
Hlate Statistics.
The first instalment of tho annual re
port of tho secretary of internal affairs
has iust come fiom tho hands of tho
stato printer.
Tho report shows that thero aro 1,172,
700 taxablcs in the state, and that the
agcregato value of tho tnxablo real es
tate of tho commonwealth last year was
81,C10,C8,278. In addition to this
thero was S10S,010,')21, worth of real
estato exempt from taxation, making tho
total nssessed value ot real estate !?I,U.S,
301,7!!0. Tho total valuation of house
hold furniture, over and above the $300
exempt by law, is given at Si .220,009
for the entire state, $o,329,72A of this
amount being credited to Philadelphia.

A Stato Komi System.
vc will liavo good, hard and smooth
roods, free from toll, in I'ennsylvania, as
soon as the Legislature passes a judicious
road law, by organizing a public road
system on the common school plan. We
have suggested the plan again and again,
Briefly stated, it is to create a depart
ment of Publia Roads, wilh stale, countv
and township supervisors, holding the
same relation to tho public roads that the
state and county superintendent and (lis
trictdirectors do to tho public schools. The
stato to appropriate at least one million
dollars yearly to the public roads, and
each township to receive its quota, pro
vided it raises an equal amount of taxa
tion that would come to it as its share of
the appropriation. Tho county super
visors to have the general direction and
supervision of all the roads of his county,
and to see that tho township supervisors
perform their duties. Such a system
would give us good roads throughout
1 cnnsylvania in less than ten years tune.
In no way could the stato appropriate
money to better purposo than to give
the public good roads. Wuisp't. Sun.
The WurK of Mullie .Mnguircs.
George II. Wagner, a wealthy farmer,
who lived near MiiU'm, Schuylkill county,
some time ago received a letter warning
him cither to leave that part of the coun
try or to prepare to go to the lower re
gions; that if he did not get out his barn
and live stock would be burned, his
house destroyed, and ho would bo shot.
No attention was paid to tho warning,
and tho supposed Mollies, after waiting
ten days, proceeded to carry out their
threats. At 1 o'clock in the morning
Mr Wagner was aroused from sleep to
find his barn on fire. IJy hard work he
and his daughters saved thiity horses
and cattle, and, with the assistance of
tho Rev. Mr. Hay, who was staying
there for the night, tho dwelling was also
saved, but the barn and its valuable con
tents were destroyed. During the fire a
number of shots wero heard on the
mountain, supposed to have been fired
by tho incendiaries. About fifty neigh
bors went in pursuit of them, but up to
last accounts none ot tho guilty parties
had been apprehended. Mr. Wagner
does not know whom ho has offended
unless it is a number of roughs whom
ho refused to employ recently. His
homejwill be guarded herenfterto prevent
us uesu ueuon.
The Sleeping Hungarian.
It may by of interest to many of our
readers to know that John Gyumber, tho
Hungarian who achieved national fame
last year by taking a prolonged nap at
the Jelugh uouuty almshouse, has been
again heard irom, and is at present
worKing in mo roiling mill at Allentown.
It will be remembered that after John
had slept continuously for sovonty days,
ho awoke one morning and almost killed
himself by jumping from a wimlovr
twenty-fivo feet to the ground, and when
taken back to his room went to sleep
again until three weeks later, when ho
recovered and gave a history of his life,
lie was then taken into tho'family of an
upholsterer, and under good caro
and treatment ho improved so
much that he felt able to hup-
poit himself, and he therefore went to
work in tho rolling null. Ho works
steadily, is a good hand and earns fair
wajes. lie has regained his form and
is as straight as an arrow. I lis memory
is Btill defective, but is gradually im
proving. Ho is popular wilh his fellow
woikmcu, owing no doubt to tho singu
lar atlliction under which ho labored for
so long a time, t Juitts a number ot Jluu
garlans aro at work in tho rolling mill.
Owing to Iheir unpronouceablo names
thuy are known by their numbers which
aro pinned to their coat lapels. Tho
f.iniom ex-sleeper is known as No. 30.
How (lie UqmblI(Miis liaise Tlicir Cam
paign Funds.
Tho IL'imblioin Ring in this stato has
always found it easy to manage Philadel
phia and Allegheny. In tho latter it has
be-Mi customary to'havo tho delegates to
tho State Convention named by a county
committee duly packed for tho purpose.
Hut this year, when Mr. Boss Mageo
brought his committee together to exo-
onto orders from headquarters, he was
confronted by a petition signed by somo
oi the largest uiauiiiaciurerx ot nttsuurg,
men whom ho wolf knew to bo in tho
labit of controlling thousands of work-
ingmen at tho elections. They demand
oil that tho choice of delegates should ho
remitted to conventions called for the
purpose
'I ho Bos yielded gracefully, but lie
took tho occasion to give the public
somo information, which ought to bo
well considered, Ho said lie had great
respect for tho signers; "they had made
millions out of tho Republican party
where tho polilieans had mado cents: "
and if anybody was interested in keeping
it in tho old nils, thoy were. Hero is 'i
clear confession by a competent boss, of
what is generally known, namely, that
tho Republican campaign funds are reg
ularly recruited from tho profits of busi
ness firms and corporations, who thus
buy special priveleges from tho party in
power. This constitutes a serious danger
to free institutions. It makes popular
elections a farce, and representative gov
ernment a sham. Legislatures and Con
gresses, Governors and Presidents, elect
cd by bucIi means, aro necessarily tho
mere creatures of those who provide the
means, and who diivo their workmen to
tho polls to baok up their monoy.

