The Bradford Argu published at
Towanda by E. Ashman Parsons, ap
peared last week with a handsome
new heading, a new dress of type, and
a general change in its make up. It
,s most decidedly improved, and its
editor promises to infuse new life and
interest in his paper, which has always
been a well conducted Journal and
one of our most valued exchanges.
With the present political situation in
Bradford county, where the entire re
publican ticket was defeated in Nov
ember, a result which the A njus took
a leading part to accomplish, there arc
i-reai opportunities before that paper,
and its alert editor proposes to seize
them. Success to him.
The new County Commissioners,
Court Treasurer, Associate Judge,
Register and Recorder, and Prothono
'ary will be sworn in on Monday next.
Vll are new hands except Register
ind Recorder Campbell, who succeeds
iiimself, and Commissioner Ritten
iiouse.. Prothonotary Quick has been
leputy clerk for many years, and will
)e perfectly at home in the office.
.'ommissioner Edgar has filled that
office before, and knows all about it,
Idle C. L. Sands being a practical
business man, will make a competent
jfficial. Geo. A. Herring, the present
rficient Treasurer, will hand over the
unds to John L. Kline. Hon. Mor
iccai Millard goes on the bench and
trill assist in the administration of
ustice.
Too Many Tax Measures.
The prospect that the year 1S9J
will see the entire State debt wiped
Yut has not been lost sight of by the
farmers of the state, and they are
seeking to have their local taxation
or school purposes reduced by advo
ating an increase of the State ap
iropriation for common schools from
p2,ooo,ooo, the present figure, to $4,--00,000
as soon as the debt is paid.
This they argue can be done without
ncreasing the rate of taxation for
.tate purposes.
While the amount appropriated by
hi state for school purposes has been
oubled within a few years, there is
. 1 doubt that it can be doubled under
i present system of state taxation as
on as the state debt is finally paid,
that should appear to be the best
bject to which the state money could
e applied. Still if the bulk of the
:hool funds are raised by local taxa
on the tax-payers will be likely to
ike a greater personal interest in the
:hools and secure better schools as
. le result,
Apart from the question as to
.'hether the bulk of the school funds
liould be raised by local or state tax
tion, there seems to be a necessity
or liberal expenditures for other pur
ioses as soon as the state can afford
. A new capitol is needed urgently.
The existing buildings at Harrisburg
re totally inadequate and should be
'.placed by buildings in some measure
roportionate to the wants of the pub
c business of the second State of the
,'nion. The erection of those build
. gs must of necessity cover a term of
ears, and the surplus caused by the
nal payments of the state debt could
; profitably diverted to this purpose
)r some time.
Neither would it be wise to involve
e question of doubling the state
iool fund with that of the equaliza
jn of taxation. The farmers com
ain that they pay for local purposes
-pon real estate a much higher tax
ite than is collected for state pur
ges of corporate and personal prop
:ty.. The simpler plan would be to
ik a'l property for local purposes. In
iat way the . necessary school funds
iukl be raised and the farmer's
hool tax rate be reduced quite as
cell as by doubling the state appro
:aliort. The danger is that the in
vied Mate appropriation for schools
y be used to defeat the more im--tant
measure for the equalization
taxation which the farmers will urge
consideration ut once. Pass a
:v tax bill and let the state surplus
cs alone until there is a burplus
imes.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Itrgiilnr Coms.ondent.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 29 1890.
