of council of boroughs to thrco years
and empowering councils to fill vacan
cies, has passed tho Senato finally.
Hon. James Gambloof Williamsport
died last week Thursday. He was
President Judgo of Lycoming county
for ono term, and was nu ablo jurist

Tho Sunlight Company, with a capi
tal of $3,000,000, formed to operate
improved devices and systems for light
ing by electricity nnd transmitting elec
tric power in various parts of tho conn
try, was incorporated at Albany on
Saturday, February 21.
JoTin W. Forster, of Indiana, has
been nominated for minister to Spain,
with referenco to questions pending be
tween that country nnd tho United
States. Mr. Foster is n man of much
experience, having served as minister
to Mexico and St. Petersburg. Ho hns
been practising law for somo timo in
"Washington.
Tho proposition mado by republican
members of tho House to order printed
10,000 extra copies of Smtill's Hand
book to bo distributed by Senators and
Representatives among their constitu
ents, was properly defeated by Demo
cratic votes. The people do not caro
to pay for books that arc to ho handed
out to political favorites simply as a re
ward for party services, and tho Demo
cratic members havo shown that they
mean reform when they talk it, by vo
ting against tho measure.
On Monday tho following important
legislative work was dono at Harris
bare : In tho senate an act for tho pre
vention of advertisements of lottery
schemes and providing a punishment,
(which is imprisonment for two years,
and a fine not exceeding 1,000), pass
ed second reading. In tho house the
joint resolution requesting senators aud
members in congres to support the
propoied amendment to tho constitu
tion of the United States, declaring
that tho right of suffrage should not be
denied, on account of sex, passed by
a vote ot 78 to 70.
A Boston woman, tho daughter of a
onco wealthy man, being reduced to
the necoisity ot providing tor ner own
wants, resolved to manufacture pickles
and preserves for tho maikct. She
told her friends, and thoy promised to
becomo customers, alio found no dilli
culty in selling all sho could niako with
her own hands. The next year sho en
larged the business, and tho third sho
expanded it still further, her condi
merits havinc by this timo acquired a
reputation in tho market. Now sho is
making a net profit of about $10,000 a
year.
Tho Augustiuian Society of Law
rence, Mass.. a savings institution con
nected with St. Mary's Catholic church,
has collapsed, and nearly half a million
dollars lost to tho depositors. Tho
cause of failure is attributed to bad in
vestments of money not drawing
enough interest, and tho building of a
m-w church at a cost of 300,000. It
is thought by careful management tho
society would bo able to pay oft the in
dobtodness to tho creditors in about ten
years. The loss is severe because it
falls upon servant girls, 'laborers, and
mill operators who wero the deposi
tors.
It looks very much ns though tho
most if tin- profits now derived from
tho Soldiers' Orphans' school system
nnd their way into tho pockets of poli
ticians, and tho favorites of politicians,
who havo been given fat berths in con
nection with their management. And
it seems equally plain that these sinecure-holders
havo constituted themselves
a ring, aud devoto a good deal moro
time and energy to hunting up scholars
and thus furnishing excuso for their
continued assaults upon tho treasury,
and deceiving the public and tho law
makers as to tho real status of tho sol
dier's Orphan and tiio destitute soldier's
child, than to the legitimato work of
educating thoso properly, and with the
freo consent of their parents, in their
charge. Wilkeabarre Union-Leader.
Thero is considera" lo excitement in
Saratoga County over tho discovery, in
the town of Galway, of what is consid
ered a valuablo oil well. George Isa
bel, a farmer, residing in tho northern
part of tho town last fall dug a well
near his barn, to obtain water for his
(stock. Tho cattle refused to drink tho
water. Au examination showed an
oily substanco floating on it, which
burned, smellod and looked liko kero
so'ne. A sample was sent to Saratoga
to bo tested. It was pronounced to bo
petroleum. Tho sample burns icadily,
with a clear, strong llaine, nnd has n
faint but decided odor of kerosene, and
is nearly colorless. It is much heavier
oil than any sold at the stores1 It
does not resemblo crude petroleum, but
looks liko refined kerosene. The well
is said to bo forty-two feet in depth.
A bucket ot water contains about !).'!
per cent of oil.

ouiiuuis in uua iuuuius, nun imupieu
plan ot giving practical instruction in
earning nnd saving money. In tho
first placo ho encouraged all tho chil
dren to open bank accounts, and to
learn how to do business at a bank.
Boys with -idi fathers, boys with poor
fathers, and boys without fathers or
mothers wero incited to earn money in
honest and manly ways. They black
boots, deliver papers, shovel snow from
sidewalks, nnd curry in coal. Not a
fow nro learning trades during odd
hours, and many havo tools which tney
work with at homo. Tlioso who nro
doing mechanical work that requires
considerable skill meet and compnro
tho artioloi thoy hnvo mado. Thero is
a friendly rivalry to see who will havo
tho largest bank account and furnish
the best specimens of handiwork. Tho
work out of school is said to have a
irood effect on tho work dono in school
Tho boys are getting a reputntion for
thrift, skill, nml economy iw wen ns lor
scholarship.
