Democratic State Chairman Dallas Sanders has issued tho following call A meeting of the Stato committee, pursuant to adiournment, will bo hold at Harrisburg on Wednesday, May 11, at 12 o'clock, noon, at tho Bolton Houso, to fix the time of meeting of tho next State Convention, to act on tho report of tho committee recommend ins a uniform plan for making Senat orial and Congressional nominations to receive tho reports of tho county or ganizations and to transact such other business as may be brought before tho committee.

Nebraska has furnished an illustra tion of the practical valno of Arbor day, In that State of great prairies on tho first of its Arbor days, fifteen years ago lSJ.UUO.UUU sbootB were planted j now tho United States Forestry Commission reports that there are fine groves grow ing 300 miles west of tho Mississippi, and that 605,000,000 trees aro thriving where a few years ago nono could bo seen save along tho streams. Tho ob servanoe of tree planting is a sort of education to many children, who thus learn the names and characteristics of trees ; and above all, it has an ceo noraio importance in clothing waste places with valuable timber. There's no doabt about it, Arbor day is a good institution. Jix. The sensationalist who started the story that President Cleveland had de cided to decline a renomination next year, has done a good service for both the President and the conntry. He precipitated a general discussion of the question oi uievoianas re-eieciiuu iu every State and Territory of the Union and that discussion developed every special ebment of strength and weak ness of the administration. It also led to a very free discussion of the business situation under President Cleveland and tho general faith in bis conservative policy. It was a sudden taking account of political stock, so to speak, of both parties and all protnin ent candidates, In which Cleveland figures greatly to tho advautage of both himself and his party. Times. Superintendent Grimes, The reelection of J. S. Qrimes to tho office of connty superintendent on Tues day afternoon by the school directors ot Columbia county gives general sat isfaction to the public. It was a well deserved mark of confidence and esteem in and for the character and qualifica tions of a faithful and hard working official. Mr. Grimes has raised tho standard of teachers and sohools during the past six years and bo is better qualt nod to carry on the good work now than over before. We congratulate him upon bis success, and we commend liis wisdom in not allowing himself to be drawn into a personal newspaper campaign during the progress of tho oanvass. An Elastio Law. If lor no other reason than to assure somo uniformity in the construction of the law, the bill to regulate the grant ing of licenses now pending in tho legislature, or some similar measure, should havo a place on the btatuto books The law now in force has always been open to many constructions, but nuver before this spring havo tho courts tak en so many different views of what it prescribes. In Huntingdon county, for instance, the associate judges construed the law to give them the authority to refuse every application lor ncenso it thoy chose, no matter what the desires of the community might bo in the matter and they consequently overruled Judgo .burst, the president judges opinion that certain licenses must be granted under the law and threw all license ap plications out of court, creating practi cally a prohibition county. Judge White, ot the Indiana distnot, also con BtrueB tho law according to tho dictates of bis conscience, as he puts it, and will grant no accuses tins spring. In many other districts tho judges uso the law on the local option principle. and grant license if a majority of the people seem to uesiro Hocuses by sign ing applications. If a majority remon straic against license then nono are granted. In Lycoming county Judgo uummin inquires simply whether the applicant has complied with tho law and if ho has his license is granted, ir respective of Bigners for or against it, A majority of tho judges reoognizo the names of women on remonstrances as of legal force, while others will pay no attention to tho signatures of women, declaring that if they aro recoguized it is practically a recognition of female suffrage, which has no existence under tho laws of this state In the Luzerne district Judgo Wood ward grants every liconse that is ap plied for, against which no remon strance is made, holding that the law gives him no option in tho matter, That is tho view taken of it by Judge Bucher, of tho Milllin district, and ho does not permit himself to bo influenced by remonstrances or tho moral phase ot tho liquor question, lie grams tho lioenso ot every applicant who complies with the law. With so much difference of opinion as to tho moaning of tho old licenso law great confusion has crept into tho various judicial districts in applying the exciso measure. There surely should be an improvement somewhere in the law governing so important a factor in tho political and social cop. dltlon of the stato as the liquor traffic, J A Dofonder of tho Ilomostomi. President Cleveland, in his rcocnt letter of instruction to the Secretary of tho Iutorlor, serves notlco on tho land grant corporations that although