Mr. Harrison is no longer confining
himself to secretly manipulating the
wires that are being laid to secure him
a renomination in 1S9J. He in now
openly a candidate; and no republican
of prominen c who visits him leaves
the White House without being made
aware of that fact, and he is losing no
opportunity of making deals to secure
delegates to the next republican nat
ional convention. Ex-Senator lkuce
to whom he gave the second best local
office in the District of Columbia; ex
Representative Lynch, whom he made
one of the Auditors of the Treasury,
and a negro named Europe, who holds
a position in the Post office depart
ment, are relied upon, to control the
negro delegates from the South, and
his own State has he thinks, been made
solid for him by his making friends
with Treasurer Huston, who some time
ago tendered his resignation in a huff
because he thought himself and wife
had not been treated with sufficient
consideration by Mr. and Mrs. Harri
son. Secretary Rusk, who has within a
week taken occasion to publically an
nounce not only that he was not a
candidate, but his support of Mr. Har
rison, is confident that he can secure
a solid delegation from his State, and
the other members of the cabinet are
all working to do the same thing in
their respective states. This has been
made much easier by the fact that the
result of the recent election together
with the attitude of the republican
leaders in Congress on the Force bill
and other matters to which he is oppos
ed has removed all desire on the part
of Mr. Blaine forf'e nomination. He
doesn't believe that there is hardly a
a possibility that any republican can
be elected, therefore he will interpose
no objection to Mr. Harrison's being
vindicated by a renomination.
Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan,
feels about a hundred per cent larger
than he did a week ago. He is cred
ited with having had Judge Brown, of
his State, nominated to the vacancy
on the bench of the Supreme Court
in the face of the active opposition of
his Senatorial Colleague, General Al
ger and Secretary Blaine, all of whom
supported another Michigan candi
date. Christmas knocked the republican
leaders in the Senate out in the first
round. Mr. Hoar refused to even en
tert iin the idea of passing the usual
resolution for a holiday recess and
stated that the Senate would be in
session every day until the Force bill
was passed, but he reckoned without
counting the strong home attractions
of a majority of the Senators of his
party. By Christmas eve the Senate was
short ofa quorum and adjourned to
Saturday; on Saturday the number of
Senators had dwindled to 1 8 and after
a five minute session, devoted . to
prayer by the chaplain, an adjourn
ment was taken until today. Today
there is not a quorum present, but an
effort will be made by the republicans
to continue the debate on the election
bill until a quorum gets here. It will
hardly sue eed though, as it will be
done without a quorum. The House
is doing nothing for the same reason,
and it looks as though things would
remain in the same condition for the
rest of this week.
Attorney General Miller has made
his contribution to the Harrison boom
in the shape of an opinion which, if it
holds good, will enable Mr. Harrison
to turn the World's Fair into a mam
moth Harrison machine, by appointing
an army of political heelers to do im
aginary work towards preparing for the
exposition, while their real work will
be for Mr, Harrison and the republi
can party.
The anti-silver republicans, who are
all in favor of the Force bill, do not
derive much satisfaction from the ex
pected arrival of two more votes for
that measure, in the persons of the
new Idaho Senators, because both of
those Senators are understood to be
enthusiastic friends of free silver coin
age. These anti-silver republicans are
opposed to any financial legislation of
any kind at this session, and they only
agreed to the financial bill recently re
ported for the purpose of quieting the
silver men in their party and fully in
tended to prevent a vote ever being
taken upon it. The silver men have at j
last had their eyes opened, and they
are threatening to make the fur fly as
soon as the holiday abcentees get
back,
Commissioner Raum has been com
pelled by Secretary Noble to write a
letter in favor of the bill now pending
to reduce the attorney's fee for obtain
ing an increase in pension to $2. The
attorney's lobby still boldly and conn
dently announces their ability to de
feat the bill.
Public opinion has proved too
strong for the House committee on
Rules, which has decided to report in
favor of Representative Dockerty's
resolution authorizing an investigation
of the charge against Congressmen of
speculating in silver bullion.
Thoy Have Never Tailed I
I have been sick more or less for
the last ten years, which has cost me
many dollars in doctors and druggists'
bills. The last two years it only cost
me three dollars. Why? Because I
used Sulphur Bitters instead of em
ploying doctors. They cured me of
Jaundice. F, F. Jloyil, JJobvken.
Now is the time for good resolutions.
