ident at tho Chicago uonvontion in
1880 havo at last been distributed.
Thoy arc bronzo with a portrait of
Grant on uno side ami an inscription

originated with Channecy I. Filloy,
then tho postmaster cf St. Louis, Mo.,
and as soon as thoy were finished tho
allotment for tho Pennsylvania ctnl.
warts was forwarded to Senator J. 1)
Cameron at Washington. At that timo
tho independent revolt was in full blast,
and it was not Don Cameron's cuo to
distribute these memorials and thus
render their recipients maikcd men for
tho campaign Accordingly, his bad
health was mado a pretext for delaying
the delivery until now. David Clonal
who now languishes in a Philadelphia
prison is ono or tho notorious 300.
THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.
The Agnow Prohibition Amendment
has boon defeated in tho House. Tho
amendment as originally introduced
prohibited the liMuufacturc and sale of
intoxicating liquor, but it was amended
in tho IIouso by a compensation clause
providing that all liquors left on tho
hands of dealers and manufacturers at
the timo tho law should go into effect
should bo naid for by the State, and it
was this clauso that killed tho bill, by
a vote of 131 to 27.
Another Veto from the Governor.
Governor Pattison has vetoed tho bill
to equalise taxation for school purposes
only in independent districts formed
from parts ot one or more than ono
county. His reasons are that tho terms
arc local and special; it affects but a
few sohool districts in tho state; it cre
ates now boards of county commission
ers; it creates a new system of auditing
school board oilicers; it creates nuw of
ficers, and tho title dom not express the
purpose of tho bill. Tho house sustain
ed tho veto by u volo of 102 to 9.
A Circuit Court of Appeals.
Senator 'Wolvcrlon reported allirma
tively a bill establishing a Circuit Court
of Appeals, consisting of five Judges, to
be elected next fall, each voter to have
the privilege of voting for throe. Two
of them are to hold olliee for livo years
and three for ten yoars. Tho non par
tisan character of tho bench is to be
preserved in the usual manner as in the
election of County Commissioners. Tho
salary is i?3,000 a year. Tho court will
havo appellate jurisdiction in cases to
tho amount of $1,000 on appeal by
certiorari from tho Common Pleas, ex
cept in cases in equity, and in casts of
general jail delivery, except in cases of
felonious assault, but shall not havo
jurisdiction on Constitutional questions.
Its decisions shall be final wheu tho
bench is unanimoiH, unless three of tho
Judges certify that tho caso should go
to tho Supremo Court. When the bench
is divided tho right of appeal lies to tho
Supremo Court. Tho court is to sit in
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, llarrisburg,
Erie, "Williamsport and Wilkesbarre.
Brady and Kellogg Indicted.
CIlAItOKI) WITH ItKOKlVINO FllTIXX
THOUSAND DOM.AltS IN llltlUI'.S.
Despite, tho protestations of Ev-Sen-ntor
Ivellogg's friends and denials as to
his complicity in Star route frauds, tho
grand jury at Washington has returned
a true bill against Hraily and Kellogg,
charging that they accepted a bribe,
amounting to 13,000, for expediting
mail service on certain routes controlled
by Contractor Price. Tho document
was a lengthy one and detailed tho con
nection of Brady with tho Post Ollico
Department, and in live counts it was
slated that the Second Assistant Post
master General and Senator Kellogg on
five occasions received 1,500 apiece
for favors shown Price on his routes.
Considerable surprise was created in
tho court room when tho grand jury
made this announcement, and 15rady
was observed to bo somewhat nervous
at tho unfavorable consideration shown
him in tho report of the foreman. It
has been asserted that this indictment
would not bo permitted to leave- the
jury room, and tho result was a surprise
in somo quarters. There is considerable
comment indulged in on all sides rela
tivo to tho new indictments. Tho pros
pect of another four months' trial is
welcomed with derision by everybody
but tho lawyers. Should tho present
trial terminate unfavorably to the gov
ernment tho probability is that the new
indictments will never'bo tried.