thoy may want tho cartn and tno lamcss thorcof, thoy shall have in futnro no rnoro of it than thoy aio legally entitled to. In other words, land enough for five or six Commonwealths tho sizo of Pennsylvania will not bo longer with drawn from settlement becauso two or threo railway corporations think thoy may in future bo entitled to a small fraction of it under tho terms of their original grants. Tho case whloh called out this signifi cant letter was ono of pcoullar hardship. A settler named Uuiltord Miller took up a homestead and proceeded to im provo it, tho land being fifty miles from tho lino of the Northern Pacifio Road. Tho grant to tho road oxtonded only lorty miles on cither smo and Miner very naturally supposed ho was out sido of tho limits of any possible rail way claims. But tho Northern Pacifio officials induced tho government to withdraw from settlement another bolt twenty miles in widtii, from which thoy might, when they got good and ready, select land enough to mako up any do- hcienoy causod by settlements in tho forty mile grant prior to tho act of Congress ceding it to tho company, Miller s iarra was in tins twenty mile belt and tho railway company demand ed that his homestead entry should bo canceled. Commissioner Sparks de cided in favor of Miller. An appeal was taken and Attornoy UenerM liar- land sustained the claim of tho railway, President Cleveland at this point thrusts in his oar and not only orders Secretary Lamar to sustain Miller in the possession of his homestead, but gives nouco mat. inu pruouou in wiiti holding millions of acres of these so called indemnity lands from settlement must bo abandoned. In plain English this means that in future homestead settlers aro to have somo rights which land grant railroads must respect. This is President Clove- land's position, and as ho has a good deal of lntluonce with this administra tion it may bo takon for granted that bis views will be carried out during the nearly two years he will remain in other. It was high time a retorm in the Land Office was inaugurated. Near ly two years ago so notable a Republi can as Elihu B. Washburna declared that it had been for tho last fifteen or twenty years the most corrupt depart ment that ever existed in any govern ment on tho lace ot tho earth. The lands aro needed for actual settlers and there is no sense- in holding th.'in in definately away from tho publio just to allow tho railways, at their leisure, to select the choicest of them. T'imes. The Approach of Cholera, Tho report that cholera had broken out at Guaymas and Mazatlan, on tho eastern shore of the Gulf of California, is ostentatiously denied by Mexican officials, and if the denial is not denied in a day or two it may bo taken for granted that present danger from this Bourco ia not to be apprehended. There is nothing improbable in tho appear ance of cholera on tho west coast of Mexico. It is raging in Bolivia, South western Brazil and Chili. Columbia has established a strict quarantine against vessels coming from Chili, and it would bo quite possible for the dis ease to be carried by Panama and ap pear on the western coast of Mexico in advance of its appearance in Central America. The cities of Mazatlan and Guay mas aro plaguo spots and es pecially liable to an outbreak of this fatal epidemic. Guaymas is about throo hundred miles south of tho northern lino of Mexico and is con nected with Nogales, Arizona, by the Sonora Railroad. It is a email city with harbor nearly land-locked, is very hot and without any drainage. It communicates 'jy steamers and other vessels with tho Paoifio ports of Cen tral and Soutli America. Mazatlan lies four hundred and fifty miles farther to the south than Guaymas. It is hard ly over free from yellow fever and other epederoio diseases and seems to havo no sanitary regulations at all. If cholera wero brought to either of these ports it would bo almost certain of dis tribution by rail and otherwise to Cali fornia, Arizona, Utah and New Mexi co. In view of theso possibilities it win be the part of wisdom to take the denials of tho existcnoe of tho disoaso at these cities by interested Mexican officials with some margin of allowanco and establish a rigid quarantine against them until the truth or falsity of the report be established beyond dispute And while they ore about it the United States health officials, as well as the municipal quarantine authorities at all our Atlantic and Gulf ports, should be very vigilant during the re mainder of the present season. Cholera has crossed tho Atlantic, and it is much more easily distributed by land and short water routes then across the main ocean. It can only be kept at bay by the most rigid and effective quarantine regulations. It is not worth while to get in a panic because cholera is rag lug in South America, but it is worth while lo guard against any occasion for a panic by leaving no stone unturn ed to prevent its importation into tho seaport and inland cities of tho United States. Times. WA8HIHGT0N LETTEB From our Itegular Correspondent.) AVashinotosi, D. 0 May 2nd, 1887, The beautiful Capital of tbo United States is beginning to bloom cow and in one week more it will be in all its glory of vernal attire. It is well that it docs, for a good representation of tho Nation will bo here during