Tho telegraphic reports to Jlrad
streets' from tho leading trndu centres
of tho country show a widespread itn
provemont as regards tho outlook for
tho Spring trade. A better feeling is
noted in Now York dry goods circles,
but tho trndo is late. "Wheat has do
olincd In the past week from ono and a
halt cents to two cents per bushel in
4 I. ..r
jimurican inaiKcis, parity us n result m
hotter weather throughout tho west, nnd.
partly as tho result of tho depressing in
fluence of recent heavy failures in tho
west, which havo had a depressing effect
upon tho speculative markets for grain
generally.
Corn declined slightly from tho same
causes that effected wheat, but tho
active consumptive demand for that
grain sustains the market. Provisions
havo advanced slightly, partly ns the
result ot diminished receipts ot hogs at
tho west, and partly in consequence of
buying nt Chicago.
I here
ero tiro no oppressive movements
on foot, so far ns reported, and the
apathy of speculators is ono of tlioso
things which can bo explained only by
future dovelopemeiils. Crude oil iii
barrels is higher than last week. Ito-
fined has likewise been advanced dur
ing the .veck, having been met by a
better demand than existed on Friday
last. Ocean tonnage is in fair supply,
demand is moderate and rates are lower.
Wool has continued in good demand,
but tho reduction in stocks nndndvnnco
in prices has caused somo falling off in
the aggregate sales as compared with
the preceding weeks of tho month.
Thero wero 201 failures in tho United
States reported during tho past week,
seventeen less than the preceding week,
sixty-nino moro than tho corresponding
week of 1882 and sixty-four moro than
the same week of 1881.
Tlio Massachusetts Reformatory Pris
on for Women, is not simply a penal
institution for punishment, but is meant
to reclaim tho women sent there. Tho
disciplino is peculiar to itself. Tho
prisoner is informed on her entrance
that on her behavior depends advance
ment. Tho lirst four weeks sho passes
by herself, seeing only such officers of
tho institution as havo occasion to visit
her. At tho end of thai timo sho is
rcgulary entered as a first division pris
oner, unless sho has been iti prison bo-
fore, m which case her probationary
term is doubled. Sho is promoted when
sho has gained a certain number of
credit marks. For each week of per
fect conduct m labor and study ten
marks aro allowed, and for each offenco
a mark is lost. As soon as she is enter
ed in this division sho is sot to work in
tho laundry, tho sewing room, tho
kitchen or at brush making, these occu
pations being frequently changed, so
that thoy may not grow monotonous,
and sho is obliged to attend school ono
hour each day. When tho rcquisito
number of marks is gained tho prisoner
is advanced to tho second division,
where another record card is given her,
and sho is informed that upon gaining
the required number of credits she will
bo promoted to the third division. Her
work and study continuo through nil
tho divisions, but she soon has a room
that is a trillo larger, and is allowed a
short recreation daily, unless by somo
misconduct sho forfeits the right.
Upon reaching tho third division tho
room is still larger, and tho time for
reaching' tho fourth is less than thnt
required for reaching any of the others.
When sho is in this final division sho
has a room a littlo better furnished,
with a few ornamental trifles allowed.
Sho eats from a table on which is a
cloth, and is occasionally allowed some
thing beside tho usual prison fare, a
cup of tea being considered a great lux
ury. That Sentinel, published at Laporte,
in an article upon tho resources of Sulli
van county, says their mighty forests
of hemlock, which havo heretofore
stood untouched, aro now bending be
neath tho woodsman's axe, and hun
dreds of nulls are being erected to work
tho timber into lumber. Only recently
a millionaire lumberman, who has bought
largo hemlock tracts in tho county, said
that tho future ot Sullivan as the cen
tro of tho hemlock trade was a recog
nized fact. IIo said that a prominent
official of tho Delaware aud Hudson
and Boston and Albany roads had told
him that all tho roads leading to Now
York recognized tho fact that they
must look to Sullivan county for their
hemlock lumber. Tho Binghampton
and Williamsport railroad is to bo
built this year and tho Williamsport
and North Branch will bo at least, par
tially finished. This road will afford
an outlet for much valuablo material,
one of tho most important of which is
tho hard woods bo much used in tho
manufacture of furnitnro. A now coal
mine has been opened a few miles from
Laporte and will bo worked in a short
time. It is said to bo a valuable one
with a heavy vein of good coal. Mr.