The Dynamite Scare.
plots which ii vk Tiinu omniN in skw
VOltK.
Tho London Standard has an edito
rial on tho dynamite disclosure, of
which tho following is an extract: "Tim
striking disclosures in How street in ref
erence to tho dynamite consjiiracy, what
ever their ultimate value may bo'against
tho prisoners, leave little, doubt in tho
minds of llio jmblio on both sides of tho
Atlantic that tho murdoious design or
iginated in Now York nnd that tho
shield of American freedom is being
prostituted to cover tho arm of the as
sassin. It is indeed remaiknblu that tho
story ot tho plot, as far as it is yet be
fore us, does not jiresent any of the con
spirators, whether principals or tools, ns
either English or Irish by domicile, or
even, it would seem, by nationality!
"Such evidence ns .already given in
dicates that tnt only was tho conspira
cy hatched in New York, but that it
was found necessary or desirable by
conspirators to impoit from America nt
cousiueraoio exjienso all tho men who
yere to take active part in its execu
tion. Tho men who made up their
minds to bring about the freedom of
Ireland by tho sacrifice of thu . innocent
lives of all nationalities in tho heart of
London can have known little, or noth
ing but what they were told of thosup
josed tyranny of the Saxon and assnm
ed wrongs of tho Celt. The roual laws
and tho justice which leinains calm and
impartial, even in such days as these,
the generous hand in times of distress
which England has ever extended to
her weaker sister are never heard of by
the New York artisan, who clories in
his Irish descent. Tho passion of tra
ditional animosity nnd prujudco is care
fully planted and nurtured by interest
ed hands. Tho fear of tho consequences
of refusal and sometimes apparently
ine gieeu oi jieeuniary reward seem to
bo tho motives which enlist such men
in an enterprise for tho wholesale de
struction of innocent lives and tho spe
cious pretext of spurious patriotism.
"IJut tho responsibility, moral as well
as legal, which rests upon the country
in which sucn miscreants make their
lair is, we believe, already felt and np
preciated by the vast maioritv of tln
American jmblic. Great Hritaln might,
we think, well ask the United Stales
to extend their extradition law so as to
include dynamite bravos; but, in truth,
extradition is not what is more especial
ly needed in the present stato of affairs.
Tho real point is to bring within tho
reach of American iunishment those
who conspiro in Now York to commit
these outrages. There is no doubt they
can bo brought within tho English law
of treason-felony if any overt act is com
mitted in England by any of the eon
sjiirators. Hut it is American law
which can most effectively punish or
deter thoso who at present" ojienly con
coct these schemes in thu cities of tho
United States. Is it an offenic against
American law to conspiro in America
to commit murder in England? If not
it ought to bo made so."
A Thing ot Beauty,
Tho labors of tho McCrtickon appor
tionment committee must havo been se
vere indeed, judging from tho elaborate
piece of gerrymandering joiuor-work it
has turned out. How the republican
majority of that committee must havo
cudgeled their brains and seared their
consciences to figure out an apportion
ment which gives tho 407,423 demo
ends who voted for General Hancock
for president ten congressional districts
and the 444, 070 republicans who voted
for General Garfield eighteen congrs
sional districts, is apparent from the
incongruous and unshapoly combina
tions of counties nnd parts of counties
nnd thu unequal distribution of pojiuln.
Hon which characterize tho apportion
niout thoy have devised.
In Philadeljihia the principal demo
cratic wards nro crowded into one dis
trict in order to jirecludo nil possibility
of tho election of more than one demo
cratic congressman in that city. Lo
high county is divided, thu principal
portion being attached to Horks and a
strip on tho eastern edge thrown in with
Northampton, Pike, Monroo and
Wayne. Tho latter district extends
over two-thirds of tho eastern width of
tho state. Tho Fifteenth district, to
consist of the counties of Bradford,
Tioga, Potter, Clinton arj Sullivan, nl
most surrounds Lycoming which latter
goes into thu Sixteenth district with
Noithuniberlind, Montour and Colum
bia, It is shaped for all the woild l'tku
ono of those stuffed elehauU some
times exhibited on tho comic stage Tho
Sixteenth has as many angles ns a trnp
ezohedron cut bias. The Seventeenth,
Hedford, Fulton, ete, begius at thu
Maryland lino nnd reaches within two
counties of Now York. It looks liko a
huge crane rrconnoitering the Susque
hanna for fish. The Eighteenth, Hlair,
Cambria nnd Somerset, may be likened
io a ureal owt on us perch. 'Hie
Tweuty.flrst, Clearfield, Clinton, Clarion
and Jefferson, extends from tho Susque
hanna to the Allegheny river, a dis
tance of nearly 150 miles, nnd resembles
the school boy gauu of "tit, tnt, toe,"
or tho diagonal squares of a checker
board. The Twenty-fourth district sop
nrntos from Allegheny county nnd nt
tnclies to Westmoreland sufficient re
jmblican territory to make a rejmblicnn
district. So much for tho shapeliness
and compactness of the districts.
Th'o distribution of population to the
several districts by thu McCrnckcn com
mittee is a marvel of inequality. Lnn
caster county with a pjpulalionof 130,
417 is madu n district; Chester nnd
Delawaio willi .139,582 constitute
another; Hlair, Cambria nnd Somerset
with 132,001 nnother; Heaver, hawreneo
nnd Mercer with 120,078 nnother, and
Armstrong. Hutler nnd Indiniii witli
140,701 are joined for tho benefit Kis
kiminetns White All of theso nro
strong re)nblican district. Now look
on t livS other side of tho picture. Horks
nnd part of Lehigh with a jKipulatlon
152,520 constitute a district ; Monroe,
Northamjiton, Pike, Wnynu nnd a jmit
Lehigh with 100,438 nnothei; Luzerno
and Carbon with 101,98f another;
Schuylkill nnd Lebanon with 108,450
another; Bucks nnd Montgomery with
105,150 another; Lycoming. Noithum
berintid, Montour nnd Columbia with
158.480 nnother, Clearfield, Centre,
Clarion and Jefferson with 140,593
another; Adam, Cumberland and York
with 100,273 another; Fayette, Greene
nnd Washington with 142,533 another;
and tho third district of Philadeljihia
with 157,874 another. These last are
democratic districts with the excejition
of Bucks nnd Montgomery nnd Leba
non and Schuylkill which maybolairly
regarded as doubtful. It will bo seen
that under this apportionment it would
require a jiopulation of 1,000,000 in
round numbers to elect 8 democrats
certain and divide two districts between
tho two jinnies, or 200,000 inhabitants
for every certain democratic congress
man, while 2.085,000 in round numbers
would elect 18 rejiublican congrefsmen,
averaging about 149,000 inhabitants to
every certain icjiublicau district. This
is i quality witli a vengeance This is
fairness with a fiddlestick. Mr. Mc
Crnckcn should go back to his indo
licndeut Lawirnon county constituents
nnd jiose just once nioro ns a reformer.