tho next lew weeiss, ana tne city wants to look its loveliest. Tho Btrcets are being swept, tho lawns trimmed, the fount ains sparklo in tho sunshine, and the parterres begin to blazo with nature's brightest hues. Washington will bo nothing if not lively during the month of May. Tho Grand Encampment of tho Salvation Army opened the din on tho 1st. Then ratti took up tho strain with admission feo to tho Grand Stand ranging from ton dollars upward. Almost simultan eously tho flyers of tho Jockey Club and Foropaugh's Cirous will make no end to homo runs at tho race track nud athletic park respectively, and about tho timo theso rackets weary an enter tainment will bo iu ordor, whioh, for tunately for pockets, is free to all. This will bs the dedication of the Garfield statue by tho Array of the Cumberland, with procession, music, and an oration bjr tho lato Speaker Keifer, who by special permission of the High Custodian of political corpses has been resuscitated for this occasion only, for a period not to execod twenty minutes. Then there will bo side shows in abundance, League champion ship giuies, conventions, reimionp, a visit from the Quoeii of t'-o Sandwioh Islands and from a hundred to two thousand American sovereigns, and then will oomo tho crowning ovont of thn season, tho long oxpectod National Drill, lasting for in Jro than n week mid culminating in a grand final pageant on Decoration day. Tho work of fenoing in tho Drill field is going on nnd everything will bo in readiness in duo time ine enoios uro is 1.050 feet in diameter, and tho grand stand will bo so arrangod ns to ouablo spectators to soo mo enuro uem and all tho performances. For tho oamp, 750 tentfl hovo been engaged and somo of tho visiting companies will bring their own tentc At ono extrem ity of tho Drill ground a panorama of tho famous battlo between the Merri mao and Monitor in Hampton Roads will bo erected, whioh will bo a very reallstlo exhibition of this encountor. It will bo in full viow of the grand stand, nnd will form ono of tho attrac tions caoh night. General Augur has been appointed to tho command of tho National Drill camp. Ho is a fino, soldierly looking officer, who lives quietly with his fam ily in Georgetown. It was expected that a man of national reputation would bo appointed to this position, for tho reason that it is a national affair, crowds of American citizens nro com ing from all parts of tho country, and it was supposed that all tho arrange ments would bo as national as possible in character. Still it was no easy matter to find just suoh a commandant 'who had sufficient leisure to givo tho matter tho necessnry attention at this time. Gen. Auger being on tho re tired list, can devote himself exclusive ly to his duties, and it is thought, will provo satisfactory in other ways. Ho was very much gratified by tho honor conferred upon him. At present it seems as it all that will bo necessary to mako tho event successful in every particular is that those who furnish the weather for us will suppress everything akin to tho boastly articlo that was in flicted here at tho same time last year. The Garfield statue whiuh is to be unveiled with imposing ceremonies cost $65,000, of which $30,000 was appropriated by Congress for tho ped estal, and the other $35,000 was raised by his comrades of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland. It stands in a circle at the foot of Capitol Hill, southwesterly from tho Capitol, and is a pedestrian figure of heroic sizo. It represents Garfield in a graceful atti tude, with ono hand holding a manu script, as if he were addressing the neoDle. and tho other resting on a book supported by a column, while his top coat is thrown back, giving tho fig ure a lifelike appoaranco. The figure is ot course concealed from publio view by a winding sheet of black cambric, but it was undraped for a few minutes to bo photographed, nnd aain rcdrap ed, so to remain until tbo formal un veiling on the twelfth inst Tho inscription on the pedestal has been criticised because it reters to war field as "Senator" and also "Member of Congress.'' Ho was never in faot a Senator but onlv a Senator-elect, and strictly speaking there is no such thing as a "member of Congress" but only senators ana nepresemauvus iu Congress. The Mollis Maguires. THK LAST TWO OK THE FAMOUS CONVICTS Oil ANTED THEIR PARDONS. The Pardon Board has approved the applications for pardon of Michael O'Brien and Christopher Donnelly, familiarly known as "tho last of the Mollie Maguires." Twenty ono were banged, many served various terms of imprisonment and a large number ilea the country when tho murderous con sniracv was extiosed. O'Brien and Donnelly were sentenced in 1876 to fourteen years oich in the Schuylkill County Prison for complicity in the murder ot Uomer James, atobenadoan and the attempted murder of tho Major brothers and William Thomas, atMaba- noy City. Commutation deducted, their sentences would have expired in Juno next, unless it should have been held that the two sentences imposed upon oaoh did not merge, in which case they ould havo somo two years long er to serve. Their liberation will oom pleto tho dark chapter of Mollio Ma guire crime and expiation. Oar Heating. It is gratifying to notico that some progress is made every week in