was a republican meastiro and nearly
all republican1 voted for it- Repre
sentatives lox and Arickuauin yoteu
against tbo bill.
Senator Gobiu, of Lebauon, who l
a republican, said that tho passage of
tho Judges' bill was the most infamous
piece of legislation over enacted by tbo
Pennsylvania legislature, and that if bo
wero a democrat ho would want noth
ing better nor stronger to secure tho
defeat of tho republican party this fall.
Tho Houao at Us scision Tuosday

James R. Young, tho Washington
correspondent of tho Philadelphia
Evening Star, has the following
strong sentences regarding tho effects
of intemperance. Years of residence
in Washington havo given him unua
ual opportunities to observe tho facts
on whioh his statements are based :
"In tho almost a quarter of a con
tury I have been out in the world plod
ding my way I have seen many splen
did fellows, some of them near and
dear friends, fall by tho wayside, van
ish from existence, the victims of tho
cursed habit of drink. I have seen
rioh men become poor ; men of fine in
tellect become inmates of the insane
asylum; refined and accomplished men
rcduoed to wearing tags, taken to tho
police court and sent to tho work'
house all arising from tho liquor ha
bit. I havo set n liquor turn men ot
genial and sunny temperaments into
being brutes, blackguards of the worst
ordor. 1 have seen reuneci and sensa
tive women, driven by the last extre
mity of poverty brought on them by
the liquor habit of their husbauds,
compelled to go out into tho world to
oak from their friends aid for them
selves and children. I could write
page after page of personal experiences
on the subject.
NEGLIGEH0E SOME WHERE
SIX HUNDRED DOU-Ar.S ROAD DAMAOKS
00 BY DEFAULT.
On Monday morning Judge Ikeler
read an opinion in court iu tbo matter
of tho road in Benton township near
J. J Karns. On February 10, 1888 a
petition was filed asking for tho ap
pointment of viewers of a road to begin
in a publio road in Benton and to end
at tfio Fair Ground gates. Viewers
were appointed and all tho proceedings
went on rogularly and tbo viewers
awarded Dr. Oolley 8210, and tho heirs
of R. L. F. Colley $100. Ezra Steph-
ens, one of the commissioners was
present at the view. Sept 24, 1888 the
report was confirmed. December 29
an order to open was issued, and the
supervisors opened tbo road to publio
use. whereupon the Uollevs demanded
their money, and then it was that tbo
county commissioners awoko to the
situation, and consulted their attorney,
who obtained a rule to show cause
why tho confirmation should not bo
stricken off and all proceedings set
aside. It was in this matter that the
opinion was filed. Tho court says:
"Upon careful examination of the
facts shown' by the depositions aud
records in this case, we are constrained
to sav that ills one of a number of road
cases, and by fat too great a number,
where the county has been made to
succumb to gross imposition and pri
vate cam of land owners who desire
road laid out nnd opened so that it will
bo larcelv beneficial and convenient to
themselves, making their adjoining
lands moro saleable and valuable, and
vet thev seem to have such influence
and control over tho proceedings as to
get enormous and. unreasonable daraa
ees in proportion to the land taken
and tho advantages derived, and thu
the county made to suffer paymont
thereof. ,
I this case then depositions, surveys
nnd plot of lauds of It. L. 'F. Colley
show that, tho Colds and farm land
not built upon, surrounding and adjoin
ing this road, wero run off and cut in
to thirtv bui dine lots by tbo owner:
and the identical ground over which
this road was laid, thirty feot wldo and
for whioh 8400.00 damages is olairoed
nnd allowed for 37 rods of land was
run off by It. L. F. Colley, tho owner.
In bis lifetime 04 foot wide.
His son Greelv Colley. another land
owner, also claiming and allowed $210
damages for 13 rods of land, is a primo
mover in tuo proceeuings, geimig w
order from tho clerk and placing it in
lmnds of sunorvisors. to havo tho road
nnnnfd and thoreupon demanding his
d&maacs from tho County Treasury,
To nrevent excessive and uureasona-
liln Anmaaea being thus obtained and
recovered from the County, His Honor
Judgo Elwell, made tho oautionary
and.judicious order, that iu all cases
of road views at least one of tho Ooun
iv Corainiuei'norB, should havo from
tho viewer, no less than five days pre
vious notice.
It seems that in this case Xlio- ro
nntinn iLramrdlnorto tho rule was
given and ono of tho County Commiss
ionert wu present at tho view, and all
proceedings wero allowed to go on
without cavil or objection until alter
tho road had been opened and demand
mado by holrs of 11. L. F. Colley and
Grooly Colloy upon the County Com
missioners for an order upon tho
County Treasurer in paymont of their
damages for tho land taken and appro
priated by the laying out of said road.

