Sudden deaths appear to be on the increase. One can scarcely pick up a daily paper without seeing the an nouncement of several such deaths. Usually the dot-tors attribute this to "heart failure." What is any death but heart failure? When the heart stops beating, death ensues at once, no matter what the disease. William J. Florence, the celebrated actor, died at the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia, last week Thursday. He had been playing with Joe Jeffer son for several seasons, and was at tacked with pneumonia while filling an engagement with him. He has been prominent on the stage for thirty years or more, and had a host of friends and admirers. The Philadelphia Inquirer, organ ot the Constitutionalist-unconstitutional" politicians, continues to en large on the expenditures of the ses sion of the Senate, placing the cost at $50,000. But it omits to mention the fact that the Senate wasted $40,000 out of that $50,000, by going on and taking testimony on a subject which it subsequently declares to be beyond its jurisdicticn. Pittsburg Dispatch, Hep. Many people suffer for years from trouble-some and repulsive sores, boils and eruptions, without ever testing the marvelous curative properties of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The experiment is, certainty, worth trying. He sure you get Ayer's Sarsaparilla and no other. Hon. Silas M. Clark, one of the Justices of the Sta'e Supreme Court, died at his home in Indiana county last Friday night. He was a man of affable manner, courtly beating, and great legal ability. No Judge upon the bench more thoroughly possessed the confidence and respect of the bar and the people. His successor will be appointed by Governor Pattison, to serve until a year from next January. The names of Judge Bucher of Lewis burg, Judge Baer of Somerset, and several others have been mentioned in connection with the place. An effort is being made to boom Philadelphia, and to instil new life and vigor into it. On a recent visit to that city we were forcibly reminded of the fact that even the railroad com panies look upon the City of Brotherly Love as a way-station on their lines. As we reached the city a brakeman entered the car and c.ied out, "Broad street station, change cars for New York." When one arrives at New York he does not hear the brakemen cry out "change cars for Philadelphia," and when one reaches Chicago he is not told to "change cars for Omaha." The railroad companies are doing as much as anything else to put Philadel phia in the light of a way station, in stead of the third city of the Union. Our Quaker friends want to get on to the transportation lines and induce them to stop this sort of thing. Has Shirked the Issue. The Senate has not acted with fair ness or justice to the people of the Commonwealth, or to Mr. Boyer, or to Mr. McCamant. It has simpy evaded a duty imposed upon it by the Constitution of 1873, which clearly provided for the removal of certain elected officers for "reasonable cause,'' on address of the Senate, as well as for their removal by impeachment for mis demeanor in office. The Governor did his duty when he called the Sen ate together in extra session j he gave that body the opportunity to exercise a power conferred upon it by the Con stitution ; that it has shirked the issue need be no concern of the Governor any more than of other law-abiding citizens of the Commonwealth, who are shamed and disgraced by the sub serviency of the Senate of Pennsyl vania to the supposed demands of partisan policy. Ledger. A New Ruling. The Post-office Department has is sued orders that hereafter circulars having anything printed on them by a rubber stamp will have to be prepaid as first-class matter. The order is on the principle that a stamp is nothing more or less than writing from the fact that it is used as a pen is used, and the legend it produces is as indi vidual as those of a pen. Some favor a tariff for revenue only, some a tariff with incidental protection and some a tariff for protection, per se; but a large majority favor the free use of Silvation Oil for cuts and bruises.

The department of state has received oflicial returns from every county in the commonwealth except Venango. They show that there was a remarkably large vote out for an off year. The total vote cast in sixty-six counties was, for auditor general, 784,774, and for state treasurer, 785,423, to which may be added about 5,000 votes for Venan go county, making, in round numbers, 709,000 in all. At the election for state treasurer in 1889 but 644,042 votes were cast. General Gregg's plurality is 58,729, to which may be added 772 from Ve nango, a total of 59,501. Captain Morrison's plurality is 53,307 j with Venango's 481, 53,783. The Prohibition candidates failed to poll three per cent, of the total vote cast as required by tlie Baker ballot reform bill to entitle the party to have its tickets for the next election printed at public expense. To secure this free printing it will be necessary to furnish what is to be known as nominating pa pers, which must have signatures equal to one-half of one per cent, of the high est vote cast for a successful candidate at the preceding election. These pa pers will therefore require about 2,100 signatures. The constitutional convention was snowed under, receiving, in the sixty six counties given but 172,401 out of a total of 588,834 votes cast. Two hundred thousand voters failed to cast a ballot either way on this question. The oflicial vote by counties fs given below : MMHTOH HTATK CVINH'T'NAI. (1KNKHA1. TKKAHl'HKB ONV NT ON.

It is a mistake to consider Calanh merely a local trouble. It is unquestionably a disease of the blood, and therefore the right way tn cure Catarrh is to remove from the blood the impurities which cause nnd feed it. This is to be done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blooj purifier, which effectually expels all traces of poison and germs of disease. "I have been troubled for years with (Catarrh and have never received the least 1 e:ief.t from the many so-called catarrh cures. Of Ule I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and can honestly say that I am certainly imj roved. I know Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a good medicine." II, A. George, Athol, Mass.

Wallace, who has been a member of the lower House of the Pennsylvania Legislature, several times State Senator, United States Senator for six years, and twice a strong com petitor for the Democratic nomination for Governor, in an interview in a Tit's burg newspaper declares that he would like very much to go back to the low er House of the Legislature during the next term. This is the kind of frank statement that often conies from Mi. Wallace His object is explained with equal frankness. He desires to be in the Legislature to do what he can to secure for the voters of Pennsylvania a satis factory ballot system and to provide something that would act as a screen between the illiterate and the ballot. He believes the State is absolutely suffering from the flood of illiteracy that is coming in upon it from other countries. He favors compelling for eigners to read and write before they are allowed to become voters. This he regards as a remedy for some of the dangers threatening the larger States. Without going into the merits of Mr. Wallace's proposition, which is one that is not new with him, it is desirable to encourage the presence in the Leg islature of men of his ability and ex perience. Mr. Wallace should have no great difficulty in getting elected to the House. It is a very worthy am bition. He lives in a strongly Demo cratic county which has two members, and it is hardly probable that the Clearfield Democrats would begrudge him one of the places. They would do themselves a wrong if they did, in view of the very ordinary kind of ma terial they have recently sent to repre sent them. It would be a most excellent advance ment if both parties would conclude now, for it is none too eaily, to nomi nate for the Legislature men of more substantial character, ability, and loftier purposes than is generally done. The int.ntion should be made general so that the whale tone of the Legislature can be improved as it shall be. Many of the members, and particularly many from the large, cities, are a disgrace to the constituencies which they do not really represent, but which are respon sible for them just the same. These men are totally unfit for their duties, and serve no purpose in the Legisla ture but to bnng that body into popu lar contempt. This is partly due to machine meth ods in both parties, and is primarily the fault of the people, who are too in different at a time when they should be innch interested. Another draw back is in the fact that men who ought to be in the Legislature do not gener ally seek election. They ought to pat tern after the frankness of Mr. Wallac and announce themselves, and the people ought to go after them and bring them out. To be a member of the Legislature is a very proper and worthy desire on the part of anyone fit for the duty. It should be encour aged in every district in the State. There is no more responsible trust In the public service than that of the lawmaking power. And yet the peo ple in many districts allow it to fall in to the hands of men who are - ignorant or corrupt and have no knowledge whatever of what is required of them. There is no better time than the pres ent to resolve upon a change. Ex change.