Not resolutions to be made today and
broken tomorrow, not resolutions based
upon the impulse of the moment, i.ol
resolutions of mere sentiment, but
those based upon something substan
tial that will do ourselves or somebody
else some good. The year of our
Lord 1890 has passed away, and we
have entered upon the last decade of
the nineteenth century. Some of tis
may live to see the dawn of the twenti
eth century, but before it shall come
there is no telling who may be called
hence. Years roll by, and almost be
fore we know it one New Year's day
succeeds another. And with each year
we are closer to the end of our earthly
journey and the grave. While we are
here let us lose no opportunity to do
all the good we can, so that when our
end shall come we may be missed at
least by some who may feel that our
lives have not been altogether in vain,
and that when we are laid away be
neath the sod we may be remembered
for having done some good in the
World. Now is the time to turn over
a new leaf.
His Daughter Suffered From Eczema.
My daughter suffered for five years
with an attack of Chronic Eczema,
that baffled the treatment of all the
best practitioners. I then concluded
to try a course of Swift's Specific (S. S.
S.) She began to improve from the
first dose, and before she had complet
ed the second bottle the iiritation had
disappeared, and she is now well and
enjoying unexcelled health. These
are plain and simple facts, and 1 will
cheerfully answer all inquiries, either
in person or by mail, V. Vaughn,
Druggist, Sandy Bottom, Va.

1 have used Swift's Specific for
e'eansing the Blood of impurities, and
find it is be the best in the market. It
not only purifies the blood, but it is
a most excellent tonic, and builds up
the general health promptly. J. Mln

A Great Electrio System.
One of the most attractive places in
Philadelphia, especially at evening, is
the store of Bailey, Banks, & Biddle.
The vast establishment is lighted
by night by 700 incandescent electric
lights, a system of lighting which it
has taken an expert electrician six
months to perfect. It is certainly as
near perfection as the art ot illumi
nation has so far reached and the ef
fect is what might be termed entranc
ing. Bursts of bright yellow light come
from numerous overhead electroliers,
while ingeniously hidden globes light
up with startling brilliancy the cases
devoted to silverware. Along one
side of the store effulgent beams of
light shoot out from behind single
slips of flowers, being reflected by the
glittering plate-p'.ass mirrors. In the
art room the various objects of beauty
have in addition to their own charm,
received the benefit of this system
of artificial lighting. Apparently care
lessly displayed shafts of light, some
times perfect floods of it, are brought
to bear in a most harmonious man
ner on the articles to which its splen
dor is more easily lent. The charm
of it all lies in the studied careless
ness and in the artistic manner in
which the glow lamps are hidden, giv
ing to the whole store an appearance
which recalls a page of a fairy tale.
"Struck Gas" will be presented in
the Opera House this Friday evening.
The New York papers thus speak of
it:
"Struck Gas" has been carefully
produced at the Amphion Academy
this week and is pronounced as good,
if not better, than the average run of
comedies of its sort, and has been
pleasing to those who have seen it.
The company is a good one, and
have given the comedy in its best
phase. Every one in Brooklyn who
patronizes theaters saw it last season,
and will want to see it again. The
comedy has a new stage dress and
the costumes are of the very best.
Lillian Harper as Nan was all that
she should have been, "Struck Gas"
abounds in good music, and the com
pany is certainly a capable one. "Fun
and frolic reign supreme at the Amph
ion this week. N. Y. Sun, Sept. 17,
1889.
There's more plot in "Struck Gas,"
which was presented at the Amphion
Academy last evening, than any of
the Tannehill faicus which have been
seen in Brooklyn. The hit of the
evening was Lillian Harper as Nan.
She sang well, danced gracefully, and
altogether worked hard to make the
comedy a success. Drake and Duck,
the two members of the G. A. R.,
were capitally played. The balance
of the cast was in capable hands. JV.
Y. World, Sept. 17, 1889.
When I Was Sick !
My room looked like a drug store, I
had so many bottles in it. The more
I dosed, the worse off I was. Finally,
I paid my doctor and told him he
needn't come any more. I was troub
led with Chronic Rheumatism, and
couldn't get out of bed alone. Six
bottles of Sulphur Bitters cured me.
