It ia B.iid that Col. E. A. Lewis and
Gcorgo II. Rowland, of I'ike county will
bo candidates for Congress from this dis
trict, and that Hobert Klotz is desirous
of n reelection. Tho other counties in
tho district will probably furnish n fow
nspirants for Congressional honors and
tho campaign bids fair to bo lively.

are to bo chosen a Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, .secretary of Internal Affairs,
a complete Congressional representation
and a Congressman-at-large, twenty-fivo

ccr, representative from tho twenty,
fourth district of this State, was adopted,
declaring it to bo tho seuso of tho Re
publican party that tho taxes on tobacco
and whiskey should not bo reduced. Tho
constituents of these gentlemen may ask

of tho fact that tho Treasury is over

It is reported on undoubted authority
that tho Czar and the Nihilist leaders
have come to an understanding, tho Czar
to extend clemency to tho Nihilists now
unacr arrest ; to prevent tlio death penal
ty where pronounced, and lighten tho
sentences of exile and imprisonment. Tho
Nihilists guaranteo a cessation of efforts
against the Uzar s life. The Czar
already moving about without his usual
safeguards, and has abandoned his se
elusion.
That the sentence of Sergoant Mason
raeew wim popular disapproval is con
clusively shown by the fact that hun
dreds of petitions have been circulated
praying for his pardon, id scores of
subscription papers' have met with liberal
responses, for tho benefit of Mason's
family. These indications are not to bo
explained away. They simply mean that
the people think Mason was too severely
punished. The President will doubtless
heed tho popular voice. The people of
Bloorasburg and Columbia county ought
n iuiuiBu u iow petitions anu iorwaru
them promptly to tho President.

A hill has been passed in Congress

etc., at tho encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic of Pennsylvania
on tlio battle Held of Gettysburg in July
1882. The bill provides that the arms

quato method of prevention that does
not sweep away tho most valued muni

tho test of such administration, either
tho party in power is unfit to govern the

failure."
The New York World does not look
favorably upon tho pardotimg of Ser-
geant Mason, and says that peoplo who
asK it must no so "on the ground that
as even body wanted Guiteau killed. Ma
son has deserved well of the country by
violating uis soiemn personal duty as a
soldier without accomplishing the death
ot uuiteau. Hardly. Tho true
ground is, that tho sentence is ex
cessive and theroforo unjust. Had he
been tried iu a civil court he would not
have received so severe a sentence,

without discussion, unless the Vermont
Senators explanation that ho knew of
oertaiu violations of tho law iu tho
matter of tho improper use of official
stamps by persons presumably connected
with soino ot tho executive departments
can bo called discussion i and yesterday
tho bill as amended was passed by the
Senate presumably on tho strength of
Mr. Edmund's plea that because certain
officials who aro not Senators swindle
tho Government with impunity in de

Among tho judicious recommendations
nnd provisions for tho better conduct of
tho postal service tho lack of any allusion
to tho miserable method of treating let
ters accidentally unpaid is painfully con
spicuous. Thero Is not a postal servico
in Christendom wliero such a studiously
designed inconvenlcnco to business is
tolerated or known. If, by chance, a
letter is dropped in the box with a two
cent instead of a three-cent stamp, it
is forwarded to Washington instead of
to tho address, and then a rigmarolo is
begun costing tho Government one, two
or thrco cents, and tho person to whom
tho letter is addressed two or threo days
delay, as well as extra postage. This is
buugling of tho most inexcusable sort.
T ... .. !..- !...!. 1.,
iu every pusiui hltyiuu liiuiu wuriu, oiivu
ours, letters aro taken to their address
nnd, if insufficiently paid, tho sum duo is
collected beforo delivery. It is incredi
ble that a business peoplo like ours have
submitted to this iutolerablo insolcnco of
official perversity. Such conduct would
create n revolution in Kugland, France
or even Germany, where, though tho
Government is permitted to open cor
respondence, tho citizens would reclaim
vigorously against the delay and extra
cost of writing nnd forwarding tho
shortago on letters. Let us have this
reform at once. It is a retlection upon
tho postal authorities and Congress that
it has been permitted to exist so long.

It is not a pleasant retlection that
follows tho startling announcement that
a new form ol adulteration ot Hour is
extensively manufactured and sold in
Easton. It is called "Mineral Pulp,"
and it is mado of a certain rock that
nourishes in Northampton county. It
has a bluish cast and tho object of mixing
it with Hour, sugar and other household
commodities being to enlarge tho pro
fits by an increaso of weight. For in
stance, it is said that a barrel of Hour
adulterated with tlio pulp will add one
dollar and a half to tho profits of the
adulterator. This is a big thing, espec
ially when the sales aio large, as they
aro in most of the mills of Pennsylvania.
The agents of tho Easton pulp factory
are going over too otitic, snowing min
ers the beauty of their cow article. We
don't know whether any of them havo
visited this vloinity or not, but presume
thoy will get around alter awhile
Tliere'niust bo a demand for tho article,
or else iiastou s three Mineral I'uiii iac
tories would't be running night and day.
What with ground rock m Hour, glu
close in beer, terra alba in candy, sand
in sugar, acid in vinegar, poisonous
leaves in tea, it is no wonder that peo
pie aro pretty generally complaining of
their kidneys, it s about tunc that the
laws In regard to the adulteration of
household commodities should bo rigidly
enforced. There are enough of them on
the statute books, nud somebody should
be mado an example of. Easton would
be a first class place to begin tho work,

THE STAE E0UTE OASES.
Col. W. A. Cook, one of the attorneys
on the part of the government iu tlio
Star route prosecutions, has tendered his
resignation to tho Attorney General and
withdrawn. As to his action, lie says:
"Tlio causes leading to this action on my
part aro of two or three months' duration.
I may say that over since the death of
President Garfield I havo noticed tho
gradual freezinj-out process of all the
original agencies in these cases, and
when Mr. Gibson was Bqueezed out by

aud I felt in his loss that of a valuable
aid. Iu fact, I havo received no encour
agement, nor nave i been sent tor or
given tho confidence of President Arthur
or his Cabinet. He further states that
the detectives ho employed, have all been
removed and replaced by others from
Philadelphia a city iu which the de
tectivo force does not command much
confidence. There has never been
strong belief that the Star route prosecu
tions would be pushed to conviction, and
the statements ot (Jol. Cook will not
strengthen the popular lack of faith
The Philadelphia Times says editor!
ally, "The time has come iu tlio Star
route cases when action and results must
supplement professions; tho way to an
swer Mr. Cook, tho retiring attorney,
with crushing force, is by sending Dor-
sey and Urady to prison ; tho way to
provo an no nas enarged and even more,
is to fail in tho punishment of tho crim

I ho devastation caused by the Hoods
in tho South is appalling. Tho water

of country, destroying property nnd sac

how many persons have pemhed, and

On tho Mississippi, light di aught
steamers have been sent out to relievo

river is at .Milliken s JSenu. Thero is an
overflow and counter-overflow iu that
district. 1 ho waters from tho Mississii
pi aro going over the levee, nnd tho

in its course. The location of tho whirl
pool changes continually and every day
it completes new destruction, a large
vawl filled with negroes was caught in
it a fow days ago and upset, and all the
occupants ot tno boat were drowned,
The whirlpool struck a church tho other