vising with their attorney, oimo their
petition upon whioh this rule issuod
and which wo would llko to mako ab

commissioners had been diligent in
their duty and taken an nppoal, that
thoso oxecssivo damages would havo
been out down greatly, or not award

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From oar uegular Correspondent.!
Washingtbn, May 6, 1889
Ex-President Cleveland's oolebratcd
seal brown carriage horsos together
with his carriages, harness etc wero
sold to-day at auotibn. When Mr,
Cleveland left here he had not dcoided
whether ho would sell them or carry
them to New York. Tho prices real
ized woro satisfactory.
Tho Pacific coast has oapttired tho
biggest thing yet given out by thu
present administration. It is too con
tract to build tho mammoth armored
coast defonso vessel that was provided
for by tho last Congress, whioh has
been awarded by tho Navy Depart
ment to tho Union iron works of San
Francisoo. Ex-Secretary Whitney is
entitled to tho credit of having made
it possible to build such a vessel on tho
Paoifio ooast by the recognition he
gave to tho enterprise of the California
capitalists that established this plant
tor the building ot iron and steel ves
sels. The price of the new vessel is to
bo Sl,928,000.
"When the oat away tho mice will
play." John Sborman has gone to
Europo end the Forakor wing of the
republican party oi Ohio, with Foraker
at tbo head, ha. swooped down on
Washington to see what Harrison can
be coaxed or bull-dozed into giving
them. John Sherman has by bis
solfishness committed politioal suioido.
Ho got two or thrco offices for his
own personal favorites but ho has
made enemies of the entire Ohio Con
grossional delegation thereby. Repre
sentatives Butterworth and McKinley
havo long been able lieutenants of
Sherman's but now they train with tbo
Foraker crowd, with whom they havo
mado a league, offensive and defensive;
and unless the Bigns are greatly at fault
John Sherman 1b now serving his last
term in the Senate.
The United States officials that went
into the land-grabbing business in
Oklahoma have been called upon to
explain their aotions to the Interior
Department.
Ex-Senator Mahone is Btill here.
Ho made another piteous appeal to
Harrison last week and as a result ho
was allowed to name the United States
District Attorney for the eastern dis
trict of Virginia. There was auito
howl from the anti Mahone Virginia
republicans. l.et em bowl.
.Among the lew appointments that
Haarison has found time to make since
his return from the New York celebra
tion was that of his brother, Carter B
Harrison, to bo United States Marshall
for the middle district of Tennessee.
If Mr. Cleveland had appointed- his
brother to a position every republican
editor in the country would have roar
ed for months, but they will discreetly
overlooK this little bit or nepotism.
Verily it does make a difference whose
ox is gored.
Army oourts seem to have rather
queer ideas in regard to making the
"punishment ht tho crime.
Mai. liVdeuKoi, who was the engi-
neer in charge ot the Washington
. T - . . w . .
aqueduot tunnel has been found guilty
by a court martial on seyeral counts of
having neglected his duty as an official
etc Aud tho said neglect has cost a
million dollars that have been spent on
tho tunnel whioh has now been aban
doned. Pretty serious crime one
would think and deserving of severe
punishment. What does the Court
Martial sav! That Maior Lvdtoker
shall bo fined $100, per month for nine
months and be reprimanded in general
orders, would anything bo more
ludicrous. An officer by neglect and
carelessness sacrifices $1,000,000 and
deprives a city of 'a muoh needed in
creaso of water supply, and is fined
$U00 therefor. Header perhaps you
may wonder why this sentence was
made so light. It can be answered in
two words, social inuaonco which is
tbo strongest of all powers in Washing
ton.
Senator Gorman it is generally
thought will suoceed the late W. H.
Barnum as chairman of tho democratic
national committee.
Republican office seekers say that
President Harrison has as much
trouble to arrive at a definito decision
as to making an appointment as did
the hungry ass that fable says starved
to death between two bundles of hay
becauso he could not decide whioh to
co to.
According to Senator Iogalls, Presi
dent Harrison will call an extra session
of Congress to meet early in October
in order to get the Jioa 10 organized
and in working order before tho
Christmas recess, lngalls speaks as
though the matter had been definitely
settled by tho l'resident.

