Mr. Harrison has as hard a task be fore him in the selection of a success or to the late Secretary of the Treas ury as his worst enemy could possibly have set for him, it is a task too in which the country at large is more directly interested in than anything he has yet undertaken. It will be very difficult to find a man willing to accept the place who possesses the ability combined with the conservatism of the dead Secretary; and what will add no little to Mr. Harrison's trouble is the fact that all the prominent republicans in both House and Senate who have been recently repudiated by their con stituents will be, in fact are already clamoring for the place for themselves. Whoever he selects he is bound to make new enemies in his party, and being a candidate for a renomination that is just what he cannot afford to do. Besides this, the man selected will have to be satisfactory to the busi ness men of the country, or a financial panic may be precipitated. So far the men who are mentioned for the vacancy are just those who should not be selected. Representa tive McKinley can, it is thought, have the place if he wants it, but he has high protection on the brain to so great an extent that his appointment would be a very great mistake, and one that would de certain to bring trouble. Senator Spooner is talked of, but he is a lawyer and lacks the financial ex perience and executive ability which is absolutely necessary. The others may be bunched in one bad lot, which includes Senator Ingalls, ex-Gov. ("Calico Charley") Foster, Represen tative Cannon and that ex-boss, parti cularly known for ways that are devi ous. Stephen B. Elkins. "It has been a long time dying and numerous false reports of its death have been given out, but this time the Force bill really is dead, dead beyond all hopes of even a partial resurrection owing to the action of twelve republi can Senators in deciding that they will not vote for it. It is hard for such radicals as Senator Hoar, Aldrich Edmunds and Spooner to give up the idea of intimidating the South, but even they acknowledge that the thing is deal and that no further attempt will be made to revive it. In conse quence, the legitimate business of the session the annual appropriation bills is fairly humming in both House and Senate. The Senate by a party vote refused to amend the apportionment b 11 granting what was so clearlv the right of Arkansas, Minnesota and New York one additional member to each, and passed the bill just as it left the House Senators Davis and Washburn, of Minnesota voted with the democrats for the amendment, and strange as it may seem Senators Evarts and Hitch cock of New York voted against it. Brother Johnny Wanamaker will have to get himself a new hobby. His postal telegraph scheme, in spite of the amount of Government money he spent in the publication of his views thereon, is as dead as a door nail. The House committee on Post offices will not even report it. Representative McCreary, who is regarded as one of the most conserva tive men in the House paid his res pects to Czar Reed on Saturday in a manner that was quiet but severe. His committee b oreign Affairs having been refused a clay for the considera tion ot us Dills, he said: "Never be- tore in my experience on the Commit- ,.-c on v oreign Attairs, has that com mittee been refused a day for the con siaeration ot bi lis rennrtprl tu refusal to give this committee a dav is cut another error in the comedy of vwwia whiwi uas mancea tne ruty-nrst It seems that the republican Sena tors will never finish making personal explanations of their course regarding the Force bill. Saturday Senators Blair and Teller had their turns. Next! Secretary Windom's funeral occured liere to-day. AH of the Government Uepartmenrs, the local officers and the public schools were closed. There was considerable growling among that large class who make it a point to at tend every prominent funeral they pos "blycan, because admission to the Jlnirch was by ticket, and the tickets vere only furnished to prominent jeople. The remaining members of he cabinet acted as honorary pall bearers. The resolution to discharge the House Coinage committee from furth er consideration of the free coinage bill is liable to make the largest sort of a rumpus in the House at any time, il that committee persists in us present ellorts to kill the bill by delay. How not to investigate the silver pools seems to be the real object of the House committee, which is osten sibly encaged in investigation. If this committee slurs over its work the democrats in the next House will try their hands at probing it to the bot torn. Editors Columiuan: The farmers see from the correspon dence ol .Harrisburg that transporta tion and transmission companies which include railroad, canal, telegraph and pipe line companies will not favor, but naturally oppose the 4 Revenue Com mission Bill" so far as relates to be taxed for local purposes, on the ground that they are not of a local character. Then they must be "a privilege of character," subject to no local author ity, and yet existing and operating in every local community, occupying space and land within the territor ial limits of every township and county of the Commonwealth, many thousand times enhanced in valuation previous to occupancy when every inch of land was taxed for local purposes to the extent of full valuation. This is the farmers opportunity. They were for many years, robbed by grossly un just inequality of taxation and any in terest that now declines to take its fair share of the public burden is not worthy the name of an existance, and should be branded as a highway rob ber. The farmers' wrath is smol lering in their bosom and will be kindled to in dignation against any and all who may assist the "artificial individual" to "gobble up" the natural. Every inter est should have its equal rights and the farmer is bound to have his along with the rest. Any interest that can not exist by bearing its equal share of the public burden, let it go to the wall, where the farmer is. The agricultural industry is as necessary and important as any other industry, but it has been robbed and defrauded that all other interests might thrive, and "By the eternal" such highway robbing will not be very peaceably submitted to by the farmers in the future. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and knowing our rights we will obtain them It is agreed that the business de pression and destitution among farm ers is mainiy due to extravagance and indulgence in fineries and home enter tainment by means of instrumental music whose sweet and melodious strains burst forth in charming volume from the piano or organ which the farmers' family enjoys with as great a relish as the families of professionals or officials. That he should deny him self of these great blessings in order to eke out a miserable existance is the idea of the farmer's lot by many who are favored with more remunerative employment. It would seem that other classes delight to see the farmer ground down and confined to the light fare of mush, and milk and molasses with an occasional change of "rick meal speck and saurkraut" and his family clad in blue drilling, that tfiey might fry all the fat out of the fruits of his labor. Be it understood once for all. that the farmer has as good a right to the good things of this life as any class, and his aspirations for the cul ture of his children by placing within their reach all refining influences are enobling and praiseworthy All classes are dependent upon the farmer for their living as much as his own family. If the farmer is not enabled to keep abreast with the times along with his neighbors of the professions and other occupations by reason of hard times and depressions, there is something radically wrong and unjust in the dis tribution of pucuniary advantages, which, when the farmer discovers he will rectify with a vengeance. Of all classes, the farmer sohuld be front and formost in improvement and easy cir cumstances. The reverse being true only proves that taxes, charges, fees and salaries of other classes prey up on his means that rob him to the ex tent of absolute destitution. His credulity has been tested to the point of eruption, and patience with the farmer has teased to be a virtue. Faumer. How's This?

Coal near Williamsport The Williamsport Republican says: It would seem from recent develop ments that some pretty extensive soft coal beds exist just north of the city limits. It has not been so very long ago that workmen while digging a new road on the Packer farm came onto some outcroppings of bituminous coal, and now the same valuable mineral has been discovered on the - Watson farm. From this it seems reasonable to suppose that the beds extend all along the tract of land north of the city, and if they are fully developed they may piove a valuable addition to the industries of the city. The Watson farm was recently pur chased by Mr. John M. Young and Mr. John R. 1 . Ryan, and recently these gentlemen have been having a stone quarry opened on the land. The other day while the workmen were quarrying for stone they suddenly brought to view a very good quality of semi 'bituminous coal. 1 he workmen did not investigate farther, however. 1 he coal was found under a layer of olive-green shale, just where coal is generally discovered, and no doubt a good paying vein will be brought to light on further prospecting.

Tho Pennsylvania Eailroad Company's Tours to the Sunny South There was a time, not many years ago, when the first cold snap drove the seeker after more genial climate to Florida, and this meant several days of tedious journeying; but to-day noth ing is thought of it whatever, for, through the medium of the series of winter tours, under the personally conducte I system of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Jacksonville and points even more southern are reached in comparatively few hours, while en route the traveler is enjoying the com forts and delights of a home. Already one of the tours has gone, and four re main to be run from Ne" York to Jacksonville, as follows: February 3d and 17th, March 3d and 17th. Tour ists will travel in Pullman Palace Cars in charge of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon. A limit, as in the first tour, must necessarily be made in order to allow each passenger a double berth, and this limit has been made one hundred and fifty. The round-trip rate, includiug Pull man accommodations and meals en route in dining car attached to the train, is $50,00 from New York, $48,. 00 from Philadelphia," Baltimore, and Washington. Tickets will be sold from all principal stations on the Pennsylvania Railroad system to a connecting point with the special at proportionately low rates, tor detail ed information and descriptive itiner ary application should be made to ticket offices. Indiana has now fallen into line with the movement for the election of United States Senators by popular vote. On Thursday both houses of the legislature adopted a joint resolu tion memorializing Congress to sub mit an amendment to the Constitution providing for this. The election of General Palmer as Senator from Illi nois would add such an impetus to the movement that such an amendment would almost surely be submitted and ratified. Secretary Windom of President Harrison's cabinet dropped dead while attending a banquet at Delmonico's, New York, last week Thursday. He had just finished an eloquent speech. and sat down, when he fell to the floor and expired in a few moments. He was one of the ablest men of the pres ent administration. The Philadelphia Democrats have nominated Magistrate Ladner for Mayor. 100 I'ICTUUES FOR x.oo. 50 I0S TCN PE0TCGArH3 $1.00. CABINET PiOTOSBAPHS 09c to Wl?