the work of substituting steam for stoves in rauroaa cars, r or ten aays a train heated by steam was run between St. Albans and White River Juuotion. Vt, the round trip covering two hundred and forty-two miles. The working of the system in use on this train has been inspected by the Vermont Railro'ad Commissioners and many practical railroad men, and all of these, as well as tho officers of the road, nro satisfied that the problem has been solved. In this section heat is furnished by steam that would otherwise bo wasted. The terrible accident at White River oo cured ou the road over which this train runs, and many lives would havo been saved if the tram wrecked last winter bad been heated in the samo way, Accidents will happen, but somo of the worst horrors attendant upon our rail road casualties will be things of the past when the stoves are no more. Our Wealthy Men. Much has been said In newspapers of men who have made largo fortunes in comparatively u fow years in various business industries. Many of these articles are wxitlen by correspondents of prominent newspapers, and copied into oinors oi lesser uoto. uorrespon dents generally aro seldom men of busi ness qualifications and wrongfully pic ture theso men and their business as f thing of accident ; this is not the caso with those wo havo met. Wo find that whore men have made large fortunes by their own business talent and in dustry they choso with sagaoity and forethought suoh businesses as would lead to suocess when handled with busi ness judgment. No man has been brought before the publio as nn example ui success, uowi in weanu anu magni tudo of his business (outside of stock and railroad men) moro prominently than Dr. G. G, Green of Wood bur v. N. J. He is at tho head of many largo business industries, and yet compara tively a young man. When tho fact that August Flower, for dyspepsia and liver complaint and Boscheos German Syrup, for coughs and lung troubles, has grown to a wonderful sale in all parts of the world, it proves that it was not an accident or spontaneous striko at weaiui. jus medicines are recog nized as valuable and established reme dies and the business has grown grad ually and permanently during tho last eighteen years on account not alone of ut. ureeu a abilities as n business man nor his "good luck," but on tho actual merits of the two preparations.

A terrible accident occurred Wednes day afternoon at Tunnel Colliery, Ash land, operated by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co., by whioh five men were killed, leaving four widows and 17 orphans. Owing to an anticipated "run" of the "pillars' the west gangway had not been working for a couple of weeks. For the same ressin only experienced miners wore working or tho mortality would have beon far greater. Notwithstanding all possible circumspection the apprehended "run" occurred at about 1 o'clock, bringing down with the coal a volume of deadly gas by which the five human victims together with six mules were suffocat ed. Tho acoident was not discovered until some two hours later and when tho air of the fatal gangway had been purifiod to admit of reaching the vic tims they were all found dead. Their names are, Fire Boss Henry Gill, mar ried and five children ; Henry Morrow, marriedj no children ; Michael Bohon non, married, two children ; Daniel Finn, married, ten children, all of Ash land, and Ebenezer Frances, single, of Girardville.

So many people associate our Calsom finish with it white wash, as an article to be thought of only as suitable lor the kitchen or some out of the way room where anything will do, that we want to take space this Aveek to better explain its merits. In tho first place it is not a white wash or a wash of any color, it is a cement which dries and hardens and becomes a part of the wall on which it is applied, does not crack, or peel, or rub oil, it comes m a variety oi colors and can be applied over wood, wall paper or any hard wall, and makes as handsome a finish as any wall paper at less than bait tbo expense: it is used on the finest parlors, halls and stores; if you do not want to go to the expense of getting a painter or kalsomincr to put it on, get a good brush and you cart do it yourself. A good ar ticle is always imitated and we caution parties against buying any article which is represented as just as good; see that the name "Moore's Calsom Finish," and directions in English and Grerman, are on the package. If your merchant does not keep it send to us. If a man has a poor pocket knife he will get rid of it some how, but will sit around and watch his wife hack away with an old pair of shears as if it was a matter of course, and when he does buy her a pair t;enerally looks the case over and selects something low priced; there are again others who have really tried to get a good article and failed. For the benefit of peo ple who aro willing to pay the price ot a good article we have added a full line of the cele brated "Heinisch" shears, they are not so very high priced and aro worth every time all they cost, there is no "throwing away money" buying them. We are opening up more fish ing tackle again this week. It s astonishing what nice things there are in this line, and for so little money. We have almost everything, from the best to the cheapest. J.