Laurer, an expert metallurgist, declares
that the county is ricli in copper and
iron, and that n company has been or
ganized to mtno and smelt tho former
metal, and that as soon ns tho now
railroad is built that tho iron oro will
form a lucrativo source of business. It
is also believed that oil underlies a por
tion of tho county. A brilliant future
is in store for Sullivan, and tho curtain
will rise just ns soon ns the railroads
aro built.
The Martyr Cameron,
A story was recently circulated at
Washington thnt Don Cameron would
resign nt tho end of the session, aud
allow tho Legislature to chooso a Dem
ocrat to fill tho vacancy. A dispatch
from Ilanisburg to tho Now York Sun
says :
Mr. Cameron has been n sufferer
physically for somo timo and is much
harrassed by his Senatorial duties nud
the obligations to his party which his
position imposes. lie feels thnt the
dangers which ho predicted last fall
would come to tho interest in this Stato
seeking tnriff protection nro at hand
and he is disposed to free himself from
nil responsibility for the demoralization
which impends to his party nnd whioh
ho blames upon tho revolt against his
leadership IIo is willing to abdicate
that position now and give tho Pennsyl
vania Republicans a clianco to reunite,
if they can, without his aid. Those
who profess to know his purposes de
claro llint nt tho cud of the session his
resignation will bo sent to Governor
Paulson.
But tho story is spoiled by a late
dispatch from Washington, whioh
savs :
"Kven granting that ho is weary of
publio Hie as the rumor says to resign
now would bo to hand his seat over to
a democrat as the governor nnd legis
lature of Pennsylvania nro democratic.
Rather th in bring about this result nt
a time when tho republicans win re
(i nl in (jvurv senator thev have in older
to control tho senate, Mr. Cameron will
no doubt bear tho burdens of publio
life nwhilo longer.
Don thus becomes n piany r fcr his
country s good.
THE COLUMBIAN AND
Qov. Pattison Proposes Another Holorm,
As has been the custom for many
years tho publio institutions of tho state,
through their representatives, hnvo been
appearing beforo tho legislature with
demands for appropriations to meet de
ficits. Theso demands have been moro
than usually importunate nt this session
nnd nro the causo of extended inquiry.
To such nn extent has tho practico ob
tained that Governor Pattison has been
led to givo tho matter a close oxamina
tion. Ho finds tho evil exists in tho ap
propriations being drawn in advance,
institutions entitled to $200,000 secur
ing $100,000 the Ilist three months, aud
.at the end coming out with nccoirits
showing a slight or e.vteiisivo deficit ns
the case may be. Tho matter has been
referred to Attorney General Cassidy
for advisement, nnd a circular of in
struction to tho various institutions in
terested will ho Issuod in a few days.
Tho content of tho circular directs at
tention to tho repeated overdrawing of
accounts nnd characterizes tho samo as
not only coudiicivo to irregular and had
housekeeping but ns tho violation of n
priiieiplo no business firm or successful
establishment would permit. Tho in
stitutions nro informed in plain words
that monoy cannot bo drawn until duo
and will not bo pild until duo. Whilst
the stato s willing and ever ready to
deal reasonably nnd fairly with tho ap
peals for aid from institutions over
which it has contro', the circular states
it is not intended that appropriations
shall bu drawn beyond the sum appro
priated by tho legislature, in anticipa
tion of tho deficit being made good .by
a special grant of money on future ap"
plication. Tho circular states further
that by a-careful adherence to the rule
of drawing moneys only as thoy becomo
duo tho institutions affected will ho no
better off than thoy arc under their
present practices. As far as known
twenty institutions have steadily figur
ed among the deficits for years. The
Western House of Hefugo at Allegheny,
and House of Ucfuge, Philadelphia,
aro down on the official black list as
leading in the business. It is thought
that the saving to tho stato will amount
to upwards of half a million dollars.
Ex.
The Eesponsibility.
Tho result of last fall's elections was
notico of the clearest and most emphat
ic sort to tho republican party that tho
fearful burden of federal taxation un
der which the industry and business of
tho country aro staggering must bo nl
leviated. When congress assembled
there was promise that tho popular
warning would be heeded. The tariff
commission made its report and pre
sented a bill which purported to reduce
tho duties on imports, Mr. Kelley,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, renewed his pledge of tho pre
vious session that tho internal taxes
would bo largely reduced, nnd tho pres
ident and his secretary of tho treasury
botli recommend a reduction of tho tar
iff and the internal revenues. But thus
far tho republicans in congress have
kept the word of promise to the ear to
break it to the hope.
A bill repealing tho unnecessary aud
burdensome internal taxes might havo
been passed ere this had the republican
majority in tho two houses of congress
bo willed it. No difficulty was experi
enced by tho republicans of tho senate
in ousting Mr. Bayard from the presi
dency in controlling tho committees of
that body. The lash of the caucus
was freely and successfully applied
when tho political control of the senate
was to bo secured. But when tho prop
osition to relievo tho country of onerous
taxes was presented there was no party
discipline and the republican majority
became utterly impotent to fulfill its
pledges to tho people. Tho same may
bo said with equal tiuth of the house.