in; ADMirrr.D as a statu.
Somo of tho holders of tho bonds of
Yankton county. Dakota, have prepared
a protest against tho admission of Dako
ta as n State, which will soon be for
warded to Washington. Tho allegations
therein contained, If true, show u remark
ably bad record for tho citizens of that
county.. It is set forth that in 1872 tho
county issued $200,000 in bonds to nid
tho Dakota Southern Railroad, under an
act of Congress, which bonds nro widely
distributed: that under tho lead of some
of the men now pushing the admission
at Washington the county slopped tho
interest upon these bends aud tried to
repudiate them, but after several years'
litigation tho United States Supremo
Court, in May, 1880, decided that they
must bo paid. Since then, by various
disreputnbie expedients, aided by the
Territorial Legislature, they have avoid
ed tho payment of interest, which now
amounts to $150,000. Ono expedient
was a law permitting the County Com
missioners to resign Immediately by fil
ing a paper. By so resigning, tho Com
missioners escaped service last summer,
and when the a Hairs of tho county de
manded somo attention, new Commis
sioners were appointed early one Mon
day morning, who met secretly, trans
acted somo business, and resigned before
daylight to avoid process. 1 Ins trick
was approved by the voters, who re-elected
them, but they feared to qualify,
Finally two of them qualified secretly,
transacted some business, and then re
signed. In view of this condition of
affairs the bondholders will protest that
JJakota is not ready lorsclt-governnient,
and that the federal power, winch an
thotized the bonds, should protect the
holders and not encourage repudiation
A Tumor Weighing 112 Pounds.
UKMAiiKAiu.i: suhmcai. operation.
Palo and pinched in fcatures.a woman
of largo proportions was carried into tho
clinic room of the University Hospital
yesterday afternoon, where Dr. William
Goodell was busy arranging a caso of
glittering surgical .instruments subse
quently employed in nu operation of an
unusual character. Tho subject was a
woman thirty-ono years ot age, Ihe
mother of three children, who had conic
from her home in the littlo hamlet of
Blanchard, Centre county, to havo deter
mined by tho knife tho question of her
existence. There wero about thirty phys
icians present, including Dr. Carello, U.
S. N., Dr. Parker, U. S. N., and Drs. G.
W. Smith and Rolla, of Ilollidaysburg,
and a group of students, who watched
tho operation with interest. Tho patient
was about ." feet, inches in height, and
by actual measurement five feet one and
n half inches in girth,or within threeinches
as great around as she was in stature.
Tho cause of her abnormal condition was
an ovariaou tumor, which had already
attained a weight much greater than her
body and was slowly and surely sapping
her vitality, ilio tumor made its an
pearanco nine years ago, and from tho
start grow with amazing rapidity. For
some timo tho woman has been unable
to assume any other than a sitting pos
ture, the very act of lying down making
death certain by sultocation.
Dr. Goodell, after administeringether,
placed the insensible subject in the best
position her great bulk would admit and
made tho incision. The keen-edged
knife sank deep into tho ilesh and the
deft fingers of tho skilled surgeon were
busy in separating tho tumor from the
life it was feeding upon. When the mass
had been completely taken away it was
placed in a tub of the largest size and
filled the vessel within three inches from
the top. Tho tumor was then placed
upon the scales and it was ascertained to
weigh one hundred and twelve pounds,
the largest, it is believed, ever removed
from a human being, Subsequently the
patient, now reduced to n mere skeleton
and hanging to life by tho merest thread
was gently lifted to the scales and was
lound to weigh but seventy five pounds
or thirty-seven less than tho ni.-.ss just
taken irom her body.
On recovering consciousness sho
could scarcely express the sense of relief
she experienced. lho absence ot tho
weight that had been a burden to her
for so many years was so novel and yet
so pleasant that sho was comparatively
buoyant in spirit. Dr. Goodell, when tho
woman had been carefully placed m bed,
expressed the belief that sho would live.

I fear many children arc sent to school

well be more unfair and Injudicious than to
subject a child to irksome confinement and
premature study for the sake jif convenience
or to supplement defective methods of home
training. It is clear al-o that no fixed ne

all children to school. There are people who

their overcoats on the. lSth of April, though

there are many parents who seem to put
their children to school when the predeter
mined birthday comes, without the least eon-
sideration of the mental and physical devel
opment of the subject of their experiment.
Ihe plain truth is that eacli child should be
gin school when he is lit for school that i,
irlien he Is physically strong enough to bear
the confinement aud tho mental elTort. Few
appreciate tho strain that even two or three
hours' attendance daily, and the effort to
master two or three simple little lessons, ex

children. Their brain aud nerves are ex
quisltlvely delicate, and it is a period of such
rapid growth that the power of nutrition Is
taxed in supplying mateilal for the forma

that dally attract the keen observation of the
child, the new words ami phrases, the imr
scry rhymes and games, iitTord stlmulous
enough to quicken tho development of
the mental faculties. Abundant out

nnd long hours of unbroken sleep are abso