AVClt'S IIAin VlOOlt Is entirely free
from uncleanly, dangerous, or Injurious euu
inuces. It prevents tho hair from turning
ray, restores gray hair to Its original color,
prevents baldncsa, preserves tho hair and
promotes Its growth, cures dandrull and
all diseases of the hair and senlp, and Is,
at the tamo time, a very superior aud
dcslrablo dressing.

BAILEY, BANKS & BIODLE,
NO PART OF THE BUSINESS
of Ilallcy, It.tnks it Middle is con
ducted with greater pcrfoctidn of
detail or more general satisfaction
to purchasers than that of selecting
and sending goods in response to
requests by mail.
WHETHER THE ORDER IS
for costly or inexpensive articles
whether for an assortment to enable
a purchaser to decide at home which
article suits b-st, cr for something
to be shipped directly to a third
person as a present, the purchaser
relying upon the house for a good
choice the selection is invariably
made by an expert of well-tried
taste, possessing thorough knowl
edge both of the goods and the
changeful fashions.
DIRECTIONS ARE IXTELLI
gcntly followed; the least hint of
preference is carefully noted, and
in every instance the newest and
most desirable goods are sent, ex
cepting when an article not quite
so new presents such inducements
in price as to make it seem best to
inform the customer nnd await
further instructions. Fiill explana
tions are given whenever the in
terest of the customer requires them.
GOODS MAY ALWAYS ME RE
turned if not entirely satisfactory.

Three Strong Points.
Point One:
Men's Spring Overcoats; a bs stock that
take t iverythlng from tho very plain low priced to the finest,
from the lightest fancy color to the plain black, from the
smallest youths' to the largest of large men's slics. A com.
mantling stock that every light overcoat buyer muit see- if he
cares to know the market.
Point Two:
FiftCCll LillCS of Men's nus!ncs3Sult3. A little nvw
Is a powerful thing In Oak Hall. Witness tho following!
Fancy Cassimcrc Sack Suits at $8.50, nnd l!io p
goods in walking coat style, at Sy.oo. Our i n
boast on them is that they arc good for the tut n .
Manhattan Cheviots in six full lines, both nc'.t
and walking coats, at gio.oo. The buttoni at. I
trimmings of these suits arc worth special attention.
Plain Cassimcres; three varieties, in sack itylc.at
10.00. Very reliable.
Five styles of Harris Cassimerc Suits, of quiet
styles, and in both Sack and Walking Coat i, iu
f5l6.oo. The well-known reputation oft lieu j 1, 'ood.;
speak for themselves.
These fifteen lines arc not fragments pulled togcth c :
foran advertisement. They represent two Ihou.ia,
suits, and goods to make more. There is busiiiLiJ
in them.
Point Three:
Custom Made Clothing, a large display of
piece goods to order. There arc very great bargains in all the
following lines :
Class A, in any ordinary business style, $ 1 8.00
Class!, " " " " 20.00
Class C, " " " " 22.50
Class D, " " " " 25.00
Our " points " arc made short and sharp for practi
cal people.