Tho republicans in that branch never
tailed to muster sufhcient force to dis
possess an honestly elected democrat of
his seat or to make an arbitrary. change
in tho rules, or to pass such political
bills as they desired. When however
an tffoit was mado to legislato on tho
tariff or the internal levenuo tho repub
liean Samson found himself shorn of
his locks, with his eyes bored out of
their sockets, aud ready in his blind
rago to pull down tho economic teniplo
even at tho risk of crushing tho "infant
industries."
Tho tariff commission was the crea
tion of a republican congress. Its bill
embodied tho protective ideas of the re
publican party. It was prepared by
tho very manufacturers who have been
in tho lobby at Washington since tho
beginning of tho session urging tho
passage of a highly. protective tariff.
Wliv lias tho republican congress failed
to take theso manufacturers at their
word 1 Why has it rejected tho work
of its own offspring? Thero can bo
but ono answer : liccauuo tho republi
can party has no faith in its own pro.
fessions in regard to tho tariff and tax
ation. It is divided in sentiment, dis
tracted in its counsels aud demoralized
as to its action, on nil economic ques
tions. Mho treo is judged by its J nut.
The republican party has bourgeoned
and bloomed with promises on tho sub
ject of tav reduction but in its rotten
ripeness it produces only apples of Sod
om bitter with tho ashes of disappoint
ment. It nml ft alone is responsible for
the failuro of overy effort to lift tho
load of federal taxation from tho shoul
ders of tho people. Patriot,

Moro Suggestions from dor, FiUtlsou,
It is staled on good utithority that
Governor Pattison will cro long send u
special meesngo to tho legislature re
commending nn investigation of tho
conduct of tlio tax case of tho state
ngalnst tlio Standard Oil Company.
The message will Include the corres
pondence between tho governor nnd tho
nuditor general relnllvo to tho employ
ment of counsel nnd ngents to assist tlio
attorney general in tho prosecution of
claims. The governor thinks tho at
torney general should in person seo to
the collection of claims, nnd will recom
mend tho repeal of the act of 180 1, tho
employment of counsel nud agents to
assist that officer in tho prosecution of
such cases. Tho governor has given a
great deal of nttcntion to tlm question
of taxation, nnd meditates a suggestion
to tho legislature that real cstato pays
more tax in proportion than personalty
nnd that some legislation should bo had
which would equalizo this disparity be
tween tlio two classes of property.
There evidently nro stirring times nlicad
for the legislature.

Mt. Pleasant, Feii. 15, 1883.
Tlio schools of Mt. Pleasant townslilp
met nt Kitchen's church to hold their
annual Township Institute.
Tho Institute was called to order by tho
Comity Superintendent J. S. Grimes,
The opening exercises consisted of sing
ing by Kitchen's school nnd tho repenting
of tho Lord's Prayer lu concert.
Tho exercises for the day consisted of es
says, recitations, dialogues, motion songs
nnd music. Also contests in reading,
spelling and accuracy nml dispatch in num
ber. Six of the seven schools were repre
sented. Three pupils were chosen from each
school as contestants and committees of
three were appointed by the superintendent
to decide the contests.
The committees made the following re
ports: In reading, Kitchen's school ns a
school did tho best, but thero was one
representative from each of the other
schools did ns well. In spelling Kitchen's
school stood first.
In accuracy nnd dispatch In number the
superintendent decided that one of the pu
pils from Hnrtscl's school did the best.
The following topic was given for gen
eral discussion i "The needed Improve
ments in our Public Schools."
Sylvester Kitchen stated that higher sal
aries was one of tho great needs In Mt.
Pleasant township. If people expect nn
average teacher they must pay an average
price. The teachers of this townslilp re
ceive five or six dollars less than the aver
age salary throughout the county. He also
said that Jit. Pleasant was receiving more
from Its teachers than it vis paying for.
Several of its teachers arc teaching their
first terms and are doing good work. It
will bo Impossible to hold these teachers
another year unless the salary is raised.
Good teachers, like every ono else, will go
where they can got the most money.
L. P. Kline said that ono of the great
needs was a more active interest shown by
directors nnd parents. They should visit
the schools moro frequently converse with
the teacher nnd thus give aid and encour
agement. A deeper Interest would then be
felt by every one and much good would bo
tho result.
The superintendent then gave ndvico to
parents in regard to furnishing all ncccssnry
books for their children j not only text
books but reference books of all kinds es
pecially encyclopedias.

observant consumer of tho Royal Baking Powder knows hy practical c.ipeikiice, that, ihllo I'
costs a few cents per pound more than tho ordlinry kinds, It is far mine, economical, r.nd,