A retrospective glance at tho work
dono and left undono by tho llepubli
can legislature of 1880 must bring
about tho conclusion that tl e great
mass of peoplo of the state will not
shed tears of rogret that the session is
drawing to a close. Although the
grand old party, for instauoj, claims to
bo the tried and true menu ot tho
worklngman, it is safe to Bay that
never in tho history of tbo common
wealth has tho interest of labor recti v od
as many blows as wero dealt it by tho
representatives who will take their

They have put tbomselves on record

Frederick T. Romkrts, M. D.,

pital, "London, Eng., says: Bright's
Disease has no symptoms of its own,
nnd may long exist without the knowl
edge ol the patient or practitioner, us
no nam will be felt m tho kidneys or
that vicinity." This accounts for
many pooplo dying with Bright's
Disease, or advauccd kidney malady.
The disease is not suspected until it
reaches tho fatal period. If Warner's
Safe Cure is used nt tho proper time,
the fatality from that disease would be
greatly decreased. Dr. Thompson also
Bays: "More adults aro carried off in
this country by chronic kidney disease
than by any ono malady except con
sumption."
Look Out For a Big Storm
The Weather Bureau at Washington
predicts that a large and vigorou
storm, at present centering in the West,
is coming East. "It will be a heavy
Spring storm," said Sergt. Dunn, "and
comes direotly from the west where it
covers an enormous area. Its prelimin
aries will bo warm and humid weather,
followed by a rapidly falling barometer
and gaios from tho east to southeast.
It will be tho worst storm we have
had for somo time. Its force is at
present working in tbo west, but the
cltects will booh be felt here. West
ern barometers in somo localities have
fallen as low as 28.90 degrees. An
odd feature of the storm is the unusual
ly high temperature attending 'it. In
Montana tho temperature was 70 de
grees. Hail and winds that at times
attain a velocity of fifty miles an hour
are coming with the storm." The
Washington bureau will order tho
coast signals to be displayed at the
GrsL fall of the barometer.

Salt Rheum
The agonies ot those who suffer from severe
salt rheum are Indescribable, The cleansing,
healing, purifying Influences of Hood's Sana
parllla are unequalled by any other medicine.
"I take pleasure In recommending Hood's
Sarsaparllla, for It has done wonders for me,
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me
over uearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease In its wont
form can imagine the extent of my affliction,
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Barsaparllla,
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the dlstase. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health Is
greatly benefited." I.vjun Au.ek, Sexton
K, E. Church, North Chicago, 111.
"Myon had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. He took Hood's Sar
saparllla and Is entirely cured." J, B. Stan
ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio,
From 108 to 135
"I was seriously troubled with salt rheum
for three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood's
Sarsaparllla. I am now entirely cured of salt
rheum my weight has lucreased from IDS lbs,

other troubles caused by a torpid liver
